Chapter 178
Hai Cheng
Xu Wen stared in disbelief at the several bandaged animals that were still recovering
Li Daoming, the “veterinarian” that Lu Yuanzheng had been talking about every day, had lived up to his name this time
As far as Xu Man is concerned, all she knows is that she’s come up with a viable 3-D printed bone graft
But for Li Daoming and the others, it’s a risk to personal safety
With respect and caution for the patients’ lives, they needed to repeat their experiments before they dared to transplant the printed bones directly into the patients
These days, Tan Changlin and Luo Zemin stayed in Haicheng to cooperate
Tan Changlin was in charge of the printer program and Luo Zemin was in charge of the printer
And Li Daoming was in charge of healing the animals
The smallest was of course the mice commonly used in laboratories
But the mice were too small, and the experimental data was seriously insufficient
Li Daoming found a stray dog on the street
Originally, the dog walked with only its front legs dragging, and its two back legs were broken
Every time Li Daoming saw it after work, he would feed it something
This time, Li Daoming took this opportunity to get it back, using the printer to replace his two hind legs
One is a broken bone and the other is a prosthetic leg
Of course, after all, Li Daoming is not a real veterinarian, or with the help of a real veterinarian surgery
So far, the stray dog seems to be recovering well, and you can feel it gradually mastering its hind legs
The other subject is bigger and more valuable
It’s a donkey from a nearby production team
The donkey was in its prime, but because it gave birth to a baby, it somehow lost its leg
The team members were devastated
Now that the production team is still collectively owned, this donkey is more useful than several strong laborers when doing farm work
This said crippled on the crippled, sell can not be sold, work can not be done
The reason why Li Dao Ming know this donkey, because the production team of people in a hurry, pulling the donkey to the hospital it to see a doctor
At that time, blocked in front of the hospital made a big commotion, Li Daoming also followed to see the hustle and bustle
Later, was persuaded to go to the veterinary hospital
Now that Guo Jianye’s case lacks more experimental subjects, Li Daoming remembered this donkey and asked the production team about it
The donkey was still lame
Li Daoming then bought the donkey back
It was also operated on and looked good
On top of that, there were other large and small mammals
Li Daoming pointed to these, “For now, after 3d printed bone transplantation, the problem is really not big, and the recovery of the affected animals is better than we thought The experimental samples that we can find are all here
The small problems that will occur during the surgery, we have also repeatedly recorded and verified Next step, it’s time for clinical trials”
In other words, it would have to be tried on a human
If successful, Guo Jianye can walk on the ground again, 3d Bone Printing, then make the world famous
If it fails, it’s unknown whether Guo Jianye can live or not
Xu Wen chatted with Li Daoming for a few moments and asked him, “Are you particularly nervous?”
“If it was your man who asked this, then beat me to death, I would have said that I wasn’t nervous Since it was you who asked, frankly speaking, it’s really a bit nerve-wracking!” Li Daoming twisted his head to look at Xu and asked, “Sometimes, I don’t even know what to say about you! You said that if you didn’t mention such an approach Guo Jianye would have been able to lie down for the rest of his life, and I would have been able to continue to be my doctor without a care in the world
But you gave such a solution It gives Guo Jianye hope to get up and gives me a new direction
Whether this thing succeeds or fails, it may not have a big impact on you
But whether it succeeds or fails, to Guo Jianye, to me, the impact is very great”
Xu Man nodded, deeply impressed, “Should I say sorry then? For leveling these troubles for you all?”
Li Daoming waved his hand repeatedly, “Don’t! I can’t afford it This is just a little whining after we’ve gotten acquainted I definitely thank you from the bottom of my heart! Really
You don’t know how many young men like Guo Jianye I’ve watched leave the hospital over the years They were all seriously injured to guard the country and the people One was in his middle age, but he was disabled
There were many who needed to be waited on even to the end of their lives Like eyes that can’t see and ears that can’t hear also abound
You don’t know how excited I was the other day when I heard your vision! If, indeed, it succeeds, in the future, warriors like Guo Jianye, even if they take off their uniforms, at the very least they will still be able to live like ordinary people!”
The knife doesn’t know pain until it cuts on itself
Those warriors, they were not afraid to cut their heads and spill their blood
They also do not regret their injuries and disabilities
However, they were obviously young adults in their twenties and thirties, and they had to stay alive for decades until they turned gray, and the torment of this was not half as light as the suffering during training
Xu Man softly said, “I understand!”
Li Daoming stood up straight, smoothed his white coat, and respectfully bent down to give Xu Man a salute, “Sister-in-law, regardless of the outcome of this time, I thank you on behalf of Guo Jianye as well as the other soldiers!”
Xu Man had never seen such a serious Li Daoming before, and after being stunned, she reacted by rushing to help him, “You’re killing me! You’ve said that these soldiers are there to protect the country and the people As one of the people being protected, it’s only right for me to make a small contribution”
The two of them chatted for a while, and Li Daoming let out a long sigh, “Stretching one’s head and shrinking one’s head is also a knife Tomorrow it’s time to operate on Guo Jianye The success or failure is here to stay”
Early the next morning, Xu Man arrived at the hospital
Luo Zemin and Tan Changlin hadn’t slept much, repeatedly checking the final version of the printed skeleton to make sure there were no problems before handing it over to the medical staff for sterilization
Xu Man handed them the breakfast he had bought on the way, “Thanks for your hard work!”
Luo Zemin shook his head, “I’m fine After all, aside from the fact that this is a good thing that saves lives, it’s also greatly beneficial to our business”
If Guo Jianye’s matter came to fruition, it was conceivable that 3d printing would once again stir the nation
It would definitely be a big help to their business
Tan Changlin didn’t say anything, silently nibbling on a sugar packet before speaking, “If his legs can get better, it’s worth it to me!”
He had no interests here, and had put down the project in his hand to come over purely because Xu Man had begged him to do so
However, Tan Changlin had also lived on Rainbow Island for some time, and was well aware of what these warriors paid Men! Who does not have some blood in his bones?
So for Tan Changlin, as long as Guo Jianye’s surgery is successful, his trip will be worth it
Xu Wen thought for a moment and said to Tan Changlin, “If Guo Jianye’s surgery is successful, there may be one more thing I have to trouble you with”
Tan Changlin looked at Xu Man with a half-excited, half-vigilant expression, “What?”
Xu Wen raised his hand to signal the light that was illuminated on the operating room door, “Let’s wait until the surgery is over”
After a while Lu Yuanzheng also rushed over
He was in a hurry, and even though his pace was still steady and he couldn’t hear any sharp gasps, Xu Man knew that he was in a hurry to get here
He first handed him the cup of water he was carrying in his hand, and then took a handkerchief to wipe the fine sweat on his forehead
“The surgery is quite long, there’s no need to be in such a hurry”
Lu Yuanzheng’s eyes glanced toward the surgical lights that were lit up at the doorway and hmmm’d
In the midst of Tan Changlin and Luo Zemin’s coaxing long sighs, he raised his neck to take a few gulps of water
Xu Wen turned a deaf ear and tilted his head to look at Lu Yuanzheng
He drank a little sharply, the knots in his throat rolling up and down
This man even drank water so a!
Lu Yuanzheng screwed on the lid of the cup and carried it himself before speaking, “After the meeting at the command headquarters just now, I was uneasy and wanted to come over to take a look”
Guo Jianye is also considered to be the soldier he brought up
Similar to his own brother, it would be a lie to say he wasn’t anxious
Xu Wen knew that his heart was definitely not as calm as his face showed, and patted his hand gently to reassure him, “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine!”
It will be fine!
After all, it was considered a fairly mature surgery in the future
Even if the medical equipment is slightly lacking now, with Li Daoming’s skills it should be fine, right?
Waiting was often the most torturous
Initially, the four people stood at the door and chatted for a few moments
As time passed by, the four people were more silent than one another
Obviously, there was a row of chairs in front of the room’s door, but no one had the heart to sit down, their eyes staring unblinkingly at the clock on the wall
Xu Wen wore a pair of rooted shoes that hurt her feet after standing for a long time
She moved her feet and frowned slightly
Lu Yuanzheng was the first to notice Xu Man’s abnormality Holding down her shoulders and letting her sit on the bench in the corridor, he followed suit and sat down beside her, interlocking his fingers with hers
He didn’t say anything to comfort her, Xu Man knew better than he did
Besides, anything he said at this time would pale in comparison
In addition to waiting, they could not do anything
After a long time, Lu Yuanzheng suddenly spoke in a low voice: “Daughter-in-law, this is actually the feeling I hate the most Being unable to do anything but wait for others to pronounce judgment!”
His voice was particularly low and light
So much so that at the first moment he opened his mouth, Xu Wen hadn’t even reacted, and when she heard him clearly, she let out a sigh, “No one likes this feeling”
A hospital was a place to save lives, but it was a place that was hard for people to like
It was always filled with the smell of all kinds of potions
It was life and death at all times
On this point, Luo Zemin and Tan Changlin both had no problem with it either
“That’s why there’s a saying circulating amongst the common people ‘Don’t get sick if you have anything! Don’t be broke if you don’t have anything!’ What’s harder to accept than not having money is having a disease” Tan Changlin said
Xu Man was surprised that he would have such an opinion because Tan Changlin’s personality was here
Tan Changlin opened his mouth, wanting to say something but ultimately didn’t
Right at this moment, the lights in the operating room finally went out
Waiting for the four people, stood up in unison, staring at the two due to the age of the door has been a little yellow
On the glass of the doors, there was a large word, Hand and Art, pasted on each side
At the moment the two words were opened from the inside out
First, two nurses, followed by two leading old experts, followed by Li Daoming and the others, pushed the hospital beds out from inside
Lu Yuanzheng stepped forward and saluted the old experts
The doctors here are all military doctors, and the old experts are all old cadres, so if you really want to talk about rank, there is no one below Lu Yuanzheng
The old expert nodded and gestured to Li Daoming behind him, “You are all young people who are good at communicating, you guys chat!”
After saying that, he walked away in style
Li Daoming waited for his master to go away, collapsed his shoulders, leaned against the wall in a particularly unorthodox manner, and called out to Lu Yuanzheng: “Come and give brother a massage! I’m so tired!”
Xu Man was also anxious and couldn’t help but speak, “How’s the surgery going?”
These old experts are more calm than one another, and you can’t tell if they’re happy or angry from their faces
The nurses were also relatively tight-lipped and just pushed the person away
As for Guo Jianye, he was in a coma at the moment, and his waist and legs were densely bandaged
The only one who can talk and decipher is Li Daoming, who at the moment looks like he wants to punch twice
“Alas! I don’t have the strength to talk without pressing it!” Li Daoming said breathlessly, “Aigoo! It’s nearly seven hours of surgery!”
Lu Yuanzheng lowered his head and whispered in Xu Man’s ear, “Don’t worry, it’s done!” Then, with a playful smile, he walked towards Li Daoming’s side, “That was indeed hard work! Come, I’ll give you a massage!”
Xu Wen was stunned, then looked up again, only to see Lu Yuanzheng holding Li Daoming’s wrist with one hand and clamping Li Daoming’s shoulder with the other
She suspected that she even heard two clicks of bones
The reason why she said she doubted it was because, Li Daoming screamed too loudly
“Lu Yuanzheng! Is there such a thing as you doing this to your savior?”
“I didn’t ask you to save my life!”
“What you saved before isn’t saving? I told you that you have no conscience! I don’t expect you to repay me, but you can’t forget so cleanly, right?”
“Do you mean to remind me to settle the score with you for the experiments you did on me?”
The two men, who added up to the age of flower and armor, had a war of words for quite a while
In the end, Li Daoming lost
“Well, without whetting your appetites, Guo Jianye’s surgery ,” Li Daoming’s eyes swept darkly over the few people present, announcing, “Very successful!”
Luo Zemin and Tan Changlin subconsciously high-fived each other
It was Xu Man who asked Lu Yuanzheng with some curiosity, “How do you know the surgery was successful?”
Li Daoming didn’t even speak at that moment
“He can’t hide anything in his stomach, and the look on his face waiting to be complimented proves that it’s a success Besides, don’t look at him like this, but inside he’s especially girly! If the surgery really fails, he won’t even walk out of this door, and will definitely cry inside even more miserably than Guo Jianye”
Xu asked, “”
This description didn’t even know how to spit it out for a while
Li Daoming himself was of course unconvinced, “You’re the one crying more miserably than Guo Jianye! If the surgery fails, Guo Jianye won’t have a chance to cry!”
Tan Changlin’s airplane flew back to the capital that day
He was the head of the project, not good to be absent all the time
The airplanes in the eighties were under the control of the army, so Lu Yuanzheng found someone to let him go by plane
Luo Zemin returned to Pengcheng on the same day
He had previously run errands for Xu Man to buy equipment abroad, and then came back to Haicheng non-stop for a period of time, and he would have been anxious to leave his business there all the time
Only Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Man were left, staying for one more day
Waiting for Guo Jianye to wake up, before leaving
Military hospitals are different from local hospitals, usually do not need a special bed with them, the nurses will take care of them
If a particularly serious patient needs a companion bed, the unit will also send a companion bed
For them, it’s just a change of place still in the army
Local people hospitalized, are relatively free, want to come and go, do not reimburse the face of the checking room are not afraid
But the soldiers can not, they are under the control of the hospital
Mildly ill patients, every day, there is only half an hour release time, other time is also not free to leave the ward
Not only that
Local people come to the hospital for surgery, are required to sign the family
Often preoperative will also organize the patient’s family to talk, inform some of the precautions of the operation
But the military hospital does not have this set, to be precise, the military hospital to the soldiers and officers do not have this set
The entire treatment did not need to go through the family
This was also the case with the last road expedition
Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been rumors of his sacrifice spreading back to the village
Xu Wen walked out of the hospital and stood at the main entrance, looking back at the tall buildings of the inpatient department and lamenting, “Do you think this is humanized management or inhumane management for you guys?”
Lu Yuanzheng knew that she remembered her previous unpleasantness and took the initiative to hold her hand, “For us, life preservation is the priority, while the others are at the back of the line Often times, we can’t be bothered to talk about rules!”
Xu Wen nodded, her voice a little muffled, “I never want to come to this place again!”
Lu Yuanzheng sighed softly, “I don’t want to see that veterinarian again either!”
After returning from Haicheng, Lu Yuanzheng seemed to have more time It was almost possible to count on going to work and leaving work on time
To Xu Wen, it looked like his daily work was either tinkering with the ship or the land
The ship was the Yangtze River
Ma Liang’s disciples and grandchildren, every time they fixed a place, would go to test the ship, and Lu Yuanzheng would follow
Other than that, he and Shi Lei are like two production team leaders
Shi Lei held a notebook every day, while Lu Yuanzheng held a tape measure
Behind him were the clerk, the deputy battalion, and a few other people
Just around the island a little bit of suitable cultivated land to and fro
Now the policy of subcontracting land to households has not yet been popularized nationwide, but some areas have already begun to implement it on a trial basis
However, Rainbow Island is a special place, and some things can be treated in a special way
For example, this land right now can be said to be cultivated land or wasteland
Individuals can cultivate wasteland for a period of time before handing it over to the public
There are now quite a few islanders on the island
For the people, there is nothing more down to earth than having land to plant
But how this land is divided is a problem
For the time being, the island’s land resources were definitely more than enough for these people to grow
But, Rainbow Island would not have only these islanders
Like before when the sisters-in-law came to the island, the people would move around
What was different from the sisters-in-law was that no matter how much the sisters-in-law moved, the number of married warriors would be that many, and the land would probably be that much
But the islanders were different, the number of people going to the island would only increase, and this variable could not be predicted
Lu Yuanzheng discussed with Shi Lei, first divide it, and then when there are more people next year, then re-divide it
However, there is still one thing that has not been resolved until now
There are no aboriginal islanders on Rainbow Island, if they are barely counted, it is Sister Li and her family
Sister-in-law Li and her family’s Captain Zhao, as well as the islanders who stayed on Rainbow Island after being discharged from the army in the same year as Captain Zhao
These people were the ones who truly loved Rainbow Island and understood it, so naturally, there was no shortage of land for them
Then there were these people that Xu Wen brought with him to the island, these people came here for part-time work, and they didn’t come to Rainbow Island to farm, so they could be left out of the land
Lastly, there were the fishermen that Lu Yuanzheng and the others had rescued
The fishermen were also people, and they would have to settle down on Rainbow Island in the future
Then the problem came, the fishermen themselves could fish
The fishing grounds within the confines of Rainbow Island were already open to them
Wouldn’t it be too favorable a treatment if another portion of land was given to them?
Wouldn’t that be unfair to the people who only relied on farming for their livelihood, such as Xu Qiushi?
For this reason, Lu Yuanzheng and the others had a special meeting
Oh, to be exact, Shi Lei and the others had a meeting, and Lu Yuanzheng didn’t participate in order to avoid suspicion
After all, his old husband was among these people
Although Xu Qiushi always wanted to go back to Wei Zhuang, but he is a farmer in his bones, living on the island without giving him land will make him very difficult
Shi Lei held his book and watched side by side with Lu Yuanzheng as the people underneath worked to measure the land
Lu Yuanzheng looked at Shi Lei, looked at the big sun, hesitated or moved a little bit to the side
Even though it was only a little bit, it was already enough for Shi Lei to react, which was on behalf of Lu Yuanzheng’s dislike
Shi Lei: “”
He rolled his eyes without any good humor, “I didn’t invite you or mess with you today! What are you singing about?”
Lu Yuanzheng pursed his lips, “If I tell you that I just simply don’t want people to think that I know Big Fool, will this argument be a little more acceptable to you? It’s not like it’s the first time I’ve been a father! Do you really need to?”
It’s been a few days!
Days Shi Lei that the corners of his mouth cracked to the roots of his ears, and his eyes squinted so much that he couldn’t even see them without looking closely
At first, Lu Yuanzheng didn’t know, and in the spirit of caring for disabled comrades, he even asked him a sympathetic question
Only then did I realize that Song Baoying was pregnant with a second child
Then Shi Lei’s symptoms of being a happy father are maintained to this day
It was a hot day, and everyone was working feverishly!
Only Shi Lei held a book and stood on the side of the road smiling like a dog tail flower
Shi Lei: “”
“You don’t know!” Shi Lei looked left and right and lowered his voice, “I haven’t had a second for years, how much pressure I’m under! For fear of my parents putting pressure on Bao Ying, I took it all on me, saying that I’m too busy to take care of it In the past two years, my parents have worshipped at all our temples What’s even more exaggerated is that two days ago, they even sent me two talismans to seek children”
“That doesn’t make you happy as a fool, does it?” Lu Yuanzheng glanced at him, his disdain expressed plainly
It wasn’t like he had never been a father!
Shi Lei: “”
He tugged Lu Yuanzheng a few steps toward the shade of a nearby tree, “I told you you have to keep this a secret!”
“You can keep it to yourself!” Lu Yuanzheng didn’t want to hear it
“When I went back on vacation last year, my parents dragged me to see a doctor!!!”
Lu Yuanzheng gave Shi Lei a puzzled look, not quite understanding why he reacted so strongly to seeing a doctor Who hasn’t seen a doctor before?
Then from his exaggerated body movements, he realized what kind of medicine he was seeing
The corner of Lu Yuanzheng’s lips trembled, clenched his hand into a fist against the side of his mouth and coughed lightly, “Sister-in-law can get pregnant, it does not mean that you are well!”
Shi Lei: “”
Shi Lei threw the book in his hand at Lu Yuanzheng, who copied it and took a big step back
“Surname Lu, you wait for me!”
“What am I waiting for? It’s not like I need to go to the hospital!”
Shi Lei: “”
The two people fooled around for a while, and the land of the people underneath was almost measured
“No more fooling around! Seriously, why don’t you ask your sister-in-law’s opinion on this again?”
Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, “We’re a bunch of big men and we still can’t understand such a piece of land?”
“That’s not so useless! It’s just that I always felt that every time my sister-in-law spoke a simple word in the past, she was able to solve all of our problems”
“You said it was in the past! Recently, my daughter-in-law is too busy!” Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, handed the leather ruler to his men, and waved his hand to Shi Lei, “Hard work again, Instructor Shi!”
“Where are you going?”
“Home to accompany my daughter-in-law!”
Shi Lei: “”
“F*ck! My daughter-in-law is still pregnant!”
He hadn’t even accompanied his daughter-in-law yet!
That being said, Shi Lei still honestly led the people back to the battalion headquarters
Because, if he doesn’t accompany now, he can accompany tomorrow, and if tomorrow doesn’t work, then the day after tomorrow, and Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen, once again, will be separated
When Lu Yuanzheng arrived home, Xu Man had just taken off the diaper for Xiao Xiachu and was studying it there
Diapers are different from sanitary napkins, except for their shape
Children’s skin is more tender and sensitive, and needs more care
Xiao Xiachu, as the experimental subject of diapers, can be said to have been pampered and suffered
The first good diaper, may be the reason for the material, little Xiachu surprisingly allergic
Little buttocks red
The second time is not allergic, but almost a year old Xiachu, urine volume is certainly not the same as the little baby The diaper does not absorb fast enough, the little guy wet his pants
The third time, the fourth time, until now
The pull-up pants on Xu Wen’s hand had been perfect
In addition to little Xiachu, the other small children on the island were also the subjects of Xu Man’s experiments
Big and small children, boys and girls, were all tested one by one
Then according to the diaper size provided in the magic mirror, repeated corrections were made, and finally the purpose of mass production could be achieved
Xu Wen washed his hands, left Xia Chu here with Zhu Meizhen, and returned to the family area with Lu Yuanzheng himself
It was just the two of them, and none of the children were with them
“When are you leaving?” Lu Yuanzheng opened his mouth
Xu Wen looked sideways
Lu Yuanzheng half-hung his head, a ray of sunlight shone through the shade of the trees on this half of his scarred face, adding a touch of warmth
It was as if the god of war had descended to earth with a sense of fireworks
When he didn’t hear the answer, Lu Yuanzheng also looked at Xu Man sideways, his good-looking sword eyebrows slightly raised, seemingly a little confused
Xu Wen reached out and compared a five, ”Comrade Lu, I know you can’t let go of me But you’ve asked me this question five times since last night!”
Lu Yuanzheng stopped speaking, his thin lips pursed
“So reluctant to part with me, or else you can come with me!” Xu Wen hooked his finger towards him
Lu Yuanzheng sighed softly, “Of course I want to Isn’t this something you can’t help?”
Xu Wen lost his smile, stopped his footsteps, and also pulled Lu Yuanzheng to a halt
In Lu Yuanzheng’s confused eyes, she stood on her tiptoes and cupped Lu Yuanzheng’s face with both hands, rubbing it vigorously, “Comrade Lu, isn’t it you? What did I say about you running around the world every day? I just went back to school, look at your bitter face! Those who don’t know would think that I eloped with another man!”
“Hiss!” Lu Yuanzheng raised his hand and flicked Xu Man’s glossy forehead, “How dare you say anything! Have I been spoiling you too much lately?”
Xu Man giggled
He wasn’t spoiling her too much lately, he had been spoiling her all along
Originally, Xu Man thought that she would still have to see Lu Yuanzheng off with the Yangtze River ship
Who knew that she would have to leave the island first
It is not a big deal, her level is since the restoration of the college entrance examination, the most special level
All other entrance exams are in summer, graduation season is also in summer, and thesis and everything is in spring
But Xu Wen’s level of college entrance exam was the only winter entrance exam
The college entrance exam was in the winter, and the school year started in the spring
The timing of their level was always not quite the same as other ages
People went to college in the summer, they were on winter vacation
Often, the last year of college required internships in addition to thesis preparation
Xu Man went back this time, in addition to handing in her dissertation was to publicize her factory’s diapers
But her matter wasn’t that urgent
“I always have to finish my daughter’s birthday before I leave!”
First birthdays were still taken quite seriously in Wei Zhuang
Nowadays, Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen were the only elders for the two of them, so they definitely had to follow their rules
Lu Yuanzheng was aware of this answer and was not surprised or satisfied, grumbling, “It’s not going to be more than these two days or so!”
“Or else? I’ll wait a few more days for you to leave first?”
Lu Yuanzheng thought about it and shook his head, “Forget it, it’s better for me to send you!”
Come to think of it, although every time it was Lu Yuanzheng who had been away from home for a long time, she hadn’t sent Lu Yuanzheng off either
Either Lu Yuanzheng sneaks away in the middle of the night while Xu Qian is asleep
Either it was the same as the New Year’s Eve when he sent Xu Man away from the island and then left on his own
Precisely because he knew that sending off was too unbearable, he had never been able to let Xu Man taste this pain
“In that case, let’s just enjoy the moment and not keep thinking about the separation! It’s not the first time we’ve been separated”
“But the time we spent together this year was truly too little!” Lu Yuanzheng sighed softly
It was almost June in the year 81, and the two of them had been together for only a month or so, and if they were separated again, I’m afraid it would be another half a year to start with
“If you want to think like that, sooner or later you’ll have to worry into a little old man One must live in the moment!” Xu Wen said as she went around behind Lu Yuanzheng, leaped and jumped onto his back, softly pouting, “My feet hurt, you carry me!”
Although Lu Yuanzheng was unprepared, his lower body was particularly stable, standing steadily in place, waiting for her to jump onto his back, her long legs wrapped around his waist, before reaching out to hold her from behind
His hand restlessly pinched her buttocks twice, “Aren’t you a little bigger here?”
Causing Xu Man to raise his hand and slap him, “All people get bigger after giving birth, okay?!”
This is common sense
Lu Yuanzheng laughed
He laughed so hard that Xu Man pulled his ears in the opposite direction with both hands
The two of them laughed and joked as they walked towards home
Suddenly, Lu Yuanzheng’s expression changed, and he only had time to throw Xu Man to the side
By the time Xu Man climbed up, he could no longer see Lu Yuanzheng’s shadow
“Lu Yuanzheng! Lu Yuanzheng!” Xu Man got up in a hurry and shouted around
“I’m fine” Lu Yuanzheng’s voice came from below
Xu Man: “”
This was falling into a trap?
This realization calmed Xu Man down a little
After all, falling into a trap and disappearing were two different concepts
She carefully searched the ground before finding where the mechanism was
With great difficulty, she lifted the lid and saw that Lu Yuanzheng was propped up with both hands on the hole he had dug out, with sharp objects all below
Xu Wen didn’t try to pull Lu Yuanzheng out of the way, and hurriedly moved out of the way
Lu Yuanzheng jumped up three times
Xu Man took a closer look at him and didn’t look like he was injured, which put his mind at ease
“Who made the trap here?”
Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, “I don’t know It looks like the trap was just dug I guess I don’t know who on the island was bored to get it to catch wild beasts or something”
“But there are so many children on the island, what if they fall in?”
“It’s probably one of those fishermen who wants to hunt” You watch here, I’ll call someone to deal with it”
Saying that he was calling someone Lu Yuanzheng didn’t go far
A whistle around his neck, he blew it a few times and collected it, told Xu Man to wait, and left himself
After a while, a company commander came over with a group of soldiers
Xu Man told him what had happened, and the first company commander led his men to level the trap, and ordered his men to search the neighborhood to see if there were any other traps
Seeing that he could not be of much help, Xu Man went back to the cabin
Late May was late spring and early summer in the northern cities, but it was already the height of summer on Rainbow Island
Tossing around, her body was sweaty, so Xu Man went to take a shower first
When she came out, Lu Yuanzheng was also back, his bare back drinking water in front of the coffee table
“Did you find out who did it?”
Lu Yuanzheng nodded, but his gaze did not leave Xu Man’s body, “Just a few bear children who wanted to experience hunting You also recognize, it’s the Lou family’s kids”
Xu Man: “”
“Hunting?” What kind of primitive living habit is this?
Lu Yuanzheng gently rubbed his index finger at the end of his eyes, “They are indeed rather primitive as a nation Many of their living habits are as well Don’t worry, I’ve already spoken to their patriarch, and this won’t happen again in the future”
Xu Man sat on the sofa chair, raising his hand to wipe his own hair with a towel, and said thoughtfully, “If you want to change this situation, you can’t just rely on the patriarch’s constraints, you still have to change them ideologically Simply put, one has to let the children go to school”
Lu Yuanzheng nodded, “We both have the same idea However, letting them go to school might not be very easy”
“Because of poverty?”
Lu Yuanzheng nodded and shook his head, “It’s not just because of money There’s also mainly the difference in language as well as the cultural underpinnings”
Being poor was definitely the biggest reason
Even if the elementary school on the island didn’t charge tuition fees, then one would always have to buy their own textbooks
Of course, there aren’t too many fishermen nowadays, and there are only twenty to thirty elementary school students of the right age, so it’s not like they can’t afford to give them free textbooks
The problem is, is to give them will not let their children come to class
Because even if you don’t want to pay to go to school, it still delays the children to cook and do housework
The older ones can follow them to the sea for fishing
Subsidized schooling is just their wishful thinking, and it may still be a burden to the fishermen
The other thing is what Lu Yuanzheng said, their language is a little difficult to understand, listening to Mandarin is not a big problem, but speaking and writing is too difficult
Xu asked to see Lou Jiayi, obviously already twelve or thirteen years old girl, really want to write and read I’m afraid than Dongsheng
Such a child, inserted into the class can not keep up, from the first grade to read the age is too big
“No matter what You brought people back, is the people of Rainbow Island You still have to be responsible”
Lu Yuanzheng stifled a hmph and pulled the corner of his mouth again in self-deprecation, “There are too many people I want to be responsible for! In the end, I wasn’t even able to take charge of my own wife and children”
Xu Wen threw the towel at him, “Let’s make a deal, don’t say such demoralizing words again! Cherish the moment!”
Lu Yuanzheng nodded his head, “You’re right! Since it’s only a matter of time, let me do my duty now!”
He bulldozed his body and pressed against Xu Man
Xu Wen was busy straightening her arms and pushing him, “No You haven’t bathed yet! You haven’t bathed yet!”
“I’ll do it later!” Lightly laughing, he hooked away Xu Man’s bath towel, “You’re washing for nothing, why bother?!”
Xu Man: “”
Xia Chu’s weekly banquet was held in Pengcheng
To be exact, it was held twice in one day
There was also another one on Rainbow Island at night
In fact, what Xu Wen discussed with Lu Yuanzheng was to try not to disturb the people, and just have a lively dinner with the large family of the Xu family and forget about it
For this, Xu Wen also special closed store for a day, do the host picked a good hotel to ask for a private room said to his nephew’s daughter over the birthday
Xu Wang to Xiachu hand-sewn a set of small princess dress, pink tender, layers of especially beautiful
Xu asked to Xiachu tied a pill head, wearing a small crown
Xu Wang do women’s clothing know a lot of rich people, but also to Xiachu bought a large double-layer cake, the cake has a Snow White cream painting on top
Xu Che, Yuan Bao, Dong Sheng and Chun Sheng all looked at the cake
Dongsheng didn’t really crave the cake much because Xu Man used to make it all the time
“Then you’re still drooling!” Yuanbao mocked Dongsheng
“My Ma Ma is too busy and hasn’t made desserts in a long time! She didn’t even make it for Xiachu’s birthday this time” Dongsheng sighed like a small adult
In the past, on his birthday, Xu Wen would always make him a cake
There was also one last winter
He didn’t realize that Xiachu was only a week old and already didn’t have a cake
It felt like his sister was even more pitiful than himself!
Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen were busy making Xiachu’s birthday
The main event of the birthday party is the weekly birthday cake
The two old men didn’t know where they saved up so many things for the week
Xu Wen saw that there were also shuttles used by fishermen to weave nets
Xu Wen probed and took a look, also expressing great surprise: “Mom and dad, you two went to Rainbow Island to pick up rags?”
This was a place full of all sorts of messes
Most of it was picked up at first glance
Zhu Meizhen lightly patted Xu Wen, “Nonsense what? Rainbow Island lacks this and that, so your father and I have been saving these things for several months! If we’d known we were coming to Pengcheng for our birthday, we wouldn’t have gone to such lengths!”
Xu Man quickly swallowed back his words in agreement with Xu Wen, and rolled his eyes at him, “That’s right! Brother, how can you be so ignorant of mom and dad’s good intentions? Mom and Dad call this intergenerational love!”
Xu Wen: “”
Clearly, that’s not what Xu Wen said just now
Xu Wen, having suffered a loss, turned his face toward Lu Yuanzheng and complained, “Look at the good daughter-in-law you married!”
Lu Yuanzheng only returned, “Second brother, her surname is Xu!”
Xu Wen: “”
Xu Wen lifted his eyelids and asked Lu Yuanzheng, “My last name is Xu, and then what?”
Lu Yuanzheng hurriedly gave a thumbs up, “Especially virtuous! Especially beautiful and generous! A good daughter-in-law!”
Xu Wen gave him a blank look
Xu Wen also cut a sound
Xu Che’s ears twitched and he glanced in their direction
He seemed to have heard someone calling him?
Xu Qiu Shi and Zhu Meizhen were too lazy to care about these sons and daughters being blindly poor, and earnestly arranged the items they had searched for that represented the 360 trades one by one on the cloth baggage on the carpet of the private room
There were indeed many old items, but there were also many new ones
For example, Xu Man’s ring
There were also paper and pens that were newly purchased
After arranging them, Lu Yuanzheng placed Xiao Xiachu in the middle of the pile of items
“Pick the one you like best” Xu Wen explained the rules of the game to Xia Chu
Little Xiachu thought about it and took a box of matches
The family was dumbfounded
What does this mean?
You’re going to be a cook in the future?
Before they could figure it out, Xiao Xiachu turned her hand and shoved the matches into Lu Yuanzheng’s hand
Lu Yuanzheng was stunned, then he hugged Xiachu and kissed her little face, with a proud face: “My daughter still loves me!”
Little Xiachu didn’t pay much attention to her father’s enthusiasm, seized back control of her body and spun around in a circle picking through a pile of things
She picked a pen and gave it to Dongsheng
Picked a coin and gave it to Yuanbao
Picked a toy and gave it to Chunsheng
Picked a flower and pinned it on Xu Man’s head
