Chapter 126

Lu Yuanzheng’s eyes deepened, looked around, and whispered in her ear through clenched teeth, “I’ll fix you up when we get back! Don’t think that just because you say a few nice words, you’ll be fine!”
After saying that, he let go of her waist, took her hand, picked up the luggage at her feet, and greeted Dongsheng, “Silly boy! It’s time to go home!”
Xu Wen thought she would have to walk back, but she didn’t realize that Lu Yuanzheng drove here
Not the kind that carries rocks, but the kind that he should have redone
Dongsheng also saw it, and ran two steps around the motorized car “Dad, did you make this for me?”
“You wish!” Lu Yuanzheng didn’t give any face, “I made it for my daughter-in-law”
This is an electric car that looks like a square-headed sedan, made of pure wood and painted with a layer of varnish
It wasn’t as big as a real car, just the size of a pedaled tricycle, with an open top
It used the same set of batteries that Xu Man had used before, and the car only had three gears: forward, reverse, and stop
Compared to the children’s cars Xu Man had seen in his past life, the biggest difference was that the car made by Lu Yuanzheng had four seats, and the space door was not big
The family of three got into the car and put their things on the last seat
Halfway down the road, Lu Yuanzheng suddenly spoke, “This is the tenth day Finally I don’t have to go home alone”
His tone was very calm, even with a little bit of lost and found joy, but Xu asked to hear inexplicably some heartache
Raising her hand to cover the back of his hand hanging on one side, “I’m sorry! Let you worry! “
“In addition to the comfort of the two of you, other is not worried The main ” Lu Yuanzheng paused, “is really miss you”
Xu Wen was about to speak, when she saw him driving his motorized convertible past her house, she let out a sigh and asked him, “Where are you going? Have we moved?”
“We didn’t move Shi Lei and the others came back from their hometown to invite them to dinner Besides me there are a couple of company commanders”
“Ah?” Xu Wen was confused, “Is it appropriate to add me all of a sudden?”
“Don’t worry, you’ll be fed”
There was a large table of people, most of whom Xu Man was familiar with
When they saw Xu Man, they first stared blankly, and then greeted her
“Sister-in-law, you’re back! If you don’t come back, we’ll have to stand in the camping area and weld ourselves to the beach”
“That’s right Why did you disappear without hearing anything from you? If it wasn’t for the fact that our island is safe enough, I would have thought that you and Dongsheng had been taken away by the bad guys”
“Alas! I originally thought I was here to eat As soon as I saw sister-in-law, I knew that just by looking at you and Camping, I wouldn’t be hungry tonight”
“It’s rare to have a chance to laugh at camping Ask sister-in-law, and you cruelly took that opportunity away”
Xu Wen was sort of saying go at the time, and really didn’t expect that because of Dongsheng’s cup of water, she almost turned mother and child into missing persons
She apologized with some embarrassment, “I’m sorry! I didn’t expect to make everyone so worried”
DouDou’s mom brought a plate of sausages to the table and smiled at her words, “It’s a small thing to make us worry! Camping was almost a rush You said that you left a letter to leave a letter is not properly left, make an ink stain, can not even unveil it, almost the camping to drive crazy”
“That’s right!” Song Baoying, carrying the last plate of food to the table, sniffed and said, “Don’t say camping I’m all worried sick! I even said to call the police! Got laughed at by Old Shi”
In a soldier’s territory, losing someone and calling the police?
Who is this insulting?
Lu Yuanzheng said nothing, borrowed a pair of tweezers from the army doctor, and came back to close the door
The next day, he woke up and went to the battalion headquarters as usual
In the eyes of the others, Lu Yuanzheng was no different from his usual self, but only Shi Lei, who was with him every day, could notice the difference
He talked even less and was not in a good mood
Shi Lei didn’t notice it at first and teased him, “Yell! You even came to the battalion today? I thought you had to go straight to the center island to ask for a leave slip to go after your wife!”
Lu Yuanzheng looked up at him, “It’s not like I didn’t think about it You just came back and had to hand over your work”
Shi Lei was silent for a split second and patted Lu Yuanzheng’s shoulder, “In our line of business, sometimes we really don’t blame other women for annoying us It’s too sensible The daughter-in-law has run away and still have to think about handing over the work first”
“Didn’t run away” Lu Yuanzheng glanced at Shi Lei, “My daughter-in-law went to my second uncle’s place for half a month”
Shi Lei: “”
He put down his pen and looked at Lu Yuanzheng curiously, “How do you know? With that piece of paper that is stuck together and the ink is all muddled into a ball?”
Lu Yuanzheng gave a faint hmmm
Shi Lei then realized that Lu Yuanzheng was unhappy or particularly unhappy
Since there was a time gate, all Lu Yuanzheng had to do was wait
Waiting was actually a particularly torturous thing
Every day at noon and at night, Lu Yuanzheng shut himself up at home to work on the electric car
At first, people didn’t know that he was working on the car, they only knew that he was doing carpentry every day
In the evening, Lu Yuanzheng would not eat the meal, and when he had time, he would run to the shore and do nothing but sit on the rocks and look at the sea
Once Shi Lei and Song Baoying walk by, Shi Lei wanted to say hello to him, walked forward a few steps to see his back, felt that his back is particularly lonely
However, his own past can not destroy this loneliness may also make his mood worse, so he retracted his footsteps
Song Baoying also asked him, why not go to say hello
Shi Lei said, “What he wants is Xu Wen not me”
Song Baoying sighed softly, “This Xu Wen’s sister-in-law isn’t usually an unreliable person! Why did she leave without saying hello this time?”
Without waiting for Shi Lei to say anything, she added, “You can’t blame Mrs Xu It’s you guys who did the closed training, and she couldn’t contact the road battalion when she had to leave the island in an emergency She could only leave a note, and no one expected the note to be waterlogged”
Xu Man listened to Song Baoying and Shi Lei as they each revealed the bottom of Lu Yuanzheng She looked sideways at Lu Yuanzheng
Lu Yuanzheng was answering the questions of the other company commanders with a sideways glance, clearly not looking this way, but when Xu Man looked at her, he lifted his hand and covered the back of her hand with a soothing gentle squeeze twice
Xu Wen turned her hand over in his palm, turning her palm upward to interlock her fingers with his
Lu Yuanzheng’s voice paused as he spoke, subconsciously glancing down at their clasped hands He then clasped Xu Man’s hand harder before turning back to continue speaking
Song Boying elbowed Xu Man, “Did Camp Lu ever tell you how he determined that you were the one who came back on the tenth day of their training?”
Xu Man: “?”
She didn’t know
Without waiting for her to ask what the tenth day after training was, Shi Lei began his habit of tearing down Lu Yuanzheng, “What does he know! He just saw a ten days and a half months on the letter But he didn’t know where Xu Wen was going nor did he know what ten days and half a month meant He guessed a few possibilities for himself
For example, Xu Man was away for ten days and half a month from the day he wrote the letter Or that he would come back ten days and half a month after our training was over In short, he thought of many possibilities for this ten days and half a month
It just so happens that today is the tenth day since our training ended and he’s back
I asked him a long time ago, what if he was not allowed to make any of these guesses? Lu Yuanzheng only returned one word”
Xu Man couldn’t wait to follow up, “What?”
“Wait!”
Xu Man was slightly stunned
Song Boying also didn’t understand and directly asked Lu Yuanzheng, “Why don’t you go find her instead of waiting?”
Shi Lei waved his hand, “Didn’t I say so? To hand over the work with me!”
“But you guys finished handing over a long time ago? He can take a vacation if he wants to, right?”
When Shi Lei thought about it, it seemed to be true, their profession was special, and handing over work was not as tedious as in large companies It would only take two or three days at most to really hand over the work
Lu Yuanzheng’s gaze fell towards a table of curious faces, and then glanced sideways at Xu Wen, slowly speaking, “It’s not that I don’t want to go look for it It’s just that I’m afraid of getting sidetracked What if I go and you happen to come back? Or what if I guessed wrong and you’re not at Second Brother’s?”
It wasn’t cost-effective to waste a vacation where you could accompany her to her exams and home and still miss meeting her a day earlier
Everyone at the table caught on and was quiet for a split second, then boiled over
Song Baoying poked Shi Lei lightly with his index finger: “Both are principal officers, why aren’t you so affectionate?”
DouDouMom followed suit, “All are officers, you learn from others!”
“They’re all soldiers, you follow their example!”
“They’re all men you learn from them!”
The people next to him were quiet for a moment and cursed, “Fuck me! All bachelors who are you talking about? You don’t even have a daughter-in-law and you have the nerve to talk about me? I’m at least engaged!”
The topic was thus ripped away
Only Xu Wen, his nose sore, whispered, “I’m sorry!”
He must have been in a hurry these days!
Had he known this, he wouldn’t have gone to Lijiang
“You’re right, it was just an accident” Lu Yuanzheng shook his head and lowered his head to whisper in her ear, “I just missed you too much”
One sentence made Xu Man lose her mind to eat, and it was hard to stay up until the end of the meal, but Dongsheng still refused to go home, and insisted on going to DouDou’s house to play
“Why don’t you two go back first, and let Dongsheng come home with us for a night first He and Doudou haven’t seen each other for so long, the two of them haven’t played enough” Doudou’s mom opened her mouth with a smile
It wasn’t that she was cheap and unwilling to invite Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen to her home as guests It was said that a small farewell was better than a new marriage
Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng hadn’t seen each other for so long, and as a person who had been there before, Doudou mom knew that both of them couldn’t wait to go home
She simply took the initiative to take over Dongsheng as the little light bulb
Xu Wen did not think so much, but also some hesitation: “Will not be too much trouble for you?”
Lu Yuanzheng, on the other hand, thanked him graciously, “Then I’ll trouble you, sister-in-law!” He said, holding Xu Man’s hand as he walked back
Xu Wen: “”
Whispering, she asked him, “Is it appropriate to leave Dongsheng behind like this?”
Lu Yuanzheng whispered twice in Xu Man’s ear
Xu Man’s face immediately burned like fire, raising her hand to pinch his arm
Lu Yuanzheng backhanded her hand and led her back
As soon as she entered the living room door, Lu Yuanzheng closed the door with one hand and pulled Xu Man back with the other
Xu Man let out a cry of surprise, and when she reacted, her back was already against the door panel, and without waiting to speak, Lu Yuanzheng’s lips kissed down
It was hot and intense
All the worry and anxiety of these days and the thoughts of more than a month were in this kiss
Xu Wen also missed him and raised her neck to respond to him
Lu Yuanzheng propped one hand on her back waist to prevent her from falling, his other hand restlessly roamed over her body, causing a shudder wherever his fingertips passed, and the buttons on his clothes were undone one by one
Some of the buttons in hidden locations were about as bad as they could be, and Lu Yuanzheng impatiently ripped them off with one hand
“My clothes!” Xu Wen tried to protest
Lu Yuanzheng didn’t reply, and as soon as he copied her on a nearby bean bag, his entire body covered up
This should have been the craziest time since they met, from the beanbag to the sofa chair From the functioning upstairs bathroom to the bed in the bedroom
If it wasn’t for the lights from the watchtower that would sweep back and forth, Xu Wen thought that with the animal that Lu Yuanzheng had been this night he would have gone out to the terrace to do it again as well
The man expressed all of his emotions in such an intimate and uninterrupted manner
Xu Man could not bear to be tossed and tossed, and cried and begged, and finally she did not know how she fell asleep
Wake up again is ten minutes after sunset
Feeling very cut off
Spirit is undoubtedly satisfied pleasure, days of longing to be fed
But physically, I’m not so comfortable My back is sore, my legs are weak, and I’ve got bruises on my back and knees from yesterday’s fight against a door panel or a hard washstand
The rest of the body wasn’t much better, with the culprit’s fingerprints clearly visible on the side of his waist
“Son of a bitch!” Xu Wen cursed indignantly
Lu Yuanzheng happened to come in with his lunchbox, but was very self-aware not to ask Xu who she was cursing, put the lunchbox on the writing desk, walked over to the bed and sat on the edge of the bed, lifted the sheet covering her body, and asked, “Still hurting?”
Xu asked, casting a sidelong glance at him, “Let’s try switching between you and me?”
She thought that her eyes were very stern, but unfortunately, with spring water in her eyes and a frown on her face, she was a bit seductive instead of scary
Lu Yuanzheng rolled his throat, and changed his words: “You want to be on top? Also fine, listen to you”
Xu asked, “”
Wanting to lift his foot to kick him, he pulled the side of his leg and let out another painful ouch
The good thing is that Lu Yuanzheng just has no seriousness in his mouth, his big palm ignored Xu Man’s opposition, pressed on the side of his waist to give her kneading and pressing
Xu Man saw that he didn’t mess around, so she didn’t move, rolling over on her back and making him
“Up a bit”
“Below”
“Yes, right here, use some force”
“Don’t! Just a little lighter here”
“Hiss! It hurts “
Lu Yuanzheng couldn’t bear it and reminded her, “If you keep screaming like that, even if I don’t do anything to you, others will think we’re doing something As a reminder, this is the dinner time door The houses behind us and next to us are occupied”
Xu Wen: “”
Xu Man brushed his hand away, “So you get high and I’m the one who suffers? Letting you get a massage and being overheard is still my fault?”
Lu Yuanzheng originally wanted to reply, “Didn’t you have a good time last night too?” Fearing that Xu Man would get really annoyed and not let him go to bed again tonight, he honestly changed his words and admitted his mistake: “My fault! It’s all my fault! Don’t be angry, daughter-in-law! Why don’t I feed you?”
“No need! Just stay away from me!” Xu Wen grunted and got out of bed herself, still a little uncomfortable, she frowned and walked over to the table to sit down and finish her meal
“Are you still busy at night?”
Xu Wen took the initiative to open her mouth, she didn’t want to ignore Lu Yuanzheng, but she had slept all day and was really full, she wanted to go out for a walk and didn’t want to go alone
Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, “I haven’t been that busy lately, I was able to rest on time It’s Wednesday today, only a little while to the battalion headquarters for roll call You want to go out?”
“Uh-huh Want to go out for a walk”
Lu Yuanzheng subconsciously glanced at her waist and abdomen, “You don’t hurt anymore?”
After saying this, he saw Xu Man muttering, and without waiting for her to get angry, he hurriedly added, “I’ve changed the houseboat a little bit, do you want to go take a look?”
Only then did Xu Man’s face look a little better
“This is the houseboat you’ve altered?” Xu Man stood on the deck and turned around, “What’s the difference?”
Lu Yuanzheng touched the tip of his nose, “I added a few more nails”
In fact, did not change anything, is to see Xu Man’s body is not comfortable, think the houseboat does not need her to walk on her own, but also afraid to say straight to her will be angry, so they found such an excuse
Xu Man also understood, grunted twice without saying anything
Lu Yuanzheng brought out chairs from within the bamboo house and placed them on the deck, allowing Xu Man to sit on them
“Are you guys tired from the intensive training?”
“You’ve been at Second Brother’s place for the past month?”
The two spoke at the same time
Lu Yuanzheng answered first, “It’s okay”
Xu Man automatically translated okay as tired
This was because Lu Yuanzheng’s standard for measuring tiredness was too different from ordinary people
When he said he wasn’t tired, it was quite tiring, and when he said it was okay, it was quite tiring, and the kind that would hurt
If he opened his mouth and said he was tired, he would have to lose half his life if he didn’t die
Xu Wen raised his head to look at him
There was only one battery-operated light bulb in the houseboat, and it wasn’t very bright, so she could see Lu Yuanzheng’s brows and eyes, but she couldn’t see his expression
Xu Man raised his hand and touched his face, “You’ve lost weight again!”
Lu Yuanzheng is already a strong and thin body type, it is not good to be fat but also hard to be thin, if he is still thin, it will be a lot of crime
Lu Yuan Zheng shook his head, or a “okay” Asked her, “You haven’t answered me yet!”
“Of course not I only stayed at Second Brother’s for a week Then went on a trip with someone else’s husband”
