After the honeysuckle water was boiled, Ye Zhi opened the lid of the pot. It was so hot in Qiongzhou Island, so she had to drink something cool.

Ye Zhi walked out of the kitchen and went to an empty room where they placed the luggage they brought last night.

She took out all the things she bought in Guangzhou from her luggage bag, including oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and sugar.

There is a store in Guangzhou that specializes in selling these condiments. It is a century-old brand.

Ye Zhi used to love the soy sauce made by his family, and she never thought that it could be bought in this era.

Soy sauce, oyster sauce and chu-hou sauce, which were not available in Xitang Town before, can now be easily bought in Guangzhou.

In addition, Ye Zhi also bought a bottle of glutinous rice sweet vinegar and aged vinegar.

If I can grow some cucumbers by then, I can use the aged vinegar to make cucumbers.

Ye Zhi placed these things neatly on the kitchen counter.

Seeing a bunch of bottles and jars put together feels a bit messy.

I guess I'll have to ask Lu Wei to make a shelf that's nailed to the wall.

This way there won’t be any bumps or collisions. Otherwise, if any bottle of seasoning was broken, Ye Zhi would feel heartbroken as if a piece of flesh had been lost.

She had just checked at the supply and marketing cooperative, and found that except for salt, which had a relatively sufficient supply, everything else was very scarce, and there was no trace of soy sauce.

In addition to some condiments, Ye Zhi also bought some dried goods, sausages, bacon, and some snacks.

Ye Zhi put all the food on the eight-immortals table, and waited for Lu Wei to move the furniture back before deciding where to put them.

There is a lot of food on the table, which is quite spectacular. I just wonder if after we finish eating all this, we can ask someone to bring some back from Guangzhou.

Just now at the supply and marketing cooperative, she heard someone say that there were quite a lot of people commuting to and from Guangzhou every day.

Ye Zhi thought again of Lu Wei's mother in the Yangcheng Military Region Hospital.

Speaking of Lu Wei's mother, Ye Zhi hasn't gotten through to her on the phone yet. Most of the things she bought in Yangcheng were purchased with the tickets she gave her.

Although she has never met her, Ye Zhi feels that this mother-in-law should be easy to get along with.

There was an old-fashioned telephone in the living room. Ye Zhi had not tried whether it could be used, and the phone had never rung.

However, based on her experience of watching TV, this should be the local area communication phone in the military camp, which can only be communicated within the military camp.

Because the military camp is so large, it takes a long distance to walk from the family compound to the military camp office building.

If you want to find someone, you have to run around a lot. The telephone is probably for the convenience of family members to find people.

Therefore, it would be difficult for Ye Zhi to talk to Lu Wei's mother.

Just as she was rummaging through a few luggage bags to see what else she needed to pack, she heard a noise outside the yard.

It seemed like the sound of wheels.

It should be Lu Wei who is back.

Ye Zhi put down what she was holding and walked out the door. She saw a cart loaded with a lot of scattered wood and planks, as well as two finished chests of drawers lying flat and several bamboo chairs, which filled the cart high.

Lu Wei was carrying her on his back, wearing a military vest and camouflage trousers, revealing his well-defined back, strong and slender waist, slightly bulging muscles, and overflowing hormones, but he did not look particularly sturdy. His wheat-colored skin reflected a healthy, sexy and powerful beauty.

Ye Zhi was born in the information age and had seen all kinds of handsome men on her mobile phone.

But in reality, most of the men around me are fat and greasy, or as thin as a bamboo pole.

Some people are very confident and always like to go shirtless, pat their beer bellies and chat and laugh.

Now seeing such a handsome guy with a well-proportioned body and outstanding looks at such a close distance, the visual impact made Ye Zhi's heart beat wildly and her face became hot.

When she thought about how she had slept in the arms of such a handsome guy last night, but had done nothing and slept until dawn, she felt a little, just a little bit of regret.

Perhaps he heard the sound, Lu Wei suddenly turned around, met Ye Zhi's undisguised gaze, and the corners of his lips curved up.

Li Weimin, who was pushing the cart with all his strength, got a toothache again when he saw this scene.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so troublesome. I said I would help Lu Wei move furniture. Isn't this asking for trouble?

But now that he saw Lu Wei's wife, he finally understood why this boy loved his wife so much.

Even a rough man like Li Weimin felt that Ye Zhi, who was so fair and white, was too delicate.

Having married such a beautiful and pretty wife, how could I bear to let her get tired?

Not to mention that I was reluctant to let her get tired, even if I had to do all the housework, I would never complain.

Ye Zhi quickly realized that there were other people present. She bit her lip and walked over to the cart. She asked Lu Wei, "Are all the furniture here?"

As she said this, she was about to help move the scattered wooden frames and planks. But before she could pick them up, Lu Wei took the plank from her hand. Their fingers touched, and Ye Zhi withdrew her hand as if burned by fire.

However, Lu Wei quickly picked up a piece of wood in each hand and said, "These are all solid wood and very heavy. We can do it."

Li Weimin looked at Ye Zhi and smiled shyly: "Yes, sister-in-law, let us do it, we are stronger."

Lu Wei glanced at the servile Li Weimin and introduced him, "This is Li Weimin. He was the one who picked us up at the dock yesterday."

Ye Zhi met Li Weimin's gaze, curved her eyebrows, and said, "So you are Comrade Li. I heard Lu Wei talk about you. I heard him say that you went to the same military academy as him, and now you are in the same military camp. What a fate."

Li Weimin was overjoyed when he heard what Ye Zhi said: "That's right, it's fate."

Ye Zhi's smile deepened and she said, "Comrade Li, thank you for coming to help."

Li Weimin teased, "It's not hard, it's not hard. Lu Wei can call me, which proves that he treats me as a brother. Others don't have this opportunity yet!"

He exchanged his labor for a dinner.

Li Weimin looked at Lu Wei's back and gritted his teeth, thinking: He deserves this!

However, Li Weimin also knew Lu Wei, a man who clearly distinguished between public and private matters to an outrageous degree.

He is merciless in official matters, and is unwilling to trouble others even if he has to.

Those who can ask him for help are all his close friends.

Just like when he was moving the furniture just now, he was busy running around by himself and was unwilling to ask his new recruits to help, saying that it was his own job.

Thinking of this, Li Weimin's resentment disappeared. He was probably the only one in the entire military camp who could make Lu Wei say he wanted to help.

Ye Zhi also had some ideas after listening to what Li Weimin said.

She remembered that Lu Wei bought two kilograms of wedding candy in Yangcheng, but when she was packing up just now, the candy seemed to be untouched, so Lu Wei probably didn't take it out to distribute to others.

Lu Wei was still moving so many pieces of furniture. As a regimental-level cadre, as long as he said a word, there would definitely be many people willing to help.

But Lu Wei only called one of his best friends, and no one else was seen.

Although, this is a private matter and we really shouldn't bother others.

But the military camp is also a big collective, a big family. When help is needed, it is understandable to ask others for a hand.

Could it be, I'm sorry?

Lu Wei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Hurry up, we have to move two wardrobes later." As he said that, he picked up two bed boards and walked into the house.

Li Weimin: “…”

It's too early to say that. This guy Lu Wei doesn't even consider him as a friend. He treats him like a donkey!

The two young and strong men quickly moved the wood and chest of drawers on the cart into the house.

Ye Zhi was not idle either. She picked up some lighter bed frame wood and helped move things.

Both chests of drawers were placed in the living room, and the bed in the room had to be assembled by myself because the doorway was not big and it would be difficult to carry it in even if it was assembled.

Seeing the large pile of wood placed in the room, Ye Zhi couldn't help much else, so she went to the kitchen to wash two bowls, and then brought boiled water to Lu Wei and Li Weimin. Because the honeysuckle water had just been boiled and was very hot, even if they took it, it would still be too hot to drink, so they might as well just drink boiled water first.

The two drank some water and then went to move back the remaining two wardrobes.

This busy work lasted until noon.

Because the newly bought iron pot had not been opened yet, I had to get lunch from the canteen.

After having a simple meal, Lu Wei and Li Weimin started to get busy again.

The rest were all manual work of assembling wood. Ye Zhi couldn't help, so she took some sausages and bacon, as well as Longjing tea, and went to He Jinfeng's house next door.

She had discovered before that people in Guangdong Province loved to give tea as gifts. Longjing tea was a specialty of Ye Zhi's home. It was sweet and delicious, and quite good.

Today, someone helped me at the supply and marketing cooperative, so I should show my appreciation.

At noon, she had originally planned to keep Chen Zhian here for lunch, but later the child said that He Jinfeng had returned home and had already cooked lunch.

He should still be at home now.

As soon as Ye Zhi walked out of the yard where the hay was drying on the ground, she saw a neat row of tall coconut trees in front of the yard. A few children were trying to hit coconuts with bamboo poles under the trees.

But the coconut tree was really tall, and no matter how hard they fought, they couldn't reach it.

Unable to hit it, he climbed up the tree with his bare hands, but after climbing three or four times he fell down again.

This made a group of children laugh.

Ye Xiaoding was also among the group of children. He just came back in a hurry to eat something and ran out again. He was covered in sand, which meant he must have played on the beach.

Lu Wei had just scolded him and told him not to go to the beach alone.

Ye Xiaoding is quite well-behaved and basically listens to what Lu Wei says.

It’s just that children of this age group really love to play. They walk under this tree, hide in that haystack, and are very noisy.

When Ye Xiaoding saw Ye Zhi going out, he shouted, "Aunt, where are you going?" As he shouted, he walked towards Ye Zhi.

Seeing him running over excitedly, Ye Zhi said, "Let's go to the house next door."

Seeing the child's face flushed from playing, Ye Zhi asked again, "Have you finished drinking the honeysuckle water I just cooled for you?"

Ye Xiaoding seemed to have thought of something strange, and frowned and said, "Is it okay not to drink it?!"

"Go back and drink it quickly. It's so hot, and you're still out here in the sun all day. You need to drink more water." As soon as Ye Zhi heard it, she knew that the little brat was acting like a spoiled brat again. It must be because he drank some herbal tea for eczema before and thought that all teas were bitter, so he didn't want to drink it now.

Ye Xiaoding immediately wailed, "Aunt, that thing is so bitter!"

"You haven't even drunk anything yet, how come you know it's bitter?" Ye Zhi looked at him with a stern face.

Ye Xiaoding stuck out his tongue and said, "Anzi said herbal tea is bitter, I won't drink it!"

"No, I won't drink it. I'll tell your uncle." Ye Zhi was too lazy to talk to him anymore. Ye Xiaoding would be a little bit temperamental around her and always liked to act like a spoiled child. The original owner used to be soft-hearted and let him do whatever he wanted in many things, but now she won't let him do that.

Fortunately, as long as Lu Wei is brought up, he will really listen.

In fact, Lu Wei has a good temper.

At least Ye Zhi had never seen how he scolded Ye Xiaoding.

Of course, I never looked down on her.

But it doesn't affect Ye Xiaoding's fear of him.

Well, he has to be afraid of someone at least. If he isn't afraid of anyone, won't he just fly away?

When Ye Xiaoding heard this, he immediately said, "No, no, no, I'll go back and drink it right away!" After that, he left like a gust of wind.

Ye Zhi looked at Ye Xiaoding's running figure and shouted again: "The weather is hot, drink more." However, Ye Xiaoding ran too fast and rushed into the house in an instant. Ye Zhi shook her head helplessly and walked straight to He Jinfeng's house.

Several nearby courtyards are built connected, but the house is not.

To the left of Ye Zhi's house is He Jinfeng's house, and to the right is a three-forked dirt road, one side leading to the beach, one side leading to the military area, and on the other side is another family compound.

The entire military region is as big as a town.

Their courtyard is the last one in this row of courtyards.

That’s fine, I’ll just have some peace and quiet.

Sister He next door is such a nice person, which saved me a lot of trouble.

He Jinfeng's door was wide open. Seeing Ye Zhi coming over, she smiled brightly: "Xiao Ye, how come you have time to come over?"

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "I'll bring something over for you. Thank you for your help today."

He Jinfeng was busy cooking some boiled vegetables when she saw Ye Zhi come in. She wiped her wet hands on her apron and said, "Oh, don't be so polite. Come in. It's too sunny outside. Let's talk inside." Then she took the lead and led Ye Zhi into the house.

Ye Zhi followed He Jinfeng into the house and put sausages, bacon, and a bag of tea on her eight-immortal table. She said, "This is the sausages and bacon we bought when we were in transit in Yangcheng, and the tea from my fellow villager. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

"Oh, by the way, Lu Wei also bought some wedding candies." As he said that, he stuffed a handful of red-wrapped wedding candies into Sister He's hand.

He Jinfeng took the wedding candy and said with a smile: "Congratulations, I want to share in the joy."

As he spoke, he pulled a bamboo chair for her, glanced at the things on the table, and then smiled and said, "Then you don't need the sausages and bacon, you can take them back later. I'll take the tea, my kid loves tea the most."

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "We've already brought it here, so there's no point in taking it back. If it weren't for you, Sister He, helping us today, we'd probably still be busy now."

He Jinfeng was not a pretentious person. Seeing that Ye Zhi had said so, she didn't say anything more.

Then he stood up and walked to a chest of drawers in the living room, took out a few dried vegetables, put them in front of Ye Zhi, and said, "These are the dried vegetables I dried. Take them home and make some soup."

"The weather in Qiongzhou Island is so hot that I can't eat without some soup. Didn't you just buy a piece of pork spine today? It's just right for making soup. Bring it to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for a little over an hour. That should be enough."

He Jinfeng spoke a lot. Ye Zhi could understand some of what she said, but some of it was in Cantonese, which made her a little confused.

But I still understood the word "make soup".

Ye Zhi said, "Okay, I'll go back and cook it later. Thank you, Sister He."

"Let's talk about this!" Sister He looked at Ye Zhi and then asked, "Oh, yes, put a few more carrots in. If you have Qingbuliang, you can also put it in, otherwise the soup will not be sweet enough."

Ye Zhi nodded and said seriously: "Yeah, okay, I'll go buy some Qingbuliang later."

He Jinfeng heard this and went back to the chest of drawers to get a paper-wrapped package. She said, "No need to run around. I'll give you this package first. I have more anyway."

Ye Zhi was really embarrassed this time. She clearly came here to deliver something, but she took so much.

"It's not a big deal, Sister He. I'll just go to the supply and marketing cooperative. You can take this back."

He Jinfeng didn't care about anything and smiled and said, "Why are you being polite? You just moved in, and there are still many things to deal with and adapt to. Don't waste your time running around. Besides, your yard has been empty for so long. It's not easy to have someone here to keep me company. I'm so happy."

He Jinfeng left her hometown and came to the island to build the city. She knows the bitterness of this and therefore especially understands Ye Zhi's current difficulties.

Not to mention, Ye Zhi's hometown is much farther away than hers.

When Ye Zhi heard what He Jinfeng said, she felt a warmth in her heart.

She was really comforted to have such a kind neighbor in this strange compound thousands of kilometers away from her hometown.

It was only after coming to the island that I finally felt a little sense of belonging.

"Sister He, you are so nice."

Seeing her eyes moisten, He Jinfeng continued, "They say that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. No one can guarantee that they will have a smooth life without encountering troubles. Besides, those men go on patrols and missions every now and then, leaving us women and children at home. It rains and blows every now and then on this island, so when something happens, we naturally have to help each other, so that life will be easier, don't you think?"

Ye Zhi nodded in agreement: "Sister He, you are right. If you need any help in the future, feel free to come to me."

So Ye Zhi actually had her own selfish motives in bringing Ye Xiaoding to the island.

He Jinfeng thought Ye Zhi was pleasing to the eye and liked this child in her heart, so she said, "Just help each other. Although I can't speak Mandarin well and have been laughed at before, I've gotten through it all. It will pass after a while."

As she spoke, He Jinfeng told a few more jokes that happened due to the language barrier, and the two chatted for a long time.

Although He Jinfeng said it lightly, Ye Zhi could also imagine the embarrassment and difficulties she had experienced when she first arrived on the island.

First there was the language barrier, then we went from extravagant to frugal, and from Guangzhou to here it can be said that we were back to the time before liberation.

After the two chatted for a long time, the phone at He Jinfeng's home rang, saying that someone was urging her to return to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Ye Zhi stopped bothering her and went home with the dried vegetables and qingbuliang given by He Jinfeng.

When she returned home, He Jinfeng lent her a clay pot from their home, saying that the soup would taste better with it.

Ye Zhi also took it home.

He Jinfeng, who was riding a bicycle, reminded them: "Remember to soak the dried vegetables until they are soft before cooking..."

In fact, Ye Zhi has tasted many kinds of traditional soups and has some experience with soups.

She was very much looking forward to this pot of soup tonight.

After returning home, Ye Zhi immediately did as He Jinfeng said. She put the dried vegetables into an iron basin and added clean water to soak them.

Then she started washing the pork spine and other vegetables she bought this morning.

Because electricity usage is controlled at night, Ye Zhi plans to eat early, otherwise Li Weimin might have to go back in the dark, which would be bad.

Since you are treating people, you have to make sure they enjoy their meal and return home safely after eating.

After the dishes were ready, Ye Zhi washed and cut the dried vegetables, threw them all into the clay pot, and finally added qingbuliang and stewed them together.

When it was time to make a fire, Ye Zhi called Ye Xiaoding back.

He came back with children from other courtyards. The group of children looked at Ye Zhi and then at Ye Xiaoding, discussing: "Why do we have to call Ye Xiaoding every time we light a fire? Auntie, don't you know how to light a fire?"

Ye Zhi: “…”

Really not.

But, can I tell you this?

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Ye Xiaoding knows how to help the elders with housework at such a young age. You should learn from him and be a good child."

Ye Xiaoding straightened his back immediately after hearing Ye Zhi's praise and said, "Of course!"

The fire is now much more efficient.

Several children left in a hurry and ran out in a swarm. Suddenly the kitchen became much quieter.

Seeing Ye Xiaoding sweating profusely while making fire, Ye Zhi immediately poured him a bowl of water and said, "Drink more water in the future, otherwise you will easily get heatstroke."

The kids seemed to be unaware of the sun and were still running around under the scorching sun. In just half a day, Ye Xiaoding was tanned and his skin color became three shades darker, visibly.

This time, Ye Xiaoding didn't complain, but drank the bowl of water, then grabbed the hem of his clothes with both hands and wiped the wet corners of his mouth.

After wiping his mouth, he threw two pieces of firewood into the stove and then ran away.

"Aunt, I'm going to play."

Ye Zhi looked at the bright sun outside and reminded, "You are not allowed to go to the beach, understand?"

"Got it." Ye Xiaoding responded and disappeared in a flash.

He runs pretty fast.

Ye Zhi was worried that he would not be able to adapt to the tropical climate and unfamiliar environment, but she didn't expect that a group of kids speaking different dialects did not affect their playing together at all.

Once the fire is started, the rest is easy.

Ye Zhi plans to make some baked rice with cured meat tonight. Pour two drops of soy sauce on the cooked rice, and it will be fragrant and delicious.

She didn't know how long it had been since she had eaten preserved meat rice. This was cooked with firewood. If she controlled the heat well, she might even be able to eat crispy rice crust!

The most regrettable thing is that there is no small clay pot, otherwise I could make clay pot rice.

That would be even more fragrant.

The remaining seafood is blanched and eaten with garlic soy sauce.

Finally, I fried some macaroni, it was perfect.

Just as she was about to cook, Lu Wei suddenly walked behind her, put a green coconut in front of her, and asked, "Do you want to eat coconut?"

When Ye Zhi saw the coconut, her eyes lit up.

In fact, on the way to the supply and marketing cooperative in the morning, she was already craving for the coconuts on the tree!

She had bought green coconuts at the scenic spot before, and each one cost 20 yuan!

So valuable!

Now she won’t get enough!

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "How do you know I want to drink coconut juice?"

She had been cooking in the kitchen in broad daylight and was already sweating all over. Even drinking a few bowls of water couldn't quench her thirst.

At this moment, Ye Zhi just wanted to crack the coconut open and take a deep sip.

Lu Wei raised his eyebrows, but said, "I took it back when I saw it. I didn't know you liked it."

"If you like it, I'll bring back a few more later."

Those of them who arrived on the island early were a bit tired of this thing.

When I first came to the island, I drank 5 or 6 a day. Now I basically drink one a day. Sometimes I don’t even feel like drinking and would rather drink plain water.

Of course, I’m too lazy to eat the meat inside because it’s too troublesome.

But it’s not troublesome at all to prescribe it for my own wife.

Lu Wei skillfully used a kitchen knife to cut a hole in it, then inserted a bamboo straw into it and said, "Drink the juice first. When you've finished, I'll open it for you. There's still meat inside for you to eat."

Ye Zhi knew this, of course, but she didn't say anything. She took a sip happily, "So sweet!"

Looking at Ye Zhi's satisfied little expression, Lu Wei couldn't help but smile.

So easily satisfied?

Then, Ye Zhi handed him the coconut and asked, "Do you want to drink it?"

Lu Wei didn't say anything, just lowered his head and took a sip.

Ye Zhi said: "Don't drink too much, leave some for me!"

Lu Wei smiled and said, "If you want, there are plenty of them outside. I'll pick them for you."

Ye Zhi glanced at him silently, and tightened her grip around the coconut. She said, "How can they be the same? This is the first coconut I've eaten since I came to Qiongzhou Island."

No one can snatch it from her!

Lu Wei couldn't help but laugh, is there any difference?

Seeing that Lu Wei wanted to drink her coconut juice again, Ye Zhi pointed to the large pot of water on the operating table and said, "There is honeysuckle tea there. Drink more to cool off."

Lu Wei looked at the yellowish tea with small flowers precipitated in it, and changed the subject without changing his expression, saying, "Our beds are ready, how do you want to arrange them?"

When Ye Zhi heard this, she ignored the honeysuckle water and drank all the coconut juice in one gulp. Then she said, "You finished it so quickly?"

Lu Wei hummed and said, "Let's see where to put it."

Ye Zhi placed the coconut that had been used to drink the coconut juice on the kitchen counter, and then followed Lu Wei's tall figure, walking briskly towards the room.

The two walked into the room, where there was already a wardrobe and bed frame. The single bed they slept on last night had been moved away.

This room is the largest, so we asked for a 1.5-meter bed. The bed is made of solid wood, with a frame and wooden boards on it.

At this time, the bed was still empty, just an empty frame.

Lu Wei asked, "Should we put it next to the wall or in the middle?"

Actually, there is enough space no matter how you put it, but I don’t know how Ye Zhi likes to arrange it.

In the dormitory where he lived, the beds were all placed against the wall.

But he had been to Li Weidong's house, and they seemed to be placed in the middle, so he came to ask Ye Zhi.

Ye Zhi thought about it and quickly said, "Move it a little to the left, leaving room by the window. We can put a baby crib there later."

After saying that, Ye Zhi felt something was wrong. The two of them were still at the stage where they would blush just by touching hands and kissing, and they hadn't even slept together yet!

Isn't it a bit too early to think about a crib so soon?

Just when Ye Zhi felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward and wanted to say something, Lu Wei suddenly stepped forward and hugged her into his warm arms.

Lu Wei said in a hoarse voice: "When?"

Ye Zhi blinked her big wet eyes and pretended not to understand and asked, "What and when?"

Lu Wei looked at Ye Zhi and saw that her face was visibly red. He smiled and said, "Make a baby."

Ye Zhi bit her lip, her eyes fell on his sexy Adam's apple, and she didn't know what to say at this moment.

Can you say tonight? Tomorrow night?

It's not something she can do alone, doesn't it require the cooperation of two people?

At this moment, Li Weimin's voice rang out in the living room, "Old Lu, did I leave my pen in your room? I think my pen is missing."

As soon as the words fell, the two of them jumped away in panic to a safe distance, standing with their backs to each other.

Lu Wei glanced at a pen on the bedside table, threw it to Li Weimin who was walking into the room, and said with resentment: "Here!"

Li Weimin almost didn't catch his pen. He said in panic, "Be careful! This pen was given to me by my wife when we got married. If she knew I broke it, she would beat me to death."

Lu Wei looked over coldly and said, "Take it and leave quickly."

Li Weimin cursed, "You have no conscience!" After that, he didn't bother with him anymore and hurried out the door.

The originally ambiguous atmosphere in the room was immediately dispersed by Li Weimin's sudden turn back.

Ye Zhi asked awkwardly, "Isn't Comrade Li eating here tonight?"

Lu Weiyi replied sternly, "He has something to deal with in the camp and needs to go back to deal with it. He will come again tonight."

Ye Zhi tugged at the hem of her clothes and said, "Oh, then let's... make the bed first?"

There was no room for Lu Wei to refuse, so he followed Ye Zhi's instructions and straightened the bed.

The bed was finally made and Ye Zhi was ready to go back to the kitchen.

However, Lu Wei reached out and grabbed her wrist, and gently rubbed her wrist with his rough fingertips.

He said, "Wife, you haven't answered me yet."

Lu Wei's voice was low and magnetic, and when it fell into Ye Zhi's ears, her ears immediately turned red.

Ye Zhi was almost shocked by this man's shamelessness. She glanced at him. How could she answer such a question!

Ye Zhi looked at Lu Wei's smiling face, gritted her teeth, and said, "Whenever you say, it's fine."

"Tonight then?"

shameless!

Ye Zhi turned around and walked out of the room, but she clearly heard a chuckle coming from behind her.

Look how crazy he is.

In the evening, Li Weimin came again, this time bringing a bottle of Wuliangye.

He handed the wine to Ye Zhi and said, "Sister-in-law, this is a gift for you to move into your new home."

Ye Zhi took the wine and felt it was heavy: "Such a good wine, what a waste!"

Li Weimin smiled sheepishly: "No, no, no, I was living in the family compound at the time, and Lao Lu gave me Maotai."

"I can't compare with him, so I can only give this."

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "This is also very expensive, thank you."

Lu Wei looked disgusted: "I don't drink."

Li Weimin: “…”

If I wasn’t familiar with him and couldn’t beat him, I would really want to beat him up.

Li Weimin got angry and said, "I didn't attend your wedding. You are so happy tonight, why don't you have a drink with me?"

Lu Wei's mind flashed back to the conversation he had with Ye Zhi in the room in the evening, and he said without giving her face, "No."

Ye Zhi nudged Lu Wei with her elbow, signaling him to be more careful with his words, and glared at him.

Lu Wei said, "Let's eat. Today we have soup, traditional Chinese soup."

Li Weimin's eyes suddenly lit up. Ever since coming to this island, he has been prone to dryness and getting irritated.

In this military camp, which bachelor doesn’t envy those who can go home and drink traditional Chinese soup?

I didn’t expect Ye Zhi could actually make soup.

Looks like he's pretty good at living.

After sitting down, Ye Zhi scooped a big bowl of rice for Li Weimin, on which was placed a few pieces of fragrant sausages and bacon, which looked particularly tempting on the white rice.

Ye Zhi put the bowl down on the table in front of Li Weimin and said, "Comrade Lu, I'm sorry for not welcoming you well."

Li Weimin looked at the braised pork, pork spine and dried vegetable soup, and some seafood on the table and immediately became excited. He smiled and said, "No, no, there aren't many restaurants in this compound that offer such a rich variety of dishes."

Unexpectedly, this boy Lu Wei would meet a beautiful wife who can cook.

The old man made the right choice for this child marriage.

Ye Zhi asked with a smile: "Where is my sister-in-law? Why doesn't she come?"

Lu Wei said that Li Weimin was married and had two sons, so why didn't he bring him here?

Li Weimin said, "My mother-in-law is ill, so my wife is going back to visit her."

When talking about his wife, Li Weimin also said some more things about his wife Zhang Guiying.

Li Weimin's personality is much more cheerful than Lu Wei's. He seems to be very outgoing and can talk endlessly about his wife.

Especially when he saw how Lu Wei cherished Ye Zhi, Li Weimin became more talkative.

Ye Zhi was listening with a smile on her face, sometimes agreeing with a few words.

After eating a bit full, Li Weimin insisted on having a couple of drinks with Lu Wei. Although Lu Wei was tough with him, he still opened the bottle of Wuliangye and drank a little with Li Weimin.

When two men start drinking, it's easy to never stop.

Ye Zhi didn't disturb them. She urged Ye Xiaoding, who had just eaten his fill, to take a shower, and then urged him to wash and hang up his clothes.

After Ye Xiaoding took a shower, Ye Zhi also took a shower before turning off the lights.

Last night, because there was no iron pot to boil water, Ye Zhi took a shower with cold water.

It was still a bit cold at night and the water was icy, so Ye Zhi boiled some water for herself tonight and planned to take a warm bath.

She took a scoop and scooped the water into the bucket she had just bought today, then prepared to take it to the toilet.

Just as he mentioned it, Lu Wei took the bucket and said, "I'll do it."

Ye Zhi looked at his resolute and handsome profile under the warm yellow light. They were a little close and Ye Zhi could smell the alcohol on him.

Although Lu Wei said he didn't drink, it can be seen that he has a really good relationship with Li Weimin.

In the end, the two of them drank half a bottle.

In fact, the bucket of water was not heavy, it was only half full, so Ye Zhi found it easy to carry.

She watched Lu Wei go into the bathroom and put the bucket of hot water next to the bathtub, then asked, "Is Li Weimin back home?"

"Um."

Seeing Lu Wei still standing there, Ye Zhi said, "I want to take a shower."

Lu Wei took a step towards her. Ye Zhi could smell the strong smell of alcohol coming from him, which made her dizzy for a moment.

"oh."

Ye Zhi looked at him in confusion and was about to ask him to leave, but Lu Wei had already started walking out of the bathroom, albeit a little slower than usual.

Ye Zhi closed the door in confusion and bolted it. She leaned over the door and listened to the sounds outside, but heard nothing.

Never mind, it’s just a shower.

You have to do everything you need to do in the future. Are you still afraid of him seeing you taking a shower?

Ye Zhi added the water in the bucket into the bathtub. Now there was already a large basin, enough for a comfortable bath.

Unexpectedly, when I was halfway through washing, the light flashed twice, which was a signal that the power was about to go out.

Ye Zhi didn't care about doing the laundry later and quickly rinsed off the soap bubbles on her body, but the light went out when she was getting dressed.

Even though she had prepared herself mentally for this moment, the moment she was plunged into darkness, Ye Zhi still let out an unconscious cry of surprise.

"I'm here, don't be afraid."

Lu Wei's steady voice suddenly came from outside the door, and Ye Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, I understand."

Afterwards, Ye Zhi quickened her movements and put on her clothes in the dark.

It was so dark that she couldn't see her fingers, so Ye Zhi had to move slowly towards the door. She didn't relax completely until she touched the door.

It’s too dark!

She slowly fumbled for the latch on the wooden door, then pulled it open. There was light outside the living room, and Lu Wei was holding a flashlight.

"Are you not scared?" Lu Wei asked with concern, and he was almost sober now.

Ye Zhi shook her head: "No, but I won't wash the clothes for now. It's too dark to see."

Fortunately, she brushed her teeth after taking a shower, otherwise she would have to brush her teeth with a flashlight.

Lu Wei said, "Wash it tomorrow. Go back to your room first. I'll give you a flashlight."
