Chapter 193 Island
There were a lot of things, after all, Song Wei had brought all the bedding from home.
Including food, drinks, small items like hot water bottles, and spare clothes, there were several large packages in total.
This moving-like scene immediately attracted the attention of many people.
At the port dock, Lin Zhen, who had been a soldier himself, could easily recognize other soldiers.
The troops here are stationed on an island, so they will naturally come here by boat to buy things. There are even special boats that go back and forth every day to take the military wives back and forth.
Lin Zhen looks like a rough and rude man, but he is actually quite careful.
He spotted a boat and asked Song Wei to wait there while he walked over there with his long legs.
Song Wei and Heidan, the two wolf cubs, guarded the package and pretended not to notice the gazes of the people around them.
"How is it, are you still dizzy?"
After giving Heidan some water, the little guy's face turned a little pale and he wanted to vomit but held it back.
Heidan shook his head: "Better."
It’s not that I’m motion sickness. The first two days were fine, but the closer we got to the south, the more uncomfortable I felt.
I guess it's just that the climate and environment aren't working for me.
After stuffing an orange candy into Heidan's mouth, he finally stopped wanting to vomit.
On the other side, after Lin Zhen explained the situation clearly, several military wives on the boat were immediately surprised.
"Are you Captain Song's relative?"
"Oh, so you are here to visit relatives."
"Then you have found the right person. Our ship is heading to the island."
Lin Zhen pointed at Song Wei's luggage and said, "Sisters, are there any other boats going to the island? We have a lot of stuff."
"Yes, yes, I'll take you there."
The person who spoke was a very enthusiastic sister-in-law, who immediately came to Song Wei with Lin Zhen.
"Oh, this thing is really big. Let me help you get it. The boat is over there."
Lin Zhen introduced Song Wei: "This is Aunt Lian."
Song Wei greeted the aunt obediently: "Hello, Aunt Lian."
"Okay, okay, okay... I heard from this comrade that you are Captain Song's sister. Oh, you two are really more beautiful than each other."
"Thank you for the compliment, Auntie. Is my brother on the island now? We came here without notifying him and wanted to give him a surprise."
"Yes, they are all training on the island now. You guys came just in time."
"There are so many things, I can't take them all in one trip."
Song Wei: "It's okay, Aunt Lian, leave it alone, I'll do it myself."
As she spoke, she had already easily picked up the largest package and hung it diagonally on her shoulder. It looked like a huge turtle shell.
This was not the end. Under Aunt Lian’s stunned gaze, she picked up a large package in each hand.
Lin Zhen was also carrying two large packages, and they had almost taken everything.
Song Wei showed Aunt Lian a very bright smile: "Aunt Lian, I won't bother you with these things. I just want you to help keep an eye on the child and don't let him get lost."
In fact, Heidan is very well behaved. He just grabs a corner of the package and follows them closely without anyone watching him.
Aunt Lian nodded blankly.
After taking two steps, he realized: "Girl, you are really strong, isn't it heavy?"
Song Wei: "It's okay. The bag at the back contains mostly quilts and other things. It looks a lot but it's actually not that heavy."
"How can this not be heavy? The quilt is heavy too!"
But seeing Song Wei's relaxed look, she didn't look like someone trying to show off at all. She looked at Lin Zhen again.
No wonder they brought so many things, it turns out these two are quite strong.
Once on the boat, their belongings alone took up quite a bit of space.
After all, this ship is not too big.
Aunt Lian sat with them and talked about things on the island.
"Captain Song has no family members accompanying him. He also lives in the dormitory in the army. You can either stay in a guesthouse or rent a house for the time being. The guesthouse is definitely cheaper. Renting a house is more expensive but also more convenient."
Song Wei immediately asked: "Aunt, do you know where to rent a house? We don't want a big one, just two rooms."
"Then I, your aunt, really know..."
Aunt Lian immediately introduced enthusiastically: "I'll take you to see it when we get there. Do you want to go see Captain Song first or go see the house?"
Song Wei: "Let's look at houses first. It's too much trouble for us to go to my brother with all the stuff we brought."
"Okay, it only takes half an hour for our boat to reach the island, so it won't take long."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Song Wei chatted with her aunt skillfully. She was familiar with this and all the aunties in the village had a good relationship with her.
She also enthusiastically took out a handful of roasted pine nuts and stuffed them into Aunt Lian's hand.
"These are the pine nuts from the mountains over there. We picked them up and fried them ourselves. There aren't many pine nuts in them, but they taste pretty good."
Aunt Lian smiled happily: "This is a rare commodity. We can only see it during the Chinese New Year here. It's not as big as this one. It's very expensive. It smells delicious."
When Song Wei heard this, an idea popped into his mind.
Now that supplies are scarce, things like nuts are far less diverse and less abundant in quantity than they were in later generations.
The main reason is that business is not very free nowadays, and the sales of things like nuts are not on a large scale.
But she knew how rich the resources were in the mountains behind the Ping'an Brigade. The pine cones were exceptionally large, and the pine nuts were also very large, comparable to melon seeds.
It would be a shame if we just keep such good natural conditions without knowing how to use them.
This incident went around in her mind and she remembered it.
She continued to talk to Aunt Lian and learned a lot about her brother from her.
For example...her brother is particularly attractive to men.
There are girls who like military doctors in the army's art troupe.
Who made him so good-looking and capable?
Song Wei was amazed when he heard this, thinking that his brother had the potential to be the male lead.
"We're here. Let's go. I'll take you to see the houses now. I know there are several families on this island who rent out their houses. But the ones I'll take you to are the more honest ones."
The last sentence was said by Aunt Lian in a whisper.
Song Wei nodded to show that she understood.
The island is very big, and the people living on it are all fishermen who originally belonged to the island.
Later, troops moved in and helped to build and transform the environment on the island, and the fishermen's living conditions gradually improved.
Song Wei and Lin Zhen looked at three houses and finally chose to rent the third one.
"You really chose this place. This place is quite far away and a bit dangerous."
Song smiled and said, "You can see that we have two dogs with us. It's not safe to live in a crowded place. What if we scare people? Although this place is remote, it's bigger. My two dogs can run around. And it's not too far from the beach. Aunt Lian can go to the beach, right?"
"Yes, why not?"
The policies have become more and more relaxed in recent years, and the control at the seaside is not as strict as on land.
"As long as you can find them, and have the ability to catch them, all the fish in the sea are yours."
