The next day, Lu Yan's parents and the neighbors, Lao Wang and Lao He, strolled around Qiongzhou Island to get familiar with the local customs and practices of this southern island. They had just come from the north and couldn't help but sigh at the comfort of winter here.

"It's okay that there's no snow, but there's still such a blue sky and white clouds, it's so comfortable."

"I don't even want to go back."

...

Perhaps seeing so many photos at Lu Yan's house, several old men and women were also stimulated, and borrowed cameras from Lu Yan and his wife. The two old couples also said they wanted to take intimate photos as a souvenir.

Don't say it, taking photos is really addictive. These retired old cadres have their own pensions, they are not short of money, and they don't have other hobbies that burn money. Now they have found a good way to spend money.

Take pictures! Buy a camera!

Lu Zongyi was trying hard to take photos, thinking that he was so old, he must have more photos than his son and daughter-in-law.

Once he got addicted to taking photos, he couldn't stop. These two old couples were quite good at learning, and they specifically asked Lu Yan and his wife to borrow photo albums for reference. Qin Rou couldn't say no at all, so she had no choice but to give the album to her parents-in-law.

Qin Rou especially liked Lu Yan's figure and appearance. When Lu Yan was not at home, she would look through her husband's photos at night to relieve her

boredom. She pasted Lu Yan's photos in many places in the house, so that she could see him everywhere when he was not at home. In order to satisfy her unspeakable thoughts, Qin Rou secretly encouraged Lu Yan to pose and took many handsome photos of him alone.

As a result, Lao Lu, Lao Wang and Lao He took a look, pointed at the photo of Lu Yan and said: "This is it, Comrade Xiao Qin, you also take a similar photo for me."

Qin Rou: "..."

This is a bit difficult, not everyone looks good in such a pose.

"Okay, okay, okay..." But this is the request of the elders, how can I refuse, Qin Rou helped people take pictures.

Jiang Ping and Lao Wang's wife saw this scene, and they really couldn't bear to watch it.

"Don't bother Xiao Qin, she is still pregnant, you can take pictures by yourselves."

"Xiao Qin, just take two photos of me on the swing."

Lao Lu, Lao Wang, Lao He: "..."

Considering that Qin Rou is pregnant, she really can't be tired, and Lu Yan is not at home, and Zhang Tuan next door was caught once.

Zhang Chengbei was miserable. He was arrested and photographed. The three old comrades, Lao Lu, Lao Wang and Lao He, had an in-depth discussion (education) with him about the yard of their Zhang family.

——How could you make the yard like this?

Zhang Tuan: "..."

Lao Lu, Lao Wang and Lao He enthusiastically gave him advice:

"You should clear a piece of land first and take care of a small piece first."

"How do you grow it?"

"Do you want to grow some sunflowers here?"

...

Zhang Tuan: "..."

No, he absolutely cannot give up. He must show an unyielding spirit and will never be defeated by a temporary failure.

"Wait until next year, next year my yard will definitely not be like this again!!"

"Okay, okay, let's come and see it next year."

Zhang Chengbei: "..."

My retired old leaders, you really have nothing to do after eating.

After returning, Zhang Chengbei said to his wife Huang Xinying seriously: "When I retire, I will never be such a disgusting old man."

"Three stubborn old men."

"My yard, I can do whatever I want, why are

you meddling in my business?" Huang Xinying: "Old Zhang, stop it."

Zhang Chengbei: "I won't."

Huang Xinying felt a headache when she thought of her own yard. Was it others meddling in her business? It was something that passers-by couldn't stand. "You are not old yet, but you are already a stubborn old man."

Zhang Chengbei: "..."

After staying on Qiongzhou Island for a few days, the old Wang couple and old man He were going back north. Lu Zongyi and his wife planned to stay on the island temporarily and spend the New Year with their youngest son and his family before leaving, or maybe stay until their youngest daughter-in-law gave birth.

The daughter-in-law is pregnant with twins and needs someone to take care of her, while the youngest son is not often at home.

Moreover, Jiang Ping used to be a military doctor, so Lu Yan feels more at ease with his mother by his daughter-in-law's side.

Although the house that Lu Yan was assigned in the family compound has two floors, which is more than enough for his parents to live in, Lu Zongyi and his wife said that they did not want to live with their youngest son.

"We borrowed two rooms from old comrades nearby, and they also have yards."

Yes, Lu Zongyi and his wife said that they would at least plant a crop of vegetables on this island before leaving.

The yard of the youngest son already belongs to the daughter-in-law, and they can't occupy the nest of the cuckoo, so of course they will find another place to plant vegetables and flowers.

When the youngest son was not at home, they helped to look after the youngest daughter-in-law. There had to be someone watching over the child, fearing that she might fall or slip. The couple was not afraid of the inconvenience of the journey, as they had to walk several kilometers a day to exercise when they were in the rest home.

Qin Rou was originally prepared to live with her parents-in-law. She even simulated countless battles between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in her mind. In the end, her parents-in-law shook their hands and said they didn't want to live with them.

Qin Rou: "????!"

Her parents-in-law were quite avant-garde and didn't want to live with their married children.

Qin Rou hugged her husband's face and asked him: "How annoying were you when you were a kid? That's why your parents didn't want to live with you."

Lu Yan: "You are the youngest at home and the eldest outside. Are you afraid?"

"Afraid, I am really a little afraid. Brother Lu will have to take care of our future children."

Qin Rou was really worried about giving birth to two mantis shrimps.

Sometimes, maybe I should do some metaphysical activities. Qin Rou decided seriously and piously: "Lu Yan, before giving birth, I don't plan to eat mantis shrimps, you eat it."

Lu Yan was full of fog: "Why, what does giving birth to a child have to do with mantis shrimps? Don't you like it very much?"

Qin Rou: "..."

- Because I was afraid of giving birth to two mantis shrimps.

"I'm afraid that if I eat too much mantis shrimp, my child will be like you, too naughty."

Lu Yan: "It's up to you."

The next day, Qin Rou overturned her decision. She didn't know why, but after getting pregnant, she still wanted to eat mantis shrimp these days. A pregnant woman's preferences and appetite are unexplained.

Maybe she wants to eat this today and that tomorrow. Mantis shrimp in this era is not something expensive, so you can eat it as you want.

When Lu Yan was eating mantis shrimp, Qin Rou saw that she was greedy and followed him to eat several.

Later, she took the initiative to say that she wanted to eat it.

"Didn't you say you didn't eat mantis shrimp?"

Qin Rou ate mantis shrimp with tears in her eyes: "I have a bad feeling."

The less she planned to eat mantis shrimp, the more she missed it, and the more she wanted to eat it.

——Fate really plays tricks on people.

"My parents said that when they have finished growing the vegetables, they will invite us to have dinner."

Lu Yan said calmly, "Don't go."

Qin Rou: "..."

Lu Yan's parents stayed on the island. During this time, Chief of Staff Lin came to the Lu family for a meal. Qin Rou was not unfamiliar with this Chief of Staff Lin. The last time she met the Sun Mingfang sisters at her sister's place, the person that Sun Mingfang's sister talked about was Xiao Wu next to Chief of Staff Lin.

Chief of Staff Lin is Lu Yan's fellow villager. As a native of Shandong Province, Lu Yan does have many fellow villagers from the same province in the army.

When Qin Rou met Chief of Staff Lin before, she only felt that he had the word "death" written all over him.

Chief of Staff Lin is very interesting. It is said that he used to be in the shore force, but later he was transferred to the water. This was really a desperate situation because he was very seasick.

The last time he went to sea, Chief of Staff Lin vomited all over the boat and was tied to the boat with a rope.

When Lu Yan and Qin Rou were hugging each other on the shore and were reluctant to separate, he was quietly dizzy at the dock on the shore, like a dream.

As the saying goes, he gets dizzy when getting on the boat and when getting off the boat.

It is said that he has gotten used to it recently, and he got used to vomiting, and the smell of death on his body has decreased a little.

Qin Rou even asked Lu Yan curiously, seasickness can be overcome, but what if the navy can't swim? How can you not learn to swim? What to do then? Can a landlubber become a marine?

Of course he can.

The navy does not require the ability to swim, but the army needs to know how to swim even more.

——Because you are in the sea, where can you swim to?

The correct way to save yourself when you fall into the sea is to hold on to a float or other life-saving tools and wait for rescue.

After Chief of Staff Lin learned about Xiao Wu’s girlfriend, he came to their house on behalf of Xiao Wu to apologize, saying that Xiao Wu had separated from Sun Mingli from the Sun family, and that the Sun family had also compensated all the betrothal clothes that they had received before. After

Sun Mingli went back that day, she was in a panic all day, and she was afraid that the Qin sisters would tell Xiao Wu through Chief of Staff Lin. Finally, she couldn’t help it and told Xiao Wu, asking him what to do?

Xiao Wu, as a grown man, naturally could not accept such a thing. It was not enough that the Sun sisters were bragging outside, but they also talked nonsense. How could he marry such a woman?

Sun Mingli begged him desperately, but Xiao Wu refused to accept it. Their marriage was ruined.

"You don't even want to tell others my name? Am I embarrassing your Sun family?"

"Find a husband who won't embarrass you."

After knowing this, Chief of Staff Lin was also speechless. He still felt a little sorry for the Lu family. After all, he told Xiao Wu a lot of things about Lu Yan.

"I didn't expect there would be such a shameless woman."

Chief of Staff Lin sent some dried osmanthus flowers to their family. It is said that his family will soon come to join the army after the New Year.

Qin Rou went to ask her elder sister Qin Mian, who said that Sun Mingli came to take the clothes away, and Sun Mingfang never showed up again.

After learning that Sun Mingli's marriage had collapsed, Qin Mian was not very happy.

"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."

The Qin sisters didn't want to have any contact with people in their hometown, and didn't want them to know whether they were living well. Unexpectedly, they came to Qiongzhou Island and met Sun Mingfang, an acquaintance.

"Sister, what if they know? We haven't been in contact with our hometown for a long time."

"Even if they come to find us, just ignore them."

If her stepfather's family dared to show up in front of her again, she would send them all to jail.

As for her grandmother's family, Qin Rou didn't have much impression in her memory, and Qin Mian knew a little more.

"We are on the island, so we can't find it even if we want to."

Qin Mian didn't want to talk about these things anymore, so she asked her sister to stand up and try on the clothes: "Try on this dress and see how it looks. I modified it from my sister's old clothes, so don't mind it."

Qin Rou: "...It's so big."

Isn't it too big?

"It's right, you're not pregnant yet, wait a few months, and your belly will be this big."
