Chapter 107 : Strange Involution

“Sifang Island is in urgent need of food now,” Yan Yixing said with a serious expression.

It turned out that something had gone wrong. When the people of Sifang Island received the evacuation notice, it was too late.

In a hurry, the masses didn’t cooperate, and only half of the people managed to evacuate. The rest, who stayed in their original homes, were directly crushed under the collapsed buildings.

It has been five days since the typhoon. Sifang Island finally repaired a small boat and hurriedly sent people here to request support.

But the boat was not up to standard. Yan Yixing had just led a team of soldiers ashore when the boat broke down again.

That’s why it was delayed until now.

Yan Yixing had brought medicine and some food when he went there, but it was obvious that the food was not enough.

Hearing this, the conference room fell into a long silence.

Two soldiers and six island villagers died on Sifang Island, and dozens were injured.

Had they not evacuated in time, they would have suffered heavy losses by now. But now, the food on Ping Island could only barely support twenty days.

If the ship isn’t able to navigate, they will all be in trouble.

“Take out half of the food and send it over first,” Cao Zhifang said decisively.

If there isn’t enough food, they can tighten their belts and eat less, and still wait for the supply ship to come.

But Sifang Island is almost out of ammunition and food. If Pingzhou Island doesn’t support them, they definitely won’t be able to hold on for long.

The most important thing is that Pingzhou Island now has hydroponic water spinach.

Water spinach can be directly planted even if it is cut off. As long as they dig more hydroponic pools, it will continue to grow, and it can be used as food.

Others also thought of this and became even more grateful to Su Ranran.

Thanks to her for growing hydroponic water spinach, otherwise their situation would be much worse.

Yan Yixing was even more scared, and there was a hint of guilt in his eyes when he looked at Shen He.

After the meeting, no one delayed but instead went to prepare the rescue supplies separately.

Yan Yixing went directly to Shen He. But before he could speak, he heard Shen He say, “I’ll tell you when I get back.”

Although he didn’t specify what it was, Yan Yixing couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine. He hadn’t expected Shen He to know so quickly.

And judging from Shen He’s expression, it was no longer something that could be solved with a simple apology.

With a sigh, he didn’t say anything more and turned to prepare materials.

Most of the men in the family compound had gone to Sifang Island for rescue. The remaining military wives still went to the hydroponic base every day to plant water spinach.

Now, the water spinach in the hydroponic base is the treasure of Pingzhou Island.

Everyone takes care of it carefully.

On the day the green seedlings grew, the water spinach was only the length of a finger joint. The next day, it was the length of a finger.

This growth rate is even faster than planting directly in soil.

No one knows if the seeds are particularly good, or if Su Ranran’s planting skills are extraordinary.

In short, the water spinach in the entire hydroponic base not only grows fast, but also grows well. It looks fresh and lovely.

People can’t help but swallow their saliva when they see it and can’t wait to pull one out and eat it raw.

Everyone is becoming more and more grateful to Su Ranran for growing the water spinach.

Since Shen He isn’t home, the wives of the soldiers in the family compound come to help her voluntarily.

Some carry water, some collect firewood, and delivering seafood is an indispensable task every day.

Looking at the enthusiastic wives of the soldiers, Su Ranran feels deeply grateful.

At the same time, she has become more and more strict with herself.

During her spare time from growing water spinach, Su Ranran continued to study saline-alkali rice.

Every day, she is either soaking in the hydroponic base or working with saline-alkali sand.

Even when she stays at home, she is not idle but casually reading a book.

The wives of the soldiers see that Su Ranran has made such a great contribution to the army, yet she is still not arrogant or impatient, still studying hard every day. They admire this beautiful but not delicate military family more and more.

At the same time, they are also thinking that Su Ranran is so powerful and so hardworking. As military families, how could they fall behind?

For a time, the entire family compound fell into a strange state of competition.

Everyone worked hard every day to learn planting techniques so that when the hydroponic pool expanded, they could also take charge.

The wives of the soldiers had been with the army for different lengths of time, but they had never been so united as they were now.

Without the usual small frictions and calculations, everyone worked toward the same goal.

They felt so proud when they thought that the people on the entire island would be able to eat the water spinach they planted themselves.

The men who stayed in the family compound and did not go to Sifang Island also felt that the atmosphere in the family compound was more harmonious than ever.

The women greeted each other warmly when they met, and then went to the hydroponic base together.

There were no complaints or gossips, and everyone seemed to have endless energy every day.

Seeing how harmonious they were, the men became more and more grateful to this sister-in-law.

On the other hand, seeing that Guo Datong had submitted a divorce report, Lu Haiyan was like an ant on a hot pot.

Seeing that Yan Yixing was not at home, she went to Liu Hong every day.

Liu Hong was pestered and had two headaches.

But she couldn’t even protect herself now, how could she help her?

After Yan Yixing went out that day, he never came back.

She heard that he came back from Sifang Island but left without even entering the house.

This was impossible in the past.

Even if he was angry, he couldn’t just leave Yan Xiaoxiao alone.

But now he hadn’t even come back to see Yan Xiaoxiao. How could Liu Hong not panic?

How could Lu Haiyan care whether Liu Hong panicked or not?

The reason why she was in such a miserable situation was all because of Liu Hong.

She had heard that Guo Datong had a chance to change his career.

If Liu Hong hadn’t instigated her, how could she have gotten divorced, and Guo Datong would have lost the chance to change his career?

“If you don’t help me, I’ll expose your affairs! Anyway, I’m about to get divorced. If I don’t live well, you won’t live well either.”

Seeing Liu Hong hesitate, Lu Haiyan lost her patience and threatened directly.

Seeing her crazy, Liu Hong couldn’t help but feel cold in her heart. She regretted provoking this crazy woman in the first place.

But Yan Yixing hadn’t come back now. If she really exposed it, she would be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong could only suppress her anger and impatience and comfort her with a gentle voice.

“You might as well ask Su Ranran for help instead of coming to me. After all, she is the one you pushed. Go and apologize to her, and ask her to help you persuade Captain Guo. He will definitely change his mind.”

—

Su Ranran didn’t know that Liu Hong had set her sights on her again.

At this time, she refused the help of the military wives and began to grow rice seedlings.

Since Su Ranran was able to grow water spinach in water, the military wives had blind admiration for her.

Not to mention that she wanted to grow rice in saline-alkali land, even if she wanted to grow it in seawater, they believed it would definitely work!
