Qian Duoduo happily returned home and saw that Qian Feng had already returned. She told him about her encounter with Yu Dan and also mentioned that if a primary school could be built on the island, it could solve the learning problems of the children in the compound and the children of the island's residents.
Qian Feng understood Qian Duoduo's thoughts. They were people who believed that knowledge could change their destiny, so he understood Qian Duoduo's ideas very well. Moreover, there were many children in the compound now, but if they wanted to build a school, this matter would definitely need to be reported to the higher authorities and the region, since the children's future schooling and other issues would be a problem!
After he finished his meal, he went to Political Commissar Nan's house. The two of them drank tea together for a while. After Qian Feng left, Political Commissar Nan sat quietly on the stool, looking at the glass on the table.
Sister-in-law Nan came over and asked, "What does Commander Qian mean by saying all this? Does he want to build a school on Qiannan Island?"
Seeing Political Commissar Nan nod, she said, "Wow, Commander Qian is really bold! It's good to have connections!"
Political Commissar Nan glared at her and said, "Don't say things like that again!"
Sister-in-law Nan said, puzzled, "What? Everyone knows that Qian Feng only got to the position of regimental commander by marrying the division commander's daughter." There was a hint of disdain in her words!
Political Commissar Nan stood up, looked at his wife, and said, "I don't care what others say, but I don't want you to say things like that in the future."
Looking into Political Commissar Nan's eagle-like eyes, Sister-in-law Nan murmured, "I...I understand."
Political Commissar Nan said, "He is the regimental commander and the only college student on this island. Regardless of who his father-in-law is, he holds the highest official position on this island, without exception. If you do not respect him in your heart, your actions will reflect it, and you will not be far from making a mistake."
Sister-in-law Nan asked in a low voice, "Is it really that exaggerated?"
Political Commissar Nan sighed and said, "I'm trying my best to get along with him now, what do you think?"
Nan's sister-in-law remained silent.
Political Commissar Nan added, "Commander Qian is an upright person, and I have felt comfortable working with him for the past two years."
Just now, he brought up the idea of building a school. I had thought about this before, when I took office as the regimental commander, but I never had the courage to bring it up.
But he not only proposed it, he also planned to implement it. He already had a proposed address and even calculated the number of bricks needed to build the house.
"What does this mean?" He looked at his wife, who shook her head.
Political Commissar Nan: "He is a person with ideas, ability, and the ability to get things done."
Most importantly, he can actually do it! We need someone like him here, so I'll cooperate fully with his work. You're my wife, so you need to be more aware of your place and not let others lead you astray.
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Nan immediately nodded and said, "Old Nan, I understand. I won't say such things again in the future."
In the following days, Qian Feng was unusually busy, while Qian Duoduo, besides working with Professor Yuan in the vegetable garden and rice paddies, would get up early to go beachcombing with Yu Dan and his friends.
Qian Duoduo has become the leader of the group of kids, Yu Dan, because she has milk candy that none of the others have. And these past few days, Qian Duoduo has also completely achieved seafood freedom.
One morning, Qian Duoduo was in the vegetable garden when she saw a young soldier running towards her, calling her name.
She went over and asked what was going on. It turned out that Yu Dan was waiting at the gate of the compound. Qian Duoduo immediately understood why Yu Dan wanted to see her. She told Professor Yuan and then followed the young soldier to the gate of the compound, where she saw Yu Dan wandering around under the shade of a tree.
Qian Duoduo immediately went over: "Fish Ball, is your father back from the sea?"
Fishball nodded immediately and said, "Yes, my dad is back."
Qian Duoduo said happily, "Then let's hurry up and go take a look at your dad's boat."
Mao Hai was a young soldier assigned by Qian Feng to Professor Yuan's side, specifically responsible for following Qian Duoduo. He overheard their conversation and asked, "Comrade Qian, are you going to buy seafood?"
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "That's right. There's plenty of seafood here. I plan to dry it and then send it to my parents when my older brother goes to Hainan Island."
Upon hearing this, the boy immediately said, "I'm strong, I can help you carry it back."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "That's great."
The group arrived at the dock and saw three boats moored there. Qian Duoduo followed Yu Dan to the front of the largest boat, where some bamboo baskets were already placed.
Qian Duoduo said, "Fish Balls, is this what your dad caught?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and a burly build walked over, said a few words to Yu Dan, and Yu Dan replied.
Qian Duoduo could tell it was Chaoshan dialect, but it was really hard to understand.
The middle-aged man turned around and said to Qian Duoduo in somewhat broken Mandarin, "Comrade, are you here to buy fish?"
Qian Duoduo nodded: "Are you Yudan's father?"
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes. My name is Yu Da, you can just call me Lao Yu."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Yu Dan and I are very good friends, so I'll call you Uncle Yu."
Yu Da looked at his mischievous son in surprise. Seeing him standing obediently next to Qian Duoduo and nodding at him, he couldn't help but smile: "This kid is quite well-behaved in front of you."
Qian Duoduo patted Yudan's head and said, "Yudan is a very smart child. I usually teach a few of them, and he is always the first to remember."
