"Xinyue, Captain Sheng, you are finally back." Xu Jinling stood at the gate and began to wave and shout from a distance.

"Auntie Xu, why are you here? Come in and sit down first." Zhan Xinyue came over briskly without carrying the bucket, took out the key, opened the iron gate, and invited Xu Jinling to come in and sit for a while.

"No, I have to go back to cook. My husband, Chen, saw that you were new to the island and was worried that you would have nothing to eat, so he asked me to bring you some vegetables. They are all grown at home. Let me know when you are done eating and I will send you more."

"There are also about twenty oysters that I picked up when I went to the sea."

Xu Jinling picked up a vegetable basket and a small bucket from the ground. In the basket were green peppers, chili peppers, eggplants, beans, cucumbers, water spinach, and Chinese cabbage. They were green with a hint of shiny purple and looked very fresh.

The small bucket contained oysters and some mantis shrimps.

"How can this be so embarrassing?" Zhan Xinyue said.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? The vegetables are grown at home and the oysters are picked. They're free. Take them. Don't be polite with my aunt." Xu Jinling stuffed the vegetable basket to Zhan Xinyue.

Zhan Xinyue picked up the basket, looked at the vegetables inside, weighed them, and immediately realized that the weight was wrong.

I looked inside and saw a piece of bacon and a bacon pig's trotter under the basket.

"Auntie, we'll take the vegetables and oysters, but you can take the meat and pig's trotters back and eat them yourself."

Zhan Xinyue took out the bacon and pork trotters and handed them to Xu Jinling. Meat was hard to buy these days, and without meat coupons, it was impossible for her to eat meat for every meal even as the chief of staff.

"I'm from Shuangxi City. I smoked this bacon myself. I know you and Tunan are from Hunan Province, so I brought it here. I know you like it, too."

Xu Jinling refused to take it, turned around and walked away, saying as she walked, "My husband Chen has high blood pressure now, and the doctor told him to eat less bacon. My two sons are serving in the army in other places, and it would be a waste if I can't finish it all by myself. You keep it, don't be polite to my aunt."

The protagonist is Zhan Xinyue, who is handsome and graceful, and Xu Jinling fell in love with her at first sight.

What's more important is that Zhan Xinyue didn't despise her at all for being an uneducated rural woman. Most of the wives of soldiers in the army are from the city. Some are teachers or doctors, and some are from art troupes. They are educated, so they have a common language when they get together and can talk about work and ideals.

Xu Jinling also got together with them a few times in the beginning. Although she was talkative and never dulled the mood, it was obvious that the other military wives all thought she was uncouth and unsophisticated and that they could not get along with her.

Every time she started talking, the family just smiled politely and didn't talk in depth.

Zhan Xinyue was different. She also came from the countryside, but she looked fairer than the girls in the city, spoke sweetly, and was sparkling and lovable. Xu Jinling simply liked to feed Zhan Xinyue meat.

"Auntie, wait, bring some sea cucumbers and crabs back to eat. We just picked up a lot."

Sheng Tunan poured all the oysters onto the ground, put a few crabs and a dozen sea cucumbers into the empty bucket, and handed it to Xu Jinling.

"Okay, I'll make sea cucumber soup for Lao Chen." Xu Jinling has a cheerful personality and is not polite. She smiled warmly while carrying the bucket. "Xinyue, are you going to the grocery store tomorrow? I have a car and can take you there."

Zhan Xinyue nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, auntie, to add some small things to the house."

"Okay, then I'll pick you up at 8:30 tomorrow morning." Xu Jinling and Zhan Xinyue agreed on a time, and humming "The sun sets in the west, the clouds fly, and the soldiers return home with glory after shooting," she walked back in stride.

"Auntie Xu is such a nice person." Zhan Xinyue was carrying a basket of vegetables and meat. After living for two lifetimes, she could still tell whether someone was really nice to her.

"Yeah. Simple-minded and straightforward." Sheng Tunan commented, picking up the oysters on the ground one by one and putting them back into the bucket.

"Wife, can I eat all the oysters tonight?"

"Eat if you want. I don't like the taste of oysters, but you can have them all." Zhan Xinyue said nonchalantly. She could make a dish of stir-fried pork with chili peppers in the evening. She had just left Hunan Province and was beginning to miss the taste of her hometown.

"No, wife, I mean I eat all the oysters at night. Yes, I eat oysters." Sheng Tunan emphasized the word "oysters".

Zhan Xinyue is a Chinese medicine practitioner. She knows that oysters are rich in protein, zinc, taurine, etc., which can promote the secretion of male hormones and have the effect of nourishing the kidneys and strengthening the sun.

Zhan Xinyue's face turned red as she couldn't help but recall her wedding night. This damn man was so strong even without eating oysters, what would happen after he ate oysters?

She coughed twice and pretended to be calm, "Don't eat too much of anything. Eat three today and eat the rest tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Okay." Sheng Tunan smiled, "I also like the idea of ​​a steady stream of love, with a long future ahead of us."

The man who had endured two lifetimes of indulging in adultery tasted the sweetness and wanted to do it every day.

For dinner, Sheng Tu went down to the kitchen and made fried bacon with chili peppers, steamed egg with sea cucumber, vermicelli with oysters and garlic, and steamed swimming crabs. He then separated the stems and leaves of the water spinach and stir-fried the leaves, and also stir-fried the stems of the water spinach with fermented black beans and chili peppers.

There are six dishes, which looks like a lot, but in fact, except for the fried pork with pepper and water spinach stems, they are all light and do not require rice. Sheng Tunan has a large rice appetite and finished all six dishes. The CD action started from the beginning.

After dinner, they went for a walk. Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan discussed planting flowers in the yard first, and then she would go to the town to find a storefront to open a small clinic.

In 1977, the government was ready to reform and open up, and the proposal was passed, but it had not yet been decided where to start the trial.

The country is too powerful, and policy changes need to be made with great caution.

However, the people in the military area must have known about this policy. Besides, the island was somewhat isolated from the world. After the wives of the military came to the island, some of them became teachers and medical staff, while the rest who were too busy would go to the town to do some small business. Some set up stalls to sell tea eggs, breakfast, and even tailor.

Brigade Commander Li would not care if the economy of the island could be boosted in a small area, as he knew that the policy would definitely be implemented in more than a year. Instead, he took care of the business of the military wives several times.

"Sure, I fully support my daughter-in-law's career." The town is not far from the military area, so I can go home every day. In addition, there are soldiers checking the island when entering and leaving, so it is relatively safe. Generally, no bad guys come in.

"You don't need a medical license yet, but it should be no problem to get one." Zhan Xinyue's plan is to open a clinic in the next two years and then start a company in 1979. She wants to build a world-class pharmaceutical company to benefit terminally ill patients.

In her previous life, traditional Chinese medicine was suppressed everywhere. Cancer drugs and critical illness drugs developed by Western pharmaceutical companies were extremely expensive. Before her death, she was hospitalized, and she felt very sad when she saw the desperate eyes of cancer patients and the crying of guilt of their relatives because they had no money.

In her previous life, when she died, the country's military strength was not strong. The most fundamental reason was the problem of money. Equipment cost money, wear and tear cost money, training good scientific and technological personnel cost money, and retaining scientific and technological personnel cost even more money.

There are some scientific and technological people who are very patriotic. For the sake of the country, they give up the favorable treatment and living environment abroad, and return to China to make contributions despite all kinds of difficulties. Such people are great.

There are also some ordinary people who, after studying abroad, are tempted by the high salaries in developed countries and never come back.

Zhan Xinyue has experience in business in her previous life, and she is sure that she can make a lot of money in this life. She wants to run a school and do scientific research. Now that she has a chance to be reborn, in addition to enjoying love and life, she also wants to make some contributions to the country and the people.

A country with a strong military will not be invaded by other countries, and its people will not have to worry about expensive medicine when they are sick and can live and work in peace and contentment. This is a truly prosperous country and a strong people.
