Chapter 80 Whether or not I can stay in the army is still a question

Cao Zhifang is a rough guy, how could he notice that there was anything wrong with Yan Yixing's mood?

Shen He thought it was just because of what happened just now, so he didn't say anything, and just said to the two of them, "Let's go."

Yan Yixing nodded, said nothing, and walked away first.

Seeing him like this, Cao Zhifang seemed to suddenly realize that something was wrong.

He walked up quickly, patted Yan Yixing on the shoulder and said, "Old Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Yixing is a smiling tiger, and he always has a smiling face.

But ever since Liu Hong came to the island, he smiled less and less.

"Did you quarrel with Liu Hong again?" Cao Zhifang guessed.

Hearing this, Yan Yixing seemed to have just come to his senses, with a bitter smile on his face. He said, "It was her first time to Pingzhou Island. She had never seen such a strong typhoon and was frightened."

Although Shen He was present at the scene just now, Yan Yixing still didn't want to let others know.

He can't afford to lose this person!

Cao Zhifang naturally didn't believe that Liu Hong was frightened and Yan Yixing would have this reaction.

But he obviously didn't want to say it, and it would be rude of him to ask again.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhifang could only laugh it off and change the subject.

However, Yan Yixing was filled with uncontrollable regret.

If I had married Liu Hong instead of...

This thought flashed through his mind again, but was suppressed by Yan Yixing.

Knowing this in advance is priceless.

The three of them soon arrived at the military camp.

In the barracks, the soldiers had already rested, but when they heard the assembly horn, they reflexively got up from their beds.

Although no one understood why they had to gather so late, the most important thing for soldiers was to obey orders, and no one would ask why.

When they learned that they were going to dig hydroponic ponds to grow vegetables, they all became excited.

Although I don't understand what it is, since my superiors can mobilize so many people to do it, it is likely to be successful.

At the thought of being able to eat other vegetables in the future, the soldiers were all eager to try.

I wish I could create a hydroponic pond right away.

After the assembly, the order was given and the soldiers picked up hoes, shovels and dustpans and started to work.

It only took one night to dig out a hydroponic pond the size of a swimming pool.

The next day, the news of hydroponic water spinach spread back to the family compound, and the whole family compound was in an uproar.

"Have you heard? Sister Su is going to grow water spinach in water." Sun Hongmei went to Li Lanru to gossip early in the morning.

"Why haven't I heard about it? The troops have even dug a pond, right next to the South Island base on that empty lot."

Li Lanru went to the South Island base before dawn to see how her sweet potatoes were doing, but she saw a regiment of soldiers gathering and preparing to return to the barracks.

They also dug a huge pit next to it and put a lot of water in it.

After asking around, I found out that Su Ranran wanted to use water directly to grow water spinach.

Hearing this, Sun Hongmei's face was full of disbelief.

"Just water? No soil?"

This somewhat subverted her thinking.

In her opinion, how can crops be grown without soil? Isn't it a joke to use water to grow crops?

For a while, everyone in the family compound was talking about it.

Zhong Juhua and several military wives who were on good terms with her went directly to the house to inquire about the news.

"It's true. I have germinated the seeds. I will have to ask my sisters-in-law for help later."

At that time, Su Ranran had already taken out the seeds in the space, wrapped them in wet cloth, and spread them all over the kitchen.

When Zhong Juhua lifted the cloth, her mouth suddenly opened into an O shape.

"Ran...Ranran, where do you get so many seeds?"

Su Ranran pursed her lips and smiled, "I've heard from my husband Shen about the situation on the island a long time ago. My mother happened to have a professor friend who did research in this area, so I started to collect water spinach seeds early on."

After hearing this, Zhong Juhua suddenly understood.

No wonder she was able to grow Chinese spinach as soon as she arrived. It turned out that her mother was a professor and she had been surrounded by such knowledgeable people since she was a child.

If I work harder, won't I be much better than them?

The military wives who came with her all looked at Su Ranran differently.

"Ranran, can this water spinach really be planted directly in water?"

Some people still find it incredible and seek confirmation once again.

Su Ranran did not hide this, but gave them a brief introduction to the hydroponic technology.

The more the military wives listened, the brighter their eyes became!

"So, in the future, we can grow crops directly at home using water?"

This is great news for them.

Although Pingzhou Island is all sand and reefs, there is no shortage of fresh water resources.

If water spinach can be grown in water, will they still have to worry about not having vegetables to eat in the future?

"That's the theory, but we'll know in a few days whether it works or not."

Having said that, the military wives who have heard her introduction have all believed that her method will definitely work!

"Ranran, let me help you pick up some straw."

Zhong Juhua can't wait to see the test results.

"And me, I'm really good at editing things." Cao Yuhong also raised her hand.

The other military wives were equally unwilling to lag behind and were eager to try to help Su Ranran.

Wang Chunmei, who was standing at the door, looked at the woman who was surrounded by so many stars, her eyes filled with amazement.

In this strange world, if a woman has the ability, she should just use it without worrying about what others say.

This is something Wang Chunmei would never dare to dream of.

It turns out that they can live such a free life.

Since coming here, Wang Chunmei has been in a state of amazement and disbelief for the past two days.

It can be said that apart from Zhang Xinrong, there is nothing about this place that makes her dissatisfied.

Seeing them all raising their hands, Wang Chunmei also plucked up the courage to go in.

"Sister-in-law...Ranran, I want to help you too."

Hearing this, the military wives all turned to look at her in surprise.

Wang Chunmei has been acting a little strange these past two days. Not only does she say hello to them, she also sometimes chats with them.

Now I actively participate in group activities.

She is completely different from the timid girl in the past.

Wang Chunmei froze when she saw their surprised looks, fearing that she had let something slip again.

But it is impossible for her to always hide from everyone like the original Wang Chunmei.

Since there are no such rules here, she doesn't want to be a woman trapped in the house anymore.

"That's great. I was worried about not having enough manpower!" Su Ranran said to her with a smile.

Hearing this, Wang Chunmei breathed a sigh of relief.

The other military wives also seemed to have just come to their senses and started talking to Wang Chunmei affectionately.

Originally, they had no conflicts, but she had always avoided them.

Now Wang Chunmei is finally willing to come out, and the military wives are also willing to show goodwill to her.

Here, a group of military wives were going out in a bustling manner to collect straw, while on the other side, Lu Haiyan was looking at the empty kitchen with a frown on her face.

It had been two days since the typhoon, but she still hadn't found anything she dropped on the road.

The only two bags that Chen Weidong found were only filled with clothes, and there was not a penny left in them.

What's worse is that her man's leg injury is serious, and it is questionable whether he can continue to stay in the army.
