Li Chengxi enjoyed the food as he ate it, and after finally letting himself go for the last time, he let go of Lin Tao, who was hunched over and trembling in his arms.

"I'll go get a basin of water and clean it up."

Neither of them was wearing any clothes. Li Chengxi covered Lin Tao with a quilt and put on his own clothes. He took a flashlight, mixed a basin of warm water, and got a towel.

The towel was wet, and Li Chengxi wanted to wipe Lin Tao.

That sticky mess in there is all his fault.

Lin Tao buried her scalded face in the quilt and said in a hoarse voice, "I can do it myself..."

After the two of them cleaned up, Li Chengxi lay back on the bed, holding Lin Tao in his arms, and let out a sigh of pleasure.

They had already done the most intimate things, and Lin Tao had nothing to say about the fact that Li Chengxi slept with her upper body naked and in his arms.

Maybe it was because Li Chengxi was holding her, or maybe she was too tired from doing that, Lin Tao fell asleep quickly.

Lin Tao had a dream. There was another her in the dream. She was crying the whole time. Lin Tao could relate to the heart-wrenching feeling. She felt so miserable that she could hardly breathe.

In the dream, she said: Let’s be together again in the next life.

However, when Lin Tao woke up to the sound of a bugle call the next day, she could no longer remember what she had dreamed about. She only remembered that she had a particularly sad dream, and even though she had woken up, her heart still sank.

As usual, Li Chengxi woke up earlier than her and was no longer in bed.

Lin Tao sat on the bed in a daze for a long time, then remembered that she and Li Chengxi had to go to the food factory to buy some things later, so she quickly got out of bed and prepared to wash up.

When she was changing clothes, she found some red marks on her body. She knew without a doubt that they were left by Li Chengxi last night. She probably left quite a few marks on Li Chengxi last night...

She remembered that when the pain first started, she grabbed his back hard.

After the first step, her legs felt a little sore, but after a few more steps, the pain got better and she could bear it.

Can accommodate.

Remembering the white towel she had specially laid on the bed last night, Lin Tao quickly lifted the quilt to look for it, but found that the white towel was gone.

It was Aunt Fang who taught her to put a white towel on the bed. She said that women would bleed during their first time, and if they didn't put it on, the sheets would get dirty.

Lin Tao walked out quickly and saw that the white towel and the dirty clothes she had taken off when taking a bath yesterday were hung in the yard.

After taking a shower yesterday, she originally planned to wash her clothes directly.

But Li Chengxi said it was too late. The island was dewy at night and clothes were harder to dry. It would be better to wait until the next day to wash them.

Unexpectedly, he got up early and washed all the clothes himself.

The key point is that he not only washed the clothes, but he also washed the white towels. It would have been fine if he just washed them, but he actually left them hanging in the yard like that!

Isn't this just like telling others what the two of them did last night?

Lin Tao walked over, pulled Li Chengxi's hand, pursed her lips and asked, "Why did you leave this here? It would be so embarrassing if someone saw it."

"It's okay. This is our own yard and no one can see us." Li Chengxi comforted Lin Tao.

Just after An finished caressing Lin Tao, she heard Chen Shuifen's voice from next door: "Xiao Lin, you are so lucky to marry a good man like Captain Li, who gets up early in the morning to wash clothes. If it were my husband, he wouldn't be able to move even if you whipped him."

Li Chengxi: “…”

Lin Tao winked at Li Chengxi, implying: Look, you said no one would see you.

"Sister Chen, we are going to the grocery store to buy some things later. Do you need to bring anything?" Lin Tao tried to change the subject.

Chen Shuifen waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, I just went there yesterday."

Fortunately, Chen Shuifen didn't say much before she was called back by her eldest son's shout: "Mom, my brother has pooped again——"

When Li Chengxi got up this morning, he found the blood-stained white towel. He knew what it meant, and while Lin Tao was sleeping, he kissed her forehead again.

The little girl was exhausted last night and at the end she could only moan softly with a hoarse voice.

It was also his fault that he couldn't control himself and had sex with her several times in a row.

In fact, if he wasn't afraid that Lin Tao couldn't bear it, he could continue.

But let's leave it for later. This is the first time the little girl has tried this.

It could scare her.

He went to boarding school since junior high school and washed his own clothes. He did not have the extremely patriarchal idea that it was shameful for men to wash clothes and only women could do it. He washed his clothes very consciously when he woke up in the morning.

Wash it thoroughly.

But he did neglect the white towel.

Lin Tao took the white towel to the bedroom window to hang it up. The sun on the island was strong, so it could stay dry even if it wasn't hung in the yard.

After locking the door, Li Chengxi took the food order book and took Lin Tao to the food factory.

Not long after they walked out, Chen Shuifen's eldest son Zheng Xiangyang came to bring them steamed buns. The two buns were placed in a bowl, still steaming hot.

Zheng Xiangyang: "My mother said that you didn't have breakfast, so you should eat two buns before going to the food factory, otherwise you will be hungry on the way."

Yesterday he gave her cakes, and today he gave her buns. Lin Tao didn't know what to say. The key point was that Zheng Xiangyang was very stubborn. He would not leave if she didn't want him.

So Lin Tao and Li Chengxi each took a bun, and Lin Tao asked Zheng Xiangyang: "If you want to eat anything, you can tell Auntie, and Auntie will buy it for you."

Zheng Xiangyang looked at Lin Tao, then at Li Chengxi, turned around and ran away.

Li Chengxi: "This child..."

Lin Tao glanced at him and said, "Look, you made me a little cold last night. You even complained about us not having breakfast. You're still a nice person, right?"

Li Chengxi took a bite of the bun and said, "Yes, I was not conscious enough last night. I will reflect on it."

Lin Tao burst out laughing.

*************************

At the same time, Shen Guobin's home was in complete chaos.

Lin Hui heard from Huang Aidi yesterday that Captain Li’s family has already arrived on the island, and she also heard that they are from Xiangcheng.

Lin Hui felt that God was helping her. The two people she wanted to curry favor with were both from Xiangcheng, and it would be easier to get things done since they were from the same hometown.

She planned to go to Captain Li's home today, and was wondering what pretext to use. Now she has one.

Lin Hui selected a medium-sized piece of bacon from the ones they had brought from their hometown, wrapped it in brown paper, and slung a basket over her shoulder. She planned to go to Captain Li's house later.

But before she could clean up, Shen Jiahao started making a fuss.

"I don't want poached eggs, I want boiled eggs!"

Lin Hui now hears Shen Jiahao's voice

She was afraid. She only knew that Shen Jiahao would be the richest man in Xiangcheng in the future, with so much money that his house couldn't accommodate it. But no one told her that the richest man was so difficult to deal with when he was a child.

After following the army for three months, she was exhausted.

When Shen Guobin was around, Shen Jiahao at least didn't dare to do anything rash in front of Shen Guobin. But half a month ago, Shen Guobin went out to sea on a mission, and Shen Jiahao took advantage of Lin Hui's fear of him and wanted to turn the whole family upside down.

Either he complained that the food Lin Hui cooked was not tasty, or he said he wanted to eat this and then that.

Just like now.

Lin Hui walked over and looked at Shen Jiahao, who was looking at her with hatred, and sighed: "Jiahao, didn't you say you wanted to eat poached eggs last night?"

"Yesterday is yesterday, today is today, and today I just want to eat boiled eggs! Will you let me cook them? If you don't, I will complain to my dad when he comes back and ask him to divorce you!"

Lin Hui was so angry that her head was buzzing and her temples were throbbing. There was a dark spot under her eyes because Shen Jiahao didn't let her have a good time even when she was sleeping at night.

She thought to herself, if the other party was not the richest man in the future, and if she did not have to rely on the Shen family in the future, she really wanted to strangle Shen Jiahao to death and put an end to it all.

I thought bitterly in my heart, but I still smiled: "Okay, I'll cook for you."

After the eggs were cooked, Shen Jiahao stopped making a fuss. But when Lin Hui served the porridge, she discovered that Shen Jiahao had eaten all the boiled eggs and poached eggs, leaving none for her.

Shen Jiayi was not that hostile to her and whispered, "Stepmother, I'll give you some fried eggs."

Lin Hui smiled, but before she could say anything to praise him, she heard Shen Jiahao threatening Shen Jiayi: "Shen Jiayi, which side are you from? If you recognize this stepmother, don't call me brother!"

Shen Jiayi was so frightened that she shrank her neck and dared not speak.

After finally taking care of these children and watching Shen Jiahao taking Shen Jiayi out to play, Lin Hui finally had time to pack up and visit Captain Li's home.

As for Shen Jiaping?

She didn't care about that. She just fed him some porridge in the morning and let him play on the bed by himself. She didn't have time to take care of him all day.

It was even more impossible to ask her to carry Shen Jiaping to Captain Li's house. The small thing was so heavy. Was she stupid?

Lin Hui had good intentions in mind. She wanted to take the opportunity to improve her relationship with Captain Li's family, and then curry favor with the Yang Ai Party.

But when I got there I found the door was locked.

Chen Shuifen happened to see her standing stupidly at the door and asked, "Aren't you the family member of Deputy Battalion Commander Shen? I think your last name is Lin, right? Are you here to look for the family member of Captain Li? The couple went to the food factory. If you have anything to say, you can tell me first if it's convenient. I'll pass on a message for you when they come back."

The word "deputy" hurt Lin Hui. She looked unhappy and said "no need" and left.

Chen Shuifen looked at her from behind and muttered: "She's walking so fast, as if someone might steal her things. They both have the last name Lin, but Captain Li's family is more likable."

*************************

It takes more than half an hour to walk from the military area to the food factory. No wonder Chen Shuifen said she was worried that they would get hungry on the way. They probably couldn't stand walking back and forth on an empty stomach.

Wherever they went along the way, Li Chengxi introduced it to Lin Tao so that she could get familiar with the island as soon as possible.

Shengshan Island is surrounded by water on all sides, and there are several mountains behind the military area, so it can be said that it has both mountains and water.

When two people walk together, they will inevitably attract other people's attention.

Lin Tao was born fair, and it was fine when she was in Xiangcheng. After all, the girls in Xiangcheng were famous for their beauty. Her fairness was more prominent, but not as eye-catching as it is now.

The sun on the island was very strong, and people who lived there for a long time would inevitably get tanned, and Li Chengxi was no exception. When such a white Lin Tao arrived on the island, it seemed as if her whiteness could glow, and she was particularly eye-catching.

Lin Tao noticed that a few female soldiers not far from them were looking at her and talking about something. It wasn't that she was too narcissistic, it was still easy for her to sense such things.

Lin Tao was sure they were talking about her.

Lin Tao asked Li Chengxi: "What are they saying about me?"

Li Chengxi: "I said you are pretty."

Lin Tao glanced at Li Chengxi. Seeing that he was still serious when he said this, she felt angry and amused at the same time: "Why didn't I see that you can be so smooth-talking before?"

"This is not called smooth talk, I'm telling the truth." Li Chengxi's expression did not change. "If you don't like being seen, I have a way."

After saying that, Li Chengxi turned around and glanced at the group of female soldiers. When the female soldiers met Li Chengxi's eyes, they instantly walked away quickly, hand in hand, like mice seeing a cat.

Lin Tao found this really amazing. She approached Li Chengxi and whispered, "Are you born in the year of the tiger? They got so scared just by looking at them."

Li Chengxi smiled and said: "I have a

Do you want to hear the nickname? "

Lin Tao was very curious and asked hurriedly, "What's your nickname?"

"The Living King."

"Pfft..." Lin Tao couldn't help laughing, "Who gave this nickname? How could he get such a nickname?"

Li Chengxi saw Lin Tao's eyes curved with laughter, so he also smiled: "Because I am too fierce, I have this reputation."

Lin Tao wrinkled her nose and retorted, "How are you fierce?"

Obviously the best.

Li Chengxi: "Not fierce to you, but fierce to others."

Lin Tao: “…”

Why does my heartbeat suddenly speed up?

The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the food factory.

The non-staple food factory sells food, and other daily necessities can be bought at the supply and marketing cooperative next door.

The mountain city is located in the north, and most people here eat pasta, so the non-staple food factory imports less rice. When they came, there were only more than 30 kilograms. Lin Tao gritted her teeth and took it all.

Otherwise, she doesn’t know when the next shipment will arrive. She has just arrived in the north and has not yet adapted to a life without rice, so she has to take it slow.

In addition, Lin Tao also bought half a bag of flour and half a bag of corn flour. When she saw some dried goods for sale, she bought some dried black fungus and day lily. When she saw some eggs, she bought a few more. Finally, she went to a fish shop and bought a sea bass.

The only regret was that Lin Tao originally wanted to buy some lard to make pork fat, but unfortunately the lard was so popular that it had already been sold out.

Although the sales clerks didn't say anything when Li Chengxi and Lin Tao were still in the food factory, as soon as they left, they started talking.

"Wasn't that Captain Li from the Third Regiment?"

"It's him. Didn't they say that Captain Li of the Third Regiment is very fierce? How come you can't see that at all? He was smiling just now. Did you see that?"

"He wasn't smiling at you, he was smiling at his lover. His lover is so pretty, how come her skin is so white!"

“………………”

It has been more than half a month since the last time I made a purchase. The supply and marketing cooperative no longer has as complete a range of goods as the non-staple food factory, and many of the best-selling products have long been sold out.

Fortunately, Lin Tao still had some of the things she needed, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, bowls and chopsticks, scissors, needle and thread, vase...

Speaking of this vase, the salesperson said it was purchased a year ago. At that time, a family member wanted to buy a vase, but they didn't have it, so they bought a few the following month. As a result, more than a year has passed.

There was still one left unsold, so I sold it to Lin Tao.

Lin Tao was very satisfied with the vase and treasured it so much that she held it in her arms on the way back in the car, for fear that the bumpy ride would break the vase.

When they got home, Xiao Ning helped to move the rice and flour into the house. Lin Tao put her precious vase on the cabinet and called Xiao Ning: "Xiao Ning, I'm going to cook right now. You should stay and eat with us."

When Xiao Ning's sunburned face turned red, it looked as dark and red as Bao Gong.

He scratched his head sheepishly: "Sister-in-law, I just had a meal in the cafeteria, I'm not hungry."

Li Chengxi untied the rope hanging on the fish's mouth and prepared to kill it, saying, "Then come over next time. Your sister-in-law's cooking is delicious."

"Okay, thank you, Captain, and thank you, sister-in-law!" Xiao Ning agreed and left happily.

The newly bought dishes and chopsticks have to be soaked in boiling water before they can be used.

Li Chengxi and Lin Tao divided the work. Li Chengxi killed the fish while Lin Tao lit the fire and cooked. Before the fish was killed, she washed the rice and steamed it first. Then she took out the eggs bought today and generously beat four eggs.

This was their first home-cooked meal on the island, so it had to be good.

Heat the pot and pour in the rapeseed oil she brought from Xiangcheng. When the oil is old, pour in the beaten eggs.

She wanted to make a scallion egg, so she asked Li Chengxi to pick the scallions from Chen Shuifen's house next door. Chen Shuifen was particularly polite and even picked two eggplants for Li Chengxi to bring back.

The eggplant was left to be grilled in the evening, and the sea bass was grilled by Lin Taohong.

As soon as the dishes came out of the pot, the living room was filled with fragrance. The white rice was also steamed, and Lin Tao took out the bucket of chopped chili peppers she had brought, filled a small dish with vinegar, and ate with Li Chengxi.

The fish meat was delicious, and the sea bass had almost no bones. They ate it until only the complete fish skeleton was left, and the eggs were also eaten cleanly.

Lin Tao watched Li Chengxi add several bowls of rice in a row. Even though she was already full, she thought it was a wonderful thing to watch Li Chengxi eat.

She propped her chin on one hand and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Li Chengxi answered truthfully: "It tastes better than last time."

"Of course. The food was cold that day, and the taste changed after being heated up. It's not as delicious as when it was fresh out of the pot," Lin Tao explained.

As the two chatted, Li Chengxi mentioned the idea of ​​treating everyone to a drink. The military rule was that when a family member first arrived, they had to treat their comrades to a meal, which was also a way to introduce them to everyone.

know.

Lin Tao is a good cook, so treating everyone to a drink is no problem for her: "Then let's do it in the next two days, but I have to prepare the ingredients first."

************************

On the other hand, Lin Hui went to Captain Li's home in the morning but didn't see anyone, so she originally planned to go again in the afternoon.

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Shen Guobin, who had been out to sea for half a month, came back.

Shen Guobin looked a little tired when he came back, and there were many large mud spots on his white marine uniform. Lin Hui hadn't seen Shen Guobin for more than half a month, and she missed him a little. The main reason was that she was almost exhausted during the time when Shen Guobin was away, and she couldn't help but tear up.

But just as she took a step forward, Shen Jiahao pushed her and ran to Shen Guobin's side: "Dad, Dad, you are finally back!"

Shen Jiayi: "Dad, I miss you so much!"

Shen Guobin picked up one child in each hand, held the two children in his arms and walked into the house. He nodded to Lin Hui as a greeting.

Lin Hui bit her lip, suppressed her dissatisfaction, and followed with a smile.

Shen Guobin put the two children down and asked, "Where's your brother?"

Shen Jiahao: "My brother is sleeping."

Shen Guobin took off his dirty clothes and called Lin Hui: "Xiao Lin, please help me boil some water. I haven't taken a shower for more than ten days. My body is smelly. Wash this set of clothes and hang them up. I need to wear them tomorrow."

Lin Hui was assigned so many tasks without saying a word. She was filled with resentment, but she still listened to Shen Guobin and did what he said.

Inside the house, Shen Guobin asked Shen Jiahao: "How has your stepmother treated you during my absence?"

Shen Jiahao looked at Shen Guobin and pulled up his sleeves: "Dad, my stepmother beat me!"

Lin Hui went to boil water, and Shen Guobin's voice came from the bedroom: "Lin Hui, come here, I have something to tell you!"

Lin Hui put down the work in her hands and hurried over.

Shen Guobin sat on the bed with a stern face, the veins on his forehead jumping. He looked at Lin Hui in front of him and said through gritted teeth: "Lin Hui, I thought I told you very clearly before I married you that my only requirement for you was to take good care of my children. But I have only been away for a short time and you beat the children?! If the children did something wrong, you can say it, and Jiahao has been sensible since he was a child. What did he do wrong that made you beat him like this?!"

Lin Hui was stunned. She looked at the furious Shen Guobin at a loss and tried to explain herself weakly: "I didn't hit the child..."

Shen Guobin:

I saw it with my own eyes, and you still don’t admit it? Jiahao, roll up your sleeves! "

Shen Jiahao rolled up his sleeves, revealing the wounds on his body, which were bruised and purple, and there were quite a few of them.

"I didn't hit him, I really didn't hit him! Guobin, believe me, how could I hit Jiahao? Can't you see how good I am to him? I almost took out my heart and gave it to him!" Lin Hui almost died unjustly.

"Could it be that a child as young as Jiahao would deliberately wrongly accuse you?!"

Lin Hui was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She felt that she couldn't explain herself. She could only ask for help from Shen Jiayi, who was usually nice to her: "Jiayi, tell your father, did I hit your brother?"

Shen Jiayi looked at Shen Jiahao, then at Lin Hui, and finally at Shen Guobin, and burst into tears: "Brother, mom said we can't lie. Stepmother didn't hit you. You fought with others. I saw it all, wuwuwuwu..."

The truth is out.

Lin Hui lay on the bed and cried: "I was well fed and well served, but you still wrongly accused me of beating someone. I can't live like this anymore. I want to go back, I want to go back to Xiangcheng——"

But it was too late to say anything. She had tried her best to snatch the marriage that belonged to Lin Tao, thinking that she would be waiting for a good life, but she didn't expect that it would be so hard to wait for a good life. Now that she had married Shen Guobin and lost her virginity, even if she returned to Xiangcheng, she would be second-hand goods, and no one would want her.

She just said this on purpose for Shen Guobin to hear.

The older one cried, and the younger one cried too. Shen Guobin grabbed Shen Jiahao, who was standing next to him with a stubborn look on his face, took off his pants and beat him severely.

Shen Jiahao was stubborn and said nothing.

After taking care of Shen Jiahao, Shen Guobin looked at the tearful Lin Hui with a serious face: "Okay, Xiaolin, I have taken care of the child. You too, you cried and wanted to go back after such a small setback, you don't act like a mother at all, their biological mother has never been like this. If you really can't stand it, you shouldn't have married me in the first place."

Lin Hui stopped crying: "I feel uncomfortable because you don't believe me at all. You believe everything your son says. I work so hard and even though I don't get any credit, I still feel bad for it."

"Yes, I was wrong about this. I'll let Shen Jiahao apologize to you." Shen Guobin shouted, "Shen Jiahao, let me in."

Shen Jiahao came in with a cold face and said nothing.

"Apologize." Shen Guobin kicked him. "You little bastard, I asked you to apologize, did you hear me?"

Lin Hui met Shen Jiahao's hateful eyes and shuddered in her heart: "Guobin, look at you, how can you hit a child like this? It's okay as long as the child knows he's wrong, and it's okay if he doesn't apologize."

Shen Jiahao: "Dad, she said there's no need to apologize."

Shen Guobin: "That's because your stepmother loves you. You have to recognize your own mistakes and never make the same mistake again!"

Shen Jiahao didn't say anything, but when he left, he said that Lin Hui was pretending to be kind.

After Shen Jiahao left, Lin Hui told Shen Guobin that Captain Li's family had arrived.

"Huang Aidi told me that Captain Li's family is also from Xiangcheng. I plan to get to know her when the time comes, in case I can help your career. She just arrived, so won't she have to treat us to a drink in two days? You can go too then."

Although Li Chengxi was Shen Guobin's leader, to be honest, Shen Guobin was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Chengxi. Li Chengxi was two or three years younger than him, but because he graduated from a military academy, he was promoted faster than him.

Actually, he has more military experience than Li Chengxi, but he doesn't think he is inferior to Li Chengxi in any way!

Just when he was about to say no, he heard Lin Hui continue to say, "It seems that your commander has been getting close to Commander Li recently. His wife even went to give them something. It seems that they have a pretty good relationship. Maybe the commander will go there one day. We are all from Xiangcheng, and we should give our fellow countrymen some face. There is no harm in getting closer to them, don't you think?"

According to his age and military service, he should have been promoted to the rank of regular battalion commander two years ago. However, the quota for promotion to the rank of regular battalion commander was given to Wang Yuanliang, who joined the army later than him and was three years younger than him, last year. Shen Guobin was very dissatisfied.

After hearing what Master Qi said, Shen Guobin changed his mind: "Okay, we'll see what happens when the time comes."
