ACT252: First handshake

At ten o'clock in the morning, the harbor whistle sounded, and the dull tail drifted into the sky, and the sea breeze escaped into the island, through the leafy banyan forest, around the stilted houses, and took away the dreary air above the machine-gun bunkers, and finally into the foyer of a residential area.

It was the first residential building to be completed that year, and it was a former airport, with a wide view, flat terrain, close to the coast, and thanks to the climate of the South China Sea, the residents living here are very comfortable and enjoy the treatment of sea view rooms anytime and anywhere. The residential building originally had only four floors, and the floor plan of the house was simple, and we strive to achieve full housing in the shortest possible time. Later, the sand blowing reclamation project was restarted, the area of the island and reef was expanded again, and the once small buildings could not meet the growing new force, so the old buildings were renovated, and a small part of the infrastructure built earlier around them was razed, and the planning and design were re-planned.

In the west room on the third floor, the sunny windows are wide open, and the sunlight reflects the bonsai on the windowsill unscrupulously, and a ray of light slips into the living room, obliquely reflected in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, plated with a layer of light gold. The living room is not big, neat and warm, the tile floor is covered with a velvet blanket, a girl with a good face is fiddling with clothes up and down in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, the fresh and sweet dress outlines the youthful and compelling look, the white face is not powdered, and the soft long hair is sprinkled on the shoulders, no matter how you look at it, she is a delicate little girl, and the woman in the living room photo wall wearing a wedding dress and smiling is really not very similar.

The whistle leisurely escaped into the living room, anxious about the girl with the yellow mirror appliqué, looked left and right and was not very satisfied, simply took off her favorite skirt, picked up a small T-shirt and shorts from the sofa, wiped the sweat stains on her sideburns, and rushed to the door with a small sandal.

The kitchen door was closed, and the fragrance of delicacies escaped from the crack in the door, and the busy young man inside saw the girl in the hallway, opened the sliding door, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it will take a while to enter the port, do you want me to send you there?" ”

"What to send, hurry up and cook!" The girl smiled sweetly, waved her little fist at the young man, and did not forget to tell before going out: "Make more dishes, if you don't have enough wine, go down and buy them, they are all wine barrels!" ”

"Don't worry, you're all set." The young man looks very delicate, and he is also the kind of face that looks very young, clean and spiritual, dressed very casually, wearing an apron, holding a spatula in his hand, and sending the girl out of the door with a smile, and at the end he remembered something, and shouted at the corridor: "Wheat, remember to buy electricity!" ”

……

The residential area is far from the administrative buildings, separated by two wide and straight boulevards, and among the large deciduous trees hide the residents' favorite library in their leisure time, as well as the island leisure stilt house, which has gradually improved over the years, in addition to the infrastructure built in the early years, many new projects have been added, which are small and simple, but can also allow residents to spend their leisure time.

Today's residential area is relatively quiet, in fact, there are not many civilians still living here now, three years ago Xinpuyang landed on the shore, from the head of the establishment to the survivors in exile, the whole staff was less than 2,000, there are few additions to the island over the years, and the establishment has no desire to search for land survivors, so the population of the general station has not changed much. Later, the establishment decided to expand, with Fiery Cross Reef as the center, and spread to the surrounding Nansha Islands, the islands needed to be built, and the construction required manpower, and there was no new force, so the previous team could only be used.

The civilians and troops were armed into pieces, and the leaders of the establishment left Fiery Cross Reef in batches, dispersed to various islands and reefs according to the decision of the consultation, and started a new round of development and construction with the help of the strength and resources accumulated in the general station. In short, three years later, in addition to the general station of Fiery Cross Reef, the surrounding new stations have basically achieved due expansion and construction, among which Taiping Island is particularly eye-catching, not inferior to Fiery Cross Reef.

The news that the deceased was about to land on the island was delivered to the wheat very late, and the language was not clear, without much explanation, and the soldiers in charge of delivering the information also ran this trip for the sake of Zeng Yadong's face. The establishment faction is about to be separated, and the various factions are harmonious on the surface, but in fact there is a lot of estrangement, and Mai does not belong to the power class now, so naturally no one takes her seriously.

The little sister who landed on the island together back then, Zeng Yadong is now in an important position and is the right-hand man of Yao Jinsong on Taiping Island; Wheat is as plain as water, after many twists and turns, fortunately did not lose its due innocence, after the dust settled, began a normal life, and the young people who landed on the island together looked at the right eye, from lovers to husband and wife, it is also a kind of consummation.

Zeng Yadong left Fiery Cross Reef with Yao Jinsong's faction, at that time, Mai had already married a wife, and the young couple were ordinary people, they had no extravagance for power, they just wanted to live a normal life, so the little sisters parted ways, although they were worried about each other, but due to the situation, there was little intersection in the past two years. This time, I suddenly learned that Zeng Yadong was going to return to Fiery Cross Reef, and the old man who had been absent for a long time was also going to land on the island, and the excitement and joy were really indescribable.

The boulevard is sparsely populated, and it's close to noon, when the days are at their hottest, and most people prefer to stay at home or go to the stilt house club for a drink or two, and the hot asphalt roads of the boulevard are largely unattended. In addition, a few days ago, there was a notice from the administrative region that the various authorities were about to meet in the near future, and there were overseas authorities mixed in, and I heard that something big was happening. During the period of talks between the various parties, the island was under semi-martial law, no one in the living quarters was allowed to enter the administrative zone, and the armed forces began to carry out night guards to ensure the greatest possible calm for these days.

They don't feel much about this, and the people in power always have an inexhaustible heart, according to the shopkeeper of the wheat family, as if they are afraid that the commoners who live a leisurely life will covet the little things in power. ridicule is ridicule, and the red line naturally cannot be crossed. Wheat is just curious about how those old people got in touch with the people in power, according to the news from Zeng Yadong, the old friends also participated in the mysterious meeting when they landed on the island this time, and once they missed it from the port, it is unknown whether they can see it later.

While passing by the hospital, Wheat found that a sentry post had also been set up in front of the hospital, which inexplicably added a touch of tension to the peaceful island. Wheat smiled bitterly to himself, this kind of scene was not uncommon many years ago, near the heart, there are always countless people escorting, even if it is just a yawn, it seems to outsiders to be close to the sky falling apart.

The port was also expanded, the former harbor could not accommodate too many ships, Xinpuyang as Noah's Ark, stayed on the shore of Fiery Cross Reef, which symbolized the core, the warships escorted by the ships were assigned to various islands, the engineering ships were classified according to their functions, quietly parked in the dock, and the civilian fishing boats were lined up in the harbor, and the coastal cities were thriving.

When Wheat arrived at the port panting, the yacht happened to be docked, the water around the landing pier was impassable, a large number of soldiers in military uniforms were waiting for battle, flags were also waved on the signal tower on the other side of the sovereignty monument, and the harbor was silent, except for the surging waves, there were only bursts of panting.

Wheat was a little nervous, she hadn't seen this kind of scene for a long time, she was a flat-headed little person, and she was afraid that it would not work if she broke in rashly, and before she could figure out a countermeasure, the handover procedure on the other side of the dock was completed. I could vaguely hear the soldiers in the back row whispering, muttering something in a low voice, listening to the tone, not very friendly.

The soldiers on both sides of the arch guard dispersed, making way for the entrance to the island, and the yacht was in full view, and at the dock, several girls were hugging each other, and some mermaids came down the gangway, silent, looking at the strange atmosphere of the island.

Mai was excited, not far away, she saw a few people hugging each other on the dock, and the one with her back to her was Sister Dongdong who had left Taiping Island, and the other two ...... "Sister Sissi!" Sister Yaoyao! "Thousands of emotions are surging in the chest, and the joy of reunion after a long absence is spraying, who cares about the bronze wall and iron guard?

The three girls who were hugging each other on the dock turned their heads when they heard the sound, and this beautiful voice was so abrupt that it not only attracted the attention of the three girls, but also the soldiers and the people on the ship all saluted in this direction.

Lu Qian's eyes were still full of moisture, and she looked at the girl standing under the big-leaf banyan tree from afar, and tears finally burst out of her eyes.

"Wheat!" Lucy replied loudly, and ran to the girl with open arms.

Song Yao and Zeng Yadong looked at each other speechlessly, and the long-brewed emotion in each other's eyes was flowing arbitrarily.

……

"You have such a wide social circle." Yang Xiaomeng was dumbfounded, one moment his eyes were still lingering on Zeng Yadong's full chest, and in the next second, his gaze had broken through the distance and was far fixed on the two white legs in the distance.

Song Jiu was speechless, and agreed with Yang Xiaomeng's evaluation, from the land to the mountains, and then from the mountains to the sea, you can meet acquaintances wherever you go, and my sister's group is indeed quite okay.

Wu Wentao and Luo Yu stood behind Song Jiu, their attention was on Song Jiu, Song Yao's joy did not fade away the two of them worried about Song Jiu, at this moment they were surrounded by armed guns, those soldiers with cold faces were very different from the islanders there in Jimbo, they didn't feel friendly and warm, only indifferent and cold.

Cao Zheng and Chef Niangjia have nothing to do with themselves, silently acting as the background of the team, the situation is unclear, and for the first time, they have a direct contact with the so-called authorities, and it is false to say that they are not nervous; Acne Girl and Megumi are interested in all this, traveling thousands of miles, this should be the focus of the journey, no matter what happens later, at least it seems to be fine now, at least there are no walking corpses here, theoretically speaking, it shouldn't be a problem to sleep peacefully; Only Fang Fei's expression was a little strange, her eyes had been following Zeng Yadong's side, that kind of scrutiny and scrutiny was almost naked, it was quite strange for strangers to observe each other like this.

Song Jiu had their own thoughts, and the troops in power were as immobile as pines, and the two groups of people looked at the girls in the shade of the banyan tree, completely ignoring the other pair of men and women who picked up the boat with Zeng Yadong.

After a long time, the man with the big cap couldn't help it, coughed dryly twice, attracted everyone's attention to himself, took two steps forward, his eyes swept over Song Jiu and the others, and he muttered in his heart, his hand was half stretched out and hung in the air, how embarrassing it was.

Song Jiu and they didn't know what to do, they looked at each other, and they didn't know what this big cap meant.

The big cap was dripping with cold sweat, and he scolded in his heart, Zeng Yadong ran to reunite, but he didn't know who the other party was the leader, the young man standing in the middle was too young, and a man and a woman who looked more in line with the image of the leader were behind him, and his hand was half stretched, but he didn't know who to hand it to.

The few people from Xiaozhuang who returned to the team saw the embarrassment of the big cap, coughed lightly, and glanced at Song Jiu.

The big cap had a slight hesitation in his eyes, hesitated, but still stretched out his hand to Song Jiu, and said: "I am the diplomatic reception of the Fiery Cross Reef station, and I am always Rongrong." ”

Song Jiu raised his eyebrows and shook him with a strange smile: "Song Jiu." ”
