Chapter 176

Shi Lei frowned, “There are more and more people on the island now Will it be dangerous?”

Lu Yuanzheng got up and patted his shoulder, “That’s why you also have a long way to go next”

He also looked out through the window, unable to say whether it was appreciation or surprise, “Mainly I didn’t expect my family to ask to be so capable! I didn’t expect my family to be so capable of getting so many people from the commune I always thought that everyone wouldn’t give up that piece of land under their feet”

Shi Lei rolled his eyes, “Look at that smug face of yours and you’re still talking against your will! Comrade Xu Man is really capable, but your commune people are also quite unethical It’s not an exaggeration to say that her workers are old, weak, women and children, and a few of them can be called children If there are spies among the people you brought back, if something really happens, I’ll see what you do!”

“It shouldn’t be a big problem At that time, there was really no other way You know, we originally went there under the guise of cleaning up pirates and escorting our own country’s ships to have other tasks Who knew that there were real pirates, and that the island’s equipment wasn’t inferior at all

If it wasn’t for the superior performance of the Yangtze River, we would have suffered a great loss That’s why Jianye lost his leg

Those fishermen, if we didn’t save them, none of them would have survived They’re all our citizens We’d rather make a mistake than not save them

I’ve been observing them for half a month, I can’t be sure, but they seem to be fine We can’t be careless in this business, you should pay more attention”

Shi Lei hmmmed, “Don’t worry! There are our people in charge, and there are also twenty to thirty veterans who volunteered to stay on the island as islanders this year With them here, we can feel more at ease” He gestured out the window with the enameled jar, “So you’re just going to leave them there for now?”

“They fish for a living There are fishing grounds near Rainbow Island, so their livelihood is not a problem As long as they don’t move around, it will be like this for now”

“Then they don’t just fish for food, how do they sell it? Of course right now it’s just for sustenance, since they don’t have any big fishing boats yet But they’ve already approached me for an application, saying that they want some wood to build a boat, and I’ve approved it

When they have a boat, I guess the fish that come back will make the rainbow smell like fish We can’t let us digest it ourselves, can we?”

“For this kind of thing, you should go to my daughter-in-law”

Shi Lei rolled his eyes and shook off Lu Yuanzheng’s hand on his shoulder, “Look at you! More and more I don’t want to recognize you as my partner”

Lu Yuanzheng laughed softly, half unimpressed, the hand he took back was inserted back into the pocket of his pants, and Shi Lei leaned on the edge of the desk side by side, looking at the Rainbow Island that was getting more and more popular and prosperous, chatting about work

“When will you leave next time?”

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, “Waiting for the notice Gotta see when Ma Gong’s people finish restoring the ship”

“Jianye that leg ”

“My daughter-in-law said there’s no problem Then it shouldn’t be a big problem”

Shi Lei: “”

A bit tolerant, “You don’t bite one your daughter-in-law! Your daughter-in-law is just a military wife, even if she’s good at business, she’s not a doctor, can I listen to your daughter-in-law on this? What did the doctor say?”

Lu Yuanzheng looked innocent: “The doctor said to listen to my daughter-in-law”

Shi Lei: “”

He waved his hand and said only one word: “Get lost!”

Lu Yuanzheng really rolled

Rolled home to hug his daughter, tease his son and pester his daughter-in-law

When he arrived home, the house was a bit lively

The three little ones, twelve-year-old Xu Che, eight-year-old Yuanbao, and six-year-old Dongsheng, were making so much noise that they were about to lift the roof

Eleven-month-old Xia Chu, baring her small teeth that hadn’t quite grown in yet, stood holding onto the coffee table and watched the fun, and when she was happy, she even patted the coffee table with her small hands from time to time

I don’t know if it was excitement or cheering them on

Even if the children are noisy like this, his family Xu asked comrades, can still half lying in the bamboo chair do not know what to study, only from time to time to turn back to look down, that the eyes should be mainly uneasy little Xiachu

Lu Yuanzheng leaned on the bean bag and asked her, “Can you still work like this? You don’t mind the noise?”

“What if I don’t like it? Why don’t you take it out to play?”

“It’s not impossible But I’d rather take you out to play”

“Huh?”

“It’s rare that I can come back a little early Leave Xiachu to these half-breeds, and let’s go to a ” Lu Yuanzheng searched for the adjective Xu Man used to use, “A world for two?”

Xu Man was a bit moved and a bit uneasy, “Can they do it?”

“Can’t three men who are almost thirty years old be able to handle an eleven-month-old baby doll?”

Xu Man thought about it and nodded, putting down her pen and paper

Lu Yuanzheng reached out to pull her up, his eyes glancing down at the paper, “Still thinking about the skeleton?”

Xu Wen nodded, “Yes! Thought I’d see if I could recall more details that would be useful to them By the way, I want to go to Hai Cheng tomorrow to see if there’s anything I can do to help”

After Lu Yuanzheng held her and greeted the several bear children and declined their request to follow, he led Xu Man out the door, saying as he walked, “We’ll talk about tomorrow’s matters tomorrow, have a good day’s rest today, don’t want to think about work!”

Xu Man looked at Lu Yuanzheng suspiciously, “You still have time to rest?”

She couldn’t even remember the last time Lu Yuanzheng rested

“It doesn’t matter if I rest or not, but I really can’t stand it if you don’t rest anymore” Lu Yuanzheng was holding his skateboard in one hand and cupping Xu Man’s chin with the other, looking at her back and forth, more or less with the meaning of a wanderer, listening to these words was also a bit immodest

Xu Man was a little uncomfortable, sweeping her eyes from side to side for fear of being seen

She had to respect the times, where was this kind of licentiousness in the 80’s?

She was about to break away from Lu Yuanzheng’s hand when she heard him say, “Daughter-in-law, how long has it been since you’ve had a good rest? You have such thick dark circles under your eyes”

Xu Wen was stunned and subconsciously touched to her eyes, but she was clutched by Lu Yuanzheng’s hand and walked towards the beach

“I admit that I’m not a qualified husband, always absent when you need me But, I’m also still your man after all, I’ll be heartbroken when you’re like this I know that the amount of time I can spend with you is door less, so even if it’s only for such a short while, I want to just be there for you”

Xu Wen wondered if he was too stupid to understand human language after three years of pregnancy, and wondered, “What’s wrong with you today?”

Suddenly so sentimental?

“Nothing It’s just that just now, when I saw those fishermen sunning their nets and fishing to repair their boats with Shi Lei, I was a bit envious!”

Envy ordinary people’s family every day together towards the fireworks of noisy and noisy

Xu asked, “”

Actually, she wasn’t too envious, she still preferred a comfortable life

However, it was rare for Lu Yuanzheng to have time to door, so Xu Man didn’t make a fuss, interlocking her fingers with him and walking towards the beach

The houseboat was now mostly played with by children or other people, and Xu Man and Lu Yuanzheng hadn’t been up here for a long time, realizing that the houseboat had been altered quite a bit again

The oars that had been installed in the houseboat had all been removed to fool the Kaya

I don’t know who had even put a simple traveling bed directly into the houseboat

Xu Man looked back and forth curiously as if it was his first time on a boat

Lu Yuanzheng pushed the houseboat into the sea, rowed forward for some distance and then let the boat float on its own, pulling Xu Man to lie on the deck

The deck was covered with thick grass mats, which didn’t pinch at all

There was no blinding sun in the sky, it was cloudy and slightly hot, but the temperature was still fine at sea

Lying on it with eyes closed was very comfortable, so comfortable that one could drift off to sleep

Xu Wen originally thought that Lu Yuanzheng pulled her out to steal fish, just lying on the deck there are a few embarrassed, always feel that this is not good in broad daylight

She also couldn’t help but think of the indulgence in the sea last year, which is still fresh in her mind

As a result, the two people lay side by side for a while, Lu Yuanzheng not only did not move even sound

She couldn’t help but look at him sideways

Lu Yuanzheng had one arm behind his head, and the other arm was used as a pillow for her, his eyes were closed at the moment, and he didn’t know if he was really asleep

His overly long eyelashes fluttered with the breeze, making Xu Wen feel itchy, as if his eyelashes were poking at herself, and she couldn’t help but reach out to touch them

His hand was only halfway there when it was grabbed by Lu Yuanzheng, who sighed softly, “Originally, I only wanted to let you rest for a while However, it seems like you don’t really need it Since that’s the case, why don’t we do something?”

After he finished speaking, he rolled over and supported himself above Xu Man

Xu Man didn’t react as quickly as he did, and by the time he finished listening, he was already trapped in the door between his body and the ship Reacting to the meaning of his words, her face abruptly reddened, and she hurriedly pushed him, “Don’t! I just wonder, you are obviously so busy, how could you bring me out to play all of a sudden for a good reason?”

It always felt like he had something to say, or something to do

Or even, ready to do just what he was threatening her with right now

But listening to Lu Yuanzheng, he hadn’t been planning to do that in the daytime

“That’s why I’m incompetent” Lu Yuanzheng gently touched Xu Wen’s face, “We used to often sneak out to live in the world of two people, I didn’t see you so ” He didn’t think of a good wording for a time door

Zheng Zhenggong? It doesn’t seem to count

Not adaptable? The two people are also considered an old married couple

Resistance? Doesn’t seem to be

Anyway, Xu Wen just wasn’t used to him accompanying her to simply stay for a while

It seemed like the two of them had to do something together now, either work or

While Lu Yuanzheng couldn’t think of a suitable adjective, Xu Wen understood what he meant and sighed softly, ”You said it was before In the past, there was only one little Dongsheng, and he only surrounded Doudou every day Although you were busy at that time, at least you had a time door schedule, and could get to and from work on time We had time to steal half a day of leisure

How can we do that now? The most exhausting time for Xiachu is when mom has to take care of her, watch over three half-grown kids who hate dogs and chickens, and take care of the meals for the whole family I brought the old folks from home are still waiting to settle down to work, the new factory to get, the child has to see, Dad still have to get the stone to build a house, Haicheng is still waiting for an operation Guo Jianye ”

Things a pile a piece, not to mention the time door of the world of two people, even a peaceful sleep is a luxury

Since Lu Yuanzheng’s ship docked, the two have not even had the time to talk properly about their hearts

“So how long has it been since you’ve had a full night’s sleep?” Lu Yuanzheng looked down at her

Xu Wen thought about it, and it seemed like it had been over a year since the beginning of her late pregnancy until now

She had forgotten what it was like to sleep until she woke up naturally

Lu Yuanzheng wrapped his arms around her, the words of apology clogged in his throat and he couldn’t say a single word, he owed her too much, what’s the use of just saying sorry

Not only owe, he can not change, in a few days afraid or have to go

For a long time, he wrapped his arms around Xu Wen and said softly, “Sleep well today! Don’t worry about anything I won’t touch you either”

Xu Man understood what he meant, and closed her eyes willingly

In fact, she was really a bit sleepy, but for some reason, she couldn’t sleep with Lu Yuanzheng like this

She moved around in his arms

It’s not on purpose, just can’t sleep and want to roll over

After a long time, I heard Lu Yuanzheng sighed softly at the top of her head: “Originally, today, I really just want to let you rest for a while Since, you can’t sleep, let’s do something else?”

This time, Xu Man reacted quickly and quickly closed her eyes, “I can fall asleep”

Of course, Lu Yuanzheng wouldn’t believe her and got up to carry her into the houseboat

On the quiet sea, the wind picked up out of nowhere

The houseboat swayed, as if it was wrapped in a big wind and big waves

Listen carefully, the wind vaguely drifted enchanting female voice murmuring

After a long time, it finally calmed down

Inside the houseboat, on the narrow folding bed, two people embraced each other

Xu Man is really asleep this time, Lu Yuanzheng lightly embraced her, looked down at the faint auburn under her eyes, his heart fluttered with pity

Ming Ming is a very delicate girl, especially easy to be contented, does not have much desire for material things, nor does she have much ambition

As far as she is concerned, the family together, peace and prosperity is the best

But because of him, she ate the pain of pregnancy and childbirth, in the breastfeeding period also open up the island development

She should not have been in charge of these things, she only did it because she felt sorry for him and wanted to help him

Lu Yuanzheng lowered his head and gently dropped a kiss on the corner of her forehead, and embraced her as she slept

In fact, he has not been able to sleep well for a long time, all the things that are entangled, often can not sleep at night, on the way back to the road can not wait to stop day and night, early to come back to see her

Xu Wen this time is not a natural wake up, hot wake up

When he woke up, it was still dark

It’s hard to sleep soundly with things on your mind

Besides, no matter how skinny two adults are, squeezing on a thin traveling bed in this kind of weather will be hot

Xu Wen sat up

Lu Yuanzheng sensed the movement, and without even opening his eyes, his hand came to hold her, “Sleeping a little longer?”

“Woke up from my nap” Xu Man refuses and tries to get out of bed around him, being grabbed and clasped in Lu Yuanzheng’s arms

Xu Man was just about to speak when she first heard a thud, similar to the movement of a car with a flat tire, and then felt the ship sway violently, and then heard the sound of certain gases spilling out of the air

“What sound?” Xu asked, Lu Yuanzheng abruptly got up, fished out his pants to the body, and answered Xu in passing: “Our boat is tied up!”

Xu Man: “”

Underneath the boathouse are the inner tubes of tires, and the noise just now is probably a punctured tire

There should be more than one

Xu Man was also busy fishing for clothes to put on and opened the door of the bamboo house

Lu Yuanzheng is squatting on the deck

Next to the deck, there are three half-grown boys, should be similar to Xu Che or a little bit older than him

The three men were in the water, their arms resting on the side of the boat, with the attitude of being on trial for a mistake, their heads hanging down in unison

“What’s going on?”

Lu Yuanzheng heard Xu Wen’s voice, looked back at her, frowned, got up to free her hair that was hooked by the clasp, and smoothed his hair to cover the marks he made, and returned to her in passing, “Sort of an accident These three boys couldn’t stay at home and followed their parents over to go fishing, and they got greedy and wandered off We are also a bit lucky, just happened to drift here, landing on these three people’s harpoon!”

Xu asked: “”

To put it bluntly, their boat was pierced by these three kids

“So what now?” Xu Man frowned, “Can we still row back?”

Standing on the boat now, there was an obvious feeling of falling, and she could clearly feel the boat sinking a little bit

She glanced towards the shore as she asked

This place was already some distance away from Rainbow Island, but it wasn’t too far from the fishing grounds

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, “The probability is that we won’t be able to row back” He pointed at the three children who were picking at the side of the boat, “They just told me, these two rows of tires, there aren’t many lumps left”

Xu asked, dumbfounded

She “Ah!” She let out a cry, turned back to measure the distance to Rainbow Island, and said with a bitter face, “We won’t have to swim back, right?”

Then she would rather not have this moment of two people’s world, dare to make up sleep to save energy just to swim?

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you swim” Lu Yuanzheng’s chin nodded down to the three children, “Let them swim! The three of them not only have to swim back, but also have to drag us back!”

Xu asked, “”

Looking at those three skinny and bony boys, Xu Man was more or less unable to bear it, and asked one more time, “Was the boat intentionally scratched or was it an accident?”
