Chapter Seventy-Nine: Dream on
Xinli wanted to ask a few more questions, but she was too dizzy and felt that breathing would only make her mind more confused, so she closed her eyes and didn't continue.
He Mingzhou noticed that Xin Li was uncomfortable, reached out and touched her head, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that her body temperature was dropping.
"You should get some rest."
Xinli mumbled an "Mmm" in her sleep and then fell silent.
He Mingzhou stayed with Xin Li until she fell asleep before finally putting her into bed.
He carefully tucked the blanket around Xinli before getting up and leaving the cabin.
"Deputy Division Commander".
Seeing He Mingzhou come out, everyone else smiled and asked, "How is your sister-in-law?"
He Mingzhou said it was alright.
"The fever is going down."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Luckily the fever has subsided, otherwise you, Deputy Division Commander, would be so worried."
"It's also because we didn't prepare in advance. We never even considered that my sister-in-law would get seasick."
He Mingzhou glanced at the person who spoke: "This has nothing to do with you."
"She didn't even know she was seasick before, how could anyone else have known?"
That's what they say, but Xinli is, after all, a military wife.
Moreover, if it weren't for Xinli preparing soup for everyone, they would definitely be exhausted from working late into the night.
They remembered all these kindnesses, so they wanted to take extra care of Xinli.
"We prepared some fresh fruit that had been stored in the ice cellar; it's ready to eat right away."
"Deputy Division Commander, could you go and get some for your wife later?"
"Eating something should make you feel much better."
He Mingzhou nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
“Deputy Division Commander, what are you saying? We’re all brothers, there’s no hardship involved.”
He Mingzhou smiled, patted the man on the shoulder, and then went to the captain's cabin.
This time, she led the team, and everyone followed her orders.
However, because of Xinli's seasickness, He Mingzhou handed over the reins to someone else.
Fortunately, there are no pushovers in the military, so there have been no major problems for so long, and everything is proceeding as expected.
"Deputy Division Commander".
When the brigade commander saw He Mingzhou arrive, he quickly stood up and asked, "Is your wife feeling better?"
He Mingzhou nodded and briefly explained Xin Li's situation to reassure everyone.
"What's the situation at sea?"
The brigade commander said everything was calm and peaceful.
"The typhoon has just passed, and there are currently no storms at sea."
He Mingzhou carefully examined all the data before grunting and saying, "Keep an eye on it. Although it's unlikely that anything unexpected will happen, we still can't let our guard down."
If they were to encounter a storm, although the boat might be fine, it would definitely be a problem for those who were traveling.
Especially if the storm is too strong, they are very likely to lose their way.
They were responsible for picking up the people transporting supplies, and it wouldn't be very respectable if they arrived later than the other party.
It also fails to demonstrate their sincerity.
The donations of supplies from others are acts of kindness, and they must not make any mistakes.
"Yes, it's fortunate that we set off early this time. Even if something happens, we can deal with it in time and avoid any mistakes."
Originally, everyone was planning to leave early and go to the town to have some fun.
After all, there are no entertainment activities on the island, and they all brought their families with them this time.
Unexpectedly, Xinli got seasick. Although the trip wasn't disrupted, it still made everyone feel a bit down.
Their only hope now is to get ashore as soon as possible, so that Xinli's seasickness will be much better, and everyone will have enough time to go ashore to play and buy supplies.
"Well, there's no need to be too tense. Just keep a normal watchful eye on things, and we'll talk to you if anything seems amiss."
"yes."
He Mingzhou did not linger in the captain's cabin and turned back to his own cabin.
After taking seasickness medication and getting a good night's sleep, Xinli recovered most of her health the next day.
Although I still feel dizzy when I see the swaying seawater, it's much better than before when I could barely stand.
She wanted to go play on the deck, but He Mingzhou stopped her.
"Let's rest for another day and see."
It would be terrible if I finally managed to get up, but then got seasick again on the deck.
Knowing that He Mingzhou was doing it for her own good, Xin Li didn't resist too much.
However, staying in the cabin was too boring, so Xinli eventually went to someone else's cabin.
We gathered a few aunties together and chatted.
Some military spouses were quite young and not very brave, so at first they just sat on the sidelines.
Later, everyone was infected by Xinli's enthusiasm, and they all sat together chatting and eating sunflower seeds every day until they got a sore throat.
The others were both amused and exasperated, and they all went to He Mingzhou to "complain."
"My wife has developed blisters on her lips these past few days. Deputy Division Commander, please have some compassion and do something for her. This can't go on!"
He Mingzhou was also at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Who knew that Xinli would have so much to say? Even though everyone spends every day together talking, she never repeats herself.
That night, when Xin Li returned home, He Mingzhou immediately hugged her, pressed her onto the bed, and asked her what she had said to those people.
"I just told them stories. They were very curious about what Shanghai was like, so I told them about some of the storybooks I had read. I think they really enjoyed listening to those."
“People have come to me complaining that you take them out to eat sunflower seeds every day, and now they’re all getting a sore throat.”
Xin Li's eyes widened: "No, is it my fault for getting a sore throat?"
What does it have to do with her? Listening to other people talk is indeed quite boring, so what's wrong with eating some sunflower seeds?
"You'd better be careful. If you corrupt those people, they'll come after me."
Upon hearing this, Xin Li became unhappy and turned over to pin He Mingzhou down: "What do you mean by that? How did I become a bad influence on them? I was just helping them relieve their boredom, don't you understand? You call me a bad influence? Eating sunflower seeds counts as a bad influence?"
"Aren't the people here a bit too fragile?"
When she was bored in the apocalypse, she even led people to kill zombies.
Isn't that more bloody and more likely to corrupt people?
He Mingzhou had no idea what Xin Li was thinking. He assumed she was saying that there was a difference between people in Shanghai and those on their island, and patted her on the back with a smile: "You should stay indoors tomorrow."
"Stop messing with other military wives; other couples also need time to spend together."
Xin Li's eyes darted around, and she finally understood the meaning behind He Mingzhou's words.
"So they think I stole their wife?"
"Hey, why are all these people so petty?"
He Mingzhou said quietly, "Actually, I'm petty too. You talk to those people much more than you talk to me."
He Mingzhou pulled the person close to him and said in an ambiguous tone, "Why don't you tell me again what you told them?"
Xin Li snorted coldly: "You wish."
