Chapter 222 I Just Miss You

"It's normal that you don't believe it. After all, Lin Youzhi has been pretending since he was a child. But..." Lin Wanxia looked at the second uncle and asked, "Then where do you think the little girl went?"

"Maybe... maybe she was given to a kind-hearted person for adoption."

Lin Wanxia nodded, "Whatever you say is it! Anyway, I heard that Lin Youzhi got a sum of money. The amount is much more than one thousand yuan. So he not only took out one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine yuan for the betrothal gift, but also had money to build a house. Lin Youzhi

, who is about to get married, is willing to take a crazy sister like this as a burden. It's really touching to be 'kind'!"

The blood on the second uncle's face faded, and he couldn't speak for a long time. He couldn't stand up even if he wanted to leave.

Family planning had just come into being, and everyone wanted sons. Girls couldn't be adopted, let alone sold for one thousand yuan.

But Lin Youzhi told him that he would come back to build five brick and tile houses.

Now it costs 2,000 yuan to build five brick and tile houses.

If that's the case, the little girl should be worth at least 3,000 yuan.

What kind of person should she be sold to for the little girl to be worth 3,000 yuan?

The ignorant second uncle couldn't figure it out, but he knew that she would definitely not be adopted by a wealthy family.

As Lin Wanxia said, he knew Lin Youzhi. Lin Youzhi was definitely a very selfish child since he was young, but he hid it better.

Why would such a selfish Lin Youzhi bring his crazy sister with him when he was about to marry a rich lady?

According to his past behavior, he should have rented a house in the island city and thrown Lin Yaoyao to Lin Youcai.

Unless he feels deeply guilty towards Lin Yaoyao, he will take care of her.

"So, second uncle, you can't be too kind. Lin Youzhi even sold his own sister and nephew, who are from the same mother, why would he be nice to you?"

Second uncle was silent for a long time, "I don't need him to be nice to me, nor do I need him to take care of me in my old age. As long as... as long as he takes my coffin when I die, it's fine."

Lin Wanxia shook her head. You can't wake up someone who pretends to be asleep. She has done her best.

"In this case, go back and think about it carefully. No matter when, come to me when you want. Second uncle, I don't know if you have heard of this saying? 'If you rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall; if you rely on the water, the water will dry up.' Only by relying on yourself can you last long.

You should think about it carefully."

After sending the distraught second uncle away, Lin Wanxia took out the drawing book, but she was reluctant to write.

Since raising Xingxing, Lin Wanxia felt that her maternal instinct was aroused, and she couldn't bear to see the child live a miserable life.

She couldn't help but wonder where Lin Youzhi had taken the little girl to,

and she couldn't help but think in a bad direction.

Just as she was thinking, the newly installed telephone at home rang.

Lin Wanxia picked it up, "Hello?"

"Wife." Jiang Sinian's voice came from the receiver. Perhaps the signal was not stable, and there was a lot of noise.

Lin Wanxia was very surprised: "How can you make a phone call?"

"I came back with the transport ship, and I can't be called back. I'm still on the island, but it's an island very close to the shore. This is a public phone on the island."

"Well. When will you be back?" "I

can't go back in a short time... maybe I can't go back for the New Year. I called to ask you if I can come to the Xinzhong Islands to celebrate the New Year?"

"Celebrate the New Year on the island?" Lin Wanxia was very surprised, "Isn't there nothing on the island?"

It's not like she hasn't been there before. The largest island in the archipelago currently has only a few households, and those few households don't live there permanently. Because the entire archipelago does not have basic living conditions.

In the past, Jiang Sinian and his team not only guarded the islands, but also shouldered the responsibility of building the islands into islands suitable for human habitation.

But they have only been there for a short time, the construction speed should not be that fast, right?

Jiang Sinian was silent for a while, then sighed: "It's really nothing. Forget it, the conditions here are really difficult, I just miss you. Are you okay?"

"Not very well."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"First, I miss you too."

Jiang Sinian smiled, his voice became a little softer: "If there is a first, there must be a second. What's the second?"

"The second is that I encountered another bad thing." Lin Wanxia simply talked about the seafood restaurant being framed and Lin Youzhi's matter.

"You be careful." Jiang Sinian instructed Lin Wanxia, ​​"I'll ask a few comrades to check him."

Lin Wanxia said "um", "If possible, also check the whereabouts of the little girl."

"Okay."

***

Lin Wanxia finally decided to take Xingxing to the islands to find Jiang Sinian for the New Year.

Before the Chinese New Year, Lin Wanxia made a special trip to the archipelago. First, she was curious about how the islands were built, and second, she wanted to plan what she would need to prepare for the Chinese New Year.

Jiang Sinian and his men deployed a whole regiment to guard the archipelago.

The archipelago is divided into several battalions according to their size and proximity.

The island where Jiang Sinian and his men were stationed is called Xiangyang Island.

Xiangyang Island is named after its shape of a sunflower.

It is not small in size, about the same size as Hongguang Fishing Village.

But it is too! desolate! and cold! There

is nothing you need.

There is a small, disc-shaped hill in the middle of the island, which is very low.

Jiang Sinian and his men set up tents on the hill.

Currently, life on the island depends entirely on supplies from transport ships.

They are completely unable to take care of themselves for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Jiang Sinian stayed beside Lin Wanxia carefully, and made promises to her: "Although we are still barren now, after the New Year and the beginning of spring, we..."

He pointed to the soldiers who were digging mountains and transporting rocks to reclaim land, "After clearing that area, we can plant vegetables, and then there will be no shortage of vegetables on the island. In addition, our ship will come once a week, and there will be enough fresh water and meat. I tell you, the food on the island is much better than on land. We can eat meat three times a week..." He

lost his energy while talking.

Ever since he knew Lin Wanxia, ​​Lin Wanxia has never lacked meat.

He sighed resignedly: "It's really not suitable to come. Forget it, wait until it's built next year, and you can come with Xingxing."

"Don't you miss me?" Lin Wanxia joked.

"I do." Jiang Sinian nodded honestly, "But I can't bear to let you suffer."

Lin Wanxia smiled, "It's okay, just treat it as taking the children to experience wilderness survival."

Jiang Sinian: "..."

Angrily retorted: "The conditions here are not that bad!"

Lin Wanxia laughed even louder.

***

It's wilderness survival training, but it's Chinese New Year.

Lin Wanxia gave Uncle Li and the others a holiday and packed a big red envelope in advance.

Xie Lijun didn't leave.

Fish and shrimp don't celebrate the Spring Festival.

But Lin Wanxia said she would pay for the tickets and let Xie Lijun bring his family here to celebrate the New Year.

Food and accommodation are all included.

The seafood restaurant will be fully managed by Shang Yuwei, and it will not be closed until the Chinese New Year.

Lin Wanxia has already told how many red envelopes to give.

Before leaving for the Xinzhong Islands, Lin Wanxia took Xingxing to see Chen Manshu.

Chen Manshu is now a truly wealthy woman. She lives a

petty bourgeoisie life.

She lives in a big villa and has a nanny to take care of her.

"Are you not going back to your hometown for the New Year this year?" Lin Wanxia asked.
