Ye Zhi took out the rewards from the factory one by one from the bag.
In addition to various dried seafood, dried fruits, sugar, there are also some bird's nests and fish maws, which are all edible.
In addition, there are two pieces of cloth, both of which are Dacron cloth specially provided for the troops.
Although Lu Wei's mother had sent some fabric over before, it was used up after making a few sets of clothes.
Ye Zhi thought that this year's Chinese New Year, Lu Wei's parents would come to the island to celebrate the New Year, and it would be nice to make them two sets of clothes with these two pieces of cloth.
Before Ye Zhi could pack up these things, Chen Fang came again with two old coconuts.
The island is already full of green coconuts, and the old coconuts have fallen to the ground without anyone even looking at them.
So Chen Fang didn't feel comfortable putting the old coconut into the things she was going to give to Ye Zhi.
Chen Fang looked at the mess on Ye Zhi's desk and said, "Comrade Ye, it's inconvenient for you to clean up with your big belly. Tell me where you put all this and I'll clean it up for you."
Ye Zhi waved her hands quickly: "No need, I can take care of all this."
It's just pregnancy.
It was summer when Ye Zhi first came to the island. She had seen many pregnant women working in the fields. She was just packing up some things, so what was the big deal?
Chen Fang still ignored Ye Zhi's obstruction and asked: "Just tell me where to put these, and I will put them away for you."
Ye Zhi felt a little embarrassed, and under Chen Fang's enthusiasm, she packed up with her.
Before I sat down, Chen Fang said, "I came here specifically to tell you how to stew the bird's nest. I thought you were alone at home and had no one to take care of you, so I came to see you."
Ye Zhi didn't know what to say at this moment, "You are too polite. I am embarrassed that you gave me so many things, and you still come to help me do this and that."
She just helped to call for help, but it was other comrades who really put out the fire.
Chen Fang laughed heartily and said, "Don't be polite to me. You and Captain Lu have both done me a favor. My little favor is nothing."
After Chen Fang's parents and in-laws found out about this, they all said they wanted to come and thank Ye Zhi and Captain Lu. But thinking of how cold Captain Lu was and didn't seem to like talking to people, Chen Fang came alone.
Most importantly, Ye Zhi also helped her get a promotion.
The factory manager said that she had protected the factory's property and was injured on duty. When she goes to work next year, she will be the deputy director of the workshop.
Ye Zhi had no choice but to accept this kindness.
As long as you don't send anything over, everything will be fine.
Next, Chen Fang soaked some bird's nest and then told her the steps of stewing the bird's nest with coconut.
It sounds simple. Just pour the soaked bird's nest directly into the coconut, then steam it for about an hour, and it's ready to serve.
But it takes several hours to soak the bird's nest, and Chen Fang had to go back to the factory for a meeting, so she left early.
Lu Wei did not come back for dinner that night, probably because he was still busy with the textile factory work.
Ye Zhi would not ask about matters within the army as they involved many secrets and Lu Wei was not in a position to talk about them.
But after the fire, Lu Wei seemed to be even busier. While others were packing their bags for the holidays and going home, he just called back and said he had to work overtime.
When Lu Wei returned home, it was almost time to turn off the lights. As soon as he came back, he saw Ye Zhi preparing to take something out of the pot. Lu Wei immediately stepped forward to help and said, "Wife, let me do it."
Lu Wei looked at the contents of the coconut and was stunned for a moment. Seeing this, Ye Zhi said, "These are the ones that Chen Fang brought over this morning. She asked the factory director to bring them over again."
Since Chen Fang helped her soak the bird's nest, Ye Zhi had to stew it to avoid wasting it.
Lu Wei said "Oh", and it seemed reasonable to take it over in the name of the textile factory.
Lu Wei placed the whole stewed coconut on the eight-immortal table, handed Ye Zhi a spoon, and said, "Eat something."
As the New Year was approaching, he had planned to go up the mountain to pick up some things for Ye Zhi to replenish her body, but he didn't expect that a fire broke out in the textile factory.
This one sent by Chen Fang is quite suitable.
After stewing, the bird's nest becomes crystal clear and looks like jelly. It is very smooth at first glance.
Ye Zhi scooped a spoonful and smelled a faint fishy smell, like the smell of egg white.
Lu Wei sat aside and said, "Our troops just held a meeting. They said they are going to hold a commendation meeting in two days. They will praise and reward you at that time. Will you go?"
Ye Zhi refused without thinking: "I won't go. It's your contribution to put out the fire. I feel ashamed of it."
Ye Zhi really didn’t think she had done anything remarkable, she just happened to encounter it.
When it comes to firefighting, Lu Wei and Li Guoliang made the greatest contributions.
Besides, she was pregnant and didn't want to run around anymore.
The textile factory has already given her a lot of rewards, and it is obviously unreasonable to ask for rewards from the army.
In addition, the textile factory has already given her a position as a formal employee, which is what Ye Zhi wants most.
At least you don’t have to worry about employment issues after giving birth.
Although Lu Wei's salary is quite high and the Lu family is a generous one, even if she doesn't work, Ye Zhi can still live a life that everyone envies.
But Ye Zhi knew that she couldn't just sit there doing nothing. Although the days of enjoying the flowers and the sea were quite pleasant, they would become boring after a while.
Anyway, there are still several years before the resumption of the college entrance examination and the opening of the market, so now is the time to gain some experience and enrich yourself.
Lu Wei said lovingly, "Okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go. It saves you the trouble of running around."
After listening to Ye Zhi's words, Lu Wei knew that she didn't want to be in the spotlight and cause gossip from others.
There are many family members in the family compound who have been there for ten or eight years and cannot even get a temporary job. Ye Zhi has only been there for half a year and is pregnant at home waiting to give birth, but she still got a formal job. Although it is a meritorious service, it is inevitable that she will be criticized.
Now that Ye Zhi is pregnant again, Lu Wei doesn't want these gossips to affect her mood.
Carrying two children is hard enough, and Lu Wei hopes that Ye Zhi can be more emotionally stable and happier.
Ye Zhi took a few bites and found it a bit fishy, so she pushed the coconut towards him and said, "You should have some too."
Lu Wei was reluctant and said directly: "Eat it. You have to absorb the nutrition of three people by yourself now, so eat more."
Recently, Ye Zhi's morning sickness has eased and she eats more than before. Lu Wei wishes he could give her all the best food.
After finishing his work at the textile factory, Lu Wei planned to go up the mountain to hunt a few pheasants and make some chicken soup for his wife.
Lu Wei looked at Ye Zhi's frown and asked, "Don't you like it?"
Ye Zhi stirred the bird's nest in the coconut and said, "It's a bit fishy."
"Then don't eat it, or you'll vomit again later. Wait for my mom to come over and let her stew it for you."
Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment: "This is not good, mom comes here and asks her to do housework."
Although Ye Zhi is pregnant, she still cooks for herself sometimes. She is still quite flexible at this month of the year, and she is also afraid that if she does nothing all day, it will be difficult to give birth, so she does what she should do.
Lu Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry, my mother has already prepared a nutritious meal for pregnant women. Just wait and eat it when the time comes."
Ye Zhi was inexplicably looking forward to it, so she gave the coconut to Lu Wei: "Finish this."
She is waiting to eat her mother-in-law's nutritious meal!
The next day, after Lu Wei conveyed Ye Zhi's words to Master Zhang, Master Zhang just smiled and said, "Okay, if you don't come, just give me the reward directly."
Lu Wei thought about it and said, "Okay, then I'll thank the teacher on behalf of my wife."
Commander Zhang looked towards Lu Wei. He was tall and slender, and seemed a little taller than his father Lu Xiangqian. He had a handsome face, and looked solemn and tough when he was not smiling. There was a chill in his dark eyes.
Before, Huang Qiuchan had always told him how good Captain Lu was to Ye Zhi, and that Lu Wei had accompanied Ye Zhi to the sea to watch the sunset, but he didn't believe it.
But just now, when Lu Wei mentioned his childhood sweetheart, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.
Commander Zhang thought for a moment that he was dazzled.
Commander Zhang added: "This is your contribution. In addition to rewarding your wife, the organization will also give you and Comrade Li Guoliang a third-class merit."
Lu Wei was promoted to group leader just half a year ago, and now he has been awarded merit again, although it is only a third-class merit. However, based on Lu Wei's ability, he will probably continue to be promoted next year.
Lu Wei saluted: "Thank you, Commander."
The news that Ye Zhi had received a reward from the organization spread throughout the family compound all of a sudden.
Everyone knew that Ye Zhi had made great contributions in protecting the property of the textile factory, and the textile factory and the army rewarded her with a lot of things and money.
The military wives in the family compound were so envious that their eyes turned red. They thought that Ye Zhi would lose her job because she was pregnant and that an extra position would be created.
Who would have thought that she could get a formal job even with a big belly!
That was not all, even the army gave Ye Zhi personal praise and rewards, a full hundred yuan!
What an honor this is!
It is almost the Chinese New Year, and Ye Zhi just waters the flowers and cooks at home every day.
Lu Wei helped her get the reward. Looking at the ten big unity tickets, Ye Zhi was wondering how to spend the money, after all, the New Year was almost coming.
But when I touched my increasingly big belly, I felt like I couldn’t go anywhere.
Lu Wei had just come out of the shower when he saw his wife touching her belly and sighing. He walked over and hugged her from behind, asking, "What's wrong? Are you not happy with the 100 yuan reward?"
Ye Zhi put the big unity into the drawer, locked it, and said, "I'm happy. How can I not be happy? I just don't know how to spend it, and I don't know where to spend it."
The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, so we need to prepare some New Year goods.
Before she was pregnant, she planned to go to Guangzhou to buy New Year's goods. Who would have thought that the two children would come so quickly.
Lu Wei hugged her up, then walked back to the bed, put her on his lap, and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Ye Zhi washed her hair, and her hair exuded a fresh fragrance. Lu Wei went over, hooked a strand of hair with his fingers, and sniffed it.
Ye Zhi leaned her head on his shoulder, smiled, and told him about her previous plan: "I had been thinking about going to Yangcheng to buy New Year's goods a long time ago. I heard that there will be a Spring Flower Market in Yangcheng before the New Year. It's very lively and there are many flowers and New Year's goods for sale."
She used to celebrate Chinese New Year in Guangzhou, which is particularly lively. Visiting the flower market is a Chinese New Year tradition. It is said that visiting the flower market can bring in some floral fragrance and drive away bad luck.
She had been looking forward to visiting the Spring Flower Market.
I heard that He Jinfeng is also planning to go back to Guangzhou in a couple of days, saying that she will go back there to celebrate the New Year this year.
Lu Wei smiled and said, "If you want to go, you can go over there and take a look. We can just take a boat with mom."
It’s just that riding on a boat is quite painful. Ye Zhi is prone to seasickness, and she’s pregnant too, so it probably doesn’t feel good for her either.
If you take a boat to Xuwen and then transfer to a bus to Yangcheng, it will be quite a hassle and take several hours by car. It is the New Year period now, so there are a lot of people.
Lu Wei really didn't want Ye Zhi to suffer this kind of pain.
Ye Zhi shook her head and said with a smile, "Why not just celebrate the New Year in Yangcheng? But you're busy and don't have that much time off. How about next year? Next year, our family will go together. This year we'll celebrate the New Year on the island, and next year we'll go to mom's place."
There were so many people at the Spring Flower Market that she was afraid that her stomach would be squeezed, so she decided to go to Guangzhou next year to feel the lively atmosphere.
Lu Wei hummed and said, "Okay, my mom should be here in a couple of days anyway."
"Oh, then I can't leave." Ye Zhi felt a little sleepy again, leaning lazily against Lu Wei's arms, and said softly: "And Chen Fang also came to me today and said that she would go to the county with me in two days. I heard that there are many things to sell in the county town here."
After Ye Zhi came to Qiongzhou Island, she roughly understood the location of the military camp, which would be the future Coconut City, the provincial capital of Qiongzhou Island, and would be quite lively.
Lu Wei said "hmm" and asked, "What are you going to buy?"
Ye Zhi was also confused for a moment, she didn't quite understand all this. In the past, the New Year's celebrations were always organized by the elders, and she basically didn't participate. She just bought some New Year flowers and snacks, and then watched the Spring Festival Gala with her family in the evening and ate melon seeds.
As for what to prepare for the New Year, Ye Zhi was not quite sure, but she would at least have to prepare some couplets and candies.
Ye Zhi still remembers that her elders would buy some bowls, chopsticks and other things every year, but in this day and age, even if the bowls at home were broken, no one would be willing to throw them away and they would continue to use them.
Ye Zhi remembered that there were many styles of bowls at home, and the good bowls certainly could not be thrown away, otherwise it would be like throwing away her rice bowl.
Since I don’t need to buy all these, it seems that all I have to do is buy some couplets, candies, etc.
I don’t know if we can set off firecrackers, probably not.
Ye Zhi then said, "Let's buy some couplets, candies or something. Do you want to buy anything?"
"There's nothing to buy." Lu Wei said, "If you want to go, I'll arrange a car for you."
Ye Zhi yawned, "Well, that's fine, let's go to bed early."
Lu Wei added: "Oh, by the way, I heard that Li Weimin's wife will be back tomorrow, you can go with her then."
Li Weimin's wife Zhang Guiying was supposed to come back two months ago. Just as she was about to come back, she heard that her mother's condition had recurred, so Zhang Guiying stayed with her for a while.
It was almost the New Year, and Li Weimin had been a widower for more than half a year. His mouth was bitter from eating in the cafeteria, so he begged his wife to come back.
Ye Zhi had never seen Li Weimin's wife, but she had heard Li Weimin and Lu Wei mention her many times.
Sounds like a nice guy.
It just so happened that He Jinfeng was going back to Guangzhou again, so she would like to have someone to keep her company.
At the same time, Shen Nanzhen had already boarded the ferry to the island.
Because there happened to be an exchange meeting at the military hospital on the island, Shen Nanzhen came early.
Moreover, she was taking a special train, so she would probably be able to dock early tomorrow morning.
Shen Nanzhen plans to go ashore tomorrow and go to her son and daughter-in-law's house as soon as possible.
Give them a big surprise.
Ana Shen looked at the endless darkness outside the window, and with a "yue", she began to feel seasick again.
The island is nice, but it's a bit far away.
But it was worth it for the son I hadn't seen for a long time and the daughter-in-law I had never met.
The next morning, He Jinfeng came over early and said, "Xiaoye, we are going back to Yangcheng soon. Is there anything you need me to bring?"
Ye Zhi and Lu Wei had just finished breakfast and were preparing to take a walk, so they said, "You don't need to bring anything. My mother-in-law will be here in a couple of days."
He Jinfeng said, "Vice President Shen is coming to celebrate the New Year this year. What about Commander Lu? Is he coming too?"
Ye Zhi nodded: "I should be here too."
I heard from Lu Wei that his father also took a few days off and planned to come over to visit.
He Jinfeng looked at Ye Zhi's belly and said, "That's good. Someone will take care of you. There's so much work to do during the New Year, so you won't be too tired."
After chatting for a while, Ye Zhi said goodbye to He Jinfeng and prepared to go to the pier.
Because they had a lot of luggage, He Jinfeng came to ask Lu Wei to drive them to the pier.
Guo Jicheng had already packed his luggage. When he heard that Lu Wei's parents were coming over to celebrate the New Year, he planned to talk to Lu Wei about doing housework.
Who knew that when he came to his yard, he saw Lu Wei hunched over washing dishes in the yard again, without any manliness at all.
As Lu Wei was driving them to the dock, before boarding the ship, Comrade Guo Jianli pulled Lu Wei aside and said, "Captain Lu, I heard that your parents will come to the island to celebrate the New Year. How can you spoil your wife like that? Washing clothes and dishes, what will happen if your parents see it?"
She doesn't even wash the dishes. Wouldn't such a lazy daughter-in-law be despised by her parents-in-law?
In fact, Guo Jianli was also doing this for Lu Wei's own good. After all, his wife got along well with Ye Zhi, and she had a lot more fun since Ye Zhi moved in next door.
The only bad thing is that Lu Wei is too hardworking, causing him to be nagged by his wife all day long recently.
His wife wanted him to wash the dishes last night!
In order to maintain the last front line, Guo Jicheng must win over Lu Wei to stand on the same front with him.
Lu Wei looked at the busy dock, glanced at Guo Jianli, and said, "What do you know? Just because my parents are coming, I have to spoil my wife even more. I want them to know that my wife can't be bullied by them!"
Shen Nanzhen, who had just stepped off the boat with two large bags of luggage, said: “???”
