Chapter 166

Lu Yuanzheng closed the clothes that he had torn open for Xu Wen, lay down beside Xu Wen, and hugged her from behind.

Each of them had their own thoughts and remained silent.

After a long while, Lu Yuanzheng spoke first: "Ask."

"Um."

"sorry."

"Hmm?" Xu Wen wanted to turn around to look at Lu Yuanzheng, but he held his neck and he couldn't move.

Lu Yuanzheng buried his face in her shoulder, his voice a little muffled: "I heard from Dongsheng. He said that in the later stages of your pregnancy you often stayed up late at night and sat on the swing in the yard..."

Xu Wen couldn't help but interrupt him, "How did Dongsheng know?" She clearly went out in the middle of the night.

"He saw it several times when he got up in the middle of the night to pee. He also told me that your legs and feet were so swollen that you couldn't wear shoes."

Xu Wen didn't say anything.

Pregnancy is really a very difficult thing.

The later you get into pregnancy, the more you'll find that the pregnancy reactions in the early stages of pregnancy are really nothing to worry about.

Others’ words of comfort ending with “It will be fine” are often just the first half of the sentence.

When you first get pregnant, people will tell you, “It will be fine once you’re done vomiting.”

Indeed, generally pregnant women will stop vomiting around four months.

Of course, some pregnant women vomit until they give birth.

However, there should be a second half to this statement: it will be even more uncomfortable after six or seven months.

In the later stages of pregnancy, everyone comforts her by saying, "Everything will be fine after the baby is born."

The second half of the sentence is "confinement is more tiring than pregnancy"

I have to be on standby 24 hours a day, confined to two small rooms with no place to go.

At this time, everyone comforted her by saying, "It will be fine after the confinement period."

The second half of the sentence should be "It's not as comfortable as the confinement period."

Although there is no freedom during the confinement period, babies spend most of the 24 hours a day sleeping.

But after the confinement period, the time I was awake became longer and longer, and I needed more and more time to accompany me.

And there are all kinds of unexpected events.

For example, intestinal spasms.

Then it's "Just sit down later!" "Just walk later!" "Just go to school later!" "Just grow up later!" "Just get married later!" "Just have a baby later!"

But from the day you become a future mother until the end of your life, this sentence will always have a second half.

Once I learn to sit, I always want to go outside. It's tiring to hold me.

When she learned to walk, she would stagger around, afraid that the baby would bump into something.

When you go to school, you worry about your grades; when you grow up, you worry about finding a partner; after you find a partner, you worry about having children; and after you have children, you have to take care of them.

I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief now that my children have started their own families and careers, but I still have to worry all the time about whether their families are doing well.

As a human being in two lives, Xu Wen inevitably has these troubles.

Lu Yuanzheng's words brought out all the grievances she had hidden during her pregnancy, and her nose felt sore. Lu Yuanzheng was still talking behind her.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed me."

"I'm sorry you've suffered so much."

"I'm sorry... But, I love you! I love you so much! I don't know how to make up for the time I was absent. I will try to be better to you in the future. So, can you continue to love me too?"

Xu, who was crying with emotion, asked: "......?"

"Ah?" Xu Wen sobbed, "When did I say I didn't love you?"

Lu Yuanzheng was silent for a while, then spoke very reluctantly: "You said that men's sex and love are separate. But women's sex and love are together. If a woman lets a man touch her, it must be because of love. If she doesn't let a man touch her, it must mean she doesn't love her anymore."

She wouldn't let him touch her today.

Xu asked: "..."

Why did she say such misleading words in the first place? Why did she cause such a big misunderstanding?

No wonder I felt so lost just now.

Xu Wen thought he had been holding it in for too long, but he didn't expect that he thought she didn't love him anymore.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment.

Xu Wen shook his head and told Lu Yuanzheng about his concerns.

Lu Yuanzheng breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s not okay just because there are problems in the relationship.

He loosened his grip on Xu Wen and let her face him.

"Do you believe me?"

Xu Wen looked into Lu Yuanzheng's eyes.

His eyes are very dark and bright, just like his appearance most of the time, giving people a particularly determined feeling.

Right now, that is.

Xu Wen nodded without hesitation.

Of course I believe him.

The moment she nodded, Lu Yuanzheng came over and pressed his thin lips against hers.

The kiss was gentle, full of tenderness and love, neither hurried nor slow, carefully tracing her lips.

Xu Wen felt strangely comforted and gradually relaxed.

Lu Yuanzheng was not in a hurry to take the next step. His hand slid down her waist and gently stroked her spine back and forth.

Until Xu Wen could no longer wait and began to respond, he used the tip of his tongue to pry open her teeth and drove straight in.

The hand also moved gradually down from the back, wandering around the dangerous area.

Xu Wen's arm unconsciously grasped the corner of his clothes, and he hummed softly.

It was not until Lu Yuanzheng entered that Xu Wen came to his senses because of the discomfort he felt.

It wasn't as painful as the legend said, but he wasn't used to it after not doing it for a long time.

Lu Yuanzheng gave her time to adapt slowly, just like he did the first time.

Before Xu Wen could adapt, Xiao Xiachu turned on the alarm mode again.

Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen froze at the same time.

Lu Yuanzheng let out a long sigh and cursed.

Why do people want to be fathers?

There is winter birth in front and early summer behind.

Xu Wen pushed him and said, "My daughter is crying."

Lu Yuanzheng did not move, or to be more exact, his body did not move. He stretched out his long arms, pulled Xiao Xiachu's mattress towards him, took a look, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just peed.

In this position, he took a diaper that had been prepared in advance and changed Xia Chu's baby, then pushed his daughter far away to avoid accidental injury.

When I looked down again, I saw Xu Wen with his eyes closed, biting his lips, and his hands tightly grasping the bed sheet.

Lu Yuanzheng laughed hoarsely and moved maliciously, "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Wen glared at him, but unfortunately her eyes, full of smiles, did not have any intimidating power at the moment.

Lu Yuanzheng lowered his head again.

Luo Zemin withdrew his application to build a house and resubmitted his application to reside in Rainbow Island.

Because it was a manufacturer, the process at Rainbow Island was very fast and was completed in less than a month.

The land was requisitioned from a distant place and is considered a suburb of Rainbow Island, some distance away from the residential area.

Luo Zemin's factory does not discharge any sewage, so it is located in a slightly remote area of ​​Rainbow Island.

It’s not very big, covering an area of ​​about 3,000 square meters.

Apart from this, the island only cared about dividends but not construction, and it was Luo Zemin himself who organized people to go to the island for construction.

Of course, Xu asked the workers who were responsible for picking up and dropping off his workers.

In order to stop taking advantage of Rainbow Island, Xu Wen took out 10,000 yuan to buy a passenger ship.

Of course, she was not going to do anything that would lose money. In addition to temporarily serving as a "regular ship" for Luo Zemin to transport his workers back and forth, Xu Wen also wanted to use the ship to carry passengers.

I usually go to Pengcheng once a weekend, but now I go back and forth every day.

And it not only goes to Pengcheng, but also stops at two port cities along the way.

The downside is that it used to take only one hour to get to Pengcheng directly, but now it takes two hours with a stopover.

Mrs. Li also applied to contract the canteen on Rainbow Island and opened a similar canteen on Central Island.

Now there are many ships, which makes it much easier to go out and purchase goods.

Busy time always passes quickly.

National Day is here in the blink of an eye.

This year's National Day at Rainbow Island is more lively than ever before.

In addition to the routine consolation performances, there was also an opening ceremony for the printer production plant.

There are gongs and drums, lion dances, and yangko teams.

No matter whether it is the north or the south, as long as it is lively, it counts.

Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen were both invited by Luo Zemin to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

"Boss Luo! I wish you a prosperous business and lots of money." Xu Wen clasped his fists and bowed to Luo Zemin.

Lu Yuanzheng also said: "Good luck!"

Luo Zemin's mouth twitched. "You should wish me a lot of wealth! I am just working for you two."

I won't talk about the long journey, but at least he represented the government and offered land that is now priceless. He gave 70% as a donation to the country's national defense and he had an army.

Xu asked, this is the standard black sesame glutinous rice dumpling, smiling and trying to trick him to death.

First of all, she owned 20 percent of his company.

Now he is still trying to help Lu Yuanzheng negotiate 70% of his profits.

That noon, the two men were like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time. They ate and chatted with their guard down.

In addition, Xu Wen always gave him the impression of being calm and patriotic, so he admired her very much and his guard was lowered again.

She also talked about the cooperation between Hong Kong businessmen and Pengcheng, and he agreed without thinking too much.

At that time, I was particularly grateful to Xu Wen, thinking that he was indeed a friend. The developer only took 15% of the original share, but I managed to get 30% for him.

Later I found out that the developer did take 15%, but the house development was a one-time thing!!!

This is equivalent to making a 15% profit from this project alone, but maybe you can make 50% from the next property.

What about cooperation with Rainbow Island?

It is the day! long! earth! long! day! repeating! day!

He is actually working for Rainbow Island.

Xu Wen did not feel guilty and said frankly: "I didn't cheat you! I only asked you to sign the part about the 3D printer. But you can sign the whole factory. In fact, the majority of your money now comes from ordinary printers. Isn't it?"

That's why Luo Zemin signed the final contract.

It's fair all in all.

Luo Zemin rolled his eyes and said, "No matter what you say, I can't change my fate of working for others!"

Xu Wen was amused by him and laughed.

"Dad! Mom! A grandpa is here to see you."

Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng turned around at the same time. It was Dongsheng's voice.

"What grandpa?" Xu asked Dongsheng on the way home.

Rainbow Island now allows outsiders to go ashore.

Today, Rainbow Island is divided into several areas. The area from the wooden house to the camp is a military stronghold and ordinary people are not allowed to enter.

So what kind of grandpa is he?

If it was Lian Zhenxing, Dongsheng would call him uncle.

Dongsheng led the way at a trot, shaking his head and thinking for a while: "He looks familiar, he seems to have been here before."

Lu Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows. Dongsheng was still young. Although it was said that children began to have memories at the age of three, there were not many things he could really remember.

Since there is an impression, it proves that I have been to the island.

There are only two groups of people who have been to the island and whom Dongsheng could call "Grandpa".

The team that came to study renewable energy power generation and Ma Liang who came to draw the design last year.

The research team came too early. This was more than two years ago. Dongsheng probably won’t remember it. It was most likely Ma Liang.

Lu Yuanzheng expressed his speculation.

Xu asked: "..."

"Here comes a good visitor, and you make it sound like a mystery movie. I thought it was someone else!"

But Xu Wen couldn't make up the name of that other person.

When I arrived at the door of my house, I found that Lu Yuanzheng's guess was correct, it was indeed Ma Liang.

This time he had a new assistant.

Lu Yuanzheng hurriedly invited them in.

Xu Wen poured cold and hot drinks on the tea table, then pushed them to Ma Liang and let him choose.

He sat next to Lu Yuanzheng on a low stool opposite the tea table.

Ma Liang chose hot tea.

I like these when I get older.

"Mr. Ma, what brings you here?" Lu Yuanzheng spoke first.

"I'm here to tell you the good news."

Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen looked at each other and said nothing.

Ma Liang came to report the good news, that was all.

Sure enough, the next second Ma Liang said: "Our new battleship will be officially launched soon!"

Although they had already guessed it, Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen couldn't help but brighten their eyes when they actually heard Ma Liang say this.

Lu Yuanzheng has always been introverted and his emotions are not particularly obvious.

Xu Wen almost clapped his hands like Dongsheng, his eyes sparkling with joy, "Really? That's great! Can I see it?"

Ma Liang nodded. "I came here for this matter. I think you are the one who should be invited. You are the biggest contributor to the new battleship."

In fact, he could have sent a telegram to the island to invite Xu Wen, but he came in person just to show his sincerity.

"Comrade Wenwen, you are really amazing!" Ma Liang still can't help but give a thumbs up when he sees Xu Wen.

When I was drawing the pictures, I already realized how good Xu Wen was. But when each part actually went from the drawing to reality, I was even more amazed at Xu Wen's memory.

Gong Xu Wenling felt guilty and quickly changed the subject, praising Ma Liang: "You and your team are still more amazing! You built the ship in less than a year!"

Ma Liang waved his hands and said, "This is not worthy of praise. The other country is already so far ahead of us. We finally have a chance to catch up with them. We can't lose time again."

Knowing the significance of the Kaya drawings, all relevant personnel have been working overtime over the past year.

The first ones to work overtime were of course Ma Liang and his friends.

The drawings are for the Kaya, and we can't just build a Kaya exactly the same.

As the chief designer, Ma Liang, after receiving the proportional model of Kaya, studied it repeatedly and re-drew the design of the upgraded version.

Ma Liang put down the teacup in his hand, took out an exquisite battleship model from his backpack, placed it on the coffee table and pushed it to Xu Wen.

"This is made to scale. For you!"

This gift was a bit too expensive, Xu Wen raised his hand and wiped the handle on Lu Yuanzheng's clothes.

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

Even though we know that Xu Wen's hands are not dirty, the meaning of this behavior itself is "not very harmful, but extremely insulting."

Xu Wen noticed Lu Yuanzheng's gaze and explained, "I was afraid of dirtying the model. I wanted to wipe my hands on my clothes, but I was wearing a white dress and was afraid of getting it dirty."

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

I went to an event today to cut the ribbon and wore clean clothes.

You might as well not explain.

Xu Wen didn't care what he thought and lowered his head to concentrate on studying the model.

Having dealt with Ma Liang and Yang Kai for so long every day, he must be familiar with this ship.

Xu Wen could tell the difference between this battleship and the Kaya at a glance.

It is indeed more powerful, worthy of being an upgraded version.

Xu Wen couldn't let it go. He studied it over and over again for a while and asked Ma Liang, "What is the name of this ship?"

Without waiting for Ma Liang to answer, Lu Yuanzheng pointed to the side of the bow and said, "It's written there!"

"Chang Jiang" Xu Wen blinked, "Why is it called this name?"

What does it have to do with the Yangtze River?

"The waves behind push the waves ahead," Ma Liang explained.

Xu asked: "..."

The previous wave died on the beach?

Its leading wave is of course the Kaya.

It is indeed a good name.

The only one who could go on the Chang Jiang was Xu Wen. As the only chief officer of Rainbow Island, Lu Yuanzheng could not leave the island for too long.

In that case, Xu Wen was a little reluctant to go.

She and Xiao Xiachu are tied together, and the mother and daughter must act together.

It is still difficult to buy non-wet diapers now, and it is very inconvenient for her to take Xiao Xiachu out alone.

Ma Liang said to Lu Yuanzheng, "It's okay, you can go. You don't have to stay away from the island for too long, two or three days at most. This should be within the permitted range."

"It's not just a matter of time, it's against the rules."

Even as a soldier, he could not visit the ship at will.

You are not allowed to leave your post to watch the Yangtze River go to sea for personal reasons.

"It's in accordance with the rules." Ma Liang said with a smile, "Because you are responsible for taking the Yangtze River home."
