After buying the butter cakes, Lu Wei wanted to go around and buy some other long-lasting items.

He remembered that in addition to butter cakes, brown sugar twisted dough sticks and corn sesame candy were also very famous here, and these were more durable than butter cakes. In addition, you need to buy some lotus root powder. I heard that lotus root powder can strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite. The weather in Qiongzhou Island is expected to get hot in two months. Hot weather can easily affect the appetite. It is better to prepare some so that his wife can eat it when the time comes.

Just as Lu Wei turned around and was about to go to the next store, he saw Ye Hongying carrying a basket, seemingly preparing to buy vegetables.

Lu Wei only glanced at her, then looked away and walked away, not intending to pay any attention to her.

Ye Hongying was stunned. She had experienced this man's indifference in her previous life.

But I didn't expect that I would be ignored by him in this life!

It is conceivable how miserable Ye Zhi's life would be if she married him. Can you expect such a man to love his wife and children?

Thinking about what Lu Wei said in his previous life that feudal marriage was not desirable, I guess he was forced by his elders to marry Ye Zhi in this life, right?

Although Gao Wenbo was not very attentive to her, Ye Hongying felt much more comfortable in comparison.

From childhood to adulthood, she has never defeated Ye Zhi. This time, in this important event of life, why shouldn't she be able to win for once?

Ye Hongying looked at Lu Wei's figure striding forward and couldn't help but shout, "Comrade Lu!"

Lu Wei paused, glanced at her sideways, but did not speak.

When Ye Hongying met Lu Wei's cold gaze, she suddenly felt a little uneasy and subconsciously wanted to retreat.

But thinking of Ye Zhi, she still stepped forward with the basket and asked politely, "Why are you here? When did you come to Xitang Town?"

Lu Wei frowned and asked directly: "What does it have to do with you?"

From the few conversations Ye Zhi had with him, he knew that her relationship with Ye Hongying in front of him was not that good.

And how could Lu Wei forget that Ye Hongying's mother came to discredit Ye Zhi's reputation?

Ye Hongying on the other side suddenly showed an embarrassed expression and was also very annoyed!

But she still held back her temper and said, "I...wasn't this the moment I wanted to ask you, how is Ye Zhi doing now? I heard she's pregnant with twins, right?"

Lu Wei said calmly, "Since you know this, then don't write to her anymore, lest she get upset."

After saying that, Lu Wei didn't want to pay any more attention to her and just raised his leg to leave.

Ye Hongying on the other end of the line had never expected that Lu Wei would say this. Her mind was full of question marks. What on earth did Lu Wei mean by this?

She wrote a letter to Ye Zhi and it caused her to have a miscarriage?

Did Ye Zhi say nonsense and slander Lu Wei after receiving the letter?

So Ye Zhi not only secretly complained to Gao Wenbo, but also deliberately said bad things about her in front of Lu Wei?

Ye Hongying was a little puzzled, but when she saw that Lu Weili ignored her, she subconsciously called him and said, "Comrade Lu, do you know what your wife did?"

Seeing that Lu Wei had indeed stopped, Ye Hongying walked towards him and said, "Comrade Lu, don't say I didn't tell you. Before Ye Zhi married you, she often showed her affection to my Wenbo. It was only after my man rejected her that she agreed to marry you."

"so what?"

Lu Wei glanced at her coldly, as if waiting for her to continue.

Ye Hongying was not very tall to begin with. Now she was standing in front of Lu Wei, looking at him with her head held high. Facing Lu Wei's cold eyes, Ye Hongying swallowed subconsciously, her voice as small as a mosquito: "She...she secretly contacted my man again and wrote a letter to my man!"

Lu Wei is obviously very handsome, but for some reason, he makes people feel so creepy when he looks at people.

Seeing that Lu Wei was still indifferent, Ye Hongying asked anxiously: "You...Comrade Lu, don't you care?"

Lu Wei smiled coldly, looked at her and warned: "Care? Of course I care."

"You insulted the wife of a soldier, you insulted my wife. Do you know the consequences of destroying a military marriage?"

After saying this, Ye Hongying's face turned pale instantly, and she murmured, "W-what?"

At this time, a thin figure walked over quickly on the street and slapped Ye Hongying in the face: "Ye Hongying, are you crazy? What the hell are you talking about?"

Gao Wenbo just thought he had mistaken someone, but he didn't expect it to be Lu Wei.

Who knew that before he could go up to say hello, he heard Ye Hongying saying a lot of crazy words.

What you said about Ye Zhi secretly writing a letter to him, any man who heard it would be so angry that he would kill you.

So when he heard Lu Wei say those words, Gao Wenbo gave Ye Hongying a lesson without thinking.

Gao Wenbo raised his chin slightly, looked at Lu Wei, who was taller than him, and said, "Comrade Lu, my wife is talking nonsense, please don't mind it, it's my fault."

If Ye Hongying was not his nominal wife, Gao Wenbo would never have felt sorry for such a person.

But if something happens to Ye Hongying, his work and reputation will also be affected. No matter what, he must come forward to protect her today.

It wasn't because he loved her, but because he didn't want her ignorant behavior to affect his development.

Especially when he met Lu Wei's cold eyes, he knew that Lu Wei would do anything and show no mercy.

Gao Wenbo pulled Ye Hongying's arm and said through gritted teeth: "Hongying, apologize to Comrade Lu immediately!"

Ye Hongying had just been slapped by Gao Wenbo, and now her face was burning with pain.

She was angry that Gao Wenbo hit her in public, and she was even more angry at Lu Wei's stubbornness and his unconditional trust in Ye Zhi!

But Gao Wenbo pinched her arm as if he had used up all his strength, causing her to shed tears in pain, and for a moment her throat seemed to be unable to utter a word.

Lu Wei glanced at Ye Hongying, then looked away and said to Gao Wenbo, "There's no need to apologize. Adults should be responsible for the mistakes they make." After that, Lu Wei turned around and left.

Gao Wenbo didn't know what Lu Wei meant, but he subconsciously grabbed Lu Wei's arm and said, "Comrade Lu, please give me some face and stop arguing with a woman."

The implication is that Lu Wei, a grown man, actually cares about a few words from a woman.

Lu Wei looked at Gao Wenbo's hand that was grabbing his arm, then he turned sideways and broke free from him, frowning and saying, "Comrade Gao, 'woman' is not an excuse for her to escape the consequences of spreading rumors."

After saying that, Lu Wei really didn't bother with them this time.

Gao Wenbo suddenly felt a little discouraged. He didn't know what to say for a moment, nor did he know what Lu Wei would do.

However, Ye Hongying on this side suddenly started crying and shouted "It hurts, it hurts".

Not long after, two patrolmen wearing red armbands came over, said a few words, and took Ye Hongying away.

Ye Hongying was really scared this time. She had thought of countless possibilities, but she didn't expect Lu Wei to deny her words so directly.

Does he trust Ye Zhi so much?

Lu Wei from my previous life suddenly popped up in my mind. He seemed to be so heartless and cold-blooded back then!

She waved her hands and explained to the two patrolmen: "Why are you arresting me? I didn't do anything! Let me go--"

But one of the patrolmen directly restrained her and scolded her: "Shut up, come back to the commune with me and we can talk slowly!" Then he took the person forward.

It was not until the evening that Gao Wenbo took Ye Hongying, who had been criticized for the entire afternoon, back home.

Along the way, Gao Wenbo faced the gazes of people on the street and inexplicably felt that their eyes were laughing at him.

—Laughed at his poor vision, laughed at him for not taking good care of his wife, laughed at him for being an engineer with a gossipy woman...

As soon as she got home, Ye Hongying locked herself in her room. No matter how crazy or noisy the children were, she did not come out of the room.

Gao Wenbo ignored her, asked the children to go to the cafeteria to eat, and then went back to the office to stay overnight.

Lu Wei was about to drive away from Xitang Town that night.

During the meal, Lu Wei specifically mentioned Ye Hongying's matter to Ye Zhi's family.

Zhang Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, but she also felt that Ye Hongying and her daughter should be taught a lesson. This time, Lu Wei only asked the leaders of the commune to criticize her, and because of their relationship, he did not let her embarrass herself in front of the people in the town.

If she was sensible, she should control her mouth instead of forgetting her lesson and talking behind their backs.

However, Zhang Xiaomei did not expect Lu Wei to protect his daughter so much, and she felt relieved.

Although she hadn't seen her daughter for a long time and didn't know how she was doing now, Lu Wei also said that she came in a hurry and didn't have any photos of Ye Zhi or anything.

But from today's conversation with Ye Zhi, she knew that her daughter was doing well now, and Lu Wei was a reliable man, so Ye Zhi felt relieved to entrust her to him.

Lu Wei thought for a moment and said, "Mom and Dad, if Ye Hongying and her mother cause you trouble because of this, remember to telegraph or call me."

Although he was not in Xitang Town, he specially left the phone number of the commune chief today in case he really wanted to cause trouble.

This time, Lu Wei will not show mercy.

Zhang Xiaomei said, "Yes, mother knows."

Zhang Xiaomei didn't take Ye Hongying and her daughter seriously. Even if they really wanted to cause trouble, Zhang Xiaomei could handle it herself.

After a pause, Zhang Xiaomei continued, "Lu Wei, Mom can't take care of Ye Zhi anymore, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of her a little longer."

Zhang Xiaomei knew that Lu Wei's parents were soldiers and doctors, and they definitely didn't have time to take care of Ye Zhi.

Even though Lu Wei is often on missions, I'm afraid he won't be able to take care of much.

But Lu Wei just said that after a while, Lu Wei's mother will arrange someone to go to the island to take care of Ye Zhi.

That works too.

At least there is someone with more experience to lend a hand.

Lu Wei pondered for a while, then asked, "Mom, I came here this time to ask you for something."

Zhang Xiaomei was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter? We are all family, why are you being so polite? Just tell me."

Lu Wei said, "I talked to my mother on the phone, and she said that Chen's daughter-in-law recently found out she was pregnant, so it might not be convenient for her to go over and take care of Ye Zhi. Can you come with me to Qiongzhou Island to take care of her?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaomei was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

This, this, this... Can she still go to the island to take care of Ye Zhi?

Lu Wei also knew that this matter was a bit difficult to handle, and said: "If it is inconvenient for you, my father can also arrange someone, just let me know."

He just thinks that relatives are better than acquaintances.

Ye Zhi always told Mother Chen not to rush over, probably because she didn't like living with other people.

But if it was a family member, Ye Zhi would definitely be happier.

Father Ye said directly: "It's convenient, how can it be inconvenient?" Father Ye glanced at Zhang Xiaomei and said: "My dear, you can go with Xiao Lu."

"Hey, hey, I'll go, I'll go!" Zhang Xiaomei was so happy that she didn't know what to do.

I thought Ye Zhi married so far away, halfway across China, that it would take at least three to five years for us to see each other, but who knew...

There is really nothing to say about this kid Lu Wei.

Lu Wei wanted to ask his father-in-law if he wanted to go with him, but Father Ye said first: "I'll just look after the house, you can just go with Xiao Lu without worry."

The eldest brother and his wife and the second brother and his wife of the Ye family all said, "Don't worry, we are at home."

Lu Wei said, "I haven't completed my mission in Shanghai yet. I will come back here in a few days and take mom with me."

Zhang Xiaomei nodded: "Okay, since you have a mission, just focus on yours first. I'll also take a look at what I need to bring so I can prepare."

After making the arrangements, Lu Wei drove back.

"It's dark at night and it's inconvenient to drive. You should go back early. Drive slowly on the road. There's no rush." ​​Zhang Xiaomei muttered a few more words, reminding Lu Wei to be careful when driving at night.

Because he was in a hurry to get back to complete the mission, he didn't stay for long and drove away directly.

After Lu Wei left, Zhang Xiaomei kept waiting for Li Ermei and Ye Hongying to come and cause trouble, but after waiting for two days, she didn't see a single one of them.

She was still thinking about scolding them. What was their intention? Her daughter was already married so far away, and they still wanted to destroy her marriage and family!

However, two days passed and Zhang Xiaomei didn't hear any movement. Every day when she saw Li Ermei, she was the same as before and she didn't even bother to say hello.

Later, when I went to the supply and marketing cooperative, I overheard people from the infrastructure factory say that Ye Hongying had been ill for several days and had not left the house.

Several children in their family go to the cafeteria to eat every day. They make a lot of noise and are disliked by many people.

Moreover, many people did not know that Ye Hongying was criticized by the commune leaders. They only knew that she was sick and could not go out.

However, the leaders of the infrastructure factory received the notice and talked to Gao Wenbo about Ye Hongying being criticized. Afterwards, they transferred some of his projects to others.

Gao Wenbo was so angry after this incident that he went home and quarreled with Ye Hongying again. The two of them started fighting as they argued.

There's no peace anyway.

Zhang Xiaomei didn't care about other people's affairs. Before going to Qiongzhou Island, she went to the surrounding villages to exchange some medicinal herbs from the villagers. When Ye Zhi was in confinement, she would use them to rub her body to dispel wind and blood stasis.

In late March, Qiongzhou Island slowly begins to enter the rainy season.

The weather was a bit humid, and for two days it was even colder, so it was wet and hot, making people feel a bit uncomfortable. However, at this time, all kinds of flowers on the island were blooming one after another, and you could often see all kinds of flowers when walking in the staff quarters.

The kapok flowers are especially blooming brilliantly.

So, in the evening, He Jinfeng took Ye Zhi to pick kapok flowers everywhere. She said that kapok flowers can be used to make tea or soup, and are a good thing.

Ye Zhi is not working now, so she takes a walk every day. So she followed He Jinfeng to pick kapok flowers as an exercise.

During the time when Lu Wei was away, she didn't dare eat like before. She ate a moderate amount of fruit and some seafood every day. Sometimes when she got tired of seafood, she would buy some meat. With He Jinfeng around, eating meat was not a big problem.

While picking kapok flowers, He Jinfeng suddenly said, "I don't know what's wrong with my husband lately. He suddenly rushes to wash the dishes every day. In the past, he wouldn't even help if the oil bottle fell over."

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Isn't this good?"

He Jinfeng curled her lips, "Too much." She thought for a moment and said, "Isn't there a saying like that? Showing kindness for no reason is... not what..."

Ye Zhi then continued her words, saying, "It's either adultery or theft."

He Jinfeng understood everything. "Ah, that's right, he's either a traitor or a thief. Why would a lazy old man like him suddenly help wash the dishes? I always feel like he has some conspiracy!"

He Jinfeng felt that Guo Jicheng would not be influenced by Lu Wei. If he was to be influenced, he should have been influenced last year.

How is it possible that I have only realized this now?

Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment. For a moment, she didn’t think that Guo Jicheng had any conspiracy. Isn’t it just washing dishes?

So she asked, "What conspiracy?"

He Jinfeng stopped what she was doing, stood up straight, looked at the beach in the distance, and whispered, "Do you think Lao Guo... is having an affair with someone?"

Hearing this, Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but widen her eyes. She lowered her voice and asked, "Sister He, why do you think so?"

Not to mention that Guo Jianli is a cadre and a soldier after all. Even ordinary civil servants would not dare to do such a thing.

In this era, personal conduct issues will be criticized, and the consequences may be disciplinary action at the very least, or even the loss of military status at the worst.

Although Guo Jicheng is a bit chauvinistic, Ye Zhi doesn't think he is that kind of person when she interacts with him.

He Jinfeng sighed and talked about what she talked about with a classmate when she returned to Guangzhou for the New Year.

It is said that her classmate discovered last year that something was wrong with her husband. He became more diligent after work every day and helped her with chores. Sometimes he would buy her small gifts, new clothes, vanishing cream and the like.

Who knew that later it was accidentally discovered that her husband was having an affair with a widow in the factory.

For the sake of their children at home, her classmates just kept silent and did not alarm anyone. Because she knew that if she alarmed the factory leaders, her husband would not only lose his job, but also lose face. How would their family survive in the compound in the future?

So when He Jinfeng saw Guo Jicheng rushing to wash the dishes every day, she felt something was wrong.

Ye Zhi said, "Sister He, I don't think the matter is that serious. Maybe Commander Guo just wants to ask you for some money to buy something he likes?"

Ye Zhi heard from He Jinfeng that she also used Guo Jianli's salary savings book. Could it be that he wanted to buy something expensive and wanted to ask her for money?

He Jinfeng was stunned for a moment, then said, "Then I'll go back and test his attitude."

Ye Zhi thought that He Jinfeng was overthinking this, and said, "Or...did Lu Wei trick him again? During the Chinese New Year, Lu Wei tricked his father and even asked him to wash the dishes."

Thinking of Commander Lu washing the dishes on New Year’s Eve, not to mention Ye Zhi was shocked, even Shen Nanzhen was stunned.

He Jinfeng recalled that Guo Jicheng took the initiative to wash the dishes on the first night. He seemed to have come back from outside and should have gone to Ye Zhi's yard next door.

Oh, I don’t understand.

The two picked some kapok flowers, and He Jinfeng said, "Let's not talk about these boring men. It's better for us to go over there and see the peach blossoms."

There are many peach trees and plum trees on the island, and now is the time when they are in bloom. The large area of ​​white and pink trees is really beautiful.

As they walked, He Jinfeng looked at the clumps of mugwort and said, "Oh, by the way, while there is mugwort now, I'll pick some for you and dry it. Then when you are in confinement, you can use it to boil water and wipe your body."

As he spoke, he bent down to pick mugwort.

Seeing this, Ye Zhi said, "Sister He, don't worry. Lu Wei should be back in two days. I'll ask him to come over to pick the flowers then."

A few days ago, the commander's assistant brought over a bag of butter cakes, saying that Lu Wei bought them in Xitang Town.

He also said that Lu Wei's trip was delayed for a few days and he should be back soon.

He Jinfeng said, "It's useful to prepare more of this stuff. It can also warm your stomach if you boil it like tea."

That night, after dinner, He Jinfeng deliberately did not clean up the dishes.

Who would have thought that Guo Jicheng would clean up on his own initiative and go wash the dishes without her calling him.

He Jinfeng couldn't help asking, "Old Guo, has anything happened to you recently?"

They are not young anymore, they are in their forties and have children. Because we got married early, the passionate period had long passed, although we still had sex once or twice a week.

However, the two of them were so familiar with each other that they were like comrades-in-arms. Even if they changed clothes in front of each other, they would not even look twice.

Guo Jianli paused while cleaning up the dishes and asked, "What can I do?"

He Jinfeng was not a person who could keep her composure, so she asked directly, "Why are you rushing to wash the dishes every day?"

Guo Jianli frowned: "Oh, you! Isn't this what you asked for? I'm washing the dishes on my own initiative, and you're asking me questions again!"

He Jinfeng rolled her eyes at him and muttered, "I've been asking you to work for half my life, but when have you ever been so obedient?"

Guo Jianli: “…”

Isn't this because of the stimulation from that guy Lu Wei?

It makes him look so lazy.

Guo Jianli said unhappily, "I'll just wash the dishes anyway, don't even think of asking me to do other housework!"

"I won't do it!"

Especially washing feet, don’t even think about it in this life!

I really don't know why a man like Lu Wei, who has no family status, would live next door to him.

Alas, it also lowered his status.

He Jinfeng glanced at him in disbelief, and then said, "Okay, okay, go ahead and wash if you want. You've lived for most of your life anyway, you can go find whoever you want, an old man..."

Guo Jianli was a little confused after hearing what He Jinfeng said, "What old bacon is this again? Who am I looking for now?"

He Jinfeng glanced at the tanned Guo Jianli and said, "I'm talking about you. Look at yourself and see if you look like last year's pork belly. Look at Lu Wei, he doesn't look like you..."

"This is called manliness!" Guo Jianli held the bowl and walked out of the yard, cursing, "If it weren't for that guy Lu Wei, I wouldn't wash this bowl. Don't talk about that guy in my ear anymore! Who doesn't know how to wash the bowl? Do you think you're a good man if you can wash the bowl?"

"Pooh!"

Although he is already middle-aged, Guo Jicheng doesn't like to hear his wife talking about the good things about other men!

After listening to Guo Jianli's last words, He Jinfeng suddenly felt that she was indeed overthinking.

That’s right, her husband Guo is so ugly, who would like him?

It's just that I'm blind.

Within two days, Lu Wei sent a telegram saying that he was preparing to take a boat back to the island from Yangcheng.

Ye Zhi looked at the time and specially troubled Li Guoliang to ask him to give her and Ye Xiaoding a ride when he went to pick up Lu Wei.

She just happened to be picking up the things Ana Shen sent from Yangcheng, and by the way, picking up her husband whom she hadn’t seen for more than 20 days.

The wind at the seaside at the end of March is not very strong, it is still a southerly wind, and it is quite cool standing on the pier.

Ye Zhi kept watching the ship getting closer and closer, and her mood became more and more excited.

I don’t know whether Lu Wei has lost weight or looks haggard.

The sun had almost sunk below the sea level, the entire sea surface was golden, and the rising waves were shining with a kind of shining light.

When the ship was about to dock, Ye Zhi suddenly saw Lu Wei waving at her.

Maybe it’s because it’s winter and spring in Shanghai and the sunlight isn’t that strong. After only not seeing each other for more than half a month, Ye Zhi discovered that Lu Wei’s skin color was whiter than before, and at first glance, he looked a lot more handsome.

Ye Zhi waved at him at the dock.

Lu Wei saw his wife early. After only twenty days of not seeing her, Ye Zhi's belly had grown a little bigger, and her face didn't seem as rosy as when he had just left.

I don’t know if there’s no one around to take care of me or accompany me.

But soon his wife will feel better.

Lu Wei looked at Zhang Xiaomei in the cabin with concern, then ran back to the cabin and asked, "Mom, we are almost at the shore. Please hold on a little longer. Ye Zhi is waiting for us at the dock."

Zhang Xiaomei vomited so much jaundice that water came out. She waved her hands weakly and said, "I can do it." After that, she looked out of the small window of the cabin and saw Ye Zhi, who was pregnant as expected.

All of a sudden, Zhang Xiaomei became excited and felt a little stronger.

"Oh my, my daughter's belly is so big, it looks like she's six or seven months pregnant!"

"Girl! Girl!!"

"And my dear grandson, Xiao Ding! Grandma is here!"

Zhang Xiaomei waved at Ye Zhi through the small glass window, but she could see Ye Zhi and Ye Xiaoding from their window.

But Ye Zhi couldn't see them.

Ye Xiaoding shook his head and suddenly said, "Aunt, is that grandma? I'm afraid I saw grandma."

Ye Zhi looked around but saw nothing. Even Lu Wei had gone back to the cabin. She didn't know if he was going to get his luggage.

She asked, "Which one?"

A trace of anticipation flashed through Ye Zhi's heart, but it was quickly blown away by the salty smell of the sea breeze.

This seems impossible.

Ye Xiaoding said, "The one behind the window seems to be grandma. I think I heard grandma calling me!"

Ye Zhi looked over again. There were many people on the boat. Lu Wei was tall, so Ye Zhi recognized him at a glance.

Now there are so many comrades wearing black and blue clothes that it is hard to tell which one is which.

Just when Ye Zhi thought Ye Xiaoding was fooling her, Ye Xiaoding shouted again: "Aunt, it's really grandma, grandma is here!"

Ye Xiaoding broke free from Ye Zhi's hand, raised his hand high and waved towards the ship, shouting loudly: "Grandma!"

"Uncle!"

Ye Zhi's heart, which had fallen, suddenly rose again. She looked from afar and saw the ship getting closer and closer, and two familiar figures appeared on the deck.

Ye Zhi couldn't help but raise her voice and yelled: "Mom——"

There were a lot of people on the dock, some were seeing people off, some were picking people up, and some were transporting goods. When Ye Zhi shouted, the people around her immediately looked at her.

The few female comrades who were standing nearby noticed Ye Zhi because she was so fair. They had never seen such a fair girl on this island.

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim: "What a beautiful comrade."

"You're still pregnant, how come you're still so beautiful?"

"Whose daughter-in-law is this? Why haven't I seen her before?"

"I don't know. I don't think I've seen it either."

Ye Zhi ignored the discussions around her and didn't care that she was pregnant. She kept waving towards the other end of the ship.

Seeing Lu Wei and Zhang Xiaomei's heart rise to their throat, they immediately shouted: "It's coming, it's coming, don't move."

Lu Wei really wanted to jump into the water and swim over to calm her down, but jumping into the water would probably cause chaos, so he couldn't help but shout, "Wife, we're almost at the shore, stand still and don't move."

When the female comrades on the shore heard this, they looked over from afar and saw the dreaded Captain Lu calling his wife loudly.

When everyone heard this, they subconsciously looked towards Ye Zhi, "So this is Captain Lu's wife, no wonder!"

After hearing what Lu Wei said, Ye Zhi at the dock calmed down and waited until the ship docked before going over.

Looking at Zhang Xiaomei who was being supported by Lu Wei, he suddenly didn't know who to hug first.

But his body subconsciously hugged Zhang Xiaomei and shouted, "Mom, you're here!"

Ye Zhi knew that Lu Wei went to Xitang Town and thought that he was just going to help look after his parents, but she didn't expect that he actually brought her mother to Qiongzhou Island.

Lu Wei's outstretched hand fell empty, and then he looked at his wife Zhang Xiaomei whom he hadn't seen for more than 20 days and hugged her.

Although I felt a little lonely, I was still happy in my heart.

He was happy because his wife was happy.

Ye Xiaoding, who was standing by, jumped up and shouted, "Grandma, I want to hug you, I want to hug you too!"

"Grandma, I miss you so much..."

Lu Wei glanced at him, then twisted him up like a chicken, and scolded him: "How old are you? You still want to hug me. Do you know how to be ashamed? Go and help me get some luggage."

Before Ye Xiaoding could hold his grandma, Lu Wei dragged her onto the boat to get the luggage. Ye Xiaoding looked at the figure of his grandma and aunt holding her, and then snorted, "I'll hold her later."

Li Guoliang, who had been waiting for a long time, followed without thinking much.

Zhang Xiaomei let go of Ye Zhi a little, looked at her belly, touched her face, and said, "You've lost weight."

Ye Zhi's tear-stained face burst into laughter: "No, I gained a lot of weight."

I guess all parents in the world think their children are not fat enough.

Zhang Xiaomei was originally feeling seasick, but she instantly recovered when she saw Ye Zhi.

He held Ye Zhi's hand and asked her a lot of questions, such as whether she had adapted to the island, whether the food was good, whether the food she cooked was tasty, and whether there was meat to eat...

Ye Zhi patiently answered her questions one by one.

Zhang Xiaomei looked at Ye Zhi's belly and couldn't help but say, "It looks like a seven-month-old belly. You've worked hard."

Ye Zhi nodded: "It is a bit hard."

Anyway, she is now loved by her mother, so she also wants to act coquettishly.

Looking at Zhang Xiaomei's pale face, Ye Zhi asked, "Mom, are you seasick? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Zhang Xiaomei glanced at the blue sea from afar and said, "Hey, this sea looks so beautiful, but it's a bit tiring."

If Lu Wei hadn't been there, Zhang Xiaomei would have really been on the verge of collapse.

While the two were chatting, Lu Wei, Ye Xiaoding, Li Guoliang and the other two quickly took their luggage off the boat.

Li Guoliang said, "Auntie, Lu Tuan, the car is over there."

Ye Zhi took Zhang Xiaomei's arm and said. "Mom, let's talk about it when we get back." At the same time, she looked at Lu Wei and mouthed to him, "Lu Wei, thank you."

Lu Wei smiled, said nothing, and just walked towards the car.

After taking a boat trip and a half-hour car ride, Zhang Xiaomei felt a little tired when she arrived at Ye Zhi's yard.

He didn't even look at her yard carefully. He just entered the house and sat on the wooden sofa, looking a little unhappy.

Ye Zhi took out a jar of honey, added a little warm water to it, and asked Zhang Xiaomei to drink it.

Zhang Xiaomei seemed to feel better after drinking the honey water, and asked, "Did you collect this honey yourself?"

Ye Zhi nodded, knowing that Zhang Xiaomei might be worried about spending money and was reluctant to do so.

Then he said, "Mom, this was given to me by a colleague."

Zhang Xiaomei was obviously relieved and said, "So you don't have to buy groceries now, right?"

"Mom, we have vegetables grown in the yard, including spinach and lettuce. You don't need to buy them for now." Lu Wei said.

Zhang Xiaomei then looked out the window and indeed saw a vegetable field.

There is a winding stone path in the middle of the yard, and on the other side is a pavilion and several flowers.

It looks quite unique.

She thought her daughter, who was too weak to carry anything, had no vegetables to eat, so she brought all kinds of seeds.

Zhang Xiaomei looked at Lu Wei and Ye Zhi's home again and found that there was electricity and electric lights.

"You guys have electricity, that's good."

Although some people in the town said that Ye Zhi was living a good life on the island, those people still said behind her back that she came here to suffer.

Although Ye Zhi said a lot of things in the letter to reassure her, she was a little hesitant to believe it since she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

But now looking at this red brick house with cement walls, there is a large yard outside.

When she heard the eldest brother read the letter before, she thought that Ye Zhi said that to reassure them.

Now it seems to be just stating the facts.

Ye Zhi said, "The electricity is turned off at a set time. The lights will be turned off at 10 o'clock in the evening."

Zhang Xiaomei smiled and said, "That's good too. Electric lights are much brighter than oil lamps."

They haven't got electricity yet.

And they have running water here, you just need to turn on the tap to get water.

It’s quite convenient.

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "That's right."

That night, they ate a little bit of food quickly, and Zhang Xiaomei took a hot bath and went to rest.

She needed to conserve her energy so that she could take a good look at Lu Wei and Ye Zhi's home tomorrow.

Lu Wei thought he would have to share the night with Ye Xiaoding, but Zhang Xiaomei had already slept in the same room with Ye Xiaoding.

Ye Xiaoding seemed to have returned to the state of being four or five years old, sticking to Zhang Xiaomei and wanting to sleep together.

Lu Wei smiled and ignored him.

I was a little pissed off knowing he was at the dock.

After closing the door of the room at the other end, Lu Wei also took his clothes and took a shower.

After returning to the room, he smelled a burst of fragrance. Ye Zhi had cleaned the house and even washed the sheets, which smelled of soap.

Ye Zhi had already sat on the bed, reading something with a pillow behind her.

The two looked at each other and said nothing.

The light flickered twice, and Lu Wei knew it was time to turn off the light again.

Ye Zhi turned sideways, flattened the pillow, and then lay down.

Lu Wei also got on the bed. The two of them were lying on the bed, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward. Just when she wanted to speak, Lu Wei next to her hugged her from behind and said, "My mother called me and said that Chen's mother was not free, so I had to ask her to come over."

"How was your time at home?"

"Did you eat well?"

Ye Zhi now sleeps on her side, which allows Lu Wei to hug her from behind. She wants to turn around to see what he looks like, but Lu Wei has his head buried in her long hair.

She moved, then turned to the other side, lying on her side facing him, and then reached out and hugged him.

"Lu Wei, I miss you so much."

Ye Zhi felt that she seldom relied on others. The time she discovered that she relied on Lu Wei was when Lu Wei suddenly had to go on a cruise for three days for the first time after their marriage.

She also knew that if she married Lu Wei, she would have to face such situations frequently.

After so many days of separation, Ye Zhi really felt a little uncomfortable.

Take sleeping for example. Now that her belly is bigger, she has to go to the bathroom more often at night. When Lu Wei is around, he will go with her.

I will read with her at night.
