It seemed as if he couldn't believe that a sound could come from inside.
This is not surprising.
Tape recorders did not become fully popular until the early 1990s.
In the 1970s, if a family could own a machine like this, they were considered very wealthy.
It was just her first time operating this thing.
You can only press the buttons according to the instructions above, and you will hear a crackling sound after turning it on.
Soon, a melodious and cheerful revolutionary song came out from inside.
It was very loud at first.
The little guy was frightened and hid far away.
Lin Jiaojiao lowered her voice before pulling them closer.
"Don't be afraid, you can adjust the volume by adjusting this, and there's also this button, which you can press to change channels."
The little ones were half confused, but they soon became interested in the music.
They excitedly held hands and danced around.
Seeing how happy they were, Lin Jiaojiao stopped disturbing them.
After a quick wash, he set his sights on the large piece of idle land in the backyard.
She noticed that both Li Wenying's family and Zhang Xiuqin's family had turned their backyards into vegetable gardens.
This is really good and can save a lot of money.
However, turning the entire area into a vegetable garden is not only unsightly but also inconvenient to walk around.
After Lin Jiaojiao measured the approximate area of the entire yard, she went into the bedroom to plan the blueprint.
I just keep planning and planning, but it always seems troublesome!
Now she actually misses Lin Jinbao a little.
If that silly boy were here, these tasks could be handed over to him.
Save yourself the trouble of doing it yourself!
Lin Jiaojiao was planning in the backyard with a blueprint.
Suddenly, I heard a noise coming from above: "Jiaojiao, what are you doing?"
Following the sound, Lin Jiaojiao looked over and was surprised to see Zhang Xiuqin waving at him from the rooftop. "Aunt Xiuqin, why are you there?"
"I'm drying vegetables here, and you're wandering around in the backyard. What are you doing? Come up here and talk to me!"
Sun-dried vegetables?
Lin Jiaojiao immediately became interested and went around through the back door.
There is a ladder in front of the back room.
“Be careful!”
Lin Jiaojiao was pulled to the roof by Zhang Xiuqin, and a gust of sea breeze blew towards her.
A variety of dried vegetables were drying on the entire flat roof.
There was a large blanket in the middle.
There was a wooden chopping board on the blanket, and next to the board were two large frames containing potatoes and radishes.
Standing on the roof and looking up, you can see the endless sea and the people playing and having fun on the shore.
The wind from afar brought moist and fresh air.
“It’s so beautiful here!”
"It's quite beautiful. When I have nothing to do, I like to stand here and feel the sea breeze. You sit there and wait for a while!"
"..." Lin Jiaojiao was puzzled. Before she could ask, she saw Zhang Xiuqin running down excitedly.
I ran back and forth twice.
Got some biscuits and made a pot of tea.
"Try it now! I put some citrus peel in this tea. It's very good for cooling down!"
“It tastes good.”
Seeing that Lin Jiaojiao liked it so much, Zhang Xiuqin smiled and continued to deal with the dishes in her hands.
"Why do you get so much sun?"
"Although this vegetable garden isn't very big, it's never cold here year-round. The fruits take a long time to ripen, so there's a lot left. If we leave them like this, they'll definitely go bad. It's better to dry them all out in the sun. That way, we can eat them whenever we want. You can try this method too!"
“That’s really good.”
Lin Jiaojiao sat cross-legged on the blanket, drinking tea and admiring the beautiful scenery, occasionally chatting with Zhang Xiuqin next to her.
I just felt that this experience was fresh and peaceful!
It's completely different from the busy life in my previous life.
"By the way, I also want to ask you, how did you make the braised pork yesterday? You don't even know. My husband Zhou has been praising your cooking since he came home. He even told me this morning that he wanted me to learn from you."
"It's not difficult. If you want to learn, I'll list the specific steps and ingredients for you. You can just use it whenever you want!"
Zhang Xiuqin was pleasantly surprised: "That's great!"
Seeing her happy, Lin Jiaojiao also started chatting: "Speaking of which, I also have something to ask Sister Xiuqin."
"Don't be so polite with me! You're a little girl coming to this island and you're unfamiliar with the place. Huai'an is busy with the team all day. If you have anything to say, just ask me!"
"Thank you, Auntie. I wanted to ask about my child's schooling. Xiaoxue is already six years old this year and should have started school a long time ago."
"So that's what's going on." Zhang Xiuqin said seriously, "As you know, according to the current national policy, if Xiaoxue wants to go to school at her age, she must first go to the Yuhong class."
"I know this, but I'm not familiar with anywhere. I don't know where to sign up?"
"Don't worry about that, I'll help you find a solution!"
Lin Jiaojiao said with gratitude: "Thank you so much, Auntie!"
"You are so polite. But now that you have time, go to the Women's Federation and sign up."
"What is this?"
"This is a privilege given to us military families. You'll have to register a form. Everything else is unimportant. The only thing that matters is your education level. I heard from Huai'an that you graduated from high school."
"yes."
"That's great! After the wedding, if you get bored at home and want to go to work, you can ask them to help find and arrange it."
"Okay, I'll go in a couple of days, but work matters may have to wait for a while. I want to make arrangements for the wedding and the two children first."
In fact, Lin Jiaojiao had thought about this problem before going to the island.
It's just that I was busy when I first arrived on the island and didn't have time to inquire.
Although Ji Huaian is indeed a good person, she has been independent since she was a child and does not want to rely on others for support.
There are still a few years before the college entrance examination.
She couldn't just wait like this. In addition to making good use of her time to review, the most important thing was to find a suitable job.
Zhang Xiuqin nodded in agreement: "Your consideration is correct. After all, Xiaofeng is still young. You have to make arrangements for him before you can work with peace of mind. Speaking of which, you are really good to these two children."
“That’s what should be done.”
It was almost noon when I returned from Zhang Xiuqin's house.
In the living room, both little ones seemed to have lost interest in the tape recorder.
One was lying on the ground playing with marbles.
The other one was lying on the low table, drawing something with a pen.
Lin Jiaojiao sat over and took a look, feeling a little surprised.
Ji Linxue noticed the noise and quickly stopped writing. Seeing Lin Jiaojiao looking at her painting, she reached out to block it: "It's not pretty!"
"No, Auntie thinks it looks good."
"..." Ji Linxue stared at Lin Jiaojiao in disbelief: "Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
After hearing the affirmative answer again, Ji Linxue shyly handed the painting in her hand to Lin Jiaojiao.
