After the meal, while the sunshine was not too strong, Meng Xiaoman went to his private plot with a hoe and vegetable seeds.

The private land is at the foot of the hillside, not far from her home. Three-thirds of the land is nothing to Meng Xiaoman, who is used to farm work.

Xiao Xiangdong had already turned over the soil at some point. She hoeed the soil into ridges and started sowing seeds.

Yushan Island is located in the south and has higher temperatures. Autumn cucumbers, cabbage, celery, cabbage, radish, carrots, autumn beans...

Commonly eaten leeks, spinach, coriander, shallots, garlic, etc. can also be grown.

Meng Xiaoman divided the land into three parts for two days before planting the seeds and watering them.

After finishing the private plot and solving the daily food problem, Meng Xiaoman began to clean up the small courtyard again.

There is a large open space on the east side of the courtyard, and Meng Xiaoman plans to build a bathroom and toilet.

There are sewers in the family compound, so Xiao Xiangdong can just lay a new section of pipe.

It is also convenient for taking a shower or relieving yourself later.

Although the public toilets are hygienic, they are all squatting in a row. Meng Xiaoman is really not used to going to the toilet with others and sometimes joining in chatting.

Plan these and wait for Xiao Xiangdong to come back and let him take care of it. Meng Xiaoman went to Zheng Xiumei and asked her about going to sea.

Speaking of fantasies about the island, Meng Xiaoman's biggest expectation is to be able to catch the sea and harvest a lot of seafood.

To this end, she specially bought tools such as buckets, rakes, and sand shovels.

"Catching the sea? Why waste so much time? The seafood in the market is cheap and doesn't cost much, and it's fishy. It's okay to eat it a few times. As time goes by, I tell you, we'll eat enough. We Now, I don’t really like eating that stuff.”

"I'm from the mainland. I'm curious and want to see it. I heard it's very fun."

Zheng Xiumei glanced at her and felt that she had the vigor of a young person now. Meng Xiaoman had a tender face and pure appearance. She looked like a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, but she usually spoke and did things very thoughtfully. As for Zheng Xiumei, she sometimes forgets that she is actually only in her early twenties.

"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow, just in time to take the two little ones at home out for some fun."

"Thank you, sister-in-law. By the way, sister-in-law, can I bring others?"

"Who are you taking?"

"Political Commissar Meng's wife."

"Her? She's cute and clean. She doesn't usually play with us. She gets dirty all the time. Is she willing to go?"

"Let me ask, I have been in contact with her, and she seems to be a very kind person."

"Then ask, as long as she wants to come, I don't care. The sea doesn't belong to my family, right?" Zheng Xiumei said with a smile.

Meng Xiaoman knew that she had a cheerful personality, so she mentioned this matter to her.

"Okay, then what time do you want to get up tomorrow morning? Do you need to prepare anything?"

When Zheng Xiumei heard what she said, she smiled and said, "That's not it. You don't need to get up so early to catch the sea. You can go there at eight or nine in the morning. By then, just bring a shovel, a hoe, a rake, and a bucket."

"Then I'll come find you at eight-thirty in the morning."

As agreed with Zheng Xiumei, Meng Xiaoman went to Gu Mengjie's house again.

Gu Mengjie was drying flower petals in the yard. She was very happy to see her and pulled her to pick petals together.

"What are you doing with these?"

"Take a bath? It smells very good. Smell it."

Gu Mengjie picked up a yellow multi-petal flower and handed it to her nose.

Meng Xiaoman sniffed, the rich sweet smell was very suitable for Gu Mengjie's temperament.

"what is this flower?"

"Cosmellosa. Look at the big one in the corner of the courtyard. That's it."

There were too many flowers in the yard. Meng Xiaoman followed the direction she pointed and saw them. There are so many flowers blooming, clustered together, like clusters of yellow clouds.

"It's beautiful and smells good."

"Yeah, it's one of the easier roses to grow. Let Changqing transplant one for you later. When it blooms, the whole yard will be filled with fragrance."

"Okay." It happens that we need to build a toilet at home, which can cover up the smell.

It would be best to plant one in the corner of the yard adjacent to the next door. Xu Qinglian's toilet is on the other side of the wall, and the smell comes from time to time, which is really smoky.

"By the way, sister-in-law Zheng Xiumei and I are going to catch the sea tomorrow. Do you want to go?"

"Who is Zheng Xiumei?" She rarely goes out. She only knows that the team leader's wife is called Shi Cuimei. The other people in the family area are familiar at best and don't know her name at all.

"The wife of Wang Youliang of the Second Battalion, a sister-in-law who is very easy to get along with. Do you want to go?"

"Is it fun? Are you tired?"

"It should be fun. You can pick up a lot of seafood, including razor clams, conches, clams, crabs, as well as shells and starfish." Meng Xiaoman recalled what she saw on the video.

"Then I'll go and pick up some shells to make a wind chime."

She is indeed a sentimental woman, unlike Meng Xiaoman who only thinks about delicious food and stores more food in the space so that she can have a seafood dinner at any time in the future.

"Okay, you can teach me when the time comes, and I'll make one and hang it up. By the way, do you have any tools to catch the sea?"

"What tool?" His big eyes were full of doubts.

Okay, no need to ask, there definitely isn't one, "Forget it, I'll get it for you." Fortunately, she bought two sets, thinking that she could go with Xiao Xiangdong when she had time.

After agreeing on a time, Meng Xiaoman returned home with the flower petals Gu Mengjie gave her for bathing.

As soon as she walked to the door of Xu Qinglian's house, her daughter bumped into her and said, "Auntie, auntie, it's not good." Meng Xiaoman saw the tears on her face and asked what was wrong, "Mom, my stomach is bleeding. I need it. I need it." I gave birth to a younger brother.”

This is about to give birth.

Meng Xiaoman hurriedly ran to her house. Xu Qinglian was lying on the ground, holding her stomach, moaning and groaning. There was a pool of amniotic fluid on the ground.

Meng Xiaoman had no knowledge in this area. She only knew that it would be difficult to survive after the amniotic fluid was over. He quickly got a short stool and lifted her feet up. "Put your feet on it. Too much amniotic fluid is not good. I'll go call someone."

I knocked on the door of the house next door and told an unfamiliar sister-in-law that Xu Qinglian was about to give birth and asked her to take a look, and then ran to Zheng Xiumei's house.

Zheng Xiumei put down the things in her hands and ran with her to Xu Qinglian's house. On the way, she picked up someone and asked her to tell Qi Chengzhi that his wife was going to give birth and ask him to come back quickly.

The sister-in-law next door didn't know how to deliver a baby, so she was pulled by Xu Qinglian, who was crying in pain, and kept comforting her.

Zheng Xiumei was still experienced, so she took off her skirt and took a look, "No, you have to go to the hospital."

Tell the sister-in-law to quickly go to the army to find a car.

Xu Qinglian ate too much during her pregnancy, the fetus was too big, she slipped and gave birth prematurely, and she could not deliver the baby at home.

"Ouch, it hurts so much, my stomach." Xu Qinglian tugged on Meng Xiaoman's clothes, "I must keep my son."

Meng Xiaoman was upset by her shouting, "Stop shouting! Save your energy and give birth to the baby later!"
