After the replacement of the military officer, the soft stepmother won

Both of them were covered in sticky sweat.

Shen Li fell asleep in a daze. She only remembered that the man held her in his arms and took a shower in the bathroom for a long time. Then they lay down on the big bed in the bedroom. She fell asleep in Lu Jingchuan's arms.

……

The first batch of seafood carts has been successfully produced with the help of workshop staff.

A logistics team was set up on the island, and some drivers were recruited from outside to deliver freight to different places in the mainland.

Northwest scientific research base.

"My eyesight has been getting worse recently, especially at night. I can't see clearly." Mother Lu rubbed her sore eyes. "I'm not old enough to move, but my eyesight is not good enough. Let alone doing scientific research, I'm afraid that if my daughter-in-law gets pregnant in the future, I won't be able to take care of my grandson..."

"Me too, I can't see clearly at night, I have to light several kerosene lamps." Another scientist sighed, "Not only am I night blind, my skin is also dry, and my mouth gets blisters due to inflammation."

"Me too. Look at my mouth. It's full of cracks. I usually don't dare to speak. When I open my mouth, my lips crack and bleed. I also have mouth ulcers. My mouth hurts all day long. It's so uncomfortable." Scientist Mei said, "Not only my mouth, but my face is also flaky and dry."

"I thought I was the only one with this problem. My face is dry and tight all day long, and my gums bleed all the time..." Scientist Zhou shook her head helplessly, "I thought I was the only one with this problem, but it seems that we are all the same. This is called vitamin deficiency."

"The Northwest is too dry and transportation is blocked. Where can we get vitamins? We can only eat some beef and mutton to supplement our nutrition." Sister Mei sighed.

Mother Lu sighed helplessly. In the vast northwest, the environment is extremely harsh and fruits are very scarce. Last time, she finally spent a lot of money to buy some raisins, but she was reluctant to eat any of them and mailed them all to her daughter-in-law.

"We who do research are really like ascetics." Sister Zhou laughed at herself. "Even the strongest man can't stand it. I really miss the peaches from my hometown. The skin is soft and thin. After peeling it, the inside is tender. The peach flesh is white. It's sweet when you take a bite. It's so satisfying."

"I also want to eat apples. They are crispy when you bite them." Sister Mei said.

"It would be nice if I could eat a piece of watermelon in this hot summer." Mother Lu said with longing.

In Beijing, it's just a watermelon, what's the problem? You can eat as much as you want.

But in this vast Northwest, in this research institute, it is almost impossible to eat a watermelon.

She almost forgot what watermelon tasted like.

Mother Lu sometimes wondered what she was doing at her age. Wouldn't it be nice to return to Beijing and enjoy life as a rich wife? The conditions in the northwest were so difficult. Here she was like an ascetic monk and couldn't even see her son and daughter-in-law.

But the development of the motherland needs scientists like them. They must shine in their posts, promote the construction of the motherland, make the country richer and stronger, make the country better, and enable the people to live a better life.

This is also the goal that she and her partner strive for throughout their lives.

Mother Lu sighed, rubbed her tired and sore eyes, lit the kerosene lamp, and planned to continue to overcome the difficulties.

Just then, a cheer came from outside the door.

“The seafood truck is coming!”

"What seafood truck?" Sister Mei looked up and asked puzzledly.

"That's the seafood truck that was in the newspaper!" Someone outside the door said excitedly, "Two seafood trucks have arrived at our research base this time. One is full of seafood, and the other is full of fruit. Our meals will be improved!"

"Oh my god, seafood... I almost forgot what seafood tastes like in my life."

"Me too, and there are fruits..."

Someone shouted, "It's time for lunch now, let's go to the cafeteria and line up for dinner!"

"Let's go! Will there be seafood for our dinner tonight? Hahaha..."

"I wish I had a big apple."

"I want to eat a piece of watermelon."

The scientists walked towards the cafeteria.

There is no need to swipe a card to enter the cafeteria at the scientific research base. Scientists can eat for free and can eat as much as they want, depending on their appetite.

Everyone was holding a tray and waiting in a long queue.

Normally there isn't such a long line, but today when news came that a seafood truck had arrived at the base, everyone from the entire research base came and the line was very long.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Everyone has one." The uncle in the cafeteria said with a smile.

"Will there be any tomorrow?" someone asked.

"Our research base has signed an agreement with the island. The island will provide seafood and fruits to our research base at prices lower than the market price. From now on, we can all eat the freshest ingredients!" smiled the uncle in the cafeteria.

"Great!"

"Am I dreaming?"

"I didn't expect that we could eat seafood that only coastal people can eat, as well as this kind of tropical fruit, every day..." everyone said excitedly.

Father Lu looked ahead, then looked at Mother Lu and said excitedly, "I just saw a crab the size of a palm!"

"I almost forgot what crab tastes like." Mother Lu said with a smile.

"There is also a fruit buffet area with cut cantaloupe, peaches, watermelons, mangoes..." Father Lu said excitedly, "With fruits, we won't lack vitamins anymore."

"Yes." Mother Lu sighed.

Each scientist's plate was placed with a large crab, several large shrimps, a braised fish, and some cut fresh fruits.

Everyone sat at the dining table and ate.

While eating, someone shed tears and said, "I haven't tasted peaches for a long time."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that we could eat the freshest fruits at the base." Someone choked.

"This Hami melon... tastes very much like the one from our hometown." Someone wiped away tears.

They dedicated themselves to science and the motherland and did not feel it was bitter, but they had not eaten fresh fruits and seafood for a long time. The moment they tasted them, they could not help but have tears in their eyes.

"Is the watermelon sweet?" Father Lu looked at Mother Lu with a smile.

"Sweet." Mother Lu's eyes were moist.

"Thanks to Shen Li! If she hadn't developed this fresh-food truck, we wouldn't be able to eat these!" Someone in the crowd sighed.

"Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Lu have married a good daughter-in-law! She is young and has great potential!"

"Why am I not lucky enough to have such a good daughter-in-law?"

Everyone said enviously.

When talking about their daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Lu straightened their backs a little, their faces full of pride.

"Of course. It's a blessing for our whole family to marry such a good daughter-in-law!" said Father Lu with a smile.

-

Here, Shen Li’s canned food comes in five different flavors.

She pickled some dried sea fish, dried squid, and dried cod, packed them, and sent them to her parents-in-law.

The conditions there are harsh and cold, and making these meals ourselves can help improve their diet.

"Wife." Lu Jingchuan walked in from outside, and the man's cold and handsome face was a little soft, "I have good news to tell you."
