Chapter 51: Ferry Ride

In order to verify her idea, Su Ranran planted a lot of fruit seeds from the Shuiqiao Brigade.

After ten days to half a month, many seeds have grown into seedlings.

The green color was like jade. If she didn't know what she was planting, she would not have recognized it as just one of the fruit trees that could be seen everywhere in Shuiqiao Brigade.

In order to study the composition of the soil there, Su Ranran spent a lot of time studying soil science in addition to learning saline-alkali rice cultivation techniques.

Su Ranran has read this book over and over again twice. She can say that she can know what content is on each page even with her eyes closed.

She had a good memory to begin with, and after drinking space water, her body's potential seemed to have been fully tapped, and even her memory was greatly improved.

But the feeling of reading it yourself and listening to him read it is very different.

The man's voice was deep and powerful, and his magnetic voice made people feel addicted even when he was reading boring soil science.

Su Ranran looked at the man sitting opposite her in a daze.

The golden sunlight shone through the window onto the man Zhang Gangyi's face. His already deep and three-dimensional facial features seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light, giving him a kind of dignified and upright aura that made people dare not desecrate.

My heart began to feel restless again.

In the end, she didn't even know what the other person was reading, her ears were completely occupied by the magnetic voice.

The study time is once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

Shen He was not so nervous anymore, but Su Ranran felt like there was something wrong with her heart, and it kept beating wildly from time to time.

The couple sat in a berth.

In those days, sleeper berth tickets were not easy to buy. Not only were they expensive, but you also needed to have a certain social status.

Therefore, there were not many people in the sleeper compartment.

Only two people got on their booth during the journey, and they arrived at the station earlier than them.

Including changing trains along the way, the couple took a total of two days and one night to reach Qingshi Railway Station.

Just when Su Ranran was worrying about how to take away their bags of things, she saw Shen He carrying several bags in each hand with ease.

Su Ranran: …

I kind of wonder if her mother-in-law put foam in the bag?

There were quite a lot of people at the station, so Su Ranran didn't dare to be careless and kept following closely beside Shen He and Su Ranran.

She knew that she looked attractive now, so when she went out this time, she deliberately wore a women's military uniform and pulled her hat down low.

I don’t know if it’s because Shen He’s aura is too attractive, or if her clothes have an effect.

A lot of trouble was indeed avoided along the way.

After leaving the train station, the two took another bus and finally arrived at Lianning County Pier.

After the military reform, only officers above the rank of military chief can be equipped with guards.

Therefore, even though Shen He was a deputy head of the regiment, he would not be equipped with several guards like in the Anti-Japanese War TV series.

Likewise, there is no privilege to be picked up by a military vehicle when returning to the army on leave.

Su Ranran understood all of this and didn't think there was anything wrong with taking the bus.

On the contrary, Shen He was very nervous throughout the whole journey, and he looked like he would take her to the hospital at any time if she felt unwell.

Fortunately, Su Ranran was also very hardworking. Even though she had not drunk any space water, she was still in good spirits after getting off the car.

Except for his hair being a little messy and his clothes being a little wrinkled, he didn't look at all tired like a long-distance traveler.

The island where the troops are stationed is a town called Pingzhou Town, which belongs to Lianning County.

Although it is a town, it is not very large in area, and there is only one regiment of troops stationed on the island.

Although Pingzhou is a town in Lianning County, it is far away from the mainland, with only two ferries a week.

The ferry schedule is fixed and runs normally most of the time unless there is strong wind.

It's three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky is a little dark, and the ferry hasn't arrived yet.

The waiting area was just a simple shed with no benches.

There were already quite a few people standing under the shed, each of them bringing a lot of stuff, and it was obvious that they had come to the county to purchase things.

Shen He led Su Ranran into the studio.

The two of them were so outstanding in appearance that they attracted the attention of most people as soon as they approached the studio.

"Look, is that Deputy Headmaster Shen?"

Someone from the military compound saw it and couldn't help but ask the person next to him in a low voice.

"It's him." Zhong Juhua said affirmatively.

Shen He got married late, and his wife did not follow the army after he got married, so he lived in the barracks instead of in the family compound.

Logically speaking, other family members should have never seen him, or have seen him very rarely.

But Shen He was too famous in the army. Not only was he handsome, but he was also very capable.

In addition, there is only one regiment-level troop stationed on the entire island. Apart from the regiment commander and the political commissar, his rank is the highest.

It was hard for them not to know him.

"Who is standing next to him?" Lin Qiulian asked curiously.

"She's his wife, right? Didn't they say he made a report to the military?" Zhong Juhua guessed.

She is the daughter-in-law of the Third Battalion Commander Fang Libin. She loves visiting neighbors and is well-informed.

Upon hearing this, several people couldn't help but look at the slender army green figure in the distance with curiosity.

It was just too far away to see clearly, I could only vaguely see half of the face hidden by the hat.

But even half of the face was enough to make them gasp in amazement.

"Wow, Deputy Head Shen has really high standards. No wonder he hasn't gotten married for so long."

It turns out that it’s not that he doesn’t want to get married, but that he doesn’t like it.

Look at that fair and tender skin, that delicate profile, and that slim figure.

Even in military uniform, he couldn't hide his outstanding looks.

Standing next to Shen He, the two of them were a perfect match made in heaven, extremely pleasing to the eye.

"Isn't his wife from the art troupe?"

Apart from those from the art troupe, they really couldn't imagine where they could find such a beautiful girl.

Su Ranran couldn't hear the whispers of several people.

At this moment, she was staring blankly at the sea in front of her, and the nostalgia in her eyes became increasingly clear.

In fact, Su Ranran is very familiar with Lianning County.

Because in her previous life, ten years after Shen He passed away, she came to Pingzhou Town and lived there for nearly ten years.

Therefore, she is very familiar with everything here. She knows exactly what time the ferry will arrive and what delays it will cause.

The sky was dark, with dark clouds rolling in the horizon, and it looked like a heavy rain was going to come.

In the past, the ferry would not operate under such circumstances.

But there are exceptions occasionally.

Just like now, a ferry is slowly approaching the pier.

The people under the shed had already picked up the things at their feet and were queuing up to get on the boat.

Shen He was in no hurry to pick up the things.

After the boat docked, other people got on board one after another, and then Shen He carefully helped Su Ranran onto the boat.

There are rows of benches around the ship, and the middle is empty. Sometimes tractors or military vehicles will stop in the middle before crossing the sea.

There were no other cars at this time, so the middle was left empty, and most people were sitting on the benches on both sides.

At first glance it seemed that there were no seats left.

When Shen He was about to take the person to the cab, someone suddenly waved at them.

"Deputy Captain Shen, there is still room here. Bring your sister-in-law to sit here."
