Zeng Lingshu brought a lot of things from Beijing. After taking some effort to pack them up, she could finally sit down with peace of mind.
"Mom, your room is upstairs, and Aunt Liu's room is next door. I'll take you there to see it."
Aunt Liu injured her knee a few years ago. She has no problem walking and standing normally, but she can't climb stairs.
The room where she rested at Gu's house was on the first floor, so Lin Jingshu took the actual situation into consideration and cleaned up the utility room.
After repainting, replace the bed and furniture.
Aunt Liu looked at the brand new cottage and was deeply moved. She made up her mind to take good care of her.
Zeng Lingshu's room was arranged in the guest room, and the layout was prepared according to the rooms in Beijing.
Zeng Lingshu held her hand and said, "You are so thoughtful."
Lin Jingshu smiled and said, "As long as Mom likes it."
The interactions between people are mutual.
If you are good to me, I will be good to you.
Zeng Lingshu treated Lin Jingshu sincerely, and Lin Jingshu would not lie, so the family lived in harmony.
The excitement of the group's meeting faded away, and Zeng Lingshu yawned a little. Seeing this, Lin Jingshu asked them to sleep a little longer and rest.
Gu Chengze returned to the military camp and called his old father in Beijing.
"I'll be relieved when we get there. You can call and tell the old man."
Old Mr. Gu was sulking because he couldn't go to the island. At his age, he didn't know if he could wait for his granddaughter-in-law to come back with her two children.
When Gu Chengze called, his tone was still low.
Gu Chengze repeatedly assured that when the children were old enough to take the train, he would bring them back to Beijing to visit him.
Mr. Gu's mood was barely better.
As the number of people in the family increased, Lin Jingshu decided not to move the things in the space for the time being.
The rice, flour and oil needed for the kitchen had been stored long ago while Gu Chengze was not at home.
Even if you run out, don't worry and buy more outside.
Lin Jingshu also felt a little sleepy.
After returning to the house, Gu Chengze helped her massage her legs.
As the delivery date approached, her feet became swollen and she could no longer wear her old clothes, let alone shoes.
Fortunately, the temperature on the island has dropped, so wearing a dress is not out of place.
I also changed my shoes to two sizes larger, and my toes were finally free.
......
It took Lin Mu ten days to reach Guangzhou City. After arranging the transportation, he applied for a few days of vacation and the whole family boarded the ship to the island.
Ding Xiangzhi couldn't get enough of the blue sea and blue sky along the way.
“The scenery here is really nice and the temperature is just right.”
My daughter doesn’t have to suffer during the confinement period.
People of this generation are very outgoing and friendly. When the people sitting next to them learned that they were here to see their daughter, they opened their mouths in surprise.
"Are you from nearby?"
Ding Xiangzhi smiled and said, "No, I came from the north. It took nearly ten days on the road."
"So far? It's rare to see someone who loves their daughter as much as you do."
Ding Xiangzhi just smiled and said nothing. They were all flesh and blood that fell from her body. There was no difference between boys and girls. They were all her children.
Family compound.
Lin Jingshu also wanted to go to the dock to pick someone up, but was stopped by Gu Chengze.
Last time, I was criticized just for waiting at the door. If I go to the dock to pick someone up again, my mother-in-law will definitely give me a lecture.
"Don't worry, I will definitely bring the person back as quickly as possible."
Lin Jingshu pursed her lips and said, "Okay then."
When Gu Chengze arrived at the dock, the ship had just docked. He was very conspicuous in his army green clothes.
"Mom, I saw my brother-in-law."
Lin Mu waved his hands happily.
As soon as the boat stopped, Gu Chengze hurried forward to pick up the people.
"Dad, Mom, and Second Brother, you've worked so hard. Let's go home. Jingshu is waiting anxiously at home."
When Ding Xiangzhi heard this, he didn't bother to reminisce about the past and walked towards the car with his luggage.
The trees on both sides of the road are very rare. I have never seen them at home. They are so tall.
"This is a coconut tree. It's full of treasures. The coconut juice is drinkable, the coconut meat can be used for cooking and oil extraction, and the branches and leaves can be used as firewood."
When they are on missions outside, as long as there are coconut trees, they no longer have to worry about fresh water.
"Let's pick a few and take them back later."
Gu Chengze drove them to the coconut grove they often visited.
"This piece of coconut tastes good. Jingshu likes the taste here the most."
Lin Mu looked at the tall coconut tree and was eager to try. He spat on his hand and said, "Let me try."
He has been playing in the mountains and forests since he was a child, so climbing trees is no problem for him.
A few minutes later, he was still standing on the ground jumping.
What’s wrong with this coconut tree? It doesn’t give me any support. I’ve been trying to climb it for a long time but can’t.
"Brother, you should do the same as me and distribute the force on your feet."
Gu Chengze told Lin Mu about his experience.
Lin Mu tried several times and finally found the feeling and successfully picked the coconuts.
"Okay, that's enough. Don't let anyone report you."
Ding Xiangzhi was worried that being seen would have a bad influence on Gu Chengze.
"Don't worry, Mom. We don't have strict regulations here. Coconut trees can be seen everywhere on the island. They are not considered public property. There is also a wild fruit forest in front for everyone to pick."
This is great.
This sentence popped up in Ding Xiangzhi's mind.
Lin Mu didn't pick enough.
"Brother, we can still go fishing. You can stay here for a few more days and experience it well."
Lin Mu agreed immediately. After driving for such a long time, he finally got a chance to rest, so he naturally wanted to have more fun.
When we arrived at the gate of the family compound, we registered as usual.
Ding Xiangzhi looked at the young soldier at the gate and was still a little nervous.
Gu Chengze explained: "This is the regulation of the family compound. First-time visitors must register with a letter of introduction. There are also people patrolling nearby at ordinary times. This is for the safety of the family members."
The enemy's tactics are endless, and these defensive measures are necessary for the safety of the rear.
After hearing what he said, Ding Xiangzhi felt much more at ease, and at the same time he realized the difficulties faced by the soldiers and their wives.
The car passed by, arousing the curiosity of the crowd again.
"Is this another relative of Captain Gu's?"
Just a few days later, two groups of relatives came to visit. Is there still enough room at home?
Of course, the person who spoke was not really worried about this issue, he was just curious.
"Sister-in-law Su, don't you live next door to Captain Gu's house? Didn't Jingshu say that there are relatives coming to your house?"
Su Hongping was eating melon seeds. "Jingshu is about to give birth, and people from her parents' and husband's families are coming to visit her."
“Are they all here?!”
Lin Jingshu is from Nanshi and Gu Chengze is from Jingshi. This kind of news is not a secret in the family compound and everyone knows it.
If they remembered correctly, neither of these two places was close to the island.
It is understandable that the husband's family came to take care of the confinement, but the mother's family also came, which shows that they value Lin Jingshu very much.
Maybe it's because of Captain Gu's face.
Su Hongping glanced around, knowing what they were thinking, and said calmly, "Jingshu is the only daughter in her family. Her parents love her so much that they came all the way here from a thousand miles away. Her parents didn't say anything, let alone outsiders like us. Don't you agree?"
A few people laughed awkwardly and said yes.
