    The North Whale 60 fleet arrived near Guam. Commander Yang of the Western Pacific Fleet moved everyone on the beach and burst into long-lasting applause.  The corners of Chen Yao's eyes were moist. She wrote "You are the cutest person!" on a sketch she had just drawn of him. She ran up and gave it to him. After a while, she and the platoon leader walked into the coconut tree.  Lin went to talk.  Hanako whispered to Chen Jiayong: "Husband, our Yao'er may have fallen in love with you." Chen Jiayong sipped his wine, looked at the happy young people, and said with emotion: "How beautiful life is, how wonderful it is to be young! This island, coconut  Forests, beaches, bonfires, lighthouses, and ship whistles are so charming. Each scene is like a fairyland on earth! We have worked hard all our lives to create a good living environment for future generations. Yao'er has just developed a love interest, which is normal  , as long as she likes it, we should be happy too."

    After a while, Hanako asked Guizi to call the little platoon leader, and said to him with a smile: "Young man, you sang really well just now. What is your last name? How old are you?" Hanako was wearing a silver-red Chinese dress. The young man didn't know.  I don't know what her identity is or how to call her.  Hanako said: "Just call me Aunt Liu." The young man saluted and reported: "Reporting to Chief Aunt Liu, my name is Deng Zhongxia, I am 21 years old. I graduated from Dalian Naval Academy and have served in the army for more than half a year. I am currently the 2nd Regiment of the 89th Coastal Division.  Second lieutenant and platoon leader of the 2nd platoon of the 1st company of the 3rd battalion." Huazi asked: "Where are you from?" Xiao Deng Weihua replied: "Xiamen, Fujian."

    Chen Jiayong came over and said: "Young man, 'The young pilot used the spark of life to ignite the light that will never go out'. The lyrics are very well written, and the music is also well composed. How did you write it?" Deng Zhongxia  Said: "Reporting to the chief, our company manages two lighthouses and 18 buoy-type navigation lights on the sea. We have to row a small boat to maintain the navigation lights every day. Thunderstorms are very frequent here. On a stormy night last month, I brought  Class 1 drove a boat to repair the No. 13 beacon light that was knocked out by lightning. It would not be repaired for a while, so we used a small boat to replace the beacon. Xiao Zhang, the squad leader, had just turned on the backup beacon light on the bow when he was struck by lightning.  He fell into the water, and the turbulent ocean current swept him away, never to come back Everyone cried and cried. I was so uncomfortable when I came back that I couldn't sleep all night. I wrote this lyrics while crying, dedicated to my sacrificed comrades and friends.  All friends sailing on the sea!" Chen Jiayong praised: "Good! It is moved by emotion and speaks from the heart. Your efforts and sacrifices are a magnificent poem, both songable and lamentable! Small sailing pacesetter, I  I think you look familiar. Who else are there in your family?" Deng Zhongxia said: "Chief, my dad won't let me tell you." Chen Jiayong said: "Why?" Deng Zhongxia said: "He said he wanted me to be a soldier.  I work on the island, earn military merits by myself, and don¡¯t let anyone know about my family background." Chen Jiayong thought for a while and asked: "Are you not the son of a cadre? Is your father Deng Zhengzhong?" Deng Zhongxia was surprised: "Chief, how do you know?  ?" Chen Jiayong said: "I look at you a bit like Lao Deng, ha, I guessed it right. Your father is my old comrade-in-arms."

    Deng Zhongsha took a closer look at Chen Jiayong, who was wearing Chinese casual clothes, and said in surprise: "Youare Chairman Chen?" Chen Jiayong smiled and said: "Well, you must have guessed. Uncle Chen is old, and it is not easy for ordinary people to recognize me.  Don't tell others, just know. Who are you?" Deng Zhongxia said: "There are the eldest sister and the second sister above, and there are two younger sisters below." Chen Jiayong said: "Your father put this single seedling of yours  You have gone through ups and downs on this small island, and you have good intentions, so you have to live up to your expectations. Remember when your father and I were working hard at sea" Chen Yao shook his arm from the side.  He immediately turned around and introduced: "This is my second daughter Chen Yao. Yao'er, you and Zhongxia can make friends. You need to get in touch with and understand your peers who are fighting and living at the grassroots level. Life is very real.  How can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain! You have to experience and learn from them." Chen Yao happily said to Deng Zhongsha: "Second Lieutenant Deng, can I call you Brother Weihua?" Deng Weihua nodded hurriedly.  He happily picked up the accordion, held Chen Yao's hand, and walked to the bonfire to play and sing:

    "My mother told me when I was a child,

    The sea is my hometown,

    Born by the sea and raised by the sea.

    The sea, the sea,

    This is where I live.

    The sea breeze blows the waves,

    Follow me around the world.

    The sea, the sea,

    Just like my mother,

    Traveling to the ends of the earth,

    Always by my side.

    The sea, my hometown,

    The sea, my hometown,

    My hometownmy hometown

    Chen Yao danced happily in front of the bonfire to Deng Zhongsha's singing. She was wearing a pink dress with fluttering skirt, like a dancing butterfly.  Everyone was deeply affected and intoxicated by this scene.  Huazi whispered to Chen Jiayong: "Husband, they fell in love at first sight. They are such a perfect couple." Chen Jiayong said: "Sister, youI'm afraid it's like 'the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the more satisfied she becomes'.  But I feel pretty good. My children are getting older and starting to pursue their own lives and love.  You know that Lao Deng is a loyal man.  The son he gave birth to was really good and quite talented.  The tutor seems to be good, but no one knows that he is the son of a 4-star general commander, not even his direct commander Dao Chengzhi, so we don't need to tell him.  Yao'er is still young, only a freshman in college, and she is still a blank slate; the little pacesetter also has to work hard.  Love is something that depends on affection and fate. Happiness will not fall from the sky. It has to be achieved by their own efforts. The principle we hold as parents is not to worry or talk too much.  "Hanako Weiwei agreed.

    Guizi looked at everyone's singing and laughing with envy.  Hanako said to her: "Little sister Guizi, you are still in your prime. In my house, there are no more restrictions than in the Japanese palace before that. Go sing and dance!" Guizi hid behind Chen Jiayong and did not dare to go.  During this period, Jinfeng became pregnant, and Guizi took up Dao Jinfeng's logistics position.  Guizi was born to serve people in the palace. She was beautiful, gentle, diligent and capable. Chen Jiayong liked her very much, but she was timid.  Chen Jiayong laughed loudly and said: "Guizi, let's go and be younger!" He took Guizi's hand and walked towards the bonfire, letting Ye Yuchan play the piano, and he danced and sang:

    ¡°It¡¯s hard to grow delicious cherries,

    Without hard work, the flowers will not bloom;

    Happiness will not fall from the sky,

    A better life can¡¯t wait.

    Don¡¯t say our hometown is bitter,

    The pearl of night light is buried in the earth;

    As long as we irrigate frequently,

    Flowers of happiness are blooming everywhere.  "

    Chen Qi said in surprise: "Dad sings so well!" Huazi said to her children intoxicatedly: "Your father can sing now, I love listening to it most!" Chen Qi said: "But we don't listen much." Huako said  : "Your dad is always busy, and he doesn't often sing. It's rare for him to have fun tonight, so you have to stay with your dad." At this time, Jiazi came over and greeted: "Every fish and dish is here."  It¡¯s done, everyone, hurry up and eat!¡±

    In the prefabricated house set up on the beach, Lao Songshan, Chef Wang and others were busy happily, making a lot of Chinese and Japanese dishes. Everyone got what they needed, and they could even grill fish and cook by themselves. It was very interesting.  Warm and lively.  Ichiro Asakusa immediately sent five large grilled fish to the master Wan Jiakui.  Yin Zhen thanked him repeatedly and said: "Your master is not tired after eating, but we who serve the dishes are tired. With you, Agu and I are much more relaxed." Chen Jiayong said to Andal, the commander of the island guarding company who was accompanying the drink:  "There are tens of thousands of islands and reefs like this in China. Our luminous orbs are buried on these islands, on the sea, and at the bottom of the sea. Guarding is your duty, and you are all good sons and daughters of China." Andal was praised by the chief.  He was so enthusiastic about the praise that he poured a large bowl of wine and toasted him: "I am from Inner Mongolia. I was used to the prairie, but now I regard the sea as the grassland. Please rest assured, chief, we will definitely guard the islands and maintain the waterways!"  "

    Wan Jiakui had been lying on the boat for several days. Now he was full of wine and food. On a whim, he practiced his full set of 128 mantis stick techniques on the beach.  There was really a thunderous storm where the stick started, the sky and the earth were eclipsed by the fluorescent light, and even the waves on the shore were rolled up.  Everyone cheered, and Ye Shoucheng exclaimed: "I have heard that Lieutenant General Wan is brave, and today I saw his martial arts style, he is really a god!" Chen Jiayong said with a smile: "My godson-in-law has made great achievements on the islands, and he used this stick  The stick has suppressed no less than a million martial arts practitioners on the archipelago. This is the sacred treasure of Dinghai. I wouldn't replace it with a group army." Ye Shoucheng said: "Brother, you have the heart to embrace the world and the sea.  Accepted!" Chen Jiayong said: "Who am I? Without your hard work, I would have accomplished nothing." The two talked about the past and were filled with emotion.

    In the early morning, people on the beach are leaving.  Chen Yao called Deng Zhongxia. The two looked at each other and couldn't bear to say goodbye.  Chen Jiayong went over and said: "Zhongxia, you sang in your song 'the road ahead is rough and long'. You still have a lot of things to do. Young people must burn out the brilliant sparks of life. You want to be on the island  Keep working hard, train yourself, and don't let down your father and our expectations for you." He took out the little golden pistol on his body and said, "Boy, thank you for your 'Song of the Navigator' for letting me find it again.  I feel a few years younger, so I¡¯ll leave this as a thought for you.¡± Hanako knew that her husband recognized him, and she felt very happy and said to Deng Zhongxia: ¡°You must come to my parents¡¯ home during your vacation!¡±
