Chapter 201
The End of the Entire Text
“Of course it’s to continue wearing these clothes!” Lu Yuanzheng replied, “I still prefer the army Governing places doesn’t suit me too well”
“Then keep wearing it!” Xu Wen responded dryly
Lu Yuanzheng frowned, “But, if I have to transfer, what about you and the child? Will you stay on Rainbow Island and separate from me, or will you leave with me?”
Xu Man tilted his head for a moment, “It doesn’t have to be a multiple choice question If you want to stay together, then stay together, if you don’t want to stay together, then stay apart!”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
Lu Yuanzheng didn’t say anything, his brows knitted up, clearly unhappy
Xu Wen laughed lightly, “I’m not fooling you! You see, over the years, you’ve spent at least a third of your time away from home I think it would be the same situation in a different place ”
Lu Yuanzheng interrupted Xu Wen, “So you’re planning to be away from me? Didn’t you say that you hate long distance?”
It’s not that he’s impatient, but Xu Man’s words were not within his expectation, he thought Xu Man would persuade him to continue to serve in the army and then say that the place where he is is home, or, persuade him to transfer to another profession, but, give up the job of transferring to another profession, and the two of them will go to travel around the world
The trouble that made him mope all the way because of the hard choices seemed to be nothing to Xu Man
She sounded as if she was saying, “If it rains tomorrow, we’ll watch TV at home, and if it’s sunny tomorrow, we’ll go on a family outing” She said, “If it rains tomorrow, we’ll watch TV at home
Lu Yuanzheng was not yet forty years old, and this was at least the fate of the rest of his life
Doesn’t Xu Man love him anymore?
So all the previous troubles are no longer troublesome?
Lu Yuanzheng remembered that when they were chatting, Xu Man told them that “middle-aged couples should be sworn brothers”
He said that ordinary couples in middle age, feelings fade, more need to be alone space door, will sleep in separate rooms, outside the husband and wife home is a brother
Of course, there is also a beautiful saying that love becomes affection
Lu Yuanzheng thought about it, are they considered middle-aged? Not really, right?
At the very least, he didn’t think he could part with Xu Man
“I do hate being separated from you, but is it useful?” Xu Man blinks, seeing that Lu Yuanzheng is getting anxious, she teases him, “Didn’t you say that if you want to be a good military wife, you have to be prepared to be a widow? What’s wrong with that? You’re still not happy that I have this realization?”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
Lu Yuanzheng was speechless, half suffocating and biting Xu Man on the shoulder
Xu Wen let out a soft cry and slapped him on his broad, solid back, “When did you become a dog? Why are you still biting?”
Lu Yuanzheng snorted lightly, “Who let you tease me!”
Seeing that Lu Yuanzheng reacted so quickly, Xu Wen was a bit surprised and wondered, “How did you find out?”
“I don’t object to you being a good military wife! But, being a widow is not your style!”
Xu Man giggled, sighing softly afterward, “It’s not good for two people to know each other too well! There’s no more secrets”
At the end of the year, she even won an award from the army, the Most Beautiful Army Wife Award
Lu Yuanzheng lightly bit Xu Wen again, Xu Wen let out a soft cry and pushed Lu Yuanzheng’s head with a red face
This person is getting older and more unstable, where to bite this is!
Lu Yuanzheng smoothly lay back and gave Xu Man a dangerous look, “If you tease me again, the bite won’t just be that little bit!”
Xu Man: “”
Xu Man still gave in, “It’s nothing! Let’s just build an airport on Rainbow Island! Now that civil aviation is developing faster and faster, it will soon be under local management It will only take us two or three hours to travel from one end of the country to the other What’s more, you’re only going to the provincial capital now, and taking a plane back, it’s less than an hour between takeoff and landing”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
“A few decades from now call this kind of behavior of hitting planes like cars all day long as hitting flying!”
Lu Yuanzheng was silent for a while and laughed softly, “It feels like with you around, nothing is a problem”
Xu Wen corrected Lu Yuanzheng, “It’s not that I’m not a problem! Problems that can be solved mainly with money are not called problems!”
“That’s true!” Lu Yuanzheng agreed, at the same time rolling over and burying her head under Xu Man’s waist, “Then do something you can’t do yourself!”
Xu Man just wanted to ask what she meant by something she couldn’t do herself
The next second she red-faced grabbed Lu Yuanzheng’s hair, bit her lip and lightly exclaimed, understanding what he was talking about
This man
The day before he left, Lu Yuanzheng had an empty day off and asked Xu Man to accompany him around the archipelago
Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Man interlocked their fingers and started strolling from the center island
The center island was relatively large, and now that it was the capital city of the province, it was naturally quite prosperous
It was a bit like Pengcheng a few years ago, with reinforced concrete everywhere
High-rise buildings rise one after another
Because the islands now have a lot of favorable policies, attracting a lot of domestic and foreign businessmen to come here
People like to come here because among the emerging real estate companies, Xu Man’s company is the only one that has not copied the experience of Hong Kong businessmen or foreign real estate
It was because there was no such thing as common areas in the buildings she built
Lu Yuanzheng didn’t understand the twist and turns here and once asked Xu, “What’s the difference between a public share and a private share? The house price is lower if there is a public share There is no public share, the house price is also slightly higher Anyway, it’s all about the floor space”
Xu asked, “It’s not the same! You don’t know that this matter of public stalls will be a pain in the hearts of the common people for decades to come! A hundred square meters of the house, up to nearly half of the common area! Do you know what that means? Spend hundreds of thousands of dollars more to buy some simply can not see and touch the area that can not be used!
Moreover, what hurts the people most is that the subsequent impact of these common areas is for life
Although these common areas will be counted in the construction cost and amortized to the price of the house, but this is a one-time They sell 200 yuan a square meter, we sell 300 yuan a square meter, it sounds like we are half as expensive, but in fact it is not
Their total house price is not cheaper than ours when it’s spread over the area of the flat, for one thing
In addition, all the money to be charged for the property fee, heating fee, etc is based on the floor area Especially the property fee will be paid from the day of handing over the house until the house no longer belongs to you, think about how much money it is over the years”
Lu Yuanzheng did some silent math and tsked
“Of course, this might be a bit of a loss for the property company! But, property service is also doing business When has a businessman ever lost money?”
Lu Yuanzheng nodded, “You’re right!”
The account of whether or not there is a common area is not just something that Xu asked to calculate, everyone does, so more and more people are coming to the islands to buy houses
The supporting facilities on the islands are also getting better and better
Hospitals, supermarkets, schools, banks, and various other daily needs can be met here
In these daily businesses, apart from the state-run ones, the bigger companies would basically have Xu Man’s participation
Even without Xu Man’s involvement, there was still Xu Wang and Xu Wen
The archipelago is so large that it is impossible for two people to measure it by foot, so they drove around the municipal island, arrived at the pier, and took a boat out
With the exception of Rainbow Island, the archipelago was all connected, either large or small, some about the size of a county, some only the size of a village, and today the smallest reef could house a village
This was the result of eleven years of persistence by the generals and the people in opening up the territory
Lu Yuanzheng’s current rank was followed in and out by drivers and the like, so there was no need for him to personally hold up the boat
The two sat side by side in the cabin, looking over the islands one by one
In the past few years, Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Man could be said to have measured every inch of this place with their feet
They knew exactly how many people were on each island, how much farmland there was, how many rich people and how many poor people there were
When they finally arrived at Rainbow Island, there was only a faint glow in the sky
Rainbow Island has also been expanding out over the years, when it was just a town sized road, like a fat man who suddenly gained weight, a whole circle bigger
There was a car waiting for them on the pier
Lu Yuanzheng thought about it, waved off the driver and orderlies, asked for a sightseeing electric car, and personally drove Xu Man
Xu Man was a bit puzzled, “Why do you suddenly want to take this?”
The sightseeing electric car was certainly Xu Man’s idea as well
It’s just that they would rarely ride this now, going in and out were all cars
After all, electric cars don’t protect from the sun and mosquitoes and flies
Lu Yuanzheng gave Xu Man a sideways glance and explained, “I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting older and a bit nostalgic!”
Xu Man: “”
Brother, you’re only in your thirties, and you’re already at the rank of major, and at this rate of promotion to general, you’ll be the youngest general officer!
How did you get older?
Xu Wen’s expression is written on his face, Lu Yuanzheng can see clearly, low laugh and shake his head, “Didn’t you say that when people start to miss the past, it’s the beginning of old age?”
Xu Man: “”
Lu Yuanzheng finished eyeing the front, “It’s been ten years! We’ve spent ten years gate turning this barren island into a wealthy island suitable for the people to live and work in peace and happiness”
Lu Yuanzheng’s sentence also evoked Xu Man’s memories
Yes! It’s been ten years
How many decades are there in life?
Xu Man swept his gaze across his eyes, today’s Rainbow Island was a completely modernized city, somehow even more prosperous than the central island that served as the capital of the new province
Along the way, it was as if he saw the plan of Rainbow Island drawn by Lu Yuanzheng with a stroke of the pen become three-dimensional little by little, reflecting to reality
Lu Yuanzheng did a good job of planning, industrial areas, residential areas, commercial centers, and so on, each area is divided into categories, clear, but also to the future expansion of the Rainbow Island left enough room for manoeuvre
Even if the obsessive-compulsive disorder to rainbow island is also extremely comfortable
Xu asked the door in a trance and remembered, when she first came to the island, she shook her head and laughed lightly
Lu Yuanzheng looked at her sideways in wonder, “What are you laughing at?”
“Remembering when it was raining heavily outside and drizzling in the tent!”
Lu Yuanzheng froze slightly, then laughed too, “It was really bitter at that time! So bitter that even the officers and soldiers who claimed to be the most capable of eating and suffering were a bit unable to carry on! But I didn’t seem to! That’s about down to you being by my side! Even quarrels are sweet!”
Actually, they rarely quarreled
Even if there was the occasional verbal altercation, it was Lu Yuanzheng who first bowed his head and coaxed
Xu Wen was also a woman in Mingli, and there were always occasional times when she was unreasonable
That summer when she first came to the island, there was a time when the two of them had a few arguments because of Dongsheng’s education
It happened to be a rainy day, the soldiers under the army came to shout at Lu Yuanzheng, saying that the rain was too heavy and there was a problem
At that moment, the two men were quarreling, and it was also drizzling in their tent, Lu Yuanzheng hesitated or put down the basin in his hand and followed the soldiers
Xu Wen angry red eyes, with three or four-year-old Dongsheng, the two took a bowl and basin around to catch water
In the end, when Lu Yuanzheng came back, the two of them were already asleep with their arms around each other
Xu Wen half body hanging in the air, because the bed is also partially wet, she gave the clean place to Dongsheng, she can sleep on one side
Lu Yuanzheng went back to the battalion headquarters and brought back two beds of clean bedding
Even though he moved gently, he still woke Xu Man
Xu Man opened his eyes and saw Lu Yuanzheng, arched into his arms, and said, “You’re back?” He closed his eyes again
At that moment, Lu Yuanzheng’s heart was sour, feeling that he was especially not something for quarreling with Xu Man
That was also one of the few quarrels they had, and then the two of them never quarreled again
Occasionally, before Xu Man’s menstrual period, she would become unusually unreasonable and love to find things, and Lu Yuanzheng would give in to her, but he himself gave in, and taught Dongsheng to join him
Xu Wen already does not remember this incident, listening to Lu Yuanzheng mentioned still feel a little fresh, laughed for a while, said: “Speaking of Dongsheng, let’s not transfer Dongsheng to a different school first, right? Of course, I don’t think he’ll go either!”
“Why?” Lu Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows, “It’s not good for the family to stay together?”
“Let’s make a bet? I bet he doesn’t want to leave”
Lu Yuanzheng said quietly, “Betting is fine, but I just want to ask what else I can lose to you?”
Xu Wen thought about it and laughed nonchalantly
He was all hers, so what else was there to bet on?
In the end, as Xu asked, Dongsheng chose to stay on Rainbow Island to learn and refused to follow
Lu Yuanzheng was puzzled, “Why?”
Dongsheng reddened and squeezed out a sentence in the middle of the day, “I can’t let go of grandma and grandpa!”
Xu Che rolled his eyes and exposed him, “You can’t let go of Doudou, right?”
Dongsheng: “”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
He looked at Xu Man, who nodded
Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen were no longer farming, too old to do such heavy work
“Ask” Xu Qiushi suggested, “This year, let’s go back to Wei Zhuang for the New Year?”
Zhu Meizhen nodded, “Yes, let’s go back and have a look around When you’re old, you love your home!”
Xu Man and Lu Yuanzheng looked at each other, Lu Yuanzheng nodded, and Xu Man responded, “Good!”
Lu Yuanzheng was transferred to the military region command, promoted to an official position, and had more to do
This time, the house he was assigned in the compound was a small two-story building with a single door
There are specialists in charge of logistics, cleaning and transportation of children, which do not require the intervention of Xu Man
Originally, Xu Man thought that his family was not short of money, he could hire his own nanny, so as to save money for the country, but was stopped by Lu Yuanzheng
The nannies here have also gone through three generations of political scrutiny
Xu Man: “”
Probably about this was a gathering place for commanders of military districts, and the level of secrecy was much stricter than Rainbow Island
Xu Wen is used to being free and loose, and is a bit uncomfortable with such strict control, plus her husband and children don’t need her to worry about them, so she often finds excuses to run away
In fact, there is no place to go, every year the road expedition vacation, the family will go out to travel, the place to go, want to go to the place have been
In the end, Xu Wen simply flew back to the province where Wei Zhuang is located, and returned to his hometown on his own
They hadn’t been back for a few years, and Wei Zhuang’s old house was already in disrepair
Given that Xu Qiushi was coming back for New Year’s Eve this year, Xu Man found someone to refurbish the old house again, and also buried a fireplace in the wall
During the New Year, everyone in the Xu family returned to Wei Zhuang
Including Xu Che, who is studying in the capital
Weizhuang now changes quite a lot, now six street business people can be fair and square stalls
Don’t look at Wei Zhuang town is not big, but the sparrow is small, everything you need is here
Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen have been lamenting the great changes, but even greater is the hometown, it is inevitable to have a little bit of affection
Seeing the restored old house, Xu Qiushi glanced at Xu Man and complimented her, “You’ve got heart!”
Knowing that they were fond of the old, Xu Wen didn’t rebuild the house, nor did she change the layout and furnishings in the room doors, only replacing some of the furniture that had already decayed, but still playing it as it was
Xu Man and Lu Yuanzheng did not return home, the home is too cold
Xu Man simply bought a house in Wei Zhuang as well, and anyway, with a car, it is convenient to go anywhere
The twins came to Wei Zhuang for the first time, very fresh, and quickly made new friends in Taoyuan Village
Although Xia Chu is not the first time to come, but at that time she is too small without memory, with the first time to come no difference
The first day she arrived, Xia Chu was extremely rejected, disliked the Taoyuan Village dirty, disliked the Xu family’s dry toilet, crying and wanting to go back
But Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen spoiled her when they should, and didn’t spoil her when they shouldn’t This kind of thing is not spoiled, so it’s not spoiled
This kind of thing is not spoiled, so they let Xia Chu cry
The neighbor’s little girl ran over when she heard the commotion and took the initiative to show her affection towards Xiachu
Children, by nature, love to play, adaptability is also good
In less than three days, Xiachu little princess will be completely integrated into the village, in addition to the village than the village children white some, already can not see the difference
All day long with the village children to mix together, shuttlecock hide-and-seek jumping ribbons, play a lot of fun
The twins are similar, following the boys’ lead
The twins were similar, following the boys, playing, going to the river to skate, every day is also covered in mud before coming back
It’s New Year’s Eve in the blink of an eye
At noon when we eat the New Year’s dinner how can not find the four children
Xu Man is ready to borrow the village loudspeaker to call people, Chunsheng said: “Dongsheng brother said, to see your love place”
Xu Man: “”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
Xu Man and Lu Yuanzheng held hands and walked all the way to the cemetery where Xu Man had herded sheep
As expected, they saw four children standing by the pond from afar
When they got closer, they heard Dongsheng describing in vivid colors, “This is where Dad and I saw Mom! Mom was swimming here, and dad thought mom was drowning and jumped in to save her, and was also slapped by mom as a pervert ”
Xu asked, “”
Lu Yuanzheng was thick-skinned and listened attentively, and also commented, “I didn’t expect this kid to have such a good memory! He still remembers things that happened more than ten years ago!”
Xu Wen swept his gaze down and sighed softly, “Speaking of which, this fixation place is not good!”
They first met here
Lu Yuanzheng’s first proposal was also here
And this place was a graveyard!!!
Without saying a word, Lu Yuanzheng pulled Xu Wen and headed back
“Where to? Didn’t you come to call the kids for dinner?”
“They’ll go back on their own! Let’s go home and I’ll propose all over again!”
Xu Man: “”
She slapped away Lu Yuanzheng’s hand and rolled her eyes, “The children are all four, why do you still propose? If you propose again, the first time will all be here”
Saying so, she shouted towards the four children studying on the pond, “It’s time to go home and eat!”
The four children heard Xu Wen’s voice and turned back to run in response at the same time
Xia Chu started shouting from a distance, “Dad, did you really propose to mom here? Why did you pick this place! Where all the dead people live?”
The twins, on the other hand, said in unison, “Mom, wasn’t dad especially handsome when he saved you? Is that when you fell in love with each other?”
Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng glanced at each other and nodded with a smile
Lu Yuanzheng spoke, “It doesn’t matter how we met or where we proposed What matters is that your mom is the one I want to spend my life with!”
Xu Man also laughed, “In a lover’s eyes, everywhere is a holy place to propose, and he’s the most handsome no matter what!”
