Without going into how Tang Chunlan and Lu Liang returned, let’s just say that Tang Qiyue was carrying some crabs and was walking home when she met Zheng Hongjuan on the way.
"Hey, why aren't you with Captain Zhan?"
When Zheng Hongjuan saw Tang Qiyue, she didn't believe it at first, then she ran to her, grabbed her arm and looked anxious.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Qiuyue noticed Zheng Hongjuan's anxiety and was afraid that something might have happened, so she patted her arm soothingly and asked her to calm down.
"Your man went to the military area with Doctor Qin. Aren't you worried?"
This matter!
Tang Qiyue laughed, "What's there to worry about? If we don't even have this little bit of trust, how can we be a couple?"
Zheng Hongjuan was amazed, thinking that Tang Qiyue was just too careless.
"I'm telling you, Captain Zhan isn't a superficial person. No matter how pretty you are, how can a housewife like you compare to Doctor Qin? If I were you, you should have accepted the invitation to become our island's resident doctor sooner. You'd be considered a career woman, and no one would look down on you!"
As if afraid that Tang Qiyue didn't understand, she also gave her own explanation.
Tang Qiyue didn't want to argue with her about these things, so she asked her, "Have you had lunch?"
Zheng Hongjuan touched her stomach and asked, "How do you know I didn't eat?"
Just now, Tang Qiuyue heard Zheng Hongjuan's stomach growling. It was obvious that she didn't eat enough for breakfast, and she must be hungry now that it was noon.
"Come to my house. I'll fry some crabs. Do you want some?"
Speaking of food, Zheng Hongjuan swallowed her saliva. She had tasted the chili sauce made by Tang Qiuyue, so she naturally believed that her cooking skills would not be much worse.
"eat!"
Zheng Hongjuan was, after all, a simple-minded girl, so she naturally couldn't hide her little thoughts and was immediately led astray.
He held Tang Qiyue's arm, helped her carry the little crab, chattered about the latest gossip, and followed Tang Qiyue back home.
Tang Qiyue didn't say anything nonsense. The small crabs were easy to clean. They only needed to be washed a few times and nothing else to do. They could just be thrown into the pot and stir-fried slowly over low heat.
The crabs are already salty, so there is no need to add more salt.
You can take it out and eat it as a snack while stir-frying.
Both of them had good stomachs, so they just put the little crabs in their mouths and chewed them up.
"So you're not afraid of Dr. Qin because of your cooking skills!"
Zheng Hongjuan sighed after eating a few crabs. Tang Qiyue shook her head and laughed, too lazy to explain to her.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that your runaway sister has come to the island. What's wrong with you? Are you going to be a coward? I'm telling you, you can't be a coward. If you need help, I can help you!"
Zheng Hongjuan was grateful for the help she received, so she naturally had to find ways to help so that she could feel at ease.
Tang Qiuyue told her not to get involved.
Tang Chunlan's coming to the island did cause some trouble to Tang Qiyue, but it was just a little bit and would not affect her life.
What's more, the island is closed, so even if something really happens, Tang Chunlan will be the one who suffers.
What Tang Qiyue is most worried about now is whether the Tang family’s affairs will implicate her mother.
Tang Xiuyuan is also on the island, so even if there is any impact, it can be ignored. However, even if Tang's mother divorced Tang's father early, to put it bluntly, they still have two children. What's more, Tang Qiyue and Zhan Zeye had just gotten married. If someone with ulterior motives seizes on this and makes trouble, they will still be implicated.
Zheng Hongjuan did not stay for lunch, but grabbed a handful of small crabs and left. She did not tell her elder sister that she would not go back for lunch, in case she couldn't find anyone during the meal and her elder sister would punish her.
Without Zheng Hongjuan's interruption, Tang Qiyue made crab paste with the remaining small crabs and put it in a jar, waiting for time to ferment, before having lunch.
It was not until dark that Zhan Zeye came back.
However, the news brought back really gave Tang Qiyue a headache.
She knew that something must have happened in the Tang family, and that Tang's mother would be implicated to some extent.
"Is there any specific news about my mother?"
Tang Qiyue was worried that her mother couldn't bear it. If something happened again, she would be devastated.
Zhan Zeye sat on a chair next to the table and poured himself a glass of water.
After a long while, he said, "This is all the information I can find out. Time is tight, so I called the old leader. He said he would give me some news after the investigation is complete!"
Although the news on the island is a bit delayed, if something really happens, Tang Qiyue is now out of town and cannot reach him, so it is indeed difficult to deal with it.
Thinking of this, Tang Qiyue slowly calmed down her worries.
"By the way, your hot sauce is delicious. Make more and I'll mail some to the old leader!"
At first, Tang Qiyue didn't react, thinking that Zhan Zeye just wanted to do a favor by giving her something she made. But she soon realized that even if the old leader was just sending a message to Zhan Zeye, it was a private matter and it was not appropriate to occupy public resources.
"Okay, does he have any dietary restrictions? I also made some crab sauce and meat sauce!"
Tang Qiyue stood up and was about to go to the kitchen to prepare, but Zhan Zeye held her back: "Don't rush right now. We just got back, and it will take a few days for another boat to leave the island. Take your time to prepare!"
Tang Qiyue thought that sending only chili sauce was indeed not enough, and she also needed to prepare some other things. If she had more days, she could indeed prepare some more good things.
Without continuing the topic, Tang Qiyue suddenly asked him, "If I want the old leader to protect my mother, can I exchange it for the water-repellent beads technology I gave you?"
Zhan Zeye was stunned.
Then his face was filled with shock.
"Are you crazy?"
Tang Qiyue shook her head. In fact, this idea had been turning around in her mind.
Although the technology of water-repellent beads is much more advanced, it can still be easily made once the principle is understood. This is why Tang Qiyue dared to give it to Zhan Zeye.
I'm not afraid that he will really find someone to decipher it.
Zhan Zeye rubbed his chin, took out the water-repellent beads he had been carrying in his pocket, and twirled them around on his fingertips.
"You can't explain this!"
This is the hardest part.
"It's because we don't know how to explain the source that we need the old leader to step in. If we give him the thing, I believe he will be able to help conceal it!"
Having lived in the apocalypse for many years, Tang Qiyue knew that special treatment was possible under certain privileges.
Obviously Zhan Zeye also knew this situation.
"Do you trust the old leader so much?"
Zhan Zeye looked at Tang Qiyue, who shook her head: "I don't believe him, I believe you!"
The old leader who could make Zhan Zeye trust him so unconditionally must at least have good character, otherwise he would not have subconsciously asked the old leader for help.
Zhan Zeye was amused. He put the water-repellent beads away and said, "If you want to give them to me, I must go there in person. I don't trust anyone else to give them to me!"
Tang Qiyue leaned in Zhan Zeye's arms and nodded: "The credit can be attributed to you, just say it was obtained from that space-time rift!"
The more mysterious the better.
But Zhan Zeye knocked her on the forehead: "Do you have any misunderstandings about your man?"
