After Wang Meifang's death, Qiao Qingqing felt even more relieved. When Shi Lanlan and Ning Rong were in cahoots with each other, Qiao Qingqing, Yao Xiaoman and others followed Lu Heng to the opposite island.
The next day was Lantern Festival, and they came to join the army's celebration.
The performances of Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang were also reported, so as soon as they arrived, there was someone to receive them.
As for Qiao Qingqing, she followed Lu Heng for a walk in the staff quarters. After all, she couldn't go anywhere else.
The people in the family compound were very enthusiastic when they saw Qiao Qingqing. Most of them were from the north and had followed their husbands to the island. Some of them were not used to the life here.
Qiao Qingqing told them about the local customs and practices, and some interesting things about going to the beach to make them realize that going to the beach is not as difficult as they imagined.
"We have abundant marine resources here. Even if we don't have any method and just rely on luck, we can still pick up something. If we learn how to sneer, we will definitely have a great harvest..."
After imparting her experience of fishing at the sea, Qiao Qingqing told them about her experience of fishing at sea. After hearing Qiao Qingqing's description of catching a lot of seafood in one net, everyone showed a longing look.
Qiao Qingqing took the opportunity to say, "I went out to sea before, and I caught thousands of kilograms of seafood just by using that small boat. If such a large harvest was left in the army, it would probably be enough for everyone to eat for a while."
Upon hearing this, the military wives started to interrupt.
"We are all from the north and don't know how to fish. From what they say, the catch at sea is not as big as you say."
"I don't know. The captain said that going out to sea depends on luck. Maybe I'm lucky. When I went out to sea with them, the catch was bigger than usual. Later, when I was not with them, the catch was average. Fortunately, our team has enough fishing boats."
Qiao Qingqing said this in a joking tone.
With so many people present, these words will definitely reach the ears of the leaders.
The logistics department has to supply the food needed by an entire group every day. You can imagine how stressful it is.
This means that as long as Qiao Qingqing is given a chance to "show off", she has a high probability of getting the job as a sea police officer in the army.
Otherwise, we can also reach a cooperation with her and let the troops take all the harvests captured by Qiao Qingqing...
The reason for such an idea is that the spiritual spring water in Qiao Qingqing's hand is too amazing. If the fishing boat ordered by Qiao Qingqing is completed, her harvest from one trip to the sea can even exceed that of seven or eight other trips!
There is so much seafood that it is impossible to eat it all just by drying it into dried seafood or selling it on the black market.
So the only thing Qiao Qingqing could think of was to cooperate with the army. Anyway, the army's fishing technology was not mature at present, and the harvest from each trip to sea was far from meeting the needs of the army.
䀴She only needs a suitable price to provide enough food for the troops. Isn't this a win-win situation?
However, Lu Heng also told her that unless it was really difficult, the army would not do such a deal with the old man.
The army has a rule that one should not take anything from the old people. If one does business with the old people privately, it is likely to breed corruption.
Besides, food is such a critical supply that the troops are hesitant to purchase it from outside.
Self-sufficiency has always been the party's fine style. After the troops were stationed on the island, in addition to fishing, they also tried to raise pigs, chickens, ducks, and grow vegetables, sweet potatoes and other foods.
This is the responsibility of the logistics department.
However, the disadvantages are obvious. After all, there are only so many people in the logistics department. How can they possibly meet the food and living expenses of an entire regiment just by relying on their labor and farming?
Therefore, most of the food for the troops is still purchased from outside.
As for the channel, the army will not disclose it, it is considered confidential.
But once Qiao Qingqing can reach cooperation with the troops, the troops can save trouble and worry.
It would also cost less than the current method of purchasing…
The reason why Qiao Qingqing came this morning was mainly to test the leader's attitude and see if these deals were feasible.
Until the evening show started, Qiao Qingqing was in the family compound chatting with the military families here, successfully spreading the message she wanted to spread.
Then all you have to do is wait.
She couldn't control what the military leaders thought, and she couldn't be sure whether they would do what she wanted.
This also depends on luck.
It’s just that Qiao Qingqing kept a calm mind and just did her best and left the rest to fate.
During this day, Qiao Qingqing had already made friends with several military wives.
"Those two above are the female educated youth you mentioned?"
At this moment, they were gathered together to watch the performance on the stage.
This group came to the island on a mission and there was no art performance troupe accompanying them, so the programs for the activities were all performed by the soldiers and their families.
The other one was a joint performance by two brave girls, Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang, and also a joint performance by the male educated youth.
The current show is Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang: Dance!
It was such a pleasant sight to see two little girls dancing. Even at this moment, many single gay men were secretly asking about them.
When I heard that they were educated youth who had gone to the countryside from the Hongsheng Brigade in the fishing village, I liked them even more and wanted to get to know them even more.
But there are more wolves than meat, and if you want to win the beauty, you need connections.
Soon, Lu Heng was surrounded by people.
"Platoon Leader Lu, I heard that those two female educated youth are your wife's friends. Can you let your sister-in-law introduce them to me?"
"Platoon Leader Lu, I've heard of your sister-in-law's name for a long time, but I didn't expect that our first meeting would be in such an occasion...I wonder if the young woman on the left has a boyfriend? I'm also a platoon leader, do you think I have this opportunity..."
"Platoon Leader Lu, I heard that my sister-in-law is pregnant. Congratulations! Well, you see, I'm still single. I don't know the name of the young woman on the right. Does she need to find a partner?"
Lu Heng had long been warned by his wife to keep a close eye on the two female educated youth and not to introduce anyone to them casually.
Therefore, even though Lu Heng did not want to be a matchmaker, and even more so did not want to interfere in the personal affairs of other lesbians, he had to record their situations one by one at this time.
Lu Heng took out a pen and paper with an expressionless face and said only one sentence: "Get in line and tell us where you are."
Soon, a line formed in front of Lu Heng. Although it was not particularly long, the number of people was astonishing enough. Qiao Qingqing roughly counted and found that there were at least twenty people.
This made Qiao Qingqing so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. It seemed that she could choose well between these two younger sisters.
Soon, other people learned that the two female educated youth were very popular and many people asked about their whereabouts.
After Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang stepped down, they immediately found Qiao Qingqing's position.
"Come on, I've saved a seat for you two."
The way Qiao Qingqing looked at the two of them at this moment was as loving as the way she looked at her own younger generation.
It was just that the light was not good, and everyone saw this and thought that these three people had a deep friendship, but Qiao Qingqing treated them as her own children...
"Sister Qingqing, we were so nervous that we almost made the wrong move in the middle of the dance."
As soon as Yao Xiaoman came over, she squatted at Qiao Qingqing's feet and spoke in a low voice, as if she was acting coquettishly to her own sister.
Qiao Qingqing patted her head and said, "No, you and Lan Fang danced really well, everyone is praising you."
At this time, the military wives around them also praised the two young female educated youth.
Those who are able to have their families accompany them are officers above the rank of battalion commander, and there are basically no young officers above this rank.
Therefore, except for those who remarried and found young wives, all the family members who came to accompany the army were older, at least ten years older than Qiao Qingqing and the others.
Of course, no one would envy them for being young, good-looking and popular.
It was also in such an environment that the two young female educated youth, Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang, seemed so popular.
Many military wives pulled the two men aside and secretly asked them whether they had promised to marry into their own families.
Upon learning that both of them were still single girls, the military wife became eager to act as a matchmaker and began to introduce them to potential partners.
Although the two girls were mentally prepared for the performance, especially Yao Xiaoman, who almost wished she could find a soldier husband - Zhou Lanfang didn't care so much. She had to accompany Xiaoman. If she didn't come, Xiaoman would definitely not dare to go on stage alone.
But when they were surrounded by a group of military wives and asked what kind of person they liked, the two girls blushed.
Seeing them looking at her pitifully, apparently asking for help, Qiao Qingqing couldn't help but help them out with a smile.
"Sisters-in-law, let's talk about this later. Don't let it affect the performance on the stage."
A new program has begun. The military wives upstairs are singing in chorus. It would be bad if they make noise.
So they nodded and let the two female educated youth go for the time being.
Qiao Qingqing looked at the two people sweating profusely, took out a handkerchief to wipe them, and said soothingly: "Don't be afraid, the sisters-in-law are just a little enthusiastic. As for the candidates, we will slowly contact and select them. You are still young, so there is no need to rush."
Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang stood close to her, one on each side, and both agreed: "Yes!"
In the evening, after the show was over, Qiao Qingqing was about to leave the island with the educated youth, but she learned from Lu Heng that the squad leader of the logistics department wanted to see her.
Qiao Qingqing smiled in her heart. Her words spread too quickly.
This was the situation that Qiao Qingqing wanted to see, and she would not refuse, so she asked Lu Heng to arrange for the educated youth to cross the sea and return to the village.
Lu Heng said "of course", and then said: "Fu Ying has already arranged this matter, Xiao Li, you take them to find Lao Jia."
Qiao Qingqing also went to explain the situation to everyone.
The educated youth did not ask too many questions and just told Qiao Qingqing to rest assured.
Lu Heng walked to his wife's side, saluted to the group of young and enthusiastic educated youth, and then said solemnly: "Thank you for your hard work today. The leader said that he has prepared some gifts for everyone. Please follow Xiao Li and Lao Jia to receive them."
"Lao Jia" is also from the logistics department, and he is responsible for rowing the boat.
Everyone was overjoyed to learn that there were gifts to be given away.
After the educated youth followed Xiao Li away, Qiao Qingqing, led by Lu Heng, went to the logistics department of the army to meet "Squad Leader Qi".
