Finally, on the morning when Zhou Qi arrived at Kongtong Island, the instructor of the army took over the task and made the decision with a slap on his forehead.

It is definitely too late to build a house now, and the army is financially tight. There is no extra money to build a big house for Commander Zhou's son, so I will just find a house for him to live in first.

Anyway, this kind of second-generation military, to put it mildly, is ignorant of the sufferings of the people and comes to the island to experience life. There is a chance that after two days they can’t stand the harsh environment on the island and call their dad, crying, and get transferred.

Several leaders who were drinking hot water from enamel cups were also caught off guard and choked. The instructor's words were rough and rational, and the instructor's method was really three things minus two. It was very good.

They immediately decided unanimously to arrange a decent house for Zhou Qi.

…………

When Xie Yanqiu took the key, he looked at the rusty lock and frowned. Is the iron lump so rusty that no one would knock it down and secretly sell it for scrap?

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I tried this lock before it came here, and the key will definitely fit in." In order to protect the face of the unit leader, Xiao Wang vowed.

He didn't lie. He actually tried to open the lock before Zhou Qi came, but he just opened the lock and left.

Xie Yanqiu laughed a few times. Does she care about this?

Finally, after Xie Yanqiu desperately twisted it a few times, and the yellow rust stained the palm of his hand, the iron lump slowly bounced away while Xiao Wang's face turned red with shame.

creak-

The old and rusty rotating shaft was slowly turned away by the woman while breathing heavily.

The door is open...

Overgrown and disorganized.

This was Xie Yanqiu's first impression of the yard inside the door, but she could accept it. This yard just had more weeds than her previous yard.

For a moment, there was dead silence at the door, and everyone subconsciously held their breath.

Xiao Li next to him couldn't hold his expression any longer and was about to cry.

Instructor, could you please stop tricking the recruits like this next time and use someone else to trick them?

The last trace of helplessness hanging on Zhou Qi's face disappeared, and instead, endless guilt occupied his entire face.

He knew that the environment on the island was very difficult, and he had stopped Xie Yanqiu when he proposed to come. But when he really faced this situation, he blamed himself for not being strict enough when he stopped him. He felt sorry for insisting on coming to accompany him to endure hardships. Suffering woman.

He seemed to have owed a debt, a debt that belonged exclusively to this woman.

It was Xie Yanqiu who finally broke the dead silence. Feeling the emotional fluctuations of the two people next to her, she swallowed her throat, not knowing whether to comfort them or herself. She calmly smiled calmly: "Well, it's not too bad. Just clean up. alright."

"that……"

Before Zhou Qi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xie Yanqiu.

She was afraid that Zhou Qi would open his mouth and blame Xiao Li. In fact, no one expected this incident, and no one was to blame.

"Xiao Li, you should go back first. You are also very busy at work. Zhou Qi and I can take care of things here."

"sister in law……"

Xiao Li's voice was choked, and he choked back the next words.He actually wanted to persuade his sister-in-law to let him and Xiao Wang stay and help. After all, they were both pregnant and it was really difficult for them to do such physical work as cleaning.

But he still stopped in Zhou Qi's eyes. Why did he feel that the newly arrived Captain Zhou was the reincarnation of a jealous man?

Xiao Wang originally thought that Xie Yanqiu would raise his eyebrows and scold him or the leader of the army. After all, what he did was not very authentic.

But Xie Yanqiu not only did not criticize, but also considered very virtuously and generously that he still had a lot of work to do...

He swallowed his throat and moved his eyes to Captain Zhou.

Zhou Qi looked at Xie Yanqiu with a sullen face. Seeing that there was no hint of displeasure on her face, and the tone of her conversation with Xiao Li just now did not sound like she was pretending to be suppressing herself, this time she calmed down her heart that was hanging in the air.

"You go back first."

"Yes!"

Xiao Li stood up straight, gave a military salute, turned around and went back to the car.

The troop jeep bumped up and down the narrow dirt road and disappeared from the sight of the two men after a few minutes.

Xie Yanqiu then bent down to move the things in.

"I come."

Zhou Qi was the first to bend down and hang all the things on his body. Xie Yanqiu had already vomited all the way, how could he be willing to let a woman carry things again.

Xie Yanqiu was not polite this time, mainly because she really didn't have the strength to vomit.

Fortunately, when she left in the morning, she had steamed buns and pickles in her bag. After she and Zhou Qi entered the house, they found a quick table to clean up, sat in front of the table, took out the pickles and steamed buns, and drank the remaining water in the kettle. Had a simple meal.

After half an hour, Xie Yanqiu felt that she had regained her strength. Although it was a tough journey, she recovered very quickly due to her physical fitness, which she had been working on since she was a child.

When he went out, the man had already found a sickle in the house and cut the grass in the yard.

In the scorching heat of the summer afternoon, the man was mowing the grass with his head down. Crystal clear beads of sweat flowed smoothly down his resolute and stern silhouette, soaking into his upper body shirt as if planned in advance. The texture of his muscles under the translucent material was visible. The sun was looming, stimulating every inch of Xie Yanqiu's nerves.

She swallowed, realized her dirty thoughts, and shook her head.

You have to find time to read the four classics to clear your mind of colored waste.

Seeing that the man was working vigorously, she was embarrassed to be idle, so she turned around and went to the house to find a hoe. The man only cut the weeds, but there was still a layer of thick and short stems on the surface.

It is difficult to pull out, you can only dig it out with a hoe.

Zhou Qi came over and took the hoe away from her hand without saying a word, wiped her sweat with the army green towel hanging around her neck, and said in a deep voice: "You sit next to me and have a rest. I can do it myself. I'll finish it in a while." I’ll take you to buy some daily necessities.”

"Oh."

This sudden concern easily set a task for Xie Yanqiu. Her task was to gather enough energy to go out and buy something.

After staying with Zhou Qi for a few days after her rebirth, Zhou Qi has become accustomed to the gentle and dignified she is now, and she has also begun to slowly get used to Zhou Qi who cares about her from time to time.

Even when he saw Zhou Qi and Chen Jianye being jealous on the boat in the morning, Xie Yanqiu actually had a moment of misunderstanding.

Zhou Qi also likes her as much as he does.

She stared deeply at the man's sweating back and shook her head, feeling that her thoughts were ridiculous.

He had done so many evil things in his previous life, and now he was trying to atone for his sins. Even if he liked himself, how could he develop so quickly?

She must have contracted Pu Xin's bad habits recently.

Because he had the experience of growing vegetables in Zhou's yard before, Zhou Qi is also a smart person who knows everything at once, so when he picked up the hoe this time, he easily dug out all the weed roots in the yard.

Xie Yanqiu was not idle either. He went into the house and simply sprinkled some water. He used the existing sanitary tools to clean the house briefly and counted the daily necessities he needed to buy.

When he came out, Zhou Qi had already cleared the weeds in the yard and was leaning against the wall to wipe his sweat.

The two of them raised their eyes, and their eyes met without warning. They were both stunned. They didn't expect that the other party could work so quickly.

For a moment, they all saw a knowing smile on each other's faces.

"Let's go?"
