The group left the train station, where Zhang Shun was already waiting for them at the bus stop.
Upon seeing them arrive, I quickly went to greet them.
"Sisters, you must be tired from your journey. Please get in the car and I'll help you carry your things."
The family compound is all ready and waiting for you to arrive.
We're going to be on a boat later, are any of you ladies seasick?
Song Dandan chuckled.
How are we supposed to answer that question?
"None of us have ever been on a boat, how would we know if we get seasick?"
Everyone burst out laughing at this. They had never been on a boat before and had no idea what seasickness was like.
Jiang Wenwan never got seasick in her past life, so she probably won't get seasick in this one either, right?
"Then why don't you ladies get in the car first, and I'll go buy you some oranges? If you're seasick, eating some oranges will help."
Aunt Jiang exclaimed in surprise:
"I must say, Zhang Shun is getting better and better at handling things."
Buying oranges is fine!
"We can only eat oranges during the Lunar New Year each year. Here, are they readily available?"
"That's right, there's plenty of fruit here too!"
Once the sisters-in-law are settled in the family compound, they can come over here for a stroll.
They have all sorts of things here, much more than back home.
The women's wallets are going to suffer!
"Hey, this kid, I've never seen him this active before?"
"Is it because Zhou Ying was promoted to deputy regimental commander that this kid started acting all high and mighty?"
Jiang Wenwan turned to look at the aunt who was speaking; she was from the Third Battalion Commander's family.
The auntie smiled awkwardly when she saw her looking over.
"Don't overthink it, I didn't mean anything by it."
"It's a good thing that Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou has been promoted!"
Jiang Wenwan nodded.
"Don't worry, I didn't think much of it."
Once we go to the family quarters over there, they should set aside a separate area for us.
If we're not united, won't we become a laughingstock?
Yes, yes!
Song Dandan immediately agreed with her.
“I agree with that. We’re going there now, and we’re unfamiliar with the place. We’ll have to figure everything out gradually.”
To others, we are all in the same group.
If we are not united and loving, we will be laughed at and bring shame to the men in our family!
You wouldn't want to embarrass your husbands in the family quarters, would you?
"Look at what you're saying, who would want to embarrass their own man?"
Alright, alright, whether or not someone gets promoted isn't up to us.
We all know that Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou has been commended for his merits many times.
Not to mention, even that dog has performed several great deeds!
"That's a wolf!"
Sister-in-law Qi corrected her.
Aunt Jiang rolled her eyes at her.
"I didn't know it was a wolf, but isn't it because others didn't know?"
Only we ourselves know this. If we don't tell them, how would they know?
From now on, let's all keep our mouths shut when we're together, and not gossip about everyone's business.
Everyone nodded and started talking all at once.
"Okay, okay."
A short while later, Zhang Shun bought a bag of oranges and put it in the car.
The driver took them to the dock.
When we arrive at the dock, we will need to change boats.
Zhang Shun also bought a bunch of oil paper packages this time.
Once on the ship, they were handed out to each of them.
"Each person receives an orange wrapped in oil paper."
"Well done, kid! You've done all of my old Lu's work!"
And they did a really good job, which deserves praise!
What's the purpose of this bag?
Are you afraid we'll throw up?
Zhang Shun scratched his head and laughed:
"Sister-in-law, you're absolutely right. These are all things that Political Commissar Lü instructed me to do."
If it were up to me, I really wouldn't have thought of that many things.
The political commissar said he was worried you'd throw up on the boat, so he gave each of you a bag.
Then each person gets an orange.
Smelling oranges can help alleviate seasickness.
"I'm so sorry to have troubled you. They just went there for training. Was it tough?"
Hearing Song Dandan's question, Zhang Shun nodded.
"It was so hard, I was in the water almost every day."
When I came to pick you up, they were still soaking in the water!
"What's that for?"
When some military wives didn't understand, Zhang Shun explained it to them.
“We used to be a cavalry company, so we were top-notch on land. Now we are this.”
He gave a thumbs up as he spoke.
Then, looking dejected, he said:
"But now that we're here, if we want to set up camp on the island, we need to be able to swim."
Many soldiers in the regiment were not good swimmers, and some were even complete landlubbers who couldn't swim at all.
This means you have to train. You not only need to know how to swim, but also how to hold your breath, and even how to fight in the sea. There's a lot to learn.
Upon hearing how hard it was, everyone was amazed.
Jiang Wenwan focused her attention on eating.
"This must be so tiring. How was your meal?"
Is the nutrition adequate?
Zhang Shun sighed, saying that it was a complicated matter to explain.
"It's alright. I didn't like it at first, but I'll get used to it after a few more meals."
However, some soldiers are allergic to seafood.
None of us in the group had ever eaten seafood before, and we didn't know that seafood could cause allergies.
"What? You can be allergic to seafood?"
"Then let's not eat seafood?"
"We've already transferred the comrades who are allergic to seafood to other places."
As they talked on the boat, glancing at the surrounding sea, one of the women immediately reacted.
"Oh no, I feel a little dizzy."
"Tell me, I get seasick just looking at this seawater."
Then one by one, half of the 10 people got seasick.
