Chapter 118

Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng are both too busy, even though they live together every day on the island, they are still like a young couple who spend a lot of time together

The knot in Lu Yuanzheng’s throat rolled, and he raised his hand to clasp the back of her head and press it towards his own, and he also tilted his head slightly, his lips meeting hers first

A light kiss turned into a deep kiss, and Lu Yuanzheng’s hand unruly explored into Xu Wen’s blouse, and was about to rub fire

“Daddy Ma Ma, what are you doing?” Dongsheng’s curious voice came in from the doorway

Xu Man and Lu Yuan abruptly separated

When the mouths parted, Xu Man was still sitting on Lu Yuan Zheng, she wanted to get up, but Lu Yuan Zheng pressed her waist and didn’t let her move

He raised the flag, once Xu Man got up, there was no cover, it would be even harder to explain if Dongsheng saw her

The two people breathing a little thick, a time has not thought of how to fool Dongsheng, only to hear Dongsheng asked a follow-up: “Dad Ma Ma, you are giving me a little brother and sister?”

Xu asked: “”

In the end, Lu Yuanzheng is a big man, slightly thicker than Xu Man

At the very least, Xu Man saw that there was no difference between him and his usual self, except for the redness of his ears

“No, your mom has a toothache, so I’ll show her if she has insect teeth”

Dongsheng’s half-convinced, half-doubting eyes darted back and forth between Xu Man and Lu Yuanzheng, and he said with uncertainty, “But I clearly saw you two kissing”

But he clearly saw his father, Ma Ma, mouth to mouth

When he and Doudou were playing house, he was admonished by Doudou’s mom for being mouth to mouth

She said it was a kiss, and that it was wrong for a boy and a girl to kiss!

She also said they can only kiss the person they like when they grow up

He says he likes Doudou

Doudou also said she liked him

Doudou’s mom held her tongue for a while before saying, “You have to grow up before you can kiss, or you’ll have a baby

Xu Wen was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground, while Lu Yuanzheng preemptively attacked: “What nonsense? Who told you that kissing will give birth to little brothers and sisters? No, I didn’t I’ll tell you if I did Don’t ask so many questions! Come and pick the vegetables! Don’t be such a wild boy You’re never at home! Why don’t you stay at Doudou’s? Don’t come home so late!”

Xu Wen: “”

Should Lu Yuanzheng’s behavior be called a thief’s heart or a backhanded attack?

Dongsheng:””

He answered and walked to the coffee table and started to choose the dishes that Lu Yuanzheng hadn’t finished choosing

Xu Wen took advantage of Lu Yuanzheng’s inattention and stood up from him, “I’ll go see if there’s any firewood left in the kitchen”

Then she quickly ran out of the house with Lu Yuanzheng’s grumbling eyes, as if she was being chased by a ghost

Xu Wen exhaled deeply after she left the door, and was so annoyed that she couldn’t swear; the child had seen them kissing, and this time, she had lost a lot of face!

She sat on the swing in the yard, not daring to go back to the living room

After a while, Lu Yuanzheng came out with the finished vegetables, saw Xu Man still looking annoyed, laughed a little and comforted her: “It’s okay, children are forgetful, his attention has been diverted by me I casually drew him a picture and told him that when he studies it and understands it, he’ll be able to make a ship He’s bored with his ‘research’ at the moment I’ve also instructed him not to go out and talk nonsense about what he just saw”

Xu asked, “”

When Lu Yuanzheng went to the kitchen to cook, Xu Man pushed the door back into the living room

Dongsheng was half-kneeling in front of the coffee table, studying the paperwork that Lu Yuanzheng had casually torn from his notebook

Xu Man arrived to take a look, and saw that Lu Yuanzheng had drawn it particularly perfunctorily, saying that it was a boat, but without a closer look, it was a house that some people would believe

Dongsheng looked up and saw Xu Man coming over, spread the paper on the desktop and asked her, “Ma Ma, is it really possible to build a boat like this?”

Xu Man wanted to say, “How could it be possible?

On second thought, she remembered that in a variety show she once watched, there was such a boat

A wooden house was floating on water supported by an air cushion

Then he nodded, “Of course! When the school finishes building it, let’s do it together, okay?”

“Yes!” Dongsheng was especially happy, “When it’s done, I’ll bring Doudou to live on the sea”

Xu asked, “”

She looked at Dongsheng grudgingly, “I’ll accompany you to make a good boat and you take Doudou to play on the sea? What about me?”

What about saying that he loved her the most?

Xu Wen felt like he about somewhat understood the feeling of a hard-earned pig arching over someone else’s cabbage and having to pay a pig in

It was indeed quite overwhelming

Dongsheng scratched his head and hemmed and hawed as he laughed twice, “Ma Ma, you come along too”

Xu Wen waved her hand, not even bothering to say anything

She was only in her early twenties, and didn’t want to become an “evil mother-in-law” who competed with her “daughter-in-law” for her son

Besides, other people’s husbands really can’t be counted on, she might as well count on her own husband to be realistic

After dinner, Xu Man took Dongsheng to school with him

In the classroom, half of the sisters-in-law had already arrived, and the atmosphere was completely different from the first time

The first time everyone got together, most people didn’t know each other, purely to give Xu Man face or to cope with things

Last time, it was just like the first day of the class meeting for new students, they didn’t know each other and were all formal and unfamiliar

It was a large-scale social awkwardness

This time is not the same, we are also considered to share the same pain for a period of time, each other are familiar with, some have become good girlfriends, without the host can spontaneously chat in the heat of the day

As soon as Xu Wen entered, Song Baoying waved at her, “Ask sister-in-law, here”

This time was different from last time, when all the people were gathered in a double-layered circle, with food placed in the center of the circle

Now that everyone had gotten well acquainted, they spontaneously divided into several groups, with about ten people or so forming a circle

The food and drinks were divided into several portions, one for each group

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and a slumber party also has a C-suite

Song Bo Young’s group was undoubtedly the center group

It wasn’t arranged by anyone, it was just spontaneous, and they didn’t even realize that there was anything wrong with it

It was just that Xu Man, as a half bystander, could see the subtlety of it

Xu Wen didn’t say anything, leading Dongsheng over

There was Doudou at this table, and Dongsheng was definitely going to come over

Now that everyone is familiar, the topic of conversation does not need to be guided by Xu Man with a theme like last time, everyone can say whatever they want to say

The first topic of conversation was school

A sister-in-law who knows how to paint said that since the elementary school can’t be as modest as the family area, it’s possible to paint some colorful pictures on the outside walls of the classrooms or on the floor of the playground

This proposal was first supported by the children

They have already discussed what they want to paint before anything is finalized

My sisters-in-law didn’t have a problem with it either, and they were even more happy to see the kids so happy

The children had really contributed to the construction of the school, and some of them, like the adults, hadn’t taken a day off

As we chatted, we moved on to personal topics

The unmarried sisters-in-law talked about their respective partners

For the married sisters-in-law, the topic is inseparable from their mothers-in-law, men and children

Jiang Yi Yi suddenly spoke, “It’s so nice to know you all! It’s the most meaningful thing I’ve done on the island!”

Xu Wen heard that the tone was a bit off

Besides, wasn’t the most important thing about her coming to the island Li Mao?

Xu Man only thought in his heart, but a fast-talking sister-in-law had already asked

Jiang Yi Yi spoke with a choked voice, “Actually, Li Mao and I have already broken up I just don’t want to be a deserter, so I thought I’d finish building the house before I left Now that the school building is finished, I’m ready to leave!”

Xu asked, “”

As Jiang Yi Yi’s and Li Mao’s neighbor, Xu Man often heard them fight and got used to them fighting

The two of them often broke up and often made up

But those were all private matters, Jiang Yi Yi would never take it to a public forum to talk about it

Now that she had opened her mouth, it was nine times out of ten that they had really split up

Xu Man thought carefully, it seemed that he hadn’t heard the two of them arguing for a few days, at the very least for a week, which really wasn’t quite like the two of them

“Why?” Song Boying spoke in confusion, “Weren’t you guys fine two days ago?”

Jiang Yi Yi was considered one of the more avant-garde girls of this era, daring to love and hate!

She was always very high-profile in her normal life, showing her love for Li Mao, and she was not stingy in showing Li Mao’s love for her

Some conservative sisters-in-law might not be used to her putting love on her lips like this and daring to say anything, but younger sisters-in-law envied her for this kind of courage and sweetness

Jiang Yi Yi spread her hands and smiled bitterly, “It might not be appropriate!”

“How could it be inappropriate? You guys have been talking for so long!”

“Actually it wasn’t that long In the beginning, it was me who chased after him unilaterally There’s something I’ve always been embarrassed to tell you guys, the two of us are still together or I counted on him

We two are junior high school classmates The year before last,, it seems to be, anyway, he went home on vacation, just in time for our junior high school reunion

Li Mao is not good at drinking and got drunk! I know where his home is but still took him to the guest house, in order to take care of him I also stayed

When he woke up, he thought something had happened to us, and kept blaming himself and promising to be responsible and marry me

In fact, we didn’t happen anything, because of selfishness because of ignorance when that feeling, ghostly I didn’t tell the truth, will be wrong

Later, he will be entrusted to the matchmaker to my home to say goodbye, we are in a place, and is a classmate, the family is basically the right family, or I am high marriage, so my parents do not have any opinion, only insisted on waiting for me to graduate from secondary school to get married

I went to school late, then also to eighteen years old That’s not it, as soon as I graduated I gave up my job to come after me on the island”

All the sisters-in-law did not say anything and listened quietly When they heard Jiang Yi Yi talking and sobbing uncontrollably, they also just wordlessly handed her a clean pad

The sister-in-law sitting near her patted Jiang Yi Yi’s shoulder as a sign of comfort

She didn’t finish her sentence, everyone still didn’t know the reason for the breakup, and couldn’t open their mouths to comfort her, but could only wait quietly for her to finish the cause and effect

It took a while for Jiang Yi Yi’s crying to fade

“It’s me who thought love was too simple I thought that if I gave up everything and ran to him, our relationship would blossom sooner or later In fact, Li Mao also treated me very well, at the very least he tried his hardest to be as good to me as he could I also try to understand him But people are always greedy ”

Xu Wen heard and understood

To put it bluntly, Jiang Yi Yi’s love is too idealized, she is a sticky girl who can’t wait to stick with Li Mao 24 hours a day, and the two of them can only have each other’s existence in their eyes, always putting each other in the first place

However, Li Mao’s profession determines that he can’t have enough time for Jiang Yi Yi

Jiang Yi Yi left her hometown, gave up her future, and followed Li Mao with all her heart She is young, so it is inevitable that she will complain if she doesn’t get the same reward for her efforts

Li Mao, out of responsibility, patiently coaxed her again and again

Their emotional foundation is weak, after all, Li Mao before Jiang Yi Yi no love, is Jiang Yi Yi unilateral like Li Mao

In the quarrel and good time and again, Li Mao to Jiang Yi Yi produced that little bit of feelings also gradually consumed

He still treats her well, and still coaxes her when she is angry

But women are always sensitive, especially Jiang Yi Yi, she almost lost herself, all around Li Mao, of course, can notice this subtle changes in Li Mao

So they quarreled again

This time, Jiang Yi Yi asked Li Mao, if that she did not have sex with him, Li Mao will still be with her

Li Mao was silent

Jiang Yi Yi said she wanted to hear the truth

Li Mao shook his head

Jiang Yi Yi cried and asked, “Why?”

“Because we’re not right”

“Which is not suitable?” Jiang Yi Yi pursued

Since Li Mao decided to tell the truth, he didn’t hide it anymore, “It’s really inappropriate Yiyi, you’ve been on the island for so long, have you found out what all these sisters-in-law have in common?”

Jiang Yi Yi looked at Li Mao blankly

The age of the sister-in-laws ranged from twenty to over forty They were also different in height, shortness, fatness and thinness There were rural sisters-in-law as well as city sisters-in-law There were highly educated sisters-in-law like Xu Wen and there was no shortage of illiterate sisters-in-law like Wang Lingling who initially couldn’t even write their own names There are sisters-in-law who got married early and their second child is in junior high school, and there are also sisters-in-law like her who are not yet registered

So what do they have in common?

“Sister-in-law is as synonymous with greatness as soldier A soldier’s profession is to protect the family and the country, but sisters-in-law are our last resort That’s why women who can really be military wives are especially independent! Yiyi, you can look at those sisters-in-law who are married and have children They don’t complain every day, and they are used to being both father and mother

They are the ones who can really get out of the hall and into the kitchen, and can carry rice and children on their shoulders When a child is sick and has a fever, they can walk more than ten kilometers to the hospital with the child on their back Many sisters-in-law do not have a man with them when they give birth In your place, which of these can you accept?”

It was Jiang Yi Yi’s turn to be silent, which one she couldn’t accept

“Many of my comrades in arms, missed two people’s weddings and the birth of two people’s children, and continue to miss their children’s growth

Many military wives are not born so strong, nor do they really need a man to give them a hand when they change gas They can’t help it, and most sisters-in-law shed tears behind their backs and laugh in front of them

What about you? You’re still like a child who hasn’t grown up You need a man who has his eyes on you all the time, just like you Every day two people have to meet and talk about love to spoil you like a child Do your laundry and cook for you Whenever you are not in the right mood, you have to find out the reason and coax you at the first time

But, Yiyi, I’ve been here for more than a year Tell me, which man on this island can do this?”

Jiang Yi Yi opened her mouth and subconsciously wanted to say Lu Yuanzheng

But Lu Yuanzheng was busier than Li Mao most of the time

Just in terms of companionship, Li Mao spent more time with her than Lu Yuanzheng did with Xu Wen

What was Xu Man doing every time he cried?

Maybe he was teaching Dongsheng how to study, or maybe he was cooking up something good to eat, drink and play

Anyway, he would always find something for himself to do

At the very least, Jiang Yi Yi hadn’t heard Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen fight in the past year or so

Jiang Yi Yi mumbled blankly, “Then is it my fault for liking you and wanting to be with you every day?”

“It’s not your fault! It’s me, it’s me who really can’t give you what you want right now You’re a good girl, warm and generous and simple, worthy of being cherished by men, including me But, Yiyi, I get tired too I busy day home, hope to see a warm you, hope the bed to leave me a light, hope I work overtime back, the table has a still warm meal

But what I get is that you often shut me out I how to knock on the door you do not open, how to coax you are still aggrieved I can only go back to my class to sleep every time you shut me out

When my comrades asked me why I didn’t go home, I was so embarrassed that I had to make up a different excuse every time

After a long time, we all know why slowly do not ask also took the initiative to give me a bunk, but I am more embarrassed

I do not expect you can change, I just hope that the next time you are angry when you can not explicitly say why instead of always let me guess? Can you try not to shut me out? Say things face to face?”

Jiang Yi Yi sobbed uncontrollably

Li Mao didn’t rush, quietly waiting for her to finish crying There was no way he could wait for her to grow up, mentally

He could only force her to grow up, or else the two of them couldn’t live a lifetime

After Jiang Yi Yi had cried enough, she only said, “Li Mao let’s break up! We haven’t gotten a license yet anyway”
