Chapter 302: Chapter 301: Someone Suddenly Rushes Toward Gu Jia Ning, Xingxing, and Yueyue

Over here, Zhang Jianjun felt that ever since the divorce, some of the military spouses looked at him with scrutiny and a bit of peculiarity.

But when Zhang Jianjun tried to inquire, those wives would disperse.

After experiencing this a few times, Zhang Jianjun wasn’t in the best of moods.

However, there was nothing he could do about it.

-

Gu Jia Ning works at the county hospital, working five days and resting two days a week.

Today is Saturday, so Gu Jia Ning doesn’t have to work.

At the request of Xingxing and Yueyue, Gu Jia Ning took them out for a stroll in the villages and towns outside the military district.

As for Sheng Zexi, he had training to do, so he didn’t have time to accompany them.

However, Xingxing and Yueyue expressed that having their mother with them was already delightful enough.

As for their father, they would wait for another opportunity for a family outing later.

Since arriving on Huan Sha Island, this was a rare outing for Gu Jia Ning with her children.

After all, over the past two months, she had been to Beijing.

After coming back, she did have a few days of rest, but they stayed in the military district.

Afterward, she started working at the county hospital.

Now, she finally had the opportunity to explore.

Gu Jia Ning realized that everything on Huan Sha Island was quite different from the Northwest Region.

First was the weather.

No matter how cold it got here, it never snowed.

Of course, there were typhoons here every year.

Then there were the eating habits.

In the Northwest Region, people mainly consumed noodles, while here it was primarily rice.

Not only that, but possibly because it’s near the sea, seafood is abundant.

Sea products that were pricey and rare in the Northwest Region were common and inexpensive here.

Gu Jia Ning seldom ate seafood before.

Nowadays, after trying it, she found it quite delicious.

Very fresh and tasty.

Xingxing and Yueyue really loved eating fish and shrimp.

After eating their fill, Gu Jia Ning inquired around and decided to buy some seafood to send to her family in Huaihua Village and to Grandpa and Grandma Sang in Beijing.

After all, it was already January after the New Year.

The Spring Festival was approaching fast.

Consider it as a New Year’s gift for them.

Gu Jia Ning heard that there were dried seafood products here, which were very suitable for mailing.

Gu Jia Ning thought that after the Spring Festival, her sister-in-law and third brother should be going to report to school, which would mark the start of their new life, something she looked forward to.

Gu Jia Ning took Xingxing and Yueyue to a village called Qianye Village.

She had heard that this village collectively sold dried seafood.

The environment was getting better and better these days.

As for business, the regulations were not as strict anymore, especially since the start of this year.

Some agricultural products could now be privately traded.

But there were still some restrictions on other commodities.

And the sale of dried seafood in Qianye Village was an enterprise managed by the whole village.

When Gu Jia Ning appeared in Qianye Village with Xingxing and Yueyue, the villagers noticed them.

After all, they were unfamiliar faces.

An elderly lady came up to inquire with Gu Jia Ning.

Upon learning that she was a military spouse from the island’s military district, planning to buy some dried goods, the lady cheerfully led them in.

"Oh my, young lady, you’re so pretty."

"And your two children are so adorable and bright-looking."

The old lady complimented them as she led them into Qianye Village.

Entering Qianye Village with Xingxing and Yueyue, Gu Jia Ning understood why the village was called Qianye Village.

Because there was a special kind of tree growing around here, a tree that Gu Jia Ning did not recognize.

But even in this cold weather, the trees remained lush.

And the village got its name from these trees.

These trees were a distinguishing feature of the village.

It was said that if they were transplanted and grown elsewhere, these trees wouldn’t survive.

Only in this village, with its unique environment, could these trees thrive.

Xingxing and Yueyue found the surrounding trees fascinating and picked up fallen leaves to play with.

"Young lady, we’re here. Take a look at what you want to buy?"

Gu Jia Ning looked around and found that there was a wide variety of dried seafood products.

There were even sea cucumbers, abalones, shark fins, and more.

Not only that, but compared to the future, the prices were very low.

Of course, it was also cheaper than buying in other places.

Gu Jia Ning thought: Maybe it’s because rarity increases value.

These products were more abundant in coastal areas, so naturally, the prices didn’t go up.

Moreover, in these times, people were generally just keen on eating enough, rather than emphasizing nutritional value or gourmet ingredients.

Gu Jia Ning noticed the quality was quite good.

So, she didn’t hesitate much and immediately started shopping.

Sea cucumbers, abalones, shark fins; naturally, she had to buy these and in large quantities.

Scallops were nice too; adding some to porridge or soup would make it even more delicious.

Dried squid was good, could be added to porridge or soaked and stir-fried with other ingredients.

There were various dried fish that Gu Jia Ning also found appealing; cooking them with vegetables could enhance the dish’s flavor.

Shrimp? Not bad, not bad, a must-buy. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Gu Jia Ning bought 10 pounds directly.

More spicy marinated fish pieces?

The aroma made her mouth water.

Gu Jia Ning bought some.

She originally wanted to see if there were any delightfully fried small fish.

But didn’t find any.

After asking around, she learned.

Nowadays, such things were rare.

First, because if fishermen caught small fish, they would release them back to the sea.

Second, these small fish were only fragrant when deep-fried.

In these times, whether lard, peanut oil, or rapeseed oil, all were expensive.

Families were reluctant to use even a bit for frying vegetables, let alone frying small fish.

Gu Jia Ning: ...It seems necessary to consider the differences between times.

Shopping took almost an hour, and noticing the time passed; Gu Jia Ning decided to leave.

Just then, someone suddenly rushed in from ahead, coming straight toward Gu Jia Ning and Xingxing, Yueyue.

Xingxing and Yueyue, seeing this, instinctively stepped forward, their expressions serious, holding hands, and placed themselves in front of their mother, Gu Jia Ning.

They hadn’t forgotten what their father said, that no matter where or when, they must protect their mother.

Their father said that their mother was a delicate woman who needed their protection.

Especially now, she was pregnant and needed even more protection.

Xingxing and Yueyue always remembered this, so they unhesitatingly shielded Gu Jia Ning with their small figures.

In their hearts, they felt that it didn’t matter if they were injured, but their mother, especially pregnant, should never be harmed.

Yet, how could Gu Jia Ning just stand by and watch her two children shield her?

Feeling touched, she was simultaneously thinking of a solution.

However, before she could come up with one.

The accompanying elderly lady stepped forward and directly embraced the person!
