Sister Zheng shook her head and sighed, "He's still just a child. I just can't bear to let him go. You've seen how weak my eldest son is. If he joins the army, will he still be alive?"
Sister Zheng raised her chin and let Tang Qiyue look at the child who was reading a book in the room.
Although he is called a child, he is actually only a few years younger than Tang Qiyue.
"I just want him to stay at home for two more years. I won't object to any other arrangements then!"
After saying this, Sister Zheng realized that Tang Qiyue was no better than most of her sons. She explained awkwardly, "Of course, you're much better than that brat. I ruined my son!"
Tang Qiyue didn't care much about these things. After all, she had lived two lives. If she still cared about such things, she would be a real bastard.
However, Tang Qiyue thought of a solution and reminded Sister Zheng, "Sister, there are only two teachers in the school over at the fishing village, and they're too busy. I see that although your eldest child is young, he's a high school student. Teaching first and second graders shouldn't be a problem, right?"
If I can't be a soldier, I should be able to be a teacher.
Although it is not easy to be a young teacher, this era has a special care for intellectuals.
Sister Zheng was stunned for a moment, then slapped her thigh and said, "How could I have forgotten this? As long as he has something to do, his father won't keep an eye on him!"
Useful people don't sit at home and eat idle meals.
Perhaps because she helped Sister Zheng solve a problem, Tang Qiyue was pulled by Sister Zheng to stay for dinner. If Zhan Zeye hadn't come to look for someone, she probably would have stayed for dinner.
It’s not that Tang Qiuyue looks down on the food at Sister Zheng’s house, but because Sister Zheng’s family has many children and food is already tight. If she stays to eat, even though she can’t eat much, it will make their food even tighter.
When Political Commissar Wu came back, Sister Zheng told him Tang Qiuyue's suggestion. Political Commissar Wu thought that she was spoiling her child too much. Why couldn't his son join the army?
"I don't care. This son is not yours alone. You have to agree even if you don't agree. I can't bear to see my eldest son suffer!"
Sister Zheng was angry, and Political Commissar Wu didn't dare to provoke her any further.
He had to wait two years, until his son turned eighteen, and then he had to send him to the army.
Not to mention how Sister Zheng and Political Commissar Wu were quarreling, Tang Qiyue and Zhan Zeye were actually very harmonious. On the way back, they were still talking about what happened that day, especially about how they helped the people in the family compound get the vegetable seedlings.
Tang Qiuyue reminded her to take it easy, saying that it was useless to say too much as many people might not be able to remember it.
"I just received news that the old leader is ill and his condition is not very good. I may have to leave quietly for a while!"
It's rare for Zhan Zeye to talk about such things seriously.
Tang Qiyue realized that something was wrong: "Are you sure you are really sick?"
She was afraid that someone had deliberately let Zhan Zeye leave.
"I'm not sure. That's what the news says. It's also possible that someone took advantage of what I did last time. The old leader must have something to ask me, so he did this!"
Zhan Zeye was not sure, but since the news reached him, he had to go out.
Tang Qiyue was not worried about Zhan Zeye's safety, but just reminded him: "Then you want to go alone?"
Zhan Zeye shook his head: "I'll take Yang Tianqi with me. He doesn't fit in here. He's too restless!"
Tang Qiuyue also thought this was a good idea and sent the person back to the old leader.
"I'll prepare some medicine for you in case you need it!"
Since he was going out, Tang Qiyue certainly couldn't be without any preparation. Zhan Zeye didn't refuse. He was also afraid that if something really happened to the old leader, his backer would fall.
At this time, the old leader’s life cannot be in danger, as the people under his wing are counting on him.
There was not much time for nonsense, and Zhan Zeye left that night. Without Yang Tianqi and Zhan Zeye on the island, Tang Qiyue felt a lot more relaxed.
I take care of the vegetable garden during the day and use the system to exchange things at night. From time to time, I follow Uncle Li and the one-eyed uncle to go out to sea to get some things back.
Life was quite comfortable, but maybe it was too comfortable, so God wanted to create some trouble.
That day, Tang Qiyue was fishing at the beach with Shanhu and the others when they saw a large amount of white smoke coming out of an island in the distance.
"What's going on?"
Tang Qiyue leaned on the pergola and looked over there. Other people on the beach who were catching seafood also looked over there. An elderly man exclaimed, "That's the magma gushing out from under that island!"
Only the temperature of magma can generate such a large amount of water vapor the moment it gushes out and hits the sea water.
This situation is not that uncommon, but it is a little scary to see it from such a close distance.
After all, they can still see the appearance of the magma when it gushes out, from fiery red to black, and the visual impact caused by that process is still very great.
"Fortunately, it's just lava eruption, not an earthquake, so don't be afraid!"
Shanhu patted his chest and told Tang Qiyue: "Let's continue looking for seafood!"
Shanhu asked Tang Qiyue to continue. Tang Qiyue didn't know the situation on that island, so naturally she had no objection.
But soon someone exclaimed: "Oh no! Is there a boat coming over there?"
Tang Qiyue had good eyesight. When she heard someone shouting, she looked towards the sea level again.
Sure enough, some fishing boats appeared, and they seemed to be heading towards the island where they were.
Shanhu slapped her thigh and said, "I remember now. There are people living on that island. I just never went there, so I forgot about it. They want to come over!"
Soon, Political Commissar Wu and his men also arrived at the beach, looking into the distance with binoculars, and the boats at the dock also began to sail towards that side.
"Sister-in-law, you're here too, that's great. Someone might get hurt later, so I need your help!"
Hu Peng did not leave with Zhan Zeye. He looked very solemn at the moment, and did not seem to be very welcoming to those who came.
"What's going on? Can't they get to the island?"
Tang Qiuyue remembered that the island was under blockade. If these people could come up easily, it would not be a blockade.
"No, our people have already gone there and will stop everyone. If anyone doesn't listen, they might take action!"
Hu Peng did not hide it from Tang Qiyue. When Zhan Zeye left, he repeatedly told Hu Peng and Chen Dazhuang and others that they must protect Tang Qiyue and that they could discuss anything they could not decide with Tang Qiyue.
Although he didn't understand why Zhan Zeye gave such an order, Hu Peng didn't think that Zhan Zeye was abusing his power for personal gain. There must be a reason for him to take care of his own wife.
"Okay, I understand. I'll go back now and get the medicine box. I'll wait at Uncle Li's place. If you need me, I'll get on the boat and follow you!"
Tang Qiyue didn't say anything and turned around to walk home, but before she took a few steps, she heard a loud noise and a column of water rising in the distance.
