In mid-November 1971, it had been more than three months since they arrived on the island. The temperature in other places might drop to single digits, but Qiongzhou Island had just entered a very comfortable season.

You could still wear skirts and short sleeves... you could say it was similar to summer in other places.

Although the temperature was high, there was a sea breeze. As long as you didn't expose yourself to the sun, you wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

Some family members thought it was hot here in July and August, but Qin Rou didn't think so at all. After all, she grew up in Shenzhen. The summer in Shenzhen and Guangzhou was really...

a heat island effect, and there was no wind.

Many people couldn't survive without air conditioning.

After being in the heat for a long time, people will get used to it and their heat tolerance will increase. Qin Rou had a friend who stayed in Shenzhen for three months. It is said that she later returned to her hometown to spend the summer. Her father saw that she did not turn on the air conditioner or fan at home in July and August, and ate hot and spicy snail noodles directly, and looked at her like a madman.

"Aren't you hot?"

"...No."

When Qin Rou was in college, she also met a classmate from Qiongzhou Island. He shivered and said to her: "The winter in Guangzhou is so cold..."

"I can't survive it."

Qin Rou, who was still wearing the magic leg-revealing device without velvet: "???"

In short, Sichuan dogs bark at the sun, and Guangdong dogs bark at the snow.

"I definitely won't see snow when I come here." Qin Rou couldn't help but think of a picture she had posted on WeChat Moments. One year, a "thick" layer of snow fell. All the snow on the hood of the car piled up, and finally a fist-sized snowman was piled up, with two toothpicks stuck in it.

A dozen people in front of the car took photos and posted them on WeChat Moments with their phones.

Winter is coming to other places, but Qin Rou's garden is full of fruits and vegetables. The lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. that she had planted before can all be picked. Her yard has changed a lot.

This year's eggplants and loofahs were not so lucky. The roots rotted in a typhoon before, and the ones that were replanted only sprouted green seedlings. Only tomatoes, cucumbers, and leeks grew very well, especially tomatoes. The trellises she built were full of beautiful small tomatoes.

She planted two kinds of tomatoes, one was a big pink tomato, and the other was a small tomato. The small tomatoes were full of fruits. There were more than 20 bright red tomatoes hanging on a vine, hanging down like red agates. Several vines hung down together, like beautiful agate curtains.

Qin Rou took her nephew to harvest tomatoes, gave him a small basket, and picked up beautiful red agates one by one.

"Take a taste, is it sweet?"

"Sweet."

Then go to the chicken coop and get a fresh egg, and you can immediately match it with the most beautiful fairy dish in my flower-growing family - scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Go pick two handfuls of lettuce that Qin Rou had carefully grown, add some black fungus, frozen tofu, shrimp balls, vermicelli, prawns, abalone, squid, and scallops, and cook a seafood hot pot to celebrate the autumn and winter seasons.

Qin Rou took her little nephew Chen Jingyi to eat seafood hot pot in the yard.

The little fat boy had been picked up a month ago, and a soldier took him to his mother.

Another adult man in the family fell into the sea and has not returned for more than half a month.

He went out to sea, and now there are only two of them, the aunt and the nephew.

Qin Rou's sister Qin Mian and her family will arrive at Qiongzhou Island around the beginning of December.

Qin Rou will go to Guangzhou in two days, and she will be there for a week, so she wants to leave her nephew Chen Jingyi and the yard at home to Li Qinghua to help her take care of it, and Huahua's mother readily agrees.

"Xiao Qin, just leave it to me." Li Qinghua received the plant card Qin Rou gave her and promised that she would water, fertilize and feed the chickens on time.

"Sister Huahua, pick a few of these in my yard and take them home. Don't let them ripen."

"Okay."

When Political Commissar Liu returned home, he saw his young wife, who was seriously writing a future plan.

Political Commissar Liu: "Future plan???!"

His wife is amazing, she can even write a future plan.

On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, I have to go to Xiao Qin's...

Political Commissar Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I've never seen you take such care of our yard."

There was still only a bare pineapple tree. Even the little squirrels didn't come to their house to hang out. Even if they wanted to steal coconuts, they wouldn't come to their house to steal.

There were only some chives and lettuce planted on the second-floor terrace.

"Xiao Qin's yard is so beautiful, of course I have to take care of it. It's not like our yard."

"I don't have to take care of it."

Political Commissar Liu: "..."

You still have the nerve to say that? !

You can take care of other people's yards, but you can't take care of your own yard?

Why is our yard like this?

Who is the culprit?

The yard of the Lu family is now the most beautiful yard in the entire family compound. Many yards are full of flowers, but none of them are as beautiful as her small vegetable garden, because she is particularly good at arranging and diligent in pruning and trimming the leaves. Not only is there a lot of fruit in the yard, but now there are also several new flowers.

Her yard has vegetables, flowers, chicken coops, thatched umbrellas and lounge chairs, and a small green lawn. There is a sunshade swing on the lawn. Now the flower vines have climbed up the swing and formed small buds.

Many people who pass by the Lu family will take a look at the yard and praise the hostess for her ingenuity.

Recently, several new families have come, and every time they come, they always ask who this family belongs to?

"That's Xiao Qin's house. Isn't the yard beautifully decorated?"

"You're really clever."

"Of course, I'm a broadcaster. I go to work late in the morning and come back early in the afternoon. I have nothing to do all day, so I just take care of my own yard." "

Don't some of his family members not work? Don't they have more time?"

"He doesn't have any children yet. Wait until you have a child. How can you have time to take care of other things?"

Qin Rou went to Guangzhou because the Provincial Radio and Television Administration Bureau and other units jointly organized a table tennis competition. She wanted to go with the table tennis players of her unit. Of course, she didn't participate in the competition, but went there as a broadcaster to broadcast the game live.

Table tennis is a popular activity. In the past two years, large and small table tennis competitions have been held. Even her family has organized a table tennis team.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with her, but she was chosen to be the announcer of the competition. The director said that this was an opportunity and asked her to seize it.

"It can be in the newspaper!"

Qin Rou thought: I don't want to be in the newspaper! I

didn't even want to get involved in the entertainment industry, so why should I be in the newspaper.

But such a good opportunity fell on her. If she didn't cherish it, it would be a bit ignorant. This opportunity to show her face as an announcer fell on her, which made people jealous.

Qin Rou could only pack her suitcase and take the boat to Guangzhou. There were five people in their group. In addition to her, there were four other contestants.

One of them was Wang Lichun. Wang Lichun had been practicing table tennis with others in Taiwan these days. She got the opportunity to participate in this competition and thought that she could perform well in Taiwan and go to Guangzhou at public expense. Who knew that Qin Rou would be chosen to be the announcer.

"Some people are really lucky. We work so hard to practice, but she just sits there and watches us and talks."

"Why don't I have such bad luck?"

"If I hadn't signed up for the competition, I might have been the one selected, and someone else would have picked up the shit."

Qin Rou and Wang Lichun were originally in the morning and afternoon, and they rarely got together. Now Wang Lichun has to stay in Taiwan to practice, and also practice table tennis with others at noon, so they have more opportunities to meet.

Every time, she always makes a few sarcastic remarks.

Qin Rou admires her very much. Why can someone talk about shit every day?

"It's not that I'm lucky, it's that I'm a good person."

"I dreamed of koi yesterday, I only have koi luck."

As soon as Qin Rou finished speaking, she heard many people in the station laughing. Zeng Xueqing, who was broadcasting with her at noon, had long been fed up with Wang Lichun, "You're so unlucky every day, can you eat less shit?"

"Can't you let me eat?"

Qin Rou packed her suitcase and stroked her belly. Although only half a month had passed, she suspected that she was pregnant.

She and Lu Yan were indeed not in a hurry to have a child at first. Later, after the fat boy left, Qin Rou felt that the house was a little lonely, but she gradually got used to it.

Before Lu Yan went out to sea, he was reluctant to leave, and he accidentally tore the things before doing that, and this was the last one. Although the ones at this time can be reused, Qin Rou couldn't accept it. She usually threw them away frequently, and at this critical moment, there was only one left. It

was late at night, and she couldn't go to others to ask for it.

It was also in the safe period, so she didn't take any safety measures.

Qin Rou guessed that it wouldn't be a one-time thing. If she really got pregnant, she would give birth to it. She herself was not opposed to having children, but mainly Lu Yan wanted to live a "child-free" life for a while.

They brought two atmosphere sets as soon as they got married, and the two children did liven up the atmosphere, but Comrade Lu envied the newlyweds, the newlyweds, and the world of two people.

Qin Rou had discussed with Lu Yan before that when her sister and her husband came, her nephew would naturally live with his parents. They would spend a year together as a couple and then plan to have a child.

Knowing that Qin Rou's sister and her husband were coming, the family was really happy for a few days, thinking that the world of two people they imagined was coming.

Qin Rou now felt that this silly man might have been happy for nothing.

——Your world of two people is in your dreams.

Although the child may still be a bean sprout, it can no longer be considered a couple.

Speaking of which, Qin Rou herself also found it strange. She had never been pregnant before and had no personal experience. She just saw a lot of news on the news about women who were pregnant for several months without realizing it. But how did she find out that after having sex for more than half a month, she suspected that she was pregnant. She

didn't know if it was her illusion.

It would be a big joke if she made a big fool of herself.

Qin Rou didn't dare to tell people around her about this. She asked Huang Saozi once last week, but she started to urge the baby again after asking questions.

You can't mention the matter of having a baby in front of her.

It's not good to tell others about this. After realizing that she might be pregnant, Qin Rou began to pay attention to diet and rest. If it weren't for the mission to Guangzhou that fell on her and she couldn't shirk it, she didn't want to go.

They went to Guangzhou. Qin Rou vomited violently on the boat, which scared everyone else. Fortunately, they set out at 8 or 9 in the evening. After she vomited, she ate something and fell asleep soon.

Wang Lichun saw her like this, hid in the dark and rejoiced with her colleague Dong Wenhua: "You said it was good luck, but you vomited like this. You have no luck at all. You will be embarrassed when you arrive in Guangzhou." Wang Lichun

was very happy. She recently learned from playing table tennis with someone that another announcer would be assigned to them. She and Qin Rou were both in a three-month probation period. If they did not pass the probation period, they might lose the job. Generally speaking

, if there were no other serious problems, both of them could pass the probation period.

But Wang Lichun was not satisfied with this. She hoped that Qin Rou would not pass the assessment. If she failed the assessment, would Qin Rou's program fall on her? She had been thinking of a solution before, but she had not come up with a solution. Now she had an idea: "Dong Wenhua, if Qin Rou messes up this broadcast, will she fail the assessment?"

Wang Lichun and Dong Wenhua were very close during this period, and Dong Wenhua told her about the assessment.

"If it's just one or two broadcasting errors, there's not such a big responsibility..."

"Then how can we make her fail the assessment?"

"Problems with political ideology and personal style will have an impact. Other problems are not big. She is a military dependent, so there is no problem--"

"I heard that her husband is often not at home. Now he has been gone for more than half a month. If she can't stand the loneliness and hooks up with other men, then isn't that a problem with her style?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense. Qin Rou, that coquettish woman, has always grown up to be a restless person. Look at her eyes. She is very coquettish every day, and she fascinates those young men in Taiwan."

"You say, if I go to Guangzhou and find a second-rate guy to marry her--"

"I warn you, don't continue talking."

Wang Lichun and Dong Wenhua were both stunned. It was a strange man's voice. Who was speaking?

They turned around and saw that it was a crew member holding a flashlight.

Wang Lichun and Dong Wenhua were relieved immediately. Wang Lichun sneered. There was nothing to be afraid of. Even if Qin Rou heard her saying these, as long as the two of them did not admit it or admitted their mistakes verbally, who could do anything to her?

Who knew that the two of them were controlled by the people on the boat.

Generally, in order to prevent people from smuggling across the border, there are warning equipment and guards on the boat.

"The two of them are suspected of committing a crime."

"We are not, we were just chatting."

"What you two said just now was recorded by the recorder on the boat."

"You insulted military families on the boat, didn't you think that the crew members were veterans?"
