Chapter 174

The journey is long and I regret not starting from the beginning.

Why did he agree to have dinner with that veterinarian, Li Daoming?

Mainly because he had never dreamed that Li Daoming had such a good memory!

It happened more than ten years ago, but I still remember it so clearly!

He didn't even remember what was written in the letter, but Li Daoming still remembered it!

Lu Yuanzheng rubbed his face with his hands, thinking helplessly, maybe it is because Li Daoming has a good memory that he can remember so much medical knowledge, and he can achieve his current success in such a big hospital at such a young age? !

Li Daoming succeeded, but he couldn't even get into the room.

Lu Yuanzheng patted the door again, "Wife, I was wrong. Can you open the door?"

Just then, another guest was about to go back to his room. He passed by the corridor where Lu Yuanzheng was standing and looked at him with a wary look.

Thanks to the scar on my face, there are no female lesbians rushing after me now, but I can easily be mistaken for a bad person.

If it weren't for the fact that this guesthouse only accepts people of status, the other guests would definitely call the police.

Being looked at with suspicious eyes, Lu Yuanzheng felt very embarrassed and had to pretend to take out the key from his pocket.

In fact, Lu Yuanzheng was still wearing a military uniform.

But these days military uniforms are not considered uniforms, and many people on the street wear them too.

It cannot represent his identity.

After everyone returned to the room, Lu Yuanzheng knocked on the door again and pleaded for mercy in a low voice: "Wife, I was wrong! Can you open the door? Let's talk it out. You should give me a chance to defend myself before sentencing me. You can't just listen to the veterinarian's one-sided words."

There was still no movement inside.

Lu Yuanzheng sighed again and looked around. This was a guesthouse, so he didn't dare to speak loudly. "Wife, open the door! If you don't open the door, they will probably call the police soon."

“…”

There was a click.

The door was finally opened from the inside.

Xu Wen, who had just finished taking a shower, wiped his hair with a towel in one hand. After opening the door, he switched to the other hand, turned his back and walked back.

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

So, was it because Xu Wenyi didn't hear anything he begged and expressed his feelings for for a long time?

Then he felt a little depressed again. How could Xu Wen still have the mind to take a shower?

Maybe you want to have an argument with him and make up with him afterwards?

Lu Yuanzheng followed into the room, kicked the door shut from the inside with his long legs, and put his arms around Xu Wen's waist, "Wife, are you still angry?"

Xu Wen patted his arm: "Let go! My hair is dripping!"

"My heart is still bleeding! You locked me outside the door for a long time and ignored me. I thought you really didn't want me anymore!" Lu Yuanzheng pretended to be a good boy and refused to let go.

Xu Wen snorted coldly, turned around from the circle formed by his arms and people, and faced him.

Lu Yuanzheng sat on the edge of the bed consciously so that Xu Wen wouldn't have to tilt his head back and could look up at her instead.

"I don't want you? What are you afraid of? Aren't there young girls and wives waiting in line to take you?"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his brain throbbed with pain.

He continued to hold Xu Wen with one hand, and pinched his brow with the other hand, saying weakly: "This is not the first time you have seen Li Daoming's mouth. Do you believe what he says?"

"Why don't you believe it? Or tell me which of his claims is slanderous against you?"

Lu Yuanzheng said nothing.

"When the recruits were assigned to different companies, were you assigned to the sanitation company?"

"Um."

"When you were in the recruit company, did any female comrade write you a love letter?"

The journey is long and silent.

In Xu Wen's eyes, this was tacit consent.

"Have you ever chased after the female soldiers in the recruit company?"

"This is such a misunderstanding. I was delivering a love letter for someone, but she mistakenly thought it was from me."

"So she agreed to be with you? That proves that you are still the most charming!"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

For a moment, he didn't know what to say except regret.

At this moment, I feel like I am fighting alone but am surrounded by a huge army.

But he doesn't want to die.

She struggled desperately, "I wasn't with her. Later I explained that it was just a misunderstanding! That was a long, long time ago. Isn't it disgraced? Not many lesbians dare to look me in the eye! It's only Comrade Xu Wen who has the insight to see my inner beauty!"

"So..." Xu Wen snorted, his reason corroded by jealousy, and blurted out: "I picked up the broken ones?"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

Xu Wen regretted what he said the moment he finished speaking, and felt that his words were a bit hurtful.

But for a moment, he couldn't bring himself to apologize.

Lu Yuanzheng knew that it was just an angry remark, so he didn't take it to heart. He put his arms around her waist and said, "Are you really angry? I have always been a virgin for you! Yes, what Li Daoming said can't be said to be all slander, but I really didn't do anything.

I won't explain about going to the sanitary company. It's not something a new recruit like me can have the final say on.

I did the laundry because Li Daoming and his gang betrayed me. Li Daoming and his gang were the real playboys, and they were afraid of being scolded by the instructors if they couldn't wash their clothes. But the only female comrades we could see in our recruit company at that time were female soldiers, and they were unwilling to help them, so they used me as an introduction, saying that I wanted to find someone to help with the laundry.

My appearance was not an advantage at the time, and everyone believed that I could not wash clothes. The female soldiers were kind-hearted and embarrassed to only wash my clothes, so they would usually take their own clothes with them. "

Speaking of this, Lu Yuanzheng really wishes he could turn back time.

It was clearly Li Daoming and his friends who took advantage, but now he has to be scolded.

"As for the love letter, I really don't know. I didn't even have time to read it. Li Daoming remembered it because he was the one who read the love letter. He snatched the love letter away. They were reading it in a noisy manner and were caught by the instructor. The love letter was confiscated."

Of course, he was the one who was scolded and warned not to think about things that he shouldn't think about right after joining the army.

That day he stood in military posture for two more hours for no reason.

"As for the subject, that's really slanderous. You are the only subject I have in my life."

These are all trivial matters. Xu Wen doesn't really care about them, but how can she say she doesn't care? Women are a bit petty.

After Lu Yuanzheng explained it so earnestly for a long time and coaxed her for a while, and considering that she had just said something she hadn't thought about, she wasn't that angry anymore.

"Yeah, me too."

"What is it?" Lu Yuanzheng looked up and asked relentlessly.

"The only one."

"That's not what you just said." Lu Yuanzheng complained aggrievedly, "You said I was rotten, and you also said you picked up rotten things."

Xu Wen looked away guiltily and changed the subject: "Why didn't you study medicine?"

I feel that if he had gone a long way to study medicine, his achievements would definitely not be inferior to Li Daoming's.

"It's not suitable, right?! I prefer to stab the enemy rather than my own people."

Of course, he was very diligent in the health company, so he learned a lot of surgical medical knowledge. He often bandaged injured soldiers or followed them in performing operations, so he learned a lot of related medical knowledge.

Xu asked: "..."

There is nothing wrong with this statement.

Lu Yuanzheng leaned back and lay on the bed, pulling Xu Wen onto the bed with him.

Xu Wen rested his head on Lu Yuanzheng's arm, and the two of them lay in a spread-eagle position.

The two of them had a big meal last night, but they didn't get much more sleep than Li Daoming.

Especially Lu Yuanzheng, he had just got off the Yangtze River, went home and had sex with Xu Wen, then rushed here, stayed up late and worked as a "coolie", he was really a little blind at the moment.

He used the arm that Xu Wen was resting on to hold her in his arms and said vaguely, "As soon as the new recruits were assigned to the company, I wanted to transfer out. But I was a new recruit with no one under me, so how could I transfer out just like that? Later, by chance, I saved someone..."

Lu Yuanzheng fell asleep before he could finish his words, and Xu Wen didn't have time to ask any more questions as she was also very sleepy.

Lu Yuanzheng and I fell asleep together.

His wish of reconciliation with her failed.

After deciding to use 3D-printed bone transplants, there is still a lot of follow-up work to be done.

For example, when debugging the 3D printer, Luo Zemin was abroad, so Xu Wen had to transfer a technician from the factory, who was said to have learned a lot from Luo Zemin himself.

Xu Wen was worried, so he called Tan Changlin again, hoping he could help.

It turned out that Luo Zemin arrived faster than Tan Changlin.

Luo Zemin had just returned to Rainbow Island after finishing some work for Xu Wen. When he heard about what happened here, he hurried over.

Tan Changlin just temporarily handed over his work and came here by train.

Three days later, everyone gathered at the military hospital to discuss Guo Jianye's surgery.

In the future, bone transplantation will not be considered a difficult surgery. However, various high-tech large-scale medical equipment will also play a big role.

It was indeed very difficult in the early 1980s when medical conditions were relatively difficult.

After much discussion, we decided to conduct experiments on animals first before using it in clinical practice.

On the fifth day, Xu Wen hurried back to Rainbow Island. She had been out for too long and was afraid that Xiao Xiachu and Dongsheng would miss her.

And she missed them, too.

Lu Yuanzheng went back with her, as he had not yet handed over his work on the Yangtze River.

However, no matter how busy you are, you must take time to visit your children first.

Dongsheng was fine. He had adapted to Lu Yuanzheng's intermittent disappearances and didn't react much to his sudden reappearance. He was just a little more affectionate than usual.

I am more interested in Xu Wen.

Xiao Xiachu was different. She had lived for less than a year, and Lu Yuanzheng had been absent for nearly half of her life. It was impossible for her to recognize him.

Lu Yuanzheng wanted to hug her. Xiao Xiachu was not shy, but it was obvious that she wanted Xu Wen as her mother more than this strange "father".

Seeing that Lu Yuanzheng refused to let her go to find her mother and that her mother was monopolized by her brother, Xiao Xiachu burst into tears with a clenched mouth.

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

Xu asked: "..."

Zhu Meizhen quickly tried to smooth things over: "You two haven't seen each other for a long time. This is normal. It will be fine after a while."

Lu Yuanzheng still has so much work to do, so there is no time to wait for Xiao Xiachu to gradually become familiar with the task. He can only give up the task for now and hand it over to Xu Wen.

Xu Wen sat on a chair, holding Xiao Xiachu in one hand and Dongsheng in the other.

Dongsheng is fine and is used to accepting Xiachu's presence.

But Xiao Xiachu somehow became overbearing and kept pushing Dongsheng with her little hands.

Although she was not very strong and could not speak a complete sentence, except for the word "mama", the rest sounded like babbling. But everyone present, including Dongsheng, understood what she meant.

She asked Dongsheng to go away, she wanted to be held by Xu Wen.

Xu Wen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I haven't seen you for a few days, how come you are still so bossy?"

Zhu Meizhen was distressed and didn't let Xu Wenxun to question Xia Chu, "How is she domineering? You just stopped breastfeeding, but you also hurt others. Such a young child said he didn't want to be fed and refused to be fed. He said he would be gone for several days. Is it normal for the child to miss you?"

Dongsheng slipped out of Xu Wen's arms when he heard this, "Then mommy, you hold your sister first! Your sister misses you so much, she often cries because of missing you lately!"

Xu Wen felt a mixture of tenderness and sadness in her heart, and she kissed Dongsheng on the forehead first, "Thank you, my Dongsheng, for being so sensible! Then mommy will hug you later."

She held Xiao Xiachu tightly in her arms.

Before the mother and daughter could express their longing for each other through a hug, they were interrupted by Xiao Xiachu.

Xiao Xiachu babbled anxiously, arched her head towards Xu Wen, her little nose twitching, and her hands naturally went to hook Xu Wen's collar.

The meaning is obvious.

She wants to breastfeed.

Xu asked: "..."

Dongsheng: “…”

Zhu Meizhen: “…”

"It's strange! She has been following me recently and hasn't looked for you!" Zhu Meizhen shook her head, "It's been eight or nine days, you still have milk?"

Xu Wen shook his head, "Probably gone."

She has been busy in Haicheng these days, so busy that she sometimes has no time to take care of her bloating and pain, not to mention the milk-suppressing medicine that Lu Yuanzheng brought her.

She has gradually stopped feeling the bloating and pain in the past two days.

Xu Wen held Xiao Xiachu, stopped her movements, comforted her patiently, and told her that she could eat independently and could no longer drink milk.

Mainly because grandma doesn’t drink it anymore.

Xiao Xiachu is more than ten months old after all. Normally, he can take a few steps without any problem. Naturally, he can understand Xu Wen's refusal.

As soon as her little mouth twitched, she started crying.

Xu Wen thought that this might be due to craving for milk, but it was more likely due to separation anxiety.

She felt distressed and blamed herself but she couldn't be soft-hearted. She had been weaned for so many days and it was impossible for her to compromise just because Xiao Xiachu cried.

The main reason is that it is already disabled milk, and eating it will not be good for her body.

Regardless of whether Xiao Xiachu could understand or not, Xu Wen patiently told Xiao Xiachu that he was away from her not because he wanted to abandon her, but because there was a very important patient who needed to be saved.

Moreover, the patient's uncle once held her in his arms.

Dongsheng was also listening. In fact, he had often heard Xu Wen's soothing explanations in the past few years.

Ever since Xia Chu was born, he would subconsciously compare whether Xu Wen was really as good to him as he was to Xia Chu.

It's a pity that Xia Chu is too young to be compared.

He can't just follow Xia Chu in breastfeeding, right? He can't go back to wearing open-crotch pants while Xia Chu is wearing diapers.

There is no way to compare them. Neither Xu Wen nor Lu Yuanzheng neglected him because of Xia Chu, so they gradually let it go.

But maybe Dongsheng himself didn't notice it, but in a corner of his heart, he still remembered it.

Until today, Dongsheng discovered that Xu Wen treated Xia Chu and him the same way. She would leave them for a few days when she had to. When she came back, no matter how old they were, she would explain to them seriously what she had done that prevented her from being with them.

A brief separation will not affect her love.

When she was not with them, she missed them as much as they missed her.

Dongsheng sat on a small stool, looking up at Xu Wen coaxing Xia Chu in a gentle voice, and the darkness in the corner of his heart inexplicably dissipated.

At that moment, he had a feeling that was not appropriate for his age.

It doesn't matter whether he is my biological son or not.

What’s important is that Xu Wen is just that kind of person.

Such a good mother he chose himself!

Of course, his father Lu Yuanzheng obviously thinks so too.

Just then Xu Qie came back and Dongsheng followed him again.

Xu Wen coaxed Xiao Xiachu for a long time, and Xiao Xiachu, who now had eight teeth, finally stopped crying and laughed.

He just asked Xu a lot more questions than usual.

Zhu Meizhen knew that she would not be able to eat if she hurried, so she went to her private plot to pick some vegetables and asked Xu Qiushi to kill a chicken and keep it aside, waiting for them to come back before starting to cook.

Xu Wen held Xia Chu in his arms and followed Zhu Meizhen into the kitchen. "Mom, why can't I see my dad?"

"He went up the mountain to quarry stones and will be back soon."

Xu Wen frowned, "Why would he get stones? It's dangerous at his age. If you need stones, just tell Lu Yuanzheng and ask him to get them. Don't you always say that Lu Yuanzheng is also your son? You can't just think about your son when you have good food and drink, and selectively forget about him when you are working, right?"

Zhu Meizhen, who was washing vegetables, turned around and rolled her eyes at Xu Wen. "Your father and I would never do such a thing! Besides, when will Xiao Zheng be free? Didn't he just get ashore? Not to mention him, you're so busy too. I can't even catch you if I want to discuss something with you.

It's just right, you stay here for dinner tonight. Let's have a good discussion, and you can persuade your father to stop being so stubborn!"

"What's wrong?"
