Chapter 131

It’s not a good thing for Sang Xiaoqing.

When she came, Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen kept asking her to go to the island with Xu Wen.

Let’s see how Xu Wen is doing.

I was afraid that Xu Wen would only report good news and not worries.

Xu Wen couldn't decide on this matter.

Lu Yuanzheng nodded: "Of course. Relatives are allowed to visit. But, are you and my second brother free?"

This is the bad thing about doing business. Once you open for business, you can't just close it.

Sang Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "There is no big space, but there are a lot of small spaces."

For example, the time between meals was her free time.

Xu Wen thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to go, I'll pick you up on Saturday afternoon. You can close the door at night and come back to the island with me. Then come back early the next morning!"

This way it won't hinder the couple's business.

"This..." Sang Xiaoqing hesitated, "Will it be dangerous for you to come here alone so late at night?"

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head: "It's okay, I can come with Wenwen. If I have something to do and can't ask for leave, I will arrange for someone to escort her."

Xu Wen frowned when he heard this, "Will this cause too much trouble for you?"

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head: "No. It's normal for family members to visit relatives. And now the family area and the camp area on the island are basically separated, so it won't affect anything."

Even in a compound where family buildings and important military areas are located in the same courtyard, there are only partial traffic restrictions, but no direct prohibition on entry.

So they made an agreement that next week Xu Wen would come to pick up Xu Wen and Sang Xiaoqing to visit the island.

There was still more than an hour left before returning to the island after dinner. Lu Yuanzheng looked at his watch and signaled everyone to move freely, but they had to return to the team on time.

"Want to go shopping?"

Xu Wen yawned and shook his head, "I've been here a lot lately, but there's nothing much to see."

Lu Yuanzheng glanced at her and said, "You seem to be able to sleep well recently!"

Xu Wen now spends most of the day sleeping, which is really not like her style.

Xu Wen nodded, "I feel sleepy in spring, tired in autumn, and take naps in summer. Now it is autumn, the season has changed, so it is normal to feel a little sleepy. It's just that my period is not normal, which makes me a little troubled."

She had been experiencing the precursor to her period these past few days, with lower abdominal discomfort and chest pain, which lasted for almost a week. As a result, her period was only a little bit and disappeared in a day.

Lu Yuanzheng saw a Chinese medicine clinic across the street and asked her, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Xu Wen waved his hands and said, "I don't want to go."

Lu Yuanzheng saw that she looked fine, but she was easily sleepy, so he did not force her.

In the evening, the group returned to the island.

The postman heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Xu Wen: "Oh! Sister-in-law, you're back! Your letter."

Xu Wen saw the postman holding a stack of envelopes that was at least 50 centimeters thick and was a little shocked: "Are they all mine?"

"Yes! What have you done? Why do you have so many letters?"

Xu Wen was also a little confused.

Lu Yuanzheng walked over to the postman and took the letters. There was a thick stack of letters, at least several hundred in total.

"Looking at the thickness of your letters, I don't think you can finish replying them today. I'll bring you a reply next time I come over, okay?"

"Okay!" Xu Wen thanked him hurriedly: "Thank you! Sorry to make you wait for me! Next time you can just ask them to bring it to me. It will save you the waiting time."

Anyone's time gate is also a time gate.

The postman waved his hands and said, "I'll just let them pass on one or two letters to you. This time there are a lot of letters, a total of 137. I'm afraid they might get lost while being passed back and forth."

Xu Wen thanked him again and subconsciously wanted to give him a small gift as a thank you gift, but when he felt his pockets, he found nothing.

I had no choice but to give up.

Lu Yuanzheng walked towards Xu Wen while casually flipping through the words on the envelopes of several letters. He exclaimed, "Wow, your business scope is quite wide! These letters come from all over the country."

He read five or six letters and found no duplicate addresses.

They didn't have to cook at night, so Sang Xiaoqing brought her some food that only needed to be heated up.

But Dongsheng was unhappy.

Children like colorful things.

These more than a hundred letters have stamps from various places.

Dongsheng knelt carefully beside the tea table and removed the stamps from all the envelopes one by one.

Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wenzhe opened the letters one by one.

He didn't want to read it at first, but Xu Wen said that these were probably students going to the island and it didn't involve privacy. Besides, after reading the letter, he still had something to discuss with him.

Only then did he take action.

The contents of more than a hundred letters are basically the same.

He started by praising Xu Wen, then introduced himself and expressed his desire to go to the island to study with Xu Wen.

The only difference is the self-introduction part. Everyone’s situation is different, but the desire for knowledge is the same.

Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wenzai read the letters carefully one by one.

Xu Wen explained to Lu Yuanzheng the articles he had submitted to newspapers some time ago.

Lu Yuanzheng knew that Xu Wen had submitted the article.

"So, these..." Lu Yuanzheng shook the letter in his hand, "are all going to the island?"

Xu Wen nodded, "At least it looks like that."

The journey is long and arduous. It is actually stressful to have so many strangers on the island all of a sudden.

Xu Wen also knew this, and continued, "That's why I said I'll discuss it with you after reading the letter, and we'll select some people to come up. First of all, they must be over 18 years old, and they must be girls..."

Lu Yuanzheng interrupted her: "Do you really want to be a matchmaker?"

When Xu Wen submitted his article, he also greeted him and said that he would invite a group of female students to the island to increase the probability of unmarried warriors finding a partner.

Lu Yuanzheng only replied, "But more than half of our soldiers are uneducated, and the remaining half have a low level of education. If you get some female students, will you be able to have a common language?" That's why he didn't take Xu Wen's suggestion seriously.

He really didn't expect that just one article by Xu Wen could attract so many applicants.

What did Xu ask at that time?

She said, "Aren't there still unmarried officers?" Officers are always educated. We should take it step by step and solve them one by one.

Lu Yuanzheng teased her, "But according to our rules for serving food, you have to solve the soldiers' personal problems first, and then solve the officers'."

Xu Wen rolled his eyes at the time and said, "Marriage is not like getting a meal. If a soldier remains single until he is thirty, then the officers should also remain single until they are old?"

Lu Yuanzheng was in a hurry to go out at that time, so he just said a few words and left. He really didn't expect Xu Wen could use this method to get the girls to the island. This time he couldn't take it lightly and frowned.

If these girls come to the island, they will be safe, but food and accommodation will be a problem.

They are not considered family members or friends and cannot live in family areas.

It’s not that he is indifferent. In the military camp, rules are more important than anything else.

But if they don’t live in the family building, where should these people be arranged?

"Actually..." Xu Wen tapped the armrest of the bamboo chair with his fingers, "I have been thinking about these questions in my free time these days."

"Have you figured out a solution?"

"A little bit, but not perfect."

"Tell me about it."

Xu Wen raised his chin and pointed to the huge map of Rainbow Island on the wall. "There is a place on your plan that is intended for ordinary villagers to live in, right?"

Lu Yuanzheng nodded.

"Then let them settle down there first."

Lu Yuanzheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's true that this place is suitable for living. But it will only be suitable for living after the construction is completed. At present, this place is also a piece of weeds and trees. The overall terrain is flat, but if you want to build a house, you have to clear the weeds first, just like you build a school.

It’s a very laborious job, as you’ll know if you’ve done it before.”

He gestured at the pile of letters on the coffee table and said, "These girls are here to learn from you. You can't possibly form another army of women to build houses, can you?"

"It's not impossible!" Xu Wen really had this plan, "But I can't say this. Otherwise it will seem like I tricked them into doing hard labor."

"Are you not trying to trick people?" Lu Yuanzheng raised his eyelids with a half-smile, "Are you really asking people to come and learn from you?"

"That's right!" Xu Wen raised his chin, "I just wanted to invite them to study here! But if they meet their ideal person while studying here, that's not something I can control, right?"

"The problem is that now you not only want them to find someone they like, you also want them to do hard labor to build the house."

Xu Wen got angry and slapped the letter in his hand on the tea table. "It's a long journey! Who am I helping? And you are still pouring cold water on me! I don't care anymore! You and your soldiers should just be single for the rest of your life!"

Dongsheng was concentrating on sticking the stamps he had carefully picked out onto his stamp album, and Xu Wen's slap made him shiver.

In fact, he didn't quite understand what Lu Yuanzheng said to Xu Wen, so he didn't listen.

He looked blankly at the angry Xu Wen, then at the smiling Lu Yuanzheng, and glared at Lu Yuanzheng: "Dad! Did you make Mom angry again? How can you, a grandfather, always pick on your own woman? Didn't you say that your woman should be spoiled? Why do you bully her? You see, if you piss her off, I will be implicated too!"

He pasted one of the stamps crookedly and a lot of paste overflowed.

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

Lu Yuanzheng hissed, raised his hand and gave him a slap, "Who did you learn this from?"

A lot of gossip.

Dongsheng covered his forehead and moved towards Xu Wen, "Mom, Dad hit me! I was beaten because I spoke up for you! You have to seek justice for me."

Xu asked: "..."

She also discovered that Dongsheng is now a little... well, he seems to be more naughty as a child of his age should be, but he speaks like a little adult, which is quite contradictory.

However, she didn't mind taking advantage of the situation. She touched Dongsheng's head and glared at Lu Yuanzheng: "Why are you hitting my son?"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

He bent down and picked up the letter that Xu Wen had knocked to the ground, then moved towards Xu Wen and sorted out the letters on the tea table one by one. Then he spoke slowly: "First, I'm afraid I won't be a bachelor in this life. I have a wife."

Xu asked: "..."

The gangster puffed up his cheeks and snorted: "Isn't it easy to be a bachelor? Do you believe that I can make you a bachelor in a minute?"

This time it was Lu Yuanzheng's turn to look at her with a sidelong glance and a warning tone: "Xu Wen!"

Xu Wen knew that he didn't like to hear such words, so he snorted, turned his head away, and didn't say anything else.

Lu Yuanzheng put the sorted letters on the coffee table and pointed at Xu Wen, "Just wait and see how I deal with you tonight!"

Dongsheng hugged Xu Wen and said, "Mom, sleep with me tonight. I will protect you."

Lu Yuanzheng stretched out his arm, grabbed Dongsheng by the collar and pulled him away, "Where are you?! Go get your stamps! Children, don't interrupt when adults are talking."

Dongsheng curled his lips, but finally, under the pressure of Lu Yuanzheng's force, he let go of his hand and obediently returned to where he was to stick his stamp.

Xu Wen stood up from his chair and took out a plate of peeled durian flesh from the homemade refrigerator.

Lu Yuanzheng and Dongsheng's expressions suddenly changed.

Dongsheng quickly slid the stamps and stood up: "Dad, Mom, I'm going to find Doudou. I want to show her my new stamps."

Without even waiting for Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen's consent, he ran out in a flash.

Lu Yuanzheng's face twitched, he took a deep breath, and exhaled halfway through. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Wen preempted him, "You are not allowed to go anywhere, just sit there. If you don't want to do it, it's okay. I remember that the durian peel has not been thrown away. Otherwise, I will find it for you and you kneel down for a while and we can talk again?"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

He who knows current affairs is a hero!

A real man can bend and stretch!

A good man doesn't fight with a woman!

…

After some psychological preparation, Lu Yuanzheng moved a little to the side and said with a smile, "Not really, not really. This durian is a good thing, it can give people a sudden enlightenment. I suddenly understood and felt that I was not aware enough. I take back what I said just now, your idea is very good! Very good! On behalf of the vast number of unmarried officers and soldiers on the island, I sincerely thank you."

Xu Wen licked the durian flesh on his lips and nodded: "Go on."

This durian is very ripe, the flesh is soft and sweet, and every bite is a feast for your tongue.

The corners of Lu Yuanzheng's mouth twitched, and he moved to the side quietly.

Xu Wen saw it, and his journey was long and he froze.

Xu Wen said nothing. Lu Yuanzheng breathed a sigh of relief and moved a little without leaving any trace. Then he continued, "Do whatever you want! I will fully cooperate with you. Wife, what do you think we should do next?"

Why did he have the wit to object to Xu Wen?

No, it’s durian.

This is a terrible stench! If I add this to the smoke bombs I make next time, the enemy will probably surrender immediately.

Xu Wen tasted the soft and sticky durian meat slowly and said, "It's no big deal. We are different from other places here. We still have to do the political review of the girls who come to the island. You can contact the local authorities for this matter yourself!"

Lu Yuanzheng could do this without Xu Wen's reminder, and nodded when he heard it.

"Some of these people are junior high school graduates and some are high school graduates. Most of them are educated youth who have just returned to the city. They are not just high school students. Regardless of their family conditions, at least they are no longer spoiled young ladies."

Wang Ying's princess syndrome was serious enough, but now she has calmed down a lot and is living a good life with Zhao Gang, hasn't she?

Why can't the girls who come here do that?

"I'm not that greedy. I don't expect everyone to find a partner and stay on the island. But if five out of a hundred girls are interested in our soldiers, shouldn't we at least deal with five of them?"

This round trip nods with special sincerity.

"I'm not a bodhisattva. I help them with their studies for no reason, without asking for money or gifts, and without expecting them to do anything for me. The only requirement is that they study here. During this period, they are also free, and I won't stop them from leaving if they want. But if they fall in love with the officers and soldiers here during their studies and become a couple, there's nothing wrong with that, right? It's not like I'm forcing them to get married."

The journey is long and hesitant to speak.

Xu Wen knew what he was thinking about, "I know you are busy. I also know that you and your soldiers are sometimes too stubborn and don't know how to deal with girls. That's why I said let the girls live in the future new village.

My idea is to let the girls live in tents at first. In the process, they may want to build a wooden house. Even if they don't want to, you can give your soldiers some tips during your rest time so that they can take the initiative to help the girls build a house.

Isn't it possible for us to get along with each other after a while?"

Lu Yuanzheng first considered the plan for the second half of the year. After a moment's thought, he said, "If you count on us to help, I'm afraid the house won't be built in a short time. It's possible that it will take half a year."

"Just cover it up before it gets cold." Xu Wen yawned, and it was not her business.

She is only responsible for giving advice and not for the aftermath.

Lu Yuanzheng frowned slightly and moved a little to the side.

Xu Wen did not let him go this time. He hooked his index finger at Lu Yuanzheng and said, "Come here!"

Lu Yuanzheng's body stiffened, but he still moved towards Xu Wen obediently, but his expression looked as if he was ready to sacrifice himself.

The more he acted like this, the more Xu Wen wanted to deal with him.

Xu Wen pointed to his lips and said, "Kiss me!"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

"Wife, can you go brush your teeth first?"

Xu Wen had just finished yawning, tears still welling up in his eyes, and he looked like he was about to cry: "Lu Yuanzheng, you actually despise me? Don't you love me anymore?"
