Chapter 182
“Huh?” Xu Man blinked, looking towards the east where the sun was gradually rising, “It can’t be, can it?”
Last year and the summer before that, the weather bureau had notified the city twice that there would be a typhoon
But each time, the typhoon took a detour
Every year, August to October was the peak season for typhoons, but Xu Wen hadn’t really seen any in the past two years on Rainbow Island
Now that it was the beginning of August, it was hard to say
Xu Qiushi shook his head with his hands behind his back, “I don’t know how it is on the island I can still be a little bit better at home”
Xu Wen knew that when Xu Qiushi said that he was a little bit more flexible at home, he didn’t mean that the phrase “open door, wind, closed door, rain” was flexible, but rather referred to how he felt
Open door wind, closed door rain is a common saying in Wei Zhuang
It means that when the wind blows in the morning, it rains at night
This is an old saying that has been passed down, and should not be a big problem
But this kind of weather can only be adapted to more obvious weather
Xu Qiushi has been a farmer all his life, in the case of extremely inaccurate weather forecasts or no channel to know the accurate weather forecast, to determine whether the year is drought or flood, to determine whether the day is sunny or rainy, have their own local methods
This kind of local method mainly relies on experience and intuition, and belongs to the category that can only be understood but not clarified
Xu Qiushi was familiar with the weather in the north and was able to judge the weather, but he was not familiar enough with the climate of the island to accurately predict it
He rubbed his waist and eyelids, and muttered to himself, “I wonder if this body warning will work on Rainbow Island?”
Xu Wen didn’t hear him say this because Dongsheng woke up
Like a calf, the six-year-old boy rushed over and hugged Xu Man’s waist
Xu Man almost lost his footing and threw Xiao Xiachu out
When she stabilized herself, she placed the reluctant Xiachu on the ground and hugged Dongsheng
She could only squat down to give Dongsheng a hug, and with Dongsheng’s current weight and height, it was already difficult for Xu Man to pick him up
“Mom, I miss you”
“I miss you too”
“Mom, are you still going out?”
“In a short period of time, I don’t think I’ll be going out, right?”
“Great!”
Although there was still a lot of work that should be done in the diaper factory, Xu Man hesitated out of guilt and decided to give himself a day off to accompany the children
Xu Man took Dongsheng and Xu Che and they went to milk the cows first
He also used the milk to make many desserts, including double skin milk, milk pudding, and other snacks
The first time I saw her, I was so happy to see her, and I was so happy to see her, and I was so happy to see her
Because since she got pregnant, Xu Man has become busier and busier
It’s been a long time since I’ve slowed down to enjoy life
The morning sun is covered by dark clouds at noon
Xu Man brought the two children to nap up, outside has begun to rain
At first it was a light drizzle, and by nightfall it was about medium rain
It was normal for it to rain on the island in July and August
Dongsheng and the others were most enthusiastic about running around outside on this day, each wearing their homemade raincoats and running around outside with extra joy
Little Xiachu also wanted to go out
She was too small, and Xu Man was afraid that she would get sick from the rain, so of course he refused to agree
Little Xiachu anxiously tapped on the door panel babbling
In fact, she could already speak quite a bit, mostly superimposed words, and a sentence was often kept to less than two words
But when she got anxious, she forgot to speak and still babbled like a baby
“No way oh!” Xu Wen was unmoved, “Brother is old enough to go out and play, but you’re too young to get sick easily in the rain And you can’t even speak well right now, I won’t know exactly how you’re uncomfortable when you’re sick, and I’ll be worried”
So when it comes to the second trimester of pregnancy, the so-called being well after birth is a lie
Little children have post-birth troubles after they are born, and it’s not at all as wonderful as one would imagine
Take little Xiachu for example, every month from birth has every month’s problems to worry about
Spit up during the month
The second month would have colic Every evening, she would suddenly cry out without warning
No matter whether you give her milk or change her diaper, it’s useless, just crying how to coax can not be
Zhu Meizhen said this is called twilight alarm, past that period of time will be fine
Xu Man thinks it’s not right, a two-month-old child won’t try to attract the attention of adults by crying, and since she’s crying, it means she’s really not feeling well
I can’t get an answer from Zhu Meizhen, so I simply asked the Magic Mirror
The Magic Mirror said that this is called colic and needs to be held in an airplane
Xu Man researched what airplane hugs were again
I don’t know how much pressure I was under at the time
Xiao Xiachu’s small arms and legs are so thin that they seem to break when she exerts herself, and she doesn’t even dare to hold her during the month
As a result of that laborious airplane hold or single arm hold, the first time to hold Xu Man anxious sweat
In the third month, when it was hot, little Xiachu had already got up milk fat, and the whole person was fleshy
One day when I was cleaning the folds under Xiachu’s neck, I found a red line, and when I looked closely, it wasn’t a red line, but a broken line, and the skin on the top and bottom of the neck was a little broken
Frightened Xu asked to take Xiachu to the hospital overnight, the doctor said that it was because of the sweltering heat, drowning after sweating, or not thoroughly dry after a bath
The doctor said that it was because of the sweltering heat and then drowning in sweat, or not drying thoroughly after the bath Xu Man was instructed to wipe the child dry after each bath and put it on
It took half a month for Xia Chu to recover
At four or five months of age, the baby had diarrhea
That is, before the day to pull a few times the baby, suddenly several days do not poop, this can be scared Xu Man
However, Zhu Meizhen and other sisters-in-law said that this is called saving belly, some children will be three or four days, some five or six days to poop
Xu Man is not quite sure what saving belly means, guessing that it should be like intestinal development About before quite short like a straight intestine, eat not on the pull, big intestine will be long side of the nine bends and eighteen bends
Of course, this is Xu asked the guess, she did not go to the doctor
Because as Zhu Meizhen they said, after five days, Xiao Xiachu began to resume normal defecation again
At the same time, Little Xiachu learned to roll over
One day, she was suddenly able to roll over
At first, Xu Wen was happy to witness another “first” for Xiao Xiaochu
But he soon became unhappy
Xiao Xiachu did not have a sense of crisis and learned to roll over to go to a certain place, but if adults did not hold her, she would roll over on her own
Once she woke up, Xu Wen was not at the bedside, she rolled under the bed and fell and cried
Xu Wen heard the noise, went upstairs to see her forehead bumped and swollen piece, heartache and guilt and angry
Xiachu crying she also anxious to cry
Since then, Xiachu sleeps on both sides of her pillow and does not dare to go far
When Xiachu was 9 months old, she had her first fever
Directly burned to forty degrees
Xu Wen was very anxious
Although there are military doctors on the island, the officers and soldiers of the health company are not good at pediatrics
Again, he rushed to Pengcheng in the middle of the night and hung up the emergency room
Like Lu Yuanzheng said, the pediatrician is the most difficult
All other doctors can look and smell, but only pediatricians rely on experience and “guessing”
Because the little baby can’t talk at all
At that time, Xiachu was too small for injections, and recommended a Chinese doctor who specializes in children
Xu Man also took Xiao Xiachu to go, in the foot heart pasted the ointment
That traditional Chinese medicine now Xu Man has been recommended
Particularly God, plastered half a day on the fever, three days healed
Can only say that the masters in the folk
But the island to Pengcheng so far, especially not easy, so Xu Man would rather listen to Xiachu cry also do not want to go gambling
What if the fever breaks?
People Dongsheng has a good physique and doesn’t get sick a few times a year
Xiao Xiachu cried for a while, see Xu asked not to compromise also did not lose his temper, pulling Xu asked to go upstairs
When Xu Man carried her upstairs, she staggered out onto the terrace to watch the rain
Xu Man: “”
A one year old child would still curve to save the country?
I don’t know who this ghostly idea follows
It doesn’t matter, anyway, in Xu Man’s eyes, the good ones are with her, and the bad ones are with Lu Yuanzheng
When Xiachu and Dongsheng are obedient, Xu Wen is “Look, my daughter ”
When they don’t listen, Xu said, “Look, your daughter ”
The terrace can see the rain but can not be drenched, Xu Man also let the little Xiachu tossed
Xiachu in the railing gap stretched out a small hand received the rain outside, excitedly shouted, but also cheerfully turned back to let Xu Man see
Xu Man, on the other hand, did not go out of his way to praise her a couple of times
The rain suddenly became heavier in the evening At the same time, there was also the wind
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the wooden houses were all being blown with a creaking sound
Xu Wen felt particularly uneasy listening to the commotion and hugged Xia Chu to the first floor
She and Xia Chu had just arrived in the living room when they heard the sound of clicking wood breaking
Xu Man put Xia Chu on the floor and returned to the second floor herself
It was the terrace built in the house that had collapsed, the entire deck that had been built out breaking right off and smashing into the yard
Xu Man was stunned, first with a backlash of fear to the point of shivering all over
If she had still been on the terrace with Xiao Xiachu just now, both of her mother would have been thrown to the ground at this moment
Such a height might not be fatal, but injuries and disabilities wouldn’t be too unexpected
Xu Wen didn’t dare to think about what she would do if Xiao Xiachu had an accident
The sound of the wind and rain outside woke Xu Wen up, she hurriedly packed up the money and jewelry of the family, as well as a pile of medals, medals and certificates of Lu Yuanzheng, hurriedly went downstairs
Xiao Xiachu was crying at the door
Xu Wen hurriedly put Lu Yuanzheng’s military medals into a small metal box and stuffed it under the cabinet before going to hug Xiachu and coax her
The wind outside was still escalating
Not long after, Xu asked through the glass, vaguely saw a team of officers and soldiers came over, door-to-door notification shouting people to evacuate
The one who came to Xu Man’s house was a young man whom Xu Man recognized, “Sister-in-law, I’ll have to trouble you to bring your child to the boat first This is a raincoat”
He handed the raincoat to Xu Man, bent down to pick up Dongsheng, and at the same time said, “We’ve just received a notice from the higher-ups that the typhoon will be landing soon! We all have to leave the island!”
The incident was so sudden that no one was given a chance to prepare, not even giving Xu Man time to pack his clothes
All the military families, including the employees of the two factories and the new islanders who had just settled down on the island, had to be evacuated to the sea in the shortest possible time
Battleships are already waiting in the harbor
The typhoon made landfall without warning, and everyone thought it was just a normal storm, like in previous summers
Who knew it would suddenly turn into a typhoon
In Xu Man’s eyes, the child’s safety is the first, she did not pack anything again, see the soldier brother carry Dongsheng on his back, he put on a raincoat and picked up the still crying Xia Chu wrapped in his arms
A push open the door of the wind and rain on the head and face down, the storm wrapped in heavy rain ignoring the raincoat that protection directly to the eyes, ears, nose and mouth in the drill, the face was hit by a raw pain, breathing is difficult, especially suffocating
Xu Man simply can not open his eyes, can only hold Xia Chu tightly, to protect her in his arms, pull tight raincoat wrapped her, their own wind forward
The warrior who came to pick her up, carrying Dongsheng on his back, walked briskly
Along the way to the shore, Xu Wen saw many people like her being escorted to the shore by officers and soldiers
He didn’t know if Xu Qiu Shi and Zhu Meizhen and Xu Che were inside
But all the officers and soldiers were out, and they tended to prioritize ensuring the evacuation of the military families and the people, and then they tried to protect the supplies as well as their own safe evacuation
So there should be no problem, right?
The usual five-minute journey took a full fifteen minutes this time, stumbling along the way and almost falling several times
Although Xu Man wasn’t sure exactly how many levels this typhoon was, he only felt through his own feelings that it was also escalating in layers
It was like the pains of giving birth, one level at a time
In just a few hundred meters, the wind had increased by at least two more levels
As he walked, he heard a loud bang
Xu Man subconsciously turned back
In fact, under such a curtain of rain can not see what, but Xu Man just know is the wooden house was scraped down
Not one, but a long row
Xu Man didn’t dare to stay any longer, holding Xia Chu as he trudged forward
For the first time in his life, he hated himself for not being a fat person
She was too thin, nearly one meter seven with less than ninety pounds, especially not advantageous in this kind of weather
It was almost as if she took one step forward, two steps back, and stumbled forward
The warrior carrying Dongsheng was slightly better than her, but he couldn’t bring her and Xiachu along again, and then no one would be able to walk
“Protect Dongsheng on the boat first!” Xu Man shouted to the warrior through the rain
The warrior was a bit hesitant , he was still young and didn’t want to make trade-offs, wanting to get Xu Man and his mother and three of them on the boat safely
“Please!” Xu Man shouted, “Send him to the boat first! No matter what, please make sure you protect him!”
Dongsheng was a martyr’s orphan, and both of his parents had already died No matter what, Dongsheng couldn’t afford to slip up again
Even if he asked Xu Man to trade his life for his life Xu Man would not hesitate
The soldier gritted his teeth and turned his head away
Dongsheng s life has never been a secret in the military camp
This warrior might not know Dongsheng, but he would certainly have received instructions from above to protect Dongsheng before coming
Seeing the warrior walk away with Dongsheng, Xu Man let out a sigh of relief, then gritted his teeth and moved forward
Dongsheng gone or Xiachu, this is her daughter born in October of her pregnancy
She was only a year old and had yet to see the beauty of this world, she couldn’t just die
It is said that a mother is a mother, and this is half true
In his previous life, Xu Wen once saw a story on the Internet
A mom who went home and came back from grocery shopping saw her child fall from the fourth floor and rushed over
She managed to catch her child
It was said that at that distance, the mom was going at a speed that would have taken her to break the 100 meter world record to do so
So many people questioned it and found it impossible and unrealistic
There were questions about the veracity of this story
A reporter who came to interview the mom even tried to recreate the scene
A rag doll was thrown down from the fourth floor for this mom to rush over from where the incident happened at that time
But no matter how hard the mom tried to run forward, she couldn’t get there in time to catch the rag doll
Good thing that time is still very early, although everyone questioned but net storm is not yet prevalent, this matter will not be settled
In her previous life, Xu Wen was also skeptical of this news, but since she became a mother she believed it
The potential that a mother could explode for her child was something she couldn’t even imagine
Just like Xu Man at this moment
Xu Man gritted her teeth and held her breath, trying to take a big step forward, and then trying to stabilize her body to take two small steps back, so hard to move forward
Suddenly, a crisp click came from Xu Man’s ears
Xu Man raised his head and opened his eyes
Seeing a bowl-thick tree on the side of the road breaking off and smashing down towards her
Xu Man knew she should run, her consciousness was awake, but her body was out of control
Xia Chu in her arms was still crying because she was covered in a raincoat sweltering black writhing around
“Move ah! You move ah!” Xu asked in this kind of weather feel like sweating, in fact, just this kind of rain, sweat or not sweat completely indistinguishable, but Xu asked that moment is to feel like sweating
She took a deep breath, and finally her brain was able to control her legs
But the broken tree was already in front of her
“Lu Yuanzheng!” Xu Wen closed her eyes and shouted in despair
“Touch!”
The broken tree smashed on the ground
Xu Man opened his eyes
There was no miracle, it wasn’t Lu Yuanzheng
It was Mulan’s sister-in-law
Sister-in-law Mulan was about as truly martial spirit or fearless as a brave man could be, and managed to snicker at Xu Man, “Isn’t it a pity that it wasn’t your family’s Road Camp?”
However, she was only snickering with her mouth, but her movements were not slow, pulling Xu Man’s arm and turning around
Don’t look at her very small, but decades of martial arts is not practiced for nothing, the lower plate is particularly stable, pulling Xu Man forward step by step
Xu Man let out a sigh of relief
He followed Mulan’s sister-in-law with peace of mind
Mulan’s sister-in-law is no longer strong enough to see in this weather, but her ears and nose are better than the average person’s In the esoteric sense, it’s called hearing
To put it in a more complicated way, it is the so-called hearing the sound to recognize the position
Such a wind, the boat can not be too close, is the warriors solitaire to manpower all the people with a small boat pushed to the big boat
The big ship is a warship
Xu Man got on the boat, peeled off his raincoat and checked Xia Chu first, seeing that she was not suffocated and did not bump into it, he breathed a sigh of relief
Although Xia Chu is young, but also not stupid, know that this is happening very important things
As soon as she was rescued from the tight raincoat, she stayed obediently in Xu Man’s arms, huffing and puffing, timidly surveying the surroundings
Normally, everyone would have gathered around to tease her, but at this moment, no one was in the mood
The cabin was filled with hurried footsteps, people coming and going
Most of them were military families and people who had just been sent up, and most of the officers and soldiers were not on board
They still had to ensure the retreat of the islanders
Xu Wen couldn’t help but feel a little thankful
She was glad that they were stationed on the island, and she was also glad that she was a military wife
If the garrison on this island is replaced by other people from the Wei Zhuang Commune
If the garrison had been replaced by other people from the Wei Zhuang Commune, it would have been a large-scale disaster scene at this moment
Now is also, Xu Wen through the ship’s glass can still see the island constantly have trees collapsed
Including the wind turbines
“Sister-in-law, help me look at the child” Xu Man handed Xia Chu to Jiao Mulan
“Good” Jiao Mulan received Xia Chu
Xu Wen left in a hurry on her feet, she had to find Dongsheng
Dongsheng had gotten on the boat early, and now stood at the hatch, helping to pick up things from outside and carry them up
Xu Man frowned as she watched
It was not that she resented Dongsheng’s help, but she was angry
Angry at these islanders
This was clearly a time of life and death, a time when lives were at stake
If the islanders stayed on the boat for one minute at night, it meant that the warriors had one minute less time to evacuate
And most people are selfish, and I can’t say that they are, but in short, they will try to save their property as much as possible
In this weather there is also pulling and packing a bunch of have-nots
The warriors didn’t care that they still had to care about their property
Xu Man’s face was bad
To say wrong, also right Everyone is poor, every property is the fundamental to survive
Don’t want anything, that is, people who live will also starve to death
To say it is right, but most of those officers and soldiers are especially young, they are also other people’s children’s husbands
They can’t see that the people are in danger in front of them, so like rescuing personal belongings such are those soldiers rushed into the dangerous house to rescue out
That is to say, it was the soldiers who exchanged their lives for the people’s belongings
Yes, many people may think that this is the duty of soldiers and officers
But in Xu Wen’s eyes, it was something that could be mutually sympathetic
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, not wanting to see this scene that made her heart clog up yet she couldn’t stop it
So she turned around and continued to look for Xu Qiushi
Along the way, she bumped into quite a few acquaintances, such as Doudou’s mom and Doudou, Li’s sister-in-law, Luo Zemin, and some of the people brought by the Weizhuang Commune
The military wives were obviously more aware, and basically didn’t bring anything extra with them except for their children and themselves
Most of the laborers she brought to Weizhuang were panicked, and many of the girls were crying in fear, soaking wet and hugging each other, and in their arms were the bundles they had salvaged
Bulging, Xu Man also do not know what they actually loaded
However, this is not the time to lecture, just sensible condolences a few words, let them not be afraid
Only at the end of the walk did he see Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen huddled in the corner
The expression on Xu Man’s face eased a few points
Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen were typical of the poor
Xu Man was afraid to see Xu Qiusi holding his shovels and hoes, and then Zhu Meizhen holding the family’s food and drink
As a result, there was nothing around them except people
This made Xu Man very surprised
“Mom and Dad, are you guys alright?”
“It’s fine, it’s fine” Zhu Meizhen waved her hand, “Your father saw that the sky wasn’t right and we came out fast Alas! It’s a pity about the things in the house With this wind, the house would have collapsed I didn’t take anything! If I say should be more or less bring out, other do not want a family should always take a few clothes and so on, right? You’re a loser!”
Xu Meizhen chattered, suddenly turned her head to face Xu Che, raised her hand and patted him on the head, complaining to Xu Man, “Your father and I wanted to pack up a few things before we left This child pulled me and ran outside, and your father had to catch up for fear that something would happen to us! How can you be so greedy and afraid of death at such a young age?”
Xu Che glanced at Xu Wen and stuck his neck out, “Sister, I’m not afraid of death! The other soldiers are waiting for us, every time you grab something, you are delaying their time to save their lives! Is life important or is all that nonsense important?”
Xu Man gave Xu Che an approving glance, nodding his head in agreement, “Mom and Dad, I think Xiao Che did the right thing! This typhoon landed so suddenly that no one was prepared Neither did these officers and soldiers, who came to everyone’s rescue in the first place Like Che said, every minute we delay, the soldiers have to evacuate a minute later!
Look at the wooden houses on the island, and the wrist-thick branches breaking off with the flick of a wrist They’re flesh and blood They’ll get hurt if they’re hit
Is their lives not worth as much as our family’s stuff?”
Xu Che shouted at the top of his voice in order to argue
Xu Wen could also raise his voice in order to speak to the others
The originally chaotic cabin suddenly became quiet
Xu Man swept his gaze over, only to see that those with large bags had their heads bowed
There were also people who were like ostriches, trying to hide their large cloth bundles behind their backs
“Well said!” Luo Zemin led the applause
The other sisters-in-law followed suit
Xu Wen didn’t say another word, and still knowing shame was proof of salvation
“Clan chiefs and factory managers, count yourselves, if everyone arrives we’re going to pull out, a ship with this much wind can’t be anchored offshore, everyone will be killed” An officer looking man stood in the cabin with a trumpet and shouted
Luo Zemin and Xu Wen hurriedly went to count their workers
The fishermen side was Lou Hanshan’s responsibility
Soon the results came out, Luo Zemin’s workers were all together
Lou Hanshan’s clan members are all together
Xu Man’s face did not look too good
Her side is still missing people
The missing person is called Dong Haibo, a well-known scoundrel in the production team
He likes to cause trouble, often provokes trouble and fights because he is fat and strong, and also steals chickens and dogs when he is short of money
Xu Wen estimated that Dong Haibo should want to take advantage of the chaos to steal other people’s property
If she was right, Dong Haibo should be at her house right now
After thinking for three seconds, Xu Man had a decision, she told Zhu Meizhen to go find sister-in-law Mulan and take care of Xia Chu
Then she told the new battalion commander who had rushed over, “My boat is still parked on the shore I’ll go find my people and then leave in my boat You take everyone away and don’t worry about us!”
Shi Lei was on vacation, Lu Yuanzheng was away, the island couldn’t be left unattended, and another battalion commander was redeployed
Of course, when Lu Yuanzheng came back, the new battalion commander wouldn’t leave again, only that Lu Yuanzheng would be promoted
The new battalion commander rejected Xu Man’s proposal without even thinking about it, “No way! I’ll bring my men down to look for it”
“I understand what you mean Also know where your responsibility lies, but you can’t find him”
It was obvious that Xu Wen knew, but she wouldn’t tell the new battalion commander either
This was a mistake her people had made and she couldn’t drag everyone down
The new battalion commander frowned, “Sister-in-law, I know you’re doing us a favor But as a military sister-in-law you should know very well that it’s our duty to protect both you and that worker who hasn’t gotten on the ship yet If we don’t die, it won’t be your turn to get off the ship
According to the latest news received, there is now a seventeen-stage typhoon on the island There’s no way I’m letting you go up”
Xu Wen was silent for three seconds, “Three minutes If he’s still here in three minutes, sail the boat! No one needs to go down to look for him I’ll account for his home!”
New Battalion Commander: “”
Crowd of onlookers:””
Zhu Meizhen poked Xu Man with her hand and whispered, “Ask, human life is at stake, you ”
“My what? He is a healthy adult, he has to be responsible for his own behavior All the people fleeing for their lives in this kind of weather, and he’s still thinking about appropriating other people’s finances Does someone like that want everyone to put their lives on the line to save him? On what grounds? Just because he’s a citizen? Just because you’re wearing these clothes you have to die for him?”
Xu Wen was usually a particularly gentle person, but at this moment, she suddenly lost her temper and spoke harshly
It wasn’t easy for her to make this decision either, but hearts are biased, and she was even more unwilling to have these soldiers send their lives away for a lousy person like Dong Haibo
The cabin was silent for a few seconds
The new battalion commander stood up straight and gave a military salute towards Xu Wen, ”Sister-in-law, on behalf of all the soldiers, I thank you for looking out for us But, even if that worker is a murderer to be shot, as long as the execution hasn’t taken place yet, we have to save him, even if it means exchanging our lives for his So, sister in law, don’t waste time, just ”
“Sail the boat! I’ve brought the man!”
The new battalion commander’s words were interrupted
Both Xu Man and the new battalion commander looked in unison at the sounding of the voice
Lu Yuanzheng stood by the hatch with the huddled Dong Haibo thrown at his feet
The contents of Dong Haibo’s arms clanked and fell out
Confirming Xu Man’s suspicion, the bastard wasn’t afraid to take advantage of the chaos to sneak into her house and steal something
The ship quickly sailed away in the next instant
After the new battalion commander greeted Lu Yuanzheng, he busied himself with starting the aftermath
After counting the number of people, they still had to arrange for these people to stay
There were plenty of rooms in the cabin, but arranging for so many people was also under some pressure
Xu Wen walked over to Lu Yuanzheng’s side and looked him up and down, but the question on his lips was, “Why did you come back?”
“We encountered some trouble on the way, so we returned But just as we arrived, we received a notice that the typhoon wouldn’t allow us to approach The Yangtze is floating ahead! I wasn’t worried about you and the kids, so I acted alone to get a speedboat to try to get home to see you guys
When I got home, you weren’t there The house was half collapsed Just in time to hear him ” Lu Yuanzheng pointed to Dong Haibo, “calling for help It took me a while to pull him out of the rubble”
Lu Yuanzheng’s eyes quickly swept over Xu Man, “Are you and your children all right?”
Xu Man nodded, “They’re all inside, do you want to go take a look?”
Lu Yuanzheng hesitated for a second or shook his head, “I have to go sit in command first I’ll come back for you when I’m done settling in”
Xu Man nodded, that string in his heart falling into place this time
Not long after, Xu Man was called to a meeting with Luo Zemin and Lou Hanshan
They were given enough rooms to make their own arrangements
However, due to the limited space on the ship, the single ones had to live in dormitories, eight rooms
Xu Wen settled his own hometown workers, and then settled Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen as well
Theirs was a four-room dormitory, a cadre room
Only when all the people were settled did Xu Man breathe a sigh of relief, rubbing her aching neck and shaking it, suddenly realizing, then where would she live?
There wasn’t one for herself in the room she had just been assigned
And there were no more empty rooms
Xu Wen, who had nowhere to go, walked to the dining room and sat down
Anyway, the child was now with Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen, so she could breathe a sigh of relief
The ship was quiet
It was dark outside
Other than being able to feel the boat rocking significantly, the wind outside could not be heard at all
The fact that such a big boat could still rock like this was enough to show how strong the wind was outside
It was still out of the core range of the typhoon
Xu Wen leaned over the table, looking out the dark window, and suddenly felt sad for no reason
It wasn’t that there was no reason, just a feeling of exhaustion
Although she didn’t know the situation of the damage on the island yet, she could imagine that those wooden houses definitely couldn’t withstand the ravages, and she was afraid that there would be no place to live when the rain cleared
She also witnessed a windmill fall to the ground That meant that the power generation system had also been damaged
What’s that saying? Back to the old days
The island that they had spent several years building up was afraid to be blown back to its original form by this typhoon
When Lu Yuanzheng finished his work and came out to find Xu Man, she was already asleep
Xu Man’s head was resting on her arm, her face sad
Lu Yuanzheng bent down to hug her, and as soon as he touched Xu Man, she woke up
Xu Man rubbed her eyes, “You’re back ah!”
She frowned and rubbed her pillowed arm
“Pressed numb?” Lu Yuanzheng reached out and rubbed her arm
“Uh-huh” Xu Man skimmed her mouth in aggravation, “There’s not even a room for us”
“There is Blame me, I forgot to tell you”
With Lu Yuanzheng’s current rank he had a single room
Lu Yuanzheng bent down to hug her, “Go, take you back”
“I’ll walk by myself!” Xu Wen Gang refused, how humiliating for people to see
Lu Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows and didn’t insist
This was a public place in the end
Lu Yuanzheng’s room wasn’t too big, but only had a bed that was slightly more spacious
Xu Man’s clothes are still a bit damp, Lu Yuanzheng opens the closet and takes a new seersucker shirt to her, “Let’s make do”
“Hey? Why are there clothes here? Can I wear this one?”
“It’s all spare new clothes, just in case”
Wet clothes were always a bit hard to wear on the body, and Xu Man obediently changed
This seersucker was supposed to be a medium, and Xu Man wore it fat and big
Luckily, it was short-sleeved, so there was no need to roll up the sleeves
After thinking about it, she took off her pants as well and simply wore them as a skirt, then carried the dirty clothes into the bathroom that the room brought with it
Lu Yuanzheng grabbed the dirty clothes from her hand, “I’ll do it”
Not waiting for Xu Man to refuse, he already turned around and went into the bathroom
Xu Man had no choice but to follow
Her underwear was still inside!
But it wasn’t the first time Lu Yuanzheng had washed her underwear
When Xu Man was in her monthly cycle, her clothes were all washed by Lu Yuanzheng
“Just now, I ran into sister-in-law Mulan” Lu Yuanzheng spoke as he lowered his head to wash the clothes
Xu Man’s gaze and attention were in his hands
It was because he was washing her personal clothes
Not reacting for a moment, she casually let out an oh
Lu Yuanzheng raised his head and glanced at Xu Man standing behind him in the mirror, “She said that you and Xia Chu almost ” He realized that he couldn’t even say the words to get to that sentence, and in the end, he only said, “I’m sorry! ”
Xu Man then realized that sister-in-law Mulan had told him about them almost being hit by the tree
She reached behind her and circled his waist, calling out softly to him, “Lu Yuanzheng”
“Uh-huh”
“You don’t have to blame yourself or feel guilty On the contrary I’m very proud of you You see I’m still an ordinary citizen in addition to being your wife When the danger came, although you didn’t reach me first, but your comrades they helped us evacuate at the first time
Otherwise, I really don’t dare to think about what I would do if I were with Dongsheng and Xiachu
Seeing what they did today, I really feel especially proud! Proud that I have a husband like you!”
Of course, Lu Yuanzheng knew exactly how his own people would handle all this when disaster struck
They were all people who could deliver each other’s backs
Still, Lu Yuanzheng sighed softly, “No matter what, I’m an unqualified husband!”
Xu Wen blinked, her face pressed against Lu Yuanzheng’s back, her hand sliding down his belt, her mouth still playing the rogue, “Unqualified? I remember it’s quite qualified, isn’t it? Has it shrunk since you haven’t seen it for a while? Let me check”
