70s Island Flower Survivor

Chapter 47: Complete Text

On the day when electricity was connected, Gu Ling's eyes were actually moistened. 

These seemingly simple two words were the result of their long and hard efforts. Thinking back to the first day they arrived on the island, they didn't even have a shelter, and everywhere was wilderness. After dark, it was pitch black, and occasionally there were night cries of small animals, which was quite frightening.

But later on, they caught fish, picked fruits, built houses, dug wells, planted vegetables and crops... Gradually, more and more people came to the island. 

This island became more lively. It was still the island that Gu Ling initially liked because it had the sea, an abundance of fruits and seafood, air carrying the salty smell of the sea, and the peace and purity far away from the bustling urban area.

There was her mother, her friend Li Haixia, Sun Pingfang, and others. 

Of course, there was also a man she liked very, very much—Lu Yanchen.

Regarding the electrification, Gu Ling thanked Lu Yanchen sincerely. She prepared a special table of dishes. Now that there were more and more supplies on the island, Gu Ling could make a variety of dishes. She asked Lu Yanchen to help her make a stone pot, and she cooked a fragrant stone pot fish, a braised chicken with preserved plums, sweet and sour spare ribs, stir-fried vegetables, mango rice, and sweet wine lychee soup.

A table full of delicious dishes made both Yang Shan and Lu Yanchen stare in amazement. The flavors were truly enticing! 

 Although Yang Shan and Lu Yanchen were not the kind of people who paid much attention to indulging their appetites, the dishes made by Gu Ling were so tempting that they couldn't help but want to eat and salivate!

During this time, the two children from the neighboring house of Chief Yu couldn't help but climb over the wall and ask, "Uncle Lu, Aunt Gu, it smells so good!"

Gu Ling smiled at the children and handed over a bowl of extra sweet and sour spare ribs, saying, "Take it back and enjoy."

The two children were extremely happy. At noon, when Peng Xiaoyue came back from the canteen under the scorching sun, she couldn't resist the tempting aroma of the ribs and asked, "Where did the ribs come from?"

Chief Yu also returned and calmly said, "Next door for the children to eat."

Peng Xiaoyue's face immediately dropped. She was growing more and more resentful towards Lu Yanchen and Gu Ling. 

However, Chief Yu frowned and warned her, "No matter what kind of person you were before or what intentions you had when marrying me, from now on, behave yourself! Learn from Gu Ling and do more things that are helpful to the community! Don't spend your days just being jealous and speculating about others!"

Peng Xiaoyue blushed and replied, "I'm not!"

But she didn't dare to argue too much. After all, she married the Chief.

Despite her anger, Peng Xiaoyue went back to her room and cried. Of course, no one bothered to console her.

In the next room, the Gu Ling family enjoyed a delicious meal. After finishing her meal, Yang Shan went out. She also had things to do. The island gradually saw the arrival of many military families, all bringing their children. Yang Shan began teaching classes for those kids.

Seeing his mother-in-law leave, Lu Yanchen became a bit mischievous. He looked at Gu Ling with a playful smile and said, "Wife, why did you make so many delicious dishes today?"

Gu Ling smiled and said, "To thank you for your hard work in the electrification project, Lieutenant Lu, you've done so much."

Lu Yanchen followed her, collected the bowls, and put them in the kitchen. From behind, he embraced her and said, "But you didn't make me my favorite."
