Chapter 139

“It must be a girl!” Lu Yuanzheng decisively said

“How do you know?”

“Because it’s my seed!”

Xu asked, “”

Lu Yuanzheng pushed the tricycle over, organized the things in the tricycle compartment, and gave Xu Man an empty seat to sit on, laying down a cushion, “You sit here”

“I’m not that delicate” This kind of careful treatment made Xu Man a little uncomfortable

“It has to be expensive” Lu Yuanzheng insisted

Xu Man rolled her eyes in bewilderment, she was jumping up and down on the crossbar on the edge of the tricycle when she arrived, and now she’s a fragile doll?

Lu Yuanzheng didn’t care what Xu Man thought, he was happy to be a fool and was willing to serve her

He sent Xu Man to the boat and left the tricycle at the pier management office

When he left, he told Xu Wen to come and pick up the tricycle himself

When Lu Yuanzheng returned to the boat, Xu Man was leaning against the wall with his head hanging down, a sad expression on his face

“What are you thinking about?”

“Thinking about how to tell Dongsheng about this” Xu Man let out a long sigh

“Why don’t we ” Lu Yuanzheng suggested, “hide it from him first?”

Xu Man shook his head, “It’s not appropriate If I tell him when my stomach gets bigger or when I give birth, he will be even more angry and aggrieved He will feel that we are hiding it from him Besides, if Dongsheng was born to us, would you still hide it from him because you want a second child?”

Lu Yuanzheng: “”

“Maybe it would too”

Xu asked, “”

That’s true

Back in the production team, a woman’s pregnancy would feel like a particularly embarrassing thing So they would often hide it, not only from the children below them, but also from the public

It was hard to talk about pregnancy, and because of the loose clothing, many people didn’t even know about it until it was born

However, when they give birth, they brag about it all over the world

Especially if you have a son

When it comes to birth banquets, those who have a boy are more aggressive than those who have a girl, and the food is tougher than the food

This kind of thinking could not be changed for a while

Xu Wen took a brief moment to reminisce

It seemed that this kind of patriarchal thinking had been reversed by housing prices?

A few decades later, after the opening of two children, many parents of two sons began to cry at the door of the maternity ward

However

Xu Man still shook his head: ”Since Dongsheng is our son, there is nothing to hide from him Even if they are pro-life, many first-borns are not good at accepting a second child and will make a fuss for a while Let’s be more patient with him and coax him”

Lu Yuanzheng nodded: “Then you don’t need to care I’ll go talk to him later He’s a man even if he’s small, so how can he be so sentimental? He’ll be fine after a while”

Approaching Rainbow Island, Xu Wen and the others saw the slightly arrogant Kaya ship again

The joy of being a first-time father and mother suddenly dissipated for a few moments

Xu Wen suddenly raised his hand and patted Lu Yuanzheng, “You go and have someone stop the ship” Saying so, he got up and headed for the deck

Although Lu Yuanzheng was unsure, he still had someone stop the boat before following him to the deck, standing on the ladder without showing his head

Because he heard Xu Wen say in English that she had just returned from Pengcheng to do business and had brought some fruits and vegetables for the officers and soldiers on the Kaya

Lu Yuanzheng originally also know a little foreign language, just not professional, recently in the bad, can understand quite a lot

“Our country has been a state of etiquette since ancient times Regardless of whether a guest comes uninvited or not, since they’re here, they’re all guests We generally just do our best to treat our guests”

Xu Wen spoke a long string of words almost tongue-twistingly, smiling gently at them, then, dumping out all the fruits and vegetables in the basket and showing the empty basket inside and out, signaling that there were absolutely no hidden weapons or anything, before one by one, he loaded another handful of fruits and vegetables back into the basket, picking them over with a bamboo pole

The Kaya was docked here, and all the officers and soldiers of the f-nation could not leave the ship for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation

Their supply ship would only come once in a long while The ship might not lack big fish and meat, but it definitely lacked fresh fruits and vegetables

The Kaya’s chief officer hesitated and finally didn’t refuse

Because Xu Wen said that she was only visiting her “neighbor” as an ordinary citizen It didn’t involve diplomatic relations between the two countries

If the officers and soldiers of the Kaya were really afraid of owing her a favor, they could give her money and she would accept it

So the officers and soldiers of the Kaya ship who received the fruit and vegetable baskets really handed over a few pieces of their country’s currency

Xu Wen received it graciously and turned around to go down to the ship’s barn

As soon as she stepped down the stairs, she saw Lu Yuanzheng

Seeing her safe return, Lu Yuanzheng reached out his hand

Xu Man put her palm in his hand and let him lead her down the stairs

After walking a few steps, seeing that Lu Yuanzheng had no intention of opening his mouth, Xu Man had no choice but to open her own mouth first: “You didn’t even ask me why I did it?”

Lu Yuanzheng replied, “Parents in our country tend to have a habit When educating their children, they always like to have one singing the red face and one singing the white face”

They, the officers and soldiers, spent the whole day holding loudspeakers and raising weapons to forcefully urge the Kaya to quickly leave the island

Are the officers and men on the Kaya really not afraid?

Not necessarily

All of them were born and raised by their parents, who would want to send themselves to the guns of others?

It is only because of the clothes on their backs and the responsibility they carry on their shoulders

Xu Wen firmly believed that the officers and soldiers on the Kaya must be under even more pressure than those on Rainbow Island

At a time like this, she, an ordinary citizen, showed them a friendly smile and gave them the missing fruits and vegetables

Even if she gave them money, they would still be grateful to her

Once or twice, the effect could not be seen, but over time, it might work at a critical moment at some point

This was something that Lu Yuanzheng could figure out, but he just didn’t figure out Xu Qi’s purpose, “They won’t take the initiative to leave in the Kaya for you even if you show your goodwill”

They were all soldiers, and the beauty barrier could still be passed, and they wouldn’t let go because of this

Xu Man shrugged, “Expelling them is your responsibility I’m just more interested in the inner workings of the Kaya and want to go up and take a look Gaining their favor is just the first step”

“Don’t mess around!” Lu Yuanzheng glared at Xu Man, “You’re called a sheep in a tiger’s mouth! I won’t let you go into the tiger’s den all by yourself”

Even if Xu Man could really convince the officers and soldiers of the Kaya to let her into the cabin, it would definitely be just by herself

Even if they were killed, they wouldn’t let Lu Yuanzheng in

Letting the enemy’s chief officer into his own battleship? That would require a brain to get caught in the door

The most likely candidate was the deceptive-looking Xu Wen

Xu Wen had a sweet face and smiling eyes

She didn’t do anything, but even standing there would make people let their guard down and be willing to get close to her

What’s more, she took the initiative to show kindness

Even if they were enemies, they were still men who would definitely be slightly more forgiving towards a woman like Xu Wen

It wasn’t impossible to get her on board without involving principles

Seeing that Xu Wen didn’t relent, Lu Yuanzheng added, “You’re a mom now!”

“Been a mom for two years now, it’s not rare” Xu Wen bristled, Dongsheng was also their son, it was just the first time he got pregnant on his own

Lu Yuanzheng: “”

“Besides, it’s because you’re pregnant that you can’t wait for them to leave If they don’t leave, you’ll have to fight them most of the time I don’t think I’ll even be able to take a vacation to go back with me for New Year’s I don’t want to go to school by myself or come home by myself or go to the hospital to give birth by myself So I’ll just have to invite them home

No, you have to invite them home But before they go home, I have to collect some interest”

Lu Yuanzheng: “”

After a moment of silence, Lu Yuanzheng persuaded again, “Even if you take a step back, you can really get in the Kaya They won’t let you bring in cameras, pen and paper, or anything else that can record

The most you can do is to go in for a visit and take a look around How much can you memorize by just looking at such a behemoth? It won’t be of much use to our shipbuilding industry”

Xu Wen disagreed with this statement

“In the future, there will be a variety show It’s about a bunch of talented teenagers Each of these genius teens had their own skills, and one of them was quick memorization I was particularly enthralled by it and bought some books back to learn about quick memorization

In fact, it’s about taking what you see with your eyes and putting it into a picture in your head in the shortest possible time

For example, if you look at the Kaya, can you remember how many nails are on the outside of the ship and where each nail is located?

I can In my head, the Kaya is a piece of cake, and each nail is like a piece of fruit on the cake, and not only can I remember the number of nails, I can also remember the position of the nails

To exaggerate I’m what’s known as unforgettable”

Xu Wen had really learned the so-called “memory palace” memorization method, but only learned a little bit of the skin, away from unforgettable a little far

Her real card was the Magic Mirror

Recently, she has been dealing with the magic mirror every day because she has been researching 3d printing technology

Xu Wen disliked the magic mirror as a gold finger, only has the function of webpage search engine, or children’s version, too chicken rib!

The magic mirror’s self-esteem was hurt, and fought back, shaking his own skills with Xu Man to the bottom of the sky

One of the features was photo recognition

This technology is sure to be common in the future, whether it’s a search engine or a shopping app that has this feature

However, cameras were still a rarity in the seventies, big, bulky and expensive

It was big, bulky and particularly expensive And with film, it was a pain in the ass to develop photos

So Xu Wen still mocked Magic Mirror, “Comrade Magic Mirror, this is the late seventies, barely the early eighties, where am I going to take your picture? I can’t just carry that bulky camera and take your picture and then wash the film for you to recognize it, right? That wouldn’t be enough work”

Magic Mirror snapped and turned around, “Look carefully, I come with my own camera”

Xu Man took a closer look before realizing that there really was a camera behind the Magic Mirror

When Xu Man took a good look, the Magic Mirror turned around again, “I also have a front camera, it just doesn’t have as many pixels as the one behind it”

It usually hid the camera, which was why Xu Man couldn’t see it

“That means you can take pictures?” Xu Man came to be interested

The Magic Mirror nodded proudly, then shook its head slightly, not waiting for Xu Man to ask, but took the initiative to explain, “I can see everything you can see It can also save a certain frame as an image to recognize However, I’m not a camera, the images I save are in my body, you can look at them, you can’t print them, you can’t download them, in short, you can’t take them directly to reality”

Xu Man understood, his own eyes were the Magic Mirror’s camera, it was just a virtual camera

Xu Man touched his chin and thought about it, still disgusted: “This function still sounds very chicken ribs!”

Magic Mirror:””

The Magic Mirror was so angry that it jumped to its feet, blah blah blah with Xu Man counting all the favors he had done for her from the time he had appeared until now, and yet she still disliked himself for being a chicken ribs

Xu Man doesn’t care about it, it’s at least a camera

Since then, she had been planning to enter the Kaya

Naturally, she wouldn’t give up her plan just because Lu Yuanzheng was against it

However, she knew that she and Lu Yuanzheng were both stubborn people, so neither of them could convince the other, and only said, “Hurry up and go home! I’m sleepy”

Back home, Lu Yuanzheng blasted Xu Man to go to bed and rest, and went to help her deliver the raw materials that her sisters-in-law wanted one by one to each household

Xu Man didn’t argue with him, she was really sleepy, and her lower back was starting to hurt a lot

After squinting for a while and opening her eyes again, it was already nine o’clock in the evening

The room was dark

Xu Wen raised her hand and fumbled to pull the light on, seeing Dongsheng sitting cross-legged on the other half of the bed, looking at her with tears streaming down her face

She didn’t expect anyone to be in the room and was startled, then seeing Dongsheng’s tears, she frowned and sat up, softly asking him: ”What’s wrong? Why are you still dropping golden peas? Who bullied you? Why didn’t you turn on the light when you came in?”

Dongsheng huffed and puffed and answered, “Daddy Daddy said that you have a little sister in your belly and won’t let me quarrel with you”

Xu asked, “”

She asked less hopefully, “Is that what dad told you? Just this one sentence?”

Dongsheng nodded, “Uh-huh”

He hiccups from crying and has a big snot bubble coming out of his nostril

It was a bit comical

But Xu Wen couldn’t laugh, taking a handkerchief from the bedside table next to him and wiping Dongsheng’s face clean, patting the seat beside himself and signaling Dongsheng to sit over

Xu Man sighed softly, knowing that Lu Yuanzheng was particularly straight some of the time, he didn’t expect him to be this straight

If he told Dongsheng this, it would be strange if he could accept it!

Waiting for Dongsheng to sit down, Xu Man wrapped one arm around him and asked, “Can you tell me why you’re crying?”

“Whoops!” Dongsheng’s tears that had just stopped flowed down again, “Ma Ma, will you only like your sister and not me?”

“We’ve talked about this question many times oh! Whether it’s a little brother or sister in my belly, it’s not only my child but also your sibling

You are not losing your mom and dad but an extra family member”

“But but, I’m not the child you gave birth to”

“Then you are also my son ah!”

Dongsheng lowered his head and didn’t speak

Xu Wen had a bit of a headache, originally she was thinking of taking the time tomorrow to properly talk to Dongsheng about this matter

She didn’t expect Lu Yuanzheng to send her away with a single sentence

This isn’t called dismissal, it’s purely stirring up a hornet’s nest

Xu Wen guessed that Lu Yuanzheng is afraid that she is not good to speak, grabbed the words

Only straight male persuasion should not be

It is purely a favor

Xu Wen touched Dongsheng’s head, ”Dongsheng, there are some things I’ve said many times Maybe you can understand maybe you can’t But, remember, you will always be mom and dad’s child This will never change

As for after you have a little sister or a little brother Maybe I mean maybe, if daddy and I do anything wrong, make you feel that we favor little brother and sister and don’t love you Then you have to remember to tell us in time

Loved ones need to communicate too If you are aggrieved and don’t tell us, but mom and dad don’t notice it in time Then it is easy to form misunderstanding between us

Small misunderstandings can be lifted, but big misunderstandings will affect our relationship

So can you promise mama that if you are unhappy in the future, come and tell me directly, okay?”

Dongsheng seemed to understand, but could feel that Xu Wen seemed to treat him the same as usual, still so gentle and patient, nodded, “Good”

“Let’s pull the hook”

Dongsheng hesitantly stretched out his little tail finger and Xu Man’s finger to hook together

“Pull the hook and hang yourself for a hundred years and don’t change”

I don’t know if it was because of her physique, but Xu Man didn’t really feel that she was much different from her pre-pregnancy self

She could sleep a little more, her body temperature was a little higher, and her waistline and chest circumference were a little thicker When brushing her teeth in the morning and at night, she would occasionally dry-heave

I don’t like the smell of gasoline, but I don’t feel nauseous or vomit

Other than that, she doesn’t really feel like she’s pregnant

Often it is only when someone else reminds her that she is pregnant that she realizes she is pregnant

This “other people” usually refers to Lu Yuanzheng

For example, when Xu Wen’s chopsticks reached the plate, she was stopped by Lu Yuanzheng: “Crab is cold in nature, pregnant women can’t eat it”

When she opened the mini-fridge and brought out fruits, they were taken away by Lu Yuanzheng, “This is too cold, you can’t eat it I’ll go peel a dragon fruit for you again”

When Dongsheng pulls Xu Man to run, he is also stopped by Lu Yuanzheng, “Don’t run! What if you fall?”

Blah blah blah

Not to mention that Dongsheng would sometimes be unhappy, even Xu Man couldn’t be happy

Didn’t they say ten months for the queen?

She didn’t even have freedom, so how could she be treated as an empress?

Lu Yuanzheng sniffed, lifted his eyelids, and returned, “So you think that ancient queens were free?”

Xu asked, “”

If you think about it seriously, it doesn’t seem to be free

The Empress was subject to all sorts of constraints on her every word and action

Thinking this way, Xu Man became even more aggravated and let out a long sigh, “Not only are fairy tales lies! The proverb is also a lie These words must have come from a man’s mouth Sure enough, a man’s mouth lying ghost is the truth”

One day princess October queen lifetime nanny

This saying was something Xu Man had seen on the internet in his last life

He didn’t know where it came from, but he had always found it particularly realistic

The day a woman gets married is considered the most beautiful day of her life, wearing a gorgeous wedding dress, wearing the most beautiful makeup, being married home by her beloved Prince Charming in a luxury car

The eyes are filled with the light of excitement

Ten months of pregnancy, enjoy the treatment of the queen, clothing, food, housing and transportation are being served Despite the suffering during pregnancy, you are still looking forward to the future of your family of three

Imagine a happy and fulfilling life in the future and look forward to the day of unloading

When you give birth, the nightmare begins

Body out of shape, can not care about dress up, daily living in diapers and many sundries, burnt out

It just never occurred to me that the Empress was being served, but the people who served her might also be the ones who watched over her

Xu Wen moped, since she was pregnant, she was not allowed to do this or that

Originally not very happy Dongsheng, this moment can not care about jealousy, but also in turn to comfort Xu Man: “It’s okay, Ma Ma, I do not go out to play I accompany you”

“Still my son is good!” Xu Wen hugged Dongsheng, not forgetting to turn around and give Lu Yuanzheng a blank stare, “Unlike some men! Net pit wife!”

Lu Yuanzheng: “”

What could he say?

Xu asked to be beaten, to be scolded, to listen, let kneeling durian that or run

Dongsheng is still a kindergarten student, can not really accompany Xu Man at all times

The road expedition also has to work

Only left Xu asked a idle person who can not do anything

Luckily, the computer happened to arrive on Rainbow Island It was the most advanced computer in the world

Converted to the price in forty or fifty years, it was worth a house in a first-tier city

The computer was so valuable that it had to be placed in the battalion headquarters to be properly guarded Lu Yuanzheng specially arranged a room for it

Usually, Xu Man worked in this room

Xu Man was used to the thin LCD screen, and was still a bit uncomfortable with such a bulky and slow-running computer

Only two days later gradually find the feeling

3d printing technology, in addition to a printer that can print three-dimensional metal, the main thing is modeling

No model how to print

Xu Man is actually not very good at modeling, just more or less understand a little programming, or because the future of big data popular before learning

She followed the magic mirror to learn digital modeling while studying this computer, which was far from being familiar to her

The system alone was n generations behind, and while this computer was expensive, it was just too primitive for Xu Man

Xu Man couldn’t care less about the series of limitations brought about by her pregnancy, and buried her head in researching how to model on this computer

Fortunately, the computer is not their own to the rainbow island, but also with a professional computer students to help

This computer student was called Tan Changlin, one of the foreign students sent abroad

These days, those who can get a place to study abroad are not simple people
