Ye Zhi walked over quickly, only to see Lu Wei subconsciously take a step back and say, "I'm dirty, don't come close."
After drifting on the sea for two days, Lu Wei felt that he smelled like sea salt.
Not to mention that his wife despises him, he even despises himself.
When Lu Wei saw Ye Zhi really took two steps back, he felt bad again. His wife really disliked him.
Lu Wei curled his lips, then took the green net basket off his shoulders, placed it beside the pond in the yard, and said, "Don't mess with these things, I'll do it when I come back."
Ye Zhi looked at the net basket and saw a few lobsters with their claws and fangs bared, as well as a large pile of seafood, fish, octopus, etc.
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Well, I won't do it. I've taken a shower."
Lu Wei couldn't help but smile and said, "No wonder I smelled the sweet fragrance as soon as I came back."
I really miss the days when I would hold my wife in my arms while sleeping.
After saying that, Ye Zhi slowly recalled what Lu Wei had just said, and asked, "Do you still want to go out?"
Lu Wei turned on the faucet, scrubbed his hands carefully, washed his face, and said, "Yes, I encountered some problems while out at sea, and I have to go back for a meeting later."
Ye Zhi was stunned. No wonder it took him so long to come back.
The first thing she did was to go over and take a look at Lu Wei to see if he was injured. She found that except for his wet clothes, everything else on him was intact, so she asked curiously, "What happened?"
"It's hard to say now."
Hearing this, Ye Zhi stopped asking questions and said, "You're soaked all over. I'll go boil some water for you to take a bath."
Lu Wei was not in a hurry to take a shower. He had already washed his hands and face. At this moment, he couldn't help but want to go forward and kiss his wife.
Who knew that before he met his wife, he heard steady footsteps from behind, and saw Lu Xiangqian walking in with Ye Xiaoding on his back.
I saw Ye Xiaoding lying on Lu Xiangqian's back, not sure whether he was asleep or what.
Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment, and asked anxiously: "What happened to Xiao Ding?"
They were out to sea for two days and one night, and Ye Zhi was worried the entire time.
When I heard Lu Wei say that he encountered some problems just now, my heart was suddenly lifted.
Lu Wei glanced behind him and said, "It's okay, he was just too tired and fell asleep."
The ship going out to sea is not even as big as the ferry from Guangzhou to Qiongzhou Island. How could it not be tiring after drifting on the sea for two days?
Otherwise, Ye Xiaoding would have thought how much fun it would be to go out to sea.
There was a street lamp on the side of the road outside the yard. Under the dim light, Ye Zhi saw that Lu Xiangqian, who had been majestic and serious, now looked a little haggard.
Ye Zhi quickly stepped forward, ready to take Ye Xiaoding from Lu Xiangqian's back, and shouted, "Dad, let me catch Xiaoding."
Who knew that Lu Wei had already taken Ye Xiaoding off Lu Xiangqian's back before her and said, "I'll do it."
Then, Lu Wei shouted to Ye Xiaoding in his arms: "Xiaoding, wake up, we are home, get up and take a shower before going to sleep!"
Ye Xiaoding moved his eyelids sleepily and fell asleep again. Lu Wei directly carried him into the house.
Ye Zhi ignored him and quickly walked to Lu Xiangqian's side and asked, "Dad, are you okay?"
Lu Xiangqian was wearing a thin army green jacket, which didn't look like his uniform.
Lu Xiangqian waved his hand and said gently: "I'm fine."
Lu Xiangqian didn't look too well, and he was obviously a little tired, but his body was still straight and his spirit was not diminished at all.
Ye Zhi didn't ask too much and followed him back to the house.
Shen Nanzhen, who was writing a report in the living room, heard the noise and came out wearing a thin coat. Seeing Lu Wei holding Ye Xiaoding, she asked, "Are you asleep?"
Lu Wei nodded and replied, "Yeah, I'm seasick and tired." Then he put the person on the wooden sofa in the living room.
Seeing that Ye Xiaoding was still asleep, Ana Shen covered him with a thin coat.
Lu Xiangqian and Lu Wei didn't say anything else. They took a cold shower one after another and changed into dry clothes.
Not long after, a jeep arrived outside the yard, saying that it was here to pick up Lu Wei and Lu Xiangqian.
Before leaving, Lu Wei had already sorted out all the seafood and put them all in the kitchen. He said to Ye Zhi, "I may be back late tonight, so you don't have to wait for me."
Ye Zhi nodded: "Okay, then you should be careful."
Lu Wei lowered his head, pecked her on the lips, and said, "Then I'll go out, you go to bed early."
Lu Wei and Lu Xiangqian had just left when Ye Xiaoding, who was sleeping on the wooden sofa, woke up.
I looked at the furnishings in the house in a daze for a few seconds, and then I realized that I was back home.
As soon as Ye Xiaoding saw Ye Zhi sitting next to him, he asked, "Aunt, where are uncle and grandfather?"
Seeing that he had woken up, Ye Zhi said, "Go back to the meeting."
Ye Xiaoding said "oh" twice in a dull voice, and then said excitedly: "Aunt, my grandfather and I saw turtles when we went out to sea! What a big turtle!"
Ye Zhi's eyes also lit up, "Then you are really lucky."
Ye Xiaoding talked excitedly about going out to sea, saying that the boat drifting on the sea was like a swing, which was so much fun.
He also said that there are many colorful fish in the sea, which are so beautiful.
Ye Xiaoding said with admiration in his eyes, "My uncle took a fork and jumped directly into the sea. I was almost scared to death. He didn't come out for a long time..."
"But after a while, he came out of the sea and caught a blue and white fish. It was a huge one!"
Ye Xiaoding kept talking and Ye Zhi listened very carefully.
Because she was also very curious about what they did when they went out to sea.
By the end, Ye Xiaoding's saliva was a little dry from talking, but he still couldn't explain what had happened, so Ye Zhi sent him to take a shower.
Ye Xiaoding had just finished taking a shower when the lights went out.
Ye Zhi was always worried about Lu Wei. She was half asleep and half awake at night and couldn't sleep well.
I don’t know when, but when Ye Zhi woke up the next day, Lu Wei was holding her in his arms and sleeping soundly.
Lu Wei is a light sleeper and is very alert. Due to her pregnancy, she often has frequent urination and has to get up at night to go to the bathroom.
Every time Lu Wei knew to wake up, then he would light a flashlight for her and accompany her to the bathroom.
But this time, Lu Wei was sleeping very soundly, and he didn't wake up even when she turned to the side.
Ye Zhi just looked at him like that.
The sleeping Lu Wei looked less fierce. His facial features were deep and handsome, with a high nose, sword-like eyebrows, and thin lips. He was very handsome even when he was asleep.
Ye Zhi leaned over gently and kissed Lu Wei on the cheek.
The next second, Lu Wei's phoenix eyes opened, he reached out and pulled Ye Zhi into his arms, then lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, his long tongue going straight in.
I don’t know how long it took, but Ye Zhi felt Lu Wei’s hands wandering everywhere, along her waist all the way up, and he was about to accidentally go off.
Ye Zhi reached out and pushed him hard, and Lu Wei let her go. Then he smiled and said, "Good morning, my wife."
Because he had just woken up, Lu Wei's voice was a little low and hoarse, but it sounded very nice.
Ye looked into his deep black eyes filled with desire and her face immediately turned red. She thought he was sleeping soundly and was probably just pretending.
Ye Zhi didn't bother with him anymore. She moved closer to his neck, gently inhaled the sandalwood scent on his body, and said, "Today is New Year's Eve. I won't stay in bed today."
Lu Wei smiled gently and said, "Lie down with me for a while, I want to hug you."
Ye Zhi said, "No, my parents are here."
Lu Wei's parents were sleeping next to him.
Lu Wei is so alert, his dad must be even more alert, right?
Ye Zhi didn't want to be laughed at by her parents-in-law.
Lu Wei smiled, but his hands did not stop moving. His rough fingertips rubbed against her smooth skin, causing her to tremble slightly.
Lu Wei lowered his head and kissed her lips again. Ye Zhi subconsciously closed her eyes and responded to him.
Ye Zhi's heartbeat became more and more disordered, and her face felt hot, but she couldn't help but lean towards Lu Wei.
Only after Ye Zhi moaned did Lu Wei let her go, his breathing a little confused, "Don't move, I just want to hug you."
Ye Zhi bit her lip. Who made the first move?
If there weren’t other people around, he would definitely be in trouble!
Ye Zhi was silent and sullen. She lazily nestled back into Lu Wei's arms and listened to his heartbeat.
Just when Ye Zhi was about to fall asleep again, Lu Wei suddenly said, "We encountered two stowaways when we were out at sea."
Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, Lu Wei said, "When we were preparing to return, we also caught an iron lump."
Ye Zhi was still in shock, and then asked: "What is it?"
Lu Wei whispered three words in Ye Zhi's ear, and Ye Zhi's eyes widened immediately, and she said excitedly: "Captain Lu, you have done a great job!"
Ye Zhi remembered that Lu Wei was promoted to team leader just last year. He had made achievements so quickly. Wouldn't that mean he could be promoted again in two years?
Lu Wei smiled and said, "The periscope has been handed over to the relevant department. This matter will not be announced."
Ye Zhi nodded vigorously, then made a zipper motion on her lips and said, "I promise the organization that I won't tell!"
Lu Wei looked at Ye Zhi's shining eyes and immediately thought she was very cute. He couldn't help but kiss her again and said, "It's okay. There were several other boats out to sea together, but they just happened to be caught in our boat's net."
There was more than one ship going out to sea this time. In order to provide the soldiers with good food and drink during the New Year, other people went out together.
It’s just that the sea areas that everyone went to were all different, and they only came back together when they returned.
Lu Wei discovered that every time he went out with his father, he would always encounter strange things.
The time he ran five kilometers on the beach when he was eight years old was because he encountered enemy spies and they took him to chase the enemy.
I took him to the mountains when he was thirteen because he encountered jackals. I was afraid that they would harm the villagers living down the mountain, so I simply took him to hunt down the wolves.
This time he went out to sea, saying he was going to catch some seafood, but he ended up fishing out a lump of iron. The organization directly awarded him a second-class merit.
Lu Wei suddenly found that his father was quite reliable.
The two of them whispered something about the iron lump in bed.
At seven o'clock, Ye Zhi stopped making trouble with Lu Wei, got up quickly, and went to divide the pork.
Today is New Year's Eve. Not only will the family compound slaughter pigs for the New Year, but each household in the compound will also be given a running sea duck.
But when Ye Zhi came out, she saw that Lu Xiangqian and Shen Nanzhen had already brought back the pork and duck, and behind them was a happy Ye Xiaoding carrying a chicken.
You got up so early?
Ye Zhi thought she got up very early today.
After Lu Xiangqian rested, he returned to his previous seriousness. But maybe it was because today was New Year's Eve, but he looked a lot kinder.
Lu Xiangqian grabbed a running sea duck and followed Shen Nanzhen, and suddenly said, "Comrade Shen, let's eat Jingshi's roast duck today. You can make one later."
Ana Shen turned around and smiled: "Okay, it's rare that you make a request, how can I not satisfy you? But the chicken has been slaughtered, and there is no feast without chicken."
"Okay, kill them all!"
Shen Nanzhen knew that Lu Xiangqian was happy for her son. He came back so late last night, so he got up early this morning with her to go to the quarters to distribute pork and duck.
And thinking that Lu Xiangqian would be returning to the troops in the Southwest Theater tomorrow, Shen Nanzhen felt a little reluctant.
The couple have been together for most of their lives, and although both of them are busy, they have always been in the same military camp.
I didn't expect that we would be separated at this age. I'm a little bit uncomfortable.
After Ana Shen entered the living room, she saw Ye Zhi getting up, so she said, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? It's still early."
Shen Nanzhen and Lu Xiangqian deliberately let Ye Zhi and his wife sleep a little longer before getting up early to divide the pork, but they didn't expect Ye Zhi to get up so early.
Ye Zhi stepped forward, took the pork leg and tube bone from Shen Nanzhen’s hand, and said, “Today is New Year’s Eve, and I thought about getting up early to cut two window decorations.”
Because the windows in my house are made of glass, it would look nice if I put some window paper-cuts on them.
As soon as Ye Zhi finished speaking, Lu Wei came out of the room and said, "Then I'll put up the couplets."
"Oh, you're all awake?" Shen Nanzhen saw that her son had also woken up, so she said, "Comrade Xiao Lu, your dad said he wanted to eat Beijing roast duck today. After you finish pasting the couplets, help me put up the pot on the stove, and we'll use that stove to roast it."
Lu Xiangqian listened to Ana Shen's words and touched the back of his head. Why did he have to specifically say that he wanted to eat?
Can't we all eat together?
Hearing this, Lu Wei responded readily: "Okay, then I'll eat something first and then post the couplets."
By the time Lu Wei finished eating, Shen Nanzhen had already cooked a bowl of glutinous rice paste for pasting couplets.
Ye Xiaoding curiously scooped a little with his fingers, put it in his mouth, and frowned: "Hmm, so sticky!"
Lu Wei bent his index finger, tapped him lightly, and scolded him: "You put everything in your mouth, and you will get a stomachache sooner or later."
Ye Xiaoding went out to sea for two days and ate only tuna, which he kept frozen with ice. He couldn't eat much at first, but later he was the one who ate the most.
In the end, the tuna wasn’t enough, I even wanted to put the rosehip in my mouth, what a waste!
Ye Xiaoding stuck out his tongue and said, "Grandma said this is rice paste and it's edible. If you don't believe me, ask grandma."
Lu Wei glanced at him, and Ye Xiaoding tactfully stopped talking, then stood further away to let Lu Wei check whether the couplet was pasted correctly.
Lu Wei hasn't used this thing for many years. He used to do it with his comrades in the army.
The last time he celebrated the New Year with his parents was when he first entered military school. Later, even though he and his father were in the same military camp, they never celebrated the New Year together.
Because either he was on a mission or Commander Lu was on a mission, and they have never been able to take the annual leave together.
Moreover, his previous role was Ye Xiaoding, but unexpectedly he is now married, has a wife and is planning to have two more children.
Lu Wei suddenly felt unprecedented happiness. After pasting the couplets, he hugged Ye Zhi, who was carefully cutting paper-cuts, and kissed her hard.
Ye Zhi glared at him, subconsciously glanced at Lu Xiangqian who was killing and plucking ducks outside the yard, and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Too indecent!
Lu Wei smiled and said, "No, I just suddenly wanted to say thank you."
Ye Zhi rolled her eyes at him unhappily and said, "After you put up the couplets, put up the window paper-cuts as well. I'll help your dad pluck the duck feathers later."
Lu Wei immediately saluted Ye Zhi and said solemnly, "Yes, Chief!"
Ye Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and guessed that Lu Wei was probably so happy because he had made a contribution.
Comrade Lu Xiangqian, who was plucking duck feathers outside the yard, suddenly looked towards the open window of the living room.
Did he hear it wrong?
Why did he seem to hear Lu Wei calling him again?
The one you’re calling is dad!
It’s New Year’s Day, so infuriating!
But it’s New Year’s Day and we can’t curse at people, which makes me even more angry!
By the time Lu Wei had finished pasting a few window decorations, Lu Xiangqian on the other side had already cleaned the ducks. He saw him stringing the ducks together with iron wire and hanging them under the eaves to dry.
Shen Nanzhen had already cleaned the wire rack used for grilling and placed it on the stove. She also prepared a few wire racks for roasting ducks.
I saw her taking honey, cooking wine and white vinegar from the workbench, preparing to make the seasoning.
The honey was sent by Chen Fang, and there were several jars of it.
Ye Zhi didn't dare to eat it when she was pregnant, and only put a little bit when cooking sugar water.
While waiting for the duck's skin to dry, Shen Nanzhen took out some flour and kneaded it to make dumplings.
Ana Shen couldn’t find the rolling pin, so she asked, “Son, where is the rolling pin?”
Lu Wei raised his voice and asked Ye Zhi: "Wife, Mom asked where the rolling pin is, where did you put it?"
Ye Zhi was making shrimp balls. When Lu Weiyi called her, she responded, "Put it on the cabinet above the workbench."
It was obviously Lu Wei who put it there. She had told him not to put it so high, but Lu Wei told him to do the rolling of the noodles.
However, when Lu Wei cooked for her before, he had this problem and always liked to ask her where things were placed.
Sometimes, even though he clearly put the things there himself, he still likes to ask her.
Lu Wei obviously has a good memory, one could even say he has a photographic memory, so how come he forgets things as soon as he gets home?
Lu Wei was tall, and he quickly saw that it was indeed on the cabinet, so he gave it to Ana Shen.
Ana Shen rolled her eyes at him unhappily: “You are so tall that the rolling pin can see you, but you can’t even see the rolling pin.”
Lu Wei was scolded by his mother for no reason and felt a little depressed.
He touched his nose, followed her out to the living room, and helped make dumplings.
Ye Zhi on this side had just prepared the shrimp balls and was helping to make dumplings.
Lu Wei originally wanted to roll the dough, but Ana Shen disliked that he didn’t roll it thin enough or round enough, so she sent him to deal with the seafood.
Ana Shen said: “It’s not as good as your dad’s. Look at the dough your dad rolled, it’s thin and round, so you knew how to eat it before.”
Lu Xiangqian didn't want to roll the dough at first, but since his wife had said so much, there was no reason for him not to roll it.
So he picked up the rolling pin, and without saying a word, he started rolling the dough.
Ye Zhi saw it and felt happy.
Even if he is the leader, what he likes most is the praise from his wife.
After the dumplings were wrapped, firecrackers were heard one after another in the local area. At noon, everyone ate dumplings.
After eating the dumplings, everyone went back to their own business, and no one knew what they were busy with.
Not long after they finished eating dumplings, Lu Xiangqian took Ye Xiaoding out, saying they were going to buy firecrackers.
Not long after, Li Weimin and Zhang Guiying came over with dumplings, and then Chen Fang also brought some brown sugar rice cakes.
Ye Zhi also sent them some New Year snacks, such as fried rice cakes, fried dough sticks and smiling dates.
Seafood is something that cannot be given away as it is available in every household.
Fortunately, Lu Wei’s mother brought a lot of local New Year snacks from Guangzhou. Since most of them are fried and require a lot of oil, many people are reluctant to make these snacks, so everyone likes them very much.
Shen Nanzhen knew that Li Weimin and Lu Wei had a good relationship, so when they went back, she said, “Weimin, come over for a drink tonight, I’ll make roast duck later.”
Lu Wei felt a headache when he heard about drinking, and recalled his lost wedding night.
Li Weimin smiled and said, "Okay, Auntie, I haven't eaten your roast duck for a long time. After dinner tonight, I will have a few drinks with the chief and Lu Wei."
Seeing that Lu Wei wanted to speak, Ye Zhi whispered to him, "It's New Year's Day, please be nicer to me."
Lu Wei closed his mouth.
After Li Weimin and the others left, Shen Nanzhen was not idle either. She went outside the yard to get a duck that had been dried and brought it to the kitchen and started roasting it.
Ye Zhi was very curious, so she sat aside to watch and picked the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner.
But who knew that Lu Wei, who was lighting the fire, said, "Wife, go back and have some sleep."
Ana Shen also said: “Yes, Xiaoye, go back and take a nap and rest. We are enough here.”
Ye Zhi said, "But I want to take a look."
Lu Wei: "What's there to see? I'll take you back to Beijing and you can see as much as you want."
When Ana Shen heard what Lu Wei said, she suddenly sighed: “I haven’t been back to Beijing for the New Year for many years. I’ll call your grandparents later.”
Before Lu Wei was seven years old, he grew up in Beijing. Later, Lu Xiangqian was transferred to the south and has been living in South China for more than 20 years.
Speaking of Jing City, Ana Shen added: "It should be snowing in Jing City right now. When Lu Wei was a kid, he made snowmen with others. He was young at that time, and he didn't know it was cold. After making a snowman, his hands were frozen red by the snow."
Ye Zhi is from the south and has never made a snowman, so she was very curious about what she heard.
I am also curious about Lu Wei’s childhood.
Ye Zhi smiled and asked curiously, "Mom, was he naughty when he was a child?"
Lu Wei cleared his throat and said, "It's a long time ago. Can you please not mention it?"
It's so embarrassing.
Shen Nanzhen flipped the duck and said, "He's naughty, and Lu Wei is the naughtiest one. I remember when he was five or six years old, he climbed onto the roof to catch a cat. He stepped on the tile roof of the courtyard and made a hole. He fell directly from the roof, scaring his grandparents half to death."
When Shen Nanzhen thought of this, she felt that Lu Wei was lucky. It was snowing at that time and the roof was slippery. Even if he didn't fall through the roof, he might have rolled down from the roof. If Lu Xiangqian had not come back in time and caught him, who knows what the consequences would have been.
Shen Nanzhen added: "I used to love snowball fights, and I don't know how many windows at home I broke with those snowballs."
Ye Zhi thought it was just an ordinary skin, but after hearing what Ana Shen said, she couldn’t help but imagine the situation at that time, and her heart was in her throat.
She looked at Lu Wei, but Lu Wei just lowered his eyes embarrassedly and looked towards the stove.
No wonder Lu Wei wants a daughter.
What if I had two sons and both were as naughty as him?
Lu Wei suddenly smiled at her and mouthed: Don't listen to my mother.
Shen Nanzhen roasted the duck and prepared to make the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Ye Zhi couldn't help it and went back to take a nap. Who knew that she would fall asleep until it was almost time for dinner.
When she went to the kitchen to help, seven or eight dishes were already placed on the workbench.
In addition to fish, shrimp and crab, there are also lobster, roast duck, steamed chicken with mushrooms, dumplings, etc.
The kitchen is almost full.
