The temperature on the island drops at night and is not as hot as during the day, but cooking in the kitchen is still not a good job.
All the windows are open, and the wind circulates from all directions, helping people calm their inner restlessness.
"I'll scoop out some of the fish and you can take it to Aunt Kang's house."
Lin Jingshu scooped it out and put it in a basin. It was the chicken soup that Aunt Kang sent in the morning. They didn't say anything. They just took the dried food they brought from their hometown to try.
Neighbors can only get along long-term if there is give and take.
"good."
Gu Chengze went out with the basket, thinking that the island was too hot and it would be more convenient to have a fan.
He was so lost in thought that he didn't notice a figure not far away watching him leave.
Lin Jingshu had just put the food on the table when she heard someone walk in.
When Gu Chengze went out just now, Lin Jingshu did not close the door. Her brother had not come to eat yet, so she left the door open for him.
Could it be that the eldest brother is here?
Lin Jingshu glanced outside and saw the person coming in wearing a ragged shirt with a green background and red flowers. He was looking around the yard with his hands behind his back. If someone didn't know, they would think this was her home.
Lin Jingshu frowned, feeling unhappy, and said coldly, "Comrade, what can I do for you?"
Zhang Sufen stared at her. No wonder Captain Gu got married so soon. Even a hero couldn't resist a beautiful woman, so he married a delicate wife.
She looks good, but I don’t know how long she can stay on the island.
Previously, some family members came to join the army, but they couldn’t stand the conditions here and ran back after staying for less than two months.
For someone as delicate as her, two weeks would be fine, let alone two months.
"I live next door to you. My husband is also the head of a group. My last name is Zhang."
The one on the left is Su Hongping’s house. I had seen it in the afternoon. I didn’t expect that there was such a person living on the right.
"Hello, Mrs. Zhang. My last name is Lin. Why are you here at this hour?"
"My husband Sun said you guys just arrived on the island and asked me to see if you needed any help. I happened to be free and came over to take a look."
As Zhang Sufen spoke, she looked into the house inconspicuously.
She thought her actions were secretive, but in fact Lin Jingshu had already noticed them.
He took a step forward and stood in front of her. "Sister-in-law, it's thoughtful of you, but Chengze has time these two days, so I won't bother you for now."
Zhang Sufen was less than 1.6 meters tall. Lin Jingshu stood in front of her, a head taller than her, completely blocking the scene behind her.
Zhang Sufen looked embarrassed. "Okay then. I'll go back first. If you need anything, come find me at home."
On the way back, Zhang Sufen thought to herself that although Captain Gu's wife was young, she was not stupid. She could clearly smell the fragrance when she entered the house, but she was blocking her view.
After Zhang Sufen left, Lin Shan came.
Lin Shan ran back from the military camp, sweating all over. He took a basin of tap water and washed himself thoroughly.
Lin Jingshu happened to see this and frowned, "Brother, you can't take a cold shower right after sweating."
Her eyes were full of worry, which made Lin Shan feel distressed. He quickly promised not to do that again next time.
"You can't take it lightly just because you're young."
The younger sister's earnest advice made Lin Shan feel as if he saw his mother appear before him.
"knew."
Lin Shan took the towel she handed over and muttered, "When did you become as nagging as mother?"
“Big Brother!”
After delivering the things, Gu Chengze came back with a basket of vegetables.
"Aunt Kang gave it to us. She said we can't finish the food in the small vegetable garden at home, so we can pick it whenever we want."
Lin Jingshu looked at the basket of vegetables and sighed, saying that the people of this era were so simple. They gave away a few sea fish and got back a basket of vegetables.
The food on the table was still hot, and the three of them sat down and prepared to eat.
"Little sister, did you do all this?"
Lin Jingshu nodded, pointed to the plate of stir-fried vegetables and said, "This was made by Chengze."
"Him?" Lin Shan's pupils trembled. "Isn't he poisonous?"
Gu Chengze picked up a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. "If you have the guts, don't eat it. I helped to prepare all these dishes."
Lin Shan widened his eyes in disbelief and turned to look at Lin Jingshu, only to see her nod.
"Hiss, it's really you who made it. I have to taste it."
Lin Shan and Gu Chengze have worked together for many years, but he has never heard him say that he can cook.
With an attitude of not fearing death, I took a bite and it didn't seem that bad. It was just average. The only drawback was that there was too much salt.
"How is it? I didn't lie to you, it tastes okay, right?"
"It's just average, far behind my sister. I need to practice more in the future."
Gu Chengze glanced at him indifferently, thinking that he was so good at steaming buns that he could barely burn them, and yet she still looked down on him.
Lin Shan didn't expect that his sister's cooking skills were so good that they finished the whole pot of rice.
After dinner, Gu Chengze stood up, tidied up, and Lin Shan followed behind him, nodding with satisfaction.
Based on his observation of Gu Chengze, his performance was pretty good. He was not like some people who only knew how to eat and not work.
"Little sister, I'm going back first. I'll come to see you another day. If he dares to bully you, come find me."
Lin Jingshu burst out laughing. She wondered what kind of image Gu Chengze had in his brother's mind.
Lin Jingshu agreed obediently.
Lin Shan said goodbye to Gu Chengze and left, leaving only the couple at home.
Lin Jingshu ate a little too much for dinner. Braised fish and scallops were her favorites, and she accidentally ate two bowls of rice.
Standing in the yard to digest the food, I walked and thought about how to plan such a large yard.
"Chengze, how about we plant vegetables on the east side and build a grape rack on the west side?"
This way there is shade in the summer.
"Okay, wait until we get back from shopping tomorrow, and I'll go up the mountain and take a look. If I can find a suitable grapevine, I'll dig one up and bring it back."
There is a mountain behind the family compound. It is common for family members to go to the mountain to look for wild game, and pick wild vegetables and fruits.
The island climate is hot and humid, plants have a long growing period, and some crops can grow all year round.
Rice can be harvested twice or even three times a year.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
This kind of countryside hunting is Lin Jingshu's favorite sport.
Gu Chengze looked at her expectant eyes and smiled slightly, "Okay, let's go together."
The two of them were discussing the planning for the courtyard in the yard. Lin Jingshu's eyes were shining. The real version of Happy Farm was coming soon.
Time passed slowly and Lin Jingshu yawned.
Gu Chengze said, "It's getting late. Let's go to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow."
Lin Jingshu nodded and got up to wash up.
Gu Chengze closed the door, took a basin of water and washed in the yard.
Lin Jingshu came out of the shower room and saw the eight white abdominal muscles.
Suddenly I remembered that today was their wedding night, and she knew nothing about it last time back home.
Although the mission was accomplished, she didn't even get to touch her abdominal muscles.
After thinking about it, she felt that she was at a disadvantage. She was indifferent with such a man next to her.
When she thought about sleeping together later, Lin Jingshu felt inexplicably nervous.
