"That's a type of military boxing. If you want to learn it, you must first become a female soldier!"
The person who spoke was Zheng Hongjuan. She walked up to Tang Qiyue and saw her standing there with a smile on her face. She subconsciously rolled her eyes.
Even though she helped Tang Qiyue explain, she still thought that Tang Qiyue was not worthy of Zhan Zeye.
"Female soldier, can I be one?"
Shanhu really envies those who serve in the army. She is not young anymore. Although her parents love her very much, she still has to get married eventually. But she doesn't want to get married. She doesn't want to be treated as a tool by her husband's family like the fisherman's wife!
Zheng Hongjuan didn't seem to despise Shanhu for her question. Instead, she looked at Shanhu carefully, rubbing her chin and said, "Your physical fitness is very good, and there is a high possibility that you will pass the female soldier assessment. However, now is not the time to recruit soldiers!"
There is a fixed time for recruitment, and the recruitment of female soldiers is also very strict. Not everyone can participate.
Shanhu didn't understand any of this. She was only concerned about whether she could become a female soldier. She took Zheng Hongjuan's arm in a familiar manner, looking for advice: "When will the recruitment be held? What should I do? As long as I can become a soldier, I will definitely offer you a longevity card!"
In the fishing village, because people often go out to sea to fish, every family worships the Goddess of the Sea. They believe in these mysterious things and also worship some longevity tablets, most of which are given to people who have done good deeds and made contributions to the family.
Zheng Hongjuan obviously knew what the Changsheng Card was, and waved her hands repeatedly: "No, I'm just a kid. Besides, the recruitment period is public. Even if you're on the island, you might have to go outside to take the assessment!"
Without hiding anything, Zheng Hongjuan told Shanhu the time. The spring recruitment period this year was definitely over, but the autumn recruitment period had not yet arrived.
I just don’t know the recruitment quota for each region, which is announced on site every time.
However, there are preferential policies on the island. When the time comes, you can ask Zhan Zeye and Political Commissar Wu to recommend it. It won’t be a big problem.
When Shanhu heard that Tang Qiyue's husband could help write a letter of recommendation, her eyes lit up when she looked at Tang Qiyue.
Tang Qiyue didn't want to cause trouble for Zhan Zeye, so she quickly said, "You guys in the fishing village can definitely communicate directly with the camp. It would be bad if I got involved!"
Perhaps Shanhu's frustrated expression was too obvious, and Zheng Hongjuan beside her snorted, "Although she is Battalion Commander Zhan's wife, she is just a family member, not a soldier. Her words are meaningless!"
This made Coral realize how inappropriate her behavior just now was.
"It's still early anyway. I see it's getting late. Do you want to go fishing? Even though it's a low tide today, it's almost the 15th, so there are still a lot of good things being brought up by the sea!"
With the reminder from Coral, the mermaid, Tang Qiyue and Zheng Hongjuan were both very excited. Since there was nothing else to do anyway, Tang Qiyue carried the wooden bucket and walked towards the beach with Coral.
Zheng Hongjuan was originally following them, but she had just walked a few steps out of the yard when her little niece called her away. She said that her two brothers were fighting and their eyes were red with anger. Their parents were busy, so they could only come to find Zheng Hongjuan, their aunt.
"I really owe them. You guys go catch some seafood. I'll go back and take a look!"
Zheng Hongjuan followed her niece, and Tang Qiyue continued walking towards the beach with Shanhu.
"Sister Qiyue, why do you think women must get married?"
Shanhu is still a little girl after all. After what happened to the fisherman's wife and considering the lives of those married women in the fishing village, she doesn't know that getting married will cause her to be entangled in all kinds of troubles and she will have to endure all kinds of dislike and beatings from her husband. What is she trying to achieve?
Tang Qiyue shook her head: "No one stipulates that women must get married. I don't know what the situation is like in the fishing village, but there are many women out there who have never married in their entire lives and are living well!"
Coral was shocked. In her limited life, she didn't even know that a woman could choose not to get married.
"It's a new society now. Women and men enjoy equal rights. Many outstanding women are busy with their careers and don't have to start a family and give everything for their families! Even if life is not going as planned, you can still get a divorce!"
Tang Qiuyue said something that Shanhu had never dared to think about.
"Even in the old society, in some places in the south, there were some women with advanced ideas. They became self-combed women and never married, just living for themselves!"
These are things that Shanhu has no access to. She was shocked by what Tang Qiyue said, and also envied Tang Qiyue for knowing these things.
"Then Sister Qiyue, why did you get married? Were you also forced by your family?"
Maybe what Tang Qiyue said shocked Qiyue so much that she became curious about why Tang Qiyue got married.
"Not really, it's just that getting married is the best option for me!"
Tang Qiyue smiled and did not explain to Shanhu the reason for her marriage. After all, it was a secret that she could not tell anyone. However, it made Shanhu realize that marriage is a choice, not something that must be accomplished.
When the two arrived at the beach, the sea water had slowly begun to recede. Shanhu was grateful for what Tang Qiyue had told her, and took her around other people who came to the sea, and instead took her to the area behind the reef.
There are many reefs and hidden reefs under the sea. If it weren't for the fact that Coral is familiar with the distribution of the seabed here, most people would definitely not dare to come here.
"Sister Qiyue, there's a kind of barnacle in the crevices of these reefs. Although they're not very big, they're extremely delicious. My dad told me that in the past, big bosses would pay a lot of money to the female divers in the fishing village to pick them!"
Tang Qiuyue followed Coral and lay on the edge of the reef. Looking into the crevices of the reef, she saw something attached to the reef. It turned out to be a gooseneck barnacle.
Although Tang Qiuyue had never eaten it, she had heard of it and seen pictures of it. She knew that the growth conditions of this gooseneck barnacle were harsh, but because it tasted so delicious, many diners were willing to pay a high price to buy it.
Today, the islands are under military jurisdiction. Although the fishing villages can still catch fish and sell them normally, most of the fish are used to supply military camps. Although some rare seafood are sold in small quantities, the advantage is that it is stable and can ensure food and clothing.
As for things like gooseneck barnacles, it is better to give up collecting them because it is too dangerous.
However, the place where Shanhu brought Tang Qiuyue was within easy reach, so there was almost no danger. The only thing to do was to pay attention to the high tide time so as not to be unable to return to the shore due to high tide.
This thing is very interesting. It grows in clumps. As long as you knock a hole in it, it is easy to pull it off diagonally from the back.
The two of them caught half a bucket and also harvested two large lobsters stuck in the crevices of the reef. They avoided the main group and returned home.
Shanhu said she didn't want anything and ran back to the fishing village. She also asked Tang Qiyue to steam it and eat it herself without telling anyone.
Tang Qiyue was reluctant to give it up, as such a rare item would cost a lot of points to exchange. However, just as she put the item into the kitchen, she saw Captain Huang running towards her with an anxious look on his face.
