Chapter 77 Recruitment "Be good, call me husband."...
After Fu Guangshen's incident, another group of people came to the island soon, selected a site to build a factory, and then news spread that the factory was recruiting workers.
Zhao Xiaoya asked Ye Tan if he had any thoughts of joining the factory, and Ye Tan said no.
"I make my own clothes at home and am happy just to earn some pocket money. I really don't want to go out and work every day. The thought of it is exhausting."
Ye Tan is not someone who can allow herself to suffer hardships. She has never thought about going to work from the beginning to the end. She enjoys her life at home. Anyway, Gu Zhao doesn't mind her staying at home. Both of them are very satisfied with their current life.
Zhao Xiaoya just asked this, and after knowing that Ye Tan had no such plan, she talked about other things.
Gu Zhao recovered well from his injuries and recently started going on missions again. Gu Zhao was not at home, so Zhao Xiaoya asked Ye Tan to go directly to her house for lunch.
After eating, Ye Tan passed by a yard and saw two little white rabbits eating carrots. Their small three-lobed mouths moved around, and he thought they were very cute.
When I got home, an idea struck me, and I immediately started sketching in the workshop. In the afternoon, a baby dress with a bunny element was ready.
Ye Tan pulled the rabbit's ears a few times, thinking that the child would look very cute wearing it.
After admiring herself, she put the clothes away, wondering when Gu Zhao would be back today. Not long after, the door opened and Gu Zhao came back.
Ye Tan went out and saw that he was covered in mud, wondering if he had gone fishing in the river these days.
Gu Zhao took off his dirty clothes and went to the well in the yard to wash his face and hands. He didn't care about the cold water and splashed it on his face. Ye Tan came over with a washbasin to add hot water for him, while scolding him: "It's winter and you still don't take care of yourself. I won't take care of you if you get sick."
Gu Zhao wiped his face, took the towel handed to him by Ye Tan, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your man is in good health. He has been to the sea in winter. This little bit of cold water won't freeze me."
Ye Tan: "Just keep talking big. When you get sick, I'll see if you can still be so stubborn."
"My mouth isn't hard, but other parts are very hard. Do you want to touch them?"
Ye Tan was caught off guard when he heard this and didn't react at first. After a while, he spat at him and said, "You are not being honest as soon as you enter the house. Wash it yourself."
Ye Tan dropped the thermos and turned back to the house. Gu Zhao quickly washed his hands and feet with hot water again before returning to the house. He saw Ye Tan sitting on the sofa drinking tea, so he squeezed over to drink some too.
Ye Tan handed it to him unhappily: "Drink it yourself."
Gu Zhao was unwilling: "Feed me."
Ye Tan: "Don't you have hands?"
Gu Zhao hugged her and said stickyly: "My wife feeds me even sweeter."
Ye Tan glared at him coquettishly, but in the end, considering that both of them hadn't slept for more than ten days, she didn't bring the cup of water to feed him.
Gu Zhao looked really thirsty. Ye Tan only drank two sips of the glass of water and drank the rest in one breath. After drinking, Ye Tan looked at the empty cup and asked him if he wanted more.
Gu Zhao nodded vigorously: "Yes."
Ye Tan picked up the kettle and poured water, saying, "Didn't you bring a kettle with you when you went out? Didn't you drink any water yourself?"
Gu Zhao spread his hands and lay down on the sofa, his long legs rubbing against Ye Tan's and hanging on the ground: "I can't take care of it when I'm busy, and when I'm not busy, I just want to come back to see you quickly and forget to drink water."
Ye Tan's heart suddenly began to feel sour, a little sweet, and a little distressed. She poured the water and handed it to him. This time, Gu Zhao didn't let Ye Tan feed him. He gulped it down and put the cup on the coffee table.
Ye Tan was just about to ask him if he was hungry when the man grabbed his waist and lifted him up, and in the blink of an eye, she was sitting on the man's waist.
Ye Tan was stunned and wanted to go down: "Don't make trouble, you are not hungry, eat something first..."
Gu Zhao's fingers extended along the edge of the hem, caressing the smooth skin. His eyes gradually darkened as he looked at Ye Tan. "I don't want to eat anything. I just want to eat you."
Gu Zhao hugged Ye Tan and took a bite, then rubbed her face and said, "I miss you all day long when I'm out to sea."
Ye Tan's movements were slightly shaken when he thought of it, but thinking that he would be away for a few days, it was understandable that he was so anxious, so he softened his body obediently.
Soft and dense kisses immediately fell on her face and neck, and then spread to her whole body little by little, as if he had to patrol all the territory before he would stop.
Ye Tan slowly exerted force with his fingers, causing wrinkles on the armrest of the sofa.
Gu Zhao's laughter came from behind. His low and deep voice was filled with seductive tenderness, which made Ye Tan's ears numb and his body tremble slightly.
Gu Zhao hugged her tightly, tilted his head and bit her white jade earlobe, his hoarse voice full of temptation.
Ye Tan's waist felt weak.
"Good girl, call me husband."
Ye Tan tilted her head, and a low, soft voice came out of her throat: "Husband~"
Gu Zhao's fingers pressed hard, causing Ye Tan to feel a slight pain. She frowned as she heard Gu Zhao's request again: "Scream again."
"Hubby, hubby... well."
Ye Tan's lips were kissed open, and her sobs echoed in the quiet living room...
As expected, a recruitment notice was finally posted outside the gate of the base. People gathered around it in two or three layers. In less than half a day, the news that the new factory was recruiting spread around.
Many people ran to the main gate to confirm its authenticity, and many people cheered after seeing that it was a real recruitment notice.
In particular, I heard that this recruitment is not only for military personnel and their families, but the indigenous people on the island can also sign up.
Song Qianyue, who had been depressed since being abandoned by Fu Guangshen recently, of course also heard the news.
She immediately became alert. It was like someone gave her a pillow when she was sleepy. She had been worried for the past two days.
It was only when she arrived on the island that she learned from the front desk staff at the guesthouse that visitors only had a half-month stay, and if no one guaranteed them, they would have to return to their original location.
Although Song Qianyue was deeply traumatized by what happened to Fu Guangshen, she didn't want to just go back to her hometown in such a miserable state. She always felt that she still had a chance and that she hadn't reached the end of her rope.
She has been depressed these days. She knows that the photos in Ye Tan's hand are a time bomb for her, so she wants to get the photos back from Ye Tan. Since it is impossible to ask Ye Tan directly, the most effective way is to take them secretly.
As long as the photos are returned, Ye Tan will no longer be able to threaten her, and she won't have to be timid and accomplish nothing.
But it’s a good idea, how do you steal it?
If she couldn't do it herself, she would have to find someone else. However, after thinking about it, she found that there was no suitable person on the island. This matter had to be put on hold for the time being, and she turned her attention to recruiting workers.
I learned that the official recruitment time would be one month later, and priority would be given to junior high school students with good looks. If they passed the interview, they could apply for department clerk positions.
Song Qianyue had just graduated from junior high school. When she saw this requirement, she felt that she was completely qualified and immediately went back with full confidence to make preparations.
Ye Tan, who was having dinner, heard a fierce quarrel coming from behind again. Gu Zhao also put down his chopsticks and looked at the wall behind him. Then they both sighed at the same time.
Ye Tan listened to the banging and banging sounds behind the house, accompanied by the woman's sharp curses, and frowned, saying, "I don't know how long this will last."
Gu Zhao gave her a piece of roasted eggplant and told her to eat well. "It should be ready soon."
Ye Tan turned back and heard Gu Zhao say, "Rongsheng came to me this morning to complain, saying that Zhou Xiuxiu wanted to divorce him."
Ye Tan looked very surprised, "Sister Xiuxiu, are you willing to divorce?" She had seen from her attitude that she was unwilling to divorce before, so why did she suddenly agree?
Gu Zhao didn't know either, so he just said, "Anyway, that's what Rongsheng complained to me about. I think he still wants to continue living with Zhou Xiuxiu."
Ye Tan looked at the back of the house, puzzled. The couple was getting a divorce, so shouldn't Zhou Xiuxiu's mother-in-law be celebrating? Why did all he heard was her wailing?
Ye Tan's doubts were resolved the next afternoon from Aunt He's daughter Xiaofeng.
Ever since Aunt He had clothes made for Ye Tan, her daughter has been successfully married. Now both parties are engaged and are waiting to hold the wedding in the spring after the New Year.
She felt that the skirt Ye Tan made for her played a big role in improving her daughter's temperament.
Aunt He was stubborn and thought so. She looked back and saw that the couple did not grow vegetables in the yard. When they had nothing to do, they would send her a bunch of green onions and a bunch of spinach.
It’s not much, it’s the thought that counts.
Ye Tan also had a good impression of Aunt He, and no one in the He family was difficult to get along with, so the two sides gradually became closer.
Aunt He's daughter Xiaofeng is of the same age as Ye Tan, and has gradually become familiar with Ye Tan during this period. Usually when Gu Zhao is at work, Xiaofeng will come to visit Ye Tan when she has nothing to do.
Today she went to the hospital to buy some medicine for Aunt He. In the hospital, she saw a farce happening at the home of Chief of Staff Rong behind Ye Tan's house. She came back, delivered the medicine, and turned around to look for Ye Tan.
Ye Tan was busy making clothes at the time. When he saw Xiao Feng at the door through the window, he let her in directly, saying that the door was not closed.
Xiaofeng followed in and mentioned to Ye Tan the rare things that happened to the Rongsheng family later.
Everyone has a gossipy nature, and Xiaofeng is no exception. Although the girl usually looks quiet, she has often overheard gossip in private. In the past, apart from discussing it with her mother, she had no one to share it with. But since she became familiar with Ye Tan, she finally has someone to share it with. When Gu Zhao was around, she was too embarrassed to visit him, but once Gu Zhao was not around, she would come to visit him diligently.
Seeing her sweating from running over, Ye Tan was surprised. "It's almost winter, and you're still sweating like this. Where did you get all this sweat from?"
Xiao Feng sat down to catch her breath before she said, "I ran home from the hospital, and then ran to you."
That's not close. Ye Tan stopped what he was doing, stood up and poured a glass of water for Xiaofeng, letting her drink it slowly to catch her breath.
Xiao Feng held the cup of water to warm her hands and couldn't wait to say to Ye Tan, "Do you know what I just saw in the hospital?"
Ye Tan cut off the thread and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Feng pointed to the back of Ye Tan's house, then dragged a stool to Ye Tan's side and said, "I saw Staff Officer Rong and his mother behind your house."
When Ye Tan heard about Rong Sheng, he stopped what he was doing, then put down the machine and asked, "What happened to them?" Could it be that he broke his head and was sent to the hospital last night?
Xiao Feng lowered her voice, with a look of big news on her face, and whispered to Ye Tan, "I don't quite understand it either. I just heard Staff Officer Rong arguing with his mother about whether to get a vasectomy or not."
"I heard my mom say that Staff Officer Rong's mom really wanted Staff Officer Rong to have another son, so I thought it was Sister Zhou who wanted to get sterilized. But then they started arguing, and then I realized it was Staff Officer Rong who wanted to get sterilized!"
Xiao Feng still didn't quite understand after she finished speaking, so she asked Ye Tan, "Sister Xiao Tan, can a man get a vasectomy? Is he still a man after a vasectomy?"
Xiaofeng is not married yet, so her face turned a little red when she asked this question. However, she was really curious, but she didn't dare to ask her mother, so she came to Ye Tan.
She whispered to Ye Tan, "Is sterilization for men the same as the eunuchs in the palace before?"
Ye Tan was just thinking about the fact that Staff Officer Rong had actually decided to get a sterilization when she suddenly heard Xiao Feng's question. She froze for a moment, then quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no, sterilization and eunuch are two different things. Eunuchs directly and fundamentally cut off contact between men and women, while sterilization solves the problem from the source..."
Ye Tan took a physiology class with Xiao Feng on the spot. Xiao Feng didn't quite understand it after listening to it, but he did know that male sterilization and eunuch are two completely different things.
"...So, a man's vasectomy cuts off the water outlet, preventing the flow of water that allows a woman to conceive. This has no effect on the faucet outside, and the faucet still functions. Do you understand?"
In the end, Xiaofeng went home with a head full of faucet water.
After Ye Tan sent Xiao Feng away, he did not go back to the workshop. He poured himself some tea and sat in the living room to rest, but he was thinking about Rong Sheng and Zhou Xiuxiu.
I didn’t expect Rongsheng to be so manly. He made up his mind to get a sterilization. I wonder if Qian Jinhua has succeeded in getting a sterilization without getting around the obstacles?
Secretly, she still hoped that Rongsheng could really make up his mind to get a sterilization. Otherwise, as long as Qian Jinhua didn't give up the idea of wanting a grandson, if the dispute continued, either the couple would separate or Zhou Xiuxiu would continue to give birth until she had a son.

Song Qianyue walked along the coastline, the cold sea breeze blew on her face, bringing a biting chill.
She held her face and rubbed it, feeling a little worried. It wasn't so cold when she first arrived, but now she was shivering just by going out. However, she only brought two cotton coats with her, and one of them was an older one that she threw away when she was watching the photo with Du.
Later, Fu Guangshen also took her to buy clothes, but at that time they only cared about looking good and didn’t care whether they were warm or not, so now she has a lot of clothes, but not two of them are cold-resistant.
Song Qianyue, who lives in the mainland, doesn’t understand why the weather on this broken island is so cold?
She wrapped her coat tightly around her and looked around. There were few people around, and it was not easy to meet a man by chance.
She needed help to steal things from Ye Tan's house, but she hadn't found a suitable person for several days. She couldn't feel at ease unless she got the things before the factory registration started.
It was like a knife hanging over her head, and if she wasn't careful she would get a bloody head.
As she walked, Song Qianyue saw the setting sun. She couldn't stand the cold anymore and planned to go back. Suddenly, she saw the silhouette of a man smoking under a tree.
Even from such a distance, I could sense the melancholy in his eyes and brows, and it was obvious that he was full of worries.
Song Qianyue couldn't help but smooth her hair, a smile appearing at the corner of her lips. It was just comforting people, which was what she was best at.
Sun Chao was worried. Since his mother came to see him last time, she expressed her concern about his marriage and said she wanted to stay on the island to help him find a wife.
After busying herself for a while, she actually found a few, but they were all girls from nearby fishermen's families. Their faces were darkened by the sea breeze and looked rougher than his. Sun Chao, who had seen the beauty of Ye Tan and Li Jinru, didn't like them at all.
But her mother thought that such girls were good, practical, capable and obedient, and were good candidates for daughters-in-law. Moreover, they were all in good health and could give birth to sons at a glance.
Recently, they wanted him to choose one to marry, but Sun Chao found that none of them interested him. Thinking about lying in bed and having children in the future, he felt that he would never see the light in his future.
After taking a deep puff of his cigarette, Sun Chao relaxed his back, leaned against the pine tree trunk, and looked at the colorful clouds flowing in the sky. After a while, the colorful clouds turned into the appearance of Ye Tan. She was smiling at him, saying that she liked him, wanted to be with him, and was concerned about why he was unhappy.
Sun Chao stared at it intently until a hand suddenly appeared in front of him, swaying back and forth.
"Comrade, what's wrong with you?"
Sun Chao's body shook, and when he came to his senses, he realized that the person in front of him was not Ye Tan, but a girl with a gentle smile.
Song Qianyue looked at Sun Chao's gentle smile and said sympathetically, "I see you've been here for a while. Maybe you've encountered something unhappy? If you don't mind, I can be a good listener."
Song Qianyue took a step forward, looking at Sun Chao with her watery eyes. A shy blush appeared on her cheeks. She pointed to the empty space next to him and said, "Can I sit here?"
Sun Chao glanced at the open space she pointed to, which was only an arm's length away from him, and he didn't say anything.
