Chapter 324 Arrival at the Island

When the fisherman heard this, he took out a big yellow croaker from his boat and handed it to them, saying with a smile, "I'm giving you such a big fish. Why don't you go home with me?"

Ye Ye took a look and reached out to take it. He was so happy that he said, "Okay!"

Li Zhan: "..."

Fu Nanzheng: “…”

Xiao Wen sighed, quickly pulled Ye Ye back, and said, "You still said Yao Yao was stupid, but Da Huangyu deceived you?"

Xiao Wu came over and said, "But brother, that yellow croaker is really big..."

Xiaowen: “…”

Beibei also ran over and said sternly, "Mom said you are not allowed to take other people's things! No matter how old they are!"

The fisherman took out a beautiful conch shell and said, "Beibei, this is for you!"

Beibei looked back, her eyes lit up, but she remembered that she had just said that we should not take other people's things...

Fu Nanzheng suppressed his laughter and whispered to Li Zhan: "Watch your little brats closely. If someone calls them, they will all follow them home..."

Li Zhan: "..."

After the fisherman finished teasing everyone, he laughed and said, "Grandpa is just teasing you. Here! Give the little conch to Beibei, and take the big yellow croaker home so your mother can make soup for you. And these shrimps, you can play with them too!"

As he said this, he put the big yellow croaker and a few mantis shrimps in a small bucket they brought to play with, and gave the small conch shells directly to Beibei.

After hearing this, Li Zhan and Fu Nanzheng quickly smiled and thanked him, and took out another five yuan to give to the fisherman uncle.

The fisherman refused for a long time, but finally accepted the two yuan.

Xia Juanjuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she saw that they actually brought back a big yellow croaker this time.

Yellow croakers are very expensive. Before she traveled through time, the price of a pound of wild yellow croakers in the seafood market started at 1,000 yuan. Now there are still many, and everyone doesn't have much money, so she actually exchanged such a big one for two yuan...

That night, Xia Juanjuan borrowed the guesthouse's kitchen and cooked fried fish. She also made seafood soup with scallops and mantis shrimp.

After a delay of three or four days, the boat from the island finally arrived.

The island that Lizhan was going to was called Kelp Island, named because of its long and narrow shape that resembled kelp.

The island is not very large, and in addition to the local residents, there are also aboriginals, so there is a civilian ship that travels to and from the mainland every ten days. However, the ship often stops sailing due to wind and waves.

In addition, there are occasionally military ships that, if not on secret mission patrols, will also carry civilians back and forth for free.

Xia Juanjuan and the others were waiting for the ship sent by the army. Several soldiers stationed on the island saluted Lizhan and then, together with Fu Nanzheng and Lizhan, busied themselves moving all the luggage onto the ship.

The six kids had been on trains many times before, but this was their first time on a big ship. So once they were on board, they were so excited that they almost went crazy, running around on the deck, drinking air, and giggling non-stop.

A warrior counted them and found that there were six in total, and the oldest one looked to be eight or nine years old. He was also quite shocked and couldn't help but secretly said to his companions: "Sister-in-law... he doesn't look that old, but the eldest son is already eight or nine years old? The commander got married so early... and he has given birth to six children, and the youngest is triplets. He is so fertile..."

Another soldier lowered his voice and replied, "I heard that the commander was born in the countryside, and his wife was an arranged wife. I guess he got married early, and he must have had children early too. This is normal! Don't talk nonsense!"

Xia Juanjuan had no idea what people were talking about behind her back. She was standing on the deck, in a rare good mood.

Although the weather was quite cold, feeling the sea breeze and looking at the endless sea, I felt that all my worries disappeared in an instant.

Li Zhan came over, put his military coat on her, and said with a smile: "This is just water, what's so good about it? Don't look at it, it's windy outside, go inside, or you'll catch a cold."

Xia Juanjuan rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile, "Don't you take the kids to the beach every day to watch people fishing? You still have the nerve to criticize me."

Li Zhan laughed and said, "I'm not interested in that. I'm just... trying to coax the child!"

Xia Juanjuan couldn't help laughing: "Just keep talking tough."

The soldier who came to pick them up saw this scene and couldn't help but whisper, "Isn't this an arranged marriage? Our leader seems to love his wife very much."

Another person said, "Nonsense! If my family could find me such a beautiful arranged wife and she gave birth to six children for me, I would spoil her to the heavens!"

The first person couldn't help but touch his nose and said with a smile, "That's true."

The leader's wife is so pretty! They have never seen anyone so pretty in their entire lives!

Another person laughed quietly and said, "Just wait and see. When we get to the island, all those chatterbox women will be silenced!"

After looking for a while, Xia Juanjuan still listened to Li Zhan and went in.

However, at this time, Fu Nanzheng came out.

Fu Nanzheng asked the people on the boat: "Comrade, we should pass by Emerald Island on this way, right?"

The person being asked was stunned for a moment, then said, "Yes. The route to Haikai Island must pass through Feicui Island. Most of the island is state-owned fisheries. Do you know anyone on the island?"

Fu Nanzheng said vaguely: "Well... not really. I haven't been in touch with you for many years. I don't know if you still recognize me..."

After hearing this, Xia Juanjuan was moved.

Luo Cheng seemed to have said before that Fu Nanzheng would ask him to deliver some supplies to a person on an island every once in a while.

That person was Yue Sizhu, the person Fu Nanzheng had been discussing marriage with several years ago.

However, she never asked which island it was.

Could it be... the Emerald Island?

However, since Fu Nanzheng didn't say it, she didn't mention it either.

I heard that Emerald Island is quite close to Kelp Island and is also under the jurisdiction of Kelp Island. It only takes half a day to go back and forth by fishing boat. I can ask about it after I settle down.

The boat soon arrived at the pier of Kelp Island. It was similar to the place where we set out, and there was also a lighthouse standing there.

There are two piers on the island. The one they docked at is the one used exclusively for the garrison. The troops usually depart from this pier for patrols and the like.

There is also a civilian lighthouse on the other side of the island.

After getting off the boat, a chief of staff named Zhao Jianku, who was considered a powerful subordinate among the local garrisons on the island, was already waiting with his men.

After the greetings, Zhao Jianku asked the troops to drive a jeep to take Li Zhan, Xia Juanjuan, Fu Nanzheng, and the children to their future home.

The residential area for families stationed here is all built on a slope. The island has strong winds and waves, so all the houses are bungalows, built like terraces along the slope. Each house has a small garden.

Xia Juanjuan entered the yard, which was quite unexpected. From the low wall of the yard, she could see the sea in the distance.

If this small house had not been there before she traveled through time, it would have been a perfect sea view villa, a real-life villa facing the sea with flowers blooming in the spring. Ordinary people cannot afford to live there.

However, when she entered the house, she no longer thought so.

The house is not small, with a living room, dining room, kitchen and five bedrooms of different sizes. It is definitely enough for everyone.

But there is basically nothing that can be called furniture.

Among the five bedrooms, only the master bedroom has a wooden double bed, which is not covered.

The other bedroom had two camp beds.

There was a square table and a few small stools in the living room, and nothing else.

The only consolation is that luckily there is electricity, but the power outages are frequent, just like in Qingshui Village.

After Xia Juanjuan walked around, she felt for the first time what it meant to be penniless.

Li Zhan scratched his head and said with some guilt: "The conditions here are a bit harsh...why don't you and your third brother take the children back to Beijing, and I will live in the dormitory here..."

Xia Juanjuan turned her head suddenly, glared at her angrily, and said, "I'm already here! Don't even think about sending me back!"

What's there to be afraid of if there's nothing? What's not in her space?

Anyway, the existence of space has already been told to Li Zhan, so there is no need to worry about taking out something that would cause him to doubt.

As for what to tell people outside...just say you brought it from home!

Fu Nanzheng had to take the train and was delayed at the dock on the way. His vacation was almost used up. Therefore, after sending the people to the island, he did not dare to delay. There happened to be a scheduled ship to the mainland that day, so he took a civilian ship and left.

The ship will stop at Emerald Island midway, which Fu Nanzheng had already inquired about.

As the island got closer, Fu Nanzheng's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, and his palms were full of sweat.

I haven't seen her for many years. I don't know what she looks like now, whether she is married and has children, and whether she still remembers him...

Back then, Yue Sizhu and he were so fierce that they left no way out.

He had also personally sent things over, but they were all returned the same way. Later, he found Luo Cheng and asked Luo Cheng to find a way to send some supplies to help them a little bit...

Fu Nanzheng was not sure, even if he suddenly appeared in front of her, would she... be willing to see him?

At this moment, a long whistle suddenly sounded, and then the captain shouted loudly: "We have arrived at Emerald Island! The ship will stop for 30 minutes. If you want to get off the ship, please hurry up if you have something to do. We will not wait for you if you are late!"

Fu Nanzheng hesitated, but finally got off the boat uncontrollably.

He had been here several times before, so he was familiar with the place and the roads.

He walked to a small house built on the island and saw the familiar person in his memory from a distance. She was wearing patched clothes and cooking under a small shed built outside. The wind was strong and the smoke blinded her eyes. She covered her eyes with her arms and coughed twice in pain.

Fu Nanzheng felt distressed and impulsive, and wanted to rush over to tell her that after all these years, he still hadn't forgotten her and was still waiting for her.

But before she could go out, she saw a man coming out of the hut and talking to her concernedly...
