The fire was put out soon.

But the people upstairs are still investigating the cause of the fire.

Ye Zhi took a wet towel and wiped the blood off Chen Fang's forehead gently.

Chen Fang was the team leader of their workshop. When Ye Zhi first entered the textile factory, it was she who helped her familiarize herself with the work.

Every time Chen Fang is the last one to get off work, she never expected to encounter something like this today.

Ye Zhi had wiped her very gently, but Chen Fang still felt a little pain. She said with a look of fear, "Just now... just now I was about to get off work and go home, but... but who knew that the wires in the workshop suddenly started to crackle, and then..."

From Chen Fang's intermittent words, Ye Zhi roughly understood that it was because the aging circuits in the workshop caused electric sparks, which then burned the fabrics in the workshop.

Chen Fang was the last one to leave. Maybe she was too anxious when she saw the fire. When she wanted to put out the fire, she tripped over the piled fabrics on the ground, and her forehead hit the corner of the sewing machine, and she fainted on the ground.

Fortunately, Ye Zhi arrived in time and not only discovered the fire in time, but also saved Chen Fang.

When Chen Fang thought about how her husband had died in a shipwreck at sea, she wondered what would happen to her son if something happened to her.

Moreover, if a fire burns the hundreds of military uniforms and dozens of sewing machines in the workshop, what will happen to the new recruits joining the army next year?

The troops lost so many things at once, these are all state property!

After Chen Fang recovered, she hugged Ye Zhi and started crying again. For some reason, the fragrance from Ye Zhi's body made her tense nerves relax immediately.

Ye Zhi hugged her and comforted her, "It's okay, the fire has been put out."

Chen Fangjing was still in shock and kept leaning on Ye Zhi, crying, and did not let her go until Lu Wei came downstairs.

When Lu Wei saw Ye Zhi squatting by the wall, he didn't care that Chen Fang was still injured, and immediately helped Ye Zhi up, asking anxiously, "Did you fall?"

"I'm fine." Ye Zhi looked at the gray and black marks on Lu Wei's face, and then asked him, "How is the workshop?"

Chen Fang, who was sitting next to the wall, also asked anxiously, "Captain Lu, are the fabrics and sewing machines inside okay?"

Lu Wei panted slightly and said immediately: "We have burned a few pieces of cloth and moved the others out. Don't worry."

Then Lu Wei said, "I still have some things to deal with. I'll have someone take you home later. You don't have to wait for me tonight."

Lu Wei will later take the person in charge of the textile factory and several comrades who put out the fire to report to the division commander. Then he will have to find out the cause of the fire. I guess he will be very busy.

Lu Wei turned around and called a new recruit over, then told him to send Ye Zhi home safely.

Then someone arranged to send Chen Fang, who had a forehead injury, to the hospital for treatment.

Ye Zhi looked at the people busying in and out. There were not only people from the textile factory, but also some from the army.

Although Chen Fang said that the fire was caused by aging circuits, Ye Zhi heard from others that enemy spies often appear on islands, and now that the Spring Festival is approaching, the troops will definitely conduct a thorough investigation.

Ye Zhi looked at Lu Wei and reminded him, "You must be careful."

Lu Wei hummed and said, "I know. You should go to bed early tonight and don't get tired. I'll wash the clothes when I get back. You don't have to wash them."

Li Guoliang, who was about to report, suddenly widened his eyes when he heard Lu Wei's words.

I didn't expect that the usually majestic Captain Lu would only have to do laundry when he got home...

Ye Zhi had obviously noticed Li Guoliang behind her, so she said, "Let's not talk about it for now. Go and get busy."

Ye Zhi was still a little scared after returning home. If Lu Wei hadn't caught up with her, she didn't know what the consequences would have been.

That night, Lu Wei did not come back all night.

After taking a shower, Ye Zhi sat in the living room until the lights were turned off, but she didn't see Lu Wei. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and went back to her room to sleep.

I woke up in the middle of the night and went to the bathroom twice, but found that the other side of the bed was still empty.

When the wake-up call rang the next day, Ye Zhi woke up suddenly, and just then, she heard the sound of a door being pushed open in the living room.

It’s Lu Wei.

Ye Zhi got out of bed in a hurry, then walked out of the room, and saw Lu Wei, who was covered in dirt.

The man who had not slept all night opened the door and saw his wife. A smile appeared on his tired face.

During the early period of her pregnancy, even if the wake-up call rang, Ye Zhi would turn over and go back to sleep, and would not get up until after eight o'clock.

It's only six o'clock now, but he's already woken up, with a worried look on his face.

Lu Wei asked, "Why did you get up so early? Go back and get some more sleep."

Ye Zhi saw that he was covered in dust and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Wei remained calm as he walked towards the bathroom and said, "It's okay. I inspected several surrounding villages last night. I'll go take a shower first and we'll talk later."

Ye Zhi went forward to take a look at Lu Wei, wanting to see if he was injured or anything, but apart from being a little dirty, there was nothing else wrong with him.

"I'll go boil some water for you to take a bath." Ye Zhi thought for a moment and said.

The island is still a bit cold in January, especially in the morning, when the temperature is only around ten degrees.

Lu Wei held her hand and said, "No need, I'll just take a cold shower." Then he went to the bathroom to get a bucket and went to the faucet outside the yard to get water.

Ye Zhi, who had just woken up, felt a little dazed. She watched Lu Wei fetch some water and carry it to the bathroom before she came back to her senses and went to the room to find him some clean clothes.

Lu Wei had already taken off his shirt, revealing his well-defined abdominal muscles. The two of them always worked with the lights off.

Sometimes she would use a flashlight, but it was never as clear as it was now. Ye Zhi couldn't help but stare.

Facing Ye Zhi's undisguised gaze, Lu Wei chuckled: "I'll wash it clean and then show you enough. It's dirty now."

Hearing this, Ye Zhi blushed, "There's nothing to see, I've already touched it."

Lu Wei clicked his tongue, then chuckled as he watched Ye Zhi turn her head and walk away.

Lu Wei showered quickly and came out in a few minutes. He had the familiar smell of mint soap on his body. He felt more energetic after the shower, but his eyes were still bloodshot.

Ye Zhi had just washed up and was about to cook some noodles when she saw Lu Wei coming out, drying his hair and dressed neatly.

Ye Zhi took the kettle and poured him half a cup of water, then handed it to him: "Drink some water first. I'll go cook some noodles now, and you can eat them later."

After Lu Wei wiped his hair, he put the towel on the wooden sofa chair, picked up the water that Ye Zhi poured and drank a little, and said, "I'll cook it."

Ye Zhi directly pressed the man down on the chair and said, "The doctor said that he has stabilized. It's just cooking noodles. It's not a heavy job. Wait for me, it will be quick. After you finish eating, go to sleep for a while."

Soon, a fragrant aroma came from the kitchen, and Ye Zhi brought out a bowl of noodles and said, "Eat quickly, and take a nap later."

Lu Wei saw two poached eggs on top of the noodles and two drops of soy sauce, and his appetite was immediately aroused. He asked, "What about yours?"

Ye Zhi said, "I don't have an appetite right now, I'll eat later."

Lu Wei also knew that Ye Zhi would vomit every time she got up recently, and she always had no appetite after vomiting, so she needed to take a break.

He was indeed hungry at this moment, so he took the chopsticks handed to him by Ye Zhi and started eating in big mouthfuls.

Seeing that he was eating so fast, Ye Zhi said, "Slow down, it's a little hot."

Ye Zhi asked: "By the way, have you found out the reason?"

"The initial inspection showed that the wires were aging. Fortunately, you discovered it in time."

It happened to be the Chinese New Year period at the time, and some people had already gone on holiday. It was also the dry season on the island, and the weather was dry. The electrical wires were aging and short-circuited, causing the fire.

Ye Zhi nodded: "Oh, that's it."

Fires are usually caused by a short circuit in the electrical wires or improper fire management in daily life. However, textile factories have strict regulations that prohibit smoking in the factory area.

It seems to be a circuit problem.

Ye Zhi watched Lu Wei eat up most of the bowl of noodles in one go, and asked, "Is Chen Fang okay?"

Lu Wei raised his head, glanced at her, and said, "She should be fine. She went to the hospital for bandaging last night and went to report to Commander Zhang."

Although Chen Fang said it was a problem with the electrical wires, as the New Year was approaching, Commander Zhang was still worried, so he asked Lu Wei to lead a team to conduct a thorough inspection of the surrounding area to prevent other possibilities.

Ye Zhi looked at Lu Wei who had not slept all night and whose chin had already been covered with blue stubble. She couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It is our responsibility to protect the life and property safety of the country and the people." Lu Wei looked at her deeply, and then said: "Next time you encounter such a situation, you must find someone to help you first. If there is no one, you must also ensure your own personal safety first."

Ye Zhi nodded: "I understand."

Lu Wei reached out and rubbed Ye Zhi's face, saying, "Wife, I'm glad you're okay."

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Fortunately you arrived in time. Thank you, Comrade Lu."

Lu Wei kissed her on the forehead and said nothing.

He didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if he didn't keep up.

Lu Wei drank all the soup in the bowl, then took the bowl to the kitchen to wash it before going back to his room to rest.

But Lu Wei said to wake him up at 11 o'clock because he had to go back to the group later.

Ye Zhi closed the door for him, and after Ye Xiaoding got up, she let him go out to play.

When it was past ten o'clock, Ye Zhi was planning to cook early so that Lu Wei could eat before going to work. While picking vegetables, I heard a figure walking outside the door.

It’s Chen Fang.

Chen Fang smiled shyly, holding a large snakeskin bag in her hand, and asked, "Comrade Ye, did I disturb you?"

Ye Zhi washed her hands, walked over and said, "No, no, please come in and sit down." After saying that, she wanted to take the heavy-looking snakeskin bag from Chen Fang.

Who knows that Chen Fang said: "I will do this, I won't go in, I know that Captain Lu didn't sleep last night and just came back this morning, I won't go in to face him."

As she spoke, Chen Fang placed the snakeskin bag in the pavilion in the yard.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhi said, "Then I'll pour you a cup of tea. You sit here and wait for me for a while."

Chen Fang looked around Ye Zhi's yard. It was really big and beautiful, with many yellow, red, purple and green flowers blooming.

It's not like their village at all. No one likes to grow flowers, and all the land is used to grow vegetables, melons and fruits.

Soon, Ye Zhi came out with a tray with a ceramic teapot and two cups on it and walked to the pavilion.

She placed the tray on the stone chair in the pavilion, poured some scented tea into the cup, and said, "Please have some tea."

Chen Fang took the cup and said with a smile: "Your yard is really beautiful."

Not only is she good-looking, but her yard is also beautifully maintained.

Before Ye Zhi first joined the company, Chen Fang thought she was not very capable of doing things. But now it seems that Ye Zhi handles both work and life very well.

"Thank you." Ye Zhi smiled and asked, "How is the wound on your forehead?"

Chen Fang subconsciously touched her forehead covered with gauze and said, "It's okay, there's just a bump, it will go away in time."

"Comrade Ye, thank you so much to you and Captain Lu yesterday. You saved my life." Chen Fang took a sip and put down the teacup.

"You're too kind. I just happened to pass by. It was the two soldiers from the Sixth Regiment who were the first to rescue you." Ye Zhi just discovered this and didn't really help much.

Chen Fang looked at Ye Zhi's pretty face and shook her head: "No, no, no, if you hadn't arrived in time, our entire building might have burned down."

Especially in textile factories, which are filled with cloth and dust everywhere, once a fire breaks out, it will turn into a big fire in just a few minutes.

If we rescued them then, it might be more difficult and the losses would be even greater.

In addition to providing clothing for military comrades, their textile factory also provides sails for ships going out to sea. Without those sails, how will the fishermen go out to sea to fish next year?

The country is in a state of disrepair right now, how can it withstand such turmoil?

So Ye Zhi really appeared at a very timely moment.

She saved the organization’s property and also saved her life.

Chen Fang said, "This is a small gift from me. Please accept it." Then, Chen Fang took out a lot of things from the bag, including various fruits, seafood, abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin, bird's nest, honey...

There are common ones and uncommon ones.

Ye Zhi waved her hands quickly: "No, I can't have it, you can take it back."

Not to mention that Ye Zhi didn't think she had made much contribution. As a military wife, she couldn't accept things from others at will.

Once it gets out, who knows what kind of rumor it will become.

Especially since Lu Wei became the head of the regiment at such a young age, and his father used to be the commander-in-chief of Yangcheng. Ye Zhi knew that Qiongzhou Island was now under the jurisdiction of Yangcheng.

In order to avoid suspicion between father and son, Comrade Lu Xiangqian was transferred to the Southwest Theater. It was even said that Ye Zhi is still Lu Wei's wife.

There must be a lot of people watching their every move, so she can't make any mistakes.

Ye Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Comrade Chen, I really can't take these things. You can take them back later."

Chen Fang obviously didn't expect Ye Zhi to reject her so thoroughly. She was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Chen Fang pursed her lips, and then thought that Ye Zhi might not want to accept her things because of her identity as a military wife.

Then he said, "Okay, but I brought a few strawberries, which my mother-in-law grew herself. They don't keep well, so it's best to eat them right after picking them. I heard that you had severe morning sickness and like sour food, so you must take this. And this was picked from a swallow's nest, and it's also worthless, so you should take it too..."

"Oh, by the way, these abalone and sea cucumber were also picked up at the beach, so they are even less valuable. Why don't you take them all..."

Ye Zhi: “…”

Chen Fang immediately gave a bitter smile: "Actually, they are not worth much..."

At this moment, Lu Wei, who was sleeping in the house, walked out of the yard and said in a deep voice: "Comrade Chen, we appreciate your kindness, you can take these things back."

Ye Zhi nodded: "Yes, we appreciate your kindness, but we don't need the things."

But Ye Zhi wanted to eat a strawberry.

It is the season for eating strawberries. Because she was pregnant, Lu Wei didn't let her care about the things in the field.

But at that time Ye Zhi didn't have the energy to grow strawberries.

Now, in addition to vegetables, various melons and a cherry tomato plant are planted in the yard, but I am tired of eating cherry tomatoes.

Chen Fang felt a little headache. If Ye Zhi was alone, it would be easy to deal with it. But now that Lu Weiyi came out, Chen Fang knew that she had to take it back.

Because the textile factory and the Sixth Regiment were close to each other, and Chen Fang had seen Lu Wei's coldness before, it was difficult to deal with it now.

Chen Fang said, "Since we have already taken it, there is no reason to take it back."

"If it weren't for you two, Captain Lu and Comrade Ye, I would have been reduced to ashes."

Lu Wei walked slowly towards the pavilion, met Ye Zhi's eyes, then picked up a box of strawberries and said, "In that case, let's take this."

Ye Zhi looked at the strawberry twice just now so that he could report to Chen Fang.

Before Chen Fang could say something, Ye Zhi had already put the things she had just taken out back into the snakeskin bag.

Chen Fang didn't know what to say anymore. After exchanging a few polite words with Ye Zhi, she carried a bag of things and walked towards Commander Zhang's office.
