PFC Chapter 257: Start stockpiling!
Chapter 257: Start stockpiling!
In the blink of an eye, it was May 1977, 5, and Jiang Zeyuan ran home with joy on his face.
His steps were brisk and his face was filled with excitement that was difficult to conceal.
As soon as he opened the door, he couldn't wait to shout: "Wife, I've changed my job! I was assigned to go back to Beijing to be the director of the Public Security Bureau."
Jian Yue, who was sorting the children's clothes in the house, stopped what she was doing when she heard this, and was extremely surprised.
He slowly stood up and looked at Jiang Zeyuan in disbelief.
"What did you say? Changed career? And was assigned to be the director of the Public Security Bureau?" She tried hard to digest this sudden news.
Jiang Zeyuan walked quickly to Jian Yue, grabbed her hand, and said again affirmatively: "Yes, wife, I have changed my job and will return to Beijing to be the director of the Public Security Bureau."
Jian Yue's mind was working rapidly.
I have a photographic memory and won't make mistakes.
What happened in 1978, everything happened ahead of schedule!
This shocked her and made her a little uneasy.
"It's so sudden!"
Jiang Zeyuan smiled excitedly, "I didn't expect this either. It might be an arrangement by the organization. But this is a good opportunity. We can go back to Beijing."
Jian Yue was silent for a while, then nodded.
What Jiang Zeyuan said made sense. At this time, returning to Beijing was indeed a good choice for their family.
Because the college entrance examination is coming soon.
Children need help from their family members to take care of them so that they can take exams, go to school, and develop their careers!
However, when she thought about leaving where she currently lived, Jian Yue felt a little reluctant.
Life on this island is very comfortable.
Eat as much seafood and fruit as you want!
Changes will bring some melancholy.
But this matter is a foregone conclusion, so just start stockpiling!
In the following days, Jian Yue was busy shuttling around every corner of the island like a wound-up spring.
First she disguised herself, put on a wide-brimmed straw hat, and dressed up as a middle-aged aunt.
We talked openly with the fruit farmers and purchased a large amount of fresh fruits at affordable prices.
She continuously put various fruits such as mangoes, longans, pineapples, etc. into her storage space.
Two days later, Jian Yue changed his clothes again. He put on a coarse fisherman's outfit and a worn-out hat, looking like an experienced old fisherman.
We came to the beach, bargained with the fishermen, and bought a lot of seafood.
She quickly put crabs, shrimps, fish and other seafood into the storage space. Looking at the increasing amount of seafood in the space, Jian Yue felt full of a sense of accomplishment.
Not only that, Jian Yue also turned her attention to the dried seafood in the market.
Wearing simple clothes and carrying a large cloth bag, he was picking out dried seafood from store to store in the market.
She bought all kinds of dried goods, including dried fish, dried shrimp, dried scallops, etc., and only stopped buying with satisfaction when her 128 cubic meters of storage space was filled.
After Jian Yue completed a series of stockpiling activities, she returned home dragging a somewhat tired body.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Jiang Zeyuan carrying the baby with a sad look on his face.
Jiang Zeyuan sat on the sofa, holding a child in each hand, looking helpless and funny.
"Wife, you're finally back." Jiang Zeyuan's tone was full of grievance, "These two little guys really tormented me today."
Yaoyao and Xiaoyi were also restless in Jiang Zeyuan's arms, waving their little hands, as if protesting to their mother against their father's "incompetence".
Jian Yue looked at Jiang Zeyuan's pitiful appearance and couldn't help laughing.
"What's wrong? Is it so hard to take care of a child?"
As he spoke, he walked over and took the child from Jiang Zeyuan's arms.
Jiang Zeyuan sighed, "I also want to join your action, but these two little guys can't leave without someone."
Jian Yue rolled her eyes at him speechlessly.
This guy, ever since he knew my secret, has been trying to get to the bottom of it.
Jiang Zeyuan felt disappointed again. Every time he talked about this matter, his wife avoided the topic.
There's really nothing we can do about her!
Jian Yue held the child and paced around the room, coaxing the child while thinking about leaving the island soon.
Jiang Zeyuan also stood up and followed Jian Yue, looking thoughtful.
"Wife, we are leaving soon. Do you want to prepare a farewell banquet to say goodbye to our friends here?"
Jian Yue paused slightly and thought for a moment.
"A farewell party... This is a good idea. After all, I have lived here for a while and made many friends."
Seeing Jian Yue was somewhat interested, Jiang Zeyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, if we all get together, it can be regarded as a perfect ending to our life on the island."
Just when Jian Yue and Jiang Zeyuan were enthusiastically discussing the farewell banquet.
"Knock knock knock", a crisp knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Jiang Zeyuan walked quickly to open the door. The door slowly opened and he saw Jiang Wenwen standing at the door with a smile on her face.
"Captain Jiang, Xiaoyue, I just sent my child to school, and then I heard Zheng Aijun say that you are going to transfer back to Beijing? Is this true?" Jiang Wenwen asked impatiently.
Jian Yue walked over slowly holding the child in her arms. The little one looked around curiously in her mother's arms.
"Yes, Sister Wenwen, it has just been confirmed. I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly." Jian Yue's tone contained both surprise and a hint of emotion.
Jiang Wenwen's eyes instantly revealed a deep reluctance, "I really don't want you to leave. Once you leave, it will be difficult for us to meet again in the future."
Jiang Zeyuan laughed heartily, trying to ease the somewhat sad atmosphere.
"We will definitely meet again if we have the chance. We are planning a farewell banquet, and you and Captain Zheng must come."
Jiang Wenwen nodded vigorously. "Of course, I will come. How are your preparations going? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Jian Yue quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, you're usually very busy. We can just prepare it ourselves."
I don’t want to cause trouble for Jiang Wenwen. After all, everyone has their own lives to live.
Jiang Wenwen chatted with them for a while before leaving reluctantly.
After Jiang Wenwen left, Jiang Zeyuan gently closed the door.
Jian Yue stood there, the smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by a hint of sadness.
"Oh, I really have to leave. I'm really reluctant to leave. I've lived here for two or three years, and everything here feels so familiar."
Jiang Zeyuan walked to Jian Yue and gently put his arm around her shoulders. "I know you're reluctant to leave, and so am I. But we have to look forward. Returning to Beijing is a new beginning for us."
Jian Yue nodded slightly and leaned on Jiang Zeyuan's shoulder.
"You're right, but I still feel a little sad."
Jiang Zeyuan gently stroked Jian Yue's hair, "Don't be sad, it's best for our family to be together!"
At this moment, the two little guys, Yaoyao and Xiaoyi, seemed to feel their parents' emotions and began to become restless.
Yaoyao waved her little hands and made a "yayaya" sound from her mouth.
Brother Xiaoyi twisted his body, trying to break free from his mother's arms.
Jian Yue was amused by the two children's actions, and the sadness in her heart eased a lot.
