Parental Love: Jiang Weimin's Life of Lying Down

When Jiang Weimin heard that Ouyang Yi and others were planning to go back to the island to take a look, he had actually wanted to go back to take a look for a long time.

Since Ouyang Yi decided to come to Qingdao, Jiang Weimin consciously arranged his work in advance and specially set aside Sunday.

He also discussed with Ouyang Yi and Jiang Defu to return to the island together on Sunday.

Since leaving Songshan Island, Jiang Weimin has been busy.

There are few opportunities to go back to the island to take a look. Even Jiang Yafei and Jiang Weimin did not go back when they went to serve in the army on the island.

When Jiang Yaning learned about this, he wanted to go with them. As the news spread, the team grew larger.

Jiang Defu and his wife, Ding Jiqun and his wife, Wang Haiyang and his family, Jiang Yaning with his son, and Jiang Weimin's family of three, all came in a grand and expectant crowd.

On Saturday, the group boarded a ship to Songshan Island.

On the boat, the four children were like happy little birds, chirping and full of energy.

Ouyang Yi was so excited that he couldn't stop. He ran to the bow and looked into the distance against the sea breeze.

After a while, he ran to the stern, feeling the joy of the waves, his face filled with uncontrollable joy.

Jiang Weimin held a camera and walked among the crowd, capturing their smiles from time to time.

Jiang Yafei stood on the dock, her eyes fixed on the ships gradually emerging on the sea.

When a familiar figure appeared in her sight, a bright smile broke out on her face and she waved her hands excitedly.

After everyone got off the boat, Jiang Yafei came up to them quickly and greeted them one by one.

I am also very happy to see Jiang Weimin coming.

"Jiang Weimin, I didn't expect that you, the mayor, would also be here!"

Jiang Weimin joked: "Why, you're not welcome?"

"Welcome, you must be welcome! But why do you bring your drawing board with you?"

"I haven't been back for many years, and I haven't been able to calm down and paint for a long time. This time I came back, I wanted to find the feeling I had back then and relax."

Jiang Yafei's eyes lit up: "Then you have to draw another one for me when the time comes. You haven't drawn a portrait for me in many years!"

"Okay, no problem!" Jiang Weimin agreed readily.

At this time, Jiang Dehua also came over and asked with concern:

"Yafei, are you used to staying on the island by yourself?"

"Auntie, I grew up here, of course I'm used to it!"

"I mean, would you feel lonely on the island alone?"

"It's OK. Wang Haiyang brings the kids here every week to reunite with us. It's much more convenient to go back and forth now than before."

Afterwards, Jiang Yafei arranged a vehicle and took everyone to the yard where Jiang Defu's family once lived.

Jiang Dehua saw the familiar yard and said in surprise: "Yafei, you moved back to your old home!"

Jiang Yafei responded with a smile: "It's still more comfortable to live in my own home!"

Jiang Yaning on the side joked: "Sister, if you ask me, you should live next door. After all, you are married, and it is legitimate to live in your husband's house."

Jiang Yafei glared at her and said, "Go to hell, I'm so comfortable living in my own home!"

"Professor Wang, don't you have any objections?"

Jiang Yafei said proudly: "We have always been a harmonious couple!"

Jiang Defu looked at the vegetable garden he had carefully tended, which was now overgrown with weeds and had become a wasteland.

Just when he was about to say something, he saw Jiang Yafei's slender figure and swallowed the words back.

Jiang Dehua enthusiastically led everyone to the roof to overlook the scenery of the island.

The familiar streets, the scattered houses, the blue sea and blue sky in the distance, everything seemed so intimate, yet seemed to have changed a little.

After lunch, Jiang Defu and his party went to the beach to fish, enjoying the tranquility and leisure.

Jiang Weimin took Su Tang, Jiang Yaning and the children for a stroll on the island.

They strolled along the familiar path, and every corner was filled with memories.

Wei Min raised his camera from time to time to capture the children's laughter and the scenery of the island.

Jiang Yaning played with the children, and laughter echoed in the air.

Jiang Weimin also set up a drawing board, ready to use a brush to outline all of this familiarity.

At this time, a woman recognized Jiang Weimin, her eyes full of surprise, and hurried forward.

"Mayor Jiang, why did you come back? You came back so quietly!"

Jiang Weimin smiled and said, "I just came back to take a look. After all, I grew up here."

The woman said gratefully: "Mayor Jiang, the people on the island are looking forward to your return.

Over the years, you have helped so many people on the island to get out of this crisis, and everyone is very grateful to you.

My two sons are now working in publishing houses, and they are living a happy life now."

After Jiang Weimin graduated from university, Qingdao Publishing House entered a stage of rapid development and was in urgent need of talent.

Influenced by the garrison, most of the children on the island received education, so Jiang Weimin arranged suitable jobs for them, and everyone has developed very well over the years.

Jiang Yafei served as the political commissar on the island and was deeply loved by the military and civilians, partly because of Jiang Weimin.

Soon, the news of Jiang Weimin's return to the island spread throughout the island.

With gratitude and joy, the villagers brought their own seafood to Jiang Yafei's home.

Jiang Defu and An Jie looked at the piles of seafood with pride on their faces;

There was admiration in the eyes of Su Tang and her daughter;

Ding Jiqun was calm and composed, and he was already familiar with all this;

Jiang Dehua looked at the seafood and said in surprise: "Wei Min, you, the mayor, are more popular on the island than the political commissar Yafei!"

Jiang Weimin said modestly: "It's all thanks to Jiang Yafei."

Jiang Yafei laughed and retorted: "I am the one who benefited from you!"

In fact, Jiang Yafei noticed that the villagers were particularly enthusiastic after returning to the island. Even when her uncle was a regimental-level staff officer and her father was the commander, they did not receive such treatment.

Later I found out it was because of Jiang Weimin.

Jiang Yafei turned to Jiang Weimin and asked, "Jiang Weimin, are you going to the target practice tomorrow?"

"Go ahead, I've never touched a gun in my life, so this is a good opportunity to experience it."

Jiang Yafei smiled and said, "There are things that Mayor Jiang has never experienced! I'll let you have a good fight tomorrow!"

Jiang Weimin waved his hands: "No, just experience it for a while!"

The next day, Jiang Weimin and Ouyang Yi experienced the feeling of shooting for the first time at the shooting range.

The children were taken care of by Jiang Yaning and Su Tang and did not go to the shooting range.

After shooting, everyone decided to follow Ouyang Yi to visit Heishan Island. Jiang Weimin chose to stay on the island to paint, and Su Tang kindly stayed to be a model.

The sun shines on them, and at this moment, time seems to become especially gentle.
