Lin Zhengran saw that they were talking about work and did not disturb them. Since there was not enough space for everyone in the jeep he drove, he simply loaded the luggage and asked Yu Daqiang to take it back first.
They had not gone far when some women behind them said:
"I don't know why Qin Shouguo came to the island. He's called the group leader, but how many people does he manage?
And I heard from my family that their group is not affiliated with our island."
"So, Qin Shouguo, the regiment commander, is a commander without any troops?" asked another young woman.
"Who knows if he's just a commander without troops, but he does manage only a few people. Moreover, even Qin Shouguo himself rarely shows up to see those people. He keeps a low profile."
"I've never seen him bring his family here before. I heard he's not married. Who's coming with him today? Did he get married after being away for six months?"
"Why does it take half a year to get married?" The middle-aged woman looked in their direction and said, "When he was in the army, his family was gone for half a year. A few days ago, a group of children came, and today he brought his wife and children."
"Which man on this island isn't busy? He's the only one without a job title. He just throws his hands up and says we have to call him Captain Qin when we meet. Does he really think he's on vacation?"
Qin Shouguo didn't know these words, and even if he did, he wouldn't take them seriously.
His original purpose of coming here was to bring students out for field training, and he just picked an identity at random.
Originally, he didn't need to follow up on the island training in person, but he was worried, and the people above him were also worried, so the two of them decided to let him out.
This group of adults will graduate in a year, and then they will be released.
He let his subordinates do the training on the island, and then returned to Su Province. Unless there were any accidents, he would rarely go out on field missions in the future.
Qin Shouguo sent away his two deputies and turned around to introduce the situation on the island to Lin Zhengran.
"Reveille is at 6 a.m., delayed half an hour on holidays. Breakfast is at 7 a.m., lunch is at 11:30 a.m., dinner is at 5:30 p.m., and lights out are at 9:30 p.m., delayed half an hour on holidays."
Lin Zhengran nodded, and Qin Shouguo asked her, "Do you remember it?"
"I have a good memory. Usually I remember what someone tells me once."
Several children were running in front. Yu Daqiang had never been here before, so he drove slowly behind them, and the two of them walked in the middle.
Lin Zhengran, who was in a hurry to get here, thought he had some mission, but he didn't expect that he was not in a hurry anymore when he got here.
"You can take us back and do whatever you want. I can handle it myself."
"No rush." Qin Shouguo said, "I won't be busy for the next year."
As those people thought, the mission on the island was like a vacation for him.
"You were in such a hurry before, I thought you had something urgent to do!"
"Maybe the people above saw the application for discharge that I submitted, and that's why I left immediately!"
Qin Shouguo didn't want to talk about this with her, so he pointed to the only state-owned store on the island and said, "That's where they sell vegetables. Fresh vegetables are usually sold on the 2nd, 4th, and 6th. At other times, they're not fresh. So from now on, you can buy two days' worth of vegetables at a time."
"Do you often buy groceries and cook?"
Qin Shouguo shook his head and said, "I've never bought one."
Lin Zhengran didn't look at him, but Qin Shouguo knew what she was thinking.
She must be wondering how you know all this if you don’t buy any vegetables?
In fact, these things are not a big deal to Qin Shouguo. As long as he wants to know, he can find out anything about the island.
"We don't live here long term. If you don't get along with the people on the island, don't force yourself."
Although Lin Zhengran nodded, she didn't think so in her heart. She would try her best to adapt herself.
Qin Shouguo arrived late and his residence was far from the shore, so it took them another twenty minutes to walk up.
After coming here, he did not live with the students, but chose to live in the house assigned to him. However, the previous one was just a small single room, not here.
Now this family housing complex has two floors and a large courtyard. Outside the second-floor window is the sea in the distance. Lin Nanfeng was shocked when he saw it.
The sea is endless, the sky is blue, the water is rippling, and the sand on the beach is glowing.
The moment he opened the window, Lin Nanfeng felt his mind broadened.
The sea breeze blew on her face, and all the pores on her body opened instantly. The sunlight shone all over her body, giving her the illusion of being reborn.
Lin Nanfeng didn't hesitate, facing the sea breeze and the sun, and suddenly screamed "Ah-ah-ah".
The window was too high and Duobao couldn't see clearly outside. When he heard his sister shouting excitedly, he hurriedly pulled her trouser legs.
Lin Nanfeng's pants were about to be ripped off by him. He picked him up and the two siblings were screaming like crazy, "Ah——"
Duobao didn't know what sister was, but since it didn't cost any money, it was the right thing to follow her. Later, Qin Xiaomei joined them.
Lin Zhengran and Qin Shouguo saw this scene when they came up.
"It seems they like it here very much." Lin Zhengran said with a smile.
"As long as you like it. Ever since I decided to bring you here, I specifically called to have someone reserve this apartment. This is the apartment with the best view on our island, but it has one drawback: it's very windy at night."
"The strong wind isn't a problem." Lin Zhengran said with a smile, "As long as the children like it, that's fine."
"I thought so too." Qin Shouguo put his hand on the wall and tapped lightly.
There are three rooms on the first and second floors respectively. You can choose whichever room you want to stay in, but the room is empty and there is nothing in it. Apart from anything else, you still have to make a bed.
In the end, Lin Nanfeng and Duobao decided to live on the second floor. Lin Zhengran looked at Qin Shouguo with some embarrassment. How would they live?
Qin Shouguo seemed to know what she was thinking, so he said, "We haven't gotten our marriage certificate yet, and we can't break military discipline. I'll eat here during the day and go back to sleep at night."
Lin Zhengran nodded. Although they were living together, they both needed time to adapt, so this was perfect.
No one has lived in the house, there is a lot of garbage and dust, and there are no pots and pans. These are all problems.
Several women cleaned the house, and Qin Shouguo took Yu Daqiang to pick up some things.
Although he was not affiliated with the island, his benefits and treatment were the same as those of the officers on the island.
It was the first time firing, and there were many things missing, so Qin Shouguo drove out.
The Qin family was discussing and preparing to start a new life when the woman next door saw that the house she liked had been robbed and she started smashing the things in her hands.
The woman at home was heartbroken when she saw this. She quickly rushed forward to grab the thermos and check it. She said to her daughter:
"It's useless for you to like that place. Shengli is only a deputy group leader. That house and yard is a full 200 square meters. When Shengli becomes the group leader, it will be your turn to choose a house."
Su Meilian certainly knew that she had no choice, but that didn't stop her from being angry.
The house next door faces the sea, and she fell in love with it at first sight, otherwise she would not have let her mother grow vegetables in the yard.
Now, with the fragrance of fruits and vegetables filling the yard, are they going to benefit from it?
Su Meilin would not accept such a loss.
