Chapter 67

Lu Yuanzheng nodded, “Theoretically yes As long as I don’t get transferred or discharged from the army, this house should be able to stay as long as it’s not broken or rotten”

“Then let’s clean it up a little and move there, okay?”

“I’ll listen to you!”

Xu Man was in charge of making design plans, saying what he wanted to do here and what he wanted to do there

Lu Yuanzheng was responsible for turning Xu Man’s ideas into reality

During the construction period, Lu Yuanzheng didn’t allow Xu Man to go to the cabin, saying that he would let her see it when it was finished, and that there might be a surprise

Xu Man was willing to cooperate, but she was still a little tickled, so she secretly asked Dongsheng to go and see the house and come back to tell her about it

However, Dongsheng was too young and had a limited vocabulary, so he couldn’t describe much, only saying that he was very beautiful and wanted to move to the new house as soon as possible

Xu Wen was even more anxious

But he wasn’t anxious, because he didn’t have time to be

He had two things to do lately

First, Lu Yuanzheng wants to have another wedding with her on the island Otherwise, he would always have regrets in his heart

Of course, this time the wedding should not be as grand as in the old country, just a simple wedding

Both the money and the conditions are not as generous as at home, and the banquet can not be organized

First of all, the supplies on the island are still too limited, and secondly, this is a combat unit, there is no explicit ban on alcohol, but alcohol is still not allowed during non-rest time, and drinking is limited, so getting drunk is definitely not an option

So the buzz was limited

“Then why do it now? We can wait a little longer It’s not too late to build the island to prosperity”

Xu Wen is simply puzzled, the wedding is simple or not simple is not very concerned

The two of them were walking on the beach at the time, Lu Yuanzheng saw no one around, before he spoke back to her: “Because I want to get married!”

Xu asked: “”

She abruptly reddened, and reprimanded: “Rascal” After a pause, very quietly added, “I didn’t say I won’t let you touch it”

It was he himself who insisted on moving to the new house Then she can’t ask for it, right? How humiliating

“I know I just want to marry you into the new room Brightly and squarely ” The voice of Lu Yuanzheng’s words grew smaller and smaller, the end drowning in the sea breeze

Xu Wen vaguely heard one or two of the words and shyly raised her hand to hit him

The wedding was finalized

In fact, she had some regrets, about the wedding in her hometown, she could only remember Dongsheng kowtowing like a grasshopper caught in a field

The road expedition is not convenient to leave the island, Xu Man followed the supply ship back to the shore to buy some sugar cubes and other wedding supplies and then came back

She didn’t have much money left in her hand, so she didn’t buy anything

Originally, they can’t spend much money here, and can save a lot, but Xu Man likes to toss the research, buy materials and spend a lot

After this Xu Man thought, this money is still useful no matter where it is, so in the future, besides spending money, she also had to find a way to earn more money

The only thing that could comfort her was that she was no longer seasick The round trip with Dongsheng took three or four days

One day ashore, one day of shopping, came back without the supply ship, but followed the fishermen’s boat to Zhongxing Island first, and stayed at the temporary guest house in the island compound for one night before being sent back

Song Xueqin was especially happy to see her, and invited her to another meal, and also told her a lot of things about the road expedition

Inevitably, the matter of power generation came up again in the conversation The second thing that Xu Man had to work on came up

After hearing what Song Xueqin had done for Lu Yuanzheng, she had no choice but to just be open-minded and was willing to do something to help Song Xueqin out

Xu Wen promised to seriously think of a solution

If the team of scientists came over, they would also provide what they knew to the scientists, hoping that it would be useful to them

This was a polite way of saying that Xu Man’s opinions were definitely useful

The results of decades of scientific research, could it be useless?

Unfortunately, she wasn’t a professional polytechnic, she knew the results, but not the details

So back on Rainbow Island, Xu Man buried herself in researching power generation with Magic Mirror

Research is Xu Man, magic mirror is the consultant, forced kind

Power generation is not difficult to focus on how to under the existing conditions, as much as possible to increase the conversion of wind or solar energy, and how to collect and store these electricity unified supply island

Xu Wen notes densely memorized a few books, almost three days with a bottle of ink

Busy in the free time also have to prepare some wedding supplies

Then everything from simple, always have to put a happy word or something, right?

Xu asked to think of this wedding can make their own decision, then according to their own ideas to do

The guests do not have to worry about the hospitality, there is a cooking class!

But she had to prepare her own wedding clothes

Xu Man wanted to wear a wedding dress

This can not be bought now, neither on the island nor in Haicheng

If she can’t buy one, she’ll have to make her own

When Lu Yuanzheng found out, he borrowed a sewing machine from the shore

It was borrowed from the factory manager who produces military uniforms, and is also his old comrade-in-arms

When he heard that he was getting married, he simply gave him a sewing machine

Xu Man didn’t know how to use a sewing machine, but Mrs Li and the others could teach her

It was quite simple, and Xu Man learned in a while

Sewing machine can be solved, making method magic mirror can also give

The hard part was the fabric for the wedding dress

Xu Man bought some white silk cloth, and bought a mosquito net

The yarn material on the wedding dress is all dismantled mosquito net

Xu Wen also made a white suit for Lu Yuanzheng, with a false collar and red tie inside

Dongsheng’s is a white short-sleeved shirt with black back pants

When it was done, he brought it to Lu Yuanzheng and Dongsheng for them to try it on

Lu Yuanzheng looked in the mirror, obviously very satisfied, but the clothes are too close to the body, he was a little uncomfortable tugging on the collar and asked Xu asked: “This seems to be not quite the same as the usual suit?”

The reason for the background of the times, about people poor habit, even a piece of clothing need hereditary

Dad wore the son wore, the big wore after the small wore

Height and weight are not the same, people buy clothes or make clothes also habitually will buy fat and big, to prevent small other people can not wear

Even if the suit is the same, do always wide and big

Xu Wen prefers the suit with a wider body So it was made by measuring Lu Yuanzheng’s figure, and it fit especially well

What was also different from the usual suits was that his suit was made according to the 07 style navy suit

After listening to Xu’s introduction, Lu Yuanzheng wondered, “Aren’t all military uniforms the same? There’s still a difference between land, sea and air?”

Xu Man nodded, “Right This classic green color you’re wearing is called Type 65, and it’s the symbol of an era But it will be changed in a few years Army green, navy white, and air force blue This suit is called a dress uniform, and there are regular uniforms, camouflage uniforms, and training uniforms There are also summer and winter styles Even if they’re all uniforms they can be worn differently”

Lu Yuanzheng was considered navy, so she used white fabric

He looked in the mirror again, this time not at himself, but looking at the future from the mirror

For a long time Lu Yuanzheng sighed, “It’s great that the motherland is strong!”

Xu Wen walked up to him and straightened his collar, “No matter what era it is, your profession is especially great Many young girls love your profession They call it ‘military dress with a white veil’ and there’s also a particularly touching phrase that says ‘you guard the country and I’ll guard you'”

Lu Yuanzheng repeated again, “You guard the country and I guard you?”

Xu Wen hmmmed

Lu Yuanzheng’s eyes deepened and he lowered his head to kiss Xu Man

“Papa Ma Ma, I’m dressed!” Dongsheng jumped out from behind the cloth curtain

Xu Man was busy sidestepping Lu Yuanzheng, who also stood up straight and looked back at Dongsheng, his gaze not very friendly

It was the first time Dongsheng wore such complicated clothes, and he couldn’t figure it out himself, the buttons were tied crookedly, the bowtie was half hanging around his neck, and the collar was half folded

Xu Wen rearranged it for him again and asked Lu Yuanzheng, “How is it?”

Lu Yuanzheng nodded, “Very handsome”

Dongsheng was happy

He had seen the last time Lu Yuanzheng married Xu Man and knew approximately what was going on

Although he didn’t understand why they had to get married again, it was a happy event, a good thing with food and fun

Xu Wen marked the parts of their masters’ clothes that needed to be fixed

Lu Yuanzheng asked her, “Do you want to go to the new house to take a look?”

Xu Wen stopped her hand movements and turned her head to look at him, “I thought you weren’t letting me go?”

“It’s already decorated now, just waiting for the wedding to move in You can go see it”

Xu Man was of course willing, and the family of three changed into their home clothes and held hands as they walked towards the wooden house

Arriving in front of the wooden house, Xu Man was stunned at first glance

In front of the cabin, Lu Yuanzheng had surrounded a small courtyard with thin branches

He wrapped some green branches around it and dotted it with flowers

“What’s the point of bothering with this? You’ll have to go through the trouble of cleaning it up when it withers later” Xu asked, a bit tongue-in-cheek

“It’s no trouble Wedding! It’s worth the trouble The wedding is tomorrow and it won’t wither”

Tomorrow is Tanabata

The date of the wedding was chosen by Lu Yuanzheng in consultation with Xu Man

Chinese Valentine’s Day

A swing was set up in a corner of the courtyard

Dongsheng excitedly let go of Xu Man’s hand and ran to the swing

The swing set was also wrapped in green vines, and placed there it was a sight to behold

“In the empty space, you can plant some flowers and plants later” Xu Wen proposed

“Well, what you say” Lu Yuanzheng had been watching Xu Man, and seeing her happy, the corners of his lips followed suit

Picking up the steps, pushing open the wooden door was the living room

The not-so-large living room was particularly cozy, and the cracks in the wooden walls were dotted with ornaments

There were flowers and scattered seashells

On the ceiling there were some flower pulls symbolizing festivity

The furniture was labeled with big or small happy words

The coffee table was made of wood, and this was not within the standard range of family rooms Xu asked with the road expedition once on the island wandering saw a withered old tree roots, Xu asked to say a mouth, dug out to deal with can be directly when the coffee table table with

I did not expect that later Lu Yuanzheng really get back

Or the original irregular shape, just planed off the surface of the bark, polished smooth, brushed a layer of varnish

The sofa and chair are also homemade

It is covered with sofa cushions made by Xu Man

There was also a rocking chair made of bamboo in front of the window

There was also a window on the back wall of the living room, but it was very small and was mainly used for ventilation

Xu Man always felt that there was something missing after looking at it for half a day

This question Dongsheng will: “The kitchen was removed by dad”

Oh yes, the living room wasn’t this big before, and one corner was the kitchen to come

“You removed the kitchen?” Xu asked with a look of hatred, “Do not always eat cafeteria, do not plan to open a small stove ah?”

“Didn’t tear it down, moved it outside You just saw the small shed on the west wall”

This is a side household, the advantage is that next to it, you can also build another small shed is not in the way of other people’s business

“That’s good” Xu Wen breathed a sigh of relief

“Let’s go, go upstairs and take a look”

The stairs were also wooden, with only a layer of varnish

Once upstairs was a small living room of sorts, with a to-be-perfected restroom around the corner

Then there were two bedrooms side by side

One large and one small

The big one was for Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen, and the small one was for Dongsheng

The front of the rooms were connected through a balcony-like terrace

On the terrace was a small square table with two futons

In Dongsheng’s bedroom, there was a single wooden bed, as well as a writing desk and a closet

But for Dongsheng, having a room of his own was already more than enough for many children, and he was still so happy that he lay on the bed and rolled around

Lu Yuanzheng led Xu Man to see the master bedroom

It was pretty much the same in the master bedroom

The bed was a double, and there were two sets of closets

There was also a dresser next to the writing desk

Xu Man touched the dresser and was surprised, “You actually made a dresser?”

“I don’t know if it’s what you imagined”

To be honest, not quite Because it was simple to the point of being almost rudimentary

But Xu Wen still nodded her head unswervingly, “What you made with your own hands is the best”

Lu Yuanzheng raised his hand and circled Xu Man’s waist, promising, “For this wedding, I won’t leave you halfway again”

The wedding was held at night just so they didn’t want to delay everyone’s work, and all but the ones standing guard came to attend their wedding

Nearly a thousand people sat around on the beach by the sea, waiting to watch the wedding and eat the wedding banquet

Saying wedding banquet, the dinner was actually still provided by the cooking class, just slightly different from the usual dinner

Today it was a seaside buffet

Each company put out a hard dish as a congratulatory gift

The main course was grilled fish

The method of baking the fish was taught by Xu Man, but the fish was made by each cooking class, two for each class

All the other dishes were made in advance and pushed in by the people from each company’s cooking class, and each company’s dishes were different Everyone took their own, and ate whichever cooking class made them if they wanted to

This was also what Xu Man had taught

The cooking class was especially excited

This was the first time that the people in the cooking class didn’t have to hustle during the meal and were able to sit down and eat by themselves

Although the wedding was destined to be simple, it was ceremonial, with quite a few kissing sessions

Xu Wen changed into her wedding dress and waited in the tent

It wasn’t long before the sound of banging was heard

There weren’t many musical instruments on the island, but as they say, the masters are in the people

Some of the warriors were so good that pots and pans could make good music

They put together a team of pots and pans on their own and followed behind Lu Yuanzheng to welcome the bride

There was no real point in blocking the tent door, and Xu Man’s maternal family was barely more than a dongsheng, so this part was skipped

Lu Yuanzheng lifted the curtain and came in

Xu Man sat on the bed waiting for him, her fluffy gauze skirt spread over the bed

“Wow! Sister-in-law is so beautiful!”

The lads who came with Lu Yuanzheng to receive the bride filled the tent to the brim

Those who couldn’t get in at the back stood on their tiptoes at the doorway, and were awed by the sight of Xu Wen

There were also those who couldn’t even squeeze through the doorway and went around the outside to look in through the small windows

“Usually I see people wearing red when they get married, but I didn’t realize that a white dress could be so beautiful!”

Lu Yuanzheng walked up to Xu Wen and knelt down on one knee

Behind him, iron buckets and iron pots were knocked and accompanied by neat and loud shouts of approval

Lu Yuanzheng spread out his palm, and there was a ring lying flat in his palm

The ring was made by him from a bullet shell, and he carved out a tiny rose along the tail pattern

“Xu Man, I don’t dare to promise you a long life in heaven, but as long as I live, I won’t let you regret it This ring is not as valuable as a gold or silver ring, but it represents my faith and commitment! Marry me?!”
