Lu Wei and Li Weimin went to the political commissar's office together.
Zhong Zhenguo knew that Lu Wei was returning to the island today, so he waited for him in the office. When he heard the knock on the door, he let Lu Wei and Li Weimin in.
Zhong Zhenguo looked at Lu Wei and said with a fake smile: "Captain Lu is newlywed, and looks very proud. How is it? Have you settled your family members?"
Lu Wei cleared his throat and replied, "Everything is settled."
Zhong Zhenguo picked up the enamel cup and took a sip of tea, then looked at him and asked, "Are you satisfied with the yard?"
Lu Wei got married suddenly and was not in the military area at the time, so he took it upon himself to allocate a larger house to him.
He was thinking that Lu Wei was at least a colonel-level official, and it would be more comfortable to live in a big house.
Lu Wei nodded: "Very good."
Zhong Zhenguo smiled and said, "That's good. Since you're already married, you should work harder to have more children. There's enough land and you can afford to raise them."
He knew that Lu Wei was an only child, and precisely because he was the only child, he had a wild personality.
Therefore, several elders of the old Lu family hoped that he could have one or two more, so as to avoid raising another Lu Wei.
Li Weimin also joked: "I already have two of them, hurry up, or you won't be able to catch up with me even if you try your best."
Lu Wei snorted, unconsciously loosened the collar of his shirt, and said, "Let's talk about it later. There's no rush."
After being married for several days, Lu Wei kissed Ye Zhi on the boat yesterday. As soon as he touched her, Ye Zhi was frightened by the people talking outside and hid herself.
What’s more, there didn’t even seem to be a bed in the new house, so what was the point of building one?
Zhong Zhenguo then asked, "Did you take your family to see Commander Lu and Vice President Shen during your stopover in Yangcheng?"
The Commander Lu and Vice President Shen mentioned by Zhong Zhenguo are Lu Wei's parents.
Lu Wei responded briefly: "No."
"Commander Lu has already gone to the southwestern theater, and my mother went to Beijing for a meeting. No rush, maybe next time."
Zhong Zhenguo was confused for a moment, but soon recovered and said, "Well, next time."
He knew that Lu Wei's marriage partner was the one arranged by Old Man Lu. As early as when Lu Wei was injured and hospitalized, the old man had someone hand over the woman's information.
But, the old man also gambles.
Because Lu Weiyi rejected this marriage from the beginning.
Unexpectedly, during these few days of the mission, Lu Wei suddenly decided to get married, and even called him at night, saying that he would make special arrangements and settle the marriage.
The information is already available, so there will be no problem with the political review.
I just don’t know what Lu Wei’s parents think about this.
Now it seems that he knew that his son and daughter-in-law would transit in Guangzhou, but one went to the war zone early and the other went to a meeting. It sounds like he is not very satisfied with his daughter-in-law.
Zhong Zhenguo didn't show it on his face, and then he handed over some official business to Lu Wei.
After a while, Lu Wei said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back."
Zhong Zhenguo smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I made some tea. Have a sip before you leave."
Lu Wei: "My wife hasn't eaten yet, you guys drink."
After saying that, Lu Wei walked towards the door.
Seeing this, Li Weimin also said, "Then I'll go back too."
Zhong Zhenguo looked at Lu Wei's anxiously leaving back, smiled and shook his head.
The cold-faced sniper of the past is finally a little different.
Li Weimin chased Lu Wei out and asked, "You didn't bring your wife to meet your parents?"
Lu Wei said unhappily: "Didn't you say you were busy?"
Li Weimin looked at Lu Wei's face and asked, "Could it be that your parents don't like it?"
Li Weimin knew that Lu Wei's mother was looking forward to his marriage so much that her neck became long and she made countless phone calls.
Although Commander Lu did not say it, he would always ask the political commissar to convey his thoughts, which showed that he was very worried.
Lu Wei is already married, they must be laughing their heads off, right?
Moreover, they just happened to be transferring ships in Guangzhou, and he didn't believe that the two old people could bear not to see Lu Wei's wife!
Lu Wei paused, glanced at Li Weimin and said, "My wife, it's enough that I like her." After that, he strode towards the cafeteria.
Li Weimin was stunned. Just now, Lu Wei said that he liked it?
Oh my, is this the iron tree blooming?
Li Weimin stamped his feet. He really should have taken a look at what Lu Wei’s wife looked like. She could have made Lu Wei say such things!
This kid Lu Wei must be attracted by her beauty!
People used to say that child marriage was feudal!
Haha, man.
Ye Zhi watched as the glow in the sky dimmed and the entire sky was dyed a deep azure blue, as beautiful as a painting.
If Ye Zhi had a camera now, she felt she could take pictures non-stop!
When she came to the military area by car just now, she didn't have time to take a look at the surrounding environment, and she didn't know where she was exactly now.
But standing in the yard, you can now clearly hear the sound of the waves, and the sea breeze is blowing from the direction of the gate.
The coastline should be right in front of the compound, but it should be some distance away.
Ye Zhi originally wanted to cook something to eat, but when she remembered that Lu Wei said he would bring something back from the canteen tonight, she had no choice but to wait.
She walked back into the house. Although it was still bright outside, it was already dark inside. As soon as she entered the living room, she saw Ye Xiaoding sitting on the floor playing with a wooden toy, which should have been left by the previous tenant.
Ye Zhi just saw that there was a light in the room. She looked everywhere and finally found the pull cord for the light in the living room.
The lights in that era were not controlled by switches, but were hung by a rope. You just had to pull the rope down hard, and when you heard a "click" sound, the light would come on.
The warm yellow light filled the huge living room. The originally dim space suddenly became much brighter. Ye Zhi's figure was reflected on the slightly rough cement wall.
Ye Xiaoding, who was playing with toys, suddenly felt that the surroundings were brighter. He immediately raised his head and asked Ye Zhi curiously: "Aunt, is there a light here too?"
The Ye family had always used kerosene lamps. It was only after Ye Xiaoding arrived in Guangzhou that he realized that electric lights could be used at home.
In the past in Xitang Town, only some state-owned factories or communes had electric wires.
Most people used kerosene lamps, and even if they lit two or three kerosene lamps, they were not as bright as electric lights.
Ye Zhi said, "Yes, I just discovered it too."
Ye Zhi watched the tungsten filament lamp flash twice, fearing that it would burn out.
Fortunately, it only flashed twice and I was fine afterwards.
I just don't know whether they will control the electricity usage time.
Ye Zhi glanced at Ye Xiaoding who was sitting on the red brick floor, then bent down, picked up a small wooden stool next to the eight-immortal table and placed it next to Ye Xiaoding's feet, saying, "Xiaoding, sit on the stool and play. The floor hasn't been swept yet."
This kind of red brick is very absorbent, and even if you pour water on it, there won't be much water accumulation. But the disadvantage is that it gets dirty easily and generates dust, so it needs to be swept frequently.
But if you live by the sea where the humidity is so high, this kind of floor tile is really suitable.
Ye Xiaoding played with the toy without raising his head: "No, it's cooler to sit on the floor."
Ye Zhi let him do as he pleased. She now wanted to find a rag to wipe the windows, doors, stools and tables.
She just saw a small brick pool outside the yard with a faucet in it, which should be the water for daily use.
Ye Zhi took a small rusty iron bucket from the kitchen, brought it to the sink, and prepared to collect water to wipe the furniture.
As soon as the faucet was turned on, a stream of rusty water spurted out of it intermittently. It seemed that it had not been used for a long time.
Ye Zhi turned on the faucet, let the water run for a while, and then filled it with water later.
Just as Ye Zhi was getting the water and preparing to carry it home, Ye Xiaoding ran out. He took the small iron bucket from Ye Zhi and said, "Aunt, let me carry it. Uncle asked me to look after you. You can take a rest. Just tell me where you need to wipe."
Seeing Ye Xiaoding's thin figure carrying a bucket and walking inside with difficulty, Ye Zhi smiled and said, "I want to clean the doors and windows. Can you reach me?"
There was no other furniture in the house, so there wasn't much to clean.
But the house is big. In addition to the front door, the kitchen also has a back door, and there are several windows, probably for ventilation.
These doors and windows are relatively high, and Ye Xiaoding can only reach two doors at most, which are the lower half.
It would be better not to mop it, but Ye Zhi didn't let him sit idle and sent him to sweep the floor.
Just as Ye Zhi was wiping the door, Lu Wei came back.
He also held two lunch boxes and an army green takeout water bottle in his hands.
He looked at Ye Zhi's back as she wiped the doors and windows, and said, "Didn't I tell you to take a rest? I'll do all this."
"I've called you guys back for dinner, but it's a little late and there's nothing to eat, so just make do with it."
After saying that, Lu Wei placed the two iron boxes on the eight-immortals table, then walked behind Ye Zhi, raised his hand and took the rag from her hand.
This rag looks like an old piece of clothing, it should have been brought by Ye Zhi.
The rag in Ye Zhi's hand was taken away by Lu Wei. She was too lazy to rush to do this job. She was really hungry enough to eat a cow.
Seeing that he had already started to clean the door panel neatly, Ye Zhi asked, "Aren't you coming over to eat something?"
Lu Wei didn't stop wiping the door and said, "You guys eat first, I'll come back after I finish wiping this door."
Ye Zhi said "Oh", walked out of the yard and washed her hands in the faucet. Then she called Ye Xiaoding over and took out the soap she bought in Yangcheng for Ye Xiaoding to wash his hands. After washing their hands, they went back to the eight-immortals table in the house and sat down.
But there were only a few small stools in the living room, which seemed to be made for children to sit on. It was quite suitable for Ye Xiaoding to sit on them, but he could not reach the table.
It's really difficult.
The round table has been wiped once and is now clean.
Ye Zhi opened two lunch boxes, one filled with vegetables and the other with rice, both of which were full.
Another vegetable box contained clams, mussels, shrimps and fish, but no vegetables.
Although Ye Zhi loves to eat meat, she also loves to eat vegetables and must have vegetables.
It seems like I need to quickly renovate the yard so I can grow some vegetables.
Ye Zhi found a bowl she bought in Yangcheng from several luggage bags. She bought the bowl for drinking water convenience at that time, and it came in handy now.
I don’t have any pots, pans, or utensils yet, so I’ll just have to make do with what I have.
Originally, she was planning to buy pots, pans, and utensils in Yangcheng, but she had already bought too many things at that time and they couldn't take that much.
And Lu Wei also said that he didn’t know how big the stove was, so he needed to go back and measure it before buying a pot.
Ye Zhi simply didn't buy it and decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperative early tomorrow morning to buy it.
After Ye Zhi washed the bowl, she took out a bottle of soy sauce and poured a little on the lunch box lid.
Because all these seafoods, except the fish, are blanched, they have to be eaten with soy sauce.
Even though it’s just dipped in soy sauce, seafood is all about its freshness, so even eaten this way, it’s still very delicious.
Ye Zhi didn't expect to eat seafood on the first day of her arrival in Qiongzhou Island.
It really was worth the wait.
I almost couldn't hold it in just now and wanted to eat some dry food to fill my stomach.
Ye Zhi used the remaining lunch box lid and a bowl to divide the rice into three portions.
Then he said to Lu Wei who was cleaning the windows, "Comrade Lu, stop cleaning and eat first."
When Lu Wei heard Ye Zhi's words, he quickly wiped the last bit of the living room window and replied, "Okay, I'll come right after I wash my hands."
Ye Zhi reminded: "Remember to use soap!"
Lu Wei smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, I understand."
When Lu Wei came back from washing his hands, he saw Ye Zhi and Ye Xiaoding sitting on stools, so he said, "I just asked, the furniture won't be delivered until tomorrow at noon."
Lu Wei thought for a moment and asked, "Or, do you want to go to the compound? There are many family members of the soldiers there. The houses are a little smaller than here, but the facilities inside are complete."
But although this yard is big, it lacks a lot of things, and many things need to be reported before they can be issued.
Ye Zhi almost didn't hesitate and responded: "It's nice here, I like this yard."
Where there are many people, there are bound to be many disputes.
Moreover, Ye Zhi felt that this place was pretty good. The room was large, ventilated and bright, and there was also a large yard.
When the yard is cleaned up, she can also plant some vegetables and flowers.
The houses in the family compound are all terraced, one next to the other, and all are two-bedroom apartments, and the yard is shared.
Looking at it this way, Ye Zhi really thinks this house is good.
Moreover, this is a single-family villa with sea view!
Then, Ye Zhi asked Ye Xiaoding, who was eating, "Xiaoding, do you like it here?"
Ye Xiaoding nodded hurriedly: "I like it, I like it very much!"
As long as he is with his aunt, he likes everything!
"Okay, as long as you like it." Lu Wei's eyes lit up. He thought Ye Zhi wouldn't like it. After all, this yard was really messy.
Ye Zhi smiled, looked at Lu Wei, and said, "When you are free, come with me to clean up the weeds in the yard."
Lu Wei listened to Ye Zhi's words, looked out the window at the yard full of weeds, and then asked: "Do you want to use this yard?"
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Of course, I am very useful."
Ye Zhi had just looked at the yard outside. The yard was really big, even bigger than the house. Ye Zhi was thinking of planting bougainvillea and frangipani trees in the yard.
Bougainvillea has bright and gorgeous colors, a long flowering period, and can bloom for more than half a year. It is also easy to care for.
You should also plant a frangipani tree, which has a particularly long flowering period. It is not only beautiful but also fragrant. Moreover, the frangipani tree likes high temperature and humidity, so it is most suitable for planting in the courtyard.
Of course, in addition to growing flowers, we also grow vegetables.
She had already prepared the rapeseed and was just watching the time to sow it.
Lu Wei smiled and replied, "Okay, after I finish cleaning the windows, I'll go remove the grass in the yard."
Ye Zhi paused while eating and said, "Don't worry, make it when you have time. You must be tired after sitting on the boat for so long." After that, Ye Zhi picked up a mussel, dipped it in soy sauce and put it in Lu Wei's lunch box, saying, "Eat it."
Lu Wei looked at the mussels in the lunch box. He used to be fed up with eating this thing, but now he felt that it was the most delicious thing in the world.
Lu Wei picked up the shellfish meat and put it into his mouth, saying, "I'll go weed after I finish my meal."
He doesn't feel tired at all now, and feels full of energy.
Li Weimin had just been asking him if he was happy after getting married.
Lu Weiyi couldn't give a clear answer at first.
But just now when he returned to the yard, he saw that the lights in the house were on, and he vaguely heard Ye Zhi and Ye Xiaoding talking and laughing.
At that moment, Lu Wei felt that it was great to be married.
It feels so good to have a light waiting for you when you come home.
Of course, that person is Ye Zhi, who is the best.
After dinner, Lu Wei continued to clean the doors and windows. He moved quickly and efficiently, and soon he had cleaned several windows until they were shiny.
After cleaning the windows, Lu Weizhen carried a hoe and went to the yard to weed.
After dinner, Ye Zhi took out two large pieces of cloth from a pile of luggage, intending to make curtains for the windows of the room.
This was given to her by Li Xueling when she resigned. It was a defective cloth stored in the factory. The dyeing was a bit uneven and it was not suitable for making clothes, but it should be okay for making curtains.
Anyway, it's just used to block out the light.
But before Ye Zhi could finish threading the needle, Lu Wei, who was weeding outside, suddenly came back and said, "Why don't you take a shower first, or the power might go out."
Ye Zhi guessed it would be like this.
Ye Zhi asked, "Then why don't you use your previous basin first?"
Because there is only one small iron bucket in the whole house, and that bucket definitely cannot be used for bathing, and there is not enough water in it.
However, there was a large basin among Lu Wei’s belongings, which should have been used when he lived in the dormitory.
Now I can only use his first.
Lu Wei: "No problem, just use it."
Ye Zhi then responded: "Then I'll go get a basin of water for Xiao Ding." As she said that, she was about to go into the room to get the basin.
When Lu Weiyi heard this, he stopped her and said, "He is a child, so use the smaller one. You... use the larger one."
The small one is for him to wash his face, and the big one is for him to take a bath.
Ye Zhi didn't expect Lu Wei to be so particular and even had several basins.
He doesn't look like a rough old man at all. When Ye Zhi was at Old Ye's house, she saw that his elder and second brothers always shared the same basin, whether they were washing vegetables or washing their feet.
"Okay, I'll get him a small one."
After a while, Lu Wei saw Ye Zhi bring out a basin, and then he took the basin and said, "I'll get him some water, you take a rest, don't work any more."
Ye Zhi was really a little tired, so she simply didn't even bother to fix the curtains. She planned to wait for Ye Xiaoding to wash them, then she would wash them too, and then go to bed early.
I have to get up early tomorrow to buy those pots, pans, and utensils.
Ye Xiaoding also helped to pull out the weeds for a while. After hearing Ye Zhi asking him to take a shower, he stopped busying himself and ran to find some clothes and scrubbed off the stench and sweat on his body.
After Ye Xiaoding finished showering, Ye Zhi went back to her room to find clothes. When she came out, Lu Wei had already filled a large basin with water for her and placed it in the bathroom.
The bathroom was quite large, but when the tall Lu Wei stood inside, the space suddenly felt cramped.
Ye Zhi felt a little awkward holding the clothes, but finally said, "Thank you."
Lu Wei suddenly reached out and gently pinched her cheek, saying, "Didn't I tell you not to be polite?"
"From now on, just ask me to do the heavy work. Remember?"
Ye Zhi felt that the places he pinched were a little hot, "Okay."
Moreover, Lu Wei was standing a little too close to her, almost forcing her to the door.
When Lu Wei saw Ye Zhi's well-behaved appearance, he really wanted to bully her, but when he thought about how sweaty he was, he gave up.
"You wash it. I'll go watch Ye Xiaoding and ask him to wash the clothes."
Looking at Lu Wei's back as he walked out of the bathroom, Ye Zhi's tense heart slowly relaxed.
tonight……
I don't think I'll need that tonight.
After all, that bed is big enough for three people to sleep on, so how can there be a chance to do those things?
But thinking about what Lu Wei said on the boat, he was not getting irritated by the heat.
She knew then that this day would definitely come.
Although Ye Zhi had a little bit of expectation, she felt more helpless.
She's not mentally prepared yet.
She thought she would experience a sweet love and everything would come naturally over time.
Unexpectedly, he got married at a young age. He skipped the topic of love and went straight to the point.
This is putting the cart before the horse.
But since she has chosen this path, Ye Zhi will not refuse. These are things that couples should do, and they have obtained the certificate and stamped the seal.
After Lu Wei finished taking a shower, the power really went out.
The house was plunged into darkness.
Ye Zhi finally understood what Lu Wei said when he asked Ye Xiaoding whether he wanted to come to Qiongzhou Island.
Not to mention a typhoon, even if there is no typhoon now, she still feels a little scared.
It was as if the world had suddenly fallen into darkness, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. It was terrible.
Ye Zhi simply pulled Ye Xiaoding onto the bed. It was a single bed, about 1.23 meters long, and it was a bit crowded for her and Ye Xiaoding to sleep next to each other.
I don’t know if I can still sleep with Lu Wei coming.
But there is only one bed in the whole house, so I have to sleep on it even if I don’t want to.
Ye Xiaoding slept soundly. He didn't know if it was because of seasickness, but he fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.
Ye Zhi was listening to Ye Xiaoding's snoring. In a daze, she seemed to hear Lu Wei returning to the room. She didn't know what he said, but she felt a warm body coming up from behind, with his arms around her waist. Then he held her in his arms, and they were pressed tightly against each other.
In the darkness, Ye Zhi did not feel afraid, but felt more secure. She adjusted her posture in the warm arms and then fell into a deep sleep.
In the darkness, Lu Wei sighed lightly, kissed Ye Zhi's sweet hair, and smiled helplessly.
This night really isn't the right time.
It doesn’t matter, there is still a long way to go.
The next morning, Ye Zhi woke up with a start before dawn.
After waking up, Ye Zhi was confused for a moment. She walked around the strange house and then regained consciousness.
Where is Lu Wei?
Seeing that Ye Xiaoding was still sleeping soundly, Ye Zhi did not wake him up. She just got out of bed, put on her shoes, and walked out the door.
The sky was already getting light. She looked at her watch. It was half past five in the morning.
There were a few steamed buns on the eight-immortals table, and Lu Wei was weeding in the yard.
Lu Wei heard footsteps, then looked up and saw Ye Zhi standing at the door with her long hair loose. He was immediately stunned.
He always thought Ye Zhi was pretty, but the first time he saw her, she looked sleepy, with her long black hair casually scattered, making her look lazy and cute. The face looked even whiter against the black hair, with red lips and black eyes, she was incredibly beautiful.
Lu Wei asked: "Why did you get up so early? It's still early, sleep a little longer."
Ye Zhi's voice was a little coquettish as she said, "I got up when I found out you were not here."
When Lu Wei heard this, his heart melted. He put down the hoe in his hand, then walked to Ye Zhi's side. He couldn't help but lowered his head and pecked her on the lips.
Ye Zhi quickly covered her mouth with the back of her hand and said, "I haven't brushed my teeth yet!" Then she ran to the bathroom in her slippers.
After waiting for a long time, Ye Zhi came out of the bathroom and returned to her gentle and peaceful self.
Ye Zhi planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative early to at least buy a pot and a teapot. Otherwise, when someone came to her house, she would not even have a sip of water to give them a drink.
Lu Wei had washed his hands and returned to the living room, sitting and drinking tea.
Ye Zhi sat on another low stool, reached out to take a steamed bun, tore off a small piece and put it in her mouth, and said to him: "I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative later to buy a pot, a teapot and a bowl. You stay at home and look after Ye Xiaoding."
Lu Wei frowned, as if he thought it was not a good idea to let Ye Zhi go to the supply and marketing cooperative alone, so he said, "Let's go together. How can you get it by yourself? Besides, you have never been to a supply and marketing cooperative, so it might be difficult to find it."
Ye Zhi smiled and felt a little choked by the steamed bun, so she took Lu Wei's tea bowl and took a sip to moisten her throat. "Okay, let's go together."
Lu Wei watched Ye Zhi drink the tea, then slowly put down the bowl, then stood up and walked towards the room.
Not long after, Lu Wei pulled Ye Xiaoding out. Ye Xiaoding looked like he hadn't gotten enough sleep. He asked, "What happened? Was there a typhoon?"
Lu Wei folded his hands: "If you don't wake up, there will be a tornado."
Ye Zhi looked at Lu Weixun and Ye Xiaoding's gloomy faces and suddenly felt that she seemed to have misunderstood him.
Why does Lu Wei look a little fierce?
In just one night, the news that Lu Wei had brought home a wife spread throughout the military district’s family compound.
Everyone is very curious about Lu Wei, the childhood sweetheart.
When Ye Zhi and Lu Wei dragged a sleepy Ye Xiaoding out of the door, they heard several women's voices talking outside their yard.
Ye Zhi thought it was the neighbor next door, Sister He, whom she had seen last night, so she walked out quickly. Unexpectedly, she heard someone saying, "Is this Lu Wei's childhood sweetheart?"
The women looked at the girl with willow-shaped eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. She had long, shiny black hair that was braided into two thick braids and hung on her shoulders. Her eyes were dark and sparkling, and she had a small dimple on her palm-sized fair face when she smiled. She wore a simple shirt and long skirt, and she was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting.
Isn't she said to be ugly? ! !
