Chapter 176 Going to the Island
After vomiting, Su Nuannuan felt much better. She waved her hand and said to Chen Xiuting.

"A little seasickness, nothing serious."

At this moment, Sister-in-law Yu also spoke up.

"Oh, seasickness is nothing serious, you'll get used to it after a while."

Su Nuannuan tugged at the corners of her mouth, feeling slightly helpless.

Cheng Qian was not surprised to see Su Nuannuan's condition. He poured her a cup of hot water from the ship's spare hot water.

While drinking water, Su Nuannuan put a mint-flavored candy in her mouth, which made her feel a little better.

The three Su brothers found a place for Su Nuannuan to sit down. Su Erqiang even became a cushion, letting Su Nuannuan lean on his shoulder.

Su Nuannuan did not refuse. She was really uncomfortable right now and didn't want to think about anything else.

After more than two hours, the boat finally docked.

In a daze, Su Nuannuan was carried off the boat by Su Erqiang. Miraculously, after getting off the boat, Su Nuannuan took about ten minutes to recover from seasickness.

Feeling a little embarrassed being carried on Su Erqiang's back, Su Nuannuan patted Su Erqiang's shoulder and said to him.

"Second brother, I'm all better now, put me down."

Su Erqiang ignored Su Nuannuan's words and said to her.

"No need, your second brother is strong enough to carry you."

If his older brother hadn't insisted that he carry his younger sister on his back, he could have simply hoisted her onto his shoulders.

Su Daliang realized that Su Nuannuan was truly no longer feeling unwell, so he said to Su Erqiang.

"Erqiang, put Nuannuan down."

Su Erqiang still listened to Su Daliang. After hearing this, he had no objections and put Su Nuannuan down.

Seeing this, Sister Yu, who was standing behind them, said to Chen Xiuting beside her.

"Xiuting, how did you teach them? They have such a good relationship."

When Chen Xiuting talks about her children, a look of pride appears on her face.

"It's not that I taught them; they just became sensible on their own."

After walking for about half an hour, the group finally arrived at the military base on the island.

Since Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian both lived in the family compound, they went directly to the military base.

At the entrance, Cheng Qian led several people to register their information. Sister-in-law Yu, needing to go home to cook for her husband and children, said goodbye to Chen Xiuting and left.

The military is truly different. Even from the entrance, the group could feel the serious and passionate atmosphere inside. Even the guards at the gate stood ramrod straight, their eyes fixed on anyone approaching.

Su Nuannuan stared directly at the other person, feeling as if she were being watched by an eagle. The two soldiers on guard saw Cheng Houqian, gave him a standard military salute, and then looked straight ahead again.

The military has strict discipline, and outsiders need to be recorded when they come and go. Su Nuannuan and her group of five, who were visiting for the first time, were no exception.

After filling out their personal information, Cheng Qian led the others in.

It was only then that Su Nuannuan could see the entire layout of the military base. The family compound was located at the very back of the base, and along the way, the group saw many soldiers in green uniforms.

Besides these, there are various training areas. Although they are simple, they are very effective for training soldiers.

Su Nuannuan and her group found it all very novel, constantly scanning every soldier who passed by. Among them, Su Erqiang was the most excited. If Su Daliang hadn't been holding him back, he would have already run over to greet them.

Seeing this, Chen Xiuting grabbed Su Erqiang's ear, who was itching to do something, and said...

"Don't even think about it. Unless you get into military academy next year, your dad and I will definitely not agree to you joining the army."

Ever since Su Nuannuan explained the benefits of going to university, Chen Xiuting has felt that university students are the best. Moreover, being a university student is safer than joining the army.

Upon hearing Chen Xiuting's words, Cheng Qian also offered his advice.

"Mom is right. Erqiang is still young. If he can get into university, I'll recommend that you study there for a few years. Then, when you join the army, you'll receive special training."

Cheng Qian only graduated from elementary school. Those who joined the army in their teens, like him, experienced much slower promotions compared to more educated individuals. If he could do it all over again, Cheng Qian would want to join the army after graduating from high school.

Cheng Qian strongly agreed with Chen Xiuting's idea that Su Erqiang should first take the military academy entrance exam and then join the army.

Although he lacked formal education, he had spent many years serving in the military. He knew best how much the higher-ups valued educated people.

What surprised him most was that Su Nuannuan had actually been admitted to a university in Beijing. Even ordinary college students were considered highly cultured individuals in Cheng Qian's eyes, let alone a student from a top-tier university like Su Nuannuan.

After learning that Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian's younger sister was a university student in Beijing, everyone in the family compound wanted the other to help them get introduced to each other.

Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian's faces darkened immediately. Su Nuannuan was only fifteen years old this year, and in their eyes she was still just a child. They would never consider marriage or dating for her.

At this point, the people in the family compound also learned that Su Nuannuan was only fifteen years old.

After learning Su Nuannuan's age, no one dared to make a move on her anymore.

After walking for fifteen minutes, the group finally arrived at the family compound.

The family compound and the training ground outside present different scenes. Each household here has a vegetable garden in front of their house, growing some seasonal vegetables. However, the weather is cold now, and the vegetables are all wilted and lack vitality.

As Cheng Qian walked along, many enthusiastic middle-aged women greeted him. Cheng Qian responded politely in return.

These people were all very curious about the arrival of Su Nuannuan and her group of five. Su Nuannuan, having seen many storms, showed no fear whatsoever. Whoever looked at her, she would give them a sweet smile. This made the person blush and hide away.

As a native of Northeast China, Chen Xiuting wasn't afraid of these stares. Supported by Su Nuannuan, she followed behind Cheng Qian with a gentle expression.

On the contrary, the three Su brothers behind the two felt a little apprehensive in the face of those fierce gazes. They felt as if the eyes fixed on them were about to devour them.

Cheng Qian led the group through a maze of turns and finally arrived at a secluded courtyard. Next to this courtyard were other courtyards of the same size.

At this moment, Cheng Qian pointed to a small courtyard and introduced it to Su Nuannuan and her group.

"This is the house that Jinjin and I were allocated. Next to it is the house of my second sister and her husband."

Upon hearing that this was the home of her eldest and second eldest sisters, Su Nuannuan looked around at the two houses.

The courtyard wasn't very big, with three bedrooms and a living room, and it was surrounded by a fence. The neighboring courtyard had the same layout.

After introducing the group to everyone, Cheng Qian took them to his home.

"Mom, you guys go to my house first. My second sister and the others are at the hospital with Yueyue, so there's no one home right now."

Chen Xiuting became anxious as soon as she heard this.

"What about the other two children?"

Su Nuannuan and the three Su brothers also looked over.
