During the meal, Commander Qi sat next to him for the first time, and Shen Guobin was quite excited.

In the entire military region, he admired Division Commander Qi the most because Division Commander Qi was a genuine veteran revolutionary who had joined the Party and joined the guerrillas when he was a teenager, and had fought against the Japanese and been to the front lines.

Shen Guobin believed that such people were worthy of such a position. As for people like the political commissar and Li Chengxi who only knew how to study, he looked down on them deeply.

It was undoubtedly a happy thing for Shen Guobin that Master Qi took the initiative to sit next to him. He was just thinking about what to say to Master Qi, but Master Qi spoke first and told him about Lin Hui.

Lin Hui had embarrassed him several times, and Shen Guobin came back in anger right after finishing his meal.

Unexpectedly, when I got home, I heard Shen Jiaping crying alone at home, and there was no sign of Lin Hui.

To be honest, Shen Guobin has little experience in raising children.

When their mother was still alive, she raised the children by herself. After her death, the children were sent back to her hometown in Xiangcheng and were raised by their mother.

He held Shen Jiaping in his arms and tried to comfort him, but when he found that nothing worked, he suspected that the child was feeling unwell, so he took him to the military clinic.

After examination, it was found that the child had a sore throat and could not defecate, so he cried.

The doctor gave him a suppository and asked him to use it on the child.

After using it, the child defecated a particularly large amount, more than adults. It was obvious that he had not defecated for several days and was holding it in. No wonder he cried so painfully.

At this moment, Shen Guobin's face was extremely ugly. He regretted very much at this moment why he listened to his parents and changed the person from Lin Tao to Lin Hui.

He couldn't help but think of the morning two days ago when he met Lin Tao on her way to work.

Lin Tao was wearing a white shirt and had a pure white gardenia pinned in her hair. She seemed even prettier than when he first saw her.

At this moment, a nurse saw Shen Guobin and said, "Deputy Battalion Commander Shen, are you here to see your family and children? They are out of danger and are in the ward over there."

The nurse pointed to the end of the corridor.

Shen Guobin was confused and didn't understand what the nurse meant. What happened to Lin Hui and the child?

"Nurse, what happened to my family and children?"

The nurse looked at him in confusion and said, "Deputy Captain Shen, your family and children fell into the sea. Don't you know

"

Shen Guobin no longer cared about being angry with Lin Hui or thinking about other things, and quickly carried Shen Jiaping to the ward.

As the nurse said, Shen Jiahao and Lin Hui have both escaped from danger. They were lucky. When Shen Jiahao went to pick cat snails, he didn't notice the high tide and was swept into the sea. Lin Hui tried her best to save him, but she couldn't swim and almost lost her life.

If two fishermen had not arrived at the time, both of them would have surely lost their lives.

Upon learning that Lin Hui almost lost her life in order to save Shen Jiahao, Shen Guobin felt uncomfortable but couldn't say anything to her.

He just held Shen Jiaping in his arms, and told her in a serious tone that she should give the child more water when she takes care of the child in the future, saying that Shen Jiaping was still too young and needed to be taken good care of.

Seeing Shen Guobin's attitude, Lin Hui knew that she had turned a disaster into a blessing.

If it weren't for what Shen Jiahao did, Shen Guobin would probably have had a big fight with her.

But she had never given birth to or raised a child in her life, so she didn't know there were so many things to pay attention to. She thought as long as she didn't raise Shen Jiaping to death, it would be fine. This incident was a small lesson for her, and she had to be more careful in the future.

She was lucky and was rescued just after she drowned. She has almost recovered now.

However, in front of Shen Guobin, it was better to pretend to be weak: "Guobin, I have no experience in raising children before. Now that you told me this, I will definitely pay attention in the future."

Shen Guobin glanced at her, then said to Shen Jiahao, who was standing next to him with a pale face, "Do you know you are wrong?"

Shen Jiahao lowered his head: "I know I was wrong."

"Now that you know you've done something wrong, don't do it again, or I'll break your legs." Shen Guobin's tone was very serious, and he added, "Your stepmother is willing to sacrifice her life for you this time, so you can't treat her the same way in the future."

Shen Jiahao looked up at Lin Hui. Although he didn't say anything, his attitude towards Lin Hui changed a little after he went back.

At least he no longer called Lin Hui "Hey" when he carried Shen Guobin on his back, but called her "stepmother".

When Lin Hui heard the word "stepmother", she was so moved that she almost cried.

She thought that if she had known that this was the only way for Shen Jiahao to accept her, it would have been better for Shen Jiahao to drown earlier and for her to save him earlier. She wouldn't have to suffer for so many months in vain.

However

Now, she had finally gotten through it. Not only was she accepted by Shen Jiahao, but even though Shen Guobin knew that she was promoting feudal superstition, he only said a few words to her and did not lose his temper like last time.

Shen Guobin: "You have studied to high school, but why are you still like a country woman? You believe in these feudal superstitions. Don't let this happen again in the future, otherwise..."

Otherwise, Shen Guobin looked at Lin Huibing’s pale face and said nothing.

Lin Hui secretly felt that this drowning was really worth it.

Her good days are not far away.

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

Lin Tao has been on the island for almost two months, but she has not had her period in these two months.

When Lin Tao first found out that she had not had her period for a month, she was very nervous. That night she pulled Li Chengxi aside to talk about it, and she thought she might be pregnant.

The next day, Li Chengxi took her to the health center for a check-up. The results showed that she had just arrived on the island and was not used to the climate there, which caused her menstrual disorders.

It was a big joke.

Fortunately, when Lin Tao went for the check-up, she didn't directly ask whether she was pregnant or not. Instead, she said that she hadn't had her period for a month and wanted to check first, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing.

However, after Lin Tao drank a bowl of cold rice wine this afternoon, she felt a little wet and uncomfortable down there, and her stomach seemed to hurt a little, but it was just a slight dull pain and not very serious.

I went to the toilet to check and found out that I had my period.

The menstrual belt and other things have been prepared long ago, Lin Tao can just put them on.

The company commander had been eating seafood for more than a week, so Lin Tao finally bought a piece of pork belly today. Instead of making stir-fried pork, she made braised pork.

The pork belly, which is made of fat and lean meat, is stewed until you can poke a hole in it with chopsticks. The red color of the thick sauce is very appetizing just by looking at it, not to mention the rich aroma of meat.

When Li Chengxi came back today, he brought a bag of peaches. There were a total of 3,000 peaches, and each one was as big as Lin Tao's fist. They looked very good.

Lin Tao asked: "Where did you get all these peaches? They look really good."

The peaches were much bigger than the ones on the peach tree at the entrance of their village, and each one was redder than the other. It was obvious that the peach grower had taken careful care of them over the year to ensure that they grew so well. They were incomparable to the wild peaches on the mountain.

Li Chengxi served Lin Tao rice while answering, "The fishermen on the island sent it to me a few days ago.

I happened to pass by and saved their child that year. They are grateful people and give me some peaches every year when they are ripe. "

In the past few years, he had not yet married Lin Tao, so all these peaches were given to his comrades-in-arms.

Now that he had Lin Tao, he took all the peaches home for her to eat. There was a shortage of supplies on the island, and sometimes they might not be able to eat fruits for several months.

He had eaten this peach before. It was juicy, crispy and sweet, and tasted better than those sold outside the island.

"It seems that marrying the captain is not bad. You can also eat free peaches." Lin Tao joked with a smile. In fact, she was very proud in her heart. Her man was a soldier who defended the country and saved lives. In her eyes, he was a great hero.

Since arriving on the island, she has smiled more often and loves to make jokes more than before, and Li Chengxi has contributed a lot to this.

Li Chengxi liked her like this because it meant Lin Tao was happy and relaxed when she was with him.

"Is this all the benefit of marrying me?" Li Chengxi asked back.

Lin Tao smiled and said, "There are so many benefits, I can't list them all at once, let's eat first, the braised pork won't taste good if it gets cold."

As he said this, he picked up a piece of fat and lean meat for Li Chengxi.

The braised pork made by Lin Tao is very much to Li Chengxi's taste, especially when mixed with rice using the braised pork broth, it is even more delicious.

As expected, Li Chengxi ate a lot again tonight.

After the meal, I drank a big bowl of rice wine made by Lin Tao. I felt so refreshed and refreshed.

However, Lin Tao's appetite today was just average. Her appetite was always poor on the first day of her period and she ate less than usual.

Li Chengxi didn't know what was going on and thought it was because the weather was too hot that she had lost her appetite. This is how it is on the island. It's already the end of September, but the temperature is still very high during the day, much hotter than outside the island.

But when the sea breeze blows at night, it becomes cooler.

Seeing that Lin Tao didn't eat much, Li Chengxi took the initiative to wash a peach for her, peeled it and passed it to her.

The peach was crispy and sweet, and very juicy. It tasted really good, and Lin Tao liked it very much. It didn't take long for her to finish the peach, leaving only the pit.

Li Chengqi had just finished washing the dishes and walked out of the yard when he saw Lin Tao sitting in the yard. There was only a peach pit left in her hand. Seeing that Lin Tao liked eating peaches, he wanted to peel another one for her, but Lin Tao refused.

Tao was stopped.

She felt her stomach and realized she couldn't eat any more.

Holding the peach pit in his hand, Lin Tao had an idea in mind and asked Li Chengxi: "What do you think? If we put this peach pit in our yard, will a peach tree grow?"

To be honest, Li Chengxi was good at leading troops in battle, but apart from his physical strength, he was not good at farming. When he first cultivated the vegetable field in his yard, it was all Lin Tao who commanded him. He would fight wherever Lin Tao pointed.

He didn't recognize any of the vegetable seeds that Lin Tao brought from Xiangcheng.

This is normal. He grew up in the city when he was a child. After graduating from military school, he joined the navy and no longer cared about farming.

But when Lin Tao asked this, Li Chengxi immediately took out a hoe and dug a hole in the yard. Then he took the peach pit from Lin Tao and said, "Try it."

Lin Tao stood by and watched Li Chengxi finish his work. She took a towel, rubbed it with cold water, squeezed it, and wiped the sweat off Li Chengxi's face.

The weather was too hot and the man was sweating a lot. He would be covered in sweat if he moved at all.

Every time I came back from training, the clothes I took off were so ugly that they were soaked with sweat.

Lin Tao felt sorry for Li Chengxi wearing wet clothes all day long. They were wet and dry and wet again, which made them uncomfortable to wear. So she took some time to make several vests for Li Chengxi.

With the experience from last time, Lin Tao made the size just right this time.

Lin Tao washed all the vests and asked Li Chengxi to take some to the army. If they got wet with sweat, they could change into new ones to be more comfortable.

Li Chengxi listened to her and took the clothes to the army the next day. When someone saw it, they teased the commander why he brought all the clothes with him. Was he kicked out by his sister-in-law and not allowed to go home to sleep?

Li Chengxi didn't show it on his face, but his tone was full of pride when he spoke. He said that Lin Tao felt sorry for his clothes getting wet with sweat during training, so she asked him to change into them.

As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, all the men in the 13th Regiment under his jurisdiction, who were at the company level and above and whose families came with the army, all shouted that their sister-in-law was still caring and loving, and that when they returned home, they would ask their wives to prepare a few more clothes for them as backup.

The weather is like a hot oven, and we have to train hard. The sweaty clothes become hard and irritating to wear after drying in the sun. It is really uncomfortable.

Those who are still unmarried heard this with envy in their eyes, and they wished they could get married sooner.

These

Not to mention, when they went to bed at night, as soon as they turned off the lights, Li Chengxi hugged Lin Tao from behind.

Lin Tao noticed that something was pressing against her waist. She felt angry and amused. She grabbed Li Chengxi's hand that was rubbing her chest and said, "Stop it. I'm here to get close to you."

Li Chengxi was stunned for a moment before he realized what Lin Tao meant by "relatives". He silently retracted his hand from her chest and stopped teasing her.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Li Chengxi's tone was full of concern.

He didn't know much about women's affairs. When he was a child, he saw his aunt having stomach pain every month. At first, he thought his aunt had an upset stomach and ran to the hospital to buy her medicine. Unexpectedly, he was laughed at when he came back. Then he vaguely knew something.

Lin Tao shook her head: "It's okay, it hurts a little bit, it should be because I drank some rice wine in the afternoon."

After listening to this, Li Chengxi rubbed his hands together. After his originally cold hands were warmed up, he placed his big hands on Lin Tao's lower abdomen.

She said in a slightly serious voice, "You can't eat cold or spicy food during this period. Leave your clothes to me to wash."

This was the first time that Li Chengqi spoke to Lin Tao in such a serious tone, but Lin Tao was only happy in her heart.

Lin Tao smiled, imitated Xiao Ning's usual behavior, saluted Li Chengxi with a non-standard military salute, and said, "Yes, Captain."

Lin Tao felt the warmth in her lower abdomen, and she understood that it was not only her lower abdomen that was warm, but also her heart.

In this dark night, there is incomparable warmth.

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

Peach Blossom Village.

Lin Tao's letter had arrived a week earlier, but Lin Changhai was in the city doing transportation at the time and was not at home. A week after he returned home, he received the letter from Lin Tao from Aunt Fang.

Lin Tao sent two letters this time, one to Lin Changhai and the other to Aunt Fang and Lin Manman. The contents of the two letters were similar, both introducing her life on the island.

Lin Changhai was happy at first, but when he saw the latter part, he couldn't help but look a little melancholy.

Aunt Fang noticed that something was wrong with him and asked, "What's wrong? Did the letter say anything bad?"

I don’t think so. Ah Tao also wrote her a letter saying that everything was fine on the island.

Lin Changhai shook his head: "No, this kid said he wanted to take me along too.

Go to the island."

Aunt Fang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. She was really worried that something bad had happened to Lin Tao.

"A Tao is a filial child. She probably thinks that you will be too lonely at home after she leaves." Aunt Fang said, and then asked, "What do you think?"

Lin Changhai shook his head and said nothing.
