Early in the morning of the first day, Lu Wei was awakened by the military bugle call in the camp.
The sun rises quickly in the summer mornings, and the light is blinding through the windows before the curtains are hung.
Lu Wei blinked his eyes and felt a slight headache. He felt a little groggy and stared at the new mosquito net above his head for a while.
It was not until the bugle call stopped that he slowly regained consciousness. He felt a little hot and saw a thin blanket covering his stomach.
Lu Wei did not remove the quilt at the first moment, but subconsciously reached out to the other side of the bed, but found nothing.
Ye Zhi has already gotten up.
Lu Wei slowly clenched his fists, hammered lightly on the hard bed, felt a little annoyed, and sighed slowly.
——Drinking is tiring.
It’s all Li Weimin’s fault. Why did he ask him to drink for no reason?
Lu Wei sat up slowly, raised his hand to rub his dizzy head, relaxed for a while, put on the slippers beside the bed, and walked out of the room.
It was already bright outside. I saw a large casserole of scallop and bean curd porridge and a few steamed buns on the eight-immortals table in the living room. The porridge was still emitting white hot steam, which meant it must have been freshly cooked not long ago.
There was a cup of brown tea next to it, and I didn’t know what kind of herbal tea Ye Zhi had made.
However, Ye Zhi was nowhere to be seen in the living room.
He walked to the water tank next to the kitchen, picked up the enamel cup and toothbrush neatly placed on the windowsill, then scooped a spoonful of water from the water tank, filled the enamel cup, squeezed some toothpaste, and walked to the sink to brush his teeth.
The sink is in the kitchen, and the water used to wash dishes and vegetables is poured into it.
After washing, Lu Wei didn't rush to eat breakfast, but walked out to the yard.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw the clothes he had changed last night, which were now hanging wetly on a rope in the yard. Next to them was Ye Zhi's clothes, also dripping with water.
Ye Zhi was clearing the weeds in the yard that she had removed yesterday.
She took a hoe and unskillfully hooked the weeds into a pile.
After being exposed to the sun all day yesterday, the grass was dry. Ye Zhi bent down again, picked up the dry grass, shook off the dirt on it, and put it aside.
Ye Zhi seemed to sense Lu Wei's presence, looked up, and said with a smile: "Are you up?"
"Yes." Lu Wei walked towards her, took the hoe from her hand, and said, "Let me do it. You go wash your hands and have breakfast."
Ye Zhi was sweating as she watched the sun rise. She didn't refuse and handed him the hoe, saying, "Put these dried grasses in the kitchen later. I'll use them to make a fire."
Lu Wei said, "Okay."
Ye Zhi looked at Lu Wei thoughtfully, remembering how well-behaved and serious he was last night after he got drunk. She suddenly smiled and asked, "Did you know you were drunk last night?"
When talking about last night, Lu Wei felt so upset that his stomach ached.
He raised his hoe, bent his waist slightly, and hooked the dried weeds on the ground to his feet. He replied indifferently, "Yeah, a little bit."
After a pause, Lu Wei continued, "I didn't say anything last night, did I?"
He seldom drinks, and when he gets drunk he just goes to bed quietly, so he probably doesn't say anything.
He felt that he was conscious, but his brain, paralyzed by alcohol, was still a little dull.
I couldn't remember whether I had said anything excessive to Li Weimin or Ye Zhi.
Ye Zhi joked, "You don't remember?"
Ye Zhi remembered that after Lu Wei got drunk, he was like normal, taking a shower and sleeping as usual. Except for his lisp, he seemed no different from usual.
The wine is pretty good.
Unlike some people who take advantage of being drunk to shout and bang the tables and chairs.
What's worse, some people would beat and kick others once they were drunk.
But Lu Wei didn't seem to be like that. Instead, he was no different from usual. His drinking habits are like his character.
With a good family background, good looks, good figure, and decent character, Ye Zhi found herself as if she had picked up a treasure and couldn't help but smile.
He looked at Lu Wei as if he were a precious treasure.
Lu Wei felt Ye Zhi's undisguised scrutiny and swallowed subconsciously, saying, "I can't remember clearly."
Originally, last night was supposed to be their 'wedding night', but who knew...
Ye Zhi smiled and didn't intend to continue teasing him. She said, "I made you some hangover tea. Come back and drink it after you finish sorting out these weeds."
Seeing him neatly tidy up the weeds, Ye Zhi went to the small pond in the yard, turned on the faucet, and washed her hands with soap. After washing her hands, Ye Zhi went into the house.
Lu Wei watched Ye Zhi's pretty figure disappear at the door of the house. He put his hands on the hoe, looked at the gradually brightening sky, and sighed.
It didn't take Lu Wei long to move all the weeds in the yard into the kitchen. After washing his hands, Lu Wei returned to the living room. As soon as he sat down, Ye Zhi handed him a bowl of sobering tea and said, "Drink this."
Lu Wei said nothing and drank the sobering tea obediently under Ye Zhi's supervision.
Lu Wei, who was furious, looked at Ye Zhi, who was the only one drinking porridge at the table, and asked, "Where's Xiao Ding?"
Ye Zhi raised her chin towards a small room and said, "Still sleeping."
After saying that, Lu Wei walked towards Ye Xiaoding's room. Ye Zhi called him softly, "Don't call him. Let him sleep. He has nothing to do anyway."
Children sleep a lot, and only if they get enough sleep can they grow well.
Besides, Ye Xiaoding was just a little kid with nothing to do, and even the bugle couldn't wake him up. He must have been too tired yesterday, so he couldn't get up today.
Lu Wei snorted, his face cold: "How can you stay healthy if you sleep in at such a young age?"
Ye Zhi: “…”
I didn't know how to refute it.
On the other side, Lu Wei had already walked into Ye Xiaoding's room, and then twisted Ye Xiaoding out like he did yesterday.
Lu Wei folded his hands, looked serious, and said, "I'll give you three minutes to wash up."
Ye Xiaoding looked at Lu Wei in a daze with sleepy eyes. He seemed to be a little out of shape. He even yawned loudly, as if he could continue to sleep at any time.
Lu Wei raised his hand, glanced at the watch on his wrist, and said, "Two minutes and forty-one seconds left."
Ye Xiaoding rubbed his eyelids, which were almost unable to open, with the back of his hand and asked Lu Wei: "Uncle, where are we going?"
He remembered that he had told Ye Zhi before going to bed last night that she didn't need to take him with her if they went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
He wouldn't be afraid even if he slept alone at home.
Lu Wei raised his thin lips and said, "Take you to do some exercise." Then he added, "Two minutes and thirty seconds."
Ye Xiaoding cried out twice, but dared not disobey, and quickly moved his short legs towards the wash basin.
Of course Ye Zhi would not speak for Ye Xiaoding at this time.
Although it was quite cruel to wake Ye Xiaoding up, running exercises with Lu Wei was also a form of exercise.
Moreover, she could tell at a glance that Lu Wei was "getting angry". It must be because she got drunk last night!
You get drunk yourself, and you blame others?
Ye Zhi sat at the dining table, blew gently on the fragrant scallop porridge, ate it in small bites, and didn't even look at Lu Wei.
But she knew that Lu Wei must be looking at her at this time.
Not long after, Ye Xiaoding ran out of the kitchen quickly, his face covered with water droplets, and even a few drops were on his hair. It was obvious that water had been splashed on his face and he didn't even wipe it with a towel.
Seeing the two figures, one big and one small, walking out the door, Ye Zhi asked, "Don't you want to eat something?"
"Come back and eat." Lu Wei took Ye Xiaoding out without looking back.
When Ye Xiaoding went out, he looked back at Ye Zhi, as if asking her for help.
Ye Zhi turned a blind eye and only smiled softly when the two figures disappeared at the door.
Miser!
Lu Wei led Ye Xiaoding out of the yard, and then at the fork in the road, chose the direction towards the military camp and ran.
Ye Xiaoding is still too young, and if he runs on the beach he probably won’t be able to run anymore after a while.
I had to choose a flatter dirt road to run on.
The bugle call had already sounded for a while, and there were already many soldiers doing drills in the camp. Every new recruit who saw Lu Wei timidly shouted in unison, "Good morning, Lu."
Only after Lu Wei ran far away did everyone dare to look back at the little boy he was leading.
The news that Captain Lu had married a childhood sweetheart spread throughout the military camp a few days ago.
But I didn't say anything about bringing a baby.
How come there is such a big boy?
On the other side, Lu Wei led the short-legged Ye Xiaoding to continue running forward, but Ye Xiaoding was quite good at jumping up and down, but when it came to running seriously, he was like a soft crab, breathing with his mouth open, looking extremely tired.
Not long after running, Lu Wei met Li Weimin, who looked energetic. He had just come out of the family compound.
Li Weimin also saw Lu Wei and thought that this guy was really energetic. He actually led Ye Xiaoding to do exercises so early in the morning. His clothes were soaked with sweat, so he must have been running for a while.
Li Weimin walked forward with a smile and teased, "Hey, Captain Lu is newlywed, and you're getting up so early to do exercises?"
Lu Wei looked back at Ye Xiaoding who had fallen a long distance behind, and simply stopped.
He felt annoyed when he saw Li Weimin's smiling face, and poked his back teeth with his tongue in dissatisfaction, "Do you think everyone is like you? Don't you see what time it is now?"
Li Weimin glanced at Ye Xiaoding, who was sitting on the side of the road panting, and then walked to Lu Wei's side, smiling and asking, "As expected, people are in high spirits when they are happy! How was it? Did you make your bed collapse after drinking last night?"
Lu Wei: “…”
Lu Wei looked at him silently without saying anything.
Li Weimin was making faces beside him, and his annoying look made Lu Wei want to beat him up.
Li Weimin knew Lu Wei's personality. Seeing his silent face, he knew that he didn't like this kind of joke, so he asked, "Sister-in-law's cooking is really delicious. I dreamed of eating braised pork last night. Um, can I go and have a meal at noon?"
Lu Wei: "Don't even think about it."
I hate to let him set foot in his house again!
Li Weimin touched his nose and said, "Stingy guy, you don't have to cook, can't I just buy the groceries?"
Lu Wei snorted, "No, cook it yourself."
Li Weimin cried out, "My wife has gone back to her parents' home, right? How can I cook? I've been eating in the cafeteria for almost a month..."
Lu Wei didn't even look at him, "Get lost!"
Li Weimin was so angry that his teeth itched. Suddenly, he laughed and said, "Old Lu, it seems that your vacation is over. Is it your turn to lead the cruise this time?"
Lu Wei: “…”
Silence again.
Lu Wei looked at Li Weimin beside him and asked through gritted teeth: "Haven't we practiced for a long time?"
After he finished speaking, Li Weimin's expression changed and he waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, no, how can I be your opponent? Go find the new recruits under your command to practice. I have something else to do in the camp, so I'll leave first!" After that, Li Weimin ran away. He was no longer interested in chatting.
Lu Wei looked at Li Weimin's fleeing back and sneered.
Then he shouted at Ye Xiaoding: "Didn't you eat? Why are you running so slowly?"
Ye Xiaoding sat aside with his legs apart, and cried out, "Uncle, I didn't have breakfast this morning!"
“I really can’t run anymore!”
Lu Wei smacked his lips and looked at Ye Xiaoding who was panting. He thought, forget it, he had already run two kilometers.
Lu Wei glanced at the time, then walked to Ye Xiaoding and said, "Then let's go back."
Ye Xiaoding immediately jumped up happily and said, "Yeah! That's great! Uncle, I'm starving! I want to eat three steamed buns later!"
Lu Wei said expressionlessly: "Run back."
Who isn’t hungry?
I'm hungry too.
Not only am I hungry, I'm hungry everywhere.
Ye Xiaoding followed behind Lu Wei, jogging again with a bitter face.
It’s too early to be happy!
After Lu Wei took Ye Xiaoding home for a simple breakfast, he told Ye Zhi about the sea cruise they were going to go on in the afternoon.
Ye Zhi was a little surprised when she heard this. She really didn't expect Lu Wei to leave her so soon.
After the little power outage last night, Ye Zhi felt that she was a little bit dependent on him.
what to do?
Lu Wei wiped the bowls in the iron basin with a rag and said, "He should be back in two days. I'm not at home, so you and Xiao Ding should be careful. I brought a flashlight from the office and put it on the shelf in the bathroom. If there is a power outage, you just use the flashlight, understand?"
"I've given you the money and notes, so don't be reluctant to spend them. Eat and drink. If you don't want to cook, go to the cafeteria and don't tire yourself out."
"If you need help with any heavy work, you can go to the northwest and ask those new recruits to help. They are from our Sixth Regiment."
This was the first time Lu Wei was nagging like this, and it was to a woman.
In the past, he could finish a sentence in one sentence instead of two.
Moreover, I don't even bother to talk nonsense with others about these details of life.
He became independent at a very young age, and has always made his own decisions and handled everything on his own, both in life and work.
He left his parents very early and lived in a military academy.
Sometimes he would get impatient with his parents' nagging questions. Whenever his mother called to ask him if he had adapted to the military academy, if he had worn more clothes, if he had enough food, etc., Lu Wei would always say: How old am I...
Then, his mother gradually stopped talking to him about these things.
Every time I pick something important to talk about.
However, today he actually started nagging Ye Zhi because he was worried about her and Ye Xiaoding being at home alone.
Ye Zhi lowered her eyes and nodded: "I understand, you should also pay attention to safety when you go on a cruise."
Lu Wei seemed to have thought of something, and then he said slowly: "I never mind you bringing Xiao Ding to the island."
"I thank him."
After coming back from running, Lu Wei gradually remembered what happened before going to bed.
He also remembered what Ye Zhi had said to him.
Lu Wei really didn't have too many thoughts about Ye Xiaoding. He only knew that Ye Zhi brought him up and they had a deep relationship.
For him, having Ye Xiaoding is not a burden but a good thing.
In their military camp, it is not uncommon to see that many comrades have one or two relatives of martyrs in their families.
Ye Xiaoding is the child that Ye Zhi raised since childhood. Not only does he have feelings for her, but he can also serve as a comfort to Ye Zhi when Ye Zhi is on a mission and accompany her so that she won't be lonely and helpless in a strange and distant environment.
The weather on the island is unpredictable. From time to time, there will be a sudden downpour. Sometimes there will be lightning and thunder in the middle of the night. Even worse, when a typhoon passes, it is common for trees to fall and houses to collapse.
If Ye Zhi was alone at home, he would never feel at ease.
Although there are many other neighbors in the family compound, they are never as close as a relative who can be called at any time.
Moreover, as a soldier defending his country, Lu Wei has also experienced many incidents involving gunfire and rain of bullets.
Some survived, some died heroically.
Some people also experience mental breakdown after experiencing hardships.
In this age where even basic needs such as food, clothing, housing and transportation are not guaranteed, people tend to ignore emotional problems.
But Lu Wei had also witnessed his comrades-in-arms often suffering from nightmares due to stimulation, and eventually their spirits slowly collapsed.
Although Ye Zhi's condition was not as serious as those others.
But as long as there was a slight possibility, Lu Wei didn't want this to happen.
Ye Zhi looked at him, her eyes a little wet. She didn't hear Lu Wei's response last night, and she was actually very nervous for a long time.
Regarding this matter, Ye Zhi felt that she always owed Lu Wei.
Lu Wei smiled, stretched out his hand and pinched Ye Zhi's fair cheek, and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Just tell me if you have anything to say."
A red mark soon appeared on Ye Zhi's fair face, even though he clearly didn't use any force.
How can it be so tender?
Lu Wei withdrew his hand and gently wiped it with his fingertips.
Ye Zhi pushed his hand away and smiled, the dimple on her lips sunken, "Okay, got it."
"Thank you, Lu Wei."
I am really grateful to him for giving her so much trust and support when they didn't know each other well.
Lu Wei is a good person.
He is also a person worthy of trust.
Ye Zhi thought again that Lu Wei was leaving.
Why……
Lu Wei looked at her sparkling eyes. Her charming appearance made him unable to help but lower his head and peck her cheek, saying, "You're being polite again?"
After thinking for a while, Lu Wei whispered in her ear: "So, I am sorry for making you wait for so long last night."
"We had agreed to build it last night..."
Ye Zhi's eyes widened, and she reached out to cover his mouth. She immediately understood what he meant, and gritted her teeth and said, "You're drunk! Next time."
Lu Wei raised his hand and took away Ye Zhi's soft hand that was pressed against his lips. A smile appeared on his lips and he said, "I will be back in two days, and I will definitely satisfy you then."
Ye Zhi bit her lip, glared at him, and said through gritted teeth: "Do you still have any shame?!"
Lu Wei felt that his skin seemed to have become a lot thicker. In the past, he would never think about these matters between men and women all day long, let alone talk about them casually.
Lu Wei looked at her deeply and chuckled: "How can you still have the face to face your own wife?"
Ye Zhi felt that she was deceived by Lu Wei's serious appearance.
This person is not serious!
Ye Zhi glared at him angrily: "Before you go on the cruise, turn over the land in the yard for me. I want to grow vegetables."
Lu Wei: “…”
"Okay, I'll go look it up later."
Ye Zhi tilted her head and looked at him in disbelief. He agreed so quickly?
Lu Wei put the cleaned bowl on the workbench, met Ye Zhi's distrustful look, and said, "If I don't turn the ground, you have to do it. It's better for me to do this kind of heavy work."
I can’t bear to see my wife tired.
Hearing this, Ye Zhi smiled gently, took a towel, and wiped the water off Lu Wei's hands.
She smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Lu. Please turn over the three plots of land first, the one on the left side of the kitchen exit. Don't touch mine on the right side. I have other uses."
Lu Wei took the towel handed over by Ye Zhi, wiped it casually, and then threw the towel aside, "What are you doing on the right?"
Ye Zhi smiled and said without hiding anything: "Plant some flowers and a tree!"
When she went to Sister He's house yesterday, she saw that her yard was full of various vegetables and fruits, including a guava tree and a mango tree. She felt greedy when she thought about the fruits she had to eat.
This is Qiongzhou Island, a paradise for fruits!
Moreover, there is no restriction on growing some fruits to eat in the military camp, as long as you know how to grow them.
Ye Zhi started thinking yesterday whether to plant mangoes or not...
Anyway, I must plant a mango tree!
After hearing this, Lu Wei raised his eyebrows, seeming to agree, "We'll plant whatever you say."
Ye Zhi nodded happily and just wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if she could find some saplings.
Who knew that before she turned around, Lu Wei reached out and pulled Ye Zhi into his arms, lowered his eyes to look at her, and said, "Then give me a reward."
"No candy! Anything else!" Lu Wei added.
Ye Zhi was suddenly embraced by Lu Wei. She immediately looked towards the kitchen door in panic, fearing that she would be seen. She said in panic, "What reward do you want? How old are you?"
Every time Ye Zhi gave Ye Xiaoding candy as a reward, Lu Wei always looked disdainful, as if he didn't like Ye Zhi doing this.
Afraid that she would spoil Ye Xiaoding!
How come this person isn't afraid of being spoiled now that it's his turn?
But Lu Weiyi refused to compromise. Ye Zhi struggled twice, but the arms around her waist did not move at all, instead they got tighter and tighter.
Ye Zhi stopped struggling, stood on tiptoes, and kissed Lu Wei on the face.
"Is that all right?"
Lu Wei curled his lips, obviously not very satisfied. His dark eyes stared directly into Ye Zhi's crystal clear eyes, as if to say: Is that it?
Ye Zhi bit her lower lip and quickly bumped into his lips, causing both of their teeth to hurt.
Lu Wei also chuckled as if nothing had happened, let go of Ye Zhi, picked up a hoe from behind the kitchen door, and walked out.
"I'm going to plow the soil."
After Lu Wei finished turning over the three pieces of land, he returned to the military camp and officially rejoined the team.
Ye Zhi, who stayed at home, spent a leisurely afternoon with Ye Xiaoding.
The main reason is that the afternoons on Qiongzhou Island are too hot and sunny. As soon as Ye Zhi saw the scorching sun, she didn't want to go out and just wanted to stay at home and drink tea.
Fortunately, she still had a pack of Longjing tea, and after boiling a pot of water, she rushed to drink it.
Although the weather is hot, drinking sweet tea still makes people feel indescribable joy.
Because Ye Xiaoding was forced by Lu Wei to run in the morning, he fell asleep on the floor of the living room as soon as he finished his meal.
Ye Zhi now sweeps the floor every day, but because there is a mud yard outside and she goes in and out frequently, it is inevitable that some sand and dirt will be brought in. This kind of red brick is particularly dusty, and the living room is actually not very clean.
At least in Ye Zhi's opinion, it is not clean.
But Ye Xiaoding said, "The floor is cool. I like this floor."
In this age without electric fans, let alone air conditioning, sleeping on the floor is actually the coolest way to stay cool.
However, Ye Zhi still couldn't bear it, so she took a mat and put it on the ground, letting Ye Xiaoding sleep on it.
Not long after, the little guy fell asleep on the mat.
During this time, He Jinfeng came over and saw Ye Xiaoding sleeping on the ground. She quickly shook Ye Xiaoding and said, "Don't sleep on the ground. You have rheumatism."
Ye Xiaoding woke up for two seconds, but then he turned over and fell asleep again.
It's really tiring.
Sister He stopped arguing with him.
Ye Zhi said, "It's okay, I'll carry him back to bed later. Sister He, do you want to talk to me about something?"
He Jinfeng handed her a sea fish she had brought back from the supply and marketing cooperative and said, "I exchanged this with the local villagers today. They rowed their boats out to sea to catch these fish. They are quite fat fish. I asked for two, but I thought I couldn't finish them, so I brought one over for you."
When Ye Zhi got up today, she tidied the yard and cooked some sobering soup for Lu Wei. She didn't go to the supply and marketing cooperative. She had originally planned to have just a simple meal with Ye Xiaoding in the evening.
Who knew that He Jinfeng brought her fish.
Ye Zhi pushed and shoved twice, but finally accepted the fish under He Jinfeng's enthusiasm and said, "Thank you, Sister He."
"Talking about this! I'm in a hurry to go back to the supply and sales place. I'll come back and talk to you later." After saying that, He Jinfeng rode away on her 26-inch Phoenix brand bicycle.
Ye Zhi went out to the yard and fetched a basin of cold water. Then she processed the fish, marinated it with salt, and put it in a cooler place.
You can steam it and eat it tonight.
After catching the fish, Ye Zhi looked at Ye Xiaoding who was sleeping on the ground. After thinking for a while, she decided to carry him back to the small room to sleep.
The bed that Ye Xiaoding slept on was the one that Lu Wei used to sleep on in the dormitory. The pillow, quilt, and mosquito net were all used by Lu Wei before.
After Ye Xiaoding lay back on the bed, he moved a few times and fell into deep sleep again.
Ye Zhi also lay down and pulled the quilt over, smelling a bit of Lu Wei's unique sandalwood scent on it.
Not long after, Ye Zhi also fell asleep.
Lu Wei was not at home, so Ye Zhi scattered lettuce seeds on the tilled soil on the first day and also planted a bunch of water spinach.
Qiongzhou Island is too hot and many vegetables are not suitable for growing.
But she knew that macaroni would grow well.
The water spinach was grown from turnips, which Ye Zhi exchanged with local villagers early in the morning. In addition, she also asked them for seeds of local peppers, cucumbers and loofahs.
The cucumbers here are thick and short, with thick and hard skin and a whitish body. They are not the long and thin ones with white thorns in Ye Zhi's hometown.
This kind of cucumber is not suitable for smashing, but it is quite good when stir-fried.
Farming is not an easy task. Ye Zhi was busy for a whole day before she planted the vegetables and fruits, and then she watered them at dusk.
Many neighbors who knew that Lu Wei had gone on a cruise and deliberately passed by their house were a little incredulous when they saw Ye Zhi busy in and out of the yard all day long.
She looks delicate, but she is quite skillful in doing farm work!
Compared to the desolate scene of the yard before, Ye Zhi's yard is now very clean, and it is obvious that they know how to live.
Li Shufen also deliberately passed by several times, thinking that Ye Zhi was someone who couldn't even cook.
But after a few times, I saw her working in the yard all day long, and suddenly I realized that she was quite hardworking.
It doesn't match her delicate image at all!
After looking at it twice, Li Shufen curled her lips and left.
Ye Zhi used to be a blogger, and could be considered a half-pastoral blogger. Although she had never practiced it before, she still had a lot of theoretical knowledge.
Now she finally has a piece of land for her to practice. Although it is tiring and she has to take some detours, it is a lot of fun.
happy!
Moreover, people in their flower-growing family are born with some farming skills in their genes!
They would never have imagined that in the future, the organization would bring farming skills to the sky!
Ye Zhi looked at the three vegetable plots that were watered, stretched her aching waist, and said to Ye Xiaoding who was digging a hole, "Xiaoding, what does Jin Wan want to eat?"
When the weather gets hot, I don’t feel like eating that much, and Lu Wei is not here, so I can just make something casual.
Ye Xiaoding was squatting in a small pit and said weakly, "I want to eat meat!"
Ye Zhi looked at Ye Xiaoding crouching in the pit and laughed: "What are you doing squatting there?"
Today, Ye Xiaoding followed a group of children to the village early in the morning, but did not go in the afternoon because it was too sunny.
Ye Zhi simply asked him to help dig a hole to plant bougainvillea and frangipani trees. Today, Lu Wei started digging, but then he hurried back to the military camp and stopped digging.
Ye Zhi asked Lu Wei, bougainvillea and frangipani trees can be found in many places, if you want to plant them, just apply and go dig them.
Ye Zhi planned to wait for Lu Wei to come back and then apply to dig it up and plant it in the yard.
Look, Ye Xiaoding has helped dig a lot now. This kid looks thin, but he is actually quite capable.
Ye Xiaoding threw the shovel aside, curled up in the pit and sighed softly: "It's cool in here, I can even feel the coolness on my butt, it's comfortable."
Ye Zhi looked at him, looking listless, and said, "Go wash your hands and eat some walnut pastry first. I'll go cook now."
When Ye Xiaoding heard that he could have a snack, his thin body jumped up from the pit and washed his hands quickly.
Ye Zhi saw that there was still mud on his wrist and said hurriedly, "Wipe it off for me, there's still mud! You'll have a stomachache later!"
Ye Xiaoding muttered a few words, rubbed it vigorously with soap, and after washing, he opened ten fingers to show Ye Zhi: "Take a look, is this okay?"
Ye Zhi nodded: "It's OK, go by yourself, it's in the cabinet."
Ye Xiaoding ran into the house as fast as he could: "Okay!"
After drinking the water, Ye Zhi looked at the bright red sunset in the sky and turned back to the kitchen to cook.
When she walked into the kitchen, she looked at the empty space next to it, which was connected to He Jinfeng's house next door, separated by a wall.
A passage about two meters wide was formed.
Looking at this piece of land, Ye Zhi decided to catch a few chickens to raise tomorrow!
Li Shufen's home.
She brought out the last dish of vegetables cooked in the kitchen. Her husband Liu Guorong had already washed his hands and sat down at the dining table.
After Li Shufen placed the dishes on the eight-immortal table, she asked, "Did you see the new military wife when you came back today?"
Liu Guorong drank the loofah and egg drop soup cooked by Li Shufen and asked calmly, "Lu Wei's wife?"
Li Shufen said, "Yes, she is very beautiful. Have you seen her?"
When Liu Guorong came back, he did pass by Lu Wei's yard, but there was no one in the yard at that time.
I did see it in the morning, but I only caught a glimpse of it from a distance and couldn't see it clearly.
Liu Guorong said, "I saw it."
Li Shufen picked up a piece of mussel and gave it to her son who was sitting next to her. She then asked Liu Guorong, "Is she very beautiful?"
Liu Guorong paused while picking up the food and glanced at his wife. His wife was actually quite good in all aspects.
He is good-looking, well-educated, and is also good at managing the household.
But he loves to compare himself with others, especially in appearance. Whenever a new military wife comes, the first thing she asks is whether she is pretty or not.
Liu Guorong doesn’t even know what she looks like, so how can he know whether she is pretty or not.
Then he said casually: "It's OK."
Li Shufen exhaled a breath from her nose and then said, "It's okay. It's very beautiful, right?"
Liu Guorong: “…”
"Not ugly."
Li Shufen curled her lips and didn't ask any more questions, but just didn't talk to him.
Liu Guorong then casually said, "It's useless to be good-looking. Captain Lu's family may not be very satisfied."
Li Shufen became interested and quickly put down her chopsticks and asked, "How did you know?"
Liu Guorong regretted saying it a little. In fact, he had just heard a few words from the political commissar's office and was not quite sure.
When Lu Wei came back from a mission, he also got a childhood sweetheart wife. Everyone was very curious. Someone passed by the political commissar's office and heard Lu Wei say that when he returned to Yangcheng, he did not bring his new wife back to meet his parents.
Everyone in the military camp knew that Lu Wei's father was the commander of the Yangcheng Military Region, but because his son was in the same province, in order to avoid suspicion, he applied for a transfer to the Southwest Theater not long ago.
But when Lu Wei came back, Commander Lu's transfer order had not come down yet. Lu Wei's mother also worked at the Yangcheng Military Region Hospital. Logically, their son and daughter-in-law had to transit in Yangcheng, so the two elders would at least meet them.
But Lu Wei said that Commander Lu had gone to the Southwest Theater, and his mother was also out for a meeting and did not meet him.
How could it be such a coincidence?
Some people said that this marriage was arranged by Mr. Lu, and guessed that Lu Wei's parents might not like it and that's why they didn't want to see them.
But everyone also said that.
For the sake of unity in the military region, they forgot about it after they said it and pretended they didn’t know about it.
Liu Guorong didn't want to say more at this moment, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, so he said: "I just guessed it casually, don't spread it around."
Li Shufen has been in the military for so many years, so she certainly knows that she shouldn't spread rumors casually.
If it wasn't true, not only would she be embarrassed and accused of being a gossip, but it might also implicate her husband. She wasn't that stupid.
However, Liu Guorong is not the kind of person who only relies on hearsay. He must know something to say that.
Li Shufen took two bites of rice and snorted, "It's none of my business, why should I criticize her?"
Liu Guorong glanced at her and said, "Then why are you so curious about me?"
Li Shufen: “…”
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything nonsense anyway!"
Although she said so, when Li Shufen saw Ye Zhi going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy vegetables on the first day, she couldn't help but curiously mention Lu Wei's parents to others.
The military camp circle is so small, and everyone knows something about Lu Wei's parents.
Some of the military wives who were very outgoing stopped Ye Zhi and started chatting with her when they found out that Ye Zhi was Lu Wei's childhood sweetheart.
Ye Zhi was buying vegetables when she was stopped by an aunt to chat with her. The aunt asked her whether Lu Wei's parents got along well.
Ye Zhi frowned, but still answered truthfully: "I haven't had time to meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law yet. They are very busy."
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a difficult problem since ancient times, and it is also the most common topic of complaint among mothers-in-law when they get together.
There are also many people in the military camp who live with their mother-in-law or father-in-law. Once they go out, they can't help but complain to others about their mother-in-law...
This is nothing new.
Every family has its own problems.
Someone asked after hearing this: "No way? Isn't Captain Lu's mother the vice president of the Yangcheng Military Region Hospital? No matter how busy she is, she won't be busy until late at night, right?"
Ye Zhi kept smiling and said, "My mother-in-law happened to be out of town for a meeting. She has been very busy."
It's normal for a vice president to be busy until late at night.
I heard from Lu Wei that his mother is a neurosurgeon!
What a great mother-in-law.
Someone smacked his lips and said sarcastically, "Wow, you don't even have time to meet me, you must be really busy."
Ye Zhi heard the man's mockery and said coldly, "Wait until you become the deputy dean.
