After half a year of negotiations, the attitudes of Countries A and K finally loosened.
Although the blockade line was not removed, they agreed that Huaxia ships could go to the island.
Note, only go to the island.
They were not allowed to leave.
It was entry only, no exit.
Even so, it was better than being cut off from the outside world for a long time.
Upon hearing the news, Han Yunru immediately requested to go to the island to visit her daughter and two grandchildren, but in the end, she was persuaded against it by Jiang Da and Jiang Fuyue working together.
Jiang Fuyue: “Mom, this time the ships coming are cargo ships transporting supplies. It’s not safe for people to go along.”
Who knew whether Countries A and K would go back on their word?
If anything went wrong midway, losing goods wouldn’t matter much, but if something happened to people, that would be serious.
Out of safety considerations, Jiang Fuyue directly refused.
She advised Han Yunru: “Now ships are allowed to pass. Although it’s only entry to the island, I believe it won’t be long before departure is also allowed. Mom, stay well in the capital, we’ll be back soon.”
Jiang Da: “Right! If you insist on going and something happens on the way, wouldn’t that just cause trouble for Yueyue?”
Under the strong persuasion of father and daughter, Han Yunru finally gave up the idea of going to the island.
……
On April 10, twelve cargo ships arrived at the Duofu dock, delivering supplies to the stranded medical team and the island villagers.
Through Jiang Fuyue’s efforts, not only were official documents like the “Three-Year Plan for Developing Duofu Island Infrastructure” approved, but policy support and financial preference were also granted.
In short, Duofu, which was now willing to open its doors, had become one of Huaxia’s key development areas.
In just half a month, a large amount of supplies had been transported to the island, along with a group of experts and professionals. Over the next three years or even longer, they would be stationed on the island to help Duofu complete urbanization.
Among them was a familiar face.
“Little Six?”
“Hehe… Sister Yue.” He was wearing work clothes, leading a group of brothers, operating mixers and cement.
Mud splashed onto his pant legs, but he didn’t care at all, as if he was already used to it.
“Yufeng Construction participated in Duofu’s infrastructure bidding and successfully won the bid. As the company’s biggest project for the next three years, I applied to stay stationed here.”
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow: “Real estate development?”
Little Six grinned: “Not just that, we also obtained the development rights for a cross-sea bridge and a cross-sea high-speed rail.”
Back then, when Jiang Fuyue transferred him to Yufeng Construction, she had said: “In five years, I want you not only to know how to build houses, but also to build bridges, repair roads, and even lay tracks and run high-speed rail…”
Now, after four years, he had accomplished all of it!
Jiang Fuyue: “I didn’t misjudge you.”
Little Six: “And I didn’t follow the wrong person.”
If he hadn’t met Jiang Fuyue, he would still be messing around on the streets with Hu Ben, stealing and loafing, achieving nothing.
……
Now the island had both supplies and a large number of talented people, and infrastructure construction officially began.
Soon, the experts discovered…
“Huh? These villagers can actually read?”
“They even use currency for transactions. Didn’t the reports say they mostly bartered? Was the intelligence wrong?”
“Not just that! They also know basic hygiene knowledge! Like not drinking raw water, not eating moldy food, and even… ahem… hygiene between men and women…”
“Oh right, they also understand the law! Consumer rights, fair trade rights, they can talk about it fluently.”
“I saw they even set up a small oil refining workshop themselves, the separation and extraction look quite professional!”
“They’re great with smartphones! They can even shoot short videos, scroll through feeds, and ask viewers to like their posts.”
“……”
In short, the Duofu they saw was completely different from the poor and backward corner they had imagined.
At this moment, a villager stepped forward proudly and said, “Of course! We’ve attended science lectures and literacy classes, who are you looking down on?”
“Exactly! Agata said that by keeping up with civilization, we can hold up half the sky too!”
The experts were collectively stunned: “Agata? Who?”
“Jiang Fuyue! She is our Agata!”
Afterward, the experts asked local villagers and learned that “Agata” in the Duofu language meant “Moon Goddess,” and was also regarded as a guardian deity.
“Professor Jiang has worked hard.”
“As expected, there’s nothing she can’t do.”
“Literary skills to write papers, practical skills to build infrastructure, amazing!”
“Professor Jiang has already paved the way for us. Next, we must walk it well and not waste her efforts!”
“Understood!”
Because they knew how difficult it was to win over these once-uncivilized villagers, they felt deep respect for Jiang Fuyue from the bottom of their hearts.
To show their seriousness, the lead urban planning expert personally brought blueprints and planning documents to visit Jiang Fuyue.
They asked her what suggestions or opinions she had regarding Duofu’s future development.
What should be done first, what should come next…
Jiang Fuyue held nothing back, sharing her observations and understanding of Duofu over the past year, and made a suggestion,
“Putting people first means first ensuring that villagers are free from disease. So personally, I think things like building roads and houses can be temporarily set aside, build the hospital first.”
And so, the expert team began planning the hospital first.
Next came schools…
In the blink of an eye, it was June, and the two little ones were already over half a year old.
They could crawl, sit, and even hold their own bottles and drink milk noisily.
Their little arms and legs had also grown stronger.
Especially Suisui, one night, when Xie Dingyuan took away her milk bottle, her little arm suddenly swung, and with a smack, hit her father right on the face.
At that moment, Xie Dingyuan was completely stunned. The little one didn’t even know what she had done. Her big grape-like eyes were full of complaint toward her dad, as if silently accusing: Stinky daddy, why did you take away my milk bottle?!
Maybe it was because his wide-eyed, incredulous expression looked too funny. Before long, the little girl burst into giggles, innocent and lively, making it impossible to feel any anger.
Of course, Xie Dingyuan wouldn’t complain about his precious daughter, but he immediately turned to Jiang Fuyue to act spoiled, “Yueyue, she hit me! Look, it’s red!”
Jiang Fuyue leaned closer, sure enough, it really was red, a small handprint.
“She has that much strength?” Even the mother was shocked.
Xie Dingyuan seized the opportunity to complain: “You have no idea how much she eats. Niannian drinks one bottle of milk, she drinks three. If she doesn’t get it, she cries… Also, she poops five or six times a day. I thought something was wrong with her digestion, so I took her to the doctor. Do you know what the doctor said?”
“What did they say?”
“The doctor said she just eats a lot, has great digestion, and her gastrointestinal function is not only fine, it’s extremely strong.”
Jiang Fuyue: “……”
“And now she’s learned to swing her arms and hit people.” And she hit her own father, how could this go on?!
Jiang Fuyue swallowed: Is it… really that terrifying?
Soon, she saw it for herself…
