Chapter 184

Lu Yuanzheng’s face at the moment was that of a standard whiny woman
Xu Wen rolled her eyes, “Do you have to be like this? You have to leave after the National Day anyway”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
He said, “Why don’t you leave two days later and give me a ride?”
“What’s the difference? If you say I’ll stay and you won’t go then I won’t go to the capital The two of us don’t need to be sent back and forth”
Lu Yuanzheng stopped talking
He had always been calm and collected
But this time, Xu Wen clearly felt his unhappiness
Her heart ached and at the same time, she was a bit curious: “When did you become so sentimental?”
It wasn’t the first time the two of them had been separated!
Previously separated, of course, Lu Yuanzheng will also be reluctant to give up, but never now so on, a little bit pretentious? The first time I’ve seen you, I’ve seen you, I’ve seen you, I’ve seen you I don’t know how to describe it, but I don’t know how to describe it
Xu asked not know how to describe, anyway, quite rare
Lu Yuanzheng eyebrows some depressed, “from the day of the typhoon I came back to now, it seems that the two of us have not been together to speak properly for a while not even eat a meal alone”
In the past two months, the two of them seemed to be busier than each other
Occasionally eat together, but also hurriedly eat and go their own way
He went to the construction site, she went to the factory
At night, it’s hard for the two of them to go home at the same time, but in the morning, they often wake up together
Either you open your eyes and do it, do it in a hurry to wash up and run away, or directly wear clothes and run away, end of the time to wake up is early or late, can you do it again
If they didn’t race against time to make progress, it would be impossible to complete the construction of so many houses in two months
And Xu Man couldn’t help but be busy
The diaper factory was doing exceptionally well, but in addition to her workers’ wages and daily turnover, she donated all of the revenue from the infrared to the battalion
Rainbow Island post-disaster reconstruction, the country will allocate part of the disaster relief funds, the army will also give part of the financial support, but there is still a considerable gap in funds
Because there was too much to rebuild, a whole military compound, a school building, two administrative villages
Xu Wen paid out of her own pocket to make up for the shortfall, and her money was not quite enough, but a little short of what was needed was crowd-funded
People on the island, whether they were military dependents, part-timers or Mrs Li, donated a lot of money on their own initiative
According to the number of donations, Xu Wen came first, Luo Zemin second, and Li’s wife third
The fishermen didn’t have any money, so they contributed Anyway, the recent Rainbow Island was unprecedentedly united
It’s just that after Xu Man and Lu Yuanzheng’s two families reunited after a long time, the stickiest thing they did was that indulgence on the boat on the night of the typhoon
Other than that, they were like a middle-aged old couple sleeping in separate rooms, each busy with their own business
Xu Wen is okay, about because she has always known that every step she takes, every bit of effort she puts in now is for the sake of the future not to be separated, at the very least in order not to lose contact with the preparation
The only thing she didn’t expect was that Lu Yuanzheng would be so lost
Xu Man thought about it before realizing that she didn’t seem to have the time to tell Lu Yuanzheng about her last trip to the capital
So Xu Wen picked up the important things to say, such as the fact that the three bigwigs all gave themselves face, and the fact that Grand Master Huang even said that he would transfer Lu Yuanzheng to the capital in order to get her on board
Actually, everything that should have been said was said, and the part that wasn’t said was the thing about meeting the bad guys on the train
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
“Now, is there still this chance? How about you go ahead and say yes! I’m willing to womanize!”
Joking aside, what kind of person is Mr Huang?
That is, now that they had abolished the rank system, Xu Man only knew that Grand Master Huang was an exceptionally official four-pocketed cadre
Otherwise, it was estimated that Xu Man wouldn’t dare to speak so freely with Grand Master Huang
Xu Man: “”
“I’ll take you seriously if you do Grand Master Huang can say that his promise is valid at all times”
Lu Yuanzheng solemnized his face, raised his eyebrows and asked Xu asked, “Then do you want me to go? I’ll go if you want”
Xu Man hesitated for three seconds and shook his head
It was Lu Yuanzheng’s turn to be curious, “Why?”
“If you like sitting in an office, you wouldn’t need me, you would have been promoted long ago You like frontline combat troops, and now that there’s no more war on land in our country, you’re going to the sea I’m afraid you’ll be like a fish out of water when you go to the capital”
Xu Man wrinkled his nose in disgust, “I don’t want a soulless Road Expedition! Besides, the purpose of my wanting to make cell phones and satellite calls is to be able to contact you all the time, so if you follow me wherever I go, what am I bothering with all this fuss for?
If you follow me wherever I go, why am I bothering? You don’t know what other people know? All that I’m going to do will be slowly realized in the future”
She was the one who was anxious to overtake the car in a close lane
Lu Yuanzheng was silent for a while and spoke, “Daughter-in-law!”
Only three words, almost like an exclamation tone
It seems to be a heart that doesn’t know how to speak
Xu Wen waved her hand, “I thought we could skip these polite words between the two of us”
What touched, thank you, sorry are not needed
Simply because she loved Lu Yuanzheng and Lu Yuanzheng loved her
They were lovers and relatives
The knot in Lu Yuanzheng’s throat rolled, gazing at Xu Man’s gaze became deep and long, “I must have been a great benefactor in my life, the kind of benefactor who doesn’t leave a penny of his savings to his offspring and donates it all!”
Xu Man: “”
Leaving aside whether this behavior is good or stupid, why did he suddenly say such a sentence?
Xu Wen raised an eyebrow, his eyes inquiring
“It’s nothing! I’m just thinking that it must be because I’ve accumulated too much good deeds in my past life that I met you in this life!”
Xu Man laughed out softly
This love story was truly so earthy
But coming from the mouth of someone like Lu Yuanzheng, it was a little less greasy and a little more sincere
Seeing that his mood was much better, Xu Wen teased him, “Are you that insincere? You said you’d follow me to the capital, but only persuaded me not to go? Are you trying to coax me?”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
He held Xu Man’s hand and got up, leading her outside
“Hey? Where to?”
“Home, to show you my sincerity”
Xu Man: “”
Xu Wen slapped her other hand on his wrist and said in a bad mood, “It’s warming the pot today! If you leave see if mom is anxious with you?”
Lu Yuanzheng thought about it, and could only hold down his heart full of emotion, and sat back down at the stone table, his hand still did not let go of Xu Man, “Daughter-in-law “
“Huh?”
Taking a shovel from the kitchen out of the Zhu Meizhen happened to see the two people hand in hand on the stone table, ah, froze for a second, then turned his head and turned to go into the house, while walking while muttering, “This is old, the brain is not good, what do I want to do to come again?”
Xu Wen: “”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
Both of them were a little embarrassed
Usually, even if they were mushy, they were still two people getting along privately, and tended to keep their distance when they were in front of their elders
This feeling of being seen by their parents, even old couples would have the discomfort of early love
Xu Wen got up, “I’ll go see if second brother and big sister have arrived yet!”
Lu Yuanzheng got up, “I’ll go with you!”
Zhu Meizhen in the kitchen also breathed a sigh of relief, she had wanted Xu Man to go see if Xu Wang and the others had arrived, and this time she went out just in time to see them getting bored
If in the past in the village, Zhu Meizhen will also feel that the daughter and son-in-law a little bit of that, but get along with so long, she is very clear, the daughter and son-in-law get together less often away from each other, can be together less time, a little bit of intimacy is a normal phenomenon
Lu Yuanzheng a copy of the daughter let her ride on his neck, one hand holding the daughter’s small meat legs to prevent her from falling down, one hand leading Xu Man to go out
Just as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw Xu Wang’s two families and Xu Wen’s family of three looking at the entrance of the village
They all sighed in relief when they saw Xu Man’s family, and then Xu Wang complained, “All of your houses look the same! We turned around for half a day and didn’t know which house was which!”
These houses were built in a particularly military style, horizontal and vertical, all the same size and width
Not to mention Xu Wang and the others were new to the area, even small landowners like Xu Che and Dongsheng were having trouble finding their way back home right now
“Uniformly built houses are of course uniform in style!” Xu Wen laughed at him, “Second brother, you should stand at the entrance of the village and yell, so that when I hear the commotion, I’ll come out to pick you up!”
Xu Wen rolled his eyes, “You might have come out to pick up our sister when she yelled, but you couldn’t wait to see me when I yelled!”
Xu Wang laughed, “I’m not going to yell! It’s embarrassing!”
Xu Wen said with a straight face, “Second brother, look at what you’re saying! You didn’t come here on your own, how can I watch you? I’m not allowed to come and pick up my sister-in-law?”
Xu Wen: “”
Not being comforted at all Dao
Lu Yuanzheng took his daughter off his neck and greeted them, “Let’s talk about it at home! It’s weirdly hot here!”
A few people chatted as they walked
“Don’t say! These houses are built quite well! The two-story small buildings are very grand, it would be nice if they had a small courtyard” Xu Wen commented
Xie Dechun said, “When I turned around just now, I saw that a few families have already started building their own small yards One corner of the yard is planted with vegetable plots and raising chickens and ducks This little life is not to mention how beautiful it is!”
Xu Wen was not used to seeing his brother-in-law, and of course he was not used to seeing his brother-in-law, and he was not soft at all in his dislike for him, “Then don’t open a store, and come over to be an islander! I can arrange it for you just by asking!”
Xu Wang slapped Xu Wen on the shoulder, “How can you talk to your brother-in-law? But when you get old, you can indeed come here to settle down It’s too cold in the north, but it’s not too cold here in the winter When we earn enough money and our children and grandchildren have grown up and don’t need us, we can live by the sea and catch fish every day, not to mention how beautiful it is!”
Several people chatted as they walked
When they arrived home, Zhu Meizhen and Xu Qiushi had already finished the dishes
“Dad and mom, don’t get busy! We’ve also brought a lot of dishes with us, so we can eat them after warming them up a little” Xu Wang stepped in front of the kitchen door and shouted at Zhu Meizhen and Xu Qiushi
“That’s it” Sang Xiaoqing put down Chunsheng and followed over, “We went to the restaurant and packed a few dishes when we came, so don’t get busy in this heat”
Zhu Meizhen felt in her heart that her daughters felt sorry for her, but on her lips she disliked it, “Why did you spend that wasted money? Besides, their own family store still go to other people’s homes to buy food more people laugh”
“What’s wrong with that? We specialize in dumplings and Lu cuisine Can’t our family try Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine? Mother, your thinking is too feudalistic!”
Xu Wang rolled his eyes and slapped Xu Wen on the arm, “How can you talk to our mother? She’s used to economizing! She’s used to being frugal, so what’s wrong with her saying a few words about your wastefulness? You’re thirty years old, why are you still talking back to your parents?”
Xu Wen hissed, not daring to fight back but only moved to one side, protesting as usual: “What’s wrong with being thirty? I’m also younger than you at thirty! Besides, I’m just stating the facts, how am I talking back?”
Xu Wen was happy to watch the fun, picking a piece of fruit and throwing it into his mouth
Xu Wen immediately turned the heat of battle on Xu Man, pointing at him and saying to Xu Wang: “Why don’t you talk about her? Look at her, she’s a mother and still acts like a child!”
Xu Wang rolled his eyes, “Xu Wen, have you been doing business foolishly lately? Are you jealous of Xu Wen? Fine, even if you want to, have you ever taken advantage of her over the years?”
Xu Wen: “”
No
When Xu Man made a mistake, he was the one who got a lecture
Adults would say that he hadn’t taken good care of his sister as an older brother
When Xu Wen was complimented, he was still the one who received a lecture
Adults would say that he’s not as understanding as his sister
All in all, nothing good would ever come from being around Xu Wen
Xu Wen ran out of words, grabbed Chunsheng’s collar with one hand and pulled him over, pointing at Xu Wen: “Son, look carefully and remember! In the future, you should never look for a daughter-in-law like your little aunt, understand?”
Chunsheng was only four years old, so how could he understand this? He broke away from Xu Wen’s hand and jumped into Xu Wen’s arms, “I don’t Little Auntie is the most beautiful! Little Auntie is the most beautiful, I want to marry Little Auntie when I grow up!”
Dongsheng rolled his eyes, “You can’t marry my mom!”
“Why?”
In the small courtyard, the adults and children were in a lively mood
The children were greedy and went out in groups without eating a few bites
One-year-old Xiao Xiachu looked at the backs of her uncle and brothers, so anxious that she tugged at Xu Man’s clothes
Xu Man shook his head, “No You’re too young You’re still too young”
Little Xiachu deflated her mouth and cried out with a wow
Xu Man: “”
Lu Yuanzheng was immediately distressed and copied his daughter, “Go, dad will take you to chase after your brothers”
“Don’t chase them I knew it” Xu Che walked back from the doorway like a young adult, with a look of hopelessness, “Women, no matter how old they are, are all trouble”
Xu Che as the “elders” are back, Dongsheng Chunsheng Yuanbao of course must also come back
Xiachu immediately stopped crying, from Lu Yuanzheng’s arms to Xu Che to struggle, “Uncle! Uncle!”
Xu cut humanly hugged Xia Chu out of the door
Why does he have to be the oldest member of the Xu family?
Obviously, he should be pampered by his older siblings, but he has to bring up the “younger generation” all day long
With fewer noisy children, the courtyard has become quieter, and the adults can chat at ease for a while
Zhu Meizhen was too busy to go to Pengcheng and asked Xu Wang and Xu Wen, “How is the business of your two families?”
“Very good!” Xu Wen slurred, his mouth had just been stuffed with a piece of hot chicken, scalding straight hiss
Sang Xiaoqing handed him a cup of cool water, “Eat and talk, no one is stealing from you”
She first looked at Xu Qian before speaking, “With the idea we asked, how can business be bad? We’re going to open a branch in the provincial capital next month!”
Xu Man laughed lightly and shook his head, “I’m just making up my own ideas It’s still you and my brother who can endure hardship”
Xu Wang shook his head, “Suffering was last year The two of them are now the boss and the boss’s wife, and the store employs a cook, a waiter, and a dishwasher Xu Wen is busy organizing the new store, Xiao Qing just collects the money and keeps the books, the boss’s wife’s life is not too comfortable”
Xu Wen immediately disliked her, “You make it sound like you’re not the boss! You’ve expanded that store again and again, and you’ve even taken care of two waitresses You only draw pictures now, and my brother-in-law is only responsible for inventory and reconciliation, aren’t you all big bosses now?!”
Zhu Meizhen heard that her children’s businesses were doing well and their lives were prosperous, the smile on her face couldn’t be stopped, “The days now are like a dream!”
She pointed to a table of big fish and meat, “A few years ago, all our family did to improve our lives was to make a mushroom soup and put a few slices of meat in the soup It’s only been a few years, and all of you have bought buildings in Pengcheng and become bosses! That’s great!”
Xu Qiushi nodded his head, “That’s why they say that children are blessed by their own children and grandchildren When they are doing well, we are also benefiting from it! These days are indeed much better”
Sang Xiaoqing looked at Xu Wen gratefully, “Thanks for asking Ever since she got married, she’s been the one who’s taken care of us and led us to a better life”
When the Xu family thought about it carefully, it was really like that
After Xu Man got married, she first helped Xu Wen build a house, and later brought Xu Wen and his second uncle to Pengcheng to work and do business
And then later on, he brought his family here
There are indeed shadows of Xu Wen everywhere
Of course, Xu Wen herself is even more powerful, is now a female factory manager, business to the country not to mention, recently also busy with the export of things
Xu Wen not only went to the capital to sell before, but also wrote to their own students who are all over the country, let them also help to sell
In addition, his sisters-in-law are also from all over the country, when their men go home on vacation, they themselves also bring samples back to their own cities to promote
No matter what era, no matter how poor or difficult the general environment was, there were always still rich people
Not to mention that the diapers produced by Xu Man were needed all over the world!
Orders came in from all over the world
Zhu Meizhen obviously favored her son-in-law, nodding her head and saying, “In that case, it’s better for us to ask about our good fortune I married Xiaozheng! Little Zheng is a prosperous wife!”
Xu Wen: “”
Xu Wen, Sang Xiaoqing: “”
Xu Wang: “”
Xu Wen laughed out nonchalantly
Xie Dechun inexplicably felt glad that he didn’t want this kind of compliment from his exuberant wife
Lu Yuanzheng was particularly calm, and even picked up his wine and raised his glass towards Zhu Meizhen across the room in a gesture of respect, “Thank you, mom!”
Xu Wen: “”
Xu Wen laughs even louder
After dinner, Sang Xiaoqing and Xu Wang helped Zhu Meizhen clean up the table and kitchen
Xu Wen shared a cigarette with Lu Yuanzheng and Xie Dechun, chatting as they smoked
Xie Dechun older, a bit like Xu Qiushi, the atmosphere of the crops is a bit stronger, more or less still not quite adapted to the fast-paced development of Pengcheng, looking at the courtyard is full of envy, “This small courtyard is really good!”
He pointed to the right hand side of the open space, “This side to get a vegetable garden, and then build a chicken nest to raise a few chickens Tsk!”
Xu Wen rolled his eyes, “How come you’re just like our father, you can’t be bothered to plant? Haven’t you planted enough at home? It’s hard and tiring”
It’s not easy to make a living in the field In addition to watching the heavens for food, you also have to put in hard work and sweat that is not necessarily proportional to the amount of work you have to do
The experience of harvesting wheat under the blazing sun or half-squatting to plant rice seedlings is something Xu Wen no longer wants to endure
Xu Qiu Shi just happened to hear, not good-naturedly said: “You’re called forgetting your roots! Our people is the land to feed Besides, you do not just a few days of business do not know their own last name? Why don’t you eat people’s food, Mr Xu? Did the rice and noodles in your store come out of thin air?”
Xu Wen: “”
“I paid for it too!”
“Then we common people don’t grow food, so go buy one for me!”
Xie Dechun also helped out, “Although planting droughts and floods don’t guarantee a good harvest, isn’t doing business the same? Sometimes we earn and sometimes we lose Doing business is not necessarily profitable even after we have contributed our efforts Planting is practical, we start from sowing, as long as God is not too off the chain, a little bit of watching the crops grow up, the result of a good harvest, a little sweat, but the heart is safe”
Lu Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows, “Brother-in-law, do you regret coming out?”
Xie Dechun shook his head without thinking, “I don’t regret it”
Xu Wen also asked, “Why? You didn’t just say you wanted to farm”
“Because your sister likes being here She hasn’t had much of a happy life in the ten years she’s been with me I didn’t realize anything before, but in the past two years in Pengcheng, I realized that she wasn’t very happy at home Look at her smiling and happy all day now”
Xu Wen glanced at Xie Dechun, it was rare that he didn’t dislike him this time, and nodded, “Count your conscience!”
When Xie Dechun performed well, Lu Yuanzheng became the control group, Xu Wen pointed at Xie Dechun and said to Lu Yuanzheng, “Look at our brother-in-law’s awareness! And look at you! Our brother-in-law surrounds our sister every day You’re good, running around all day, always letting Xu Wen surround you! The typhoon was so heavy, you left her with two children “
Xu Man shook his hands of water from the kitchen out, just in time to hear the interruption Xu Wen, “Brother, you want to urge Lu Yuanzheng changed careers, I ask you who will guard this island? You?”
“He is not the only one who is a soldier”
“All with you this idea, that a soldier are no more, we all go back to keep his wife and children who still protect the country!”
Xu Wen: “”
Xu Wen heart of course is not really think Lu Yuanzheng bad, on the contrary, he admired Lu Yuanzheng, but, Lu Yuanzheng is his brother-in-law, not to pick some thorns he hard
Xu Wen, who was squeezed into speechlessness, rolled his eyes, “The sister who married out, splashed out water! I don’t know who I’m doing it for when I’m the villain!”
Xu Wen: “”
Lu Yuanzheng laughs softly, “It’s still my daughter-in-law who cares for me!”
Xu Wen: “”
Xu Wen rolled her eyes and moved away from them
Rainbow Island has pretty much had the same pattern for the National Day these past few years
This year, in particular, the customs of previous years were augmented by the island’s own party to celebrate the post-disaster reconstruction
But the party is tomorrow, because the National Day is still the day of the condolence delegation to the island
Such a festive event, of course, there is no shortage of reporters
Ding Yufeng’s nth attempt with trying to interview Xu Wen failed again
Ding Yufeng is also helpless, she has been chasing Xu Man for four years
From seven or eight years ago, when Xu Man started to make wind power to now, every time she tried to interview Xu Man, she failed
Not only does she not allow interviews, she also does not allow to write about her deeds
What’s worse, Xu Man prevented her from secretly reporting on her, but also let Lu Yuanzheng go through the official application
Removing the watery official language meant to protect Xu Man’s privacy and keep what she did a secret
Angry, Ding Yufeng almost smashed her desk
She just didn’t understand, what was there to keep secret when all Xu Man had done was good things?
The only time she had managed to get Xu Man to show his face was because Xu Man was the master of ceremonies at the mass wedding
Xu Man brought a bowl of ice congee from the kitchen refrigerator and handed it to Ding Yufeng, “Come on, have a bowl of ice to cool off”
Ding Yufeng glanced at Xu Man grudgingly, “I definitely don’t have any fire if you let me do an interview”
“You’re a military reporter, shouldn’t you interview those outstanding officers and soldiers? What’s the point of chasing after me, a military family member?” Xu Man also wondered why she was so persistent
“They should be interviewed, but it doesn’t conflict with interviewing you They’re the front line and you’re the rear, just as important”
“If you want to be so idle you can go be a war correspondent I’ve read the articles you’ve written, and I feel like you’re making a bit of a big deal out of letting you write this kind of propaganda-type article”
Ding Yufeng’s expression became even more sultry, “Sister-in-law, I’ll tolerate it if you don’t cooperate with the interview and break my heart, but you’re still sticking knives into my heart, isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”
Xu Wen said, “Ah?” He let out a cry, a bit bewildered
It was just a casual suggestion, how could he still stick a knife in it
Ding Yufeng did not intend to explain, painfully finished eating ice porridge a wipe mouth stood up and left, leaving only one sentence: “Before I change careers, I must interview you”
Xu asked: “”
The first time I watched the sympathy show, it was still particularly fresh, but year after year, I really can’t raise too much interest
Xu Man returned home bored, thinking that it would be nice to watch it on TV
Unfortunately, not to mention television, even the radio island often has no signal
Xu Man looked up at the night sky, thinking, when will the country decide to lay undersea fiber optic cable?
Or, if not, you can donate money to the army to install undersea fiber optic cables?
Turning back to ask the magic mirror, how many meters must be laid from the shore to Rainbow Island? How much does it cost per meter?
Lu Yuanzheng was still the biggest officer on the island, and still had to give a speech before the show started, and had to sit for a while before leaving the stage and coming back to Xu Man
When he entered, Xu Man had just finished his bath and was leaning on the bed reading a book
Xu Wen didn’t expect him to come back so early and was a bit surprised, “Why are you back so early?”
“Because it’s about the only time that it can be just you and I at home”
Xu Man: “”
Xu Wang and Xu Wen’s families returned to Pengcheng in the afternoon
There were rare recreational activities on the island, and Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen led a few children to watch the fun
It was true that only Xu Wen would find such a party meaningless, preferring to read books at home
While Lu Yuanzheng was talking, he had already taken off his clothes automatically and spontaneously, and with a lift of his long legs, he got onto the bed, at the same time jerking away Xu Man’s book with one hand and pulling her towards his arms with the other
“Hey!” Xu Man exclaimed, “You haven’t even showered yet!”
It’s not like she can’t run away, as to be in such a hurry?
“I’ll have to wash it in a while anyway, it’s not so bad this time”
Xu Man: “”
Xu Man didn’t have a chance to protest, Lu Yuanzheng kissed her lips after he finished speaking, and his big hand slid to the hem of her pajamas and lifted it up
The two people were still inseparable when the family members watching the scene returned
Xu Wen was startled when she heard the commotion
Lu Yuanzheng didn’t expect her to react so strongly
Xu Man shivered in fear and her body tensed
Lu Yuanzheng was caught off guard and stifled a grunt with a few moments of unwillingness, laughing at her, “Scared like this?!”
Xu Man was so angry that she stomped on Lu Yuanzheng, “I blame you!”
He coaxed her to say soon
As a result, once they tossed and turned for an hour or two, Xu Qiushi and the others returned
Xu Man had taken a look in the mirror after her last shower, and now she knew what she had done with her face, so how could she go downstairs to say hello to her parents?
Xia Chu is still at Zhu Meizhen’s place, so she has to come back, right?
Lu Yuanzheng solid received a bit, anyway, it does not hurt, he took a towel and simply wiped down casually carried pants and blouse on, “I go down, just say you sleep”
Xu Wen did not have the good sense to say, “Or else what?”
Waiting for Lu Yuanzheng to go downstairs, Xu Man went into the bathroom to take a fresh shower, cursing him as she did so
“Dog man!”
Lu Yuanzheng could still hear Xu Man’s indignant complaining as he came up, raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth rose as he lifted his hand and knocked on the bathroom door, “You’ll make me mistakenly think that I didn’t perform well just now and didn’t satisfy you! Why don’t we do it again?” Anyway, they’d be separated tomorrow, so it didn’t matter if their legs were weak
Xu asked, “”
Squeezing out a word from between his teeth : “Get lost!”
Cursing, she still closed her voice
She is just the hardest, Lu Yuanzheng on the contrary, belongs to the one who does not talk back but will do it
A good woman doesn’t tease an evil man
Xu asked out, found only Lu Yuanzheng lying on the bed by himself, “Where is Xiachu?”
“Xia Chu has already slept, mom said, let Xia Chu follow her tonight”
Xu asked, “”
At once, his face burned a little
It’s like when I was a kid, I did things myself, and obviously treated the scene of the accident also thought I hid it well
For example, like after stealing food, wiping your mouth clean and then pretending as if nothing had happened and thinking that adults hadn’t noticed
In fact, her face is cleaned, but there are still obvious traces of the crime on her clothes
It’s just that the parents were willing to go along with her cover-up
It’s the same now
Her parents knew that she and Lu Yuanzheng were going to be separated again, and that the two of them needed separate spaces
Xu Wen even suspected that they were deliberately bringing the kids back so late
Xia Chu guessed that she had deliberately stayed behind as well
In addition to being shy more than anything else, she was touched
Parental love is always like this, low-profile, unobtrusive, but omnipresent
I’m very sleepy, and I’m very tired
I’m not going to be able to get a lot more than that
I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do this, but I’m going to be able to do it
How hard it is to adapt to the sorrow of separation
The two embraced each other and talked for a while
Xu Wen suddenly remembered Ding Yufeng and asked Lu Yuanzheng, “Do you know Reporter Ding?”
Lu Yuanzheng opened his eyes, a pair of eyes instantly clearing up a few points, and said with a wary face, “What did she say to you? I don’t have any relationship with her We just met a few times before, not familiar! And she had an object at that time, all to talk about marriage”
Xu asked, “”
For a moment, he didn’t know whether to sigh at his own skillful husband, or to review whether he was too jealous, and see how scared he was of Lu Yuanzheng
Although the heart thinks so, the mouth is not spare Lu Yuanzheng, “Comrade Lu Yuanzheng, you are a thief? I didn’t say anything what are you in a hurry to explain? You’ll make me think that you’re ‘here but not here’!”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
“Why are you suddenly bringing her up for a good reason?”
“What do you mean, for good reason? Which time did she go to the island without chasing me for an interview?”
Ding Yufeng’s obsession with Xu Man Lu Yuanzheng had also seen it before, and let out a light laugh, “That person of hers is just stubborn, just don’t bother with her”
“Didn’t you say you don’t know her well? How do you know people are stubborn?”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
Lu Yuanzheng decided not to chat, at the very least, he couldn’t talk about this topic that was too dangerous, he stood up, “Daughter-in-law, if you’re not sleepy, we can still do something else”
Xu asked, “”
She reached out to stop Lu Yuanzheng from getting closer, “I’m not competing to be jealous, I just want to ask you if she’s been a war correspondent?”
Lu Yuanzheng nodded his head and let out a “hmm”
Sure enough, Xu Wen thought to himself, no wonder he said that
“What’s wrong? Why are you asking this all of a sudden? And how do you know she worked as a war correspondent?”
Xu Wen then spoke of the chat between the two in the afternoon
Lu Yuanzheng let out an oh, “It’s not your fault! She’s also a person with a story”
Xu Man felt that if someone like Ding Yufeng had a story, it must be a particularly touching one, so he branched out into a listening position, “Can you tell me?”
“I don’t think you want to know”
“I want to know now”
Lu Yuanzheng lifted his eyelids, glanced at Xu Wen, hesitated, and opened his mouth
It was actually quite simple
Ten years ago, Ding Yufeng was also considered a rookie reporter, active on the battlefield with a full heart
It was as if a flower had suddenly arrived in a monk’s temple, attracting the attention of the vast majority of officers and soldiers
Xu Man couldn’t help but interrupt him, “Does that include you as well?”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
“At that time you man I was barely eighteen years old! I just wanted to wrap my body in horse leather and fight in the battlefield, but I didn’t understand the love of children yet”
Ding Yufeng was a few years older than Lu Yuanzheng, and mainly attracted unmarried men of the right age
Among all the heroes, Lu Yuanzheng’s squad leader at the time came out on top and won Ding Yufeng’s favor
The two became a couple
Wherever they went, Ding Yufeng followed them
When they were at war, they always had time to joke around when they weren’t fighting
Everyone made fun of them
Although Ding Yufeng is a female comrade, but also very brave, where the danger where she, always the first time to record the situation on the battlefield
Lu Yuanzheng and their more military medals, Ding Yufeng will be the same more awards
In their unit, she was the best of the young reporters
It was a pity that the battlefield was not eternal; there were victories and defeats
The price of failure is often life
Lu Yuanzheng’s squad leader unfortunately fell into the hands of the enemy while covering the retreat of the army
They were still working on a rescue plan when Ding Yufeng broke into the barracks alone
“Tsk! She doesn’t look like such a sullen person, huh?” Xu Wen marveled
Could falling in love really make one’s IQ zero?
“It’s not entirely her fault” Lu Yuanzheng couldn’t help but frown even as he remembered the past, “On the battlefield, according to international rules, no matter if it’s an enemy or a friend, they won’t harm the doctors who don’t hold a gun or the journalists who record the battle
That’s why Ding Yufeng wanted to take the risk and break into the enemy war zone alone She wasn’t being reckless, she was trying to scout the way for us”
Speaking here, Lu Yuanzheng let out a long sigh, “Unfortunately, not all people are willing to follow the rules, otherwise there would be no wars to achieve world peace
Ding Yufeng was unfortunate and was arrested as well!”
Xu asked, “”
Hearing a tug at his heart, he couldn’t help but follow up, “What happened afterward?”
“Afterward, we only saved Ding Yufeng out” Lu Yuanzheng pursed his lips, seemingly calm words hid a few points of gnashing anger
“Huh?”
Xu Man wondered, then reacted
Saving only one out meant that the other had been sacrificed
Xu Man’s mouth opened and closed, seemingly unwilling to accept this cruel reality
So she changed the topic, “Then why did Ding Yufeng stop working as a war correspondent?”
After asking, she regretted it
Originally, she only wanted to change the question, not to reveal where Squad Leader Lu Yuanzheng had gone, so she could pretend that he was still alive
However, once this question was asked, she still had to circle back to the original point
She was afraid of the answer and curious about Ding Yufeng
Lu Yuanzheng glanced down at her, and was in no mood to keep secrets, “When she was rescued, her mental problems were much more serious than her physical injuries She was sent to the hospital to convalesce for more than a full year before she came back, but since then she changed from being a war correspondent to being a publicity officer in the Department of Culture and Propaganda
Just used to report on things that happened in the army, like which unit had a cultural show, which soldier got another job, that sort of entertainment news”
