Follow the army to the island, the rebellious male protagonist was led by me to counterattack

Chapter 3 Good Seedling

Shi Xia's words made Wen Cheng'an really furious.

"You've eaten too much salt. You're meddling in other people's business."

"I don't like salt, but I live by the sea, so I like to be nosy."

Wen Chengan laughed in anger when he heard Xia's serious nonsense.

"You are so thick-skinned!"

"Not as tough as Master Wen."

The two of them were at loggerheads, looking like they were about to start a fight.

Seeing this, Zhang Guihua was very suspicious that the two were incompatible, so she quickly stood between them.

"Cheng'an, I have some good food today. I'll make it for you later."

Wen Chengan snorted.

"Who cares?"

With a turn, Wen Cheng'an left.

Zhang Guihua wanted to stop him, but was pulled back by Shi Xia.

"Aunt, has his ID been transferred?"

"Huh? It's turned."

"Then don't worry about it. He can't go anywhere without ID."

Zhang Guihua: It seems... makes a lot of sense.

Shi Xia didn't say anything more. After saying hello to Zhang Guihua, she went home.

After arriving home, Shi Xia first soaked the shellfish in water to remove the mud and sand.

Two small squids and a big flying crab were placed in a bucket with the lid closed to eat in the evening.

She remembered that there were some short chives in the backyard and planned to make dumplings for herself for lunch.

Dumplings, it’s too long ago.

I really can’t think about it, because I eat more when I think about it.

She ate six boiled sweet potatoes for breakfast alone, and that was when she was restrained.

Most people cut the sweet potatoes into shreds and cook them with grains. Not many people eat the whole sweet potato.

At this rate of eating, the little food in the original owner's house might not be enough for her.

It seems that we need to go to the mainland to replenish some food and, preferably, get some money.

It is now 1964. If nothing unexpected happens, in the next ten years, no place will be as stable as the islands.

She was planning to enjoy life here without mutated animals and plants.

Ten years later, it would be best if she could buy an island. With her water-based abilities, her life would be more than happy.

And as for Wen Cheng'an, for the sake of Aunt and Uncle Wen, we have to find him a job to make a living.

Before going out, Shi Xia put a handful of dried sweet potatoes in his pocket, preparing to have a snack before going to work.

Haisan Island is the largest island nearby with freshwater resources.

Although it is the largest island, it has very little arable land, and most of the crops grown are taro, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

Most of the island's residents still make their living from the sea.

Shi Xia is the warehouse manager, responsible for distributing tools to everyone, keeping records, and collecting tools.

The original owner attended junior high school, but failed to get into high school.

After distributing all the tools, Shi Xia found a shady place, lay on the grass, crossed his legs, looked at the blue sky, and occasionally bit a dried sweet potato.

enjoy!

Time passed quickly while I watched others working. I collected the tools, registered them, locked them in the warehouse, and then went home to avoid the midday sun.

After returning home, Shi Xia happily became busy.

Humming a little tune, she went to the backyard to cut leeks.

The chives are of average size, about the height of a palm, with some yellow leaves on top.

The soil at the seaside is not suitable, and it is very difficult to grow vegetables. The vegetables at home do not grow well, and some even fail to grow.

Shi Xia brushed his fingers over the leeks, and his water-based ability worked once.

The leeks, which were originally listless, perked up in the blink of an eye. Although they did not grow taller, they were definitely more juicy than before.

"It seems to be somewhat effective."

Shi Xia cut a few bunches of leeks and used her special powers on the other leeks. She took good care of them. In her eyes, these vegetables were all cute little cuties.

Go back to the house and knead the dough first.

The slightly yellow flour was prepared by the original owner to improve Chen Jiandong's meals when he came back from vacation.

"Silly girl, your sincerity has been wasted."

Shi Xia uses cold water to knead the flour into a smooth dough.

She covered the dough with a bowl and let it rise for a while, then she went to pick and wash the chives.

After washing them, she chopped them into small pieces and set them aside. Then, she peeled the razor clams one by one, washed them, chopped them, mixed them with chives, and prepared to open the package.

Shi Xia skillfully pinched the dough, rolled out the dough, and pinched it with both hands, and a dumpling shaped like a gold ingot was made.

"How cute! I'm going to eat you up soon!"

There were about forty dumplings, which Shi Xia pushed one by one into the boiling water.

Gently push with the back of the spoon, and soon the dumplings will float up.

The fragrant aroma of dumplings drifted to the next room. Wen Cheng'an swallowed his saliva and took a bite of the black-faced steamed bun.

"Auntie - I made some dumplings for you to try."

Shi Xia came over with a bowl of dumplings, but Zhang Guihua didn't want any.

"Take it back and eat it yourself. This white flour is so precious."

"If you can't eat it at noon, eat it at night. Put it in a basin and let it sit on cold water. It won't go bad."

Can’t eat?
Completely non-existent.

This is not enough for her to eat!

Shi Xia put it directly on the table and said, "If you don't eat it, I won't be able to eat your food next time."

"I have to go back. The dumplings should stick together soon."

Shi Xia left as soon as he said he would.

Wen Cheng'an looked up at the dumplings whose aroma filled his nose.

How many years has it been since he last had dumplings?

I can't remember clearly, but at the Chen family he always ate different meals from everyone else, and most of the time there was no food at all.

At first he was not convinced and would make a fuss.

He would be beaten whenever he made a fuss, and gradually he stopped making trouble.

"By the way, Wen Chengan, if you want to eat, just eat. Don't be polite."

Shi Xia suddenly turned around and shouted, and Wen Cheng'an turned his head quickly.

"It's just dumplings, I eat them every day and I'm tired of them!"

Shi Xia smiled triumphantly and said, "Really? I've always loved dumplings."

"I'm not going to talk anymore. I'm going back to eat dumplings!"

Shi Xia turned around and curled her lips.

You still need to practice your skills. Only when you eat it will it be yours. Why bother saving face?

Wen Cheng'an stared at Shi Xia's back and took a bite of the black steamed bun viciously: Shi Xia must have been broken off because of his bad personality!

After Shi Xia left, no matter how Zhang Guihua asked Wen Cheng'an to eat dumplings, Wen Cheng'an refused.

In the end, Wen Cheng'an simply ran out while biting the black-faced steamed bun.

Shi Xia, who was sitting next door, watched Wen Cheng'an run over, drank the last mouthful of dumpling soup, and chased after him.

Wen Cheng'an didn't run far. It was too sunny outside, so he looked around and found a big reef to hide from the sun.

"You have such a sharp tongue! No wonder no one wants to marry you."

"What about speaking ill of others?"

When Shi Xia spoke, Wen Cheng'an was startled and fell into the sea with a splash.

Just as Shi Xia was about to save him, he saw Wen Cheng'an flip over flexibly and his head appeared.

"You're following me!"

"Yeah, I'm curious about how you're going to scold me. You're not very creative. You need to study harder."

Shi Xia admitted it without any burden. Sitting on the reef, he looked at Wen Chengan who was swimming skillfully and said, "You're swimming well."

"Of course! I was born stronger than others."

"I don't even need to learn how to swim, I can just jump in the water!"

"And holding your breath. Others can only hold it for two or three minutes, but I can hold it for nine and a half minutes, easily."

Wen Chengan spoke so proudly that Shi Xia smiled happily.

Not bad, isn’t this a genuine Marine seedling?
As far as she knew, the Marines now had nothing and were in need of reconstruction, and they had repeatedly recruited soldiers with good water skills.

But...Wen Chengan's physique is a little lacking.

It doesn't matter, she can practice for him.

What other job is more upright, more responsible, and can support a family than being a soldier?

Must not!

Shi Xia stared at Wen Cheng'an with glowing eyes, and Wen Cheng'an felt a chill down his spine.

"Why, have you seen my peerless beauty?"

"I'm telling you, there's no way I'll ever fall for you!"
