Chapter 78
Xu Man ah, face a little anxious: “Why?”
They had put a lot of effort into tidying up this wooden house, and Xu Man had really picked it up as if it were her own home
Lu Yuanzheng pointed to the surfers on the sea and reminded her, “You’re the judge! Don’t delay the main event”
He buried his own head and made two notes on the paper
Xu Wen pursed her lips and honestly continued scoring
However, her face was obviously cold, and she could tell that she was a bit unhappy
Only after the two companies finished their competition did Lu Yuanzheng give her a solution
“It is said that there is a psychological expert who is similar to a psychiatrist, said that long time on the island without dealing with the outside world, easy to have psychological problems So he gave a suggestion to let us take turns to guard the island For example, this year our group will be here, next year their group will be here, and we’ll all be on the island in turn This way, we won’t be under too much pressure, and we won’t be completely cut off from the outside world”
“So the higher-ups have agreed?”
“I don’t know, I just heard about it It’s said that they’re considering it, and the possibility of it passing is quite high” Lu Yuanzheng glanced sideways at Xu Man, “Originally, I shouldn’t have told you anything that wasn’t certain, but in our line of work, we often have to leave when the order is given, so I’m afraid that after the higher-ups approve it, we’ll have to leave the island after the New Year, and if I suddenly told you then, you wouldn’t be able to accept it”
Xu Man beamed, obviously a bit unhappy, “I can’t accept it now either”
For others, this is a place they can’t wait to leave, but for her, it’s like a paradise
Lu Yuanzheng rubbed his thumb on his nose and sighed helplessly, “Xu Man, you’ll have to get used to this if you follow me”
Lu Yuanzheng could follow her, indulge her, and even give in unconditionally on other matters, but this was not his call
He has been in the army for almost ten years now, and he doesn’t know how many times he has changed his station, how many small units he has changed, and how many of his comrades he has changed
Initially, he was also very uncomfortable, after all, suddenly changed the environment and changed the long-time comrades to another place, it is inevitable that there will be a few points of resistance
What can you do if you don’t adapt?
Every decision from the top has its own considerations, everything is from the big picture
Iron camp and flowing soldiers, never a false statement
In fact, after getting used to it, I don’t feel anything
Anyway, they do not have much personal belongings, every time they change units or change places, a marching backpack can be loaded with all the belongings, say go
Even if you change to an unfamiliar place, even if you don’t know each other, you are still comrades in arms who can trust each other with their lives
Besides, it is relatively easy for men to get acquainted with each other
Lu Yuanzheng is not worried about Dongsheng, but only Xu Wen
Dongsheng had been uprooted since he was a child, and was very used to changing environments
Of course, after staying on the island for a long time, he would be more or less upset if he had to leave
No matter what, it was still faster than Xu Man’s adaptation
Xu Man was silent for a while and nodded, “Don’t worry, I’m not that unintelligent”
Lu Yuanzheng murmured softly, “It’s just that being too understanding makes my heart ache”
Xu Man’s eyes were a bit sore, and he unconsciously drew a few strokes on the blank paper
Rationally speaking, taking turns to guard the island was a particularly good suggestion that could solve many practical problems
Xu Man especially understood and supported it, but she just couldn’t let go of it
Even if she changed every year, the house she came back to would still be someone else’s house
Lu Yuanzheng heard Xu Man’s breathing sound a little stifled, reached out and touched the top of her head, “At the moment it’s just a suggestion, it hasn’t been finalized yet, don’t be sad! Good boy”
Shi Lei, who had just finished his work on the other side, heard the last word and tsked, “You two should be more or less the same! There are so many people here, pay attention to your influence! I asked you to be the referee, but you’re still here, you’re still getting tired of it”
“Envious? Then call your sister-in-law!” The tip of one of Lu Yuanzheng’s eyebrows twitched, his tone was beaten
“I’m telling you, Lu Yuanzheng, don’t fool around! My wife said that she would bring her children to the island to spend the New Year with me this year!” Mentioning his wife and child, Shi Lei’s face was also warm
“Then you have to let your sister-in-law stay for a few more days Wait for me, I’ll go home on New Year’s vacation”
“F*ck! My wife was only willing to come to the island to visit because she heard me keep saying how nice Xu Wen’s sister-in-law was What’s the point of you guys leaving when she’s here?”
“That can’t be helped! My daughter-in-law is still a college student, haven’t you forgotten? She has to go back once a year to take her exams She has to rush to Beijing before the winter vacation, she has been out with me for a year, doesn’t she have to go home to see?”
Shi Lei: “”
F*ck! Forgot about this
With Shi Lei interrupting, Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen didn’t discuss the topic just now
At this time, it was the turn of the third company and the fourth company to prepare for the start of the game, before the start of the game is still with the other side of each other to put words, and just like the first company and the second company is almost the same, either to wash the feet or socks, how ruthless how to come
Just now, the first company won the second company, after the shore a lot of fooling around
The second company is willing to lose but not convinced, unanimously gritted his teeth and said: “If you have the ability to come back next week!”
The men of the first company were particularly beaten up, arrogantly said: “Come next week, come next week, let you brush your shoes next week Besides, let’s talk about next week next week, you guys finish washing this week’s underwear first!”
Hearing their energetic bickering, Xu Man hooked his lips, remembering something and asked Lu Yuanzheng, “Did you bring out the first company?”
Lu Yuanzheng nodded his head, half-humble, “That’s why they’re especially good! The champion will be theirs in a while, do you believe it?”
Shi Lei heard him and expressed his disbelief, “Our third company isn’t bad either! It’s not certain who will win! Don’t talk big so early!”
He was the instructor of the third company before, so of course he had to speak for the company he led
Lu Yuanzheng raised an eyebrow, “Then let’s compete later?”
“Who’s afraid?” Shi Lei’s mouth was tough, but in his heart he didn’t have a clue, he hadn’t played much at all
But losing can’t be losing
Xu Man knocked on the desktop, “If the two of you want to do this, I can only bet that the champions come out of the remaining few companies”
“Why?”
“Daughter-in-law, which end are you on?”
Shi Lei and Lu Yuanzheng spoke at the same time
Xu Wen shrugged, “There’s no way Who let the first and third companies have leaders who are in pain, and the rest of the companies don’t?”
The soldiers next to him heard Xu Man’s words and chimed in, “That’s right! It’s still sister-in-law who is good and cares for us”
Another one of the watchers put his arm on his companion’s shoulder and probed at Xu asked, “Sister-in-law! Don’t worry! Our Sixth Company will definitely live up to your support and bring you back a championship!”
The others heard and followed suit
“Right! Sister-in-law, we, the 8th Company, will get you a championship!”
“Go to the side, it’s clearly our 7th Company’s championship”
“Don’t you guys grab it, the championship is definitely our 5th Company’s”
There was also the peacemaker yelling, “Stop! Don’t even argue! Anyway, no matter which company it is, it can’t be the 1st Company and 3rd Company, right? We can’t disgrace our sister-in-law!”
“That’s right! Let’s fight for your sister-in-law!”
Others shouted at the two teams in the race, “Did you hear that, Fourth Company? Sister-in-law is betting on you to win! If you don’t knock over the third company, you won’t be able to go ashore!”
Immediately, someone else followed suit: “Do the rest of the companies hear me? You can’t lose to anyone but 1st Company and 3rd Company, or else you’ll be sorry for your sister-in-law’s trust!”
Shi Lei blinked blankly, “How did it cause public anger?”
“You’re an instructor and you’re asking me? Aren’t you usually the one doing all of their ideological work?” Lu Yuanzheng bit the tip of his tongue and was quite proud, “Or my daughter-in-law is well-liked!”
Shi Lei rolled his eyes, “You’d better think about yourself first! If you lose in a row later, where will you put your face?”
Lu Yuanzheng turned the pen on his fingertip with special confidence, “It’s impossible for the first company to lose”
This time, before Shi Lei could say anything, Xu Wen spoke up, “First Company or Third Company! Neither will win”
Her tone was so certain that Shi Lei leaned over the table and probed at her curiously, “Why?”
Lu Yuanzheng also tilted his head to look at her, and although he didn’t say anything, there was also an inquiring meaning in his eyes
Xu Wen smiled sweetly and said lightly, “Otherwise, I’ll think that you two referees are unfair and that there’s something shady about whistling black After all, you both once served as the chief officers of these two companies, so who knows if you’ll show favoritism? It’s different with me! I have the same relationship with the fighters of each of your companies, and I’m sure I’ll be just as fair”
Shi Lei: “”
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
The soldiers in their neighborhood shouted
“Sister-in-law is mighty!”
“Sister-in-law is domineering!”
“Sister-in-law is right!”
“Sister-in-law, there’s nothing wrong with that!”
The men of the third company sighed, “Sister-in-law is so ruthless, this time even if we win, we will be taunted by everyone for being unfair”
However, everyone just laughed and joked, this wasn’t a formal competition, it was meant to be playful and fun
In the end, the six companies won
Shi Lei was still a bit strange and elbowed Lu Yuanzheng, “That’s not right! I remember that Company 1 performed quite well in the final?”
Their third company lost to the fourth company and didn’t make it to the finals
However, Company 1 had a particularly clear advantage and shouldn’t have lost
“About bad luck!” Lu Yuanzheng put down his pen carelessly and glanced at Xu Man with a smile
Xu Man was also a bit puzzled, looking at Lu Yuanzheng suspiciously
The quality of the individual soldiers of Company 1 were all particularly excellent, even if they were new to surfboarding, they were particularly quick to catch on, and their behavior was somewhat similar to Lu Yuanzheng
The overall level was indeed superior to the other companies, and losing was a bit unwarranted
Lu Yuanzheng came closer to her, “Like looking at me so much? Then don’t turn off the lights tonight, okay? I’ll let you see enough!”
Xu Wen’s face abruptly reddened, raising her hand to push his head away, reprimanding, “Be serious”
Lu Yuanzheng nodded, “Okay! Say something serious” He put his pen on the table and reached out to Xu Man, “Mrs Lu, let’s go home for dinner!”
On a hot day, Xu Man’s face was a little red from the sun, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead
According to Xu Man’s nature, she should normally be at home at this moment, lying on a bamboo chair, eating dessert and blowing on a fan
The reason why she is here as a referee under the scorching sun is just to enrich the spare time for the warriors, and to a certain extent, it is considered to help him and Shi Lei to reduce the burden of work
His own daughter-in-law had to feel sorry for him
Xu Man put his hand into his palm and stood up after him
“Where’s Dongsheng?” Xu Man looked around and didn’t see the child
Lu Yuanzheng pointed to the pile of laughing children on the shore, “Still watching the fun there! Don’t worry about him I’ve greeted him, and someone will send him back after the match”
Xu Man nodded and followed him back
She had indeed stayed long enough, and anyway, the competition was over, and Shi Lei would be fine with the awarding of the prizes
Not far out, they heard a series of “fuck”, “fuck!” and “shit” coming from the beach “Shit” and other indecent words
There was also the sound of a company of comrades beating their chests and shouting
“Road battalion! We’re born from the same root, why are we so anxious to fight each other?”
“Fools! Fool!”
“Doesn’t the road battalion’s conscience hurt?”
“What’s the use of talking here? You should go and shout at Lu Ying!”
“I forget it, we’re all men, let’s give sister-in-law face”
“Cut! If you’re a wimp, just say you’re a wimp, less of a flag for sister-in-law”
“Then what do you say now? Why don’t we go to Lu Ying’s house to seek justice?”
“Huh? You’re kidding! I’d rather lose than mess with my sister-in-law!”
“That’s right, Mrs Lu bet on the other companies to win, so what if we let them down?”
“Question, did we put in the water? That was put there by the Road Battalion!”
Xu asked, “”
Listening to the movement behind him, he pondered for a while and suddenly realized, “Did you really blow the whistle?”
Lu Yuanzheng shook his head
Xu Man let out a sigh of relief, saying how could a person like Lu Yuanzheng show favoritism, then he heard Lu Yuanzheng say, “I didn’t blow the whistle, I just gave them a zero”
“Oh!” Xu Wen nodded his head, nodded halfway abruptly looked up, simply could not believe what his ears heard, “You gave them a zero?”
“Didn’t all play, just picked the two best performers to play zero points”
Xu asked, “”
Without good humor, he said, “No wonder they called you a dimwit”
Lu Yuanzheng wasn’t in a hurry and asked her with a smile, “I’m the dim king, what are you? Daji Baosi?”
Xu Wen: “”
After a moment of speechlessness, Xu Wen opened her mouth, “Aren’t you afraid that your prestige will be damaged if you do this?”
Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, “How could I? Most of the people in the company have been friends with me for a long time and understand what kind of person I am They won’t hold a grudge against me for such a small matter Besides, it’s not like I’m hiding it from them, or else how could they know so quickly?”
“Right! The scores were played by the three of us, and the ones who tallied them were also the soldiers under you, so why were you exposed so quickly?”
“I had the clerk give them the score sheet!”
Xu asked, “”
How dare you blow yourself up?
After a long while, Xu Man sighed, “You’re really not afraid of getting your ass kicked!”
Lu Yuanzheng became even more complacent, “They can’t beat me!”
Xu Man rolled his eyes, “What about two people who can’t beat you with one person? What about three? It’s hard to beat four hands with two fists, it’s not just for fun”
Lu Yuanzheng held her hand and kneaded it, still smiling, “They wouldn’t dare”
Seeing Xu Man worried, he then straightened up a few points and added, “I have my measurements First of all, the bet between their company and the company has already been completed, and it’s the second company that washes the first company’s underwear The faces that want to compete have already competed, and the final win is to give some prizes, the prizes are just some peanuts and melon seeds and squash Turn back and call the people home, invite them to a meal, make up for them and they’ll be fine”
Anyway, in such an unofficial and unofficial competition, the winner didn’t have much gold
It was just a bunch of rookies flopping around on the surface of the sea a few times for fun
Xu Man thought it was really like this, and immediately felt a few points of peace of mind, and when he arrived at the doorstep, he suddenly remembered another thing, “Didn’t you say dinner? How to go home?” Should not go to the cafeteria?
“Today, brother will cook for you”
“Great!”
Xu Man was happy to enjoy himself, and after entering the door, his two feet stepped on each other to take his shoes off and ran to rummage through the mini-fridge
Lu Yuanzheng laughed softly and shook his head, with a doting look on his face, he took off his own shoes and set them up properly, and then picked up Xu Man’s shoes and set them up together with his
When he got up again and turned around, Xu Man was already carrying a plate of fruit and homemade milk tea with small ice cubes upstairs
When she went upstairs, she even threw an eyebrow at him and left two words, “Go for it!”
Lu Yuanzheng pinched his hands under his waist, narrowed his eyes, hesitated for a few seconds, and followed him upstairs
Xu Wen had just turned on the fan when she saw Lu Yuanzheng following her, and suspiciously exclaimed, “Didn’t you say you were going to make lunch?”
Lu Yuanzheng folded his hands in front of his body, tugged on the hem of the soul shirt and lifted it upwards, took off his shirt and unbuckled his belt to take off his pants, which he held in his hands for a little while, and placed it on the chair where Xu Man was about to lie down
Xu asked:?
“I think ” Lu Yuanzheng raised his hand and pulled her into his arms, kissed her lips, hooked the mango she had just put into her mouth and hadn’t had time to taste into his own mouth with the tip of his tongue, chewing as he uttered the second half of his sentence, “I can first feed you under ”
His eyes fell towards Xu asked waist and abdomen, lips re-kissed her lips, at the same time, Xu asked to hear a vague “face of the mouth”
She couldn’t care less about blushing, even retort words were blocked by his mouth can’t speak, gasping for breath, only had time to hastily say two words: “Plate ”
The fruit plate was still in her hand
And her hands had begun to tremble slightly
