Chapter 148
"Good morning. Have a good rest, okay?" Xu Wen replied with a smile, "Your name is Sun Pingping?"
"Yes!" Sun Pingping was stunned for a moment, as if she was surprised that Xu Wen could remember her name. Then she smiled and nodded, a little shyly, "We all had a good rest. Thank you, Teacher Xu."
Of course Xu Wen couldn't remember the names of these twenty or so people so quickly.
Mainly, she was deeply impressed by the girl’s self-introduction.
She said she had an apple face, so her family named her Ping Ping. When she went to register her household registration, the people at the police station saw that she was a female and thought her name was Ping.
The name was a little sloppy, but her face was indeed like an apple, very cute, so Xu Wen remembered her.
Xu Wen poked his head out and saw a cot set up in the tent, with an ice basin and a small fan.
There was still a strong smell of mugwort in the tent, probably used to repel mosquitoes and flies.
Looks like last night was pretty good.
Sun Pingping quickly made way for the door and said, "Teacher Xu, how about you come in and sit for a while?"
Xu Wen smiled and shook his head, "I'm relieved that you are all okay. I'll come visit you another day. Now, please help gather everyone and I'll take you to dinner. Then, we'll walk around the island today to get familiar with it. Once everyone has adapted, we'll start the make-up classes."
Xu Wen led the girls to the cafeteria for dinner.
I don’t know if it was her illusion, but it felt like the food in the cafeteria seemed better today, and the guys serving the food were a little more enthusiastic.
Xu Wen's suspicious eyes swept back and forth between the slightly rich dishes and the soldiers in the kitchen squad.
Squad leader Zhang came out and saw Xu Wen standing there. His soldiers were like wooden stakes. He sighed in frustration and waved his hand to call her aside, "Sister-in-law Xu Wen, come over here."
Xu Wen gestured to Sun Pingping and the others to find a seat and sit down first, while he went aside to talk to squad leader Zhang.
"Is there anything I can do for you, squad leader?"
Squad leader Zhang looked at his soldiers and cleared his throat. "It's like this. Sister-in-law, although we in the kitchen squad are responsible for cooking, we also wear the same military uniforms, right? You can't favor one over the other!"
"What do you mean?" Xu Wen didn't understand at first.
Squad leader Zhang glanced in the direction of the girls, then pointed at the guys who were still putting down their meals, "There are a few single guys here too! Can you give us guys some opportunities to get along with young lesbians?"
Xu asked: "..."
She was a little embarrassed. "How can I create it? Young women are here to learn. They can't help you cook, right?"
Squad leader Zhang was anxious: "Why can't you come and help us cook? What's wrong with our cooking?"
Xu asked: "..."
"Squad Leader Zhang, don't get excited. I don't mean to say anything bad about you."
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, squad leader Zhang cleared his throat and lowered his voice: "Sister-in-law, I don't really want the female comrades to come to work. The main thing is to chat. Even if they come to tell us what they want to eat. Let my brothers have a space to show off."
Xu Wen nodded and said proudly, "Leave it to me."
She thought it was a big deal!
Who doesn’t know how to order food?
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
"Captain Zhang, I'm a little uncomfortable with your politeness."
After dinner, Xu Wen took the girls around the island.
As soon as I walked out of the cafeteria, there were several soldiers waiting at the door driving a modified electric car.
Seeing Xu Wenqi, he shouted: "Hello, sister-in-law!"
"What are you doing?"
"Lu Ying said that our island is so big that it's very tiring to walk around! Let us be the drivers for the female comrades!" It was still the baby-faced guy from yesterday who took the lead.
Xu asked: "..."
This island is really big.
"You don't have to work?"
As far as Xu Wen knew, each of them had his own division of labor.
The baby-faced man chuckled twice, "Lu Ying said that serving the people is more important."
Xu asked: "..."
She turned around and looked at the twenty "people" with different expressions, some shy or confused, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
The baby-faced man approached Xu and asked, "Lu Ying also said that the most important thing is not to let you get tired."
Xu asked: "..."
What else could Xu Wen say?
These five drivers are obviously single young men of appropriate age.
Lu Yuanzheng was just like Squad Leader Zhang, looking for an opportunity to bring them together.
It is said that the building near the water will see the moon first.
Lu Yuanzheng wanted to make his people familiar with the place first.
The electric bikes that Baby Face and his friends ride are actually semi-electric, and they still have to rely on human power to pedal occasionally.
Because this electric car is not the racing car that Xu Wen got for fun before, nor the sedan that Lu Yuanzheng made for her.
She drew the design based on the tourist buses she had seen in scenic areas, and let Lu Yuanzheng and his people build it according to the drawing.
This was also the first time she saw the finished product.
It is usually used for changing posts, saving the soldiers some time and energy.
It was OK before, as there were fewer shifts. But now, in order to monitor the Kaya, many people have to change shifts back and forth every day, and the distance is far. Having this car saves a lot of effort.
The battery that Xu Wen had previously studied was obviously too heavy to carry such a large bike, so the pedal part of the bicycle was retained. For example, when going uphill, several people have to pedal the bicycle together.
I don’t know if it was to show off, but Lu Yuanzheng sent five vehicles even though three would have been enough.
She thought it might be to allow five drivers to come over.
Of course, having a car is less troublesome and laborious than walking, so Xu Wen did not refuse.
Originally Xu Wen was the guide, but now five drivers are the guides.
Since they were all young people, they had more to talk about, so Xu Wen was happy to have some free time.
The "guides" introduced interesting and fun places on Rainbow Island, and the "people" also chimed in to talk about some interesting things that happened before they arrived on the island.
This made Xu Wen feel a little redundant.
The redundant "Teacher Xu" simply closed his eyes and rested.
Since it is a trip, of course we play while walking.
Most girls have never seen the sea, so they are quite interested in it.
So they stayed on the beach the longest.
There are also bamboo lounge chairs made by Lu Yuanzheng and large camouflage umbrellas on the beach.
Xu Wen chose a chair and sat down. In the middle of each pair of chairs there was a small refrigerator made by Xu Wen using a circulating ice machine, and there were always various fruits in the refrigerator.
Usually, the sisters-in-law who come to visit will bring some with them, and if they can’t finish it, they will put it in the refrigerator for others, especially the children who come to visit.
The young girls played wildly on the beach, their laughter echoing far away.
The enthusiastic "guides" also took the girls to play some simple beach games.
A girl who seemed to be in poor health came over and half-lay on the chair next to Xu Wen to rest, saying with emotion: "Teacher Xu, the sea here is so beautiful!"
"Indeed." Xu Wenchun handed her a piece of watermelon, "Are you feeling unwell?"
The girl nodded, "I have never been in good health since I was a child! This is what happens when I exercise." She took the watermelon and said, "Thank you, Teacher Xu."
Xu Wen looked at the girl's slightly pale face. In her opinion, those who are unable to exercise and have been weak since childhood mostly have heart diseases.
Doesn't this girl have a heart attack?
I wonder if they had a medical check-up before going to the island?
Xu Wen thought that he would have to ask Lu Yuanzheng when he got home in the evening. If they had not had a physical examination, he would have to organize one for them.
If she didn't know anything, and something happened to the little girl on Rainbow Island, she wouldn't be able to explain to her parents.
Xu Wen took the initiative to speak: "What's your name? Sorry, there were so many people yesterday that I couldn't match the person with the name."
"My name is Wang Qian."
Xu Wen had an impression of this name. She was one of the few city girls.
The reason why she was determined to come to the island was because her parents always felt that she was in poor health and often asked for leave from her, so that even though she was a freshman, she could not keep up with the teaching progress and failed the exam.
To put it bluntly, her parents always think she is sick, but she herself thinks she is not sick.
Thinking of this, Xu Wen turned his head to look at Wang Qian. Her complexion looked much better after resting for a while.
It seems that the fatigue just now was indeed caused by exercise.
Xu Wen was a little puzzled, but he didn't show it and just chatted with Wang Qian for a few words.
Talk about her views on Rainbow Island, whether she has adapted to the island, whether she has any difficulties in life, etc.
After a while, when everyone was tired, we continued to explore Rainbow Island.
The five drivers and guides did their best to educate the girls on what is edible and what is poisonous on this Rainbow Island, as well as which places they can go and which places are restricted areas.
The girls looked at it curiously and tried hard to remember.
In this way, we slowly circled the island.
When we reached the end of the fan, we saw Custer on the deck.
Custer waved to Xu Wen and took the initiative to greet her.
"Hi! Beautiful lady, why haven't I seen you these days?"
Xu Wen thought to himself: I am not stupid. I have achieved my goal and I am still sending you fruits? You are dreaming!
She grumbled in her heart, but with a look of embarrassment on her face, "I boarded your ship without permission that day, which angered my husband! He locked me up at home for several days, and only let me out today when the little sisters came to play with me!"
As he spoke, he looked like he was about to cry.
Five drivers: “…”
When did our road camp lock you up?
Twenty girls: "..."
If Xu Wen hadn't personally entertained them yesterday, they would have almost believed it!
Sentry: “…”
Lu Ying actually has such courage?
Frankly speaking, they would rather believe that the Kaya had a real malfunction than believe that Lu Yuan would lock up Xu Wen.
Custer was also confused, and then he said apologetically: "I'm sorry that we have implicated you."
Originally, since that day, they still suspected that Xu Wen had other purposes in approaching them and boarding the ship.
In the past few days, I have arranged for my subordinates to check the ship over and over again to see if there is anything missing.
I confirmed with my adjutant again and again that it was impossible for Xu Wen to have hidden something as large as a camera on his body that day.
Until just now, he was just testing the waters.
I didn’t expect Xu Wen to be imprisoned!!
Custer said sincerely: "Ms. Xu Wen, our invitation to you last time is still valid."
Xu Wen carefully recalled the contents related to the invitation.
It's something like, "When she's cornered, welcome her to country F."
Xu Wen pretended to wipe away his tears, looking very touched, "Mr. Custer, you are such a good person! Don't worry, when I get divorced, I will definitely ask you for help. But I am not free yet!"
Custer believed it. "Okay! You can come to me anytime. The door of Kaya is always open for you."
Five drivers: “…”
Sister-in-law, your remarks are a bit too dangerous.
Twenty girls: "..."
Who am I? Where am I? What do I see?
Sentry: “…”
Although I feel a little sorry for Lu Ying, I am really happy.
If Lu Yingyi dares to try to kidnap my sister-in-law, he will be furious and the Kaya should be kicked out.
They don't have to stay here in the wind and sun.
Xu Wen exchanged a few words with Custer, and under Custer's sympathetic gaze, pretended to be dragged away by someone.
The baby-faced boy looked confused as he saw himself passively "grabbing" Xu Wen's arm.
By the time they reacted, the group had already left the place.
The baby-faced boy suddenly turned into a tearful one and asked his companions, "Do you think I still have hope of finding a partner?"
One of the drivers who was traveling with him patted his shoulder with a sympathetic look on his face and said, "You should think about whether you can save your arm first."
"No!" Another person expressed a different opinion, "I think he should first consider whether he can save his life."
Baby face: “…”
Xu asked: "..."
Xu Wen rolled his eyes.
I haven't had much contact with them recently, and I almost forgot that they are a group of severe chuunibyou patients.
Probably because they usually have strict discipline and are controlled everywhere, and only when they are chatting do they have some freedom of language, so these people are a little too free to let themselves go.
Xu Wen asked casually, "Do you still want to find a partner?"
Baby Face immediately demonstrated his "June Day" skills and asked attentively, "Sister-in-law, what do you want?"
The other four also demonstrated their face-changing skills.
"Sister-in-law, are you thirsty? I have some water here!"
"Sister-in-law, please get on my car. I'm very skilled at riding it."
"Sister-in-law, I have some fruit here, do you want to eat some?"
"Sister-in-law, do you need an assistant? I can take a month off and serve you!"
Xu asked: "..."
She shook her head. "Don't be poor! Give me a car. I'm going home first. You can help me take care of these girls. I'll look for them in the evening."
The baby-faced man immediately said, "How can I let you ride back alone? I'll take you there!"
The other four who were a beat slower all complained about the baby face.
"Flatterer!"
"Dogleg!"
"traitor!"
The last one was really speechless, and after a long while he cursed, "Idiot!"
Baby face: “…”
He was not angry, and said cheerfully: "You guys can just be jealous slowly!"
After saying this, he left with Xu Wen, who looked speechless.
Xu asked: "..."
Xu Wen set the alarm before going to bed.
She promised to spend more time with Dongsheng.
She got up on time to pick up Dongsheng from school and took him to meet the girls.
The girls were already washing up in their tents.
There are seven tents in total, five of which are small tents for girls, with four people in one room.
One of the other two tents was for the girls to bathe, and the other was used as a classroom.
The toilet is built separately and is not included.
Xu Wen gathered all the girls into the big tent used for classes.
"It's like this. I wrote to you that you need to cook your own meals. Now, the squad leaders of our kitchen team feel that you are new to Rainbow Island and are not familiar with each other, so they want you to eat in the cafeteria for a while before considering whether you need to cook your own meals.
I am just conveying your message, you can vote on your own.
If you choose to eat in the canteen, starting from today, we will eat in the canteen of each company for one day. The condition is that one of you must go to the kitchen to help out every day.
If you choose to cook for yourself, I will buy the stove for you tomorrow and set it up."
The girls looked at each other.
As Xu Wen said, the twenty of them came from almost different provinces and cities and were strangers to each other.
The girls themselves were all a little shy, and no one was willing to take the initiative to speak.
Xu Wen simply asked them to write down their wishes and hand them to her.
anonymous.
The voting results were one-sided, with everyone choosing to eat in the cafeteria temporarily.
"The minority should obey the majority. Let's go to the cafeteria first! Let's go!" Xu Wen led Dongsheng and walked in front.
After dinner, Song Baoying brought several sisters-in-law to visit the girls.
When Xu Wen had some free time, he and Dongsheng drove their family's wooden convertible sports car around Rainbow Island for a few laps.
After returning home, I helped Dongsheng with his homework, waited for him to take a bath, told him stories, and coaxed him to sleep.
After accompanying Dongsheng out, I saw Lu Yuanzheng leaning against the door like a master.
"I heard...I imprisoned you for several days."
Xu asked: "..."
She whispered, "Why does a grown man like to complain?"
What about the promise to serve her at her beck and call?
Lu Yuanzheng snorted, "I also heard that you wanted to divorce me?"
