Chapter 161

Lu Yuanzheng: “”
He cried and laughed, opening his hand and lightly rubbing a hand on the top of Xu Man’s head, “You! Can’t you just settle down and get your monthly period done?”
Always thinking about work
Actually, work was for others, but for Xu Man, she was playing
If she thought it was fun, she would do it, even if what she did was hard work or meaningless in the eyes of others
For example, she invented a bunch of beach toys, including but not limited to houseboats
But his daughter-in-law, too, had her faults She didn’t have much of a sense of humor, and she was like a bear breaking a stick
She’s a bear with a stick She’s always thinking out of the box, and she’s usually in charge of the beginning and not the end
Wind power she got first, after the scientific research group on the island, now has the power sector
Electric car is also her tinkering, now her car broke down is also sent to the battalion to repair, they will not do it
Business she wanted to do, after the capital and ideas, the work is a brother, uncle, sister-in-laws
She made the 3d printer, and Luo Zemin is now responsible for developing and improving it
The computers she wanted, after completing the mission of blasting away the Kaya, they were left in the battalion office to collect dust, and had to be cleaned every day
Even those sea and beach games like surfing were taught by Xu Man, but she should be the one who participated the least in the whole island
She also started the literacy classes, although the children had a school, but the literacy classes for the soldiers were now rotated among the schoolgirls who came to the island to study with her
It wasn’t really Hsu’s fault
Because the earliest their troops inside is a literacy class, just everyone is too boring always learn not into, think Xu asked to talk about interesting before willing to learn, a little bit into the door after the replacement of like to learn with her Wang Ying
Wang Ying, although not as good as Xu asked to speak, more or less, there is so much meaning, and then we also know some words will be a little introductory things, learning is not so difficult to be willing to follow the learning
Later on, there was a school, the soldiers are not good to go to school, can only be honest in the battalion on the culture class
As a result, Xu Man recruited some single female comrades to go to the island, so there was one more literacy class
Now most of the soldiers attending the literacy class are single young soldiers
Even when they hatch a chicken on a whim, Xu Che and Dongsheng are the ones responsible for raising the chickens
Unlike a bear who breaks a stick, a bear is a bit of a loser and throws away unwanted sticks, but Xu Man doesn’t throw them away, so she usually gives them away
Xu Man has done these things, but where she sinks her teeth into one of them to the present, her name will certainly appear frequently on the front page of the newspaper
Of course, Lu Yuanzheng is not to dislike her, he likes her this kind of good sound is easy to be satisfied, to say the hard sound is the nature of the chest is not ambitious
What’s more, she even “breaks the stick” for him
However, recently, Lu Yuanzheng is really too busy, I’m afraid that there is no time to catch the stick thrown by Xu asked
Besides, he wanted her to simply take a good rest
Xu Wen raised her mouth and snapped the pot unhappily: “Lu Yuanzheng, do you not love me anymore? Do you dislike the fact that I’m ugly now? Out of shape?”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
“How could it be? Don’t think blindly I’m just afraid that you’re tired”
“Then why are you not even willing to listen to me now? You vetoed me before I even said anything?”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
What else could Lu Yuanzheng say?
He could only listen
And listen very attentively
Although he knew that Xu Wen was deliberately teasing him, Lu Yuanzheng still didn’t want to make her half unhappy
After all, she was still in labor
“In Pengcheng, there is now a special neighborhood The buildings in this neighborhood aren’t divided into units, but are commercial houses It’s that you have to pay for it if you want this house”
Lu Yuanzheng listened quietly, he knew about the commercial housing, Xu Wen told him about the future, the most talked about was the house
The only thing he wondered was, “You mean, there are commercial houses now?”
Xu Man nodded and shook his head, “Yes and no This neighborhood is special, the houses are sold to the people in accordance with commercial housing, however, the land on which the houses are built is not the property right of the head of the household, the land is still owned by the state”
“That’s for sure It’s against the law to buy and sell land now” This was something that Lu Yuanzheng still knew
“Right That’s why this neighborhood is special The way it was generated is considered ‘compensation trade’ You also know that Pengcheng just became an independent city last year, and it used to be a small fishing village The village didn’t care about housing distribution, but the city’s cadres and the employees who eat public food needed it
The city needs to build a few hundred welfare housing units and needs three million dollars, but the higher-ups only approved five hundred thousand dollars It’s obviously impossible to do three million dollars with half a million dollars”
The shortfall was not normally large
The leader in charge of this was so worried that his head got big, and was finally forced to come up with a solution that wasn’t a solution, that is, cooperative housing
At that time, when Pengcheng harbor was built, the biggest part of the investors attracted were Hong Kong businessmen, and at that time, the houses over there were already very expensive
This bold and courageous leader talked to a Hong Kong business leader about cooperation
Pengcheng offered the land, and the Hong Kong businessman offered the money
“If I remember correctly, the first phase of that house is now sold out”
Lu Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows in surprise, “Pengcheng downtown isn’t big, there are quite a few houses under construction, but I haven’t seen any new residential neighborhoods”
“Because it was sold out before it was built”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
“It’s called pre-sale The house price is around eight hundred a square foot, half cheaper than the local area The house size is around fifty or sixty square feet a set A typical set of house is around fifty thousand, which is too cheap for the people across from Pengcheng And Pengcheng also gives a lot of extra benefits For example, if you buy a house, you will be given a household registration, priority allocation of work, etc That’s why the first phase sold out directly over in Xiangjiang”
Lu Yuanzheng hissed, “Fifty thousand dollars for a house, and you still need to rob it?”
“It’s about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars when converted to Hong Kong dollars”
Lu Yuanzheng tsked, and after a moment of silence, he asked Xu Qi, “What does this have to do with us? Recruiting Hong Kong businessmen to open up land and build buildings for us?”
Even if Lu Yuanzheng doesn’t have a problem with it, and can successfully apply for the so-called “compensation trade”, it has to be the developer’s willingness
They are building houses in Pengcheng, close to their homes and have jobs
What are you doing on Rainbow Island? Buying a house and fishing?
It seems a bit unrealistic
“I haven’t finished yet! Don’t you keep interrupting” Xu Wen glared at Lu Yuanzheng petulantly and continued, “As far as I remember, this neighborhood was occupied from eighty-one to eighty-four, and it was all completed by eighty-four It was agreed at the time of cooperation that the developer would only collect fifteen percent of the profit, and give the rest to Pengcheng By the end of the project, Pengcheng was credited with five million dollars, the perfect solution to the problem of funding the building of welfare housing”
Lu Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows, this was a very tempting figure, so he couldn’t help but be moved
But, also as he said, Rainbow Island didn’t have the capital to make the developers’ hearts flutter, so how could they cooperate?
However, since Xu Man opened his mouth
Lu Yuanzheng corrected his attitude this time, sitting behind Xu Man, rubbing her shoulders, “Daughter-in-law, what do you have in mind?”
Xu Man: “”
In the face of enough temptation, being rigid and upright about anything was a lie
“Not much of an idea, just telling you a story”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
“Good daughter-in-law, you’ll just give my husband some pointers?”
It’s not that Lu Yuanzheng is money-minded, but as Xu asked, this year is a bit special
The country’s groping on the economic road also involved them
In April, the above issued a financial documents, so that the military industry departments “fixed amount of contributions, excess retained”
What does it mean?
That is, the unit’s profits, in accordance with the provisions of the payment, if there is an excess of their own to stay
With the land package production to the household, family production responsibility system is a little similar
People’s Ministry of Industry is fine, they are the army below these large and small units, the vast majority of them are spenders, or have to spend a lot of money, where to go to make a profit?
Although the pressure is not yet on the islands, after all, the islands are still in the construction phase, only spend money not to make money But like Xu Man said, there is always a need to save for a rainy day
Xu Man winked, “Isn’t this a hint for you? Attracting investment ah!”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
Lu Yuanzheng gave a short heckle, “Comrade Xu Man, you should be thankful that you’re on a monthly cycle right now, or else you’ll see how I’ll clean you up”
Wasn’t this teasing him?
Xu Wen giggled, very pleased with herself, “Who told you not to chat with me just now”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
Shaking his head, “Women na!”
He placed the pillow and gestured for Xu Man to lie down, “You go to sleep quickly! Little Xiachu is going to wake up again in a while”
Since giving birth, Xu Man didn’t have any time for himself at all
He even wanted to rename his daughter Little Alarm Clock
She woke up almost every two hours, day or night
When he woke up, it was all about eating, drinking, and pooping
Xu Wen never slept a full night again
To be exact, she hasn’t been able to get a full night’s sleep since the second trimester
Xu asked some sleepy, yawning obediently lie down, “not to tease you, but really can consider the compensation trade The big thing is not to do real estate first Rainbow Island is surrounded by a large area of shallow sea that can be fished There’s also land on the island that can be farmed If people attract developers to invest, we can attract fishermen! Fishermen who come here to fish can be given preferential policies, such as settling down and land allocation They only need to pay a percentage of their profits after fishing Or, simply consider it an employment relationship You guys pay the wages and they do the work “
Xu Man’s voice lowered the more he spoke, “I’m not lying to you, it really is a one-two punch”
One was to add revenue to Rainbow Island One is to add population to Rainbow Island Three is to add labor for Rainbow Island
The point was to pave the way for Rainbow Island’s development and construction afterwards
Lu Yuanzheng still wanted to pursue the matter, but Xu Wen had already fallen asleep
He pulled over the sheet to cover her up, and touched Xia Chu’s diaper, which was still dry, before getting out of bed to get back to work
Xu Man’s proposal repeatedly crossed his mind
After thinking about it, Lu Yuanzheng put down the work in his hands, took two sheets of blank letter paper and started writing a letter
On the day of the summer solstice, Xu Man happened to be out of her month
The first thing she did was to take a nice bath
The first thing she did was to take a nice bath The full moon wine of Xiachu was scheduled for the weekend
Originally, according to Xu Man’s nature is not willing to make a big fuss, not for any other reason, too troublesome
It’s too much trouble to usher in and entertain guests
However, during her monthly period, most of the sisters-in-law on the island came to her house to see her and Xiachu, and every one of them did not come empty-handed, and the gifts, no matter how expensive or lowly, were people’s intentions
Not only the sisters-in-law, but also the warriors on Rainbow Island all asked their sisters-in-law to send their congratulatory gifts
After all, Lu Yuanzheng’s position was here
What everyone sent were small gifts that represented their feelings, far enough to not be bribed, and not good enough to refuse
Because some of them are handmade
Received the gift of course have to thank
Xu Man’s family certainly does not have such a large place for guests, as usual, want to scourge the beach
Saturday night, Xu family people followed the rainbow ship on the island, brought a lot of ingredients chicken, duck, fish, meat, fruits and vegetables, etc for tomorrow’s summer early full moon feast preparation
This time, it was a family banquet, a private matter, so it was not good to trouble the cooking class again
Early Sunday morning, the Xu family three women began to busy choosing vegetables and washing vegetables, the men are responsible for killing pigs and slaughtering sheep and fading chicken feathers
After breakfast, the sisters-in-law who didn’t have anything to do and the female students brought by Xu Man also came to help
If they hadn’t waited for this day, these female students would have left the island a long time ago
It was almost time for the college entrance exams and they needed to go home
Just to wait for Xu Man to get out of the moon
The squad leaders of the cooking class, after working on the soldiers’ meals, also brought their cooking utensils over to help
This time, Xu Man didn’t make any buffet or barbecue
It’s time for a change, just follow the village’s eight big bowls specification
Four hard dishes and four cold dishes
On Rainbow Island in June, the air feels hot during the day, so you have to wait until the sun goes down to start the meal
This time, because it’s not a cold buffet or barbecue that is prepared in advance, the kitchen side is somewhat similar to a banquet
Because today’s spoon is mainly the Xu family women, naturally, they have to follow the customs of Wei Zhuang Commune
The first course is red eggs
In fact, this is not really a dish, the significance is somewhat similar to the wedding candies at a wedding banquet
Because nearly a thousand people, last night Zhu Meizhen borrowed the cooking class a few large iron pots, boiled and dried, in the red ink soaked all night, today at noon to fish out
One by one is the kind of red through the pink, especially festive
As for why the wedding is joyful candy, child birth is eggs Xu asked do not know
I only know that she now sees the eggs on the stomach
At the beginning of the month, Xu Man took eggs as the main food for every meal every day
After about three days of eating, Xu Man could not bear to apply to Zhu Meizhen for something else
At first, Zhu Meizhen refused, “In the commune, which of the menstruating women didn’t eat eggs?”
“Mom, you have to know that in the commune, our living conditions are generally not good, and there are especially few rich people, so eating white flour buns is considered an improvement in life, and it’s of course the best to be able to eat eggs all the time” Xu Wen blinked, “Then now that our family has the conditions, is it possible to change things up?”
This was really not a lie to Zhu Meizhen
When Xu Man was in high school, there were a handful of students like her who brought pickles to school, and many of them brought steamed buns with two mixes of flour
Put into a few decades later is a green and healthy mixed grain buns, put into the present can only be everyone is not willing to eat cornmeal nest head
Zhu Meizhen thought carefully, seems to be such a reason, slowly agreed to Xu Man’s request, but also only allowed her to eat well-digested food, and have to drink more soup water
Drinking soup Xu Man has no problem, but on the broth has a problem, what pig’s feet soup, pork chop soup, bone soup, but also do not put salt, Xu Man smell smell want to vomit, even if at least half of them into the stomach of Lu Yuanzheng
Regarding the matter of the soup, Xu asked to protest is ineffective, Zhu Meizhen insisted on not agreeing to cancel, the reason is to drink more soup children have milk to eat
Later, it was Zhu Meizhen who compromised
Because the child can not digest
Xu Man has eaten meat and drank pork chop soup, Xia Chu has no way to digest, almost as it is excreted
Zhu Meizhen realized that the original big fish and meat such as “good food” is particularly unfriendly to children
From then on, she no longer forced Xu to ask
Then Zhu Meizhen did whatever Xu asked
Xu Man doesn’t know much about parenting and relies on the magic mirror for support
Every day countless times to summon the magic mirror
Magic mirror magic mirror, how to feed the baby favorable?
The magic mirror magic mirror, the baby neck drowned how to do?
Magic Mirror Magic Mirror, why do babies get eczema?
And so on and so forth
Naturally, it also includes what is suitable for mothers to eat during the month
With the help of the Magic Mirror, Xu Wen also wrote a few lists of medicinal dishes for Zhu Meizhen to help her make
Sometimes Xu Man wondered if this was the so-called “book-raising” of a fetus
It turns out that raising a baby by the book isn’t for the sake of raising a baby exquisitely, it’s more because of inexperience and lack of understanding
Other mothers are sitting on the moon, the more fat, Xu Man is slowly recovered slim, the bad dew is also almost eliminated
But there is enough milk, little Xiachu ate white fat, Xu Man’s own color is also very good
Many of his sisters-in-law had given birth and felt incredible
Some pregnant sisters-in-law came to learn from Xu Man
No matter what, it was a woman’s nature to love beauty
For the sisters-in-law on the island, Xu Man’s monthly cycle had overturned their perceptions
It turned out that menstruation could be done in this way
