Chapter 199
A few people gathered together, lying under the night, talk about their feelings, will promote each other’s feelings, also can be deep communication
Dozens of people get together, it will be difficult to let each other guard down defense, will not easily tell each other’s heart secret
Two hundred people together, each person a word at least one hour has passed
So many people in a circle is also a big circle, suitable for a gala not suitable for a slumber party
After eating and drinking, Xu Man wanted to go home
She was not the only one who wanted to go home, but everyone else did
Originally thought that Xu asked to go before so much publicity to give her practice, now Xu asked not to go, the next day will be long, there is no need to be so difficult for their own
Besides, there are mosquitoes on the beach
But, who are embarrassed to say to go home, can only continue to thank Xu asked
Normally, Xu asked to go home, but this is all thanks to her, so she is also embarrassed to say go
Suddenly, everyone heard the sound of a child crying, and it was getting closer and closer to them
Doudou’s mom was puzzled and asked Xu, “Why does it sound like your twins?”
Xu asked, “I don’t think it sounds like your twins” Xu didn’t answer, she didn’t need to
Lu Yuanzheng and his son had already appeared in the crowd’s field of vision
Xu Man was busy getting up to welcome them, looking at the twins bawling in Lu Yuanzheng’s arms, Xu Man narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched, and raised his voice to ask, “What’s going on here?”
“The children say they miss you, won’t go to sleep, and are clamoring to find you Why don’t you let them follow you and sleep here?”
“How can that be? It’s humid and there are mosquitoes here!” Xu Man shook his head, “Why don’t I go back with you?”
Lu Yuanzheng said sternly, “How can that be? Wouldn’t that be disturbing your gathering here?”
Song Boying and the others looked at each other and spoke in unison, “You guys go back! The child is important!”
The twins cried their hearts out and flung themselves into Xu Wen’s arms
The other sisters-in-law also chimed in, stating that the children were important, allowing Xu Man to go back with Lu Yuanzheng
As soon as Xu Man left, Song Boying and the girls proposed to disperse
The main characters had left, so what was the point of gathering?
All the sisters-in-law had a feeling of relief
It was true that they were thankful to Xu Man, and it was also true that they couldn’t bear to part with him, but it wasn’t really a very good experience for over a hundred people to camp together
It was hot on Rainbow Island, and this makeshift tent wasn’t as comfortable as the bed underneath their own fan
Xu Man, who had walked away, looked back at his sisters-in-law, who had already started packing up their things and were ready to disperse, and slapped each of the twins on the buttocks, “Alright! Stop pretending!”
As soon as she heard that it was because they missed her and wouldn’t go to sleep and were crying, she thought it was fake
The twins rarely slept with her since they were young
Because Xu Man was sick at the time, most of the time Zhu Meizhen and Xu Qiushi took them with them
Xu Wen was physically challenged, and the twins were weaned at six months
Now, he rarely sleeps with her and Lu Yuanzheng
If you want to say that Xia Chuxu can’t sleep because of her fragrance, at least there is a point of truth, but the twins are too fake
When Xu Wen approached, he noticed that these two goods just dry howling, not even half a tear, and knew that it was the three of them doing drama
That’s why he cooperated and shouted a few words
When the twins heard Xu Man’s words, they stopped crying and laughed
Xu Man curiously asked Lu Yuanzheng, “How did you convince these two boys to cooperate with you?”
“None of my business!” Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, picking himself clean, “It was Dongsheng who threatened them and Xiachu who coaxed them”
Xu asked, “”
Awesome, will still divide and conquer!
“How do you know I want to go home?” Xu asked again, it definitely wasn’t the kids wanting her
Lu Yuanzheng simply said, “I’ve survived in the wild”
“Huh?” Xu Man didn’t understand, “What does this have to do with you having survived in the wild?”
“I know it’s not pleasant out there, there are mosquitoes, the ground is humid, and the tent is stuffy You’re weirdly delicate now, I’m afraid you can’t stand this offense”
There is another sentence that Lu Yuanzheng didn’t dare to say, it is said that a woman is a drama, one hundred and twenty women are similar to World War II
They themselves will be annoyed
Xu asked: “”
The real estate matter ended up being a compromise for Lu Yuanzheng
As the chief officer of a regiment, he personally went to contact those units belonging to the Rainbow Island office, thinking to discuss the matter of building dormitories for their employees
The result was that each one of them competed with him in crying poverty
Only a few units were willing to contribute money
Those units weren’t really poor, they mainly thought that Rainbow Island had money and wanted to let Lu Yuanzheng take charge of it
Because the reforms targeted not just the troops, everyone had to be self-sustaining
The same goes for many local units, which have to take care of their own income and expenses, leading to a lot of pressure on many units
Lu Yuanzheng also had a few moments of anger
The civil and livelihood affairs on the islands are all under the jurisdiction of the troops is good, this jurisdiction is not direct, just for the sake of national defense and security, temporarily do not give the local autonomy
And to build dormitories for so many units at the same time would empty the battalion’s home base, as Xu Man said
Then what else could they use as capital to go into business?
Even if Rainbow Island didn’t have a financial crisis for the time being, and the salaries of the officers and soldiers weren’t a problem, Lu Yuanzheng was now the biggest chief officer of the archipelago, and the entire archipelago was under his responsibility
Their regiment establishment was not small, and feeding so many officers and soldiers was also a big problem
Those local staff, temporarily inconvenient to live at least have a salary to get If Lu Yuanzheng insisted on building dormitories for them, the consequence might be that all the officers and soldiers in the archipelago would not be able to receive their allowances and would not be able to eat
Lu Yuanzheng weighed his options again and agreed to Xu Man’s proposal to build commercial housing first
Just because he had turned the corner didn’t mean that Xu Man wasn’t angry
Lu Yuanzheng coaxed the whole day, Xu Man only loosened his mouth to agree
It is still a partnership model, the troops out of the land out of people, out of part of the money, Xu Man out of part of the money out of the plan, together set up the first real estate company on the islands
After that, Lu Yuanzheng began to work and live in two places
Xu Man then began to run various procedures and hire relevant technicians
Building buildings is not building bungalows
Bungalows can be built by the soldiers or the people themselves
But not buildings, safety is the most important
And Xu Man will not build buildings, need to hire designers
Fortunately, Guo Jianye has the contacts to introduce Xu Man
While waiting for the drawings, Xu Man hired someone to clean up the construction site
When all the formalities were completed, the design drawings were drawn and the construction team entered the site, it was already a month later
Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Man chose the National Day to lay the foundation stone
Early in the morning, Lu Yuanzheng changed into his regular clothes, and Xu Man also dressed up a little and changed into a light outfit
Lu Yuanzheng glanced at Xu Man, “I thought you would wear heavy makeup!”
Xu Man rolled his eyes, “I can’t wear a long gown for the foundation laying ceremony, right?”
That’s called being an idiot!
Wearing the right clothes for the right occasion is the most basic quality of a modern woman
If you’re carrying a shovel and wearing a dress, you’re not looking for a scolding!
When the couple arrived at the construction site, the site for the groundbreaking ceremony was already set up
The couple arrived at the right time, and soon the host announced the start of the ceremony
First, there was some official talk, followed by the introduction of the guests
Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen were the biggest guests
Then all stood up and played the national anthem
Then Xu Man went on stage and gave a brief introduction of the neighborhood to be constructed, including the scale, what it would look like after it was transformed, and what it would be used for
At the same time, he apologized to the people of Rainbow Island
He also apologized to the people of Rainbow Island for the noise that would be created during the construction
Xu Man also said that when the house was completed, he would give appropriate compensation for the trouble caused to everyone
When Lu Yuanzheng finished his speech the official laying of the foundation stone began
The foundation stone was carved in advance by people from the stone factory and placed in the corresponding position
Lu Yuanzheng hands holding a new shovel tied with red thick flowers for the foundation stone first cultivated some soil, and then Xu Man and other guests in turn to the foundation stone digging soil
After the completion of the ceremony, it was necessary to celebrate with firecrackers and cannons
That night, fireworks were set off for a whole hour on Rainbow Island!
Lu Yuanzheng embraced Xu Man and stood on the balcony to watch the fireworks rain down in the sky
“It’s so beautiful!” Xu Man lamented, no girl doesn’t like this kind of romance
“Not as pretty as you!” Lu Yuan Zheng interjected
Xu Man tilted her head to look at Lu Yuanzheng, only to see his rigid chin and raised throat knots, letting out a light laugh, “When did you become so good at coaxing people?”
“You’ve said I won’t coax people, I only tell the truth”
Xu asked, “”
Lu Yuanzheng gently dropped a kiss on top of her head, “How fortunate to have you as a companion in this life!”
“Then what did I do wrong to be your bosom daughter?”
Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng lowered their heads at the same time
Xia Chu, who had appeared out of nowhere, was squatting next to them, holding the railing with both hands and looking back at them
“I just want to watch a firework quietly, you two have to chatter and show your love!”
Xu Wen: “”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
Without waiting for them to speak, Xiao Xiachu continued, “As parents, love is understandable, but shouldn’t you also take care of the child’s feelings? If I don’t make a sound, do you two have to let me see some kind of inappropriate images for children?”
Xu asked, “”
Lu Yuanzheng hissed, letting go of Xu Man, bending down to pick up Xia Chu: “Where did you come from?”
Xu Man retorted, “What’s inappropriate for children? Xia Chu, who did you learn these nonsense words from?” He also had a set of words!
Xia Chu held onto the railing and refused to let go, “Men and women are not related, don’t touch me!”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
He raised his hand and gave Xia Chu a tap on her head, “Who did you learn this from? What a mess!”
Xia Chu let out an ouch, but her little mouth was quick to reply, “I learned from you two! Every time you two want to kiss, you don’t allow me to watch, saying it’s inappropriate for children
I didn’t want to care about you! But every time you want to kiss, you always throw me out I haven’t seen enough fireworks, I don’t want to leave!”
If she didn’t make a sound, the two of them kissed!
Xu Wen: “”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
Lu Yuanzheng’s face also turned a little red, “You taught me all these words, right?”
“Her last name is Lu! A son doesn’t teach his father! I’ve never heard of anyone who relies on his mother!”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
Xia Chu still gloats, “How dare you try to reason with my mom? Did the fireworks give you the courage?”
Lu Yuanzheng pinches his brows and hard picks up the struggling Xia Chu and heads out
“Dad! Don’t, don’t don’t, the two of us were at least lovers in a previous life, although you don’t love me in this life, you can’t be so desperate! I just want to watch a firework”
“You can watch it in your room too!”
“How boring to watch such beautiful fireworks alone!”
“Go get your friends to watch them!”
“Alright then! I’ll leave if you give me some pocket money!”
Xu Wen turned around and sat on the lounge chair on the balcony, looking at the father and daughter bargaining with a smile and shaking his head
Xia Chu’s personality didn’t know who to follow
Obviously only four or five years old child, ghostly
After a while, Lu Yuanzheng came back alone
“Where’s Xia Chu?”
“Sent next door to play!”
Xu asked, “”
The ambiguous atmosphere just now was destroyed by Xia Chu, and the two people temporarily lost the idea of that
One person on one side, sitting at the round table, looking at the roaming fireworks blindly chatting
“I want to discuss something with you”
“Hmm?” Xu Wen looked at Lu Yuanzheng suspiciously
“I want to change careers”
Xu Man: “”
“Why do you still come back every few years?”
“This time it’s not because of guilt I’m serious”
“Why?”
“Now that I’m the chief officer of the Islands, it’s still the force that has jurisdiction over the place Even if I wait a few years to return the local authority to the local, I’m too old to keep up with this rapidly developing era I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep up with my physical strength and knowledge I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep up physically and intellectually I’ll be occupying the position of chief officer for nothing
It would be better to change careers and simply go into business”
This time, Xu Wen did not persuade, thought for a while and said, “Also wait for the return of the place, you can then consider whether to stay or go, right? I thought the most important issue for you right now is how to ensure the normal functioning of troop matters, but also lead the people of the archipelago to live a good life?!”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
“Daughter-in-law, the fireworks are so beautiful, say this, spoil the fun!”
Xu Wen giggled and laughed for a while whispering in the sound of firecrackers, “You let go of your hands! I will still be by your side!”
