There were no major incidents on the island during the holidays; they were all minor issues that were easily resolved.
The number of tourists on the island has decreased significantly after the holiday, but many people still come to visit, though it's not as chaotic as during the holiday period.
The next day, after breakfast, Dongqing said, "Yuzhu, come with me and my third sister to Typhoon Island!"
Li Yuzhu said "okay," and she and her husband walked out of the villa with Dong Sanmei and drove towards the seaside.
The couple and their third sister took a speedboat to Fengtai Island and walked towards the island from the dock.
Roads have just been laid on the island, and things haven't changed much from before.
After several months of pipeline freshwater transport, a large freshwater lake has formed on the island, covering an area of approximately 30,000 square meters.
When the lake is full, it will naturally flow out, forming a stream in the low-lying area. The stream will flow to another low-lying area in the distance, where a freshwater lake will eventually form, gradually improving the island's history of having no freshwater.
The Fengtai Island offshore hydroelectric power station is under construction.
Dongqing said, "Third Sister, immediately hire a construction company to build two resorts and roadside shops on this island, and open Fengtai Island to tourism during the National Day Golden Week next year."
Developing a tourist island involves many aspects, including the development of various shops; otherwise, it won't be possible to achieve the goals of accommodation, shopping, dining, and so on.
This requires private shops to maintain the island; for a tourist island, food, accommodation, and shopping should be the top priority.
In addition, the construction of an amusement park on the island must be in place; simply enjoying the scenery on the island is not enough.
The next evening, Dongqing went to his third sister's house and said, "Third sister, your sister-in-law and I have been away for too long. We're going back tomorrow. The workload here is too heavy, so we'll have to trouble you to take care of things."
Dong Sanmei said, "Brother, don't worry about going back. Your third sister won't let you down. And don't worry about the four children; I'll take good care of them."
Dongqing said, "My biggest worry is the eldest child. She's under a lot of academic pressure. Please take extra care of her in every way."
The Dongqing couple worried about their adopted daughter more than their own children, especially about her schooling. She was too old to start school, so she needed to study hard to skip grades.
Dong Sanmei said, "Although Yuhan isn't your biological daughter, I've long treated her like my own niece. With me, her aunt, taking care of her, aren't you at ease?"
After hearing this, Dongqing smiled and said, "Of course I'm at ease knowing you're my own third sister."
The next morning, Dongqing and his wife took a yacht back to the seaside city to visit their children and nephews at school.
Dong Yuhan saw her parents off at the school gate. Li Yuzhu said, "Yuhan, I'm leaving your younger brother, sister, and cousin with you. Drive carefully on the way back to the island every week, and please be safe."
Dong Yuhan said, "Don't worry, Mom. I'm 20 years old this year and I know everything. I'll take good care of my younger brother, sister, and cousin."
Without this adopted daughter, Dongqing would really be worried about leaving his children here to study, since they are all minors.
Dongqing said, "Your mother and I flew back today. You'll be taking your younger brother and sister back to your hometown for the Spring Festival."
Dong Yuhan said, "I'll listen to Dad. I'll definitely bring my younger brother and sister back to you and Mom safely for the Spring Festival."
Dong Qing and his wife said goodbye to their adopted daughter and took a car to the airport.
The couple flew to the Pengcheng branch office first to take a look, where the project was under construction.
They only stayed in Shenzhen for two days. On the second day, Gu Yurou took the couple to the airport.
That evening, as the couple exited the provincial capital's airport, Fang Lin was there to pick them up again. She stepped forward, took their luggage, and said, "You've been gone for months, and you're finally back."
After Fang Lin finished speaking, she looked at Li Yuzhu and was quite surprised. She asked, "How come your skin is so fair? Is it all thanks to the hot spring water on the island?"
Li Yuzhu said, "Of course! I soak in the hot spring cave for two hours every day, otherwise how would I have become so fair-skinned?"
Li Yuzhu's skin isn't the kind of white that comes from makeup; it's a very natural white. She's 37 years old this year, and her skin looks as fair and delicate as a young woman's.
Fang Lin smiled and said, "I really envy Sister Sanmei for getting a good job. I'm not fortunate enough to soak in hot springs every day."
Dongqing said, "I'll give you a month-long holiday this Spring Festival. Take your husband and children to live on an island for a month."
"I really can't go during the Spring Festival; I can only go back to my hometown to see my dad."
Fang Lin's father is getting old now, and every Spring Festival he goes back to his hometown to visit him. Dong Qing understands his feelings and said, "How about this, next summer vacation I'll give you a month off, take the children to live on an island for a month."
Summer is indeed a great time to visit an island. You can wear a dress and stroll on the island, swim in the sea, but it's really not possible in winter. Fang Lin said, "Okay, next summer I'll take my children to an island for a month."
They walked to the car amidst laughter and conversation. Dong Qing and his wife sat in the back seat, and Fang Lin drove the car towards the city.
Fang Lin said, "By the way, Yi Feifei and Song Erwang are getting married tomorrow."
Li Yuzhu asked, "Really? Are they having a wedding?"
Fang Lin said, "Song Erwang wanted to have a wedding, but Yi Feifei didn't want a big celebration. They're neighbors across the street, so we'll just pick her up from across the street tomorrow and have lunch at a restaurant, and that'll be the wedding."
In this day and age, people approaching fifty may be too proud to accept the situation, so women generally don't want to have a big wedding. They just want to get married legitimately. Getting married at this age is about living life, not about showing off.
"We've known Yifei for over ten years, and we should visit her home tomorrow to present her with a gift. Honey, would you like to come with me tomorrow?"
After hearing her husband's words, Li Yuzhu said, "Okay, we'll go take a look tomorrow morning."
The next morning, Dong Qing and his wife, along with Fang Lin, drove to the residential area of the automobile manufacturing plant.
The people here didn't recognize them, and the three of them got out of the car and went straight upstairs.
When we arrived at Yifeifei's house, there were couplets pasted on the door because it was a wedding day.
The door was ajar, and the three of them pushed it open and entered the house.
Yi Xiaohui sat in the living room talking to her mother. Yi Feifei dressed as usual, without even wearing makeup. If it weren't for the couplets on the door, you wouldn't believe she was the bride today.
Yi Feifei was flattered to see the three of them enter the living room. She hadn't expected Dong Qing and his wife to come to her wedding in person. She said, "You've come! Please have a seat."
Li Yuzhu asked, "Are you getting married like this?"
Yi Feifei smiled and said, "I'm already so old, there's no such thing as marriage. I'll just go out this door and go in that door, and that'll be my wedding."
This was truly unexpected for Dong Qing and his wife, because they knew Yi Feifei best. She wasn't a low-key woman before, and it seems she has changed so much over the years that they almost didn't recognize her.
