Chapter 137

Lu Yuanzheng was particularly surprised, “What’s going on?”

Xu Wen heard his voice, looked up at him, and let out a cry

Lu Yuanzheng: “”

He subconsciously looked toward the door, then remembered that this is the second floor, others can not see

Xu asked this voice, do not know also thought he how she it

Lu Yuanzheng walked to the bedside, squatted in front of Xu Man, looked up at her: “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” He said

Lu Yuanzheng said, “Why are you still crying?” He took out a white handkerchief from his pocket and wiped away her tears

Xu Man cried especially sadly, “I’ve gotten fat!”

“Huh?” Lu Yuanzheng didn’t quite understand a bit

“I’m so fat that I can’t fit into my clothes! Woohoo!”

Lu Yuan Zheng: “”

So you’re not going downstairs because of this? And crying so hard?

However, the two were not on their first day together, and knew that a seemingly normal question would definitely irritate Xu Wen even more

After thinking about it, carefully said: “You are not fat ah! Why do you still say fat?”

This is not an unkind remark, Xu Man is really not fat

In Lu Yuanzheng’s opinion, he is excessively thin

He was afraid of breaking her waist if he was too strong

Recently, because of the Kaya incident, the two of them haven’t done it for a few days

Thinking of this, Lu Yuanzheng subconsciously glanced at Xu Wen, carefully sized her up, and opened his mouth, “Are the breasts a bit bigger? The waist is a little thicker?”

When he finished speaking, he couldn’t wait to give himself a slap

Xu Wen directly cried until she choked, “You’re a straight man of steel who can tell that I’ve gained weight! Whoops! Then I’m just really fat”

Lu Yuanzheng raised his hand over his face and wiped it from top to bottom in an attempt to appease, “No! It’s you who said you’re fat I’m studying where you think you’re fat? In my eyes you are not fat, really not fat! Really!”

“Even you will lie to me!” Xu Wen cried more sadly, “I can’t even zipper up my clothes”

These days, it’s actually popular to have extra wide clothes, but Xu Man doesn’t like them, she likes the slim-fit style, and most of the clothes in her closet are of this kind

That’s why it’s obvious when you’ve gained weight, the bust and waistline are much tighter, and some of them are hard to zipper up or button up

“Maybe the clothes have shrunk?” Lu Yuanzheng was silent for a while, looking for a complementary sentence

“Then it can’t be that so many clothes have shrunk, right?” Xu Wen reached out and scratched the bed

She had just tried on these five or six sets of clothes, and they were indeed too small to fit

Lu Yuanzheng coaxed and persuaded her, but Xu Man cried until her eyes were swollen and she was still unwilling to go out

It wasn’t until it was time to leave that someone underneath shouted, “Camp Lu, it’s time to go”

Only then did Xu Man come back to his senses from the sadness of getting fat, and blasted Lu Yuanzheng out the door, changing into a looser outfit

Pulling open the door, outside the door, Lu Yuanzheng was waiting for her with a hot towel in his hand, pointing to Xu Man’s red and swollen eyes, “Wipe your face? It’ll be more comfortable”

After going downstairs, the warriors all noticed that something was wrong with Xu Wen

One of them just wanted to ask, but was pulled to the side by another covering his mouth and instructing him twice

After that, that warrior looked at Lu Yuanzheng in the wrong way

Lu Yuanzheng: “”

A hundred mouths were unable to defend themselves

Xu Wen spoke especially little on the way to Pengcheng

She couldn’t figure out how she had gained weight, she clearly hadn’t eaten anything indiscriminately

Recently even the fruits have been reduced a lot

The beloved durian has been given to her sisters-in-law to share part of it, how can she still get fat?

And a little bit fatter than last week

It might not be visible by looking, but it still felt obvious when trying on clothes

This problem put Xu Man in a very bad mood, and her mood has been very low

Lu Yuanzheng didn’t smile no matter how much he coaxed her

They were still driving the Rainbow

But this time, it was really a camouflaged Rainbow ship, and at first glance, it was pretty much the same as the previous Rainbow ship

However, this time, the ship was equipped with real bullets

If you are fooled once, don’t expect a second Kaya ship to come in again

Uncle Two was still waiting at the pier on time, but this time, Uncle Two was not allowed to get on the ship, after all, this time it was not the real Rainbow, so the ship could not take people on board at will

The warriors helped unload the cargo

Xu Man didn’t wait for them, and went to Xu Wen’s store with Lu Yuanzheng first

When Mr and Mrs Xu Wen saw Xu Man and Lu Yuanzheng coming, they couldn’t take care of their customers and asked with concern: “How are you guys doing? Are you okay?”

Xu Man and Lu Yuanzheng shook their heads at the same time

Xu Man spoke, “We’re fine Aren’t we making deliveries as usual?”

Sang Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief, “Your brother has been buying newspapers every day since he came back There are so many pages of newspapers, and he only reads the one related to you guys”

Xu Wen gave Xu Wen a look, “Worthy of being my second brother Knowing to care about me But, second brother, if you wait until you see something on it, it’ll be over”

News tended to lag relatively behind, especially now

Rainbow Island did have military reporters on the island, but no local reporters have been seen yet About as well as not letting them come, right?

A few people chatted for a few moments, and Xu Man chimed in while quickly looking over the inventory records and keeping the books straight

“This week’s sales and purchases seem to be quite a bit better than last week again?”

Xu Wen nodded, “Second Uncle said there are especially many repeat customers Then there’s the old bringing in the new Everyone recognizes him now and praises him for his honesty in business Second Uncle said that these were all handmade by the military wives People call his goods ‘Army Wives Brand’

What is even more amazing is that once, there was an inspection by the higher-ups Everyone ran away, but Uncle Er had too much stuff, so he couldn’t pack up enough and was taken away I went to pay the fine to fish out Uncle Two

As a result, when the law enforcement department heard about the source of these things, they said that they are now supporting the military and their families, so they let Uncle Two go without asking for the fine, and returned the goods to him

And also took the initiative to find a store for uncle, said that since what he did was good, do not always follow the violation of the rules, get a good face, do not hide in the future

Even the license plate was done for Uncle Two Just pay some rent One hundred and fifty a year, a lot cheaper than the market price”

“That’s really good!” Xu Wen was also happy

Xu Wen said, “Well, wait for me for a while, I’ll lead you to take a look”

“Can my sister-in-law be busy by herself if you’re gone?”

“If she can’t handle it, let the next door help out, don’t you guys have business to attend to?”

Xu Wen hesitated, didn’t push back, and followed Xu Wen

She did have a heavy responsibility this time

They had to return to the island before nightfall, and before that, they had to finish her sister-in-law’s business, as well as take care of the manufacturer of the stereo printer

The location of Second Uncle’s store was slightly more remote than Xu Wen’s, but it was better because it was spacious

In order to rent this house, the second uncle retired his own place, in the back of the store put a marching bed to rest with

The groceries in the store are neatly arranged in different categories

At this moment, the second uncle has just returned from the transportation of goods, and is replenishing the new goods to the shelves

Seeing Xu Man, the second uncle asked smilingly, “Wenzi told you everything, right? This is our store now Daughter ah! Don’t be offended if I didn’t ask your permission”

“How could I? I’ve always said we’d rent our own storefront Besides, you had no choice It’s too affordable to rent such a big storefront at this price”

Second Uncle was also satisfied, wiping his sweat with the towel around his neck, and greeted Xu Man and Lu Yuanzheng, “Come in for a drink and a rest? I’ll be done with the goods in a moment”

Xu Man shook his head, “Second uncle, next time I still have some things to do today, I have to go find someone first”

Leaving from Second Uncle’s grocery store, the group stopped a tricycle pulling people towards the harbor

The big merchants were all active in that area now

“Second brother, you’re in contact with a lot of people now that you run a restaurant, do you know of any merchants from the other side of the river or foreign merchants who make printers? It’s the kind that builds the kind of printers that can print on paper”

Xu Wen thought about it and nodded, “There seems to be such a factory One time a guest came to my place for dinner and had ink all over his hands I asked when I was serving him food, and he said he worked in some foreign factory that did printing technology I can’t remember exactly which one though”

This factory area was even bigger than Xu asked imagined, most of them were still under construction, and only a small portion had been put into use

The three of them asked a few along the road, and none of them had anything to do with printers

Xu Man wiped the sweat from his forehead and frowned, “It’s too much of a waste of time to search like this”

They still had to return to Rainbow Island in the afternoon, so they didn’t have time to ink

Xu Wen was also too hot to handle, using his hand as a fan, fanning himself in front of his face, “If you ask me, this is official business Couldn’t the military or the state step in to coordinate?”

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, “Not really Firstly, with the level of our domestic printer technology, it is indeed slightly lacking, it’s hard enough to build it Secondly, the officials can’t even step in If the officials move, the movement will soon be captured by the countries, which will easily cause them to raise their defenses”

“The point is that in case they know what the materials I want are and put the raw materials and printer technology under control, we’ll be passive” Xu Wen added

Xu Wen let out an oh-so-comprehensible sigh and summarized, “You come to buy it yourself, representing only an individual That way the seller won’t think much of it”

Xu Wen nodded, “Try to still find a Chinese descendant If you really can’t, you can only buy the parts separately, and when the time comes to ship it back home, let the domestic printer dealer assemble it”

She would end up becoming passive by handing over the initiative to other countries

Xu Wen slapped his head, “I remembered when you said Chinese descent That lad isn’t really a lad, he’s older than all of us He is a Chinese-American, seems to be a supervisor of a foreign-funded factory With us is hometown, go to my home to eat a meal on your sister-in-law’s handiwork, but also gave me an address, so that I have time to send him a meal, I forget about it”

Xu asked: “”

Lu Yuanzheng: “Where’s the address?”

Xu Wen pulled out his body’s pockets are not there, touching his head, “It seems to be in the store I’ll go back and get it!”

There was no better way Xu Wen nodded

Lu Yuanzheng said, “Then let’s split up Second brother, you go back and find the address, and Xu Man and I will ask a few more factories”

One couldn’t just put their hopes on such a small note

It would be an even bigger waste of time if Xu Wen couldn’t find it

Xu Man instructed Xu Wen, “Second brother, you remember to bring over a serving of dumplings”

While waiting for Xu Wen, Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Man asked about two more factories

There was still a distance between the factories, so it was a bit time-consuming to walk

Xu Wen wore shoes with high heels, so it was a bit hard for her to walk so far

Lu Yuanzheng helped her to take a rest in the shade

Xu Man let out a long sigh, “How nice to be able to tender!”

“What is bidding?”

“It’s when, for example, I have a project that needs sellers and post the requirements All qualified sellers can come to me and show their goods and prices for me to pick I compare the goods and pick one of them Formalizing this process step by step is called bidding”

“So we can totally tender, then? In your personal name”

“The problem is that the tender has to be a collective unit in the first place Secondly the tendering units are all of a certain social status It’s not like any cat or dog has the qualifications for bidding I personally am definitely not qualified Furthermore, the tender is to have a certain scale, such as a one-time order hundreds of thousands of printers may be able to bid Like we just need parts for one printer, even if I hold a loudspeaker and shout at the manufacturer, they won’t necessarily take care of me”

Lu Yuanzheng nodded, “There’s still so much to talk about”

“That’s right! The water of business is very deep! Young man, you’d better be a good soldier,” Xu Wen raised his hand and patted Lu Yuanzheng’s shoulder, pretending to advise him in a profound manner

Lu Yuanzheng laughed, “Good!”

“That’s right! As the saying goes, ‘If you don’t listen to the old man’s words, you’ll suffer before your eyes!”

Lu Yuanzheng cast a sidelong glance at her, “Taking advantage of me? Is it because I haven’t cleaned you up for a few days, and I owe you again?”

The middle word, he said it in Xu Man’s ear

Xu Wen didn’t hear it too well, but she could guess what the word was, and instantly turned red, reprimanding, “Shameless!”

Lu Yuanzheng smiled and didn’t say anything

Every time Xu Man got angry, he would say the same thing

In the past, he even replied, “What face do I want with my own daughter-in-law?”

Now he doesn’t even bother to say it

Anyway, it doesn’t hurt

After a few words of poverty, Xu Wen rode over on a pedaled tricycle out of breath

“Where did you come from?” Xu Wen patted the back bucket of the tricycle

“Borrowed it from someone else, afraid to delay your business” Xu Wen raised his hand to look at the rising sun and hurriedly drew out the note with the address from his pocket

Lu Yuanzheng saw Xu Wen gasping for breath, presumably all the way desperately pedaled over, let him and Xu Man to the rear bucket to sit, replaced himself to pedal the tricycle

This piece of Xu Wen really came, than Xu asked them to familiarize themselves with the road, to the road to point out the road, soon arrived

This factory does not look small, the guard is very responsible for not letting them in, but agreed to help them call the workshop to call people

Not much later, a young man in anti-static overalls ran out

“Brother Xu, why did you come over?”

“Came to bring you some food By the way, there’s something I want to ask for your help”

“Come in with me!” The youth painfully logged in the doorman’s book and led them through the door

Lu Yuanzheng had a sharp eye and recognized the name he had written: Luo Zemin

Luo Zemin had his own separate office, after entering the office, he took off the uniform he had to wear to enter the workshop and poured a cup of water for the three of them

Xu Wen put the dumplings he brought on the table, Luo Zemin swallowed his saliva, “For me?”

Xu Wen nodded, “You said last time that you wanted to eat mackerel-filled dumplings It just so happens that my wife wrapped some today, so I brought them over for you”

“Then I’m welcome” Luo Zemin opened the lunch box in front of them without seeing them very much

The dumplings were more or less cold after sitting for such a long time

The fishy odor of the Spanish mackerel filling overflowed

Xu Man smelled, his stomach was a little uncomfortable, and he hastily picked up a cup and drank some water to suppress it

At the same time an unbelievable thought floated to the mind: it will not really be pregnant, right?

This idea flickered

Because Luo Zemin asked them while eating, “What are you looking for me for?”

Xu Man was busy speaking, “I want to make a customized printer I have reference example drawings and can talk about the detailed requirements, but I don’t have too specific dimensions Can you help me make it?”

“One?” Luo Zemin was a bit puzzled, “Why do you still need to make one? Can’t you go outside and buy one?”

Xu Man shook his head, “No Because the printer I want is a bit special Because the printer I want doesn’t contain ink or paper It contains metal powder What I want to type isn’t ordinary paper either, it’s three-dimensional metal”

Luo Zemin choked on a mouthful of dumplings in his throat

Lu Yuanzheng quickly slapped him on the back a few times to prevent him from choking himself to death

Xu Wen was busy handing him a cup of water

After Luo Zemin calmed his breathing, he held his chest and said, “This lesbian ”

Xu Wen then remembered to introduce, “This is my sister Xu Wen and my brother-in-law Lu Yuanzheng”

“Sister Xu, since we’re not outsiders, I’ll be honest This request of yours is unrealistic We’ve never made the printer you’re talking about I’ve been working in this factory I’m talking about the headquarters for more than ten years Our factory’s printers are also ranked in the world, but I have never heard of a printer that can print metal or three-dimensional metal either”
