Chapter 237

Most people hear Sea Island, the first reaction is that it is surrounded by the island on all sides, all seawater.

Actually, the Sea Island is not small, covering an area of 33,900 square kilometers.

The Sea Island is not entirely seawater, there are also many freshwater resources.

Taking a freshwater reservoir in a continent near the military region as an example, freshwater fish such as red sea bream, yellow croaker, and yellow drum grow in the reservoir all year round.

Old Man Lu has been on the Sea Island for more than half a year, and his approachable attitude has allowed him to make many friends here.

Among them is a senior fishing enthusiast who likes fishing.

After a few times, they became familiar.

This time, the other party invited him to fish in the reservoir, saying he would drive to pick him up. He thought it would be boring for one person to go, so he might as well ask the old friends who wanted to go together.

In the end, Old Man Pei, Old Man Lin, and Old Man Li, who had just recovered from a cold, all said they wanted to go.

Okay, then go together.

Before going, they found some scraps from the kitchen, tinkered with them to become fish bait for nesting, and it was fragrant.

Of course, before leaving, they still reported to the people in the retirement home, otherwise, if they couldn't find them, the staff in the retirement home would be worried.

Four old men, dressed warmly and vigorously, carrying fishing tools and grilling tools, got on the local villager's ox cart and went to the reservoir to fish!

The staff in the retirement home were all envious. If they retired, could they be like this group of old men?

Thinking about when to have a trip with three or five friends, and having the country provide for the elderly, it's really good.

However, they also understood that these old men were good in their youth, and now it is right for the country to provide for them...

Ye Qinghong invited Shen Man to sit at home, so Shen Man carried a basket of pastries she made in her spare time and came to visit.

Unexpectedly, there were really quite a few pregnant military wives in the room, almost everyone was knitting.

"Manman is here, sit down quickly. Come in and roast fire, I opened the window for ventilation, it will be fine."

Ye Qinghong had attended junior high school, and her physics and chemistry were okay. She knew that burning charcoal in a closed space was not good for the body, so she was prepared.

"Sister Qinghong, you are?"

"Knitting, weaving towels. Wool pants, wool sweaters, two yuan for one piece of manual labor."

Ye Qinghong enthusiastically greeted Shen Man to sit over, excitedly introducing the knitting needles to Shen Man, explaining the origin of this work.

"It was Political Commissar Ji who pulled strings and got a batch of wool for us military wives to spend the winter and find something to do."

"Too grateful to Political Commissar Ji, otherwise I would have nothing to do, and I would be anxious."

"Isn't it? Weaving a pair of wool pants, weaving a top, and getting two yuan for labor, it's too cost-effective!"

"Shen Man, do you want to learn too?"

"Ah? My hands are clumsy, so I won't learn."

After Shen Man heard the ins and outs, she also admired Political Commissar Ji.

This is good, the military wives have work to do and labor money to get.

As for these finished products, they will be transported to remote areas to keep the soldiers on duty warm.

Killing two birds with one stone, it's a good thing.

"Manman, next month you might enter the due date, be careful, if you feel something is wrong, just shout for people."

"Yes, don't endure it alone. Your family is not far from us, if you shout, we can hear it."

"Exactly, exactly, don't be afraid, we will all support you."

Taking people's hands is short, eating people's mouths is soft. These military wives didn't eat less of the small snacks Shen Man sent on weekdays, so how could they not protect this big sister?

And Shen Man was a military doctor. In their eyes, a military doctor was a very stable position that saved lives and healed the wounded.

They would be envious, but not jealous.

Because they knew their own weight.

Being close to Shen Man, in the future, if they and their children had a headache or fever, the distant water couldn't save the near fire, but Shen Man was near!

Although they had some small thoughts, they didn't have bad intentions and also treated Shen Man sincerely.

"Okay, thank you sisters-in-law, I will pay attention."

Shen Man nodded, accepting everyone's kindness.

From time to time, looking at how the military wives flew needles and threads, the wisdom of the working people was truly endless.

With such simple knitting needles, they could knit sleeves, trouser legs...

But this looked like delicate work, she couldn't do it.

"Manman, have the names of your children been taken?"

"Mm, my grandfather and the others have already taken them. Nicknames Mantou, Nuomi, big names Jiang Aiguo, Jiang Yinuo."

"Wow, this big name is atmospheric, the daughter's name is also good, the nickname is catchy, it's quite good."

"I also think it's good."

"Sister Qinghong, what are the big and small names of your children?"

"My husband said the boy is called Liu Aiguo, nickname Haozi, the girl is called Liu Aiyuan, nickname Little Dragonfly.

Don't know what he was thinking, he said boys should have rough names, girls should have nice names."

Mentioning the big and small names of the children, the military wives all chattered about the divine operations of their own husbands.

Indeed, in this day and age, it is emphasized that cheap names suppress life numbers. Children's names are either cat, dog, tiger, or steamed bun, bun, etc.

Zhao Cuicui suddenly slapped her thigh and said:

"Oh, it's a duplicate name, my husband also said the boy is called Aiguo, Zhang Aiguo!"

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed. Now Aiguo, Heping, are completely flooded.

Not to mention one family, even the pregnant military wives in the entire military family quarters are facing duplicate names!

If the surnames are different, it's fine. If you encounter the same name and surname, it's embarrassing!

You can't say, you are that fat Zhang Aiguo, you are which thin Jiang Aiguo.

Shen Man laughed and laughed, and was a bit worried that the child would have the same name as others in the future. When the teacher shouted from above—

"Jiang Aiguo!"

"Here!"

It wasn't one child who was called, but a group of children!

Forget it, go home, have to discuss it with her husband again.

Can't take Junjie, Junhao, Tianqi, Tianjun...

Every generation has the popular elements of children's names in every generation.

And so, after Shen Man went home, she discussed with her husband for a long time, and the name of her son Jiang Aiguo was changed again and again—

Jiang Tian Qi.

This new name was set.

The two were preparing to announce this result when the old men came over for dinner on the weekend.

As for the child of the sister-in-law's family, Lu Ailian, no running away.

It was a cute little girl. Because the sister-in-law liked to eat durian during pregnancy, the brother set the name Ailian, nickname Lian Lian.

Originally, the brother wanted the nickname to be stinky if it was a boy. Now it was good, it was determined to be a girl, so it was Lian Lian.

Regardless of whether the child liked her new name, now it looked like she avoided the trouble of having the same name when going to school, which was quite good...
