After Qin Rou came out of the kindergarten, she went to find out which local People's Broadcasting Station was nearby. She asked a few passers-by, and found the address of Lucheng People's Broadcasting Station by bicycle.

This radio station was recently split and newly built, so it is about to recruit announcers at this time, two announcers at a time.

Qin Rou went to sign up.

It would be a good job to be an announcer here. An announcer in this era is a golden job envied by everyone. Compared with other physical work, it is just broadcasting in the room, which is very easy.

Qin Rou also considered going to work in the kindergarten, but it was too exhausting after a day, and she also wanted to manage the vegetable garden at home.

In the first year of moving in, I had to tidy up the house and the yard.

Riding a bicycle, Qin Rou went to the nearby villages to ask for a few catties of fresh white radishes, and she also asked for some fruits that were about to rot. Put it, generally no one cares.

She rode back, put down the radishes first, and started to transplant a few seedlings in the yard.

The reason why Qin Rou went to the villagers to buy radishes was also to understand the situation here in detail. Of course, because of the local accent and language barrier, they could understand her, but she might not be able to understand her, so she could only barely communicate.

Thanks to her previous work as a kindergarten teacher, she still has a lot of language talent, as well as a talent for blind gestures, and she has a lively chat with the aunts in the village.

The auntie heard that she was a new member of the military, just married, so she was very kind, and gave her a yellow lantern pepper and a few young Gongsun orange seedlings, saying that it seemed to wish her an early baby, or something, or something. It is said that it is very beautiful to grow, but Qin Rou didn't understand the details.

Chili, it seems that there are more children and more blessings.

Qin Rou scratched her head, but she had never seen a yellow pepper before, so it probably wasn't very spicy, the redder the pepper looked, the hotter it looked.

Although she has never seen this chili pepper, she seems to have seen it before when the aunt pointed to the Gongsun orange planted in front of her door. It looks like a green kumquat. The aunt said that it can bear fruit for a year, and it is very beautiful to grow. She also said that it can Insect repellent, you can put it in the dish...

Anyway, it sounds amazing.

Qin Rou had only seen this fruit when drinking fruit tea before. She also found that this fruit was like the green fruit that was served with grilled saury. When eating grilled fish, she cut the fruit in half and squeezed the juice into the grilled fish. Very tasty on fish, a perfect match!

She still doubted that this small fruit was a small green lemon.

Anyway, no matter what it is, plant it first, all kinds! ! Plant a little, don't eat it, it's also good-looking when it's a potted plant.

What's more, it can repel insects. The sweet and sour fruit smells refreshing and appetizing.

"I have an idea."

Qin Rou was planning how to plan and design the small yard in front of the house before. This yard is not too big, but it is overgrown with weeds. It really needs to be carefully planned and planned.

It is a rectangular yard. From the entrance of the house to the entrance of the yard, the length is about seven meters, and the width is about eleven or twelve meters. Qin Rou plans to divide the yard into two, and pave one meter from the middle to the entrance of the yard. The stone road around two or three leads directly to the outside of the yard.

The left side of their yard is mainly used to raise chickens and grow vegetables. The outermost layer is used as a chicken coop. Raising chickens has a strong taste. It is better to be far away from the house. Make a small fence with a width of 1.5 meters and a length of 2 meters to house the chickens. Inside, next to the chicken coop is a vegetable field. At first, Qin Rou didn't plan to build a large vegetable field, but planned it into a small vegetable field that is three meters wide and five meters long, about fifteen or six square meters.

The vegetable field has five ridges, five rows are planted vertically, and then three bamboos are tied with ropes, and inserted into the vegetable ridges like a tripod to facilitate climbing vines.

Two or three meters further into the vegetable field, it will be close to the house, so Qin Rou plans to plant yellow lantern peppers and green kumquats on the outside of the vegetable field. Green kumquats have a sweet and sour smell and can also prevent insects and deodorize.

The yard on the left is planned in this way for the time being. The yard on the right is not going to grow vegetables. Qin Rou plans to sow grass seeds on the field facing the past. After all, there are cubs at home, so give them a plot of 15 square meters Mi's small lawn, you can play in the lawn if you have nothing to do, plant some potted flowers and plants around it, set up a flower stand or a pergola, put deck chairs and tables under it, and lay down and watch the cubs leisurely are playing on the lawn.

The imagination in the mind is beautiful, but the reality... is still at the first step.

All you have is a barren yard.

Qin Rou: "..."

To play the spirit of Yugong Yishan!

Qin Rou decided to take things slowly. First of all, she had to fertilize the vegetable field, collect more rotten fruits, plant ash, coconut bran, chicken manure, etc.

"Big project, don't worry."

"Do it yourself, that is the happiness from scratch!"

Qin Rou comforted herself and took things slowly. After she planted the pepper seedlings and two green kumquat seedlings, she also planted a green kumquat in a large wooden trough and raised it on the balcony on the second floor.

After dealing with these, Qin Rou went to pack the white radishes she bought. She washed all the white radishes first, cut them into long strips, spread them in the yard to dry, and made pickled radishes after drying.

The aunt in the village told her that black fish was delicious, and they would eat this at the New Year's feast in their village. Qin Rou memorized the name and planned to ask about it in the future.

At noon, Qin Rou was alone at home, found two hairtails from the freezer, thawed them, and fried the hairtails with coconut oil. This is also the method my aunt introduced, saying that frying fish with coconut oil is especially delicious.

She didn't have green onions either. She put ginger and garlic in the hairtail that had been marinated for a while, and she fried it directly in the pan.

I don't know if the quality of the coconut oil is not good, or there is something wrong with Qin Rou's craftsmanship, the oily smoke is really big! !

"It's really uncomfortable without a range hood."

Qin Rou covered her mouth and nose with a towel, thinking that steaming and boiling are the healthiest.

Putting the fried hairtail into the plate, Qin Rou washed a few small green kumquats from the aunt, cut them open, and poured the juice on the fried hairtail.

After pouring it, it smells sour and fishy.

Qin Rou picked up a piece. She took a bite and felt that the fish meat was very crispy. The most wonderful thing was the green kumquat juice poured on it. If eaten alone, the green orange juice was too sour, but when poured on top of the fish meat, it was really sweet and sour. Go fishy! !

Delicious! !

With this sour taste, even fried fish doesn't feel so angry when you eat it.

The desire to grow oranges is a little stronger! !

It's delicious, but it's still very hot after eating.

Next time I make it, let Lu Yan try it.

Qin Rou put the remaining six or seven small green kumquats in the freezer to freeze, and kept three or four for herself, made a cup of green tea, threw in the cut small green kumquats, and added some sugar.

If you just ate something that got angry, you must drink some fruit tea to defeat the fire.

In the afternoon, Qin Rou sat in front of the house to enjoy the cool, holding an enamel jar in her hand, which contained green kumquat fruit tea, which was sweet, like the fruit tea from a milk tea shop, and brought her back to the commercial plaza in an instant. It's just that the enamel jar containing fruit tea made her immediately recall where she was.

The big red flowers on the surface of the enamel jar are festive and gorgeous.

Qin Rou yawned, and the sea breeze was blowing. She thought that everything was ready, and she only needed a deck chair. It was also a big day now, so why not go to the beach to sleep.

It's really strange, when I came to the beach, I have no interest in going to see the sea yet.

"Are you a new family member?"

"I saw you when I dropped off the kids in the morning!"

"What are you drinking?"

Qin Rou looked out of the outer yard, she was a young military wife, she looked about 20 years old, wearing a blue commoner dress, with a mushroom head with ears, she was short in stature, she looked a bit cute and cute.

Qin Rou invited her in, poured her a cup of fruit tea, and the two of them went to the balcony on the second floor to enjoy the cool breeze.

The two chatted for a few words.

This little sister-in-law's surname is Li, and her voice doesn't match her appearance at all. Her voice is very rough, and she speaks like a lumpy scumbag.

"You came from Bencheng before, so let's get close!"

Ever since she came to Qiongzhou Island, Li Qinghua felt that their place was quite close.

"I didn't want to go back when I came here. It's too far away." Li Qinghua waved her hand. She took a sip of the fruit tea and found that the tea was sweet and delicious.

She was most afraid that those strange new family members would give her strange things to drink. Last time, she accidentally drank coffee, but she didn't vomit to death.

This new family member's tea is sweet and sour, very delicious!

She is pretty and the tea tastes good. Li Qinghua has a good impression of her.

Li Qinghua and her man, Liu Kai, were married when they were young. They were married at the age of 14 or 15 in the countryside. The man was ten years older than her, and he didn't consummate the house. The man had been serving as a soldier outside, leaving her alone in the village. Fighting with mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

At the age of twenty, Liu Kai gave birth to a baby boy, and Li Qinghua followed the man to the island to join the army.

After coming here, Comrade Qinghua felt that this place was really a paradise.

Oh my god, it's so far away anyway, she won't go back even if she is killed!

Her man is very motivated and can endure hardships. He is the political commissar of the Zhangchengbei regiment. When she first followed her, she made a lot of jokes and embarrassed their old Liu. Li Qinghua also wanted to be a good wife from the beginning, but she Can't do it.

Li Qinghua has no education and can't find a suitable job, but the man's salary is not bad, and many family members are not looking for a job, which is not a big deal.

But her man often scolded her and asked her to learn from Zhang Tuan's lover, that is, Huang Xinying, saying how is her daughter-in-law and how is she.

study? Learn ass.

Li Qinghua didn't want to learn from Huang Xinying, and she couldn't learn it either. After a fight with the man, she simply stopped doing anything and became more and more lazy.

Ever since she became lazy, Li Qinghua realized that this is really the life of a god!

Anyway, there is a kindergarten and a cafeteria here, so I don’t do anything every day, and the day goes by like this.

Be as lazy as you can, how wonderful it is to live a day like this.

Huang Xinying was a well-known good wife in the family courtyard, and Li Qinghua was a famous lazy wife in the family courtyard. She was so lazy at home that she didn't help her when the oil bottle was down, which became a joke in the family courtyard.

As long as he has no face or skin, Comrade Li Qinghua feels that he is quite happy.

It is very difficult for her husband who often sighs and sighs.

Recently, her husband has been arguing with her to separate the bed. What a crime, she is about to get divorced.

Divorce is possible, but Li Qinghua doesn't want to leave Qiongzhou Island. She loves this island more than men.

Her husband scolded her: "You can't live like before!"

Yes, she had to save herself in order to stay on the island.

Li Qinghua looked at Qin Rou. This beautiful new family member still lives next door to Huang Xinying. She lives in this house with "feng shui". One can imagine what her future will be like.

Seeing this little Qin girl leisurely enjoying the cold and drinking tea alone, she might be as lazy as her.

— She is probably about to get divorced.

Li Qinghua followed the political commissar and listened to a few words of revolutionary language. She felt that she might be able to form a divorce front alliance with this new Comrade Xiao Qin and become a comrade in arms of the revolution.

"Your man can only come back two or three times a week?"

Li Qinghua blurted out: "That's really good..."

Her man is from the army on the shore, and the number of times he goes back to the subordinate hospital is fairly frequent. Li Qinghua hopes that this man will come back less often, and her life will be happier if he comes back less often, so as not to listen to him nagging.

Qin Rou: "..."

something wrong with you !

Li Qinghua seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, she covered her mouth, and then thought that she had already formed an alliance with Comrade Xiao Qin in front of her, so why should she hide many things from her.

"Xiao Qin, my man is thinking of another woman. What hope do I have in this day?"

"I'll tell you about this, don't tell anyone else."

Li Qinghua felt that her man was greedy for other people's wives, so she liked Xiaoqin's next door Zhang Tuan and his wife Huang Xinying.

Qin Rou: "..."

This is really a big melon.

She has only been here for a few days, and she heard such melons.

"Okay, okay." But Qin Rou didn't want to eat such a melon at all. She just came here and didn't know anything about the situation.

Regarding other people's family affairs, Qin Rou is also unwilling to ask more questions.

Li Qinghua didn't say who her man liked, but she just believed that his heart was not with her.

Comrade Qinghua also knew that she should progress gradually and get along with her ally Xiao Qin. She hoped that Xiao Qin would fall in love with Qiongzhou Island as much as she did, and would stay and work here after the divorce.

This little Qin is beautiful and looks like a cultured urbanite, maybe he can give her some advice on staying on the island to find a job in the future.

"This fruit tea is really delicious!"

"Next time you come to my house, I..."

Li Qinghua realized that she really had nothing to entertain others.

"I invite you to eat the thorn fruit."

"I'll treat you to eat now! I'll take it home!"

After saying that, Li Qinghua ran away in a hurry.

After a while, she came back with a "big guy" in her arms. Qin Rou found that the thorny fruit in her mouth was... jackfruit? ! !

Li Qinghua is very lazy, her yard is hardly taken care of, and she doesn't grow anything else, except for a jackfruit tree in her yard, which has been kept in her yard, but this jackfruit tree is very strange, it seems that she doesn't need to take care of it Li Qinghua looked at it when she thought about it, and watered it. It also grew very well, and it would bear fruit, and it would bear very large fruits.

Li Qinghua said to Qin Rou seriously: "Xiao Qin, you just came here, you don't know, all the trees here have their own ideas, and their fruits ripen as soon as they want, and no one can guess when they will ripen." I'm familiar with it."

"As soon as this fruit is ripe, I will pick one."

"The same is true for its leaves. In autumn and winter, the leaves will not turn yellow or fall. It may have to wait until March of the next year. It suddenly remembered, huh? I seem to have forgotten the leaves. I have to shake it. I have fallen leaves!"
