Chapter 160

Life during the month of pregnancy is extremely boring

Xu Wen is fortunate, did not listen to Zhu Meizhen’s advice to stay in Pengcheng but followed the road expedition back to Rainbow Island

There is no other reason, there is a toilet in the wooden house, but Pengcheng double the yard does not, need to go to the public toilet

Zhu Meizhen meant that Xu Man would urinate and defecate in his room, and Zhu Meizhen would help him empty the bedpan

Originally, Xu Man does not like to bother people, and even more unable to accept this kind of thing to help, so resolutely back to the island

Zhu Meizhen was uneasy about her and came to Rainbow Island to take care of her

Lu Yuanzheng opened a cabin nearby for Zhu Meizhen

During the day, Zhu Meizhen takes care of Xu Man and her daughter, while Lu Yuanzheng takes care of them at night

After school, Dongsheng would also come to keep her company

In fact, Xu Man thinks Dongsheng likes Xia Chu more now

Dongsheng asked Xu Man and Lu Yuanzheng after her every day

“When will my sister grow up?”

“When can I take my sister out to play?”

“Auntie Liu gave me a delicious candy, can I share it with my sister?”

Every day n why, what he got were often answers he didn’t want to hear, Dongsheng was inevitably a little lost

Xu Wen had to comfort him, “Because little babies need time to grow up a little bit Just like you, you see you are six years old, is there still a lot of things you can’t do? But haven’t you made a lot of progress since last year?

Last year you couldn’t reach the stove, but this year you can reach it without stepping on the bench, right?

Xiao Xiachu is the same She needs time to grow up

She won’t roll over until she’s four months old, she’ll be able to sit at six months, crawl at eight months, and walk at one year

When she can walk, you’ll be able to take her out to play!”

Dongsheng thought for a while and sighed: “Raising a child is so troublesome!”

Xu Wen smiled, “You grew up the same way”

It’s just that the process of growing up is a bit heartbreaking

But fortunately, he didn’t remember anything when he was young

By the time he remembered, he had her by his side

Although not necessarily qualified, she really tried to be a good mom

Lu Yuanzheng pampered Xia Chu even more

Unfortunately, this is all he can do He’s still breastfeeding in a month’s time

What can a father do?

The most you can do is wash the diaper for his “little lover”

Of course, the little lover will not neglect the big lover

As a matter of fact, Lu Yuanzheng was even more attentive to Xu Wen than before

Fearing that she would be bored during the month, Lu Yuanzheng came back to chat with her whenever he could

At night, Xu asked only to sleep

Whenever Xiachu moved, Lu Yuanzheng would wake up

Fully responsible for changing little Xiachu’s diaper and washing her bottom

Sometimes, when Xu asks for a deep sleep, she doesn’t want to wake her up, so she feeds Xiao Xiachu a little bit of brewed milk powder

When Xu Wen was still clumsy and didn’t dare to touch Xiachu, Lu Yuanzheng was already very skillful at holding Xiachu in various positions

For example, holding her horizontally to put her to sleep and holding her vertically to burp her

Xu asked, “She’s so tiny, aren’t you scared?”

When she hugged Xiachu, she was afraid that she would accidentally break her arm, it was too thin!

When she sleeps, she subconsciously stays away from Xiachu for fear that she will be pressed

Lu Yuanzheng sighed softly, “How can you not be afraid?”

He opened his hand and gestured, feeling that he could lift Xiao Xiachu with one hand

In fact, he could, but he didn’t dare to

Not to mention the one-handed hold, at first, Lu Yuanzheng directly did not dare to touch Xiachu

His palms are coarse, and there are calluses on his fingers and palms, so he is afraid of hurting Xiachu

Later, in order to take care of Xiachu, he used a knife to cut off the callus on the edge of his palm

Once Xu Wen happened to see, heartbroken to stop

“The big deal is to hold her through the layers of cloth! You’re not so bad as to cut yourself, are you?” Xu Man held his hand

Lu Yuanzheng laughed softly and comforted her, “Don’t be afraid! It doesn’t hurt”

Xu Man didn’t believe it

“Really It’s not just for Xiao Xiachu We used to do this a lot in the past Over time, calluses that are too thick will affect sensitivity”

That’s why the thick calluses were often flattened with a small knife and then sandpapered flat

It might hurt a bit in the end, but it usually didn’t

It’s just that there are very few wars these days, and with his promotion to battalion commander, he rarely participates in daily training anymore, so he doesn’t deal with these calluses on his hands much anymore

Xu Wen looked at him half-heartedly

Lu Yuanzheng held her hand and took her fingertips and pressed down on his own calluses, “There’s no feeling when you pinch here”

Xu Wen regained control of her hand and pinched hard at the callus on his finger, while looking at him with unblinking eyes

It was as if Lu Yuanzheng truly felt no pain

Xu Wen was still uneasy, she stretched out her own greenish white hands, wanting to find a thin callus to experiment with

However, these hands are too well maintained, and the thin calluses that she had gotten earlier from the school’s suffering have already disappeared

Xu Wen was a bit indignant, grumbling, “This comparison makes me look like I’m lazy”

Lu Yuanzheng quickly stated, “How can that be? You are a brain worker, relying on your brain to eat Brown men like us can only contribute our strength”

These were all things he had learned from following Xu Man

Sometimes the two often interlocked their fingers when they were ear to ear

Her fingertips white, his hand skin color slightly darker, the contrast is too obvious, every time she is indignant

Sometimes she felt petulant, sometimes she excused herself

This what a brown man and a brainiac, is what Xu Wen said at that moment

Xu Man accepted his consolation, but was still skeptical about removing the callus without pain

The next day, Xu asked Zhu Meizhen to do the experiment

Zhu Meizhen has been working for many years and has calluses on her palms

Xu Man pinched her palm, “Mom, does it hurt?”

Zhu Meizhen gave her an odd look, “Should I say it hurts or not?”

Xu Man: “”

“Just be honest”

“It doesn’t hurt much The calluses are just worn out, and it definitely doesn’t hurt when you pinch on them But it hurts a little when you push so hard”

Xu asked, “”

So Lu Yuanzheng still lied to her

Not much pain doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt

At most, the top layer didn’t hurt

But, it didn’t help that she knew that Lu Yuanzheng had already finished dealing with the callus on his palm

Xu Wen could only touch her daughter’s tender and innocent little face, “I’m a little jealous of you!”

In addition to the endless care from the Xu family, the sisters-in-law on the island, who were on good terms with Xu Man, also came to see her

The schoolgirls would also come to see her

The area where the female students lived had now been replaced with wooden huts

This was thanks to the old saying of the ancestors, “Matching men and women does not make you tired”

Of the two groups of female students, there are about seven or eight pairs who are currently in a relationship

There were both officers and enlisted men

Xu Man proposed that if they were willing, they could hold a mass wedding on Rainbow Island, tentatively scheduled around the National Day

Xu Wang and Sang Xiaoqing would also follow the Rainbow Ship to Rainbow Island on weekends to see Xu Man

Although moonlighting was rather miserable, it didn’t seem to be that torturous

It was more like happiness

Xu Man felt especially content

Her family was in Pengcheng, an hour’s boat ride from the island

Her lover and children were with her

She didn’t have a lot of money in her hand, but it was more than enough for her daily life

If she was content with the status quo, Xu Wen thought it would be nice to live like this forever

There is a saying that one should always be happy with what one has

But contentment does not mean standing still, the eighties is the era of rapid economic development of the country, stagnation will be abandoned by the times

Besides, Rainbow Island has just barely solved the problem of survival, the next step is to consider the problem of development

Lu Yuanzheng and Shi Lei are handing over work to Shi Lei

It was his turn to take a vacation during the summer vacation in July

The affairs of the island are back on Lu Yuanzheng’s shoulders

Lu Yuanzheng participated in the international competition to establish the individual second-class merit medal did not have time to go to receive, every day busy as a dog

Xu Wen has been giving him advice in his spare time

Of course, it was limited to the economic development of the island

“Regarding the development of Rainbow Island, what policies do you have on your side?”

Lu Yuanzheng pinched his brow and shook his head, “Even the islanders don’t have any policies What the higher-ups mean is to make the island popular first before talking about policies Anyway, the next few years will definitely be militarized management here”

“Militarized management for the people?”

“Right But it’s not what you think Let’s say in our county, apart from sudden wars, the vast majority of everyday things are managed by the administration For example, the economy, people’s livelihood, industry, and agriculture have nothing to do with the troops

In Rainbow Island even though there is a town and a county here, it is still the military that is in charge of most of the day-to-day administrative things, including but not limited to the ones I just mentioned”

Xu Man nodded, “It actually has nothing to do with the common people, right? They still live how they should At most, there used to be a county eunuch in charge, but now there’s an officer master in charge”

Lu Yuanzheng: “”

I can’t say it’s wrong, but it just sounds a little weird

It wasn’t the first time Xu Wen had said something strange, so Lu Yuanzheng just thought he wasn’t used to it

Besides, he didn’t have the heart to think so carefully

Shi Lei is on vacation, he has to take care of the military and politics

Unlike the company that Xu Man once interned at, Lu Yuanzheng’s yearly and monthly plans are real plans

Whether they are students or part-time workers, many people have written plans and have heard their bosses or departmental experiences plan the content of their work for a whole year next year

Most of the work content related to the plan, the implementation of which is often greatly reduced

With girls shouting next year I want to lose thirty pounds, next month I want to lose weight without dinner

It’s hard to do it when you’re shouting

But Lu Yuanzheng they are not the same

Militarized management is really not a joke, not to mention the military training kind of painless

Once the plan they listed on New Year’s Day is passed, or once the plan issued is in hand, it will be implemented without fail

Say a year to lose weight for thirty years will not lose twenty-nine pounds and nine amounts

Of course they lose weight

These plans often include military training, maneuvers, island building, veteran discharges, new recruits, and so on Even the number of vacations and how many individuals can go out per shift every weekend are listed

Then it was implemented without fail

These plans, Xu Wen is certainly invisible, but as a pillow, Lu Yuanzheng again confidentiality a lot of things she also guessed some

Other military wives are also the same, living together, which can not hide everything

However, what they generally know is not too confidential

Like the martial arts competition, Xu Wen knew when Lu Yuanzheng would leave and when he would arrive home

All of this would be reported in the newspaper

Even if the newspaper would publicize the content of their competition and the ranking of each country, Xu would not know

Lu Yuanzheng said that unless it was a national newspaper, other newspapers would not be able to follow up on the reports

During the period of the competition, they were not allowed to have any personal contact with the outside world

Also like this year’s tournament was an accident in Lu Yuanzheng’s plan for them

Last year, at the very least, Lu Yuanzheng didn’t make up his mind whether or not to participate when he returned home on vacation, or else it wouldn’t have been as sudden as the set training

Lu Yuanzheng also completed the promise to their mother and daughter, really took a first place back as a meet-and-greet gift to Xiachu

Individual first place in the Single Soldier Comprehensive Ability

It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s the number one in the world in single soldier combat

This is much more significant than Xu asking to earn twenty thousand dollars

For Xu Man to earn twenty thousand dollars, one, he was using the Magic Mirror to cheat, and two, twenty thousand dollars could at most improve his and his family’s lives

Lu Yuanzheng their first is different

This means that our military quality, too, has a voice in the world

So many special forces within the competition, Lu Yuanzheng got the first, is to fight for the country’s glory, is to the world to declare our strong

It’s a pity that the Lu Yuanzheng warrior who became famous in the world in one battle, the first thing he did when he returned to Rainbow Island was to change his daughter’s diaper

Thinking of changing diapers, Xu Man frowned and pointed down at Xia Chu, “Your little lover seems to have pooped again”

Lu Yuanzheng: “”

He moves nimbly to lift up the small clothes covering Xia Chu’s stomach, lifting the two small feet with his big hand, the other hand nimbly changes the soiled diaper, wipes little Xia Chu’s butt clean with the prepared warm water, then wipes the butt clean with a soft cloth, changes to a new diaper, and then skillfully walks away with the soiled diaper in his hands

This was something Xu Wen sighed to herself

She had given birth to her daughter, and she could change diapers, but wiping poop would repel her, and she often dry-heaved

She didn’t want to, but she just couldn’t control her physiological reaction

Every time this happened, Xu Wen was incredibly grateful, “Luckily, at the time of mothering Dongsheng, he was already able to take care of himself”

At that time, Dongsheng was still unable to wear complicated clothes, but going to the toilet by himself was no problem

What could Lu Yuanzheng say?

Xu Wen had already suffered for ten months and she couldn’t stand it, so it was fine for him to do it

After he washed and dried the diapers and went back to the bedroom, Xu Man sat down in front of the writing desk and lowered her head to write

Lu Yuanzheng patted her on the shoulder, ”Go back to bed and lie down Pregnant women can’t use their eyes like this, it will hurt them”

Xu Man was unwilling, “How is it so delicate? Just write a little bit”

It turns out that excessive leisure can drive people crazy

Xu Man wanted to work

Lu Yuanzheng didn’t argue with her and directly bent down to pick her up and put her back on the bed

Xu Man was so angry that she bit him

Lu Yuanzheng tensed up and didn’t give her a bite, “Teeth won’t work either! If you use too much force, you’ll suffer from aftereffects You can bite again after the month”

Xu Man: “”

She wasn’t a dog!

Speaking of which, the fact that Lu Yuanzheng is so careful is all thanks to the three women in the Xu family

Sang Xiaoqing and Xu Wang both shared before Xu Man was discharged from the hospital that they had fallen victim to various illnesses because they didn’t listen to the elderly during the month

For example, Sang Xiaoqing didn’t listen to Zhu Meizhen and didn’t sleep with her socks wrapped all the time, which resulted in her heels falling ill and cracking and hurting

Xu Wang gave birth to Yuanbao is summer, she felt the room is not clean especially difficult, in fact, is also bored, so take the broom stooped to sweep the floor, since then fell into the back pain problem

Zhu Meizhen had more experiences like this

For example, she ate beef dumplings that were not easy to digest during her monthly period, and then she got a toothache when she chewed something

I leaned against the wall during the month and didn’t feel it at the time, but when it got cold, the cold air only came out of my shoulders

Waiting for

She gave birth to Xu Wang Xu Wen siblings four people, fell into a different monthly illness

Xu Wen only felt the great love of motherhood at that time, Lu Yuanzheng put the three people’s valuable experience and advice all in the heart

During the day, Zhu Meizhen was in charge of Xu Man, and at night, Lu Yuanzheng was in charge of her, always saying that she was not allowed to do this or that

Xu Man, who was carried to bed, beamed with a reluctant face, “I’m in the moonlight, not in jail”

She knows it’s all for her own good, but being locked in a room for half a month without going out, doing nothing all day, is actually very difficult

For a while, she couldn’t help but be a bit unhappy

Lu Yuanzheng looked at the reports and summaries that he still had to write on the writing desk, then looked at the aggrieved Xu Man, hesitated or sat on the edge of the bed, “Bored? Then let’s chat for a while?”

The work waited for her to go to sleep, he worked overtime to do it

“Chat about what?”

“Anything, chat about life, chat about ideals, chat about how much I miss you abroad?” Lu Yuanzheng glanced toward his daughter’s ration, “Or talk about how long before we can share a room?”

“You’re thinking beautifully!” Xu Wen lifted her chin, signaling the location of the writing desk, “Who wants to talk about life with you? I only want to talk to you about work!”

She suddenly had an idea to kill several birds with one stone
