With Wang Meifang dead, Qiao Qingqing felt even more at ease. While Shi Lanlan and Ning Rong were busy scheming together, Qiao Qingqing, Yao Xiaoman, and the others followed Lu Heng to the island opposite them.
Today was the Lantern Festival, and they had come to participate in the military's celebratory activities. Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang had already registered their performance, so they were met by personnel assigned to receive them as soon as they arrived. As for Qiao Qingqing, she accompanied Lu Heng on a tour of the family quarters, as there was nowhere else she could really go.
The people in the family quarters greeted Qiao Qingqing with great warmth. Most of them were from the north and had followed their husbands to the island, struggling to adapt to life there. Qiao Qingqing chatted with them about the local customs and shared interesting stories about coastal foraging, helping them realize that gathering seafood wasn't actually as difficult as they had imagined.
