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

Chapter 63: A More Powerful Person

After listening to Shi Xia's story, Captain Cheng finally closed his mouth.

"What a coincidence?"

"It's just such a coincidence that everyone in the village knows him and has this photo."

Shi Xia took out the black and white photo he found this morning.

Captain Cheng held the photo and stood next to the savage... no, Grandpa Shi, looking left and right.

"Ugh—ugly!"

Grandpa reluctantly pushed Captain Cheng away.

"Ugly? This is you, and you say you're ugly!"

Captain Cheng smiled and said, "In the end, Grandpa passed away without any reaction."

"Hey--"

"He has bad hearing."

Battalion Commander Cheng stood there awkwardly, he had forgotten about it.

Since Grandpa Shi’s identity was confirmed, he went back.

Shi Xia saw Captain Cheng out and smiled like a little fox at the door.

"Don't ask, I really don't care about logistics!"

Captain Cheng waved his hand and complained in his heart: Don't come here again in the future. If you come a few more times, Shi Xia will pull out all the hair on his head.

"I just wanted to ask, we're going out fishing tomorrow, do you want any fish?"

"fish?"

Battalion Commander Cheng scratched his head.

“….I really can’t make the decision.”

"Okay, then when will the rewards and certificates for Dark Current Island be distributed?"

Shi Xia asked sincerely, and Captain Cheng said awkwardly, "I don't know about that either... but I can push for it!"

"Okay, remember to be open and aboveboard when you deliver it, don't be so low-key."

"Understood. I'll send it to you with drums and gongs!"

"I think it works!"

Shi Xia agreed readily, waved and said goodbye.

"bump!"

The door is closed.

Battalion Commander Cheng opened and closed his mouth, then finally smiled helplessly and left.

Battalion Commander Cheng left and Shi Xia made breakfast.

She poured the mussels and Buddha's hand clams she had caught from the sea into a wooden basin, added sea water, and prepared to wash them.

She scrubbed one and threw one into the wooden bucket next to her.

After two ding-dong sounds, she was driven away by Grandpa Shi.

She held up her two wet hands and watched Grandpa sitting on a small stool. He first took back the two mussels she had washed and washed them again.

Then, Grandpa Shi took a small wooden brush he made himself and started cleaning.

Shi Xia looked at the time and then at Grandpa Shi who was cleaning seriously.

Hmm... I guess I can eat it before it gets smelly.

Forget it, let him do it.

People with mysophobia will feel uncomfortable both mentally and physically when they see unclean things.

Shi Xia simply steamed the taro, and then steamed the mussels and clams to make soup. It would be great if there was a piece of tofu.

Thinking of this, Shi Xia took two cents and a big bowl and went out.

She remembered that there was a family in the village that made tofu, and everyone would exchange some for it.

When Dabai saw Shi Xia go out, he followed her with his butt twisting.

Seeing this, Shi Xia simply took a small bamboo basket and hung it around Dabai's neck, putting the bowl and money in it.

"Dabai, remember the way well. I'll be relying on you to buy tofu from now on."

"Gah!"

Dabai responded, not knowing whether he understood or not.

Shi Xia walked through the village with Dabai, greeting everyone with a smile along the way, and he was very popular.

"Aunt Cheng——"

Shi Xia called for someone at the gate, and only entered the yard after seeing someone coming out of the house.

"Shi Xia is here. Have you eaten yet? Let's eat together."

"I'm cooking at home. Did Aunt Cheng make tofu today?" "Yes, I did. I'll get it for you. How many pieces do you want?"

"Just one together."

Shi Xia took out the bowl, Aunt Cheng took it and filled it with two pieces of tofu.

"Take it and eat it, no money needed."

"Then I don't want it."

Shi Xia put the bowl down as he spoke. Aunt Cheng couldn't push it at all, so she finally took a dime.

The tofu block was very large, and Shi Xia was reluctant to let Dabai take it, but Dabai was unwilling to do so first.

In the end, the tofu bowl was placed in the basket around Dabai's neck.

"You're still a competitive goose."

Dabai didn't respond with a quack, and used all his strength to keep his neck straight.

When the man and the goose returned home, the big white neck could not move.

Shi Xia laughed out loud, Xiaohua giggled, and Dabai squatted beside Grandpa Shi with a wronged look on his face.

By this time, grandpa had already finished cleaning.

The shell was so clean that it seemed to be able to reflect light. Shi Xia thought: This time I can suck the shell as hard as I want!
She washed her hands, took out a piece of tofu and cut it into small pieces, preparing to cook it with mussels later.

Buddha's hand clams, crabs, shrimps and oysters are all placed on the steaming curtain of a large pot and cooked in one pot.

A small pot on the stove next to it is used to make soup.

After using both pots, one large and one small, Shi Xia went to the backyard to pick some bok choy.

"Grandpa, you wash."

Shi Xia handed the cabbage to Grandpa Shi. Grandpa Shi, who had been following behind Shi Xia, nodded and happily took the cabbage.

He was happy to help the girl with work.

Not long after, the grandfather and grandson had breakfast.

Under the pavilion, there are irregular stone tables and stone benches that Shi Xia found and simply polished. They are absolutely original and, most importantly, free of charge.

Tofu and mussel soup with bok choy, steamed taro, steamed seafood and a dish of soy sauce.

This is breakfast for two people.

Shi Xia picked up the bowl, looked at Grandpa Shi and said, "Take the bowl and eat."

Grandpa Shi understood and picked up the bowl, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the biggest crab, and handed it to Shi Xia, grinning toothlessly.

"Okay, you eat."

Shi Xia gestured and the two began to eat.

The grandfather and grandson were both very strong, so they ate a lot. After a meal, there was nothing left.

After dinner, Grandpa Shi naturally took over the job of washing the dishes, but his hands were heavy and he accidentally broke a bowl, and he stood there at a loss.

"It's okay, are you hurt?"

Shi Xia walked over, took Grandpa Shi's rough hand, looked him over and patted his wrist.

"It's okay, take your time. I have money. If it breaks, we can just buy a new one."

Shi Xia spoke quite proudly. Grandpa Shi couldn't hear him at all, but he was very sensitive to emotions and knew that Shi Xia was not angry.

The familiar toothless grin appeared again.

Next, Grandpa Shi brushed the paper very carefully and didn't break anything. Shi Xia gave him timely encouragement, which made Grandpa Shi even happier.

After breakfast, Shi Xia packed up and took Grandpa Shi out to buy him some clothes, shoes, socks, and daily necessities.

The two boarded the ferry together and finally reached land three hours later.

There were so many people around, Grandpa Shi was very nervous and followed Shi Xia without daring to make a mistake.

"It's okay, follow me."

Shi Xia took Grandpa Shi's hand, and the two of them walked into the supply and marketing cooperative.

Before coming, Shi Xia exchanged some tickets with the village chief, just enough to help Grandpa Shi buy two pairs of shoes and a few feet of cloth to make clothes.

However, teacups, towels, etc. require industrial tickets, which she doesn't have.

Shi Xia simply took Grandpa Shi to find the bald man who sold seafood last time.

The bald man opened the door and saw Shi Xia. He first looked behind her, and his regret was visible to his eyes.

"Wen Chengan didn't come?"

"No, do you have something to do with him?"

"Yes, there is something, but it's not something most people can do. Can you help me pass on a message? There's a job that requires me to go down into the water."

When Shi Xia heard this, he said bluntly, "You'll be disappointed. Wen Cheng'an has gone to the army and can't come out."

"But... I can introduce you to someone who's even better at diving."
