Chapter 131

It wasn’t that Sang Xiaoqing was good
It was Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen who had been instructing her to go with Xu Wen to the island to see what was going on
To see how Xu Wen is really doing, she was told to go to the island with Xu Wen
They were afraid that Xu Man would report the good news instead of the bad
This is something that Xu Wen can’t decide to look at Lu Yuanzheng
Lu nodded, “Of course Relatives are allowed to visit Just, are you and your second brother free?”
That’s the bad thing about doing business, once you open for business, you can’t just say you’re closing
Sang Xiaoqing froze and smiled bitterly, “There are no big vacancies, but there are quite a few small vacancies”
Like the door between meals is her free time
Xu Man thought for a moment, “If you really want to go, then I’ll pick you up on Saturday afternoon, and then you can close the door at night and go back to the island with me, and then come back early the next morning!”
This will not delay their business
“This ” Sang Xiaoqing was a little hesitant, “If you come by yourself that late, will there be danger on the road?”
Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, “It’s fine, I can accompany ask to come together I’ll arrange for someone to escort her if I have to take time off work”
Xu Wen heard a frown, “Will this cause too much trouble for you?”
Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, “No Family visits are normal Family visits are normal Moreover, the island’s family area is basically separate from the camp area, so it doesn’t affect anything”
Even if the kind of compound family building and the military important place are in the same yard is also a partial restriction, did not say directly not allowed to enter
So it was agreed, next week Xu Man came to pick up Xu Wen and Sang Xiaoqing two families on the island as a guest
After dinner, there is still more than an hour to return to the island, Lu Yuanzheng looked at the watch, signaling that everyone is free to move around, but must return to the team at the right time
“Want to go for a stroll?”
Xu Man yawned and shook her head, “I’ve been here a lot lately, there’s nothing to stroll around”
Lu Yuanzheng looked at her askance, “You seem to be quite sleepy lately!”
Xu Man now spends most of the day sleeping, it’s not really like her style
Xu Man nodded, “Spring sleepiness, autumn fatigue, summer napping Now that the season has changed and it’s fall, it’s normal to be sleepy It’s just that my period isn’t normal and it’s bothering me a bit”
She has been having the precursor to her period for the past few days, her abdomen is uncomfortable, her chest is swollen and painful, and it lasted for almost a week, but the result is that her period is just a little bit, and it’s gone in a day
Lu Yuanzheng saw a Chinese medicine center diagonally across the street and asked her, “Do you want to go in and take a look?”
Xu Wen waved her hand, “I don’t want to go”
Lu Yuanzheng saw that her face was quite good, but she was easily sleepy, so he didn’t force her
The group returned to the island in the evening
The letter carrier sighed in relief when he saw Xu Man, “Aigoo! Sister-in-law, you’re back! Your letter”
Xu Man saw the postman holding a stack of envelopes at least fifty centimeters thick, and was a bit startled: “All mine?”
“Yes! What have you been up to? Why are there so many letters?”
Xu Wen was also a bit confused
Lu Yuanzheng was close to the postman and smoothly picked up the letters, how could there be hundreds of letters in a thick stack
“Look at the thickness of your letters, I guess you won’t be able to finish them today Wait for me to come over next time, and then bring you back the letter?”
“Good!” Xu Man was busy thanking him, “Thank you! Sorry for making you wait for me! Next time, you can ask any of them to bring it to me Saves you waiting”
Whose time gate was also a time gate
The letter carrier waved his hand, “I’ll let them pass on one or two letters to you as well This time, there are a bit more than one hundred and thirty-seven letters in total, and I’m afraid that it would be bad if they were to be passed around and lost”
Xu Man thanked him again, subconsciously wanting to send a small gift as a token of appreciation, but in the end, he felt his pockets and had nothing
He had no choice but to give up
Lu Yuanzheng casually flipped through the words on the envelopes of a few letters as he walked towards Xu Man and let out an “ooh”, “Your business scope is quite wide! These letters are from all over the country”
He then looked at five or six letters, the addresses of the letters were not repeated
In the evening, their family didn’t need to cook, Sang Xiaoqing brought her some food that only needed to be heated
But Dongsheng was so happy
Little children like flowery and green things
The hundred or so letters were covered with stamps from various places
Dongsheng carefully sat on his knees by the coffee table and removed the stamps from all the envelopes one by one
Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Man then opened the letters one by one
He didn’t want to read them, but Xu Man said that they should all be students who were going to the island, that there was no privacy involved, and that there was something else to discuss with him after reading the letters
Only then did he do it
The contents of more than a hundred letters were basically similar
At the beginning of the letter, Xu Man was first praised, and after that, he introduced himself, and after that, he expressed his desire to go to the island and study with Xu Man
The difference is probably the self-introduction part, everyone’s situation is different, only the desire to learn is the same
Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Man carefully read the letter one by one
Xu Man explained to Lu Yuanzheng the articles he had submitted to the newspaper a while ago
Lu Yuanzheng was aware that Xu Man had submitted articles
“So, these ,” Lu Yuanzheng shook the letter in his hand, “are all going to the island?”
Xu Man nodded, “At the very least it looks like it”
Lu Yuanzheng frowned, it was actually kind of stressful to have so many strangers on the island all of a sudden
Xu Man also knew that, and continued, “That’s why I said that after reading the letter and discussing with you, we’ll pick some of the people to come up First of all, it has to be over eighteen years old, it also has to be a girl “
Lu Yuanzheng interrupted her, “You still really want to be a Red Queen?”
At that time, Xu Man also greeted him when he pitched the idea of inviting a group of female students up to the island, so as to increase the probability of unmarried fighters finding a match
Lu Yuanzheng only replied, “But more than half of our fighters are uneducated, and half of the remaining ones don’t have a high level of education If you get some schoolgirls, can you have a common language?” That was why he didn’t take Xu Man’s proposal seriously
He really didn’t think that Xu Man could recruit so many applicants with just one article
What did Xu Man say at the time?
She said that there were still unmarried officers The officers are always educated, step by step, to solve one counts one
Lu Yuanzheng even teased her, “But according to our rules for fighting for food, you have to solve the personal problems of the soldiers before you can solve the officers'”
Xu Wen rolled her eyes, “Marriage is not a meal, so what if the soldiers are bachelor to the age of thirty and still have to let the officers be bachelor to old age?”
Lu Yuanzheng was in a hurry to get out of the house, so he said a few words and left, he really didn’t think that Xu Man could use this way to get the girls on the island, this time he couldn’t take it seriously anymore and frowned
If these girls came to the island, they would be safe, but food and shelter was a problem
They weren’t considered family or friends and couldn’t live in the family area
It wasn’t that he was apathetic, in the barracks, rules were bigger than words
But do not live in the family building, where to arrange these people?
“In fact ,” Xu asked, flexing his fingers and tapping the armrests of the bamboo chair, “I’ve been thinking about these problems these days when I have the time”
“Come up with a solution?”
“Slightly, but not perfectly”
“Tell me about it”
Xu Wen lifted his chin to indicate the huge map of Rainbow Island on the wall, “There’s a location on that planning map of yours that you intend to give ordinary villagers to live in, right?”
Lu Yuanzheng nodded
“Then let them settle down there first”
Lu Yuanzheng cried and laughed, “It’s not true that this place is suitable for living But it has to be built and completed before it’s suitable for living Currently, this place is also a patch of weeds and trees, and the overall terrain is flat, but in order to build a house, it has to be cleared of weeds first, just like when you build a school
It’s a lot of work, as you know from having done it”
He gestured down to this pile of letters on the coffee table, “The girls are here to learn from you You can’t put together another army of girls to build a house, can you?”
“It’s not impossible!” Xu Man really did have this intention, “But this can’t come out of my mouth Otherwise it’s very much like I’m snubbing them to do hard labor”
“Is it not snubbing people?” Lu Yuanzheng lifted his eyelids with a smirk, “Could it be that you are sincerely telling people to come and learn?”
“It was!” Xu Wen lifted his chin, “I just wanted to invite them to come and learn ah! It’s just that if they meet the person of their choice in the course of studying here, that’s not something I can control right?”
“The problem is that you don’t just want them to find their intended partners now, you also want people to do hard labor to build houses”
Xu Man got angry and slapped the letter in his hand on the coffee table, “Lu Yuanzheng! Who am I helping? You’re still throwing cold water here! I don’t care then! You can just be a bachelor with your soldiers for the rest of your life!”
Dongsheng was concentrating on pasting the stamps he had carefully keyed off onto his own stamp book, when Xu Man’s slap startled him
He actually couldn’t quite understand what Lu Yuanzheng was saying to Xu Man, so he didn’t listen
He blankly looked at the puffing Xu Man and then at the smiling Lu Yuanzheng, and also glared angrily at Lu Yuanzheng: ”Dad! Did you make Ma Ma angry again? Why are you such an old man always upset with your own woman? Didn’t you say you have to spoil your own woman? Why are you bullying her? Look, if you make her mad, I’ll suffer too!”
One of his stamps was pasted crookedly, and the paste overflowed
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
Lu Yuanzheng “hissed”, raised his hand is a chestnut, “Who did you learn this from?”
The small talk is a set of words
Dongsheng covered his forehead and moved in the direction of Xu Qi, “Ma Ma, Dad hit me! I was beaten because I spoke up for you! You have to do me justice”
Xu asked, “”
She also noticed that Dongsheng was now a bit well, it seemed to be more like the mischievousness that a child of this age should be, but spoke like a small adult, quite contradictory
But, she didn’t mind taking advantage of the situation, touched Dongsheng’s head and glared at Lu Yuanzheng: “What’s the point of hitting my son?”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
He bent down to pick up the letter paper that was slapped to the ground by Xu Man, and moved to Xu Man’s side, a handful of letter paper on the coffee table to organize, which slowly and methodically opened his mouth, “First, I’m afraid that I can’t play a bachelor in this life I have a daughter-in-law”
Xu asked, “”
Drumming cheeks hummed: “Want to be a bachelor is not simple? I’ll let you be a bachelor in a minute, do you believe me?”
This time it was Lu Yuanzheng’s turn to squint at her, his tone warning, “Xu Man!”
Knowing that he didn’t like to hear this kind of words, Xu Man hummed, looked away, and didn’t open her mouth again
Lu Yuanzheng placed the organized letter paper on the coffee table and pointed down at Xu Man in vain, “See how I’m going to clean you up tonight!”
Dongsheng hugged Xu Man, “Ma Ma, you sleep with me tonight, I’ll protect you”
Lu Yuanzheng stretched his arm, grabbed Dongsheng’s collar and yanked him away, “Where are you? Go stick your stamps! Adults talk to children less interfering”
Dongsheng bristled, but in the end, he was still forced by Lu Yuanzheng’s force, letting go of his hand and honestly returning to his original place to glue his stamps
Xu Wen got up from his chair and went to the homemade refrigerator to take out a plate of peeled durian meat
Lu Yuanzheng and Dongsheng instantly turned pale
Dongsheng moved to neatly scratch the stamps and got up, “Dad, Ma Ma, I’m going to look for DouDou I want to show her these new stamps of mine”
Saying this, without waiting for Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen to agree, he ran out in a puff of smoke
Lu Yuanzheng’s face twitched as he took a deep breath and exhaled it halfway through, just about to open his mouth when Xu Man preempted him, “Don’t go anywhere, just sit there If you don’t want to do it, I remember that the durian skin has not been thrown, or I will find out for you to kneel down for a while and then we will talk?”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
A man who knows the time is a man of honor!
A great man can bend and bend and bend!
A good man doesn’t fight with women!
After some mental construction, Lu Yuanzheng moved a little to the side and laughed, “Not so much, not so much This durian is good and enlightening I was suddenly enlightened and felt that I was not enlightened enough just now I take back what I just said, your idea is especially good! Very good! I sincerely thank you on behalf of the vast number of unmarried officers and soldiers on the island”
Xu Wen licked the durian flesh stained on his lips and nodded, “Continue”
This durian was ripe through, and the flesh was glutinous and sweet, each bite a feast for the tongue
The corner of Lu Yuanzheng’s mouth twitched, and he moved to the side without moving
Xu Wen saw it, and Lu Yuanzheng stiffened
Xu Wen said nothing, but Lu Yuanzheng let out a faintly invisible sigh of relief and moved a little more without a trace before continuing, ”Do whatever you want to do! I will definitely cooperate with you fully Daughter-in-law, what do you say next?”
Why was he brain-dead against Xu Wen?
No, what went in was the durian
It’s killing the stench! If he added it in when he made smoke bombs again in the future, the enemy could probably just surrender
Xu Man slowly savored the softness of the durian flesh in small bites, sniffing, ”It’s not a big deal Our place is different from other places, the political examination of the girls on the island still needs to be done, so contact the place yourself!”
This didn’t need to be reminded by Xu Man, Lu Yuanzheng would do it as well, nodding his head as he sniffed
“Some of these people coming here are middle school graduates some are high school graduates, and most of them are youths from the countryside who just returned to the city They are not just high school students Regardless of their family conditions, at the very least, they will no longer be pampered young ladies”
Wang Ying’s princess disease was heavy enough, but now hasn’t she tightened up a lot to live with Zhao just fine?
Why can’t the girls who came here?
“I’m not that greedy I don’t expect all of them to find someone to stay on the island But if five out of a hundred girls can fall for our officers and soldiers, isn’t it the least we can do to settle for five?”
This Loop Expedition nodded his head with particular sincerity
“I’m not a Bodhisattva I innocently help them with tutoring for nothing, I don’t want any money or goods I don’t expect them to do anything for me The only requirement is to study here During this period of time, they are free to leave as they wish, and I won’t stop them But if they see eye to eye with our soldiers and officers during the study period, it won’t do any harm, right? It’s not like I’m forcing a match”
Lu Yuanzheng was about to speak
Xu Wen knew what he was worried about, “I know you guys are busy I also know that you and your soldiers are sometimes overly axed and not very good at dealing with girls That’s why I said to let the girls live in that new future village
My idea is to start the girls off in tents In the process they might want to build their own huts Even if they don’t want to, you can give your soldiers a little bit of encouragement to come and help the girls build houses when you are resting
Wouldn’t it be a chance to get along after a while?”
Lu Yuanzheng first took stock of his plans for the second half of the year After thinking about it, he said, “If we are expected to help, I’m afraid this house won’t be built for a while It’s possible to drag it out for a little over half a year”
“Just build it before it gets cold” Xu Wen yawned, this was out of her hands
She was only responsible for the idea not the aftermath
Lu Yuanzheng frowned slightly and moved to the side a little bit more
Xu Wen didn’t let him go this time, her index finger hooked towards Lu Yuanzheng, “Come here!”
Lu Yuanzheng’s body stiffened, but he still honestly moved over towards Xu Man, only that expression looked like he was ready to die generously
The more he was like this, the more Xu Wen wanted to clean him up
Xu Wen pointed to her lips, “Kiss me!”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
“Daughter-in-law, can you go brush your teeth first?”
Xu Man had just finished yawning, her eyes were still brimming with tears, and she had a watering face, “Lu Yuanzheng, how dare you dislike me? Do you not love me anymore?”
