Chapter 171

The audience soon quieted down, and everyone looked up in anticipation.

"It is well known that being a military wife is difficult. Many wives say that to be a military wife, you have to be able to endure loneliness, be a father or mother, hold back tears, wear high heels and dance with a big stick. So, beautiful brides, even if it is so difficult, are you still willing to marry the soldier in front of you?"

"I do!"

Nine distinct female voices spoke at the same time, all equally firm!

"good!"

Not only comrades-in-arms but also some of the brides and grooms' families were sitting in the audience.

Everyone stood up spontaneously, applauded, cheered, and gave blessings.

The new recruits and reporters were so moved that they cried out loud.

Ding Yufeng glanced at her, and for once did not start scolding her. She took the pen and paper and took notes.

Xu Wen gave everyone enough time to react before announcing, "Now, the couple will bow to each other!"

Nine couples sat in pairs, plus eighteen groomsmen and bridesmaids, crowding the stage.

As soon as the newlyweds lowered their heads, their respective best men pressed their heads towards the bride.

Amid the lively laughter, Xu Wen felt a moment of peace in his heart.

Just like that, in the midst of the bustling crowd, I suddenly thought of Lu Yuanzheng.

They have been separated for a long time, but they still don't know when he will return.

From what Shi Lei revealed, the round trip would take at least half a year.

That means the earliest it will be is July.

At that time, Xiao Xiachu was already over one year old!

You can call me dad now.

He would probably feel regretful to miss this period of Xiao Xiachu's growth.

However, as the wedding host, Xu Wen did not have much time to sort out her thoughts, she had to control the process.

In fact, Xu Wen's appearance is not suitable for being a wedding host. If she wears a dress with this look, she will outshine the bride.

However, the bride and groom said that they wanted Xu Wen to host the ceremony. Xu Wen could not refuse, but he also did not want to steal the limelight from the bride, so he wore a standard ceremonial outfit.

It's just a black suit, a white shirt, and some embellishments to suit the mood.

The hair is simply tied up behind the head, which neither loses dignity nor overshadows the bride.

I just didn't expect that I would still stand out among the white veils of the girls.

Xu Wen took a step back. "Although the couple has bowed to each other, they still cannot enter the bridal chamber! We still have to play a few small games first. Before playing the games, please tell us your stories one by one."

Mrs. Li and her husband did not rush to talk about this topic. Because they are older, they are not as open as the younger ones and are a little embarrassed to talk about their own affairs.

Actually, it’s nothing. Although Mrs. Li and her son live a very comfortable life on the island, they are an orphan and a widow after all, so some things in their daily life are still inconvenient.

Zhao Aimin was also married, but his wife died in an accident very early and did not leave him any children.

He took good care of Mrs. Li on the island, and as time went by, the two of them developed some feelings for each other.

How to say it?

The feelings between middle-aged couples are not as strong as those between young people, and Mrs. Li still has a place for Team Leader Lu in her heart.

But although the person is gone, the living must still live their lives.

It's like we're living together as partners!

This time it was the passionate and unrestrained Jiang Yiyi who took the lead.

She told Xu Wen her love story with Li Mao. Xu Wen had heard the first half, but he didn't know the second half.

After the two separated for a while, Li Mao started pursuing her again.

At first, Li Mao pursued her because of his sense of responsibility. After all, in this era, being married to him would be very disadvantageous for Jiang Yiyi to find a new husband in the future.

No matter how Jiang Yiyi makes trouble, Li Mao has to be responsible for her.

But the Jiang Yiyi today is no longer the Jiang Yiyi to whom the whole world belongs, Li Mao.

She became herself again and got along better with Li Mao.

As time went by, it was Li Mao who couldn't leave her.

Just like this, after many twists and turns, they finally found the way of getting along that suits them best.

It also confirms that the other person is the one with whom you want to spend your life.

Nine couples told their stories one by one.

Whether brilliant or ordinary, everyone has their own destiny.

Different stories, same ending.

They both chose to marry each other.

After the story was told, the banquet began.

Only the guests were responsible for eating, while the nine couples had to play games.

The masked bride guessing game has been played, and the next game is the bride-carrying competition to see who can reach the finish line the fastest, or a game like you draw and I guess to see how well we understand each other.

There weren't many elders at the scene, mostly people of the same age, and they were having a great time while making noise.

The wedding ended at 1pm but it didn't end.

The nine grooms were all in different companies. After the collective wedding, they would celebrate individually in private, and the company’s kitchen staff would cook for them individually.

Rainbow Island is filled with joy.

Xu Wen retired after accomplishing his mission.

She went home and drank some water to moisten her throat, then went to see Xiao Xiachu and then visited her fellow villagers.

We all come from the countryside and are not afraid of hardship. It doesn’t matter whether we live in a tent or not. We are happy as long as we can see the actual money every month!

This is very different from the feeling of working on the production team and only seeing money twice a year.

But while they were happy, Luo Zemin had a headache.

His factory on Rainbow Island was not big to begin with, and it was impossible to accommodate so many people at once.

Pengcheng is actually short of more workers.

So Luo Zemin discussed with Xu Wen, who finally had time to come to the office: "How about letting them go to Pengcheng first?"

Xu Wen shook his head: "Not yet! You can see that most of them are very young, so young that some of them are not even adults. They can barely be considered child laborers."

Many of the fellow villagers brought by Xu Wen were only sixteen years old.

She only found out about this later, because when she was in Wei Zhuang Commune, she was told that they would only recruit people over the age of 18.

The ones from Taoyuan production team were okay, she was familiar with them, and her family knew whether they were around 18 years old, so it was hard to fake it.

But she was not familiar with Xu Wang's in-laws and Sang Xiaoqing's in-laws. Rural children had been doing housework since childhood and looked older, so it was hard to tell if they were one or two years older.

Even Xu Wang couldn't accurately tell how old each child in her husband's family was.

Sang Xiaoqing knew about it, but the other party insisted that Sang Xiaoqing had remembered it wrong and there was nothing Sang Xiaoqing could do.

Household registration books are all handwritten these days, and sometimes the age is not filled in accurately, so it can only be used as a reference.

Later they let the secret slip, and Xu Wen realized that someone had lied about their age. But by then they had already reached the south and were almost reaching Haicheng, and they couldn't send the person back.

Hearing Xu Wen say this, Luo Zemin said: "I thought you would arrange for them to study. For example, you could pay for them yourself, or let them work part-time to pay for their studies."

Xu Wen shook his head, "I have always believed in the saying 'help those in need, not those in poverty'. Their families of origin are not poor because of me, and I have no obligation to change their lives. Whether they want to get out of this poverty depends on themselves, not me. Believe it or not, if I sponsor these sixteen-year-old children to go to school here for free, when they return home at the end of the year, not a single parent will be grateful to me. They will only ask me why I don't let their children make money? What will the family eat if they don't make money? Some children are the backbone of the family even though they are only sixteen years old!

”

Luo Zemin nodded, "I understand this. There is also an allusion called 'Why don't you eat meat porridge?' Right? It means that you don't understand the suffering of the poor. Your words make me feel like the fool who said this."

Xu Wen was amused by Luo Zemin: "Your description is a bit strange, but it seems to be correct. I don't help because of another possibility. If I help these children now, when I go back home during the Chinese New Year, other families will also find ways to send children in the same situation to me to raise and let me pay for their education. Why? They deceived me first, and I still have to be responsible for their future life? Do I look like a sucker?

However, if these kids are ambitious and willing to study hard to improve themselves while working, I will definitely give them opportunities and help within my ability, such as working to earn money for their studies as you said, or I will sponsor them to graduate from university and then repay me!"

Luo Zemin's eyes widened. "In my eyes, you have always been a very enthusiastic girl. I never thought that you would help others and ask for rewards!"

"No matter how enthusiastic you are, you must have the ability to help others. Why would I want to be a bodhisattva by giving away my fortune? I eat grains and don't live on incense. I will help them, but I will also be short of talent in the future! Isn't it a fair exchange for them to come and work to repay their debts? Besides, debts of favor that can be repaid with money are the easiest. You are still young! You don't understand!"

"I'm almost thirty!" Luo Zemin protested.

"So what? Were you married? Were you a father?"

Xu Wen just casually said it, but he didn't expect Luo Zemin to nod, "I've been married and I've been a father."

Xu Wen exclaimed in surprise, then realized that this might not be a pleasant topic, and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry!"

Luo Zemin shook his head. "Nothing. Just a simple personality clash. I want to come to China to develop, but my wife doesn't want to come. She thinks our country is particularly backward and life here will be very hard. So..."

Luo Zemin smiled and didn't finish.

The rest of the story is not hard to guess. The couple will just part ways and live in peace.

Fortunately, Luo Zemin looked calm when he mentioned his ex-wife, and he didn't seem particularly disappointed, which eased Xu Wen's embarrassment a little.

Xu Wen quickly ended the conversation, "Don't worry, I will arrange for them as soon as possible. I will go through the relevant industrial and commercial procedures in the next two days, and then install the equipment. After it is completed, I will pick them up from the factory."

In fact, the procedures are easy to handle, but some equipment is difficult to buy.

Xu Wen first went to Pengcheng to find Xu Wang and asked her to help introduce the fashionable female customer who used sanitary napkins.

At first the female customer was reluctant to talk about this topic.

After all, this is a matter of privacy.

Later, seeing that Xu Wang generously gave her two new sets of clothes, and Xu Wen also invited her to dinner and gave her small gifts, she felt too embarrassed to do so, so she told Xu Wen that her sanitary napkins were given to her by a foreign customer.

Xu Wen then asked the female customer to introduce her to the foreign customer.

It took a long time to find the manufacturer.

It is said that it is produced abroad and a factory has also been built in Pengcheng.

Xu Wen lied that he was a major customer, visited the factory and took note of the manufacturer of the large equipment.

For such large equipment, the manufacturer will definitely leave a mark.

This time it is truly a foreign product.

So Xu Wen went back to Luo Zemin and asked him to go abroad to help him.

Because it is not easy for Xu Wen to go abroad, Luo Zemin is now considered a foreign businessman and it is easier for him to go abroad than for her.

Luo Zemin agreed to help without hesitation, and booked a flight.

Xu asked to help him keep an eye on the factory.

Luo Zemin's factory is now very stable, and with his former apprentice watching over it, he basically doesn't need Xu Wen to help.

So Xu Wen gritted his teeth and prepared to wean Xiao Xiachu.

"Xia Chu is not even one year old yet, why are you in such a hurry to wean her off breast milk?" Zhu Meizhen firmly disagreed.

Xu Wen sighed, "I don't want to either. But mom, you can see that I'm very busy now. It's okay now, but I may have to travel to other places in Beijing in the future. What will I feed her if I don't have enough to eat or drink? Besides, she's fine eating complementary food and drinking milk powder now, which is better than you and your mother following me around, right? Wouldn't it be more troublesome if she gets angry again?"

Babies only have a shelf life of six months. Babies who are breastfed in the first six months rarely get sick, but after six months they are more likely to get sick. Colds, fevers, and diarrhea are common. It all depends on the child's physique.

Xiao Xiachu is almost ten months old now. It’s not too late to wean her, but it’s not too early either.

Zhu Meizhen thought about it and agreed.

Bring Xia Chu back home to sleep with her at night.

After making arrangements for the younger ones, you still have to discuss with the older ones.

As usual, Xu Wen finished tutoring Dongsheng on his homework and taught him to preview tomorrow's lessons on his own. Then it was time for mother and son to chat.

This habit has been maintained since Xu Wen became pregnant, except for the period of confinement.

"Dongsheng, I want to discuss something with you."

"You say."

"I may be very busy in the near future and I will be on business trips frequently. Business trips mean going to other cities for work and I may not be able to go home for several days. Can you take care of yourself? Don't worry, you won't be left alone at home. You can stay with your grandma and grandpa."

Dongsheng said, "When will Dad come back?"

Xu Wen threw up his hands, "I don't know that either."

There has been no news of Lu Yuanzheng for more than a hundred days.

A new battalion commander was transferred to Rainbow Island.

Although he is still a deputy for the time being.

Dongsheng nodded and said "Okay!" His tone wasn't bad, but it still made one sad if one listened carefully.

"What's wrong? You don't want to?"

Dongsheng's hand rubbed the pencil unconsciously, he hesitated and shook his head.

"We agreed that if there is anything, we should communicate immediately. If you don't tell me, I won't know. If you feel sad and frustrated later, I won't comfort you!"

Dongsheng thought for a while before he spoke, "Mom, is our family very poor now?"

Xu Wen shook his head: "Not really poor. What's wrong?"

"Then why don't you go out and make money? If there is enough money at home, you can stay at home and I will make money to support you when I grow up. I am already six years old and will be able to make money soon!"

Xu asked: "..."

She touched Dongsheng's head with a smile, "Thank you, Dongsheng! But everyone has their own obligations. Before you come of age, it is my and your father's responsibility to raise you and your sister. At the age of six, you should go to school well and learn skills so that you can earn money to support me when you grow up!"

"But you are the one who supports the family! Dad is never at home, so I am the man of the family. Dad said that supporting the family is a man's job!"

"Yes, supporting the family can be your job as a man, but you are still just a boy now. Your current task is to study hard. If you have extra time besides studying, just help me take care of my sister!"

Dongsheng lowered his head, "But you work so hard! And you are getting busier and busier like dad. We haven't had a meal together as a family for a long time."

His voice became lower and lower, and the last sentence could only be heard clearly by Xu Wen when he moved closer to him.

Xu Wen has always known that Dongsheng is a very sensitive child in his heart. Although he seemed to be a social butterfly when he was young and it was hard to tell, as he grew older, it was obvious that he longed for a warm and stable family.

The constant absence of his parents will make him feel insecure.

Xu Wen was about to say something to comfort him when Dong Sheng added, "Besides, it seems like you don't like doing business either."

"Hmm? Why do you say that?"

"Because you're always bothered! You complain about everything! When the weather is nice, you stay in the house with the air conditioner on and eat dessert. When it's cloudy, you go out to swing on the swings or go fishing on the houseboat. Now you haven't made desserts or been to the beach for a long time."

Xu asked: "..."

Yes! It has been a long time since I last ate salted fish.

When you are in the world, it is inevitable that you will get hurt.

The thing that is most lacking in life is being forced to do things against one's will.

When did you start to get busy?

Xu Wen thought about it carefully, and it seemed to have started when the Kaya innocently crashed into Rainbow Island.

If the Kaya is not expelled, it means that everyone on Rainbow Island, including Xu Wen himself, will live under the surveillance of other countries, and every move they make may become a trigger for war between the two countries.

Even if the adults and children on Rainbow Island were not restrained, it was difficult for them to play on the shore without worry. It was said that it was no different from usual, but in fact, during that period of time, the children were never allowed to act alone.

Even Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng, when they were busy, would either take Dongsheng to the camp headquarters or entrust him to the care of other sisters-in-law.

As for the warriors, it was even harder.

Normally, only a few sentry posts need to be on duty 24 hours a day, with two people at each post. There are hundreds of officers and soldiers on the island, and except for some cadres or veteran squad leaders who do not need to stand guard, they only rotate twice a week on average.

When the Kokaya was at Rainbow Island, the number of sentries increased, and at the cliff section, a team of officers and soldiers were fully armed and on combat readiness every day.

Outdoors, under the scorching sun, especially in the hot summer, every soldier would shed a layer of skin. Occasionally, they would go to stand guard during long expeditions. Even if they did not go to stand guard, they would still attend various trainings and meetings every day.

All the warriors on the island worked much harder than usual for the Kaya and suffered a lot that they didn't deserve.

During that period, although the island seemed calm, people were actually a little nervous.

This is probably why there is a country before there is a family!

Only when the country is strong can the people live in peace and prosperity.

Out of selfish motives and carelessness, Xu Wen started to arrange 3D printing and began to plan the Kaya.

Did you say it was voluntary? Yes.

Is it involuntary? One of the reasons is that I was forced by the situation.

From that time on, her salted fish life seemed to have been fast-forwarded and forced to rewind.

Although we don’t know where Lu Yuanzheng will go with the Yangtze River this time, it must be a good thing that benefits the country and the people.

As for her, as a citizen, she is willing to do what she can for the island so that it can become a blessed place where people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Besides, she has bigger ambitions.

Make a lot of money and lay submarine optical cables in the future.

Of course, it is also to make my life better.

Anyway, the choice has been made, so just be the king of curling and lie down, which is called curling with curling.

Xu Wen hugged Dongsheng from behind and told him a lot about his country. Finally, he said, "I really like that kind of leisurely life, and I still like it now. But I have more important things to do. I want to give you and my sister a more comfortable life. I want our Rainbow Island to be as beautiful as its name. But don't worry, everything is difficult at the beginning. After this busy period, I will still take you to eat, drink, play and travel like before!"

Dongsheng didn't know whether he understood or not, he looked up and asked Xu Wen: "Then mom, can you take me with you? I want to protect you. I'm six years old and I'm grown up!"

Xu Wen pursed his lips and hesitated.

It was inconvenient for both of them to have the six-year-old boy go out with her.

Dongsheng can't help much but it will waste her time.

However, I can gain a lot of knowledge by going out for a run. Dongsheng is still in kindergarten now, so I am not worried about him affecting his studies.

Xu Wen hesitated for three seconds and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Mom!" Dongsheng turned around excitedly, hugged Xu Wen's neck and kissed her on the face.

Xu Wen broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

Xu Wen is now in the weaning period. Although it is Xiao Xiachu's food that is being weaned, she is the one who is truly suffering.

Even though Xiao Xiachu hadn't had breastfeeding for the entire day, Xu Wen's nipples were already swollen and painful and had lumps forming. It would be better if they weren't touched. If they were touched, it would be a feeling worse than death.

Xiao Dongsheng turned around excitedly, and his shoulder hit the lump on Xu Wen's side.

Xu Wen didn't dare to shout. He gritted his teeth to swallow back his scream, and hugged Dongsheng back with trembling hands.

They separated as soon as they touched each other, and told Dongsheng to have a good rest. After going out with her two days later, he quickly hid back in his room.

It took a while for the pain to subside, but once I lay down I realized it was still painful, with a heavy, bloated pain.

Xu Wen sat up and felt pain again.

I bit the tip of my tongue, and it tasted fishy and sweet.

There were several moments when Xu Wen wanted to rush over to find Xiao Xiachu and just let her breastfeed!

That means Xu Wen’s current suffering is in vain, and he will have to suffer it again in the future.

Xu Wen tossed and turned in bed at night and often woke up from the pain. Her milk overflowed and she had to change her clothes.

These symptoms reached their peak at noon on the third day of weaning.

When taking a shower, Xu Wen could see clear dark blue blood vessels on his fair skin.

This kind of pain is not fatal, but it is extremely torturous. Xu Wen has always been a delicate person, and she would hide away and cry when the pain is severe.

After all, there was the sound of water in the bathroom, so there was no need to worry that Dongsheng would hear anything.

Crying and cursing on the expedition.

"Lu Yuanzheng, you bastard! You son of a bitch!"

"You feel good for a while! Why do I have to go through the pain of ten months of pregnancy and then the pain of weaning?"

“…”

As soon as Lu Yuanzheng got ashore, he couldn't wait to go back to find Xu Wen. As a result, he followed the sound of water to the bathroom, and heard Xu Wen cursing himself with gritted teeth.

He hesitated for a second, took off his clothes, and used the knife he carried with him to pry open the bolt along the crack of the door.

Xu Wen felt the pressure coming from behind. He turned around and saw a man suddenly in the bathroom. He wanted to scream subconsciously, but when he saw Lu Yuanzheng's face clearly, he swallowed the scream and threw the towel in his hand at Lu Yuanzheng: "Are you trying to scare me to death?"

She was already feeling very aggrieved and now she was frightened by Lu Yuanzheng and started crying.

"Is there anyone like you? You disappear as soon as you say so! You come back as soon as you say so! You don't even say hello. What do you think this place is? A guesthouse? What do you think of me? Get out!"

Lu Yuanzheng was dumbfounded.

He thought Xu Wen scolded him because he missed him.

I was thinking of going into the bathroom to give her a surprise, but it would have been fine if the surprise turned into a scare! Why did she get so mad?

Lu Yuanzheng let her push and hit him, and he didn't back out. It wasn't that he wanted to take advantage of Xu Wen, he just felt that she was not in a good state.

After Xu Wen finished venting, Lu Yuanzheng tried to hug her: "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Wen hissed.

Lu Yuanzheng quickly let her go, "What happened?"

Their skin touched, and Lu Yuanzheng's arm just happened to rub against her lump. She cried out in pain, and he also noticed something was wrong. He subconsciously lowered his head, and then exclaimed: "Wow! It's so big!"

Using Xu Wen's description, she looked at least two cup sizes bigger.

Xu Wen glared at him with red eyes.

"I mean, how come it's so swollen? Where's your daughter? She doesn't want breast milk anymore?"

Xu Wen shook his head: "Eat, wean her off milk, that's why."

Lu Yuanzheng understood this time, and it was bloated. However, he frowned. He had lived for nearly 30 years and had no experience in dealing with such things. He rubbed the back of his head up and down, and tentatively discussed with Xu Wen: "Well, how about I suck it for you?"

Xu Wen didn't scold him this time, but told him to "Get lost!"

If she could suck it, she would use him? My daughter hasn't even had it yet!

After cursing, her face turned red again. What he said was really...

Lu Yuanzheng definitely couldn't leave, "Then what do you say we should do?"

"If I knew that, would I hide here and scold you?"

"Would a bath make you feel better?"

"Well, a hot compress will make it feel better."

"Didn't you ask your mother or other sisters-in-law how they would handle this situation?"

Xu Wen actually asked this question, but everyone told her that she just had to endure the first three or four days and wait until the milk stopped flowing. They said that this was the entire process of weaning a child.

Zhu Meizhen and her sisters-in-law repeatedly told her not to squeeze even if she felt uncomfortable.

Otherwise the milk will not go back and will always be there, and Xu Wen will suffer forever.

After listening to this, Lu Yuanzheng walked around the bathroom twice.

The idea of ​​perfect harmony that I had in my mind before entering the door now disappeared.

The couple, who hadn't seen each other for more than four months, were so frank with each other. They couldn't do anything and didn't even dare to hug each other. They talked about how to solve Xu Wen's bloating problem.

There was no time to reminisce. Xu Wen must have been in too much pain to think about that kind of thing.

Since everyone says they just have to endure it, then this must be the smallest price to pay.

But seeing Xu Wen in pain, Lu Yuanzheng felt really bad. His eyes were fixed on the shiny skin on her chest, and he suggested again: "How about squeezing out a little?"

Seeing Xu Wen glaring at him, he quickly added, "I mean squeeze it a little. Just to make you feel a little better. This shouldn't affect the weaning, right?"

Xu Wen didn't say anything, his expression was a little shaken.

After asking Zhu Meizhen and her sisters-in-law, Xu Wen was afraid that their methods were just outdated solutions in this era, so he also asked the magic mirror.

As a result, the answers given by the magic mirror are similar, which are nothing more than a few more dietary suggestions.

Some diets or health supplements for weaning are also recommended, such as vitamin B6 or malt water.

Vitamins are not easy to find on the island. Malt is a traditional Chinese medicine, and the island’s military doctors are more inclined towards Western medicine, so they don’t have it.

However, the method provided by Magic Mirror also suggests that if the bloating and pain are unbearable, you can suck out a little to avoid blockage and mastitis.

I guess there are few breastfeeding mothers who have not experienced mastitis. It is also very terrible, more uncomfortable than now, and often accompanied by a high fever.

Xu Wen was not immune. About a month into the early summer, he suffered from frequent milk blockages and was severely affected.

Thanks to a sister-in-law on the island who had a concubine, she made a plaster for her, which relieved the symptoms.

After a long while, Xu Wen nodded and shook his head, "It's okay to squeeze it a little, but I don't dare to touch it."

It hurts so much when I touch it.

"I'll do it. If it hurts, pinch me or bite me." Lu Yuanzheng put one hand on Xu Wen's waist and gently supported one side with the other hand, then lowered his head.

"You're talking about squeezing." Xu Wen tried to protest.

“Same thing with sucking.”

Xu Wen wanted to protest, but Lu Yuanzheng spoke too quickly. He grunted and dug his nails into his arm.

When breastfeeding, milk letdown will occur, just like turning on a faucet, a surge of milk will come out accompanied by a sour and numb feeling.

The long journey stimulated my nipples.

Lu Yuanzheng did not dare to be too presumptuous. He just stopped talking to Xu Wen in order to ease his pain a little.

"Feeling better?"

Xu Wen nodded, thinking that he would feel better without the bloating. When he looked up and saw the milk stains on Lu Yuanzheng's lips, his face turned red again.

They had done this before after Xia Chu came into being. It was not the first time that they had to travel long distances to rob their daughter of food.

It's just that this is something Xu Wen just can't get used to after going through it several times.

She turned her head and reminded Lu Yuanzheng: "Wipe the corners of your mouth."

Lu Yuanzheng didn't wipe it, but lowered his head to her lips, "You try it too."

Xu asked: "..."

She didn't want to at all.

Unfortunately, Lu Yuanzheng did not give her a chance to refuse and his tongue went straight in.

She was forced to taste the sweet milky flavor.

It's more of a taste of longing.

They say a short absence makes the heart grow fonder.

They also say that one day without seeing you feels like three years.

Neither of them had seen each other for four months, and it felt like a lifetime.

At this moment, lovesickness caused the emotions to overflow, and both of them were a little out of control.

Lu Yuanzheng picked up Xu Wen and placed her on the stone sink.

Behind him was the coolness of the stones, and in front of him was the scalding body temperature of Lu Yuanzheng. Xu Wen was trapped between these two temperatures and became increasingly unbearable.

Afterwards, the two lay in bed and finally had time to reminisce.

Lu Yuanzheng pointed at Xu Wen's chest and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Xu Wen raised his weak leg and kicked Lu Yuanzheng, "How dare you ask!"

Lu Yuanzheng touched the tip of his nose guiltily, "I'm sorry! I couldn't help it."

Xu Wen simply didn't want to pay attention to him.

It was fine before we did it, it just made her less bloated and painful.

While doing it, the man got addicted and sucked her dry!!!

The key point was that she was also overwhelmed at the time and did not stop him.

By the time he came to his senses, it was too late, which meant that Xu Wen had suffered in vain for the past three days!

It would be strange if she could give Lu Yuanzheng a good face.

Lu Yuanzheng tried to explain the situation to her, accepted all the blame she had suffered, and vowed not to lose control next time.

"Do you want to do it next time??!!"

"There won't be a next time."

No matter how much Xu Wen insisted, he could not make up for it. Besides, he was also very angry at that time, and it was useless to just complain about the long journey.

"Why did you come back so early? Didn't you originally plan to come back in July?" Xu Wen changed the subject.

"Yeah. It went more smoothly than expected. In addition, since it was the first time for the Chang Jiang to go to sea, there were still some minor flaws that needed to be corrected. But the goals were achieved." Lu Yuanzheng hugged her, with a little fatigue in his eyes. "It's really not suitable to stay on the ship for a long time. The point is, I miss you so much! It would be great if I could talk to you on the sea!"

"I miss you, too." Xu Wen sighed. "This is the first time we've been apart for so long. And it's not just you I miss. I'm really worried about you since I haven't heard from you for so long. I can't help but think of bad things."

For example, a storm, encountering pirates or something like that.

She knew that this was not a good idea, but when she woke up in the middle of the night and touched the empty bed beside her, she would inevitably think of the long journey, and thinking about it would make her worry.

"Don't be afraid! We are all back."

"So they were in real danger?" He meant that they all came back, not that they all returned safely.

Lu Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment before telling the truth, "Yes! We experienced a storm and encountered pirates. In fact, we went after the pirates. By the way, let me tell you something. We also rescued a group of fishermen and will probably settle them on Rainbow Island."

Xu Wen nodded. It was not her responsibility to settle people on Rainbow Island, and the more people there were, the more lively it would be.

She turned over and sat up, looking down at Lu Yuanzheng, "Are you injured?"

"It happened a month ago. The minor injuries have long since healed."

Having said that, Xu Wen still found a few newer scars among his dense old scars.

They are indeed just superficial injuries.

Xu Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you're okay."

"I'm fine, but one of my soldiers was seriously injured."

"who?"

"Do you remember the guy who won first place the first time you surfed?"

"That third-generation military man?" Xu Wen had an impression of him. After all, he was the best player in her new game.

Moreover, he had agreed to retire from the army that year, but he did not and stayed on.

In the Kaya incident, Rainbow Island received a collective first-class merit.

He was also among those who followed Lu Yuanzheng to participate in overseas competitions, and it is said that he also won a third-class individual merit.

Anyway, I have accumulated enough conditions for promotion.

"Well, he... broke a leg."

"Can't connect it?"

Lu Yuanzheng pursed his lips. "That's what the ship's military doctor said. He has been sent to the veterinarian now! It's unlikely that he will be able to walk again. I heard that his bones are completely broken."

"Are you free? Shall we go see him?"

"Ah?" Lu Yuanzheng also stood up, "Do you have a solution?"

Xu Wen shook his head. "I'm not sure. I have to go see him and ask his doctor. Maybe I can try 3D-printed bones."

When Lu Yuanzheng heard this, he sat up, got out of bed and put on his clothes: "I'll make the arrangements."

"You just came back, don't you have a lot of things to do?"

In the past, after returning from a long expedition, there were always meetings of all sizes. On the contrary, the soldiers were relatively free and could often rest for a day or two.

"Things have different priorities. The meeting can be put off until later. Shi Lei and the deputy battalion commander are in charge of the island affairs. Yu Guangping is on the Yangtze River, so they won't be helpless without me. But without you, that guy might not be able to stand up again."

This statement put a lot of pressure on Xu Wen. "I'm just saying it's possible! I don't know if it will work or not. Don't hold out too much hope."

The main fear is that it won’t work out and everyone will be disappointed.
