Zhong Tiyun nodded and sighed softly: "Yes, it's not easy to handle so much food. But it's better than nothing."

She turned to look at Zhou Shuwan, a look of relief in her eyes: "At least, there is enough food for now, so you don't have to go out to sea with others to look for supplies."

When Zhou Shuwan heard this, he suddenly felt guilty.

She went out twice, and the trips took nearly half a year, which made her family very worried.

She had vowed a long time ago that she would never be separated from her family in this life, but now due to some unavoidable reasons, she had to go out and leave her family on the island.

At first, when she detected huge changes in the sea around the island, no one knew how panicked and worried she was.

"Mom, I'm sorry."

Zhong Tiyun reached out and gently patted her shoulder, her tone gentle: "Wanwan, Mom understands you. You are very important to everyone now. Although Mom is worried, she also supports you."

She paused, her eyes determined as she continued, "Mom has thought about this these days. If it ever comes to the point where you absolutely must go out with me, Mom and Dad won't stop you, but we all have to go. Even though it's dangerous, we can still be together as a family."

This was the biggest concession her family could make for her.

But it also shows her family's care and love for her!

In fact, their family was indeed together before, and they would go out together if they wanted to. But now Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun are really old, and the danger is greater. For their safety, Zhou Shuwan decided to leave them at home.

Now that she saw her parents were so supportive and tolerant of her, Zhou Shuwan was very touched. However, she couldn't say anything nice. She just buried her head in her mother's shoulder and rocked it like she did when she was a child.

Smelling the familiar scent of her mother, her heart finally settled down. The uneasy and uneasiness she had felt while walking and fleeing on the ice field completely disappeared.

Qi Mingyu stood aside, watching the scene quietly, his eyes full of tenderness.

Zhong Tiyun noticed his gaze and couldn't help but laughed and joked, "Wanwan, look at you. You're so old but still act like a child. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by Xiaoyu?"

Zhou Shuwan's cheeks flushed slightly when she heard this. She raised her eyes and glanced at Qi Mingyu, who was still looking at her tenderly.

She looked away a little embarrassedly, but still leaned on her mother's shoulder and refused to leave.

Because the processing of whale meat was extremely laborious, many jobs suddenly appeared on the island.

Xue Tao had been unemployed for the past six months, so he took Chunchun to sign up.

Working on the coast of the island is tiring, but it also makes me feel at peace.

Chunchun was paid half the wages, while he himself could actually receive the salary of an adult worker.

One day's salary is enough for him and Chunchun to eat for two days.

Zhou Shuwan stood in the distance, watching Xue Tao and Chun Chun busying around, feeling a little relieved.

She knew that these people were working hard to contribute to the survival of the island.

Although the future is full of uncertainty, as long as we unite, we can always find a way out.

Although he was tired, Xue Tao was always happy every time he came back, with a rosy face, and he enthusiastically told the Zhou family about the current status of the whale.

Talking about today's progress: "I cut up more than a dozen whales today. The meat is all processed and frozen in wooden boxes!"

Mingtian was beaming as he spoke of something else: "The mothership has brought in a cutting table. Using levers for cutting, the speed is much faster than before, and people don't have to work so hard anymore!"

As he spoke, he rubbed his slightly frozen hands, and the warm air in the underground base made him sigh comfortably.

He felt completely different from before.

Such busy and tiring work seemed to ignite his fighting spirit for life.
