Chapter 234 What a coincidence, I am also a stepmother

Of course, everyone would make a noise.

But the laughter at this time was not malicious but full of envy that could not be hidden.

Jiang Sinian introduced Lin Wanxia at the right time.

"That's the wife of the third company commander."

"Isn't the third company commander not on this island?" Lin Wanxia remembered that the island where the third company commander led his troops was quite remote.

"Well, the transport ships are close to several large islands, and those with families have come to Xiangyang Island to pick up their brides today."

Lin Wanxia nodded. No wonder she seemed to see a baby-faced person jumping up and down in the crowd just now.

Next came a sister-in-law with a half-grown child. There was

also a young girl who looked like she had just got married.

Because the clothes she wore were still red, and the flower on her head was also red.

A total of seven women came down.

They were of different ages.

Lin Wanxia was most impressed by a mother and daughter.

They gave Lin Wanxia a very strange feeling.

The mother held the child with a forced smile and a look of disgust.

The child shrank, wanting to stay away from the woman but also wanting to get close to her.

The girl was about the same age as Xingxing.

Jiang Sinian only said that this was the family of Instructor Liu of the sanitation company, and did not mention anything else.

Lin Wanxia was very surprised, because Jiang Sinian had obviously taken some considerations into account when introducing them.

Women! They are all curious.

Especially after staying on the island for a while, it was quite boring. It was not easy to see so many people of the same sex coming, so Lin Wanxia was of course happy.

Soon, she knew why Jiang Sinian did not introduce the mother and daughter in detail.

Because this military wife was named Qin Li, and she was the stepmother of the little girl.

Jiang Sinian hesitated to speak because he was afraid that she would think too much.

The reason why Lin Wanxia satisfied her curiosity so quickly was because of the welcoming banquet in the evening.

Although the conditions on the island were harsh, Jiang Sinian still asked the kitchen staff to treat the military families ashore.

Recently, because the officers and soldiers on Xiangyang Island often went to Lin Wanxia's place for food and drink, the kitchen staff saved a lot of meat and vegetables, which were now taken out to entertain the military families.

Currently, among the islands where Jiang Sinian's camp is stationed, only Xiangyang Island has better conditions, so all the military families in the camp live on Xiangyang Island.

If the soldiers are on duty on other islands, they can get off their posts and go to Xiangyang Island.

Even if they cannot be transferred to other posts, other officers and soldiers will voluntarily take over, which will allow them to spend more time with their families.

Lin Wanxia asked Jiang Sinian, "Aren't you always disciplined and law-abiding? Why did you turn a blind eye to this?"

Jiang Sinian was sometimes very stubborn and would stick to his word without compromise.

Jiang Sinian sighed, "It's different. Our profession is already unworthy of our families. The conditions are so difficult now, and the sisters-in-law have come all the way here, so we should at least spend more time with them."

He also said that it was not him who set the precedent, it was the same in the compound before.

Lin Wanxia realized that militarized management could also be very humane.

This is a later story.

At the welcoming banquet, everyone was very happy in the restaurant.

Lin Wanxia also accompanied Jiang Sinian to toast the seven new sisters-in-law who had just arrived on the island.

Even the officers and soldiers whose families did not come were very happy, as most of them received letters from home.

Lin Wanxia was also very happy.

The transport ship brought most of the things she specifically requested.

Among them were a pile of iron sheets and foam.

There were also a bunch of snacks and cigarettes.

There were also a lot of miscellaneous things.

However, the transport ship was originally used to transport supplies to the island. The general supplies were for the officers and soldiers stationed on the island to eat, wear and live. Therefore, there was a lot of space in the cabin, so Lin Wanxia dared to ask for so many things.

The captain of the transport ship teased Lin Wanxia, ​​"Sister-in-law, your personal things are too much for the supplies needed for our entire Xinzhong Islands."

Lin Wanxia apologized very embarrassedly.

The captain shook his head, "Don't! I'm glad to help you. I heard that you were the one who retrieved the bodies of our comrades. You don't know, this is the first time in all these years that I've seen bodies of people who were missing on the islands and reefs recovered. Sister-in-law, thank you! Thank you so much!"

Lin Wanxia felt even more embarrassed.

Jiang Sinian rescued Lin Wanxia.

He asked Lin Wanxia to count the supplies and move them to the island.

All the soldiers who came to help widened their eyes when they saw what Lin Wanxia wanted.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to open a grocery store on the island?"

There are all kinds of food, clothing, housing and transportation, especially food. There are really too many kinds.

"Huh?" Lin Wanxia pretended to be surprised, "How did you know?"

The soldier: "..."

looked at Jiang Sinian helplessly.

Jiang Sinian smiled and comforted him: "Your sister-in-law is just teasing you. Go and get busy."

It took more than two hours to unload the ship.

After Lin Wanxia finished her work, she only had time to change her clothes before it was time for dinner.

It was the first time that there were so many women and children in the cafeteria. The men who usually spoke freely became more reserved and sat upright.

In order to take care of the sisters-in-law who had just arrived on the island, they were specially arranged to sit at the same table with their men.

Lin Wanxia was among them.

Lin Wanxia accompanied Jiang Sinian to toast, and after sitting down, she took the lead in introducing herself.

The seven sisters-in-law also came from different places in the world, and everyone spoke poor Mandarin.

Some of the sisters-in-law were from rural areas, and some were from cities. They had

different personalities, some were generous and some blushed when they spoke.

Their self-introductions were also different.

Some of them only said their names shyly and then lowered their heads, not wanting to speak again.

Some of them wanted to introduce even the local specialties of their hometown.

Lin Wanxia still remembers the mother and daughter who seemed so close but were actually so distant.

"My name is Tan Qiuyun, and I'm from Nanzhang City..." She pointed at the little girl following her, "I'm the child's stepmother."

With that, the atmosphere at the dinner table froze.

More importantly, they didn't know what to say, after all, few people would say "I'm a stepmother" when introducing themselves.

Lin Wanxia reacted quickly and patted Xingxing's shoulder, "What a coincidence, I'm also a stepmother."

Tan Qiuyun glanced at Lin Wanxia in surprise, then looked at Xingxing, her expression became very complicated.

The other sisters-in-law were also very surprised.

One of the sisters-in-law couldn't hide her shock: "I thought you were real mother and son."

It's really hard to tell.

Xingxing nodded, "Lin Wanxia is indeed my stepmother."

The people at the table were even more surprised.

The feeling is very complicated. He is shocked at the intimacy between the child and Lin Wanxia, ​​and he doesn't know how to address the child. Do

you say he doesn't know manners?

He will peel the shrimps and put them on Lin Wanxia's plate first.

Do you say he knows manners? He calls Lin Wanxia by her name.

And judging from the expressions of Jiang Sinian and Lin Wanxia, ​​they are used to it.

Jiang Sinian noticed everyone's expressions, wanted to explain but shut up again.

In fact, he didn't agree with Xingxing calling him by his name from the beginning. In his opinion, it was indeed impolite.

But Lin Wanxia said, "If Xingxing really treated me as his mother, he would still respect and love me even if he called me by my name! He said he didn't treat me as his mother, and he still treated me with distance and distance, and he didn't care about my feelings when he spoke or did things."

Tan Qiuyun said to Lin Wanxia enviously, "You met a good kid!"
