Chapter 55
Of course Xu Man was willing
After dinner, Xu followed Lu Yuanzheng and a few others to survey the island on foot
The island really wasn’t that big, not as big as their Wei Zhuang Commune
However, it was not a big place, but it was quite rich in resources, except for the comfort of the people
The palm-sized place encompasses several types of terrain, mountains, basins, hills and plains
All around are dense tropical rainforests And lots of wildlife
In the center of the island, on a piece of hinterland, traces of previous human life could be seen, and there was also a lake with clear water, but unfortunately it was poisonous
To Xu Man’s surprise, there is a large soft sandy beach at the back of the island
The sand was purely natural and soft, and the sand was particularly fine
The water here was also very clear
Xu Man fell in love with this place
He thought that when he settled down in a while, he would come here to get a parasol, get a deckchair, nothing to lie here to blow the sea breeze and look at the seascape, and read a book when he was idle
Dongsheng is also very happy, took off his shoes and ran around on the beach with his bare feet
When Lu Yuanzheng saw Xu Man looking at Dongsheng, he suggested to his comrades, “We’ve walked for half a day, let’s take a rest”
He also asked Xu, “Why don’t you go and watch Dongsheng so that he doesn’t fall into the sea?”
Xu asked, “Why don’t you go and watch Dongsheng so he doesn’t fall into the sea?” Xu asked, and walked to the beach, took off his shoes and played with Dongsheng in the shallow sea along the shore
Waiting for Xu Man to walk away, Shi Lei coolly spoke, “Lu Ying ah! Did you look at your watch? Do you know how many hours is half a day?”
How far is this? You’re taking a break from walking this far?
Lu Yuanzheng didn’t change his face, “I’ve just recovered from a serious injury, I get tired easily You have to sympathize with the sick!”
“Do you want to understand the sick or play with your sister-in-law? Even Dongsheng is an excuse for you to coax your sister-in-law If you throw Dongsheng into this sea, as long as there are no sharks, he will come back alive! Only sister-in-law believes you”
Lu Yuanzheng sat on his butt on the ground and looked at the mother and son playing on the beach, the corner of his lips hooked up, “As long as she believes it”
He could see that Xu Man wanted to go and play but was too embarrassed to do so, so he found an excuse for her
Shi Lei is just teasing him, not really mind, anyway, this island also strolled a large part of it, do not delay to go back to eat lunch
He also sat down and asked Lu Yuanzheng: “Where do you think is the right place to build the camp?” He pointed to the highest point on the island and said, “I don’t know, I don’t know He pointed to the highest point on the island and then pointed to the two places with traces of people living there
Lu Yuanzheng frowned
The highest point has a good view overlooking most of the island, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is a good place to build a command post
The other two places, one next to the lake, fertile soil, backed by the rainforest, convenient for farming in normal times, and a good place to hide in the rainforest in case of war One in the neighborhood of their rest, but also before the attack on the island fishermen living place Close to the sea, good fishing, if something happens, take a boat and run away
Of course the running away thing didn’t have that option for Lu Yuanzheng and the others, about as good as it could be swapped out for setting up a trap and chasing the enemy
All in all it was fine
Lu Yuanzheng pondered for a while and asked for everyone’s opinion, “Build two places? The most favorable build the camp and command post The plains build the family building Let’s put this place on hold until the island’s security can be guaranteed”
Company 1’s Song Lian shook his head, “We don’t have enough supplies to build two places, and given the speed at which our ships can transport supplies, it will take next year to build two places Besides, is it appropriate to separate the camp from the family houses?”
Shi Lei supported Lu Yuanzheng, “I think it’s appropriate We can build the camp first, and then get the family quarters when the camp is done”
Several other company commanders were a bit hesitant, thinking that both opinions were reasonable
Lu Yuanzheng insisted on building the family area first
“First of all, we’re all used to living in the wilderness, but the families aren’t The battalion thousands of soldiers, married quite a lot, a total of two or three is a sister-in-law has gone two-thirds, to settle the remaining few, then we simply change the name of this island monk island
Besides, although we are the only ones on this island now, we will have to live here People like Mrs Li will be the first to settle on the island We have to make sure the people live first, right? It’s a family area now, but it’ll be handed over to the local authorities later Sooner or later, it will have to be separated from the camp, so we might as well build it separately
As for the command post, just return the tent temporarily, build it slowly, there’s no rush”
“That’s the reasoning” The commander of the third company agreed, and said bitterly, “I managed to convince my wife to come with me, but after standing on the ground, she followed the ship back, saying that she’d rather take her children back home than come to this shitty place”
“Speaking of which” Shi Lei touched Lu Yuanzheng, “I heard that Zhao Gang and his family had another fight today because of your wife”

Lu Yuanzheng sighed softly, “Xu Wen just came here and doesn’t know about their shit I haven’t had a chance to tell her yet!”
“Then you have to tell her quickly If she lends the book to Wang Ying, then Zhao Gang won’t be able to keep his city daughter-in-law even more”
Lu Yuanzheng pinched his brow, “I don’t think it’s a solution to always drag it out so forcefully, the two people aren’t even on the same path, can they not fight when they are forcefully pressed into a trough for food?”
The commander of the first company spread his hands, “Then what should we do? It’s already difficult for us brothers to find a wife! I’m sure we’ll try our best to persuade them to make peace, but not to break up Besides, it was that Wang Ying who was willing to get married to Zhao Gang, so we can’t say that we’ll kick Gangzi out now that we have the chance to go back to the city, right?”
“If it’s just the two of them, there’s still a baby to feed We all know how Dongsheng grew up, no better than an orphan We can’t add another Dongsheng, right?” Speaking of this, Shi Lei also had a headache
Lu Yuanzheng casually picked a wild fruit and threw it at Shi Lei, “Don’t make up about my son! My son has a father and a mother now”
Shi Lei covered his forehead and hissed, “Comrade Lu Yuanzheng, I think you are a bit too proud now! Do you know who our entire battalion is most jealous of right now? We’re all huddled in tents singing about girls from afar, but you have a wife and kids?
Xiao Xue told me that you have a bride and groom wedding tradition, don’t you? We didn’t have time to go to your wedding, so we’ll make it up to you now!” Shi Lei waved his hand, “Brothers, go!”
Several company commanders looked at each other
This was what the instructor had sent anyway
Anyway, the law was not to blame
Anyway, messing with the groom was a happy event
Together, they pounced on Lu Yuanzheng
Lu Yuanzheng was able to fight, but usually all had the same training difficulty, and two of the company commanders were still soldiers that he personally brought out He had also just had his cast removed not long ago, saying nothing could not do one against so many
Based on the principle that a good man should not be defeated, he climbed up without saying a word and ran towards the beach
Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to run more than a few steps before he was pounced upon
Xu Wen is not so unaware of the importance of the person, played for a while and then shouted Dongsheng back
It is not good to let so many people wait for them, mother and son
Anyway, after settling on the island, there will be plenty of opportunities to come here to play
Xu Wen squatted down, to Dongsheng pat clean sand on his feet to put on his shoes, he also did the same thing, put on the shoes and hold up Dongsheng’s hand as soon as he looked up, he saw a few big men rolled into a ball on the hillside
Lu Yuanzheng was pressed by several people at the bottom
“Dad, uncle what are you doing?” Dongsheng shouted curiously
The several men on the hillside quickly separated, and when they saw Xu Wen they all rubbed their noses and turned their heads to the left and right pretending not to hear
Shi Lei got up and patted the dirt and dust on his body, explaining to Xu Man: “Just now, Lu Ying’s leg cramped up and we helped him to press it”
Xu asked, “”
So many people pressed it?
It’s hard to say without cramps, right?
Lu Yuanzheng sat up, propped one hand back on the ground, and pointed to Shi Lei and the others, complaining to Xu Man, “Daughter-in-law, they’re ganging up on me!”
Xu Man: “”
Shi Lei: “”
Company commanders: “”
All of them had a common thought at this moment: where’s your face, Lu Yuanzheng?
Knowing that they were making a scene, Xu Wen pretended not to hear them and pointed ahead, “Let’s pick some wild fruits for everyone to take with us when we go back?”
There was a lot of wildlife on this island, and among them were some tropical fruits, Xu Man saw early ripening lychees, mangoes, bananas, papayas, and so on
There was also a patch of wild sugar cane
A few people picked some each, took their clothes and pocketed them, inspecting the whole island back to the tent just in time for the meal
The cafeteria is a separate large tent, which has some foldable tables and chairs
Xu Man ate his meal and took the fruits that everyone had gotten back to the cooking class to wash them
Wang Ying followed, “Sister-in-law, did you help me find review materials?”
“Ah, sister-in-law Are you in such a hurry? My study materials aren’t here, they’re in my hometown! I’ll have to write home and have my family help me find them before I send them over to you” Xu Wen heard the sound of crying in her voice and turned back to look at her, seeing that her eyes were also like a rabbit’s, he cared in passing, “What’s wrong with you?”
Wang Ying suddenly became very agitated, “Just say that you won’t help me! In the morning, you said it was fine Now you’ve changed your mind Did Zhao just ask you not to let you lend me the money? None of you are good!”
After shouting, he ran away
Xu Man was puzzled and frustrated
Good intentions to find review materials to you how is not a good thing?
Who has nothing to do with going to college and still carrying around high school study materials?
When the news of Lu Yuanzheng’s serious injury came to her, and she hasn’t been home since then, where can she get the study materials to go?
Besides, isn’t Xu Man himself more useful than the materials?
Just because you can’t lend it in the morning or give it to her at noon doesn’t make you any less of a good person?
This year, there is even a princess disease?
Xu Man’s good impression of Wang Ying was destroyed in one fell swoop
He thought that all sisters-in-law were like sister-in-law Li, who was great in her ordinariness
Xu Man unhappily carried the fruits back to the canteen and gave them to everyone to share and eat, and also asked Dongsheng to send some to Lu Yuanzheng, who had gone to Shi Lei’s tent for a meeting, as well as to the soldiers standing guard on the island
After Xu Wen finished his work, he wanted to talk to Wang Ying, but he didn’t see her
Just when he wanted to ask Mrs Li, he heard Wang Ying’s angry shouts from a tent in front of him: “Zhao Gang, you son of a bitch, you just can’t let me do anything good! Why don’t you let Xu Man lend me the materials? I just want to go to college, so what? I was blind to marry you in the first place”
Zhao Gang reprimanded in a low voice, “Can you keep your voice down? The child has just fallen asleep! Do you still look like a mother?”
“I don’t want to be a mother! If it wasn’t for you taking advantage of people I would have given you a child?”
“Don’t speak so harshly! You married me of your own free will! We’re a couple!”
Xu Man was stupefied to hear this, what is this unfolding?
Mrs Li sighed softly, “It’s a sin! People can’t be too calculating, they end up harming others and themselves”
Xu Wen recalled that when she said she would lend information to Wang Ying in the morning, Mrs Li touched her, and asked Mrs Li, “What’s the situation with these two people? Were you trying to stop me from lending her the information in the morning?”
She didn’t believe that Zhao Gang would take advantage of people’s danger, and if he did, Lu Yuanzheng would be the first to punish him
