"If I haven't encountered it, it's fine. But if I do, I must help. This is my professional ethics."
Ye Xiaoxiao had a serious look on her face, but her hands moved nimbly. She picked up the cake, took a bite, then widened her eyes slightly.
Hmm...this is so delicious.
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but her impression of Mrs. Wu had changed.
She changed from a sarcastic woman to a sarcastic woman who cooks delicious meals.
Although Lu Hanxiao had already eaten, Ye Xiaoxiao still gave him two cakes, otherwise she would not be able to eat them.
"Try it and see if it tastes good!"
Ye Xiaoxiao decided that she also wanted to master such cooking skills.
Although it is meat-filled, it is not greasy at all, which just brings out the meaty aroma. The cake is also cooked to perfection, with a slightly crispy outer layer and soft inside.
Lu Han took a bite and said, "Is this Mrs. Wu's cake?"
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't tell Lu Han that she and Mrs. Wu had had any unpleasant experiences before, but now they have reconciled.
“Yes, doesn’t it taste really good?”
Ye Xiaoxiao secretly thought that she must learn how to make pancakes.
“Yeah.” Lu Han also nodded in agreement. His cooking skills were better than many chefs at home.
"By the way, don't we have to make calls to the outside world on this island?"
Ye Xiaoxiao discovered that the phone number at home only connected to the military, which should be the internal phone number left before.
"The only line that goes out is the army's special line, but I can send a telegram. Do you want to send a telegram to your family? I have already informed them that I am safe."
Ye Xiaoxiao: "That's fine."
There is nothing missing here, and Ye Xiaoxiao doesn't need anyone to mail things to her.
If possible, she would like to ask the master for more medicinal herbs.
"I saw the navy on the island today, and suddenly I remembered that my brother Yuan is in Jinhai. Let's go see him when we have time."
It was Lu Han who arranged for Ye Changyuan to go to the army.
Give my uncle a call and it won't be difficult to find Ye Changyuan.
"Okay, we'll go over when we have time." Lu Han agreed.
After finishing her meal, Ye Xiaoxiao went to wash the lunch box and asked Lu Han for credit, "Look, I planted vegetables in the yard."
Lu Han said: "I have seen it, we are really good at it."
Ye Xiaoxiao was very satisfied, "When the vegetables grow, we will have hot pot."
Lu Han hugged Xiaoxiao and helped him put away the lunch box. "Then I'll wait for our family to eat hot pot. Do we have a hot pot at home?"
Ye Xiaoxiao: "We only have a basin at home."
Lu Han: "You can use a copper pot and charcoal. These are easier to get. Give them to me."
Ye Xiaoxiao really hadn't thought about the pot. There are electric pots now, but there is none at Daoxiao's home. The electricity here is also unstable. I don't know if she can finish a hot pot meal.
"Really? There really is charcoal here."
Lu Han: "The cafeteria must have it. Even if it doesn't have it, it's not hard to get it."
Ye Xiaoxiao: "Then please."
Ye Xiaoxiao was just thinking about eating hot pot, but she forgot that she had to wait another twenty days for the vegetables to grow big enough for hot pot.
And I don't know whether the vegetables she planted will grow.
It is now June and the island is gradually entering the rainy season.
The rainy time increased.
A week later, the vegetables planted by Ye Xiaoxiao also began to sprout.
It should be because too many seeds were sown, and many seedlings grew densely.
Gao Yanfei leaned against the wall and said, "You have to let the seedlings grow faster. If you keep them all, they will definitely not grow up."
Gao Yanfei is more experienced than Ye Xiaoxiao in this regard. She is taking advantage of the good weather to come out and bask in the sun, chatting with Ye Xiaoxiao.
Ye Xiaoxiao: "That's such a pity."
Gao Yanfei: "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child."
Although it may not be the right thing to say, thinning out is indeed necessary.
Ye Xiaoxiao just pulled out all those densely packed seedlings.
"What are these? They look like rapeseed to me."
"There are a lot of them, including rapeseed, wormwood, rapeseed, lettuce..."
These are the seeds that Ye Xiaoxiao bought. The seeds in that store were many and varied.
"Don't underestimate Haiyan's shop, but it's the place with the most complete things on the island."
Speaking of Haiyan, Haiyan actually came over riding her donkey.
It’s a water heater I bought for Ye Xiaoxiao.
However, there was no special kettle, so Haiyan brought a quick-heat kettle.
Ye Xiaoxiao remembered that this thing was banned in his university dormitory because it was too easy to cause a fire.
This thing doesn't have a power-off device. If the power is not turned off in time after boiling the water, the water will continue to boil.
"Only this one."
Haiyan said directly.
Ye Xiaoxiao: “Okay.”
As long as he is a little bit more, it will be fine.
Then, she didn’t buy the rice cooker she was looking for. “The kind of rice cooker you mentioned is not available in this city.”
Haiyan had no choice, because people here cooked over a fire and rarely used electrical appliances.
Ye Xiaoxiao: "Okay, is there a post office in Haixiao?"
Haiyan: "Yes, but if you write a letter or mail something, it will probably take a month for it to arrive."
"Okay." Ye Xiaoxiao was used to it. Who asked her to come to a place with inconvenient transportation?
Haiyan also brought Ye Xiaoxiao a shower head with a connected water tank, which required her to boil water herself and add it to the shower head.
Now it is convenient to heat water at home, and it is also convenient for Ye Xiaoxiao to take a bath.
…
While Ye Xiaoxiao was doing her best to improve her own home, Kong Xuelan's yard next door also started to repair the toilet.
Kong Xuelan also started teaching at the middle school.
There are only about ten students on the island, and Kong Xuelan's class has only a dozen students, who are of different ages and have varying teaching progress.
There was another teacher teaching with her, who was also very young, less than ten years old, and her name was Xu Li.
Kong Xuelan was curious about why the other party came to this place.
"I was assigned here, and I stayed here because I thought life on the island was simple."
This is Xu Li’s answer.
Today, Kong Xuelan's family was renovating the toilet, and the yard was already a mess. Xu Li came to deliver teaching materials to Kong Xuelan and happened to see the busy scene in the yard.
After knowing what Kong Xuelan was doing, Xu Li smiled and said, "That's indeed more convenient."
Kong Xuelan: "I also learned this from Mrs. Lu next door. I am too stupid. I have been on the island for more than a week and I still haven't adapted. Mrs. Lu next door is older than me, but she feels comfortable here."
Of course Xu Li didn't know Ye Xiaoxiao, so she looked next door.
Ye Xiaoxiao had washed a lot of clothes in the yard, and there were also beautiful floral sheets, the bright colors dotted the scenery of the island.
Ye Xiaoxiao was pouring water into the yard when she saw two people next door through the low stone wall.
Xu Li inadvertently looked at the other person. She was first struck by his stunning appearance, and then she thought he was very young.
"Is that Mrs. Lu? She looks very old."
