The news of Bonnie's award quickly spread throughout the family compound, and her speech was also heard. Many of her sisters-in-law came to her door, not for any other reason than that Bonnie had spoken their minds.
Bonnie's story not only made her famous in the island military unit, but also left a deep impression on some leaders in Beijing. Gu Ye heard about this from his older brother.
Even the most exciting things will gradually fade away after a while. Bonnie doesn't pay attention to these things; she's busy training her seaweed farming team to practice with diving equipment, which many people have never seen before.
"Sister Bonnie, shouldn't we ask your husband to explain this to us? We don't understand these things at all."
"I understand..."
Bonnie swallowed back the words that were about to come out; she didn't understand, and couldn't understand, otherwise things would get really messy.
"What did you say, Bonnie? We didn't hear you?"
"Ah, I said I know. Today we'll take a look at these devices, and tonight I'll ask your brother-in-law when I get home to see if he can help or we can find someone else to help."
Bonnie, having managed to smooth things over, wiped away non-existent cold sweat, a shiver running down her spine.
That evening, Bonnie brought up the matter with Gu Ye.
"I'll have a day off the day after tomorrow, then I'll come and tell you all about it, and then take you into the water to practice."
"Then I'll have to trouble Commander Gu!"
Bonnie, mimicking the sexy women on TV, gave Gu Ye a flirtatious wink.
"Honey, don't get agitated, why is your eye twitching!"
Bonnie was stunned as she looked at Gu Ye, who was speaking with such a serious expression.
There's a saying, "Trying to wink at a blind man is a waste of time."
Gu Ye looked at his wife with an innocent expression. Had he said something wrong?
"Gu Ye, I love you!"
Bonnie saw Gu Ye's face turn red instantly, really red. Although his skin was relatively dark, you could still tell he was blushing.
"Baoni, wife, you, I, I..."
Gu Ye stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence. Finally, he hugged Bao Ni tightly in his arms.
Bonnie was almost suffocating from being choked, but she felt secretly pleased. She also thought mischievously, "You little brat, I can handle you."
Lin Baoni never imagined that she, who had never longed for love or marriage before, would get married, have a child, and fall in love with a soldier like Lao Jiang in an era when travel was slow!
Bonnie reached out and wrapped her arms around Gu Ye's waist. At this moment, their hearts were intertwined, and they could feel each other's heartbeats. No one spoke; they just leaned against each other quietly, creating a poignant atmosphere where silence spoke louder than words.
The next day, Bonnie went to the base and took them to the breeding farm to inspect the seaweed seedlings again.
"Sister, Teacher Gao is amazing! Look how well the seaweed is growing, and none of it is spoiled."
"If you weren't good enough, would you be called Teacher Gao? Lin Hai, have you been studying your academic subjects properly lately? Even though you only graduated from junior high, you know how much you've actually learned. I'm giving you a task you absolutely must complete: go through your junior high textbooks from cover to cover by the end of the year. I'll be giving you an exam."
"What?! Bonnie, just kill me! All the things I learned in school are long gone!"
Ignoring his wails, Bonnie addressed the other boys, saying, "You too, before the end of the year, study hard with Han Weidong and the others. Opportunities only come to those who are prepared. Only by being ready at all times can you seize the opportunity when it comes."
Bonnie was helpless. She had overheard Gu Ye mentioning that the army was recruiting a batch of divers at the end of the year, but the requirements were quite strict. Gu Ye didn't say much; this information was revealed by Division Commander Yang because of their squad's previous meritorious service.
Bonnie called Han Weidong and the others over, saying, "You guys need to work hard and go through the junior high school textbooks step by step before the end of the year. How much they can learn and how well they learn it depends on themselves."
"Sister Bonnie, is something wrong...?"
"Han Weidong, you're quick-witted, but this needs to be kept secret. No one can be told. What about you guys? What are your thoughts?"
"Sis, we'll all follow you."
Bonnie didn't understand the intricate relationships among these families with connections, and since she couldn't comprehend it, she decided not to get involved.
"Alright, you all know what's going on. You're all seventeen or eighteen years old now."
They've been here for almost three years, and Bonnie has no idea what her family's considerations were.
After explaining her studies, Bonnie went to see Teacher Gao and the others.
"Teacher Gao, is there anything you need to buy for your daily life?"
“We have everything, nothing is missing. Thanks to you, we’re living a relatively easy life. You don’t need to worry, and don’t come here too often, otherwise things might get bad. You’re a military wife.”
Gao Cheng wasn't some clueless bookworm; he had retreated from the tense situation in Beijing to this island, and he understood everything clearly.
"I understand, I know what I'm doing. Okay, I'm leaving now. Let me know if you need anything."
Bonnie waved and walked towards her parents' house.
"Mom, you're overdoing it! You've prepared so much delicious food. This isn't like you at all!"
"What kind of style do I have? I think you're just asking for a beating. You're just spouting useless nonsense."
"Grandma, here you go."
Gu Sanqi handed her grandmother a feather duster, which was newly made by Brother Lin.
"Gu Sanqi, are you my biological son?"
"No, it was dug out of the horse manure pile."
Where did this gossip come from? Bonnie had no way to deal with Sanqi.
“Lin Feng came over a couple of days ago, and he mentioned it to Sanqi while they were playing together. I didn’t expect Sanqi to have such a good memory; she still remembers it.”
Okay, they're all my biological children, she's the only one I adopted.
