Lin Tao felt embarrassed by what Chen Shuifen said.

Li Chengxi didn't show any expression. It was obvious that he was often teased by his comrades in the regiment and had become immune to such remarks.

Just as Chen Shuifen finished speaking, Zheng Youde came from behind with two children, holding one in his arms and following another.

Zheng Youde was annoyed when he saw Chen Shuifen: "You left the child at Ding's house, but the brat didn't even tell me when he had a shit, and even soiled the bedding. What are you doing at home all day? You don't even take good care of the child, and you just want to go fishing all day."

Chen Shuifen didn't expect Zheng Hongxing to actually poop on Ding Saozi's bed, which made her so angry. This brat really only remembers to eat and not to be beaten. How many times have I told him to tell me when he poops, tell me when he poops, but he doesn't tell me every time he poops, and he even dares to poop on someone else's bed!

And what about that brat Zheng Xiangyang? How can he look down upon his younger brother!

Chen Shuifen felt very bad about Zheng Hongxing pooping on the bedding at Mrs. Ding's house. She decided to go to Mrs. Ding's house later, deliver half of the seafood she had bought today, and take the initiative to help wash the bedding.

But after hearing what Zheng Youde said, she was more or less dissatisfied.

He glared at Zheng Youde and said, "Why are you so fierce? I'm going to chase you three away!"

The family of four went back home noisily, leaving Li Chengxi and Lin Tao alone. They looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Chen Shuifen and Zheng Youde usually quarrel with each other. Every family has its own way of getting along with each other. Lin Tao and Li Chengxi never talk about other people's affairs behind their backs.

After returning home, Li Chengxi asked Lin Tao to rest for a while and started to deal with the things in the bucket.

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th. It is just right to eat crabs and drink rice wine with moon cakes.

Li Chengxi took out the swimming crabs and put them in another bucket to keep until tomorrow. The hairy clams could not be eaten today either, they had to be kept for at least a day until they spit out all the sand.

"Should we raise this octopus or fry it today?" Li Chengxi turned around and asked Lin Tao while he was processing it.

Lin Tao took off her hat and said, "Let's fry it today. I'll pick some peppers and fry them later."

Lin Tao still remembered what Chen Shuifen had told her. She couldn't let the octopus survive tonight. Otherwise, she was afraid that

Chen Shuifen came over to check.

Speaking of this octopus, Lin Tao couldn't help but tell Li Chengxi about Chen Shuifen being sprayed with ink, and she laughed happily. The way her eyebrows and eyes curved made people feel happy.

Seeing her like this, Li Chengxi originally wanted to tell her that she could just go to the grocery store to buy whatever she wanted to eat in the future, but he did not say that catching up with the sea was too tiring.

It seems that the daughter-in-law is more happy than tired about catching up with the sea.

In that case, he would just follow Lin Tao. As long as she was happy, he would be happy too.

Lin Tao then told Li Chengxi the origin of these hairy clams. When she mentioned that they were given to her by her students, she raised her chin slightly with a hint of pride on her face.

While Li Chengxi was busy with his work and listening, he felt that all the fatigue from training during the day disappeared.

The dinner time would probably be a little later again today, so Lin Tao took out two mooncakes and gave one to Li Chengxi and they ate them first to fill their stomachs.

After eating, the couple worked together to prepare dinner.

The peppers in the vegetable garden have grown. Lin Tao has been picking them for several days. Today, when they are almost ready, she picked a dozen peppers. After washing them, she heated up the pot. There is no need to add oil. She just threw the peppers into the pot and stir-fried them for a few times. When the peppers are stir-fried and look cooked, they are done.

Take out the mortar that I brought from Xiangcheng, throw the stir-fried chili peppers and peeled garlic into it, and slowly pound them. During this process, the aroma of the chili peppers and garlic will slowly be pounded out, and soon, a delicious dish is ready. Just scoop it out of the mortar and put it in a bowl.

This is the famous "pounded pepper" in Xiangcheng.

There is also a famous saying in Xiangcheng, which is "no taste without chili, but spicy food is so spicy that it kills you." In Xiangcheng, there are more than ten ways to cook chili, including pounding chili, roasting chili, pickling chili, chopping chili, and frying chili in oil...

You can eat it in different ways.

In addition to pounding chili peppers, Lin Tao also made a cold salad with asparagus, stir-fried octopus with chili peppers and steamed oysters.

The oysters are steamed directly and then dipped in the sauce made by Lin Tao with minced garlic, chili, vinegar and soy sauce. The taste is particularly good.

Yang Ai-dang told her this method. Knowing that she was from Xiangcheng, she must like to stir-fry all kinds of dishes. However, sometimes steamed seafood is fresher, not necessarily worse than stir-fried seafood.

.

Lin Tao thought what Yang Aidang said made sense, so she used her method to cook seafood several times, and the taste was quite good. Although the processing methods were very simple and most of the time only required steaming or boiling, they still tasted unique.

Apparently, oysters cooked this way were quite to Li Chengqi's liking. He ate several in a row, each time dipping them in the sauce and taking one bite at a time.

Lin Tao saw him eat so much, but she was not happy like usual because he liked the food she cooked. Instead, she remembered what Chen Shuifen had said to her before, and she couldn't help feeling worried.

Li Chengxi, who didn't eat oysters, was already like that at night. After eating so many oysters, wouldn't he be...

Lin Tao didn't feel comfortable thinking about what was going on. She wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to speak it out loud.

She couldn't just tell Li Chengxi that Chen Shuifen said eating oysters makes men more powerful, and you're already powerful enough, and she'd be scared if you were any more powerful, so you'd better not eat so many oysters.

Lin Tao felt embarrassed just thinking about such words, let alone saying them out loud.

While Li Chengxi was thinking about things, he had already finished his meal. Seeing that Lin Tao was also full, he took the initiative to clear the table and wash the dishes.

As usual, the two of them went outside for a walk after dinner to help digest the food, enjoy the sea breeze, and watch the magnificent sunset where the sky and the sea meet.

The two returned home before it was completely dark, and after washing up, they went to the bedroom.

She turned on the light and started reading. Li Chengxi had already finished half of the book he had talked about last time. However, this book was too professional and Lin Tao only understood half of it. But she liked lying on Li Chengxi's breasts and liked the feeling of Li Chengxi reading to her.

So even if she didn't understand very well, she would continue to lie on Li Chengxi's moon bed and listen to Li Chengxi's explanation.

From bottom to top, she looked at Li Chengxi's strong chin and lips. She heard Li Chengxi occasionally say a sentence or two in English. When Li Chengxi read English, his voice was very pleasant. She liked to listen to him read English. Once, she even asked him to read a passage from the text in English.

Although she didn't understand, it didn't stop her from liking him and knowing that her lover was a very good person.

After turning off the lights at night, Li Chengxi came over and hugged Lin Tao, whispering her name in her ear: "A Tao..."

Every time he did this, Lin Tao knew what he wanted to do.

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

Mid-Autumn Festival is a holiday

, you can also watch open-air movies at night.

Last time, two boxes of mooncakes were sent to their home. Lin Tao and Li Chengxi couldn't finish them, so they decided to give a few to Chen Shuifen's family and Xu Yuting's family.

Chen Shuifen was just about to take her children out to the supply and marketing cooperative. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lin Tao coming.

Lin Tao came over, teased Zheng Hongxing, and patted Zheng Xiangyang's head, and said with a smile: "Are you going out, big sister?"

"Hey, isn't today the Mid-Autumn Festival? These two boys are clamoring for mooncakes and insist that I take them to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them. They also said that if we go too late they won't be able to buy them. I haven't even washed the dishes yet." Chen Shuifen complained but had a smile on her face. She wasn't angry with the children.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the child wanted to eat some mooncakes, and there was nothing she couldn't satisfy.

Lin Tao smiled and opened the cloth bag containing the mooncakes to show them: "That's a coincidence. A few days ago, Cheng Xi's aunt and her family sent us two boxes of mooncakes. Cheng Xi and I couldn't finish them, so we thought of bringing some over to give to the children."

Each mooncake is only the size of a palm, and the packaging is also exquisite, with the flavor written on the packaging paper. It is not like the big mooncakes sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives on the island, which are as big as a bowl and are not cheap at first glance.

Chen Shuifen was embarrassed to accept it: "That's embarrassing, you guys should keep it for yourselves, I'll take the kids to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it."

"Sister, please don't be polite to me. I eat a lot of food from your house." Lin Tao said angrily, and took out two mooncakes, giving one to Zheng Xiangyang and Zheng Hongxing respectively. "This is red bean paste flavor, and it tastes very sweet. Xiangyang, take it and eat it with your brother."

Zheng Xiangyang swallowed and couldn't help but look at his mother.

Chen Shuifen said helplessly: "Alright, alright, stop looking at me, just eat if you want."

Only then did Zheng Xiangyang dare to eat mooncakes.

Lin Tao took out several mooncakes and gave them to Chen Shuifen. When she was about to leave, Chen Shuifen stopped her and stuffed several salted duck eggs into her cloth bag, so she gave up.

Lin Tao was helpless: "Big sister..."

Chen Shuifen waved her hand at her: "I made the salted duck eggs myself. They are delicious, with lots of yolk. I'll take them back and have a try with Captain Li to see how they taste."

Lin Tao did not refuse anymore and took the salted duck eggs back home, and then went to Xu Yuting's house to deliver moon cakes.

It happened that Li Chengxi was coming back from morning exercises. The soldiers had to do morning exercises every day, even on holidays.

The days will pass by without any delay.

Li Chengxi was sweating all over and took off his military uniform, revealing his upper body in a vest.

Seeing that his vest was soaked with sweat, Lin Tao quickly told him to take a shower, and she went to the room to get him a new clean vest and asked him to change into it later.

After taking a shower, Li Chengxi felt much more refreshed. But his hair was still a little wet. Li Chengxi's hair grows fast. He had cut it short last week, but it has grown longer now.

Lin Tao felt that Li Chengxi had a unique charm like this, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

When leaving, Lin Tao asked him, "I'm going to Xu Yuting's house to deliver mooncakes. Do you want to go?"

"Go." Li Chengxi responded and followed Lin Tao out.

"Would you like to go to the grocery store and buy something later?"

Lin Tao shook her head: "No, we have everything we need at home. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, the food factory and the supply and marketing cooperative will probably be very crowded, so we'd better not join in the fun."

"Okay, you have the final say at home."

The two smiled at each other and walked towards Xu Yuting's house.

Unexpectedly, when I was halfway there, I ran into Lin Hui and Shen Guobin with a few children, who had just returned from the supply and marketing cooperative.

The supply and marketing cooperative was indeed very crowded just as Lin Tao had said. In addition, the cooperative had just received some goods yesterday, so it was even bustling today, with people cramming everywhere.

Lin Hui's hair was a mess and her clothes were wrinkled because she was trying to buy some mooncakes for the children. In addition, she had been taking care of the children every day for the past six months, which was not as easy as when she was a big girl at home. Her face was much more haggard than before.

At first glance, it looks like he's aged several years.

When she met Lin Tao at this time, her appearance was in perfect contrast to Lin Tao's delicate and charming appearance.

Lin Hui felt that Lin Tao seemed to have become more beautiful than before since she hadn't seen her for a while. The material of her clothes was obviously good, and it outlined her figure very well.

And Li Chengxi beside her, tall and handsome, standing next to Lin Tao, they really are as perfect as others say, a match made in heaven and earth.

Although this is the fact, it is also a fact that Lin Hui is unwilling to admit.

However, Shen Guobin ordered her not to wear the few beautiful skirts she brought from home, because he thought those skirts were too "indecent" and did not look like those of a military family.

Before going to the island, I took her to the mountain city to buy two sets of clothes.

Both sets of clothes were chosen by Shen Guobin. He chose the most old-fashioned style and color. The military green one was okay, but the other one was too old-fashioned and made her skin look darker.

But in order to please Shen Guobin, Lin Hui still took out these two sets of clothes and wore them from time to time.

It was a good thing that she hadn't seen Lin Tao these days. She sometimes thought to herself that maybe the captain Li, who loved his guests very much, wasn't as good as outsiders said.

After all, when she saw Shen Guobin and Lin Tao in her last life, Shen Guobin was extremely good to Lin Tao, to the point of being meticulous.

But ever since she married Shen Guobin, she didn't feel that Shen Guobin was as good as she thought in her previous life.

She thought, maybe Shen Guobin wasn't as nice to Lin Tao as he seemed in his previous life. He was just putting on an act in front of outsiders, everyone would do that.

However, there is one thing that Lin Hui thinks is good about Shen Guobin, that is, Shen Guobin does not beat women. In her previous life, she was married to Zhao Yuejin and was beaten countless times. Although she is a little tired of taking care of three children in this life, everything is getting better now, and she thinks it is all worth it.

However, this kind of "worth it" cannot be compared with Lin Tao. For example, now, as soon as Lin Hui saw Lin Tao, she began to feel uncomfortable again.

Likewise, she is not the only one who feels bad.

Shen Guobin, who was beside her, felt upset when he saw Lin Tao and Li Chengxi standing together.

He always felt that if he had not listened to his parents and replaced Lin Tao with Lin Hui, Lin Tao would be his cousin now and Li Chengxi would have nothing to do with her.

The couple had their own thoughts in their hearts, but no one said it out loud. However, after they walked away, Lin Hui looked at Lin Tao's back and couldn't help but said, "Fox spirit..."

Shen Jiayi looked at Lin Hui and asked, "Stepmother, what does the term fox spirit mean?"

Before Lin Hui could explain, Shen Guobin glared at her fiercely. The warning in his eyes was self-evident, and she was so scared that she dared not say anything bad about Lin Tao anymore and quickly changed the subject.

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

Unlike Lin Hui and Shen Guobin, who were so active, Lin Tao and Li Chengxi simply ignored their family and talked and laughed all the way to Xu Yuting's house.

Li Chengxi knocked on the door and the person who opened it was Wang Yuanliang.

Seeing that it was Li Chengxi and Lin Tao who came, he quickly invited them to come in and sit down.

Lin Tao smiled and said, "We won't sit down.

I have to cook when I get home. My family sent some mooncakes over a few days ago, and I wanted to send a few to your house to try. Captain Wang, where are your family members?"

If Xu Yuting knew Lin Tao was coming, she would have come out at this moment.

However, Lin Tao didn't see Xu Yuting from the moment she entered the door, which made her feel a little confused.

Wang Yuanliang glanced into the room and explained, "Yuting felt a little uncomfortable after returning from the sea yesterday. She said she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, so I let her sleep a little longer."

"Is it so serious? Did you get heatstroke? Have you seen a doctor?" When Lin Tao heard that Xu Yuting was not feeling well, she asked her three anxious questions.

Yesterday, Xu Yuting went with me because she wanted to go to the beach. Later, Xu Yuting said she was not feeling well, and she thought it was just too hot, so she didn't take it seriously. She didn't expect it to be so serious today.

Lin Tao felt somewhat guilty.

But just as she finished asking, Xu Yuting came out of the room, glared at Wang Yuanliang, and said, "My case is not as serious as you say."

Then he said to Lin Tao, "A Tao, I'm fine. I just felt a little nauseous when I woke up this morning. My stomach feels a little bloated. Maybe I ate too much last night and it's hard for me to digest it. I'll just take some yeast tablets later."

Lin Tao breathed a sigh of relief, but still reminded him: "It's not certain whether it's indigestion or not. Don't take yeast tablets randomly. You'd better see a doctor first. This way you can feel more at ease."

"That's what I said, but A Ting refused to go. It really made me anxious." Wang Yuanliang said with a worried tone.

Xu Yuting curled her lips and said, "I have never liked going to the hospital since I was a child. It smells like disinfectant."

"No, that won't work. If you're sick you have to see a doctor." Lin Tao held Xu Yuting's hand.

Xu Yuting sighed: "Okay, then I'll go for Ah Tao's sake."

"Sister-in-law, you are still the best. I have been talking to her so hard from last night to today that my lips are almost worn out, but A Ting still doesn't listen to me. I never thought that she couldn't withstand a single word from you." Wang Yuanliang sighed.

Lin Tao felt a little embarrassed, but Li Chengxi patted Wang Yuanliang on the shoulder and said, "That's right, don't you see who your sister-in-law is?"

Wang Yuanliang pretended to be stupid: "Who is my sister-in-law?"

Li Chengxi glanced at him and said, "My wife."

Xu Yuting’s family also has mooncakes, but the flavor is different from Lin Tao’s.

The mooncakes in her house were sent from Wang Yuanliang's hometown.

Suzhou-style ham mooncakes. Xu Yuting took Lin Tao's mooncakes, and when they left, she gave Lin Tao a few more ham mooncakes, and the two families took turns eating them.

Suzhou-style ham mooncakes are different from the mooncakes in Shanghai and Xiangcheng. To Lin Tao, this kind of mooncake is more like a crispy cake. When you take a bite, you can find that the mooncake skin is a bit crispy, and the ham inside is fragrant and salty, and the taste is pretty good.

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

There was still some rice wine left from last time, and Lin Tao planned to use it to make sweet wine glutinous rice balls.

The glutinous rice balls in the sweet wine glutinous rice balls do not need to be stuffed, nor do they need to be made as big as ordinary glutinous rice balls. Lin Tao rolls the glutinous rice balls into small round balls, cooks them, cools them down, and then puts them into rice wine.

The rice wine is cooled with well water, so it tastes icy and comfortable when you drink it.

Lin Tao planned to have a big meal in the evening, so she didn't cook any dishes at noon. Instead, she took out some dry rice noodles she brought from Xiangcheng, soaked them in hot water for half an hour, and after the dry rice noodles became soft, she put them in boiling water and cooked them for a few minutes.

Today I fried some tofu shreds to make臊子. The tofu shreds were fried with lard. It smelled good and tasted even better.

Pinch some green chopped green onions and sprinkle them into the bowl of rice noodles, scoop a spoonful of bright red chopped chili peppers, stir it with chopsticks, and then pick up a chopstick and take a bite.

Mm, perfume.

Compared with the black fungus and pork shreds with sauce, Lin Tao found that Li Chengxi liked the tofu shreds with sauce more. She thought about frying more tofu shreds for him the next time they eat rice noodles.

After lunch, the two of them cleaned the house together.

Lin Tao and Li Chengxi are very clean people. They usually do a light sweep every two days and a thorough cleaning every five days. Their home has always been quite clean.

But this time I wiped the entire cabinet, including the top. Although I usually pay attention to hygiene, there is still a little dust.

After the sanitation was completed, Lin Tao went to check on her vegetable garden.

Most of the vegetables that I planted before have grown, such as water spinach, which I have already eaten two or three times.

Water spinach is similar to green onions and leeks. It can grow again after you eat it once. But according to Lin Tao's experience, the first two crops of water spinach taste good, but the taste is not good after that, and it will be a bit bitter.

So, looking at the water spinach that was starting to grow wildly in the field again, Lin Tao instructed Li Chengxi to pull them all out.

Home

The chicks I bought earlier have grown a lot, and the day for them to lay eggs is approaching. However, after the chicks have shed their yellow feathers, they are no longer as cute as they were when they were little.

When they were first bought, Lin Tao would play with them a few times every day, but later she just gave them some food and lost the interest to play with them.

Li Chengxi threw the picked water spinach next to the chicken coop for the chickens to peck at.

But the little chicks don’t like to eat these very much. They will only take a peck at them at first because they look fresh. But when they realize they are not tasty, they will kick them away with their thin claws.

Lin Tao looked at the vegetable leaves and thought it was a waste, so she thought about raising some other small animals at home.

The long beans also grew very fast. Even though Lin Tao had already given some to several military wives she was familiar with, the speed at which they were eaten could not keep up with the speed at which they grew.

Lin Tao picked the tender ones to pickle sour beans, and dried the older ones to make dried beans.

Lin Tao planted the small plot of land where water spinach was planted with radish seeds. People eat radishes in winter and ginger in summer, so planting the seeds now will be just in time for them to be eaten before the New Year.

The couple worked in the yard until after two o'clock and finally finished all the work.

Seeing that it was still early, the two went back to their room to take a nap. The sleep during the day was a proper sleep. After all, Li Chengxi was the leader of the group, and he would not think about that kind of thing in broad daylight.

Lin Tao planned to wait until 3:30 to get up and cook dinner. She was a fast cook and could prepare a dinner in an hour.

However, Lin Tao had no concept of time after falling asleep. If Li Chengxi hadn't woken her up at 3:30 punctually, she would probably have slept until 5:00.

Li Chengxi kissed Lin Tao on the forehead and said it was half past three.

Lin Tao was half asleep. She checked the time on her watch and found it was exactly half past three, not a minute more or less.

This man is really serious.

Li Chengxi helped with cooking in the evening, but there were limits to what he could do. Most of the time he just helped light the fire. He did whatever Lin Tao asked him to do.

Not to mention, Lin Tao felt it was quite strange to see the leader, who usually commanded thousands of people in a group outside, being commanded by her in the kitchen.

Lin Tao fried the last piece of bacon and made clams with scallion oil.

The swimming crabs that were raised yesterday are still alive

As soon as Lin Tao came over, he immediately raised his big pliers and was ready at all times.

Lin Tao sighed helplessly and quickly turned around to call Li Chengxi.

Li Chengxi finally had his own battlefield. He quickly dealt with these swimming crabs that were holding up their big pincers to scare people. He tied them up one by one with home strings, threw them into the pot, and steamed them.

The moon on August 15th is not only rounder than usual, but also appears earlier than usual.

It was just past five o'clock here and the sky was still light outside. The round moon had already passed through the clouds and was hanging in the sky.

In order to be able to enjoy the moon while eating, Li Chengxi moved their dining table to the window when cleaning at noon today.

By now the meal was ready, and the two sat at the table to eat. As long as they looked up, they could see the full moon in the sky through the window.

Today Lin Tao cooked rice and ate a whole bowl of bacon with it.

Needless to say, Li Chengxi's appetite is naturally incomparable to Lin Tao.

Today we had more clams cooked with scallion oil. After finishing the meal, the two of us ate them alone and finished the whole bowl, leaving only half a bowl of clam shells.

It was Lin Tao’s first time eating swimming crabs, and she didn’t know how to peel the shells, so Li Chengxi peeled the shells for her before giving them to her.

The swimming crabs in August are not only rich in roe, but the crab meat is also very plump and sweet. When eaten with a little vinegar, the taste is surprisingly good.

There were four swimming crabs in total, Lin Tao and Li Chengxi ate two each.

After eating so much, Lin Tao was completely full and couldn't even eat mooncakes.

Li Chengxi, on the other hand, drank a large bowl of Lin Tao's sweet wine dumplings. He really liked Lin Tao's sweet wine dumplings and gave them a very high evaluation when he first drank them.

He praised Lin Tao highly and promised to do it for him again before the weather got cold.

The movie started at seven o'clock in the evening, and by the time they had finished their meal and washed the dishes, it was just after six o'clock.

The two of them could just go for a walk outside to digest their food before the movie started. Lin Tao had eaten too much, so going for a walk would be the best option to avoid feeling uncomfortable while sitting and watching the movie.

Li Chengxi saw that Lin Tao was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and was afraid that she would feel cold in the sea breeze at night, so he got her a coat before going out.

The temperature difference between day and night on the island is large.

It's hot in the morning, but it gets cold when the sea breeze blows at night.

He is in good health and is not afraid of the cold, but he has to protect Lin Tao.

As soon as the two of them walked to the door, they heard a commotion next door. It was Chen Shuifen cursing: "Zheng Youde, can you stop lying like a dead person after dinner and go wash the dishes? You wait for me to do all the work. Aren't you afraid that one day I will be exhausted to death and the three of you will starve to death?"

They didn't want to interfere in other people's family affairs, so they just pretended not to hear anything and walked towards the beach.

There was a movie to watch in the evening, and the happiest people were the children on the island. They just finished dinner and ran out of their homes to grab seats.

It's so hard to watch a movie, so you have to find a great seat to watch it.

For military officers like Li Chengxi, the organization had already prepared seats. The seats were pretty good, pretty close to the front and in the middle. As a family member of a military officer, Lin Tao didn't have to reserve a seat to watch the movie, thanks to Captain Li.

It was not even seven o'clock yet, but the open space was already full of people. Those who arrived later and didn't get a good seat simply stood at the back so they could see more clearly.

Today's movie is Land Mine Warfare. Many older children who have seen it were disappointed after seeing the title: "Oh, why is it Land Mine Warfare again? It was also shown last time during the Dragon Boat Festival. It's the same movie again this time. How boring!"

Children don't care. They have short memories. Even if they have watched the same movie several times, they can still watch it again as if it were a new movie and enjoy it very much.

Lin Tao had also watched "Land Mine Warfare", but that was a few years ago.

When she was still in Taohua Village, the village also organized movie watching. But she was still known as a coffin girl at that time. Even if she came early, she couldn't choose a good seat. She could only sit in a more remote position to watch. Sometimes she was blocked by others and couldn't see at all.

This time with Li Chengxi's company, the atmosphere was very different, and Lin Tao watched the entire film.

During the film, she would discuss the content of the movie with Li Chengxi in a low voice. However, she was afraid of disturbing others watching the movie, so she would speak in Li Chengxi's ear and in a very low voice.

Li Chengxi patiently responded to her, and when he saw the wind, he asked her, "Are you cold?"

Lin Tao really felt a little cold, so she nodded and said a little. Li Chengxi put the breakfast

Lin Tao put on the prepared coat, and after putting on the coat, she didn't feel cold at all.

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

Not far away, Yang Aidang and Commander Qi were sitting together.

Yang Aidang noticed what Lin Tao and Li Chengxi were doing, and while watching the movie she nudged Commander Qi next to her with her elbow.

He whispered, "Look at Xiao Li and Xiao Lin, they have such a good relationship. In my opinion, everyone in your army should learn from Xiao Li and Xiao Wang. Only when the family relationships are harmonious can you feel at ease to serve the country. It is not easy for us women to leave our hometowns and follow you men to join the army. You men should put away your chauvinism."

Master Qi smiled bitterly and said, "You are wrongly accusing me of this. Am I not a chauvinist?"

"You are not." This is something the Yang Ai Party must admit.

Commander Qi secretly reached out and grabbed Yang Aidang's hand, saying, "That's enough. You said that Xiao Li and Xiao Lin have a good relationship, but does that mean we don't have a good enough relationship?"

Yang Ai Dang struggled to pull her hand back, but was afraid of making a noise and being noticed, so she could only do it gently. But Teacher Qi was very strong, so it was not easy for her to get away.

Yang Ai Dang was annoyed: "You are getting less and less serious as you get older. If your subordinates see you, where will you put your face?"

Teacher Qi sat up straight and continued watching the movie, but he said, "It's not like I'm holding other people's hands, so what's there to be afraid of? Anyway, how many Mid-Autumn Festivals have we celebrated together?"

This brought back memories for Yang Aidang. The two met in 1940, when Yang Aidang was still Yang Chunhong from the countryside and was only 16 years old. He saved the injured Division Commander Qi and another guerrilla fighter regardless of the danger, and the two met each other.

But the two really got together after the end of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945. Commander Qi went back to Yang Aidang's village to find her, and they got married.

Later, they fought with the Kuomintang, and the two of them spent less time together and more time apart.

Yang Aidang remembered that the first Mid-Autumn Festival they spent together was the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1949. Not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the New China was founded.

"It seems like there are eighteen of them." Yang Aidan fell into recollection.

Master Qi corrected him: "Please calculate carefully. We celebrated our first Mid-Autumn Festival together in 1949. This year has been 20 years. How is it possible that there are only 18?"

Yang Ai Dang glared at him and said, "Have you forgotten how busy you are at work? There were two years when you happened to be out during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Have you forgotten that the sea is gone? I will give birth in a year and you are not here. If not…"

Seeing that Yang Ai-dang was about to bring up the past again, Commander Qi quickly begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I didn't remember it for a moment, it's my fault, I admit my mistake here. Ai-dang, thank you for your hard work over the years."

After the last sentence was spoken, even Yang Ai Dang couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

She withdrew her usual fierce and fierce behavior and said, "Why talk about hardship or not? You know me. I know you are doing this for the motherland. As long as I can see our country getting stronger and stronger year by year, and our coastal defense force getting stronger year by year, I never feel tired."

The two people's hands were tightly clasped at an angle that no one could see.

Just like when Commander Qi lost too much blood, the teenage Yang Chunhong held his hand and encouraged him: "Comrade, comrade, hold on, there is hope!"

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

August 16th, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

When Li Chengxi came back in the evening, he brought a package sent from Xiangcheng.

As soon as he entered the door, he said to the inside: "A Tao, the package that Dad sent for us has arrived."

Lin Tao had been looking forward to receiving a letter from home for many days. When she saw the package, she quickly put down the work in her hands, walked out of the kitchen, and couldn't wait to open it.

The package contained a lot of things from home, but Lin Tao didn't have time to take care of them. She first opened the letter and started reading.

However, after reading the letter, the smile on my face gradually froze, and when I read to the end, I couldn't help but tear up.

When Li Chengxi noticed that Lin Tao was not feeling well, he had already walked behind her and read the contents of the letter. He knew that Lin Tao was sad because Lin Changhai said in the letter that he was not planning to come over for the time being.

After reading the letter, Lin Tao bit her lip and tried several times to hold back her tears.

She always thought that she was not so fragile. When she followed Li Chengxi to the island by train, she sometimes couldn't help but think of her father, especially when she saw a father on the train holding his daughter and teasing her.

She wanted to cry at that time, but she held it back because Li Chengxi and her grandmother were there and she didn't want them to worry about her. They were so nice and she should know how to be content.

How could all good things happen to her?

But when she found out that she could bring her father home to live with her family, she was really happy.

, so she couldn't help but write a letter late at night.

Afterwards the letter was sent away, she looked forward to receiving a letter from Xiangcheng every day.

The long-awaited day finally arrived, but the letter said that Dad was not going to come and live with them.

In fact, she understood that her father had his own considerations, especially when her father said in the letter that the reason why he did not choose to come and live with them was because his current job was arranged for him by the organization after his retirement. Although he has retired, he will always be a soldier in his heart. He will obey the organization's arrangements and do this job well until the organization no longer needs him.

Another reason is because of Lin Tao's mother.

Lin Tao's mother's grave is in Taohua Village, and Lin Changhai wants to spend more time with her. Lin Tao married and moved far away, so he thinks he should spend more time with her.

When he was on holiday and resting at home, he would go to the grave on the opposite mountain to see her and talk to her.

However,
