Chapter 280 The Little Dragon Girl is launched On

the sixty-sixth day after Xiao Yueyue was born, Lin Wanxia finally found a nanny that satisfied her.

It was Jiang Sinian, who had a strong network of connections, who finally found the nanny.

She was the mother of one of his local comrades.

His comrade was from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and his mother learned some Chinese medicine from him. Although she was not professional enough, she was enough to take care of the child. She was good at medicinal food and liked children. The most important thing was that the old lady was well educated and was a rare female college student in that era.

In addition to helping her son's comrade, she also had selfish motives when she agreed to help Lin Wanxia take care of the child.

The old lady said that she would practice first so that she would have experience in taking care of her grandson in the future.

This made Lin Wanxia laugh and cry.

Anyway, Lin Wanxia finally found a reliable nanny.

She was called an old lady, but she was only fifty years old and not even retirement age.

Lin Wanxia thought about it and politely called her Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang could not be called a housewife at home, but she did not do much work on weekdays. Lin Wanxia was afraid of tiring Aunt Wang, so she found another woman in the fishing village who was quick and hardworking to help Aunt Wang.

After giving Aunt Wang and Yueyue some time, Lin Wanxia said she wanted to go out to sea.

It was time for the Little Dragon Girl to be launched.

I thought there would be a reluctant separation between mother and daughter, but Aunt Wang packed Yueyue and asked her to go out to sea with her.

"I was born in the north and married to the south for so many years, but I have never been to sea. Let me broaden my horizons."

Lin Wanxia repeatedly said that the voyage was boring, but Aunt Wang firmly expressed that she wanted to see the world and was ready for seasickness.

Lin Wanxia thought about it and decided that it was just a test boat trip, so she took along Aunt Wang, Aunt Liu, and Xingxing.

The Little Dragon Girl was a merchant ship designed by Lin Wanxia herself.

The market price was five hundred thousand.

Five hundred thousand was a huge sum of money in 1985.

Of course, Lin Wanxia didn't pay that much herself, the design fee was enough.

The Little Dragon Girl was not the largest merchant ship nowadays, but it was definitely the most advanced merchant ship.

The test route was to go back and forth to the Xinzhong Islands.

In early March, Jiang Sinian returned to the Xinzhong Islands with the rotating troops.

On March 11, the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, the dragon raised its head.

As the captain of the Little Dragon Girl, Lin Wanxia, ​​under the guidance of Aunt Pang, offered sacrifices to the sea god and set off.

The Little Dragon Girl is mainly used for transportation. It has seven floors of cabins, two floors below and five floors above. Most of the space is reserved for cargo transportation. It is about 200 meters long and 50 meters wide.

There are 17 hired boatmen.

The deputy captain is Brother Liu.

The Princess is now completely steered by Uncle Li, and he lets his new apprentice follow the ship.

Brother Liu, who has just finished his apprenticeship, was transferred to the transport ship by Lin Wanxia. Brother Liu is young and energetic, suitable for long-distance travel.

The equipment on the Princess is the most advanced in the world.

Some of the equipment is not available in China and was obtained by He Yucheng from abroad.

The displacement is over 100 tons.

The ship is not fully loaded, and it is loaded with food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Lin Wanxia plans to go to the island to show her love while testing the ship.

The new ship has enough horsepower and saves one-third of the time compared to the previous Princess.

I haven't been back for more than half a year, and the Xinzhong Islands have changed a lot.

After going around the islands, I found that the islands were much more popular.

There were new houses, green vegetation, and small boats moored on the shore.

It was noon when Lin Wanxia arrived at Xiangyang Island.

Jiang Sinian, dressed in green, was standing at the dock waiting for her.

When he saw the Princess, Jiang Sinian finally felt relieved.

There was a certain degree of danger in testing the ship.

Even though he knew that Lin Wanxia was a professional designer and that she had enough ability to protect herself at sea, he still couldn't help but worry.

Lin Wanxia jumped ashore first and reached back to catch Xingxing.

Jiang Sinian stepped forward to take over his daughter and Wang Ma.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Jiang Sinian spoke first.

Lin Wanxia turned to Wang's mother and said, "Wang's mother, you see how he is so bad at talking. We came all the way here, and he only has to say thank you for your hard work."

Wang's mother laughed, "Some men are not good at talking, but they have good hearts."

Lin Wanxia pouted, "When I gave birth to a child, I said the same three words."

In the past, Lin Wanxia thought that "drink more hot water" was the most annoying thing in the world, but now there is another sentence, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Jiang Sinian said sincerely that he would pay more attention next time, and hugged his daughter.

If the girl was not still young, he would probably have to lift her up high.

Wang's mother went to the island and looked around curiously.

She was in better condition than Lin Wanxia thought, at least she was not seasick.

It was her first time on a boat, and she only got seasick when the wind and waves were strong, which was already very good.

After walking a few steps, Wang's mother began to sigh: "I know you work hard, but I didn't expect you to work so hard."

In Lin Wanxia's eyes, Xiangyang Island has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The group of tents has been replaced by a brand new courtyard.

There are brand new houses in the courtyard, a new training ground, a new family courtyard, a new company, and even the kitchen team's planting and pig raising areas are new.

Outside the courtyard, there are some temporary residences made of asbestos tiles used in construction sites.

The workers just came from the land and planned to do infrastructure.

In addition to regular construction workers, there are also a dozen fishermen building their own houses.

Lin Wanxia smiled and said, "Wang's mother, this is much better than last year! You don't even know what it was like when I came here last time..."

Lin Wanxia described to Wang's mother in detail the Xiangyang Desert Island last year.

Wang's mother almost cried, "You said that Dajun didn't even wash a single bowl at home, and now he has to endure such hardships as a soldier."

She was willing to come with Lin Wanxia, ​​and she also had selfish motives.

Her son also came to the island this time, although not on Xiangyang Island.

Jiang Sinian said hurriedly: "Auntie Wang, don't listen to my wife's threats. We are much better off now. Look..."

He pointed to the windmills by the sea, "We have electricity here, and the fresh water problem has been solved. The wasteland in the distance was cleared by us, and we can cultivate it when the weather warms up.

Those construction workers are here to help us build hospitals and schools. By then, there will be more family members accompanying the army, and more civilians will immigrate here."

Jiang Sinian's various exaggerations did not scare Wang's mother. She sighed, "Building an island is a long process. You are the ones who have suffered the most. You are all in your most energetic age, but you have to live the life of an ascetic here."

Jiang Sinian was silent for a while, then said, "If we live the life of an ascetic for a few years, it can make the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the surrounding fishermen will not be bullied by foreigners, then it's worth it!"

Wang's mother did not say anything else, but patted Jiang Sinian.

Lin Wanxia remembered a saying: There is no such thing as a peaceful life, it's just that someone is carrying the burden for you.

"Sister-in-law, you are finally here! We all missed you!"

"That's right, sister-in-law, we have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time."

"Sister-in-law, come on, let me see what good things you have brought us!"
