As night fell, Lu Jingnian held Xiang Wanwan close to the headboard, and the two talked by the west window.
"The rapeseed that Sister Wang and her family planted is about to be harvested, but they have nowhere to put it."
"Didn't they say they'd stop supplying people starting next month? Shouldn't we bring in some skilled workers before then, like oil pressers, furniture makers, or clothing makers?"
"Otherwise, if the shutdown lasts for a long time, everyone's lives will definitely be affected."
Lu Jingnian remained silent for a moment, then said, "What you said makes sense. I'll apply to the organization tomorrow."
"The news from above today says that the island will be managed in its own way from now on, and the organization will not interfere too much. Everything mined locally will belong to the island, but taxes will need to be paid annually."
It seems that the organization really doesn't have enough resources for the island's residents.
In modern times, Taiwan Province is also subject to the "one country, two systems" principle.
It seems that this is also how the organization positions them here.
"In that case, we need to put the development of our area on the agenda. If the organization stops taking care of things, we probably won't be able to hold on for long as things are going on as they are now."
Xiang Wanwan frowned.
The main problem is that they are in such a poor state right now; they lack everything!
"Okay, I've got it."
Lu Jingnian looked at Xiang Wanwan in his arms and rested his head on hers.
"With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?"
"Wife, we should go to sleep." Lu Jingnian's voice was filled with lust as he pulled the blanket over her head.
A man who has been holding back for over a year is the most terrifying.
Xiang Wanwan cried out that she couldn't handle it at night.
She resolutely didn't get out of bed the next day, and only got up and dressed when Aunt Wu called her.
The first thing I do when I get up is to feed myself first, and then feed my two children.
She had just finished her work when Aunt Wang rushed over.
"Wanwan, let me tell you, a few new families have moved into our residential compound."
"You wouldn't believe how big a commotion it was. They brought in several truckloads of stuff. This guy must be a high-ranking official."
A high-ranking official?
Didn't Lu Jingnian tell her last night what official was coming?
Could he be a newly dispatched officer from the organization?
Aunt Wang leaned closer and said mysteriously, "I peeked out and saw one family with a girl and a man, another with a mother and son, and a third with a father and two daughters."
"You said no one usually comes to our island, so why are there so many people all of a sudden?"
"Has something serious happened?"
Xiang Wanwan was also completely confused about what was going on.
She had to wait until Lu Jingnian returned at noon to ask him properly.
"Sister-in-law, I don't know either, I haven't heard any news."
"Don't worry, nothing serious will happen. Everyone can just continue with their normal lives."
No sooner had they finished speaking than a car pulled up in front of Xiang Wanwan’s courtyard, and Xiao Liu, Lu Jingnian’s deputy, got out of the car.
"Sister-in-law, here is a letter for you."
"mine?"
Why would anyone write her a letter out of the blue?
Xiang Wanwan quickly stepped forward, took it, and then smiled and thanked Xiao Liu.
The envelope was addressed to Wen Meijuan.
Who is this?
After opening the envelope and reading the contents, she realized who it was from.
It turned out to be Lu Jingnian's mother, her mother-in-law.
She had always been called "Mom," and others also called her Madam Lu, so her name was unfamiliar to Xiang Wanwan.
The letter was simple, saying that she missed the two children very much, asked how they were doing, and inquired whether they had enough staff, whether Wu Ma could take care of them by herself, and if not, they could hire another nanny.
What followed made Xiang Wanwan frown deeply.
Because Lu Jingnian's cousin came, she passed the nursing exam and came to work on the island because things are quite chaotic outside. He hopes that as her sister-in-law, she can take good care of her.
cousin?
Xiang Wanwan searched her memory and confirmed that she had never met this cousin.
