Chapter 105: Getting a Big Deal

The news that the hydroponic Chinese cabbage seedlings had survived spread throughout the army that day.

The entire army and the family compound were in an uproar!

Anyone who has stayed in Pingzhou Island for a long time cannot fail to know what this means.

Cao Zhifang was so excited that he pulled Shen He and praised him repeatedly.

"You married a good wife! You have such a bad taste!"

She solved such a big problem for the troops as soon as she arrived. He dared to say that after the ship was open to navigation, the division would definitely commend her.

However, Shen He, who was being dragged along for praise, had a noticeably darker smile.

But Cao Zhifang is a thick-skinned person to begin with, and he is so happy that he doesn't know what to do. How can you tell whether he is happy or not?

Besides, Shen He has no expression whether he is happy or not, so who knows what he is thinking?

If his wife had achieved such a great success, he would have to treat everyone in the family compound to a meal.

After a lot of praise, Cao Zhi finally remembered to answer Shen He's question.

"You mean Lao Yan? He went to Sifang Island the day before yesterday and hasn't come back yet."

It turns out that there is a smaller island less than ten nautical miles away from Pingzhou Island.

The day before yesterday, soldiers from Sifang Island came in a small boat to ask for support, so Yan Yixing led a few soldiers to investigate the situation.

After that, Cao Zhifang asked curiously, "What do you want to see him about?"

Hearing this, Shen He's eyes once again flashed with a trace of gloom. After a pause, he said, "It's just a private matter. Let's talk about it when he comes back."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Cao Zhifang didn't ask any more questions.

He mentioned the situation of Sifang Island to Shen He again.

"I heard from the young soldier that their island suffered heavy losses."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhifang was a little puzzled.

Clearly, their weather station had immediately reported the typhoon to the county and even to Beijing. How could Sifang Island still suffer such heavy losses?

Not only were there casualties, but a lot of food was also lost.

Shen He did not find this result surprising. After all, evacuating villagers has never been an easy task.

"We will have to wait until Lao Yan comes back to discuss the specific support."

If there is a situation on Brother Island, they will definitely go to provide support.

However, most of the ships on the island were damaged to varying degrees, and the ship that the soldiers brought over could not accommodate so many people.

If they wanted to get there, they had to use their own boats. Although their boats were not big enough, they were big enough to reach Sifang Island for rescue.

Fortunately, there is a maintenance engineer on the island, who is now leading a team of soldiers to repair the ship.

Just wait for Yan Yixing to come back, quickly formulate an aid plan, and then set out for the rescue.

"Okay, I'll go back first."

Without staying long, Shen He left in a hurry, just as abruptly as he came.

Cao Zhifang found it a little strange, but didn't think much about it.

…

On the other hand, Su Ranran, who had just returned to the family compound with several military wives, saw a large group of military wives waiting at her door from a distance before she even entered the house.

Seeing that each of them was holding something in their hands, Su Ranran suddenly had a bad feeling.

Just when he was hesitating whether to leave first, he was stopped by Li Lanru.

"Ranran, these are the clams our kids picked up. You can take them home and make soup with them. They are very delicious."

Lin Qiulian also passed the basket in her hand over, "Ranran, these are oysters. They are very good for pregnant women."

"And these shrimps make the porridge fresh and sweet."

…

For a moment, Su Ranran had the illusion that she was back in the Shuiqiao Brigade.

"No, no, keep it for yourselves."

But how could she, alone, win over so many military wives?

The man didn't waste any time, he just put the things he brought in the yard and left.

Su Ranran wanted to stop it but couldn't.

Looking at the pile of seafood on the ground, Su Ranran was a little confused.

Recalling the scene of being chased and fed in the Shuiqiao Brigade, she couldn't help but shudder.

When the military wives get passionate, it's really unbearable!

As soon as Shen He returned home, he saw his wife looking worried.

"What's wrong?"

Now in Shen He's heart, Su Ranran is just a fragile porcelain doll. Seeing her expression was wrong, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Seeing him coming back, Su Ranran's eyes lit up, as if she had seen a savior.

She pulled him directly to the water tank and pointed to the pile of various seafood on the ground.

"These were given to me by my sister-in-law and her friends. What should I do with them?"

When she was in Shuiqiao Brigade, Su Ranran would hide and push things away whenever she could, and she didn’t dare to accept other people’s things at all.

But the military wives seemed to know that she would definitely refuse. Not only did they make an appointment to come together, but they also didn't say anything else. They just put down their things and left. She had no way of refusing.

Shen He found it a little funny to see her so embarrassed and pitiful.

He rubbed her little head, paused, and then said, "You can take it. It's okay. They were all picked up by the sea. You can give them some rapeseed."

Su Ranran: …

"Wouldn't that be too much of an advantage?"

Although I know there is a shortage of good rapeseed here, letting her exchange that little bit of rapeseed for so much seafood is, no matter how you look at it, taking advantage of others.

“No, they will be happy.”

My wife probably doesn’t realize it yet, but she has now become a master of vegetable growing techniques on Pingzhou Island.

They were so happy to get her seeds.

After all, she not only grew Chinese chrysanthemum, but also successfully grew water spinach in water.

Any one of these alone would be enough to cause three earthquakes in Pingzhou Island.

After hearing what he said, Su Ranran was no longer bothered.

Instead, I'm worried about what to eat tonight?

Seeing that she had shifted her attention, Shen He felt relieved.

But when he thought of what he had accidentally heard at the back of the house at noon, a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.

Thinking that someone was secretly plotting against his wife without his knowledge, Shen He's eyes became even colder.

How sensitive is Su Ranran? She immediately noticed that Shen He was in a bad mood.

"What's the matter?"

As she spoke, she no longer cared about the pile of seafood and instead started to care about her man.

Meeting her concerned gaze, Shen He's heart softened like a pool of water.

But it’s not a good idea to tell her directly about Liu Hong’s matter now.

After thinking about it, Shen He mentioned that they might go to Sifang Island tomorrow.

"The boat will be repaired tomorrow. I have asked Mrs. Zhong and the others to look after you. You should go to the hydroponic base alone."

Su Ranran knew that he was frightened by what happened that day, so she didn't refuse. Instead, she assured him seriously, "Don't worry, I will go with them and will never act alone."

As she spoke, she lowered her voice and showed Shen He her little gadget that could both protect herself and not be easily noticed.

Seeing that she had a plan in mind, Shen He finally felt relieved.

Sure enough, Yan Yixing returned from Sifang Island that night.

Shen He said a few words to Su Ranran in a hurry and then went to the army for a meeting.
