On the morning of the first day of the new year, the wakeup call sounded in the military camp as usual.
The curtains in Ye Zhi's room were closed, but the warm sunlight outside the window still shone in faintly.
The sound of New Year's firecrackers could be heard intermittently outside.
Ye Zhi was lying flat on the bed, her long black hair a little messy on the pillow. She didn't want to get up at all. She slept until dawn last night and didn't even know whether Lu Wei came back to sleep last night.
She looked at the mosquito net above her head, and suddenly subconsciously touched the other side of the bed. There was nothing there. Lu Wei should have gotten up, or he might not have slept all night.
When she withdrew her hand, she found a string of pure white pearls on her wrist.
The pearls strung together are plump and lush, and emit a dazzling light, which looks very beautiful.
Was it sent by Lu Wei?
Just as she was staring at the pearl bracelet in a trance, the door of the room was pushed open. Lu Wei was wearing a grey shirt and black trousers.
There were legs below the waist, and Ye Zhi suddenly felt that a picture came into being.
Lu Wei rarely wears plain clothes. She usually wears military uniform. At night, she sleeps in the clothes she made before, and sometimes wears a sailor shirt.
Now suddenly wearing a well-fitting shirt and trousers, Ye Zhi couldn't take her eyes off him.
Especially since Lu Wei is tall, with broad shoulders and narrow hips, his powerful muscles make him look full of hormones. He is different from those big muscles that are specially trained. His is the kind of sexual tension that can make you fantasize at a glance.
Moreover, Ye Zhi had seen and touched Lu Wei's muscles, and they were well-proportioned and well-shaped, hiding enormous masculine power.
Lu Wei was obviously pleased by Ye Zhi's undisguised look. He closed the door, walked to the bed and asked, "Why are you awake so early? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Ye Zhi's thoughts had already flown into space. When she thought of how Lu Wei had tortured her in the past, her face suddenly turned red.
She turned her face away and said, "Wait a minute, I want to lie down for a while."
Lu Wei looked down at her, stretched out his hand to lift up the long hair that was sticking to her cheek, and said, "Well, there's nothing to do anyway, just lie down for a while."
Today is the first day of the new year and there are no activities organized in the family compound, so we arranged to watch a movie on the beach tonight.
So Lu Wei was not in a hurry to let Ye Zhi get up.
Ye Zhi paused for a moment, then raised her hand with a string of pearls, stretched it towards Lu Wei, and asked, "Did you string them yourself?"
Lu Wei asked: "Well, do you like it?"
Ye Zhi took her hand back and turned the white pearl bracelet with her other hand. She said, "I like it. It looks great. Did you spend a lot of effort on it?"
It is obvious that these pearls are different from the artificially cultivated pearls of later generations. They seem to be produced by clams. They are big and round, and each one is flawless. They are so beautiful.
It must have taken Lu Wei a long time to collect them one by one.
Lu Wei bent his lower lip and said, "It didn't take much effort. As long as you like it."
"Are mom and dad up yet?"
"Everyone is up. My dad is taking Xiao Ding to do exercises. Mom is in the kitchen making porridge and pancakes."
Ye Zhi wanted to lie down for a while, but then she felt hungry again and her stomach growled, so she decided to just get up.
As soon as Ye Zhi moved, Lu Wei held her arm and pulled her.
"I can smell the aroma of pancakes. Let's get up and have breakfast." Ye Zhi smiled and touched her belly.
It’s so nice to have my mother-in-law around. There’s food to eat when I wake up, and I can sleep again after eating.
You won’t be scolded!
Seeing this, Lu Wei suddenly squatted down, put his ear close to Ye Zhi's belly, and asked: "When will they move?"
Before, Lu Wei had been waiting for the fetal movement, but it seemed that it had not started yet. These few days, Ye Zhi said that it would move occasionally, and Lu Wei would sometimes listen intentionally, but he didn't hear it even once.
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "I don't know either. The fetal movements are not frequent yet, so you don't need to listen."
Besides, you can’t hear it, so shouldn’t you feel it with your hands?
However, Ye Zhi also felt happy when she saw Lu Wei burying his head in her belly and trying hard to listen to the fetal movements.
It proves that he cares about the child too.
The next second, Lu Wei suddenly said seriously: "Don't move, I think I heard it."
Ye Zhi: “…”
"Comrade Lu, I'm just hungry!" Ye Zhi pushed him and then said, "Get up. I'll change my clothes."
Ye Zhi is used to wearing pajamas at night and changing into regular clothes during the day.
Lu Wei stood up and said, "Let's change."
Ye Zhi was slightly stunned, then met Lu Wei's smiling eyes and said, "Then you go out."
Lu Wei touched his neck and said with a wry smile: "I've seen it all..."
Can't stand him!
Ye Zhi couldn't help but patted his shoulder and said, "Shame on you, get out now. I really need to change my clothes."
Ye Zhi loved beauty, even in the 1970s. Her clothes were all specially tailored. Even the maternity dress she wore with a big belly was in nice colors and embroidered with flowers.
When Huang Qiuchan saw it, she asked her to help make two sets.
Now her belly is getting bigger and bigger. Every time she takes a shower and looks at her belly, she feels it is ugly. There is a black line above and below her belly button...
It's horrible.
She didn't want Lu Wei to see it.
Fortunately, when Zhang Guiying returned to Qiongzhou Island, she brought her some snow frog oil, saying that it could help prevent stretch marks.
Now she applies it every morning and evening. Apart from the swelling of her stomach, there is no difference from before.
As if he could see through her thoughts, Lu Wei leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, saying, "I like you no matter what you become."
Ye Zhi said "hmm" perfunctorily and started to chase people away again: "Get out now, I'll change my clothes and leave."
When Ye Zhi came out of the room, Lu Wei was suddenly stunned.
She was wearing a new red dress today. Her skin, which was already fair, looked even whiter against the red background, like a white jade plate.
Meeting Lu Wei's gaze, Ye Zhi turned around in front of Lu Wei and asked, "How is it? Does it look good?"
"My mother bought this for me."
I was a little reluctant at first, thinking the color might be too bright, but now it seems okay to me.
Although she is pregnant, she is still beautiful.
Before Lu Wei could speak, Shen Nanzhen, who was busy in the kitchen, came out and said, “I said this skirt suits you very well, and you look very beautiful in it.”
Shen Nanzhen suddenly felt that it was nothing for Lu Wei to be attracted by her beauty.
She looked at Ye Zhi now. Even though Ye Zhi was pregnant, she was still very beautiful and radiant.
Who wouldn’t be moved by such a beautiful girl?
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Mom, you have good taste. The skirt you picked is beautiful."
Ana Shen was also very happy, "They all look good."
Now it seems that Lu Wei is really lucky.
Lu Wei stood aside, as if he was just a decoration, and ignored him.
Ana Shen brought out a pot of seafood and then said, “Come and have breakfast, there are porridge, dumplings, and pancakes.”
Considering that Ye Zhi’s taste was different, Ana Shen cooked another pot of porridge and made a few pancakes.
Not long after breakfast, Lu Xiangqian brought Ye Xiaoding back, and Ye Xiaoding's feet were covered with sand.
The two of them didn't say anything. After cleaning up, they sat together in silence and ate breakfast.
When Commander Lu went out, Ye Xiaoding suddenly took Lu Wei's hand and said, "Uncle, I will still go running exercises with you in the future."
He never wants to go with grandpa again!
His uncle took him to run on the muddy ground, and they could take a break, but his grandfather took him to run on the beach, without any break.
Lu Wei sneered: "Oh, you're just saying you want to run with me now."
What have you been doing so far?
Early this morning, Ye Xiaoding made a choice between him and Lu Xiangqian. Ye Xiaoding didn't know where he got the courage from, but he followed his father without thinking.
Well, let him see how powerful Commander Lu is, otherwise Ye Xiaoding would still think how strict he is with him!
I didn't expect that I would get scared after doing it the first time. It's really a test.
But it was only today. Lu Wei knew that Lu Xiangqian would go north to Beijing for a meeting at noon.
Ye Xiaoding cried and said, "Uncle, I was wrong!"
Crying so loudly.
Lu Wei smiled imperceptibly: "You can correct your mistakes. Forget it this time. I will wake you up tomorrow."
Ye Xiaoding raised his wet eyes and asked, "Uncle, everyone is on holiday, can't we take a few days off?"
Lu Wei crossed his arms, "No, can you go a day without eating?"
Ye Xiaoding: “…”
How are they the same?
Shen Nanzhen happened to hear it, and said, "Let him play for a few days. Xiao Ding is only a few years old. You can just take him to run a few kilometers, that's enough!"
Several generations of the Lu family have been soldiers. In the past, Lu Xiangqian liked to take Lu Wei for training whenever he had time. Later, when he was not free, he asked his grandfather to take care of him. Although Lu Wei was naughty when he was a child, he was also very miserable. Sometimes he would wake up children who were several years older than him while he was still asleep.
Ana Shen felt distressed just by looking at it.
It's no use saying it before.
Lu Wei said without being able to tell the emotion: "If others can run, he can run too."
Most of the boys in this military camp follow their fathers to do exercises. Although many of them are lazy, whether to do it or not is a matter of attitude and there is a big difference between them.
Ye Xiaoding ran to Ana Shen and said, “Grandma, actually running exercises is useful. My uncle has taken me to run for half a year, and I have grown taller. I was only here before, but now I am here.”
Ye Xiaoding gestured with his hands randomly, looking very cute.
Ana Shen then said, “Really? Stand by the wall, and let grandma measure you and make a mark. When grandma comes over next time, she will see if our Xiao Ding has grown taller.”
After having lunch together at noon, Lu Xiangqian said he was going to the airport.
Ye Xiaoding thought that Lu Xiangqian would stay here for a few more days like Shen Nanzhen.
In order to avoid running exercises with Lu Xiangqian, he told Lu Wei in the morning that he was willing to run exercises with him.
I never thought that grandpa would leave so soon...
He should have thrown a tantrum on the ground like Chen Zhian, holding onto his uncle's thigh and refusing to go for morning exercises!
》
Shen Nanzhen packed Lu Xiangqian's luggage and said, "There are a lot of dried mangoes, coconut candies, dried squid, dried abalone, and scallops in it. Give them to your parents when you return to Beijing."
Lu Xiangqian has to go back to Beijing for a meeting before going back to the southwest, so he must go home for a visit.
Although Ye Zhi had sent a lot of dry goods to the old man and his family before the New Year, it was cold there and the food needed to be stored for a long time, so she simply asked Lu Xiangqian to bring more so that they could give them to others or eat them themselves.
Lu Xiangqian said "hmm", looked at Lu Wei who had already helped him carry his luggage and walked out of the yard, and said, "Okay, you can stay here for a few more days, and call me if you have anything."
Although Shen Nanzhen and Lu Xiangqian had been quarreling for most of their lives, they were still a little reluctant to separate at this moment.
Ana Shen: “Well, go get busy.”
Lu Xiangqian sighed deeply, then said, "Okay, I'll be off then."
Ye Xiaoding knew that Lu Xiangqian was going to take a plane to Beijing, and suddenly shouted: "Grandpa, I want to see a big plane. I haven't seen a big plane yet!"
Lu Xiangqian touched Ye Xiaoding's head and said, "Then follow me." Then he glanced at Shen Nanzhen and asked, "Since Xiaoding is going together, do you want to go?"
Originally, Ana Shen planned to stay at home with Ye Zhi, but now Ye Xiaoding suddenly said that she wanted to go to the airport with her, and she was a little moved.
And since Lu Xiangqian asked this, he naturally hoped that she would go as well.
Seeing this, Ye Zhi said, "Mom, we don't have anything to do today anyway, why don't we all go to the airport to see Dad off."
With Ye Zhi's words, Shen Nanzhen also agreed.
She was afraid that Ye Zhi would be alone at home without anyone to take care of her, so she stayed at home to accompany her.
Lu Wei drove a military green jeep towards Yingshan Airport in the county town.
Also coming this time were Division Commander Zhang and Commander Li.
They were in the same car with Lu Xiangqian and were talking about things the whole time.
The airport in the 1970s was crude but the procedures were simple. When Lu Xiangqian arrived at the airport, two people in military uniforms came to pick him up.
Lu Xiangqian said a few words to Division Commander Zhang and Commander Li, then walked towards them and said, "I'm leaving now. You guys stay here."
Shen Nanzhen nodded. At this moment, she didn't know when she would see him again, and her emotions were a little up and down.
Lu Wei stood to the left front side of Shen Nanzhen, blocking the view of others, and then said to Lu Xiangqian: "Dad, have a safe journey."
Lu Xiangqian looked at Lu Wei, who was taller than him, and said, "Yeah." Lu Xiangqian paused and said, "Although you have made a contribution, it was just luck. You still have to be down-to-earth to carry out the revolution."
Lu Wei saluted Lu Xiangqian: "Yes, Chief."
Lu Xiangqian said nothing more, glanced at Shen Nanzhen and Ye Zhi behind Lu Wei, and then boarded the plane under the guidance of two military comrades.
Ye Xiaoding looked at the not-so-big plane and asked Ye Zhi beside him, "Aunt, can this plane really fly into the sky? It doesn't have wings, how can it fly?"
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Plane does have wings, but the ability to fly mainly depends on fuel."
Ye Zhi also gave Ye Xiaoding some knowledge about airplane flying.
Ye Xiaoding asked again: "Besides airplanes, are there other things that can fly in the sky?"
Ye Zhi replied patiently: "In addition to airplanes, rockets can also be used. Rockets can fly higher than airplanes."
When Ye Xiaoding heard this, he immediately became interested and asked curiously: "Can I fly into the sky on a rocket in the future?"
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Not yet, but I think it will be possible in the future."
In the near future, our motherland will achieve manned aviation, and she is not lying.
Ye Xiaoding shouted excitedly: "Then I want to fly into the sky on a rocket and see the shining stars!"
Ye Zhi looked at Ye Xiaoding, who looked childish, and didn't want to extinguish his dream, so she smiled and said, "If you want to ride a rocket, you have to study hard and contribute to the aviation industry of our country in the future. Maybe you will realize your dream."
Hearing this, Ana Shen couldn’t help but echo Ye Zhi’s words: “Your aunt is right. If you want to achieve a dream, you must first work hard on your own.”
Ye Zhi and Shen Nanzhen didn't know that it was this conversation today that would make Ye Xiaoding's dream of space travel come true.
After returning home, Ye Zhi did not take a nap, but followed Shen Nanzhen to her comrade's house.
I heard from Ana Shen that it was a doctor from their military hospital, so I took Ye Zhi to visit him and check on the condition of the fetus.
Because Shen Nanzhen will be going back to Guangzhou in a few days, the next time she comes will probably be after Ye Zhi gives birth.
She was worried about Ye Zhi being left alone, so she went to find her comrade-in-arms.
They stayed there until almost evening, and when they returned home, Lu Wei had already prepared dinner.
When they were about to eat, Zhang Guiying came to their house and said, "Captain Lu, Xiaoye, there's a movie showing on the beach tonight. Let's go watch it together later."
Ye Zhi came to this era and had never seen a screen, let alone watched a movie.
They were in a hurry in Guangzhou last time. When they went to a state-owned store to buy things, they seemed to pass by a movie theater, but they didn't go in because they were short of time.
Ye Zhi will definitely join in the fun tonight.
Lu Wei said, "Xiao Ding had eaten early and has already gone to the beach to reserve a seat."
Zhang Guiying laughed and said, "Then I'll go to the beach later and ask Xiao Ding to help me take up two more seats."
After dinner, everyone went to the beach together. Although it was not completely dark yet, there were already quite a few people on the beach. They all knew that there would be a movie showing tonight.
Lu Wei brought two stools and asked Ye Zhi to sit down. However, Ye Xiaoding didn't want to sit on the stools and sat directly on the beach, saying it was comfortable and cool.
Shen Nanzhen happened to meet the leader of the military hospital, and sat down with that person to discuss things.
Ye Zhi observed the surrounding environment and asked, "Do you know what movie will be shown later?"
Lu Wei mentioned a name, and Ye Zhi smiled and said, "I've never heard of it."
Her favorite movies in the past were comedies and science fiction films, and she had hardly ever watched any movies from this era.
Lu Wei said, "Next time we go to Yangcheng, let's go to the cinema and watch a movie. I heard there are color ones."
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Really? Then next time we go to Yangcheng, let's go to the cinema."
Soon, the projectionist started playing the movie.
Movies of this era were still in black and white, with revolutionary themes, and everyone enjoyed watching them.
But as time went by, Ye Xiaoding, who had been playing in the sand for the entire afternoon, fell asleep next to Lu Wei's legs.
Ye Zhi didn't take a nap in the afternoon, so she was feeling drowsy. She didn't know when she leaned on Lu Wei's shoulder and fell asleep in a moment.
On the way back, Shen Nanzhen carried the sleeping Ye Xiaoding on her back, while Lu Wei planned to carry Ye Zhi home.
Who knew that just as he was about to hug her, Ye Zhi woke up, met his eyes, and smiled, "I fell asleep?"
The movie was actually very exciting, but because Ye Zhi didn't sleep at noon, she had to sleep at least ten hours a day to avoid feeling sleepy, so she fell asleep while watching the movie.
Lu Wei then said: "You didn't rest in the afternoon."
Ye Zhi watched the people on the beach slowly disperse, tidied up her slightly messy hair, and then said: "Why don't you carry me back later? I don't want to leave."
It's pitch black anyway, who cares about you?
Lu Wei moved closer to Ye Zhi, looked down at her, and smiled: "I couldn't ask for more!"
He just wanted to carry her back, but Ye Zhi suddenly woke up.
When there were not many people left, Lu Wei picked her up and slowly walked towards home.
Ye Zhi hugged his neck with both hands and asked, "Am I heavy?"
Although she had been vomiting for two months before, she had been eating and sleeping well since Ana Shen came, and she drank two large bowls of coconut chicken soup tonight. Would she have gained a lot of weight?
Lu Wei lowered his eyes to look at Ye Zhi who was laughing in his arms, and the corners of his lips curved up involuntarily, saying, "Not bad."
Ye Zhi smiled and muttered, "I wonder if you can still hold me when I'm ten months old."
Your belly must have been very big by then, right?
I heard from He Jinfeng that when she was ten months pregnant and ready to give birth, she gained more than ten pounds.
She has two in her belly, does that mean she has to double the number?
Ye Zhi couldn't help but frown when she thought about the fact that she had suddenly gained twenty or thirty pounds.
The sea breeze blew, and Lu Wei whispered in her ear: "Wife, please have confidence in me. You will know when the time comes when I hug you again."
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Okay."
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Shen Nanzhen was about to set off back to Yangcheng.
Lu Wei and Ye Zhi both went to the dock to see her off, and Shen Nanzhen said, "I will arrange for Chen Ma to come over then, so you don't have to worry, Lu Wei."
After the New Year, Lu Wei will definitely be busy again. Moreover, since he has made great contributions during the New Year, there may be tasks assigned to him.
Ye Zhi's belly is more than four months old now, and Ye Xiaoding will have to go to school by then. I am really worried that there is no one at home to look after him.
Ye Zhi said, "Yeah, thank you, Mom."
Ana Shen pursed her lips, “We are a family, don’t say these polite words, it’s mom who doesn’t have time to take care of you, you better not be angry with mom.”
"How come? Mom, you have a job, and there are more people who need you."
Of course Ye Zhi wouldn’t be angry about this, Ana Shen was really good to her.
He really treats her like his own daughter.
Ana Shen tucked Ye Zhi's fallen bangs and said, "It's windy at the dock, go back quickly, it's time for Mom to get on the boat."
After saying goodbye to Chen Nanzhen, Ye Zhi and Lu Wei went to the post office to send a letter to her parents, and also sent some dried fruits and seafood.
During the Chinese New Year, Ye Zhi called her parents, but the call couldn't get through, so she sent a telegram.
Now it seems that sending letters is the most reliable way. Although it takes a little time, you can write more things.
When she arrived at the post office just now, the postman took a look at the things she wanted to send and asked, "Are you Comrade Ye Zhi?"
Ye Zhi nodded: "That's me."
The postman then said, "Wait a minute, I remember there's a letter for you." Then he began to rummage in the basket.
Seeing this, Lu Wei asked, "Did your parents send you a letter so soon?"
Ye Zhi said: "I don't know either, but didn't he send the telegram just during the Chinese New Year?"
When the postman handed the letter over, Ye Zhi glanced at the unfamiliar handwriting and frowned: "Ye Hongying? Why did she send me a letter?"
