Chapter 147

Most of the girls had done farm work at home, but only a few of them knew how to set up tents

It was getting dark, but none of the twenty girls had set up a tent

Xu Man held his waist and accompanied them, checking his watch from time to time

Her belly wasn’t obviously protruding, but Xu Man’s back pain was getting worse and worse

When she stood or sat for a while, the pain started from her waist and then spread to her back

The pain made it difficult for her to sit still

If it wasn’t for the fact that she knew these girls were new to the country and would be scared and nervous and needed to be calmed down, she would have gone home to lie down long ago

Song Baoying came over after class to keep her company

Seeing that the girls were unable to set up their tents, Song Baoying frowned and discussed with Xu Man, “Why don’t I ask some of my sisters-in-law to help?”

Most of the sisters-in-law knew how to put up a tent

Xu Man looked at his watch and shook his head, “There’s no hurry They should be here soon”

Song Boying wondered, “They? Who?”

Xu Man lifted his chin in the direction of the battalion headquarters, “Coming!”

Song Boying followed and looked over

Only to see a patch of blue and white rapidly moving in this direction

They were all officers and soldiers from the island

Song Boying: “”

She asked Xu Qian, “Did you tell them to come? Or did your family, Lu Yuanzheng, order them to come”

Although Xu Wen’s face showed fatigue, the corners of his mouth rose as he shook his head, “Neither They should have come on their own”

Song Boying understood after a brief thought, shaking his head and losing his smile, “It’s good to be young!” He glanced at Xu Man again, “You! You’ve got a lot of ideas!”

Xu Wen blinked with an innocent expression, “I don’t understand what you’re saying I just want to share my learning experience with you”

Song Bo Ying didn’t answer this, and only asked Xu Man, “Do you think they’ve had enough to eat?”

This should be the right time to eat, right?

Rushing over at this speed, tsk!

“They have a rule against wasting food I think they’re definitely full, but I don’t know if they’re choking”

While the two were talking, the young officers and soldiers had already arrived

Each one of them had a reddish color, not knowing if they were ashamed or choked from eating too quickly

“Sister-in-law, I heard that these students can’t afford to set up a tent, so Camp Lu asked us to come over and help” A baby-faced man, revealing a small tiger tooth, bared his teeth and smiled at Xu Wen

The others nodded in agreement, their faces full of anticipation and excitement

Song Baoying teased them, “Coming to help with the work is still so positive! Each and every one of them has a really high ideological awareness!”

Doll face giggled twice as he rubbed the back of his head, his eyes already glancing towards the girl

Xu Wen smiled back, “Then I’ll thank you on behalf of the girls”

As soon as her words fell, the lads hollered and all surged over

“I dare say that this was definitely not ordered by your family’s Lu Yuanzheng” Song Boying had a certainty on her face

“How do you know?”

“I happened to run into Lu Yuanzheng when I was there, he asked me to bring you a message, saying that he had an urgent matter to go to the center island and would be back in a while I forgot about it, and I only remembered when they mentioned Lu Yuanzheng just now”

Xu asked, “”

If you had remembered a little later, Lu Yuanzheng should have returned

“Alright! Look at you with a hard face You quickly go back and rest! I’ll keep an eye here”

“Thank you, sister-in-law!” Xu Man was not polite this time With Song Baoying keeping an eye on things here, and those officers and soldiers helping out, there wouldn’t be any problems with Kenkai

It wasn’t that she was cruel and deliberately tortured the girls

Xu Wen was sincerely trying to help them improve their grades, but she was also genuinely trying to solve personal problems for the soldiers and officers on the island

They were all girls in their early twenties, suddenly coming to an unfamiliar island with no formal accommodation, and even having to pitch their own tents

The heart must be aggrieved and afraid, but can not go

At this time, suddenly appeared the soldier brothers, hands and feet neatly put up the tent, even if nothing is said, will be like heavenly hero, harvest a wave of goodwill

This was Xu Wen’s purpose

Of course, Xu Man was at best a moon lord, and whether or not he could pull the red thread together depended on their destiny

“Let’s be polite! You’ve done a great job of keeping this secret! If it wasn’t for Old Shi’s slip of the tongue, I wouldn’t have known you were pregnant It’s so far away from home, and it’s your first time being a mom, so if there’s anything you don’t understand, come ask me”

Xu Wen responded in a loud voice, and was urged by Song Baoying to walk back

When Xu Wen arrived home, Lu Yuanzheng had indeed returned

He was holding his jacket in his hand, looking like he was about to go out

“Are you still going out?”

Lu Yuanzheng stopped in his tracks, looked up at her, casually hung his jacket on the hanger again, and came over to help Xu Man, “No I just saw that you weren’t home and wanted to go out Just saw that you weren’t home and wanted to go look for you”

People have returned, why would he still go out!

Seeing Xu Man’s face look bad, Lu Yuanzheng simply bent down and picked her up, “Did you have a bad backache again?”

Xu Man nodded and wrapped her arms around Lu Yuanzheng’s neck and complained, “Well, my back is hurting”

Xu Man wouldn’t pretend to be strong, she felt it was time to show her weakness

Otherwise, how would Lu Yuanzheng know that her pregnancy was so painful?

“Go upstairs first and rest for a while! When he/she is born, I’ll educate him/her on how he/she made you work so hard!”

Xu Wen was amused and made it difficult for him, “What if it’s really a daughter? Are you willing to teach a girl a lesson too?”

Lu Yuanzheng: “”

Hesitation

Xu Man was immediately unhappy, accusing him, “See, you’re wavering! You still favor your little lover more!”

Lu Yuanzheng immediately took a stance, “There’s no such thing! You’re my only dongsheng?”

At the corner of the stairs stood Dongsheng who should have just woken up from his nap and descended the stairs

Dongsheng looked at Xu Man in Lu Yuanzheng’s arms, “Ma Ma, are you going to have a little sister?”

Xu Man shook her head, “It’s still early!”

She patted down Lu Yuanzheng’s arm, signaling him to put himself down

Lu Yuanzheng pursed his lips and placed Xu Man firmly on the ground

Xu Man couldn’t care less about the pain in her back and squatted in front of Dongsheng, “When did you come back? Have you eaten?”

Usually at this time, Dongsheng was dawdling at Doudou’s house

It was rare to see him at home

As the common saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be a demon

Dongsheng shook his head, “I was a little cold and a little sleepy so I came back to bed Now I’m a little hungry and want to come down to look for food”

As if to prove that he wasn’t lying, his small stomach particularly cooperated with a series of grunts

The light in this corner was a bit dim, Xu Wen didn’t see Dongsheng’s face clearly, and after listening to his words, he frowned and cupped Dongsheng’s small face with both hands

Lu Yuanzheng also moved nimbly to take out a flashlight and turn it on

Dongsheng’s little face was abnormally red, Xu Man raised his hand and touched his own forehead, then touched Dongsheng’s forehead and frowned: “Bad! The child has a fever!”

“Go upstairs and rest yourself, I’ll take him to the infirmary” Lu Yuanzheng said, squatted down with his back to Dongsheng and patted his back, “Come up”

Dongsheng obediently climbed onto Lu Yuanzheng’s back, but his eyes looked towards Xu Man, opened his mouth, and said nothing

Seeing this, Xu Wen said to Dongsheng, “You go with dad first, I’ll follow you later”

She was in no mood to rest, her heart full of self-blame

Dongsheng was still fine when she left the house after her afternoon nap

In the evening, I was busy giving these girls a welcome home and didn’t care about Dongsheng, but I didn’t realize that he suddenly had a fever

The point is, the child has a fever, they as parents even do not know

This is the most guilty Xu asked

Recently, there are too many things, and three-dimensional printers and drawings of battleships and busy picking up “students”, but also have to cope with the discomfort caused by the pregnancy, it is inevitable to Dongsheng a little negligent

Lu Yuanzheng has already carried Dongsheng hurriedly out, Xu Wen found Dongsheng’s water cup, blended a cup of warm water, went out to catch up with them

Lu Yuanzheng was already walking fast, and Xu Man definitely couldn’t catch up if she didn’t run

She was in the early stages of pregnancy and didn’t dare to run, so she could only follow with an anxious face

After a while, Dongsheng turned around and saw Xu Wen froze, her eyes showed joy, and she patted Lu Yuanzheng’s shoulder twice, shouting, “Ma Ma! Ma Ma!”

Lu Yuanzheng stopped walking, turned around and saw Xu Man, frowning: “You’re not suffering from back pain? Go back and rest! I’m here”

Xu Wen shook her head, “I can’t sleep at home when Dongsheng is like this Stop talking and go see the doctor first!”

Dongsheng’s fever should have started at the end of the school day, and his temperature is just over thirty-eight degrees at this moment

The military doctor prescribed some medication and suggested that Dongsheng take the medication and observe for a while, and then come over for an infusion if his temperature didn’t return to rise

Xu Man and Lu Yuanzheng were relieved

Especially Xu Man

This was the second time she had seen Dongsheng sick

At Dongsheng’s age, being sick once a year was already considered a relatively good physical condition

However, Xu Wen was still panicked

Maybe it’s because she received a critical notice for the first time in her life as a mom, leaving a shadow behind

After the family of three returned home, Lu Yuanzheng put Dongsheng back on the crib and went downstairs to make congee for Dongsheng

Xu Man poured a small half cup of water, put the medicine in the water to melt it off, and handed it to Dongsheng, “Eat the medicine first”

Dongsheng licked his dry and cracked lips, took the medicine and asked, “Ma Ma, can I sleep with you tonight?”

Xu Wen nodded, “Good However, I may not be able to hold you now, do you still have the strength to walk on your own?”

Without saying a word, Dongsheng drank the medicine from the cup in one gulp, wiped his mouth and slipped out of bed, running upside down into Xu Man and Lu Yuanzheng’s room

Xu Man followed him into the door

She lay down beside Dongsheng, covered him with the quilt, hugged him, and asked, “Still cold?”

Dongsheng shook his head, his face buried in Xu Man’s side

Xu Man saw his shoulders shrug and thought he was uncomfortable, and just as she was about to speak, she felt a bit of wetness at her ribs

She stiffened for a moment, patting Dongsheng’s back lightly to soothe him while speaking, “I’m sorry! It’s mom and dad’s negligence, not taking good care of you! Letting you stay home alone when you had a fever!”

Dongsheng cried out with a wow

Xu Wen hugged him, patting him on the back while softly coaxing

Dongsheng cried for a while before calming down and sitting up, his eyes red like a small rabbit, huffing, “I thought you didn’t like me anymore!”

“How could you think that?” Xu Wen jerked him on the back of his head

Dongsheng bristled, “You don’t even tell me stories now! Nor do you bathe with me I can’t even see you except for meals Thought you just wanted the little baby in your belly and didn’t want me!”

Xu asked, “”

“I don’t bathe with you because you’re almost six years old, you’re a big boy now you can’t let girls see you without clothes Mom is a girl of course she can’t bathe with you anymore, we’ve talked about this before right? It has nothing to do with having a little sister or not, and it’s not that mommy doesn’t like you, it’s simply because you’re a boy and I’m a girl”

Toshio nodded thoughtfully

“As for the storytelling and less company, I apologize I’ve been a bit busy lately Getting a printer, painting, entertaining the new big sisters or aunts on the island, you don’t quite understand all that but you know what I’ve been up to right? It’s my fault for neglecting you! From tomorrow onwards, I will strive to tell you stories every day Try to spend as much time with you as possible!”

After hearing this, Dongsheng knew that he was wrong and shook his head, “Then I apologize to Ma Ma as well”

“Why?”

Dongsheng hung his head, both hands twisting the hem of his clothes uneasily, “I got sick on purpose, I’m sorry”

Xu Wen didn’t react for a moment, “What do you mean by getting sick on purpose? There’s such a thing as getting sick on purpose?”

“I took a cold shower last night”

Xu Man frowned, with the temperature of Rainbow Island, even if he took a cold shower, it wouldn’t be enough to freeze and get a fever

Dongsheng continued, “I added a lot of ice cubes to the large basin and laid in”

Xu asked, “”

No wonder there was suddenly a lot less ice in the house, Xu Man thought that Lu Yuanzheng had taken it away

“Why did you do that?” Xu Man wondered

Dongsheng stopped talking and hung his head

Xu Man was a little angry, and a little reluctant to be angry

“If you don’t tell me, I won’t forgive you!” Xu Man was still ruthless, threatening him

This time it was just a frozen cold, what about next time? Would he get a self-inflicted injury out of it?

Xu Man didn’t like this kind of behavior of trashing his own body when he didn’t feel pain in his heart

“Dongsheng, I’ve told you many times! We are a family, we are relatives Even if I have another child, no matter if it’s a boy or a girl it’s still your kin, your brother and sister I admit that I’m the one who’s been bad lately, but it has nothing to do with the baby in my belly You can’t make yourself sick when you’re upset! That’s not right, and it’s not the way to solve the problem!” Xu Wen’s tone was a bit harsh

“It’s not because of unhappiness” Dongsheng whispered, “I just want you to hug me and coax me like you’re doing now”

Xu Wen: “”

His eyes soured

Dongsheng still didn’t feel secure enough, which was why he was so afflicted

Xu Wen reclined, signaling Dongsheng to lie on her arm

She wrapped her arms around Dongsheng and softly talked to him about many, many things

Telling him what loved ones were

“Just like me and your grandma and grandpa Do you see that we won’t see each other for a long time too? But we won’t be rusty when we see each other again right?”

Dongsheng thought about it and nodded

Obviously it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, grandma will still be especially close to Ma Ma when she sees her

“Then you see, I’m siblings with your Uncle Xu Che, Uncle Xu Wen and Great Aunt Xu Wang Just like you and the baby in my belly Do you think grandma doesn’t like me because of Uncle Hsu-Che? Or because I don’t like Uncle Xu Wen anymore?”

This time Dongsheng thought about it for longer and finally shook his head firmly, “No”

Grandma still liked Ma-Ma, she just treated her mom better than her two uncles sometimes

“Right! Occasionally grandma will treat me a little bit better than your Uncle Xu Wen looks That’s because I’m a girl not because Grandma doesn’t like Uncle Xu Wen anymore I’ll be the same in the future If the baby in my tummy is a boy, you will be the equivalent of Uncle Xu Wen and the little baby will be Uncle Xiao Che I love you both, but because you’re different ages, I’ll demand different things from you It will definitely be tougher on the older children”

Dongsheng listened attentively

Xu Man took the Xu family as an example and made it clear to him little by little that there would be quarrels between siblings but there was more love Parents may occasionally be biased, but the palm of one’s hand is all meat

This time, Dongsheng really felt that he could accept the little brother or sister in his stomach

Lu Yuanzheng pushed the door in with the porridge that had cooled to lukewarm and handed the bowl to Dongsheng

Dongsheng hugged the bowl and gulped it down

When he finished drinking, Lu Yuanzheng took over the bowl, Xu Wen touched Dongsheng’s forehead, the medicine took effect, Dongsheng’s body temperature seems to be less hot

Seeing that Dongsheng was still a bit wan, Xu Wen took him by the arm, “Go to sleep! I’ll read you a story”

Early in the morning Xu Man sent Dongsheng, whose fever had subsided, to the kindergarten, stopping by to see the girls who had just arrived on the island

When he arrived, he tsked

There was a feeling of a flat earth

The barren grass was gone, and army-green tents were neatly propped up on the ground, and it was obvious at a glance whose work it was

A black cable picked up from far away

It so happened that someone came out of one of the tents, and a coolness leapt out as soon as he lifted the flap

Xu Wen raised an eyebrow, the feeling was a bit familiar

Like when she first came to Rainbow Island

“Good morning, Teacher Xu” The girl who carried a basin out to pour water froze and greeted Xu first
