Chapter 297 Sanitary Center
On the way home from get off work today, Liu Yinyin smelled a strong sweet scent of lychees.
There must be people drying dried lychees, and there are quite a few people there.
I guess Ma Guilan told other people how to dry lychees.
Most of the people who came to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things today bought lychees.
This solved the problem of the abundance of lychees.
Liu Yinyin had just picked up Gu Yanyan and was preparing to cook dinner.
Zheng Qiangwei came to see her.
I brought a tin box of premium cookies and a bag of maltose for Gu Yanyan to eat.
Liu Yinyin thought about it and packed twenty dumplings for her.
Zheng Qiangwei was not in a hurry to leave, and asked: "Did Aunt Wang tell you about her daughter?"
Liu Yinyin nodded: "I noticed that she was unhappy all morning, so I guessed it."
Zheng Qiangwei said with a straight face: "I should have known not to agree to this matter earlier. Now I feel like I have done something wrong."
It's really a tough situation.
Liu Yinyin smiled when she heard this: "Don't think too much. I don't think Auntie Wang blames you. There's no guarantee that blind dates will work out. Auntie Wang knows that."
"Anyway, I won't be a matchmaker anymore." Zheng Qiangwei said with her ears drooping. "By the way, sister-in-law, my family asked me to tell you that there may be a typhoon on the island recently. You should be careful when you sleep at night and keep the doors and windows closed."
Liu Yinyin said thoughtfully: "...I know."
In the evening, just after Liu Yinyin finished her meal, a strong wind started to blow outside again.
Without even clearing the dining table, Liu Yinyin immediately closed the doors and windows of the house.
As night fell, the wind grew stronger and the temperature dropped sharply.
Liu Yinyin found a thin quilt to cover Gu Yanyan, feeling somewhat worried as she didn't know what was happening to Gu Yanyan.
She thought that when she went to the clinic tomorrow, she would ask Xiao He again to see if he knew about Gu Cheng's situation...
The next day, Liu Yinyin had lunch at home before riding her bicycle to the gate of the military area.
I made an appointment with Aunt Wang to meet here this morning.
Madam Wang and her daughter Hai Cao had been waiting at the door for a while.
Liu Yinyin took them directly to the health center.
The doctor on duty happened to be a middle-aged female doctor. She was wearing a military uniform inside and a white coat outside, and looked heroic.
She took a look at the pimples on Seaweed's face and asked a few more related questions.
Just like what the barefoot doctor said, this type of acne actually does not require any special treatment.
But if necessary, you can also buy some medicine for treatment.
When Aunt Wang heard this, she immediately expressed her willingness to spend money to buy the medicine. As long as it could cure the acne on the lady's face, it would be worth spending any amount of money.
These days, supplies are scarce, and so are medicinal materials.
Acne on the face is not a serious problem, and the female military doctor didn't want to prescribe medicine for Haicao.
I saw that the acne on her face was indeed quite serious.
He prescribed a box of facial ointment for her and told her to eat less seafood and have a lighter diet.
Most seafood is irritating and is bad for wounds.
People on the island can't live without seafood almost all the time. Aunt Wang never thought that her daughter couldn't eat seafood.
I thought to myself, no wonder the acne on my girlfriend’s face has not improved, there must be this reason for the relationship.
After coming out of the health center, Liu Yinyin wanted to separate from Aunt Wang and her daughter. She wanted to go to the army to find Xiao He.
Unexpectedly, I bumped into Xiao He right after I came out...
"Sister-in-law, why are you in the hospital?" Xiao He asked.
Before leaving, Captain Gu asked him to take good care of Liu Yinyin and her son.
"I brought my colleague here to see a doctor." After that, Liu Yinyin asked worriedly, "Xiao He, when will Gu Cheng come back?"
Xiao He scratched his head when he heard this: "...Sister-in-law, I don't know about this either. It should be soon."
Liu Yinyin asked again: "I heard that there will be a typhoon soon. Will the people on the mission be okay?"
The family compound has a radio broadcast, and these days, Liu Yinyin has also heard it saying that they should be careful to prevent typhoons.
Xiao He said the same thing: "Sister-in-law, I don't know either. The missions we carry out at sea are all secret missions. Soldiers like us don't understand the situation."
Even if you know, you need to keep it secret.
Liu Yinyin: “…”
This is a question that didn't answer anything?
Thinking that no news was good news, Liu Yinyin did not make things difficult for Xiao He.
On the way back, Auntie Wang asked, "Yinyin, do you know the little warrior just now?"
Liu Yinyin nodded slightly: "Yes, I know him..."
Before she finished her words, Auntie Wang said with a look of pity: "This boy is really good-looking. Is he married?"
Xiao He is tall and strong, much better than the gentle platoon leader wearing small glasses who went on a blind date yesterday.
Liu Yinyin was slightly startled: "...It seems not."
Auntie Wang was delighted and said quickly, "Yinyin, when Haicao's pimples get better, can you help me find a partner? Ask that little warrior if he wants to find a partner."
Liu Yinyin thought about it and said, "It's okay to ask, but it may not work."
In fact, she thinks it's a good idea to marry someone local.
Especially some soldiers who are not qualified to accompany the army.
If you marry a local, you and your spouse don’t have to live apart.
When Gu Cheng comes back, you can talk to him.
Auntie Wang said gratefully, "It's okay, just ask for me."
Before leaving, Auntie Wang told Liu Yinyin: "The weather is bad these days, remember to stock up on food at home, like water, candles, firewood, etc. You should also prepare more."
"If a typhoon comes, it will definitely rain heavily, and it will be easy to cut off water and electricity."
When the time comes, you will be detained at home and unable to go out.
She has lived on the island for decades and knows the conditions here very well.
Unlike other places, there may not be droughts, locusts, etc. on the island.
But it's not completely peaceful. Typhoons, tsunamis, floods...any of them can take lives.
If Aunt Wang hadn’t told her, Liu Yinyin really wouldn’t have thought of hoarding things.
The main thing is that there is enough food at home, including enough grain, bacon, dried vegetables and so on.
Otherwise, she still has a system.
But if I really can't go out...
Some things really need to be prepared, but the rest is not a big deal, as there is not much firewood left at home.
The family compound had troops supplying supplies, but supplies were scarce in those days, and the troops distributed supplies based on the number of people, with different amounts for adults and children, and the amounts were strictly controlled.
It's impossible for you to stock up as much as you want.
Liu Yinyin has a hamster temperament. She will feel uneasy if there are not enough things stored at home.
Liu Yinyin turned around and asked Auntie Wang: "Auntie, is there anyone selling firewood on the island?"
Only the army and supply and marketing cooperatives can supply coal. Every household receives a quota and cannot buy any more.
