Perhaps it was because Zhan Zeye’s kiss was so strong that Tang Qiyue felt a little short of breath. She did not refute Zhan Zeye’s words, but just rolled her eyes at him.
In broad daylight, this man didn't even bother to be discreet and didn't even draw the curtains.
Fortunately, Zhan Zeye still had some sense. His attention was drawn to the gas lamp on the table. He just hugged Tang Qiyue and asked her where the lamp came from.
After learning that it was Tang Qiyue's dowry, Zhan Zeye sighed and said, "Your father got you a lot of good things. I've seen this thing before, but it's troublesome to use!"
Tang Qiyue hummed.
Just bright it.
“When will electricity be available on the island?”
Tang Qiuyue was used to using electricity, and it was really troublesome without electricity here. She could use it secretly, but it was never as comfortable as using it openly.
"It's still early. We just arrived on the island and the running water isn't even working. It takes time to lay the wires and generate electricity. But your brother's technicians have already started laying wires and generating electricity after they arrived on the island. You can ask them to help!"
Now that the technicians have arrived on the island, they must contribute to its construction.
Tang Qiyue naturally hoped that it would happen as soon as possible.
Before the two of them had even spoken for a moment, someone wrote to Zhan Zeye, saying that he had work to do and couldn't possibly hang out at home with Tang Qiyue all the time.
"Sister Zheng will take care of other people's family affairs, so don't meddle. If you're bored, just chat with the people next door!"
Zhan Zeye left with Political Commissar Wu after saying this.
Tang Qiyue looked at their hurried backs and didn't understand why there were so many things to do every day.
Tang Qiuyue didn't get any small fish or shrimps from the fishing village. She had nothing to do at the moment, so she went to check under the fence. The seeds she had planted before had sprouted.
Now I'm thinking of collecting some dead leaves and making some wood ash to sprinkle around the fence. Wood ash not only provides fertilizer but also has sterilization properties.
Looking at the sky, Tang Qiyue didn't plan to go to the beach. She cleared the weeds around the fence and was about to pick up some dead leaves with her backpack.
"Sister July, what are you doing?"
Xiaoyang appeared in front of Tang Qiyue carrying a backpack. Tang Qiyue saw that the backpack had bent Xiaoyang's back, so she hurried over to help him take the backpack off.
"Why are you here? Is your sister sick again?"
Seeing Xiaoyang like this, Tang Qiyue thought that he had finished the medicine she gave him. She was about to go back to the house to get him some medicine, but Xiaoyang waved his hands repeatedly: "My sister is already well, she doesn't need to take medicine. My mother picked up a lot of green clams at the beach today and asked me to bring some to you!"
It turns out that he wasn't sick.
Only then did Tang Qiuyue see that Xiaoyang's backpack was full of green clams.
This kind of green clams are very common on the seashore. As long as they are given something to cling to, they will multiply in large numbers, and their growth rate is extremely fast. In addition, you don't even need to add water to this thing. Just throw it in the pot and steam it directly. It will be cooked when it opens.
It tastes delicious, but there's a ball of wool-like stuff inside that you can just pull out and throw away when you're ready to eat.
Tang Qiyue knew that this thing was not valuable, so she did not refuse it.
He carried Xiaoyang's backpack to the kitchen, found a basin to pour it out, took out the two eggs cooked by Zhan Zeye in the pot and stuffed them into Xiaoyang's hands.
“Eat it while it’s hot!”
Tang Qiuyue rubbed Xiaoyang's head. She grabbed some candies, wrapped them up and put them in Xiaoyang's backpack.
She didn't leave Xiaoyang at home to play, but took him out.
He walked Xiaoyang all the way to the entrance of the fishing village before turning around to pick up the dead leaves.
When Xiaoyang returned home, he discovered the candy Tang Qiyue had put in the backpack. Xiaoyang's mother sighed, "This stuff is so valuable! How much are those clams picked up from the beach worth? I heard she likes small fish and shrimp. Next time your father comes back, I'll give her some more!"
Xiaoyang agreed.
They are all kind people who know how to be grateful, and Tang Qiuyue’s kindness is worth it.
Tang Qiuyue filled her backpack with a lot of dead leaves and walked back. On the way, she heard some noise and discovered that there were wild rabbits.
Tang Qiyue was just worrying about how to get some meat to eat, but now it’s solved.
She grabbed a handful of stones and threw them as the hare ran away.
She was very good at throwing stones, and she threw a fat wild rabbit into her backpack.
When I got home, Zhan Zeye was not back, but I saw Xu Qiuju chatting with someone at the door.
"Sister-in-law, come here quickly!"
Xu Qiuju called out, and Tang Qiyue pointed at the backpack, "I'll put it in first!"
When Tang Qiyue put down the backpack, Xu Qiuju and the others were already waiting for her in her yard.
"Give!"
Xu Qiuju stuffed a handful of dried crab legs into Tang Qiyue's hand.
This thing is the crab legs that are cooked and dried. Because there is little meat and they are still in the shell, they can be used as melon seeds. It is a rare snack for fishermen on the island.
I don't know where Xu Qiuju got them from, but now everyone has one in their hands. They are sitting in Tang Qiyue's yard. There are a few children playing outside, so there is no need to keep an eye on them.
"What's wrong with you?"
When Tang Qiuyue saw that it was dried crab legs, she didn't hesitate and picked one up and put it in her mouth. She used her teeth to break the hard shell on the outside so that she could eat the dried crab legs inside.
The salty dried crab legs tasted good.
"We were worried that Sister Zhao would be upset. After you were taken away by Battalion Commander Zhan, we followed Sister Zhao to her home. You don't know, but Captain Wang even knelt down before Sister Zhao!"
Xu Qiuju couldn't hold it in anymore and started gossiping with Tang Qiyue.
Li Erhong, who was standing nearby, also nodded. "We were all shocked at the time. We all thought Sister Zhao would recover, but she became silent. Later, Company Commander Wang wrote a letter of guarantee and asked Political Commissar Wu and Sister Zheng to be witnesses. Suddenly, Sister Zhao went crazy!"
I guess they didn't expect things to develop this way, so Xu Qiuju and the others got together to gossip.
Tang Qiyue had not witnessed the scene at that time, so she was naturally curious about what happened.
"Sister Zhao kept slapping herself, but luckily Sister Zheng quickly stopped her! Tsk, tsk, tsk... We were all heartbroken watching her at that time. She must have suffered such a great injustice!"
Xu Qiuju sighed, threw away the crab shell in her hand, and spat: "Sister Zheng comforted Sister Zhao for a long time before she finally told her why she wanted to commit suicide. It turned out that Captain Wang disliked Sister Zhao for having given birth to only daughters, so he complained a few times!"
Li Erhong added, "If it were just that, Sister Zhao wouldn't have committed suicide. It turns out Sister Zhao almost divorced Captain Wang before joining the army. If it weren't for the children dragging Sister Zhao along secretly with Captain Wang, she might have been divorced by her mother-in-law!"
Tang Qiyue was confused.
"Is it Captain Wang who wants to divorce Sister Zhao? Or is it Captain Wang's mother who wants him to divorce Sister Zhao?"
This question stumped Xu Qiuju and Li Erhong.
The two asked in confusion: "Is there any difference between the two?"
Tang Qiyue: ...
"My two sisters, this is a huge difference!"
