On the way home after dinner, the night was peaceful, and the sound of waves in the distance was like a gentle lullaby.
The moon, hanging in the sky, cast its silvery light, stretching the two people's shadows long.
Gu Mingyue held Lu Lin's hand, feeling warm inside.
She looked up at the full moon and whispered, "The night on the island is so beautiful."
Lu Lin held her hand, hoping that this time could last longer, and that he could hold her hand and walk with her forever.
The next morning, Gu Mingyue was still fast asleep when she was suddenly awakened by a loud bugle call.
Lu Lin quickly reached out to cover her ears, but the sound had already entered them.
Gu Mingyue's mind went blank. She rubbed her eyes and asked in confusion, "What is that sound? Is it a horn?"
Lu Lin explained, "It's the military's reveille, which is sounded every day at this time to remind everyone to get up and train."
The horn blasts soon stopped, and the room returned to silence.
Lu Lin smiled and bent down to tuck the blanket around her: "It's still early, sleep a little longer."
Gu Mingyue shook her head: "I can't sleep."
Since arriving in this era, her daily routine has become healthier. She stretched in bed and said with a smile, "Get up, are we tidying up the yard today?"
Although the courtyard looks tidy, there are many things that need to be adjusted, and vegetables and flowers still need to be planted.
Lu Lin smiled and waved his hand: "No rush, I borrowed a vehicle from the army, let's go to the county town."
Gu Mingyue's eyes lit up: "Go to the county town? Can we go for a walk around there?"
"Mm." Lu Lin nodded.
There's a county town on the other side of the island. When it's inconvenient to go out to sea, people go there to buy things.
"I happen to have some free time today, so I'll take you to see it."
Gu Mingyue immediately became excited: "Great! I also want to see what the county town on the island looks like."
Their most important task during this trip to the county town was to buy three turns and one sound device.
In this day and age, weddings are associated with three turns and one sound.
The so-called "three turns and one sound" refers to a sewing machine, a bicycle, a watch, and a radio.
This is not only a necessity of life, but also a symbol of dignity for newlyweds.
Lu Lin had long ago made up his mind that he would make sure Gu Mingyue had everything that others had.
Lu Lin told his wife to wait at home while he went to the military camp to get the borrowed car.
Knowing that it would be a long way to get to the county town, Lu Lin stopped by the canteen to get breakfast and had something to eat.
After having breakfast, the two tidied up quickly and went out.
The car drove along the coastal road, with the boundless sea stretching out the window. The sea breeze blew in through the window, carrying a salty smell.
“When we get to the county town, I’ll take you to eat the most famous seafood noodles at the state-run restaurant,” Lu Lin said.
Gu Mingyue smiled and nodded: "Okay, but when we come back, we need to buy some things to decorate our home more beautifully."
Lu Lin turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of doting: "I'll do whatever you say."
The car arrived in the county town quickly.
Compared to the tranquility of the island, this place is much more lively.
The street was lined with shops, with signs that read "State-run Restaurant," "Supply and Marketing Cooperative," and "Post Office."
"Let's go eat noodles first." Seeing that she hadn't eaten much for breakfast and was worried that she would be hungry, Lu Lin led Gu Mingyue into a state-run restaurant.
"Their seafood noodles are plentiful and delicious."
Although it wasn't mealtime, the restaurant was quite crowded, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of seafood.
The menu hanging on the wall is filled with all kinds of seafood noodles.
Lu Lin ordered two bowls of seafood noodles, paid and gave the receipt, then found a seat to wait.
Soon, two steaming bowls of seafood noodles were served.
The noodles are golden, and the soup contains prawns, scallops, and squid, making it very appealing.
Gu Mingyue took a sip of the soup, and her eyes immediately lit up: "It's so delicious!"
This was the best seafood noodles she had ever eaten; it was purely flavorful and fresh, without any fishy smell.
Lu Lin knew she loved meat, so he picked out the meat from his bowl and gave it to her.
Gu Mingyue quickly covered the bowl, "If you give it to me, you won't have any left to eat. You should eat quickly."
Lu Lin smiled and said, "I don't like it, you eat more."
Gu Mingyue looked at him with a skeptical look: "Really? Last time you said braised pork was your favorite."
Without a word, Gu Mingyue forcefully suppressed his movements.
Lu Lin smiled helplessly and had no choice but to eat it himself.
The seafood noodles were a large portion, and Gu Mingyue looked at the noodles in her bowl, realizing she couldn't possibly finish them.
She glanced at Lu Lin somewhat embarrassedly: "I can't finish it."
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Lin took her bowl and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll eat it for you."
Gu Mingyue hurriedly waved her hand: "But it's all covered in my saliva."
"This is nothing, it's not like I've never eaten this before." Lu Lin lowered his head and started eating, as if it were just an ordinary thing.
Gu Mingyue almost choked on her saliva when she heard his words.
This person is really something, saying it out loud in broad daylight.
After finishing their noodles, the two began to stroll around the county town.
Although the county town is larger than the residential compound, there are still not many things to do. There is only one street, and basically everyone's activity area is fixed in this area.
Lu Lin drove his car to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Before even entering the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, Gu Mingyue could tell that it was much larger than the one in the family compound.
The county town's supply and marketing cooperative is a two-story building, filled with all kinds of goods.
There were quite a few people buying things, and Lu Lin instructed Gu Mingyue to follow closely.
The two of them couldn't have much contact outside, so they had to maintain a just-right distance.
