"Sister, stop hitting me!"
"How old am I?"
"Don't spank me!"
Zheng Hongjuan's face turned red.
She didn't expect her elder sister to appear, and she didn't expect her elder sister to be so direct and beat her up.
Zheng Hongxia broke the branch in her hand, then dropped the broken branch, grabbed Zheng Hongjuan's ear and came to Tang Qiyue.
"Comrade Tang, I didn't educate my sister well. I'm sorry for causing you trouble!"
Zheng Hongxia looked apologetic. Although she had not met Tang Qiyue formally, her husband had told her long ago that Zhan Zeye attached great importance to this daughter-in-law and asked her to take it seriously.
She had just arrived on the island a few days ago and was busy cleaning the house and getting familiar with life here, so she didn't keep an eye on Zheng Hongjuan. She never thought that her sister had caused so much trouble in the past two days.
If a familiar military wife hadn't told her, she would have been humiliated and thrown back to her hometown by her sister Zheng Hongjuan.
Tang Qiyue waved her hand: "It's no trouble. Comrade Zheng Hongjuan is very cute. I like her very much!"
Tang Qiyue spoke sincerely, and Zheng Hongxia just thought that he had a good temper, which made her feel even more embarrassed.
She took the initiative to introduce herself and patted Zheng Hongjuan on the back of her head: "Hurry up and apologize to Comrade Tang!"
Zheng Hongjuan stiffened her neck, she didn't think she was wrong.
Tang Qiyue waved her hand, "Sister-in-law, there's really no need. She's just reminding me out of kindness. Besides, she didn't say anything wrong. I'm bored here, and she could come over and chat with me!"
Zheng Hongjuan thought Tang Qiyue was just pretending, but she didn't dare to make a scene in front of her elder sister because her elder sister would really punish her.
Zheng Hongxia sighed. She knew very well what her sister's situation was.
"I'm older than you, so I'll call you Xiao Tang out of courtesy. Xiao Tang, don't try to be nice to this evil girl. She's my sister, and don't I understand her temper? She's just a brainless person. She was sold and still helped people count the money!"
Zheng Hongjuan was about to retort, but seeing her elder sister's angry look, she instantly backed down.
Tang Qiyue didn't explain much, but just said that she was really not angry.
"Alright then. I think it's getting late. The horn has already sounded. I guess Captain Zhan will be here to bring you food soon. I'll take this evildoer back and deal with him first!"
Zheng Hongxia was a decisive person and without any hesitation, she grabbed Zheng Hongjuan's ear and took her away.
Tang Qiuyue could only sympathize with Zheng Hongjuan, but she was just sympathizing and had no intention of rushing to help others take the responsibility.
Zheng Hongjuan's character really needs to be educated properly.
Sure enough, after a while, Zhan Zeye came back with a lunch box.
He didn't know what had happened to Zheng Hongjuan and her sister. He saw Tang Qiyue reading a book by the window in the room. After he entered the room, Tang Qiyue closed the book.
"Uncle made dumplings just for you, try them!"
Zhan Zeye handed her the lunch box. Tang Qiyue saw that Zhan Zeye was just sitting next to her and had no intention of eating, so she knew that he must have eaten in the cafeteria.
Tang Qiuyue ate a dumpling and it was indeed very delicious. She ate fifteen in one go.
Only then did he see Zhan Zeye still sitting next to him.
"Aren't you busy?"
It’s no wonder that Tang Qiyue was so curious. At this time, someone in the yard had already carried bamboo and was busy in the yard, but Zhan Zeye was still in the house accompanying her for dinner.
Zhan Zeye handed her the kettle.
"Then I'll go out and do something. Don't worry about it. Just continue reading!"
Zhan Zeye gave some instructions and went out, closing the door behind him. Since there was white gauze on the windows, he didn't have to worry about people outside seeing what was going on inside the house.
Tang Qiyue didn't think about the meaning of Zhan Zeye's behavior just now. She continued to eat dumplings, thinking that she would have to go out later.
The kitchen has been built now, and even the stove was set up yesterday evening. Although it is a simple one, you can put the pot on it and use it directly.
Tang Qiyue didn't want to go to the cafeteria to trouble the one-eyed uncle every time, so it would be easier to cook some food at home.
I'll go to the beach later to see if I can get some small fish. I can stew a pot of small fish in the evening and add some vermicelli. It will definitely taste good.
Tang Qiyue was thinking about something, but her eyes were looking at the busy scene in the yard through the white gauze.
What you see is a group of people busy over there. The fence yard is simple to build. There is no need to roast bamboo. You can just drive stakes and insert them diagonally, and then fix them with vines.
It is very fast to make, but of course the side effect is also great, which is that it is very easy to be damaged. It is estimated that it should be replaced once a year.
But it’s just the beginning now, and I don’t care about its longevity.
Besides, it's hot today. After the fence is built, Tang Qiuyue plans to find some vines to transplant on the fence and sprinkle some morning glory seeds. After a while, the fence will be full of flowers, and there is no need to worry about passers-by seeing what's happening in the yard.
What's more, she can also buy some melon vine seeds, so that she can have loofah, pumpkin and other things to eat.
The plan was very good. After Tang Qiyue finished eating the dumplings and packed up her lunch box, she was about to go out to ask Zhan Zeye how to find the fisherman and Shanhu. She also wanted to learn how to go to the sea from the two indigenous people.
As a result, I saw someone coming over carrying a lot of things.
Only when they got closer did they see that there were wooden beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs and benches.
When Zhan Zeye entered the house, he saw that Tang Qiyue had already packed up, so he reminded her that someone was coming into the house and she needed to pack up the things in the house first.
The dowry box that had been sleeping for two days could finally be replaced, and Tang Qiuyue naturally couldn't wait.
Zhan Zeye didn't let anyone into the house to help. He helped Tang Qiuyue stuff all the things into the dowry box and piled them against the wall first to make room for the bed and the wardrobe. After that, he slowly sorted them out.
Tang Qiuyue went out and watched Zhan Zeye and those people move things into the house.
The room was filled up in an instant, and this was what life was like.
Xu Qiuju and the others heard the noise and ran over.
"That's quite a speed! I heard from Hu Peng that Battalion Commander Zhan made two trips to instruct them to get it done as quickly as possible. They even went out to sea to help the indigenous people today!"
Xu Qiuju whispered to Tang Qiyue.
“Why did the natives let him go into the sea?”
Logically speaking, the indigenous people are the most familiar with the ocean, so why would they ask Zhan Zeye for help?
"Don't you know?"
Xu Qiuju thought Tang Qiyue understood Zhan Zeye, but looking at Tang Qiyue's clear eyes, she knew that she knew nothing.
"Captain Zhan can hold his breath underwater for over ten minutes. None of the indigenous people here can surpass him!"
Going into the sea is a very dangerous thing. Without an oxygen tank, the time you hold your breath determines the depth of the sea and the chance of getting something good.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that people who can hold their breath well are very good in bed. Is that true?"
Just when Tang Qiyue was still surprised, Xu Qiuju's sudden gossipy question almost made her choke to death.
