Chapter 5

“Woo woo woo~”

Time passed quickly, and soon the warship docked at the pier. As the anchor dropped, the waves began to rise, and the soldiers on the warship became busy.

He Nanfeng stood up, stretched out his hand, and pulled his fiancée up. A faint smile appeared on his usually stern face:

“We’re here.”

“Ahhh~”

A few gray seagulls flew over the sky, and their high-pitched cries made Su Wan’s heart tremble.

Our eyes met, the sea breeze blew by, disturbing whose heart?

“Old He, take my brother and sister-in-law down the island and settle them down first. I’ll drive the transport truck back to report.”

Liu Yunfei appeared on the railing on the second floor at some point, waving his hands and shouting, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere in the air.

“good.”

He Nanfeng returned to his normal posture, seemingly unchanged.

However, his crimson ears revealed his inner restlessness at the moment.

Su Wan’s eyes were fixed on the other person’s earlobe. She seemed to have discovered a new world!

It turns out that He Nanfeng is a pure and innocent boy!

He Nanfeng pretended to be calm, picked up the sack and carried two large boxes, motioning for his fiancée to follow.

As for eye contact, I don’t dare at all.

Afraid of being discovered, his little secret.

The port terminal is very large, but it is vast and desolate everywhere.

He Nanfeng hailed an ox cart with ease, negotiated the price, and put the luggage on it.

“Come, let me help you sit on it first.”

“good.”

As long as it’s not walking, Su Wan is not picky about the means of transportation.

The old man driving the carriage saw that the two of them had such a good understanding, and he sighed from the bottom of his heart:

“Captain He is so lucky! Your fiancée is so beautiful.”

A sharp glint flashed in He Nanfeng’s eyes, and he asked back, pretending to be unsure:

“Uncle, do you know me?”

“Of course I know you. Last year, a typhoon hit and blew off the roof of my house. If you hadn’t brought a group of soldiers to rescue us to a safe place, I don’t know if my family would have survived that night.”

The old man nodded, looking very grateful.

He Nanfeng recalled it and it seemed that this was the case.

The tense string in my mind finally dropped, and my tense muscles relaxed.

Su Wan didn’t know what happened, but she could sense He Nanfeng’s tension at that moment.

If you can’t figure it out, just stop thinking about it. It will only add to your troubles.

“Hurry~”

The old man was driving a bullock cart on the road.

There are potholes everywhere in the mud, the road has not been repaired yet, and everything is in ruins.

“Where is the girl from?”

Maybe because the journey was long, the old man consciously tried to find some topics to talk about.

“As for me, I’m from City B.”

“City B is great! I’ve never been off the island in my life, but I heard there’s a train going through City B, and the roads are all made of cement, so they’re really solid.”

“Sir, what’s your name?”

“My last name is Wu, Koutian Wu. Most people on our island have this last name.”

“Uncle Wu, I heard there are coconut trees, beaches, and lots of delicious fruit on Dongzhu Island. Is that true?”

“Hahaha, there are so many coconut trees. We are at the pier now. You can’t see them here. If you walk for another ten minutes, you will see coconut trees planted everywhere along the road.

This is a specialty of our Dongzhu Island. You have never tasted coconut milk, right? When the coconuts are ripe, ask Captain He to pick some for you. The coconut milk is delicious, and the coconut flakes are tasty too.

There is also a beach, but there are a lot of rocks there, so you have to wear rubber boots when you go there to play. Be careful not to get your feet scratched by the sharp rocks…”

Uncle Wu was very talkative and said a lot of interesting things, satisfying all Su Wan’s fantasies about the island.

He Nanfeng said that there are freshwater wells on the island, and rainwater is stored. The purified rainwater can meet daily needs and can be used for bathing.

Uncle Wu is a local and knows the situation on the island very well.

Before she knew it, she was so engrossed in what she was hearing that she couldn’t wait to go fishing!

In the past, when she hadn’t worked, she liked to watch videos of people going to the beach to relax.

I am particularly envious of people who live by the sea, and I am particularly attracted by the videos they shoot of going to the sea.

Of course, sometimes people in the comment section say that most of the videos of people going to the beach to catch seafood are fake. Where can there be so many seafood stranded on the beach, waiting to be caught?

But that doesn’t matter. It just looks relaxing and relieves work stress.

What else, what to do in depth?

Isn’t the purpose of watching short videos to have fun?

Seeing that his fiancée seemed very interested in going to the beach, He Nanfeng silently took note of the preparations before going to the beach.

Rubber shoes, buckets, pliers, baskets, shovels…

Although he didn’t understand what was so fun about sand, or what was the point of catching crabs and other seafood, in his opinion, the seafood dishes in the army canteens and military district canteens were not very tasty…

By the way, we also picked coconuts. The coconuts nowadays are a bit astringent and not sweet enough.

Next month, coconuts will be in season and taste sweeter.

My fiancée has been living in City B, so it’s normal for her to be curious about the new things on the island.

Su Wan was indeed curious about everything on the island, and was a little surprised when passing by an artificial jungle.

So many young people!

The empty eyes and numb expression are frightening.

“Don’t be afraid. They are educated youth from various places assigned to the islands. They are planting rubber trees.”

While He Nanfeng was explaining, he slightly turned sideways to block the view of some people.

“Educated youth?”

Su Wan realized later that, yes, the time in the book was early summer 1975, which was May.

The heroine of the original book was about to take her child to find her father and found him on an island.

Thinking of this, she said in a negotiating tone with a slightly coquettish tone:

“Can we not live in the family compound in the future? There are too many people there. I like quieter places.”

It’s important to stay away from crazy husband and wife. Both the son and daughter of the heroine are not easy to deal with!

On the surface, he seems as harmless as the heroine, but in fact, every child has eight hundred minds!

She doesn’t want to be a paper figure to highlight the tragic love between the male and female protagonists!

“Okay, I’ll go to the Political Commissar’s Office later to cancel your application for housing in the family compound, and then I’ll take you to look for a house.”

He Nanfeng’s ears unconsciously turned red and warm again. No wonder his comrades always had insufficient salary when they were dating.

It turns out that when faced with a partner’s request, I will agree without thinking!

“Hmm~”

Su Wan was in a good mood when she heard the other party’s agreement.

Emotions are contagious. When you meet the right person, dopamine surges and even the air becomes sweet.

Uncle Wu, who was driving the car in front, smiled knowingly, saying, “It’s great to be young.”

In the rubber forest, several female educated youth looked surprised and stood there in a daze, their shovels not moving for a long time.

Who did they see?

Congratulations, Captain!

Is the man chatting and laughing with the strange female comrade on the ox cart the Captain He who is unromantic, serious and exudes an apathetic air?

They must have been too tired from work and not full, so they were hallucinating!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

They dress up to attend the social evening held on the island every year.

In order to win the officers of appropriate age with the best mental outlook, they can escape from working in the countryside, live in family quarters, and become military wives!

Among them, the best single officer is none other than He Nanfeng, Captain He!

Hallucination, it must be an illusion…
