Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

"Row."

Before the two of them could say anything, they walked to the courtyard where the art troupe lived.

Cheng Cheng couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this island is too small, she couldn't chat anymore before she had enough fun.

As soon as they stepped into the yard, people in the yard quickly noticed the two of them.

She exclaimed, "Cheng Qianfan, how did you and Political Commissar Xu come back together?!"

Those who had ideas about Political Commissar Xu looked at Cheng Cheng with a thorn in their eyes.

Well, she pretended to be uninterested when they were talking about it last night, but now she is flirting with men behind their backs.

Cheng Qianfan! You are awesome!

Chengcheng looked at everyone staring at them, looking at them with inquiring, jealous and puzzled eyes.

She smiled and said, "What's wrong with everyone? Political Commissar Xu, thank you for troubling me today. Please go and fetch water for us in person."

Political Commissar Xu looked at the group of soldiers he had brought with him and had already walked behind him. He did not say anything else in front of everyone, but just said, "It's not a problem. If there's nothing else, I'll leave them here and take them away first."

It would be a bit inappropriate for him to stand here for too long, as that would prove that there was something unusual between them.

"Well, if there's nothing else, you can go now. Bye."

Chengcheng looked into his eyes, implying that everything was fine with her here, and he could go.

Political Commissar Xu put down the bucket and waved, "Bye."

He turned around and a group of soldiers followed him and left.

Before the group reached the door, Teacher An called them to stop.

"Political Commissar Xu!" Teacher An walked up to him and told him about the progress of the morning's arrangements. He also asked when the art troupe would start performing here.

Political Commissar Xu said without hesitation: "Let's make arrangements after the arrangements are completed. The weather on the island is unpredictable, and I can't set a time for you. If there happens to be a typhoon that day, the troupe will not be able to perform, right?"

"Yes, then I'll come back to ask you after you've arranged it." Teacher An agreed, as the weather on the island is complex and changeable.

Political Commissar Xu pursed his lips and said, "Okay, I'll leave then."

"See you."

In the courtyard, the girls looked around and saw Political Commissar Xu walking away. They ran to Cheng Cheng and asked her, "Cheng Qianfan, how did you get back with Political Commissar Xu just now? Tell me quickly, have you captured Political Commissar Xu?"

"Oh, stop asking her. If you ask her again, she will become even more proud."

"That's right. She went and captured Political Commissar Xu without telling us. How many people here can compare to her in terms of scheming?!"

Cheng Cheng glanced at the people in the group and continued, "Did you forget that I felt a little uncomfortable this morning? When I was getting better and was about to get up and wash up, Political Commissar Xu came. He came to deliver supplies to us. Look at the kettle and kerosene lamp in the room. They were all delivered by him and his men."

"That's not right. How did Political Commissar Xu come back with you carrying a bucket?!"

Seeing that the person who had feelings for Political Commissar Xu couldn't wait to ask her, Cheng Cheng smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, just listen to me slowly. I have to say that you guys were too much this morning. You didn't even leave me some water. I couldn't wash without water. It was only thanks to Political Commissar Xu who happened to come that I was saved."

"Qianfan, I clearly left some water for you this morning. Didn't you see it in the bucket?" Chengcheng's roommate told the truth at this time.

Cheng Cheng stopped answering and looked at the people present.

……

After a long time, someone couldn't stand her staring gaze anymore and admitted that he had used too much water.

"It was me. Yes, I used it all up, but we ran out of water last night. There was only half a bucket left. With so many people using water this morning, how could there be enough water in the bucket?!"

Cheng Cheng's roommate: "Then you shouldn't use Qian Fan's water. I saved it for her this morning."

"Who knew you kept it? I saw no one in the bucket so I used it. What's wrong with that? Isn't the bucket everyone's? It's yours? You can give it to whoever you want!?"

Orange roommate: "You..."

The female manager ate the water for a long time before she remembered her missed duty and said, "Okay, stop arguing. We have water now. There is no point in talking about what happened."

Cheng Cheng's roommate glared at the man, took Cheng Cheng's hand and said, "Come on, Qian Fan, let's go back to the room."

The man still felt that he was right when he saw the person he had quarreled with leave, and he said to the people present: "I was right, that's how it is. It's not written on the bucket that it's for Cheng Qianfan's exclusive use, so can't all of us here use it!?"

Teacher An usually didn't want to get involved in the girls' trivial matters, but this time she couldn't bear it and said, "Are you guys not going to eat lunch? You were having a good chat in the yard. Whose turn is it to cook today? If you are all free, why don't you go to the kitchen and help out?"

The female manager also took over the conversation and arranged for people to prepare lunch.

The army canteen provides meals for the art troupe, but when they saw the food in the army canteen, they found that it was not something they, who are from Nanjing, were used to.

The seafood porridge was watery and there weren't many vegetables to eat.

So they bought a duck from the dock at a high price and prepared to make salted duck.

In addition to making this, you also need to make some mixed vegetables to mix with it.

I heard from the islanders here that poultry such as chickens, ducks and pigs are hard to find here, and the only way is to take a boat to the market at the pier to buy them.

Therefore, the cost of traveling back and forth is much higher, and the island is too small to raise too many animals.

But the climate here can grow a lot of fruits.

The people on the island mainly eat seafood and fruits as their staple food, and the rest are side dishes.

After hearing what they said, everyone in the art troupe was stunned.

The Nanjing people grew up in an environment where staple food is indispensable. They have been accustomed to eating it since childhood. They can accept not having staple food for a short period of time, but they cannot stand it for a long time.

I won’t feel full if I don’t eat staple food.

I reflected these demands to the troops in the army, and they were very friendly and didn't feel that there was much to do for them as they were from outside the area.

Instead, they said they would help solve the problem, but the art troupe would have to pay for the staple food themselves.

After all, it’s not easy to take a boat trip to the island.

The group naturally agreed. These were all as they should be. It was good enough that they didn’t ask you for travel expenses.

They were arranged by the state to be sent from the Nanjing Art Troupe to perform for the soldiers stationed here.

Essentially all performance expenses including travel expenses will be reimbursed upon return.

Only free public-funded travel can attract so many people in the group to compete for a spot on this trip.

Besides, we don’t know how long we will live here. The Nanjing Art Troupe has tentatively scheduled a month for this performance, but no one can guarantee that the performance can be completed on time.

The performance stage was built by the troops, but they had to take care of the specific performance arrangements themselves.

Not only that, everyone needs some time to recover from the preparations before the performance. They can’t perform right after arriving here, and the members of the band need to get used to it.
