Chapter 258 Arrival on the Island (2)

Everyone was amazed. They had never heard of such an advanced solar water heater in a big city like Beijing, but here it was. It was so high-tech and convenient.

Solar water heaters, which only appeared and were popularized six or seven years later, were already available here six or seven years earlier. This was because Su Jinru told Yuan Wenjie the idea, and Yuan Wenjie found someone to make them.

Su Jinru naturally attributed the credit to Yuan Wenjie.

"This was invented by A-Jie. He saw that it was too troublesome for us to get hot water when we took a shower, so he thought that since the sun is so strong here, the water in the pipes is hot after being exposed to the sun. He wondered if we could utilize the sun's energy, so he came up with this."

The Luo family knew how smart Yuan Wenjie was.

Therefore, they believed Su Jinru's explanation.

Wang Shuqiong exclaimed, "A-Jie is an all-rounder."

Su Jinru: "You will gradually realize that A-Jie's intelligence and talent can be seen everywhere on this island."

Sure enough, in the days that followed, as they walked around the island, every road and building they saw was the result of Yuan Wenjie's hard work.

In their imagination, a deserted island, far from the mainland, almost isolated from the outside world, with very inconvenient transportation and high transportation costs, would be considered a good thing if it could be built into a habitable island under such harsh conditions.

But in fact, the roads here are wider, cleaner and tidier than those in big cities, all of them are asphalt roads.

Every inch of land here has been utilized and its resources have been used efficiently.

Fertile fields, hillsides, orchards along roadsides and in open spaces, residential areas, salt fields and power plants by the sea...

All of this is not just planning and construction; it's practically a magnificent tapestry.

As Mr. and Mrs. Luo walked along the road, a sense of pride welled up in their hearts.

Old Luo: "Ah Jie, I understand now. That's why you insisted on coming here. Only in a place like this can your intelligence be fully utilized."

Yuan Wenjie said modestly, "Dad, the fact that this place was built up so quickly is not my achievement alone. It is the achievement of more than 10,000 people on this island, and also Aru. Without her, this place would not be what it is today."

Mr. Luo: "Yes, I've heard that Aru is quite talented in planting. Just look at the vegetables she grows and the flowers at the door. Most people can't grow them that well."

"Yes! Only here in the whole country can three seasons of rice be grown. Of course, the climate here is one of the most important factors, but without her seeds and planting techniques, it would not have been possible."

Having lived in big cities for too long, the Luo family felt relaxed and happy on this idyllic island. Everywhere they went was beautiful, and every place was carefully crafted yet natural, without any trace of deliberate embellishment.

After dinner on New Year's Eve, a party was held on the island. As An Xin had once been a teacher there, everyone strongly requested that she perform a program. An Xin generously sang and danced two songs, which received a warm response.

Luo Xingguo exclaimed in surprise, "An Xin, I didn't know you could sing and dance?"

"What's so strange about that? I used to teach here. One teacher was in charge of two classes. Not only did they have to teach Chinese and math, but they also had to teach drawing, art, and music. There's a shortage of teachers here, so unlike teachers in big cities who only teach one subject, the teachers here have to teach everything."

Jiang Yuting: "There's a school, a clinic, a supply and marketing cooperative, a canteen... It's small but complete, and the people here are all talented! Not only is one teacher an all-rounder, but the doctor is too, and there are also A-Jie and A-Ru, they are full of wisdom and intelligence!"

Su Jinru cooked dinner, which was also the New Year's Eve dinner. However, when the gala ended, everyone ate a meal in the cafeteria, which was like celebrating the New Year together and having a New Year's Eve dinner together. Everyone was in a lively atmosphere until the New Year's bell rang in 1972.

For the next three days, from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the third day, Yuan Wenjie took his family out to play, while Lan Jie and Su Jinru cooked at home.

An Xin and Luo Xingguo took Hei Zi and the twins out to play.

In previous years, Su Jinru and her family would either go to their hometown or Beijing to celebrate the Spring Festival, so they would give Lan Jie a holiday every year. However, this year the Luo family was coming, so Su Jinru could only ask Lan Jie not to go back for the time being, and to make up for her holiday after the Luo family left.

So these past few days, Sister Lan and Su Jinru have been taking care of the logistics, ensuring that there is plenty of fruit, seafood, and pastries, and that every meal is delicious. They also let Yuan Wenjie accompany the Luo family to see and explore the area.

To prevent Lan Jie from suspecting the origin of her fruits, seafood, and meats, Su Jinru specially bought a large refrigerator for her family.

However, Su Jinru still stores most of her food in her spatial storage space, where food is kept fresher and lasts longer than in a refrigerator.

So, there was always fruit and various meats at home all year round, and Sister Lan didn't doubt it. After all, in those days, few families had refrigerators. Sister Lan thought that food could be stored indefinitely in a refrigerator, so she didn't doubt it when she saw that the food Su Jinru took out from her space was very fresh.

The island has a warm, spring-like climate and beautiful scenery. The Luo family is very comfortable here. Luo Xingguo was right. The climate here has indeed prevented the old man's cough from recurring and Jiang Yuting's leg pain has also subsided.

Everyone was very satisfied with spending the Lunar New Year on the island.

Yuan Wenjie said, "If the experience is good, let's come here to celebrate the Chinese New Year every year from now on!"

Jiang Yuting: "It's really comfortable to spend the New Year here. It's a great place for relaxation and entertainment. It's just too much trouble for Aru. She's been working so hard these past few days cooking and making all sorts of pastries."

Yuan Wenjie: "There are only a few days like this a year. It's tiring, but seeing you all having fun makes her happy too."

Grandpa Luo said, "Ah Jie, when it comes to marriage, you should choose a virtuous wife. You've made the right choice in marrying this woman."

Jiang Yuting: "I have always believed that A-Jie's judgment of people is correct. So even if from a worldly point of view, she and you are not a good match, but from the perspective of your life together over the years, you are quite a good match. She is not only your virtuous wife, but also our family's lucky star!"

Soon, the holiday of Luo's two sons and daughters-in-law will be over, and they will have to go back to work.

After breakfast on the third day of the Lunar New Year, they went to take a ship. Yuan Wenjie personally drove them to the ship and then drove them to the airport after they disembarked.

Although there are still seven or eight days before school starts, An Xin wants to go back with them to avoid the danger of her going back alone a few days later.

Su Jinru gave Lan a few extra days off, so she went on the ship with them.

Su Jinru also prepared a lot of seafood for them to take back, as well as pastries for them to eat on the way.
