Zheng Baozhu asked Song Zhiting if they could install a telephone at home.
Song Zhiting said yes, but he didn't install a phone before because he lived alone and stayed in the barracks all the time except for occasionally coming back to sleep. He felt it was unnecessary.
The phone was installed quickly and Zheng Baozhu called home immediately.
When asked about the business of her family's store, Chen Lifang said that business was pretty good.
Chen Lifang talked about the textile factory workers coming to the store and chatting about the textile factory.
"Do you remember the pomegranate tree outside our house?"
"On the day we moved, Jiang Chongming said he wanted to poach us."
"It was because Jiang Chongming dug up the pomegranate tree. Baoyi heard from someone that Jiang Chongming and you had planted the tree together, so she secretly watered the tree with hot water. Jiang Chongming saw it, and the two had a big fight. Now they are getting divorced."
Zheng Baozhu didn't care about the affairs of these two people. When she heard them quarreling, she felt a little gloating. When she heard that they were getting divorced over a tree, she thought it was too outrageous.
"They wanted to be together regardless of the reputation of their two families. Now they are getting divorced over such a small matter. Their relationship is too fragile."
"It was Baoyi who was making trouble, saying that Jiang Chongming couldn't forget you, so he dug up the pomegranate tree, and accused Jiang Chongming of being fickle and unable to forget the old love.
This matter became known to everyone in the textile factory. Director Jiang and his wife felt that they had lost face, so they said something to Baoyi, and Baoyi went back to her parents' home in anger. "
"They live so close, Jiang Chongming just needs to go over and say a few words to them."
"Baoyi got involved with you again, and was scolded by your grandfather. He ran away and has not been found yet."
"Zheng Baoyi has worked so hard to get this marriage, it is impossible for her to divorce so easily. She is still pregnant. She is just trying to scare the Jiang family and make Jiang Chongming give in to her."
…
Zheng Baozhu could only watch the conflict between Jiang Chongming and Zheng Baoyi.
Unexpectedly, two days later, I received a call from home.
On the other end of the phone was the voice of my uncle Zheng Yousen.
"Baozhu, explain to Baoyi that you and Chongming are innocent."
Zheng Baozhu was confused: "There is nothing between him and me, why should I explain?"
"But Baoyi is suspicious of both of you now, and won't listen to anyone. You have to tell her in person, or she'll file for a divorce."
"Whether we divorce or not is none of my business!" Zheng Baozhu hung up the phone.
Zheng Baozhu didn't answer any calls after that.
…
Song Zhiting came back and saw Zheng Baozhu looking angry, so he asked if Sicheng made her angry and she spanked him for not listening.
Song Sicheng looked at his father resentfully: "I am your biological son."
Zheng Baozhu explained: "Sicheng is very well behaved. It was Zheng Baoyi who had a conflict with him and asked me to come out and explain it clearly. What can I explain?"
Seeing that Zheng Baozhu was angry and the meal was not yet cooked, Song Zhiting quickly went to the army canteen to get food.
After dinner, Song Zhiting saw that Zheng Baozhu still looked unhappy, so he said, "I'll go out with you to relax."
Zheng Baozhu said, "You help Sicheng with his homework at home, and I'll go out for a walk by myself."
…
At this time, the fishermen on the island were eating at home and there was no one on the beach.
In the night sky, the moonlight sprinkled on the beach. Zheng Baozhu walked, picking up shells on the beach and throwing them into the sea.
At this moment, a cry was heard, which sounded very abrupt on the empty beach.
Looking around, there was no one there, and Zheng Baozhu felt a little uneasy.
Zheng Baozhu quickened her pace and wanted to leave the beach, but she heard a voice that sounded like a child calling for his mother.
Zheng Baozhu was worried that it was a child from another family who had a quarrel and ran out, so she walked closer to the source of the sound.
I walked to a fishing boat and heard the crying sound coming from there.
Zheng Baozhu saw a young soldier in military uniform curled up behind the fishing boat.
"Little comrade, what's wrong with you?"
The little soldier obviously didn't expect that someone on the beach wiped away tears and said embarrassedly: "It's okay, the sea breeze blinded my eyes."
The young soldier is not very old, he should be a new recruit.
When he stood up to leave, Zheng Baozhu asked, "Do you miss home?"
The little soldier's eyes turned red and tears welled up in his eyes again.
Zheng Baozhu took out five individually wrapped chicken legs from the space and handed them to the little soldier: "I won't miss home after I'm full."
The little soldier stared at the chicken leg and shook his head: "I'm not hungry."
Zheng Baozhu stuffed the chicken leg into the little soldier's hand and ran away.
The young soldier looked at Zheng Baozhu who had already run away and shouted loudly: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
…
After returning, Zheng Baozhu cooked seafood in the space every day, putting half of it in the room and half of it in the space.
Otherwise, if she bought seafood every day but there was no seafood at home, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
That day, Zheng Baozhu went to the beach and bought seafood from the fishermen.
Suddenly, the two net bags in my hands were taken away by someone, one on the left and one on the right.
It was broad daylight and there were troops on the island, so it was impossible for someone to steal something, especially worthless seafood.
Zheng Baozhu looked up and saw two young soldiers.
One of the young soldiers said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, the net bag is very heavy. Let us help you carry it."
Zheng Baozhu said thank you.
Seeing that Zheng Baozhu didn't recognize him, the young soldier said, "Sister-in-law, don't you recognize me?"
The little soldier rubbed his eyes and said, "Fishing boat."
Zheng Baozhu suddenly realized: "It's you!"
Seeing that the young soldier was in good spirits, Zheng Baozhu asked, "Do you like seafood?"
