Chapter 33: He Manman and his wife’s good plan, the much-anticipated first night on the island!
He Manman waited until dark and finally waited for Zhang Feng to come back, but he came back empty-handed.
"Lao Zhang, you didn't get food from the cafeteria? What are we going to eat tonight? I came to this godforsaken island with you, and you still want to starve me and the baby in my belly to death?"
Zhang Feng was already furious after being scolded by his superior, and when he returned home he was blamed by his troublesome wife. Even though he still needed to rely on the He family, he couldn't help but feel impatient.
"Eat, you're still thinking about eating, let me ask you what did you do in the afternoon?"
He Manman then realized that Zhang Feng's expression was not right. When he asked her what she had done in the afternoon, she subconsciously felt guilty. She didn't care about the outburst and said anxiously, "I...what can I do? I'll just stay in the staff building."
"Are you sure? I was called in by Brigadier General Qin and given a good scolding. Why are you mocking Gu Yuan for not being able to have children?
We took advantage of the house by acting without authorization and should have stayed away from Gu Yuan and his wife in the near future. But you actually ran up to them and poked their sore spot. How do you think the people above you will see me?
Didn’t I tell you that this period is crucial for my promotion to regular employee? How can I be promoted to group leader if something like this happens?”
He Manman was anxious: "How can this affect you? And I'm not talking nonsense. It doesn't make sense that people can't be allowed to speak the truth. Your leader is too good at finding trouble."
Zhang Feng felt tired of her trying to come up with such a twisted argument. "Do you dare to tell this to Brigade Commander Qin? You know why Gu Yuan is injured and can't have children. How many people in this military region owed him a favor? It's absolutely foolish of you to use his inability to have children as an excuse."
"Then...what should we do?" Hearing this, He Manman finally panicked.
"What else can I do? Go to their house tomorrow and apologize. Oh, and give them 500 yuan in compensation."
He Manman was about to explode when she heard she had to apologize, and then she couldn't help herself when she heard she had to pay 500 yuan. "Zhang Feng, are you crazy? You want me to apologize to them? And you want 500 yuan right away? How much is your monthly allowance?"
"So, do you still want to be the regimental commander's wife? Let me tell you, those mocking words you used have spread throughout the military region and caused public outrage. If you don't come and apologize, my promotion to regular position will be a failure."
"Really...really, you can't apologize?"
Hearing He Manman's tone, Zhang Feng quickly softened his tone and coaxed her, "Do you think I want you to suffer this injustice, Manman? But you did say the wrong thing in this matter. If we don't apologize this time, not to mention my promotion to full-time group leader, we'll be criticized everywhere we go."
"Then... can we pay less money? Five hundred yuan is too much." Seeing that an apology was inevitable, He Manman wanted to pay less money.
Zhang Feng smiled smugly: "No, on the contrary, we want to pay more money, the more exaggerated the better, so that we can show our sincerity.
Just say that the money is for them to renovate their old house over there. With this money, the house over there will not be worse than this one. The sincerity of your apology will appear very sufficient.
Don't worry, they won't be embarrassed to accept this money. When the time comes, the money will go back into our pockets, and we can also earn a good reputation for free. It's a sure win."
When Zhang Feng talked about his plan with a smug look on his face, He Manman was finally convinced by him.
…………
After dinner, Gu Yuan took the initiative to wash the dishes, and Lu Chiyu went to make their beds.
Looking at the made bed and thinking that she would be able to sleep in the same bed with her soldier brother today, she couldn't help but blush.
She is... quite looking forward to it!
Lu Chiyu took his clothes and toiletries and went downstairs to take a shower. Just then, Gu Yuan had washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen.
When he heard that she wanted to take a bath, he immediately filled her bath water and brought it to the bathroom.
Seeing the soldier who even helped to get bath water to the bathroom, Lu Chiyu said that she was determined to be the man and no one could snatch him from her.
After three days on the train, Lu Chiyu felt dirty even without sweating in winter. This time, she took a very refreshing shower.
The soldier was very generous. He bought shampoo for hair and soap for bathing. Lu Chiyu washed his hair very carefully.
Suddenly the lights went out, and Lu Chiyu, who was taking a bath, saw darkness in front of her eyes. She screamed subconsciously.
Gu Yuan was sorting out the things sent by the military wives in the living room when the lights suddenly went out. Hearing Lu Chiyu's shout, he threw the bacon in his hand and ran to the bathroom.
"Comrade Lu Chiyu, what happened to you? Did you fall?" Gu Yuan knocked on the door and asked worriedly.
By this time, Lu Chiyu had already reacted and felt a little embarrassed. He replied weakly: "No, I... I just suddenly ran out of power and was startled."
Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lu Chiyu's reply and said hurriedly, "That's good. I forgot to tell you that there are frequent power outages on our island. Wait inside for a moment and I'll light a kerosene lamp for you."
Soon Gu Yuan brought the kerosene lamp.
"Comrade Lu Chiyu, please open the door."
The door opened a crack, and a stream of hot air came out. Gu Yuan suddenly felt hot all over, and his blood was boiling...
He couldn't even imagine the scenery inside...
Lu Chiyu was also very shy at this time. He took the light and quickly closed the door. The two of them tacitly did not speak the whole time, but they could feel pink bubbles floating in the air...
After Lu Chiyu finished taking a shower, it was Gu Yuan's turn.
Lu Chiyu went upstairs to her room first and found that the wind was still quite strong through the large window in front of their bed, so she lay on the bed and dried her hair.
As soon as her hair was dry, she saw Gu Yuan coming out of the bathroom through the window, and her heart beat faster.
It’s coming, it’s coming, it’s finally here!
Soon she will be able to hold her soldier brother to sleep!
