Lin Tao is good at making clothes. She makes clothes quickly and well.

After the clothes were made, they were washed immediately. The sun on the island was strong, so they dried in the afternoon. Before dusk, Lin Tao put away the clothes and went to make dinner.

Today we had fish head tofu soup, stir-fried shredded radish and salad.

The fish head and tofu were bought from the food factory, and the lettuce was sent by Chen Shuifen.

The vegetables planted by Chen Shuifen's family have grown in clusters recently. Not to mention that there are only four people in their family, even if there were ten people, they would not be able to finish eating all the vegetables every day.

So Lin Tao, who had been unable to eat the vegetables at home because they had not grown well yet, now had vegetables to eat.

Chen Shuifen sent Lin Tao something today, which made her feel embarrassed. She also took out some pickled beans and shredded radish and sent them to her.

She was good at pickling pickled cabbage, and Chen Shuifen gave her a thumbs up and praised her the first time she ate it. She also said that after eating the pickled cabbage, Zheng Youde ate one more steamed bun than usual, and Zheng Xiangyang also ate half an extra steamed bun.

Lin Tao then said that the radishes and beans at home had grown, and she pickled some for her.

Back to today's salad, the leaves were tender and crisp. Lin Tao washed them clean and picked a piece and put it in her mouth. It tasted a little sweet.

It is very simple to make salad. Wash the lettuce and set aside. Then pick out six or seven dried chilies and cut them into dices. Crush some garlic and put them together with the dried chilies. Boil some hot oil and pour it into the chilies and garlic. It will make a sizzling sound.

Add a little salt, vinegar and soy sauce, and the sauce is ready.

Pour it into the cleaned lettuce, mix it carefully with chopsticks, and it is done. The taste is very good, the texture is crispy and refreshing, and it is the best to eat this in the summer.

Li Chengxi came back for dinner. Today, the family had steamed ten steamed buns.

Lin Tao made the steamed buns herself, as she thought the steamed buns in the army canteen were too dry and choking if not eaten with water. The steamed buns she made were soft and slightly sweet when steamed, much tastier than the ones in the army canteen.

Li Chengxi really likes the steamed buns she makes and can eat five or six each time.

Li Chengxi came back, washed his hands and went to eat. He saw a plate of lettuce on the table and joked with a smile: "We are out of firewood?"

Otherwise, why would you leave a plate of lettuce and eat it directly without frying it?

Lin Tao took off her apron and sat down at the dining table. After hearing what Li Chengxi said, she pouted and said:

"This is salad salad. It's delicious. Come and try it."

As he said this, he picked up a piece of the tenderest cabbage and put it into Li Chengxi's bowl.

It was the first time for Li Chengxi to eat 'Cold Lettuce', but his wife served it to him, and he was very confident in Lin Tao's cooking skills, so he opened his mouth and started eating.

Unexpectedly, he became addicted to it and in the end, he ate most of the whole plate of salad.

I even ate one more steamed bun than usual.

Lin Tao couldn't help laughing, and a little proud looked on her face: "How is it, it tastes good, right? Is it better than stir-frying?"

"That's quite good." Li Chengxi did not hesitate to praise.

Lin Tao smiled happily after hearing this.

Because of the incident when she encountered a Shanghai cockroach while taking a walk last time, Lin Tao felt a little traumatized and didn't dare to go there again for several days.

After Li Chengxi finished washing the dishes, the two of them took a short walk in the yard to digest the food, and sat for a while to enjoy the cool air, but then the weather got dark.

As the weather gets dark, there are more mosquitoes outside, and even fumigating with mugwort is useless.

Li Chengxi and Lin Tao simply went into the house and closed the door. The mosquitoes were blocked outside and could not come in.

The house is brightly lit, and the dark yellow light makes the home warm. This is the little world of Lin Tao and Li Chengxi.

The two went to take a shower, and Lin Tao took out the new clothes she had made today and asked Li Chengxi to try them on.

Two pieces of clothing, the short-sleeved shirt fits perfectly, but the vest seems a little small.

When worn on Li Chengxi, it stuck to his chest, revealing his upper body. Li Chengxi was definitely the type who looked thin when dressed, but had flesh when undressed. When he usually wore a thick military uniform, Lin Tao only felt that he had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. In addition, his facial features were strong, and there was no extra flesh on his face, so he looked thin.

But every time the two of them took off their clothes and hugged each other, Lin Tao felt that Li Chengxi was not as thin as she had thought before.

Like now, he looks very strong, no wonder she always gets backache every time.

Lin Tao didn't expect that she could come up with so many ideas just by looking at Li Chengxi wearing a vest. She felt so regretful that she was full of lust. When did her thoughts become so wandering?

She turned her eyes away and said to Li Chengxi, "Short-sleeved shirts are perfect for you. This vest seems a little small."

If clothes are too big, you can make them smaller, but if they are too small, it will be difficult to alter them.

It can be changed, but the changed version won’t look good.

Li Chengxi said, "It's okay. I'm just wearing it at home anyway. It's okay if it's a little smaller."

As he spoke, he noticed the other two small clothes Lin Tao had made. His eyes fell on Lin Tao and he asked, "Are these the new clothes you made today? Try them on."

She made two small pieces of clothing. Lin Tao knew her own size, but she had never tried them on after she had finished them.

When Li Chengxi said this, she thought to herself, why not give it a try?

But before trying, he said to Li Chengxi: "Then turn around first."

Although the two had been married for more than a month, they had done that countless times, and Lin Tao had also been wrapped in Li Chengxi's arms after she had taken off all her clothes. However, the lights were off at the time, and she was in a state of passion, so she let Li Chengxi do what he wanted.

Now that the lights were on, Lin Tao felt embarrassed to spend all her money trying on clothes in front of Li Chengxi.

Fortunately, Li Chengxi listened to her. After Lin Tao said this, he turned his back obediently.

Lin Tao started to change her clothes. She had more experience in making clothes for herself, so the clothes she made were neither too big nor too small, just the right size.

This cotton cloth bought from Shanghai is of very good quality. It is breathable and comfortable to wear.

Lin Tao was just about to take off her undershirt and put on her pajamas, but unexpectedly a pair of slender and strong arms stretched out from behind her and hugged her into his arms.

Lin Tao cried out softly, put her hand on Li Chengxi's chest, and accused him in a low voice: "How can you lead troops to fight if you are so untrustworthy? If... well..."

Before he could finish his words, he was kissed by two slightly cold lips.

After Li Chengxi kissed Lin Tao, he pressed on her and looked down at her. Seeing that her soft lips had turned red from his kiss, he reached out and gently pinched the tip of her nose.

He buried his head in her snow-white neck and said, "Working with your wife is not like leading troops to war."

When he spoke, his warm breath sprayed on Lin Tao's ears, and Lin Tao's whole body softened. Her ears were very sensitive, and every time Li Chengxi spoke into her ears, she would soften uncontrollably, with watery eyes.

Li Chengxi had already understood this point of hers, and seeing her like this, he deliberately sucked her soft earlobe.

In the past, the two of them always waited until the lights were turned off before starting to do this. This was the first time they started before the lights were turned off like today.

Fortunately, Lin Tao made the curtains this afternoon, and Li Chengxi also installed them after dinner in the evening, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing.

During this time, Lin Tao kept gritting her teeth

I suppressed my voice, afraid that I would shout out.

But the more afraid I am, the stronger the feeling of excitement becomes.

She was afraid again, and finally opened her mouth and bit Lin Chengxi's shoulder.

Until the end, Lin Tao lay on the bed without any strength left.

Li Chengxi brought water to clean her up, but she didn't care about the embarrassment and closed her eyes, allowing Li Chengxi to wipe her with a towel.

Li Chengxi's movements were very gentle, for fear of hurting her.

After cleaning up, Li Chengxi got on the bed and wanted to hug Lin Tao like before. But she turned her back on him and ignored him.

He was told not to look at it, but he not only looked at it, he also did other things.

The two of them had a good relationship, and usually Li Chengxi would pester Lin Tao to come over once every one or two days. But every time he did it after the lights were turned off, but today, the lights were not even turned off, and he just started without caring about anything, not afraid of being overheard. How embarrassing!

And she almost screamed out several times just now...

Their house is so close to Chen Shuifen's house. If they were heard, she would never go to see Chen Shuifen again.

Seeing Lin Tao like this, Li Chengxi touched his nose, knowing that his wife was annoyed with him for not knowing the seriousness of the matter, but he really couldn't help it.

So he went over to assure Lin Tao that next time he wanted to do this, he would wait until the lights were turned off.

This made Lin Tao blush and glare at him.

Li Chengxi chuckled, holding Lin Tao with one hand and stroking her soft hair with the other, and said, "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to learn English? Do you want to learn English now?"

Lin Tao immediately became interested and put the little setback behind her. She turned around and looked at Li Chengxi with sparkling eyes and a happy tone: "What?"

As soon as I asked, I heard Li Chengxi deliberately slow down his tone and said word by word: "I love you."

“I——love——you——” Lin Tao read it aloud after listening to it. She had a strong language ability and she could read it very standardly after just listening once.

But I don't understand what this means.

He asked Li Chengxi with some confusion: "What does this mean?"

Li Chengxi said seriously, "I love you."

Lin Tao was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what Li Chengxi meant.

She blushed and then said, "Me too."

Lin Tao was not angry with Li Chengxi at first, but she was embarrassed and worried that someone would hear what they were doing.

That’s it.

At this moment, the two of them hugged each other, and Lin Tao hurried to look at the teeth marks on Li Chengxi's shoulder.

Fortunately, even at that time, she still had some sense of propriety and didn't bite Li Chengxi too hard. Now there was only a shallow layer of teeth marks on Li Chengxi's shoulder, which should disappear soon.

Lin Tao asked Li Chengxi if it hurt, and he hugged her and said no.

"Chengxi, you know, sometimes when I wake up in the morning I wonder if this day is real. Why do I feel that my happiness is a little unreal? I'm really afraid that one day when I wake up, there will be nothing left." Lin Tao was held in Li Chengxi's arms, and her cheek rubbed against Li Chengxi's chin.

Sometimes she would have nightmares that made her feel very sad. Although she could not remember the things in the dreams clearly every time she woke up, the pain in her heart, like a sharp knife, was real.

Sometimes she would get scared, afraid that this was a warning from God, and that her happy days would disappear in a flash.

Li Chengxi's beard grows very fast, and he has to shave every morning, otherwise fine and dense green stubble will grow on his chin.

Lin Tao likes to rub his chin with her cheeks. It feels a bit rough, but it doesn't hurt and it's quite interesting.

In order not to hurt Lin Tao, Li Chengxi shaved every morning and sometimes checked his beard to see if it had grown longer when he came back at night.

Hearing Lin Tao's sigh, Li Chengxi kissed her cheek and said in a low voice: "Don't think too much, this is all so real that it couldn't be more real."

His arms tightly wrapped around Lin Tao's slender waist and kissed her fragrant hair.

They will be together forever.

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

Within two days, Lin Hui was called in for a talk by the Yang Ai Party.

Lin Hui didn't know what happened, and thought Yang Ai Dang was looking for her because of the last time he sent her bacon. She secretly cursed Yang Ai Dang in her heart, saying that he was just a lousy director, but he liked to be on the line more than her teacher Qi.

Commander Qi hasn't said anything yet, but she likes to show off.

But when she arrived, Lin Hui found that Huang Aidi was also there, and this time Yang Aidang was not going to talk about the last incident of the bacon.

It's about the 'coffin'.

It turned out that after Huang Aidi heard about Lin Tao's "coffin" from Lin Hui, she went home and told her husband Ma Debiao about it.

But Ma Debiao was not interested in the matter at all and even scolded her.

Besides Ma Debiao, the only one left in the family was Ma Xiaoying, the daughter of Ma Debiao's first wife, who was only eight years old this year. Huang Aidi didn't like little girls, not to mention that this little girl didn't come out of her belly. She seldom talked to Ma Xiaoying except asking her to do some work.

So Huang Aidi turned her attention to their neighbor Mrs. Ding. After two days, she couldn't hold it in any longer, so she grabbed a handful of melon seeds and went to Mrs. Ding's house and told her what happened.

He also told Mrs. Ding to stay away from Lin Tao, otherwise she would be easily deceived and have bad luck.

Mrs. Ding looked unhappy at the time. As soon as Huang Aidi left, she went to Yang Ai's party and reported Huang Aidi.

What coffin? She doesn't believe that.

She knew that since Lin Tao became her son's Chinese teacher, her son has become more interested in studying. He used to throw his schoolbag and go out to play after school, but now he reads when he comes home.

Huang Aidi asked her to stay away from Lin Tao? She said Lin Tao would bring her bad luck?

She thought she should stay away from people like Huang Aidi who always gossip!

As soon as Mrs. Ding left, Yang Aidang called Huang Aidi over.

With just a casual question, you can tell who said the word "coffin".

Lin Hui was not a fool. When she saw Huang Aidi was there, she understood why Yang Aidang had asked her to come over. She couldn't help but scold Huang Aidi for being an idiot.

Yang Ai-dang educated the two people with a serious expression: "Your men are soldiers of our China. As military families, you are not ordinary country women. You must also have a sense of organization and discipline. Before you do anything, think about the impact it will have."

"The Chairman has said that we must overthrow all monsters and demons, and feudal superstition is unacceptable. Let's stop here before too many people know about today's matter. If I hear a word about feudal superstition in the future, I will let the organization handle it. Each of you write a 600-word self-criticism, and read it in front of me after you finish writing it."

After saying this, Yang Ai Dang left.

Lin Hui and Huang Aidi were left alone. Lin Hui felt aggrieved and felt that she was implicated by Huang Aidi. But she was also afraid of the influence of Yang Ai Dang's words. If it affected Shen Guobin, it would be bad.

She could only write a self-criticism, but after writing a few words, Huang Aidi came over and asked, "Lin Hui, how do I write this self-criticism?"

? "

Lin Hui rolled her eyes: "Just write that you promise not to do it again."

Huang Aidi rubbed her forehead and said, "I can only write my name..."

Lin Hui: “…”

In the end, Lin Hui did not write a self-criticism for Huang Aidi, but after Yang Aidang learned about the situation, he asked Huang Aidi to change it to an oral self-criticism.

When they went out, they both looked like sick chickens.

Seeing that Lin Hui walked away quickly and ignored her, Huang Aidi chased after her and said that she did not intentionally give her away. When Director Yang asked her, she hesitated and did not say Lin Hui's name, and she didn't know how Director Yang knew Lin Hui.

Lin Hui thought about it and let it go. In fact, anyone with a little bit of common sense could guess that it was her who said it.

After all, on this island, besides Li Chengxi, she was the only one who knew about Lin Tao's past.

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

Not long after Lin Hui and Huang Aidi finished writing their self-criticisms, Chen Shuifen learned about it. The reason was that Ding Saozi also knew Chen Shuifen, and she couldn't tell Lin Tao about it, so she told Chen Shuifen.

It just so happened that the sour leeks that Lin Tao had helped pickle were ready to eat, so Chen Shuifen gave Lin Tao a lot of them and also sent over some sun-dried eggplants.

Lin Tao was preparing lessons for tomorrow. When she saw Chen Shuifen coming, she packed up her things and asked her to come in and sit down.

Then I heard Chen Shuifen talking about how Lin Hui and Huang Aidi were punished by the Yang Ai Party to write self-criticisms because they said bad things about her.

"You're right. If they tell others about this, they will be in trouble. Director Yang has severely warned them this time. Let's see if they dare to do it again next time." Chen Shuifen laughed as she spoke. "The funniest thing is that when Director Yang asked Huang Aidi to write a self-criticism, she couldn't write a single word."

Lin Tao didn't expect that something like this would happen while she was preparing for class at home.

However, she really didn't care much about Lin Hui's affairs. Whether Lin Hui was doing well or not, she didn't care at all when she heard it.

However, seeing that Chen Shuifen was quite interested, she also echoed her words.

In the afternoon, she took out the rice wine brewed a few days ago. The rice wine could be drunk this morning, but it did not need to be iced. So Lin Tao put some cool water in the basin and placed the jar containing the rice wine in the basin.

After a few hours of drying, the rice wine will be completely cooled.

This rice wine is made from glutinous rice, and the yeast used to make the rice wine was brought from Xiangcheng by her.

When she was at home, she would start making rice wine every season.

.

The rice wine she made was fragrant and sweet, and every time her father came home from get off work, he would drink a big bowl of it first, which would dispel the heat from a day's work.

Lin Tao drank a small bowl of rice wine and couldn't help but think of her father again.

If I calculate the date of the letter I sent before, my father should have received it. I don’t know if he has replied. But if he happens to be out for a long trip, I will have to wait a while before I can see the letter I wrote.

After a while, Lin Tao served a large bowl to Chen Shuifen.

Lin Tao knocked on the door. The gate was not locked, so Chen Shuifen let her in directly from inside the house.

"Sister, I made some rice wine a few days ago. It's ready to drink today, so I gave some to you to try." Lin Tao said with a smile.

Chen Shuifen quickly put down her work and took the bowl from Lin Tao: "Teacher Lin, you can also make rice wine? You are really clever."

Lin Tao: “It’s not a problem.”

Chen Shuifen took the bowl and tried to drink it. Zheng Xiangyang next to her looked at her with envy and said, "Mom, I want to drink it too."

Chen Shuifen scolded him: "You are just a kid, why are you drinking? Have you finished the assignment the teacher gave you yesterday? Tomorrow is Monday. If you don't finish it quickly, how are you going to go to school tomorrow?"

Zheng Xiangyang pursed his lips.

Lin Tao said, "Sister, I only added a little bit of wine. It should be fine if Xiangyang drinks a little. Let him drink a little and try it."

Chen Shuifen tried taking a sip first and found that there was indeed no taste of alcohol, so she took a small bowl and gave one to Zheng Xiangyang.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Hongxing beside her woke up and looked at her eagerly.

Chen Shuifen was amused and slapped Zheng Hongxing on the buttocks: "You are too young, I can't give you a drink."

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

It was already noon when Lin Hui finished writing the self-review, so she went back and started preparing lunch.

After preparing lunch, Lin Hui went out to call Shen Jiahao and Shen Jiayi to come back for lunch.

Shen Jiahao is over five years old this year. According to Shen Guobin, he plans to send him to elementary school next year.

He grew up on the island since he was a child. His previous mother gave birth to him here, so he was very familiar with the island. He usually took Shen Jiayi out to play after breakfast. Every day at noon, Lin Hui had to call them and they would come back for lunch.

But when she arrived at the house that Shen Jiahao and Shen Jiayi often visited, she was told that the two of them had never been there to play today.

Lin Hui found it strange and could only go out to look for them.

A relative told her that he seemed to have seen them going towards the beach.

Lin Hui suddenly felt a little flustered and quickened her pace to walk towards that direction. Halfway through, she saw a small figure in front of her, it was Shen Jiayi.

Shen Jiayi wiped her tears while running, and she cried even harder when she saw Lin Hui: "Stepmother, my brother fell into the sea!"

When Lin Hui heard this, she was so scared that her soul almost flew away.

She didn't care about Shen Jiayi, and rushed to the place where Shen Jiayi said. She didn't even care to pick up a shoe she dropped on the road. There was only one thought in her mind, that is, she couldn't let Shen Jiahao die. Shen Jiahao was the most promising person in the future, how could he die!

And even if I don't care about this, if Shen Jiahao dies because of my improper care, the Shen family will never forgive me!

On the other hand, Shen Guobin had just finished his lunch in the army cafeteria when he heard that Lin Hui and Huang Aidi had spread feudal superstition and were asked by Yang Ai Dang to write a self-criticism.

It was Commander Qi who told him about this.
