The incident of children running around is not without its positive aspects.
What made everyone very happy was that this incident seemed to have a great impact on Fu Yunfang, and she actually began to react to people and things in the outside world.
The most obvious sign is that she no longer stays in the house from morning till night and refuses to come out.
Sometimes she doesn't even need anyone to come in and call her; she'll quietly walk out of the house on her own.
After leaving the kitchen, Fu Yunfang usually doesn't go anywhere else. She always stays in the kitchen, quietly watching her two daughters-in-law busy themselves.
Sometimes when Shiyue or Liang Yueming prepares vegetables for her, she will try to pick them out herself, albeit very slowly.
No one cared about her speed; everyone was already satisfied with her awareness and pursuit of the outside world.
Now, it's not just He Siyi anymore; anyone in the family will go to talk to Fu Yunfang whenever they have free time, and sometimes they'll even take her out for a stroll when it's not too hot in the morning or evening.
Shiyue took her to the stream.
Then she discovered that her mother-in-law was acting like a child, showing great interest in the pebbles in the water!
When she goes out, the old lady always remembers to bring a small bucket, and she often comes back with half a bucket of small stones.
This change made the whole family very happy.
He Siyi, in particular, even set aside a wooden basin and placed it in the corner of the yard, filling it with water, just to hold the stones his wife had collected.
The old man cheerfully announced that once the wooden basin was full of stones, he would personally pave a pebble path in the yard.
His words made the whole family look forward to it.
The anticipation for October is even greater.
She even felt that there was hope of unlocking the wooden box in her space!
The ship carrying the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Iron Battalion arrived one evening a week later.
More than ten people came with the officers and soldiers.
Among these dozen or so people were Battalion Commander Wu He's wife, Mei Ying, and their ten-year-old son, Wu Xiaofei. There were also two other military doctors and nurses assigned to the island's health center.
Besides the five of them, the rest were the second batch of experts and staff who went to the island.
Among these experts was a couple in their forties, who were said to be engineers specializing in physics.
In addition, there were two elderly experts with gray hair, dressed in military uniforms, each accompanied by two students who were also soldiers.
I heard they came from a military academy in Beijing.
These experts and their assistants all chose houses located on the outer edges, probably because they were too lazy to go inside.
Mei Ying, along with her son, chose a house next to Cui Yun's, becoming her neighbors.
In this way, Shiyue and the others became neighbors living in adjacent houses.
Although it was their first time meeting Mei Ying, Shi Yue and the others were already old acquaintances with Battalion Commander Wu He.
When Cui Yun arrived on the island, the He family hosted a welcome dinner for her. So, there was no reason for Mei Ying to show favoritism; a welcome dinner was definitely in order as well.
Like Qi Feng before him, Wu He also failed to return for their gathering this time, turning the welcome banquet into a family reunion.
Shi Yue and the others were not familiar with Mei Ying, but Cui Yun had a pretty good relationship with her.
Mei Ying had visited her family in the camp before, but she spent a lot of time with Cui Yun.
Moreover, given Cui Yun's personality, it would be difficult for anyone not to get to know her.
Through their conversation, Shiyue learned that Meiying was actually an attending physician in a big city, and a very experienced surgeon who could perform operations.
Unlike Shiyue and the others, Meiying came to the island this time because the military made a special effort to persuade her to come to Haijing Island as a resident doctor.
Mei Ying was specially recruited into the army for this purpose, and now she is a proud officer of the People's Liberation Army!
"This is wonderful! We won't be afraid of any illnesses anymore." Cui Yun was the first to exclaim upon hearing the news.
The fever her son Hu Zi had a while ago really terrified Cui Yun.
At that time, the island's health clinic had not yet been built; there was only one medic who had come with the army.
Cui Yun was so nervous that she was practically praying to the gods, only thinking that her son must pull through this ordeal and not get seriously ill.
After all, if you get seriously ill, it will be very troublesome to leave the island.
Mei Ying smiled and didn't say much, but simply picked up a piece of steamed fish with her chopsticks and put it into her silent son's bowl.
Mei Ying didn't seem to have much resistance to coming to the island.
After all, her husband is here.
If she didn't want to live apart from her husband for many years, joining him in military service would be the best option.
Moreover, this wasn't just accompanying the military; it was a special recruitment, and some were even directly transferred to officer positions.
But Mei Ying also had a worry: their son, Xiao Fei.
At this time, schools in the city had already resumed classes.
Although the school is still in a state of chaos, the teachers are still there, and if you really want to learn, you can still learn something.
But there is no school on Whale Island.
What will happen to my son's schooling in the future?
This is a big problem.
But since she was already there, Mei Ying didn't want to think about it anymore. She figured she could just teach them herself first.
She felt that with her abilities, teaching a ten-year-old child shouldn't be a problem.
We'll talk about it when we're older.
The other three children sitting around the table were whispering among themselves while staring at Wu Xiaofei.
Children at this age have the strongest tendency to admire those who are older than them; they usually enjoy playing with older children.
So when they saw a little boy arrive, the three little ones were very happy.
Unfortunately, this young man clearly didn't seem interested in them at all, not even glancing at them.
Shiyue didn't care about what the children thought; to be honest, she was deeply shocked today!
She has been on the island for quite some time now, and she thinks she has explored most of it.
But Shiyue only found out today that the mountain on Whale Island had almost been hollowed out by the engineering corps!
She used to spend every day on a large, man-made warehouse!
If it weren't for the fact that, in addition to experts and staff, there were several ships transporting equipment that accompanied the Sixth Iron Battalion this time...
If it weren't for the soldiers pushing and pulling all the large equipment transported from the ships into the mountainside along their newly opened road—
Shi Yue had no idea that Whale Island itself was about to become a giant warehouse!
After the men from the Sixth Iron Battalion arrived on the island, the harbor on the island saw a constant flow of people for about a week.
Supply ships and transport ships came and went constantly, and no one knew exactly how many ships came or how many trips they made.
Various instruments, equipment, supplies, building materials...
Anyway, after a whole week of fussing, Shiyue still hadn't seen those people fill up the warehouse!
