Lu Jie didn't have any special ideas, he just wanted to find a local in Beijing.

This is not a difficult task. Yun Chengxiu suddenly had many candidates in his mind.

When it was time to eat, the old lady also asked a few questions.

He even mentioned Lu Jie's sister-in-law, "How is your sister-in-law these days?"

The old lady was mainly worried that once they left, Lu Jiang's family would return to their old ways.

If this is true, the old lady would not say it, but she would not like such relatives.

Lu Jie quickly said, "My sister-in-law took the medicine and is feeling much better now. My grandfather also found her an easy job. Now she goes to work every day and doesn't even cook when she gets home."

Mrs. Lu was relieved. "That's good enough. Although she married into our family, she is not sold to us. We should be lenient and kind to the younger generation and not mistreat them."

Just imagine how sad her family would be if Lu Jie was treated like this after getting married.

Lu Jie lowered his head, looking ashamed.

What happened to my sister-in-law was something their family did wrong. If it weren't for my uncle who stepped in to correct the mistake, who knows how things would have turned out.

Although Lu Jie knew about the suffering his sister-in-law had endured, he did not do much to dissuade his mother.

Because she could not understand her sister-in-law's difficulties and hardships, now that it was her turn to negotiate a marriage, she had a vague sense of empathy.

This was the first time Yun Chengxiu knew about this, but judging from the old lady's reaction, the matter should have been resolved.

She asked everyone to eat more vegetables and not continue talking about unpleasant topics.

Lu Hanchuan picked up a piece of fish for Ye Xiaoxiao, carefully choosing the part with the least bones.

"Now that everything has been explained, we'll leave the day after tomorrow."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Well, I gave the key to the yard to my master, and I also told him that if any of the neighbors want to sell their houses, they must buy them from me."

Lu Hanchuan: “…”

His wife's hobby is really dedicated.

…

The summer is hot and the sea breeze is blowing.

The army set out from the capital with sufficient equipment and personnel. The team first arrived at Jinhai Bay and then took a cruise to the island.

Ye Xiaoxiao was originally sitting in an independent off-road vehicle, but after getting on the boat, she sat with Li Futuan's family. She had a slender figure and was weak and vulnerable, but after getting on the boat, she had a strong reaction and couldn't stop vomiting.

Ye Xiaoxiao helped to perform acupuncture on several acupoints and managed to stop Mrs. Li's seasickness.

"Thank you, Mrs. Lu..."

Kong Xuelan held Ye Xiaoxiao's arm, her face as pale as snow.

Ye Xiaoxiao felt uncomfortable just looking at her, luckily she didn't have seasickness.

The other soldiers were transferred from Kyoto. Some of them suffered from seasickness no less severe than Kong Xuelan, and they were just holding on.

Ye Xiaoxiao made a rough calculation and estimated that by the time they got to the island, one third of the people would have fallen.

After more than five hours of sailing at sea, we arrived at Changjing Island and were received by the naval forces stationed on the island.

The island is not small and you can't see the end of it at a glance.

Ye Xiaoxiao and other military officers' families were arranged in a yard that had been prepared long ago.

What surprised Ye Xiaoxiao was that this place was not like in the city where many people lived in one big courtyard. Although it was an area, every household had its own stone courtyard wall.

Although the house is not that good, it is habitable.

There are basic beds and cabinets inside, and you can buy whatever you need later.

There were guards helping Ye Xiaoxiao and the others settle down.

"Ladies, if you need anything, please let me know."

Ye Xiaoxiao stood in her yard and smiled at the security guard. "Thank you for your hard work. I'll clean up first."

"Okay, the room has been cleaned. I'll help you carry your luggage in."

"Thank you."

Ye Xiaoxiao was fine, she could clean up as soon as she entered the house.

Kong Xuelan is suffering from severe seasickness and can only rest in the house for now.

The guard reminded us of some points that need attention on the island.

You can go to the cafeteria to eat. The army will issue cafeteria meal tickets every month. You can also cook your own food, but you will need to prepare more things.

There is definitely no time on the first day, and the island is also settling in the new team, and the guards will arrange dinner.

Ye Xiaoxiao cleaned up the bedroom first, and then found that there was no bathroom or toilet in the yard on the island.

“There’s no running water here either.”

Ye Xiaoxiao found that things were not as simple as she thought.

The guard said: "Fresh water resources on the island are very precious. There is a well in the military housing area where you can get water."

Ye Xiaoxiao: “…Okay.”

Lu Hanchuan hadn't finished his work yet. Ye Xiaoxiao started walking in the yard after dinner and only came back with the others.

Everyone's yard is next to each other. Although this is our home on the island, it's everyone's first time here.

Deputy Commander Li knew that his wife was seasick and could not wait to go home.

Lu Hanchuan walked into the yard and found Xiaoxiao sitting there.

"Don't you mind mosquito bites?"

"I brought a medicine pack, so mosquitoes won't bite me."

Lu Hanchuan walked over and asked, "Have you had dinner?"

"I ate it. My stomach felt good. I ate two big buns and a bowl of porridge."

Ye Xiaoxiao pulled Lu Hanchuan to look at their yard. "The yard is big enough to grow some vegetables, but don't you think something is missing here?"

Lu Hanchuan had just arrived and didn’t notice anything was missing.

Ye Xiaoxiao reminded: "There is no toilet here!"

Lu Hanchuan was also stunned. Except when he went to a very remote place, he never worried about this problem whether he was in the army or at home.

Only now that Xiaoxiao said this did he notice it.

"Are there no other courtyards?"

Ye Xiaoxiao: "I asked, go out and walk east for 150 meters and you will see a public toilet."

It’s okay during the day, but if you have diarrhea at night, who can insist on going there?

Also, there are no street lights yet. Once the sun sets, the whole island becomes pitch black.

Of course, it's not impossible to solve it in the yard.

But Xiaoxiao...

Lu Hanchuan lowered his head: "So... do you want to go to the toilet now?"

Ye Xiaoxiao's smile faded, "No!"

"Just kidding." Lu Hanchuan hugged her slender shoulders, "Tomorrow, I'll ask someone to fix one in the yard. It'll be quick and hassle-free."

That's more like it.

Ye Xiaoxiao then went back to the house with Lu Hanchuan, "Have all the soldiers on the island been settled? I think many of them will have difficulty acclimatizing. I brought a lot of medicine. If you need it, you can come and get it from me."

Ye Xiaoxiao was well prepared and had anticipated the current situation.

When Lu Hanchuan returned to the house, he took his opponent's pulse.

"You're fine."

"I've been to the sea and on a boat before, and I never felt dizzy."

After entering the house, Lu Hanchuan found that the bedroom had been tidied, with only a few scattered things left unopened.

Although the house we were arranged in was simple, it was quite spacious and was a three-bedroom apartment.

There is a stove in the kitchen so you can cook.

But I can’t get it at home yet, because I don’t even have rice or flour.
