Hearing these words, Jian Yuelan's eyes suddenly lit up. She never asked Ye Linxing about his work, but she also knew that their work had not been going smoothly due to the resistance of the fellow villagers.
Putting her hands around his neck, she whispered, "...Will it help your career?"
Ye Linxing raised his eyebrows, "Yes. "
"Can I be promoted?"
"Not to this extent."
The man pinched her cheek flesh with his fingers and said, "By the way, a large force will land on the island tomorrow, and we will have neighbors on both sides."
It was about whether she could live a clean life in the future. Jian Yuelan instantly became energetic and asked, "Who lives next door?"
"On the left is political commissar Bai Ye, and on the right is regimental leader Lu Changsheng."
"Is it easy to contact their families?"
Ye Linxing didn't know this well, "If you can, just keep going. If you can't, let it go. Don't wrong yourself."
Jian Yuelan hummed to express her understanding, "Do I have to come to visit with gifts? Do I have to treat guests to dinner?"
The man took his time and said, "Don't be in a hurry, we will have the opportunity to meet you in the future."
Jian Yuelan couldn't understand what he said at this time, but she would soon.
As large groups of troops and their families landed on the island, the originally quiet family area instantly became lively.
Before the large troops arrived, there were not many children in the family area, only two children from the Shengli family, and there was a limit to the noise.
It's different now. Dozens of children gather together and want to shake the sky.
For people like Jian Yuelan and others who have no children, their daily pleasure is to sit in front of their house and listen to one sister-in-law yelling loudly for the baby to come home, while the other sister-in-law chases the baby around the yard with a broom and beats the baby.
A week later, Ye Linxing, who rarely returned home on time, announced the news that the Wenju Dinner was about to begin.
"Which one to start with?"
"Lao Yujia."
Jian Yuelan was stunned for a moment, "What?"
"He wants to use Wen Ju to announce his marriage to Zhou Qingqing."
Ye Linxing held her hand tightly and said slowly, "Daughter-in-law, you must be well."
Jian Yuelan's mouth was faster than her brain, and she blurted out, "What, if I don't do well, you still want to divorce me and remarry?"
Instantly, the man's gaze became fierce.
He pinched the little woman's chin and lifted it up, staring straight at her with his dark eyes, "Zhizhi, I feel like you're in trouble."
Jian Yuelan hesitated for a second, "...Brother, I was wrong, please forgive me this time, okay?"
"It's not impossible."
Ye Linxing chuckled, with amusement in his brows, "I'll give you two choices, either go for a run with me, or we go back to the house to exercise."
Jian Yuelan weighed the pros and cons and gritted her teeth, "I choose to go to sea."
What a fucking exercise back home, it’s not dark yet.
The atmosphere froze slightly. After a while, the man tutted, held her chin and kissed her.
"Well, it's not dark."
Jian Yuelan pushed him, vaguely.
Ye Linxing grabbed her pushing hand and attacked the city.
Then, then something incredible happened.
When it was over, the man's dark eyes still contained insatiable desire. He looked at the woman with hazy eyes, his Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was hoarse and hot.
"like or not?"
"like."
The woman, who was leaning softly in his arms, was still enjoying the aftertaste, and responded softly when she heard his words.
"Then let's go back to the bedroom."
With that said, he took her in his arms and walked to the bedroom.
In an instant, Jian Yuelan lost all her charming thoughts.
She was shocked and struggled, "I won't go, I want to catch the sea."
She was so strong that Ye Linxing almost couldn't hold her in his arms due to her desperate struggle.
The little woman was twisting on his body like candy, making his blood boil.
"Snapped!"
"Be more honest with me."
Jian Yuelan froze and looked at him in disbelief, "You hit me?"
"Yeah, beat it."
The man chuckled casually, looking at her bright red lips as if looking at a work of art. His breathing became heavier, as if he was trying his best to restrain something.
"Should we fight back or go to sea?"
"Catch the sea."
Feeling that his body temperature was rising again, Jian Yuelan chose to go to sea without any hope.
Ye Linxing looked at her steadily and saw her eyes regained their clarity and determination. He took a deep breath in frustration and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you to the sea."
He gritted his teeth.
"You, calm down."
Jian Yuelan glanced at the tent, timidly slipped down and packed her things diligently.
Ye Linxing looked at her pretending to be busy, taking a deep breath to calm the boiling desire.
Ten minutes later, the couple went out.
As soon as I came out, I met the sister-in-law of Political Commissar Bai's house next door and rushed out with a broom and an angry face.
The Bai family's sister-in-law, whose surname is Zhang and given name is Nan, is in her early thirties, her hair is pulled back, and her face is full of anger, but she can't hide the gentleness between her eyebrows.
Seeing the bucket in Ye Linxing's hand, she braked and said warmly, "Going to catch the sea?"
"yes."
Jian Yuelan nodded, smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you going?"
"No time."
The Bai family's sister-in-law said tenderly, "I have to beat the baby."
"Let's go together next time."
With that said, she quickly walked towards the North District.
She was walking in the wind, and she looked like a heroine walking across the world with a sword.
"The Bai family baby is crying and screaming again."
Jian Yuelan sighed, Ye Linxing glanced at her and said, "You can also fight when we have a baby."
After saying that, he left without even waiting for her reply.
Jian Yuelan rolled her eyes and followed quickly.
This was the first time she went out with Ye Linxing since she came to the island. Before, she had always thought that he was quite popular, but she never thought that this guy was just a ghost.
When the family members and soldiers I met along the way saw him, let alone saying hello, they looked as if they had seen a ghost and wanted to turn around and run away.
If you really can't run away, just say hello and leave immediately.
Jian Yuelan, who watched helplessly another sister-in-law running away with her baby in her arms, endured it, and finally couldn't help but asked curiously, "What do you usually do to make yourself afraid of everyone?"
Ye Linxing shook his head, "I don't know either."
"You are the only brother and sister who is not afraid to see his cold face."
Zheng Yong, the deputy battalion who came over from the road next to him, answered the call. There was a child in his creaking nest who was kicking his legs and screaming.
When the child saw Jian Yuelan, his eyes lit up and he stretched out his small black hand towards her, "Beautiful aunt, please help me quickly, my dad is going to beat me to death."
"Snapped!"
Zheng Yong's big slap landed on his buttocks, "You said I was going to beat you to death, so I'll show you."
Before he finished speaking, he slapped her a few more times.
The child couldn't hold it any longer and howled at the top of his lungs, with big tears rolling down from his eyes.
"Don't worry about her, I'll take this little bastard home first."
"If I'm a little bastard, then you're an old bastard."
The child, knowing that there was no hope of help, spoke back at the top of his lungs.
Zheng Yong's face turned dark, while Jian Yuelan and Ye Linxing laughed.
Seeing him raising his hand to slap him again, Ye Linxing cleared his throat and said seriously, "The child is ignorant, teach him well, and don't hit him easily."
Zheng Yong snorted, "You can tell me this after you have a child."
"gone."
He took the crying child and left quickly.
Because of his words, Ye Linxing couldn't smile all the way. It wasn't until he reached the beach that his expression softened a bit.
"Daughter-in-law, let's hurry up and have a baby."
Jian Yuelan picked up a cat's eye snail and threw it into the bucket, "I'm pregnant and I'll give birth."
Ye Linxing hummed and asked her, "Where did you pick up the oysters before?"
"there."
She pointed in the direction, "It's a bit far to go there. Are you sure you want to go?"
Calculating the distance, he nodded, "Go."
So, the two of them walked over to the reef.
Halfway through, two figures walking side by side came into view.
"Yu Tuan and Zhou Qingqing."
Jian Yuelan reminded him loudly. Ye Linxing looked around and saw that there was no hiding place, so he simply stopped hiding.
"Lao Yu."
He shouted, and Yu Shengli, who was talking to Zhou Qingqing, looked up and said, "You guys are here to catch the sea?"
"right."
He nodded and looked around the two of them, "I'm taking a walk."
Zhou Qingqing blushed, lowering her eyes with a shy expression.
Yu Shengli glanced at her, with a smile on his brows and eyes.
"Qingqing has worked hard to help take care of the child during this period. I just have time to go out with her for a walk today."
Ye Linxing smiled, exchanged a few words with him, and then left with Jian Yuelan.
After walking a few steps, Jian Yuelan looked back and found that the distance between the two had narrowed to a narrow gap, and their hands would touch each other as they walked.
She was about to turn back when the two hands that were touching each other were clasped together.
"Holding hands."
She poked Ye Linxing as if she had discovered a new world, telling him to look quickly.
