Chapter 110

A little goodbye is better than a new marriage

Xu Man closed her eyes, and took the initiative to raise her neck to meet Lu Yuan Zheng

Just as her lips came together, Xu Man let out an ouch and pushed Lu Yuan Zheng away with a smile, “How many days have you not shaved?”

The stubble made her itch

Lu Yuan Zheng let out a f*cking sound and touched his chin and laughed, “It seems like I haven’t shaved since you left”

It wasn’t that he was lazy

They are quite strict about grooming

The main thing is that he has been so busy in the past two days that he hasn’t even touched the bed, so how can he pay attention to shaving or not shaving

There were only two words for defense change, but hundreds of people were moved

The old man left and the new man came, how to arrange the division company, shift and post, all have to be determined by them

Xu Man is not happy, “You just said you miss me! How can you think of me when you’re so busy? Liar!”

Lu Yuanzheng: “”

A woman’s face is much more fickle than a June day

He hugged Xu Man and rubbed his chin into her shoulder socket, tickling her and making her giggle

“Being busy doesn’t stop thinking about you” Lu Yuanzheng said

Thinking about it, he wondered, he had been too busy to eat or sleep in the past two days, but he would think of Xu Man from time to time

Even when he was in a meeting, sometimes he would just glance out the window and wonder if Xu Wen had eaten yet

Similar thoughts could come up at any time, without interfering with his work or distracting him

After all, it’s just a passing thought, that is, the thought flashes a little dense, Xu Wen left these four or five days, at least flashed a few hundred times

Xu Wen lifted his chin with his hand: ”Although I also miss you! But that’s no reason for you not to shave! You’re not allowed to touch without shaving”

Lu Yuanzheng had no choice but to get up and shave in the dark, giving himself a small shave

When he went back to the bedroom, he found that Xu Wen was already asleep!

She’s not eating or sleeping well outside, and she misses him

Before she met him, she was fine with the string, but when she saw him, the string loosened and she fell asleep

Lu Yuanzheng: “”

In the past, when I was in college, every time a freshman started school or graduation season, I had to move

Hundreds of people were moving in and out

The hallway was full of chaos and filled with all sorts of panicked sounds

“Make way!”

“Where’s my washbasin!”

“Who’s seen my mirror?”

Rainbow Island change of defense not only hundreds of fighters left the island at the same time also hundreds of fighters came to the island

Nearly a thousand people were staggered, but half of them were not in a state of disarray

Their bedding and personal belongings were simply tied into backpacks and carried behind their backs

After the first batch of people came to the island, the first batch of people from Rainbow Island got on the boat and left the island

Then the first third batch

After the new men on the island assembled, they were first divided into companies and shifts, all of which were broken up and reorganized

The remaining veterans as well

Divided into companies and shifts, all the men brought back to their shifts and organized their luggage

By the evening, it was already business as usual

Apart from the people he knew, Xu Man could no longer tell which ones were new to the island those were the veterans who were originally on the island

Xu Man smacked his lips, “Your execution is horrible”

This island, a day down, thousands of people come and go, but did not see half a bit of panic

Go clean and come sharp

At the end of the day, Lu Yuanzheng went home for dinner at almost nine o’clock in the evening

“Finally, I understand how big the gap is between ordinary people and you guys!” Xu Wen sighed lightly

The seemingly useless training throughout the day was always a surprise at critical moments

If she hadn’t been watching it all happen with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have known what this island had gone through all day

Lu Yuanzheng half-closed his eyes and leaned against the window to recline on the chair, “Where is this? Only a few hundred people have been replaced and you still want some kind of movement? It’s even harder than this during a war Not only do you have to change but you can’t let the enemy find out, completing the handover under a searchlight, that’s much more difficult than this”

Xu Man sat on the beanbag with his knees wrapped around him, listening to the sound of his voice getting smaller and fuzzier as he spoke, and looked at him sideways

Lu Yuanzheng’s eyes were already closed, and under the dim light, it was unclear whether there were dark circles under his eyes or shadows covered by his eyelashes However, it was obvious that he was exhausted

Since returning from vacation, Lu Yuanzheng had not rested, first the veterans were discharged from the army, and then the change of defense was tossed

He had already fallen asleep in the time it took to say a few words after dinner

Xu Wen was a bit distressed, but it was useless to be distressed

She looked at the time, hesitated, and took a blanket to cover him from his knees to his waist and stomach

Lu Yuanzheng could only sleep for half an hour, and it was his turn on duty tonight

On weekdays, when he was sleepy like this, he could still find Shi Lei to take over a shift, but now Shi Lei was no better than Lu Yuanzheng

Xu Wen looked at the watch and woke up Lu Yuanzheng when it was time

Lu Yuanzheng rarely had a few moments to get up, wrapped his arms around her waist, rubbed his head on her belly, and grunted, “I don’t want to remember”

This was not something Xu Man could say, and could only pat him on the back twice, “Tomorrow will be fine!”

After changing the defense, it should be the same as last year, right?

Who knew that Road Far Cry shook his head, “Tomorrow won’t work either We still have to train for a while after changing defenses”

In order to get used to it, the training must be strengthened, so it can’t be as loose as it was last year

Xu asked, “Then you can’t rest for a short period of time?”

“It’s not that I can’t, it’s just that I’ll probably be a bit busier than last year Last year was mainly busy with construction, doing physical work This year, there are more people on the island, and our tasks have changed Defense is the main focus, construction is secondary”

Physical work also do not need to train, we are all young and strong labor force, boredom dry on it

This year is different, after the infrastructure is perfected, you have to pull the overall defense of the archipelago External defense against the enemy internal protection of the people

In the past, only military personnel on the island, equivalent to half of the military, fewer people to protect a good retreat

Now there are those who manage the wind power, and those who repair the harbor

All are ordinary people, the responsibility to protect them is heavier than they personally work

Can not can not do, is a priority condition

However, these cannot be told to Xu Man

Xu Man guessed part of it and didn’t inquire much, only frowning and asking, “Then is it true that you can’t help build the school either?”

After a few words, Lu Yuanzheng sobered up a few points, slapped his face, got up to straighten his clothes, and sniffed, “Is the school matter urgent? It’s almost halfway through the last semester now Can you guarantee that you’ll be able to use the new school before school starts in the fall?”

“Of course not! How is it halfway through the semester? School hasn’t even started for two months We don’t have spring and fall breaks here! We’re still planning to start school before summer vacation!” Seeing that Lu Yuanzheng was frequently looking at his watch, he waved his hand, “Forget it! You go first! Let’s talk about it later”

But Lu Yuanzheng didn’t know where to go back to on this end

As a pillow, Xu Wen felt that the two of them had jet lag in a home

When she woke up, Lu Yuanzheng was already gone, and when she slept, he hadn’t returned

Don’t expect Lu Yuanzheng to come home to cook, but if he does, eight out of ten times he won’t be able to come back to eat

Song Baoying is in a hurry, she is in a hurry useless, Shi Lei also said that it can not be done for the time being

Song Baoying had to come to Xu ask for ideas

When she found Xu Wen, Xu Wen was in the kiosk to buy things, sighed: “This is not a good way for me to do We can teach but we can’t build a school!”

The Magic Mirror, no matter how good it is, is only a web search engine, it can’t be an architect

Sister-in-law Li comforted them, “Don’t be anxious, it’s not as bad as this semester, isn’t it? Sister-in-law Song, you are a teacher, it should be no problem for you to make up for your daughter When they have the time, they will definitely cover it”

Song Boying shook her head, “I’m not worried about Wenwen Wenwen’s foundation is good, and she also has me to keep an eye on her studies, so she can’t fall behind on her homework Although it’s not even April yet, and it sounds like there’s still half a year before school starts in the fall, there’s so much we have to prepare for

The campus is still a wasteland We have to clear the grass and level the land, right? Trees have to be cut down to make wood, right? It takes time to build a school building, right? And chairs and benches Besides, none of us have ever been teachers before, so we have to train for a few days first

I hear that many of my sisters-in-law are leaving because their children are of school age If the school doesn’t work, they’ll have to leave

Besides, if there are other sisters-in-law with older children who want to go to the island, don’t they have to come here first to let their children get used to our teaching materials and teaching? We can’t just go into the classroom and start teaching as soon as the school year starts, can we?

If the school is built before the next semester starts, it’s really hard to guarantee that it will open smoothly As busy as they are right now, they won’t necessarily have the time in a few more months”

Sister-in-law Li sighed softly while organizing the shelves, “Who says it isn’t? Our family’s Geansheng has also reached school age I’ve been worrying about this every day, thinking that if it doesn’t work out, I’ll just get up early and work hard every day to send him to the center island I’m quite happy that you’re getting a school, it saves me a lot of trouble”

Sister-in-law Li has now settled down on the island, and although the profits from the kiosk don’t go to her, she is paid a very high salary, and there is also Old Lu’s pension She and Gen Sheng also ate at the cafeteria, spending little money, all saved for Gen Sheng to marry a daughter-in-law in the future

Originally, she wanted to buy a boat to send the children of Rainbow Island to school on the center island

Now that Xu Man and Song Baoying are tossing around the idea of getting a school, it will save her the trouble

Sister-in-law Li thought for a moment, “Why don’t we hire a few people from the center island to help? We can pay for the labor, and I’ll pay for it!”

Xu Man shook his head, “We’re a military center here Sister Li, you know that we won’t easily let outsiders on the island for fear of mixing in people who shouldn’t be here We’re in the midst of a defense change, so we need to be more careful during the break-in period Besides, it’s against the law to hire people! We don’t have that right Officials can, but not us”

“Right! I’m sorry! I’m just talking out of my ass! Don’t take it seriously” Sister Li was an old military wife and knew the rules better than Xu Qi and the others, so she was purely talking nonsense in a hurry

Song Boying was also in a hurry and complained, “You can never count on them for anything related to me!”

Xu Wen shook her head

If she were to say hello to Lu Yuanzheng, he would definitely cooperate in making a report to apply for the people of the center island to come to the island to help build a school

However, she didn’t want to trouble him

Right now, Lu Yuanzheng was too busy to take care of this side, and if he didn’t take care of any part of the process and mixed in a spy or something, it would be over

This island of theirs could be considered an isolated island, and like Lian Zhenxing said, the danger factor was too high

Song Boying let out a long sigh with a sad face, anyway, she didn’t have any good ideas

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to come to Xu Man for a discussion

What could Xu Man do? In the middle of the day, he only replied, “I’ll think of another way”

But what could she think of?

Her Magic Mirror was just a mouthpiece that moved its mouth but not its hands

Ask it how to build a house, and it might be able to produce a detailed tutorial

Ask it to build a house, and it would probably shut itself up and play dead

Xu Man finished checking out and left the kiosk with Song Baoying, promising, “Within three days, I’ll be able to figure it out”

That’s what he said, but Xu Man really didn’t have a clue in his heart

Worried Xu asked at noon did not eat much

But meals can not eat, sleep

She lay on the bamboo chair, thinking about falling asleep

In a daze, heard someone shouting at her

“Sister-in-law!”

“Ask sister-in-law, are you home?”

Xu Wen originally thought she was in a dream, but as she listened, she felt that something was wrong, someone was really shouting at her

Busy getting up and opening the door

Wang Lingling and the sisters-in-law who had been with her since the last time they sent the veterans were all at the entrance to her yard

No wonder she heard several people calling out to her

Xu Wen took a few quick steps and opened the courtyard door for them

The door was less than waist-high and could be opened with a push

Wang Lingling had never been here before, and was too formal, like Sister Li and the others, they went directly outside the living room to call out to people

“Sister-in-law, why are you here? Quickly! Let’s sit inside first, it’s too hot outside”

Wang Lingling was busy waving her hand, pointing to her shoes, “Our feet aren’t clean, don’t get them dirty for you”

Xu Man pulled her inside, “The ground is meant to be stepped on, what do you step on if not your feet? All living on the island, no one is much cleaner than anyone else”

Although Wang Lingling was strong, she didn’t dare to struggle too hard for fear of shaking Xu Man, so she had to follow him into the house

Xu Man poured a cup of milk tea for each of them, but the ice cubes were packed in separate bowls, “Sister-in-laws, if any of you like it cold, add some ice cubes yourselves! The flavor will be better!”

The sisters-in-law, led by Wang Lingling, were all very formal and put out

They quickly looked around the room and quickly lowered their heads, fidgeting a bit, and no one went to serve the enameled jar at all

Xu Wen saw a sister-in-law, after looking at the house, quietly raised her feet

Xu Man: “”

Sitting in a chair with her feet off the ground was actually a very tiring position

She cried and laughed a little as she spoke again, “Sister-in-laws, don’t be polite Come as if you were in your own home I don’t have a cleanliness fetish I mean I don’t have so many preoccupations, you guys really don’t have to be so polite My son Dongsheng, you have all seen, all day running outside crazy play every time to come back with a sand or mud, still into the house

So don’t be so formal, or you’ll feel uncomfortable and I won’t feel comfortable either”

That sister-in-law glanced at Xu Man, seeing Xu Man’s sincere gaze, only then did she quietly put her feet back on the ground again

Xu Wen simply got up and gave them a cup of the enamel cylinder placed on the coffee table into their hands

She could see that these sisters-in-law were just too honest and too formal, and it was unrealistic to expect them to serve milk tea on their own

“We’re not thirsty” Wang Lingling still didn’t nod her head good enough to take it

“Sister-in-law, if you don’t drink it, the other sisters-in-law will be even more embarrassed to drink it Just a cup of water, you can’t come to me on a hot day and not even be able to drink a cup of water, right?”

Only then did Wang Lingling take it, tasted it and boasted, “What kind of drink is this? It’s really good! It has a milky flavor and a tea flavor”

“This is called milk tea I made it myself with milk and black tea Added some sugar”

“Ah! How expensive that must be!” Wang Lingling marveled, but she had already drank it herself and was too embarrassed to put it back, so she could only hold it and drink it in small sips, like some rare treasure

The other sisters-in-law are similar, only that floating feet sister-in-law did not move

Xu Wenzhi realized but didn’t say anything more and didn’t persuade again

According to her experience, the more she persuaded them in this situation, the more uncomfortable they were

I can also understand Wang Lingling

Xu Wen was considered a so-called golden girl in her last life, but this life is a real rural child

In Wei Zhuang Commune, sister-in-laws like Wang Lingling are everywhere

It is too difficult to make money, so you can only save

Especially women like Zhu Meizhen, the family has so little money to calculate the family’s food and drink

Often in the matter of saving will treat themselves harshly, but to the men and children are relatively generous

If you let Zhu Meizhen drink milk tea, she will probably scold Xu Man for being a loser, and it would be better to exchange it for money on Sixth Street

The people who have just solved the problem of food and clothing, how can they think of living such an “extravagant” life

Xu Wen once again asked Wang Lingling and the others, “Sister-in-laws, is there something you want to see me about?”

Wang Lingling slapped her head, “Look at me! I haven’t talked to you about the main thing just by drinking this milk tea Sister-in-law, we heard that you and Sister-in-law Song are building a school, right?”

Xu Wen nodded, “Yes, there is such an idea But there are some troubles at the moment The warriors on the island are all very busy and can’t find the time to help us build a school building for the time being Therefore, I’m afraid that we won’t be able to build it for a while”

She swept her gaze over Wang Lingling and a few other sisters-in-law in wonder, “What? Do you all have students of school age at home? If so, I’ll have to ask you to be patient for a bit longer

The school will definitely be built, and we are also trying to coordinate this matter If you guys are in a hurry you can bring your children to the island first”

Wang Lingling exchanged glances with a few other sisters-in-law, and it was she who spoke up, waving her hand and blushing a little, “We didn’t come here to rush you into building a school We came here today because we wanted to come and discuss with you, do you think it’s okay for us to help build the school building?”
