Chapter 184

Lu Yuanzheng had a typical nagging face at this moment.

Xu Wen rolled his eyes, "Why are you like this? You're leaving after the National Day anyway."

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

He said aggrievedly, "How about you leave two days later and give me a ride?"

"What's the difference? If you say that I will stay and you won't leave, then I won't go to Beijing. We don't have to send each other back and forth."

Lu Yuanzheng stopped talking.

He has always been calm and reserved.

But this time Xu Wen clearly felt his unhappiness.

I felt distressed but also a little curious: "When did you become so sentimental?"

This isn't the first time the two of them have separated!

In the past, Lu Yuanzheng would certainly feel reluctant to part, but never like this... Just a little bit hypocritical? Throwing a temper? Can't bear to leave?

I don't know how to describe it, but it's quite rare.

Lu Yuanzheng looked a little depressed. "From the day I came back from the typhoon until now, it seems like we haven't had a good chat or even a meal together."

For the past two months, the two of them seemed to be busier than each other.

Occasionally we would eat together, but we would finish quickly and then go our separate ways.

He went to the construction site and she went to the factory.

It is difficult for the two of us to get home at the same time at night, but we often get up together in the morning.

Either you do it as soon as you open your eyes, and then wash up in a hurry and go your separate ways, or you put on your clothes and go your separate ways directly, regardless of whether you wake up early or late, and whether you can do it once.

If we don't race against time to speed up the construction, it would be impossible to complete the construction of so many houses in two months.

And Xu Wen couldn't help being busy.

The diaper factory is doing particularly well now, but apart from paying the workers' wages and daily operations, she donated all income other than dividends to the camp headquarters.

For the post-disaster reconstruction of Rainbow Island, the state will allocate part of the disaster relief funds, and the military finances will also provide part of the funds for support, but there is still a big gap in funds.

Because there was too much to rebuild: an entire military compound, a school, and two administrative villages.

Xu Wen paid the difference out of her own pocket. Her money wasn't enough, so the little difference was made up by everyone's collective fundraising.

The people on the island, whether they were military dependents, workers, or Mrs. Li, all donated a lot of money voluntarily.

If calculated by the amount of donations, Xu Wen is first, Luo Zemin is second, and Mrs. Li is third.

The fishermen have no money, so they just work hard. Anyway, the Rainbow Island has been unprecedentedly united recently.

However, the most intimate moment between Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng after they reunited after a long separation was the indulgence they had on the boat on a typhoon night.

Apart from that, they were like an old couple in middle age who slept in separate rooms and were busy with their own things.

Xu Wen was fine, probably because she had always known that every step she took and every effort she made now were to prepare for a future without separation, or at least to avoid losing contact.

The only thing she didn't expect was that Lu Yuanzheng would be so lost.

Xu Wen thought about it and realized that he seemed to have not had time to tell Lu Yuanzheng about his last trip to the capital.

So Xu Wen picked up the important things and talked about them, such as how the three big bosses all gave her face and how Mr. Huang even said he would transfer Lu Yuanzheng to the capital in order to get her the job.

Actually, I have said everything that needs to be said. The only part I haven't mentioned is the bad guy I encountered on the train.

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

"Now, is there still such a chance? Why don't you just agree to it! I am willing to follow my husband's lead!"

Just kidding, who is Mr. Huang?

That is to say, now that they have abolished the military title system, Xu Wen only knows that Mr. Huang is a high-ranking official with four pockets.

Otherwise, Xu Wen probably wouldn't dare to talk to Mr. Huang so freely.

Xu asked: "..."

"I will take your words seriously. Mr. Huang said his promise is always valid."

Lu Yuanzheng frowned, raised his eyebrows and asked Xu Wen, "Do you want me to go? If you do, I will go."

Xu Wen hesitated for three seconds and shook his head.

It was Lu Yuanzheng's turn to be curious: "Why?"

"If you like working in an office, you wouldn't need me and would have been promoted long ago. You like the frontline combat troops, but now there is no war on land in our country, and you are going to the sea again. I am afraid that you will be like a fish out of water in the capital."

Xu Wen wrinkled his nose in disdain. "I don't want to embark on a journey without a soul! Besides, the purpose of my wanting to have a mobile phone and satellite calls is to be able to contact you all the time. If you follow me wherever I go, why would I bother with all this trouble?"

Others may not know this, but you do. All I want to do will be realized slowly in the future. ”

She was anxious to take a shortcut and overtake.

Lu Yuanzheng was silent for a while, then said, "Wife!"

Just three words, with a tone similar to that of an exclamation.

It's like I have so much in my heart but I don't know how to express it.

Xu Wen waved his hands and said, "I thought we could skip these polite words between the two of us."

There is no need for any emotion, thanks or apology.

Just because she loves Lu Yuanzheng and Lu Yuanzheng also loves her.

They are lovers and relatives.

Lu Yuanzheng's Adam's apple rolled, and his gaze at Xu Wen became deep and long, "I must be a great philanthropist in my life, the kind of philanthropist who doesn't leave a single cent of his savings to future generations but donates it all!"

Xu asked: "..."

Putting aside whether this behavior is good or stupid, why did you suddenly say such a thing?

Xu Wen raised his eyebrows and looked inquiringly.

"It's okay! I just thought that I must have done too much good deeds in my previous life, so I met you in this life!"

Xu Wen chuckled.

This love talk is so tacky.

But when it comes from the mouth of someone like Lu Yuanzheng, it sounds less greasy and more sincere.

Seeing that his mood had visibly improved, Xu Wen teased him, "Are you so insincere? You said you wanted to go to Beijing with me, but you didn't go after just one word of persuasion? Are you trying to coax me?"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

He held Xu Wen's hand, stood up, and walked out with her in his arms.

"Eh? Where are you going?"

"Go home and show you my sincerity."

Xu asked: "..."

Xu Wen slapped his wrist with his other hand and said unhappily, "Today we're warming up the pot! If you leave, will your mother be mad at you?"

Lu Yuanzheng thought so too, and could only suppress his emotion. He sat back at the stone table, still holding Xu Wen's hand, and asked, "Wife..."

"ah?"

Zhu Meizhen, who was coming out of the kitchen with a shovel, happened to see the two people's hands clasped on the stone table. She uttered an "ah" and was stunned for a second. Then she turned around and went into the house, muttering as she walked, "I'm old now, my brain isn't working well anymore. What was I trying to do?"

Xu asked: "..."

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

Both of them felt a little embarrassed.

No matter how close they are, they only spend time together in private, and usually keep a distance in front of their elders.

The feeling of being seen by parents can make even an elderly couple feel uncomfortable about falling in love too early.

Xu Wen stood up and said, "I'll go see if my second brother and eldest sister have arrived!"

Lu Yuanzheng stood up and said, "I'll go with you!"

Zhu Meizhen in the kitchen also breathed a sigh of relief. She had originally wanted to ask Xu Wen to go and see if Xu Wang and the others had arrived, and when she went out she happened to see them.

If they were in the village before, Zhu Meizhen would also feel that her daughter and son-in-law were a little weird, but after being together for so long, she knew very well that her daughter and son-in-law were together less often than they were apart, and they had little time to spend together, so it was normal for them to be a little bit intimate.

Lu Yuanzheng picked up his daughter and let her ride on his neck. He held his daughter's chubby legs with one hand to prevent her from falling, and walked out with Xu Wen in the other hand.

As soon as I arrived at the village entrance, I saw Xu Wang and his wife and Xu Wen's family of three looking around at the entrance.

They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xu Wen and his family of three. Then Xu Wang started to complain: "All of your houses look the same! We walked around for a long time but couldn't figure out which one was which!"

These houses were built in a very military style, all the same in length and width.

Not to mention that Xu Wang and his group had just arrived, even small landlords like Xu Qie and Dongsheng had difficulty finding their way home now.

"Houses built in the same way should have the same style!" Xu Wen laughed at him, "Second brother, you should stand at the entrance of the village and shout, so that I can hear the noise and come out to pick you up!"

Xu Wen rolled his eyes, "If my sister calls you, you might come out to answer her. If I call you, you'd just want to see me having fun!"

Xu Wang laughed: "I don't want to shout! It's so embarrassing!"

Xu Wen said sternly, "Second brother, look at what you are saying! You didn't come here by yourself, so how can I watch you being so lively? I have to come to pick up my sister-in-law."

Xu Wen: “…”

Not comforted at all.

Lu Yuanzheng took his daughter off his neck and said to them, "Let's talk about it when we get home! It's so hot here!"

Several people were walking and chatting.

"Don't mention it! These houses are built pretty well! The two-story building is very grand, it would be even better if there was a small courtyard." Xu Wen commented.

Xie Dechun said: "When I was walking around just now, I saw that several families have already started to build their own courtyards. In one corner of the courtyard, they planted vegetables and raised chickens and ducks. Their lives are so beautiful!"

Xu Wen couldn't stand his brother-in-law, and of course he couldn't stand his brother-in-law either, so he didn't hesitate at all, "Then don't open a shop anymore, come and be an island resident! I can arrange this for you with just a few questions!"

Xu Wang patted Xu Wen on the shoulder and said, "How can you talk to your brother-in-law? But when you get old, you can indeed settle down here. It's too cold in the north, but it's not cold here in winter. When we make enough money and our children and grandchildren grow up and don't need us anymore, we can live by the sea and go fishing every day. It's so beautiful!"

“…”

Several people were walking and chatting.

When we got home, Zhu Meizhen and Xu Qiushi had already cooked most of the dishes.

"Mom and Dad, stop working! We brought a lot of dishes and you can eat them just by heating them up." Xu Wang leaned against the kitchen door and shouted to Zhu Meizhen and Xu Qiushi.

"That's right." Sang Xiaoqing put Chunsheng down and followed him. "We went to the hotel to pack some dishes when we came here. It's so hot today, so don't bother."

Zhu Meizhen was happy that her children loved her, but she complained: "Why did you spend that money? Besides, it would be a joke if we bought food from other people when we own our own restaurant."

"What's the big deal? Our specialty is dumplings and Shandong cuisine. Can't we try Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine? Mom, your thinking is too feudal!"

Xu Wang rolled his eyes and patted Xu Wen on the arm. "How do you talk to our mother like that? She's always been frugal! She can't stand your extravagance and waste. What's wrong with a few words to you? You're thirty years old, why are you still talking back to your parents?"

Xu Wen hissed, not daring to fight back and could only move aside, still protesting: "What's wrong with being thirty years old? I'm still younger than you at thirty! Besides, I'm just stating the facts, how can I argue with you?"

Xu Wen was happy to see the excitement and picked up a piece of fruit and put it into his mouth.

Xu Wen immediately directed the fight towards Xu Wen. He pointed at Xu Wen and said to Xu Wang, "Why don't you say anything about her? Look, she's already a mother, but she's still acting like a child!"

Xu Wang rolled his eyes, "Xu Wen, have you become stupid in your business recently? Are you jealous of Xu Wen? Okay, even if you want to be jealous, have you ever taken advantage of her in all these years?"

Xu Wen: “…”

no.

Xu Wen made a mistake and he was the one who got scolded.

Adults would say that he did not take good care of his sister as a brother.

Xu Wen was praised and scolded.

Adults would say that as a brother he is not as sensible as his sister.

All in all, nothing good will happen to Xu Wen if he's with him.

Xu Wen was at a loss for words, so he grabbed Chunsheng by the collar and pulled him over, pointing at him and asking, "Son, read this carefully and remember this! When you look for a wife in the future, you must not look for someone like your aunt, understand?"

Chunsheng was only four years old, how could he understand all this? He shook off Xu Wen's hand and threw himself into Xu Wen's arms, "I don't want to! My aunt is the most beautiful. When I grow up, I want to marry her!"

Dongsheng rolled his eyes, "You can't marry my mother!"

"Why?"

“…”

In the small yard, adults and children were talking and laughing, and the place was bustling with activity.

The children were playful and ran out in a group without eating much.

Xiao Xiachu, who was just over one year old, looked at the backs of his uncle and brothers, and anxiously pulled at Xu Wen's clothes.

Xu Wen shook his head, "No! You are too young."

Xiao Xiachu pouted and burst into tears.

Xu asked: "..."

Lu Yuanzheng immediately felt distressed and picked up the girl, "Come on, Dad will take you to catch up with your brothers."

"Don't chase me. I knew it." Xu Qi walked back from the door like a little adult, with a look of despair on his face, "Women are troublesome no matter how old they are."

Xu Qi, as the "elder", has returned, so of course Dongshengchunsheng Yuanbao must also come back.

Xia Chu stopped crying immediately, and ran from Lu Yuanzheng's arms to Xu Qie, crying, "Uncle! Uncle!"

Xu Qie desperately carried Xia Chu out of the door.

Why does he want to be the head of the Xu family?

He should be spoiled by his older brothers and sisters, but he has to take care of the "younger generation" all day long.

Without the noisy children, the yard became much quieter and the adults could chat in peace.

Zhu Meizhen was too busy to go to Pengcheng recently, so she asked Xu Wang and Xu Wen, "How is your business going?"

"Very good!" Xu Wen mumbled. He had just stuffed a piece of hot chicken into his mouth, which was hissing from the heat.

Sang Xiaoqing handed him a glass of cold water and said, "Let's talk after we finish eating. No one will compete with you for the drink."

She glanced at Xu Wen before speaking: "With our ideas, how can business be bad? We will open a branch in the provincial capital next month!"

Xu Wen chuckled and shook his head, "I'm just giving blind advice. It's you and my brother who can endure the hardship."

Xu Wang shook his head. "That was last year. They are now the boss and his wife. The store employs cooks, waiters, cleaners and dishwashers. Xu Wen is busy setting up the new store, and Xiaoqing is just collecting money and keeping accounts. The boss' wife shouldn't have an easy life."

Xu Wen immediately retorted: "You are talking as if you are not the boss! Your store has been expanding and expanding, and you even hired two waiters. Now you are just drawing pictures, and my brother-in-law is only responsible for inventory and reconciliation. Aren't you also big bosses?!"

Zhu Meizhen couldn't stop smiling when she heard that her sons and daughters' businesses were doing well and their lives were booming. "My life now is like a dream!"

She pointed at a table full of delicious fish and meat, "A few years ago, our family improved our lives during the Chinese New Year by making mushroom soup with a few slices of meat in it. In just a few years, you have all bought houses in Pengcheng and become bosses! That's great!"

Xu Qiushi nodded. "People say that children have their own blessings. If they are doing well, we will also benefit from it! Life is indeed much better now."

Sang Xiaoqing looked at Xu Wen gratefully, "Thank you for that. Since she got married, she has been the one who has taken care of everything and helped us live a good life."

The Xu family thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case.

After Xu Wen got married, he first helped Xu Wen build a house, and later brought Xu Wen and his second uncle to Pengcheng to work and do business.

Then come and bring your family here later.

Xu Wen’s shadow is indeed everywhere.

Of course Xu Wen herself is even more amazing. She is now a female factory manager. Not only does she have business all over the country, she has also been busy with exports recently.

Before that, Xu Wen not only went to Beijing to promote the product, but also wrote letters to his students all over the country, asking them to help with the promotion.

In addition, the sisters-in-law also come from all over the country. When their husbands go home on vacation, they also bring samples back to their own cities to promote them.

No matter what era, no matter how poor or difficult the environment is, there are always rich people.

Besides, the urine produced by Xu Wen is not wet, which is needed by the whole world.

We have received so many orders from all over the world.

Zhu Meizhen obviously favored her son-in-law. She nodded and said, "If that's the case, then we should ask if she is lucky. Marry Xiao Zheng! Xiao Zheng is a lucky wife!"

Xu asked: "..."

Xu Wen, Sang Xiaoqing: "..."

Xu Wang: “…”

Xu Wen laughed out loud without any hesitation.

Xie Dechun felt inexplicably lucky. He didn't want this kind of compliment from his wife.

Lu Yuanzheng was particularly calm, and even raised his glass to Zhu Meizhen in a toast, "Thank you, Mom!"

Xu asked: "..."

Xu Wen laughed even louder.

After dinner, Sang Xiaoqing and Xu Wang helped Zhu Meizhen clean up the table and the kitchen.

Xu Wen, Lu Yuanzheng and Xie Dechun each had a cigarette and chatted while smoking.

Xie Dechun was older, a bit like Xu Qiushi, with a stronger farmer's aura, and was still somewhat unaccustomed to the fast-paced development of Pengcheng. He looked at this courtyard with envy, "This courtyard is really nice!"

He pointed to the empty space on the right and said, "Let's build a vegetable garden here and a chicken coop to raise a few chickens. Tsk!"

Xu Wen rolled his eyes. "Why are you like our dad, unwilling to farm? Haven't you farmed enough at home? It's hard and tiring."

It is the most difficult to dig for food in the fields. In addition to relying on God for food, you also have to put in hard work and sweat which may not be proportional.

Xu Wen never wanted to endure the experience of harvesting wheat under the scorching sun, or squatting to plant rice seedlings again.

Xu Qiushi happened to hear this and said angrily, "You are ungrateful! We ordinary people are supported by the land. Besides, you don't even know your last name after just a few days of doing business? Boss Xu, you don't eat human food, do you? Did the rice and flour in your store appear out of thin air?"

Xu Wen: “…”

“I paid for it, too!”

"Then we ordinary people don't grow food, go buy one for me and see!"

Xie Dechun also chimed in: "Although farming may not guarantee a harvest in case of drought, isn't it the same with doing business? Sometimes you make money and sometimes you lose money. In business, you put in effort but may not make money. Farming is down-to-earth. You start with sowing seeds. As long as God is not too unlucky, you can watch the crops grow little by little and get a good harvest. You may sweat a little, but you will feel at ease."

Lu Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows, "Brother-in-law, do you regret it?"

Xie Dechun shook his head without thinking, "No regrets."

Xu Wen also asked: "Why? Didn't you just say you wanted to farm?"

"Because your sister likes being here. She has lived with me for more than ten years and has never had a good life. I didn't notice anything before, but in the past two years in Pengcheng, I realized that she was not very happy at home. Look at her now, she is smiling and cheerful all day long."

Xu Wen glanced at Xie Dechun, and for once he didn't argue with him. He nodded and said, "You have a conscience!"

Xie Dechun performed well, and Lu Yuanzheng became the control group. Xu Wen pointed at Xie Dechun and said to Lu Yuanzheng: "Look at our brother-in-law's enlightenment! Look at you! Our brother-in-law is always around our sister. You are so good, running around all day, always letting Xu Wen be around you! The typhoon is so strong, and you leave her with the two children..."

Xu Wen came out of the kitchen, shaking off the water on his hands, and just in time to hear and interrupt Xu Wen, "Brother, you want to persuade Lu Yuanzheng to change his career. Let me ask you, who will guard this island? You?"

"He's not the only soldier."

"If everyone has the same idea as you, there will be no soldiers left. Everyone will go back to take care of their wives and children. Who will be left to defend the country?"

Xu Wen: “…”

Of course Xu Wen didn't really think Lu Yuanzheng was a bad person. On the contrary, he admired Lu Yuanzheng very much. However, Lu Yuanzheng was his brother-in-law, and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't find fault with him.

Xu Wen, who was squeezed into silence, rolled his eyes and said, "A sister who is married off is like water spilled out! I am a bad guy and I don't even know who I am doing it for!"

Xu asked: "..."

Lu Yuanzheng chuckled, "My wife still loves me!"

Xu Wen: “…”

Xu Wen rolled his eyes and moved away from them.

Rainbow Island has been celebrating National Day in almost the same way over the past few years.

Especially this year, in addition to the customs of previous years, an island-wide party was added to celebrate post-disaster reconstruction.

However, the party will be held tomorrow, because the visiting delegation will visit the island on National Day.

Of course, reporters are indispensable for such a festival event.

Ding Yufeng's nth attempt to interview Xu Wen failed again.

Ding Yufeng was also helpless. She had been chasing Xu Wen for an interview for four years.

From the time Xu Wen started working on wind power generation in 1977 or 1978 to the present day, every attempt to interview Xu Wen has failed.

Not only are we not allowed to interview her, we are not allowed to write about her deeds either.

What's even worse is that Xu Wen secretly reported her story in order to prevent her from doing so, and even allowed Lu Yuanzheng to submit the official application.

Removing those official terms, it means that in order to protect Xu Wen's privacy, her actions should be kept confidential.

Ding Yufeng was so angry that she almost smashed her desk.

She just didn't understand. Xu Wen was doing good things. What was there to keep secret?

The only time she succeeded in getting Xu Wen to show up was when Xu Wen was the master of ceremonies at a group wedding.

Xu Wen took a bowl of ice porridge from the kitchen refrigerator and handed it to Ding Yufeng, "Come, have a bowl of ice to cool down."

Ding Yufeng glanced at Xu Wen with resentment, "Let me interview you. I'm definitely not angry."

"You are a military reporter. Shouldn't you interview those outstanding officers and soldiers? Why are you chasing after a military dependent like me?" Xu Wen also wondered why she was so persistent.

"They should be interviewed, but it doesn't conflict with interviewing you. They are the front line and you are the rear, both are equally important."

"If you have so much free time, you can be a war correspondent. I've read your articles, and I feel like it's a waste of your talent to write propaganda articles like this."

Ding Yufeng's expression became even more resentful. "Sister-in-law, I can tolerate your refusal to cooperate with the interview and hurt my feelings, but you are stabbing me in the heart. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Xu asked, "Huh?", a little confused.

It was just a casual suggestion, why did you stab me in the back?

Ding Yufeng didn't plan to explain. She finished her ice porridge happily, wiped her mouth, stood up and left, leaving only one sentence before leaving: "Before I change my job, I must interview you."

Xu asked: "..."

The consolation performance was very new when I watched it for the first time, but after watching it every year, I really don’t feel very interested in it.

Xu Wenbai returned home bored, wishing he had a TV to watch.

Unfortunately, not to mention the TV, even the radio on the island often has no signal.

Xu Wen looked up at the night sky and wondered when the country would decide to lay submarine fiber optic cables?

Or, how about trying your best and donating money to the military to install submarine optical cables?

Let me ask the magic mirror, how many meters does it take to build the road from the shore to Rainbow Island? How much does it cost per meter?

Lu Yuanzheng was still the highest-ranking military officer on the island, and he still had to give a speech before the performance began, and he still had to sit for a symbolic moment before he could leave and come back to ask Xu.

When he entered the room, Xu Wen had just finished taking a shower and was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book.

Xu Wen didn't expect him to come back so early, and was a little surprised, "Why did you come back so early?"

"Because this is probably the only time when it's just you and me at home."

Xu asked: "..."

Xu Wang and Xu Wen's family returned to Pengcheng in the afternoon.

It was a rare occasion for there to be entertainment activities on the island, so Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen took a few children to watch the excitement.

It is true that only Xu Wen would think that such a party is boring and would rather read at home.

While Lu Yuanzheng was talking, he had already taken off his clothes on his own initiative, lifted his long legs and climbed onto the bed. At the same time, he pulled Xu Wenshu away with one hand and pulled her into his arms with the other.

"Hey!" Xu Wen exclaimed, "You haven't even taken a shower yet!"

She can't run away, why is she so anxious?

"I'll have to wash it soon anyway, so this time won't make any difference."

Xu asked: "..."

Xu Wen didn't have a chance to protest. Lu Yuanzheng kissed her on the lips and slid his big hand under her pajamas and lifted it up.

…

The two were still reluctant to part, but seeing the lively atmosphere, all the family members came back.

Xu Wen was startled when he heard the noise.

Lu Yuanzheng didn't expect her reaction to be so big.

Xu Wen was so frightened that he shivered and his whole body tensed up.

Lu Yuanzheng was caught off guard and groaned... He was a little unwilling and laughed at her: "Are you so scared?!"

Xu Wen was so angry that he set off on a journey, "It's all your fault!"

He coaxed her into saying it would be quick.

As a result, after just one or two hours of hard work, Xu Qiushi and the others returned.

Moreover, the last time Xu Wen looked in the mirror after taking a shower, one could tell what she had done by looking at her face now. How could she go downstairs to say hello to her parents?

Xia Chu is still with Zhu Meizhen, we have to bring her back, right?

Lu Yuanzheng was hit hard, but it didn't hurt anyway. He took a towel and wiped it briefly, then picked up his pants and shirt and put them on. "I'll go down and say you fell asleep."

Xu Wen asked unhappily, "What else?"

After Lu Yuanzheng came downstairs, Xu Wen went into the bathroom and took another shower, scolding him while he was washing.

"Dog man!"

When Lu Yuanzheng came up, he could still hear Xu Wen's angry complaints. He raised his eyebrows, turned up the corners of his mouth, raised his hand and knocked on the bathroom door, "You will make me mistakenly think that I didn't perform well just now and didn't satisfy you! Otherwise, how about we do it again?" Anyway, they would be separated tomorrow, so it didn't matter if their legs were weak.

Xu asked: "..."

He squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Get out!"

After cursing for a while, he finally shut up.

She is just the toughest. Lu Yuanzheng is the opposite. She won't talk back but will take action.

A good girl doesn't hang out with an evil boy.

Xu Wen came out and found that only Lu Yuanzheng was lying on the bed, "Where's Xia Chu?"

"Xia Chu has already fallen asleep. Mom said to let Xia Chu stay with her tonight."

Xu asked: "..."

My face suddenly felt hot.

It's like when I was a kid and I did something wrong. I handled the scene of the accident and thought I hid it well.

For example, after eating secretly, they would wipe their mouths and pretend nothing happened, thinking that the adults didn't notice.

In fact, the face was washed clean, but there were still obvious traces of the crime on the clothes.

It's just that her parents are willing to cooperate with her in covering their ears and stealing the bell.

The same is true now.

Both parents knew that she and Lu Yuanzheng were going to be separated again, and the two of them needed some space alone.

Xu Wen even suspected that they had brought the children back so late on purpose.

Xia Chu was probably left there on purpose.

Besides shyness, I was more moved.

Parents' love is always like this, low-key, not obvious, but everywhere.

I'm obviously very sleepy and tired.

But I couldn't sleep.

This happens every time before we part.

How difficult it is to adapt to the sadness of separation.

The two hugged each other and talked for a while.

Xu Wen suddenly thought of Ding Yufeng and asked Lu Yuanzheng: "Do you know reporter Ding?"

Lu Yuanzheng opened his eyes, and his vision became clearer instantly. He said with a vigilant look, "What did she tell you? I have nothing to do with her. We only met a few times before, and we were not familiar with each other! And she had a date at the time, and we were talking about marriage."

Xu asked: "..."

For a moment, she didn't know whether to sigh at her ability to save her husband, or to reflect on whether she was too jealous and frightened by Lu Yuanzheng.

Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't spare Lu Yuanzheng's mouth, "Comrade Lu Yuanzheng, are you guilty of being a thief? I didn't say anything, why are you so anxious to explain? You make me think you are 'there is something fishy here'!"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

"Why do you mention her all of a sudden?"

"What do you mean by for no reason? She has never come to the island without asking me for an interview."

Ding Yufeng had also seen Lu Yuanzheng's obsession with Xu Wen, so she chuckled and said, "She is just stubborn. Just ignore her."

"Didn't you say you weren't familiar with him? How do you know he's stubborn?"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

Lu Yuanzheng decided not to chat anymore, at least not on this topic as it was too dangerous. He sat up and said, "Wife, if you're not sleepy, we can still do something else."

Xu asked: "..."

She reached out her hand to stop Lu Yuanzheng from getting closer, "I'm not jealous, I just want to ask you if she has ever been a war correspondent?"

Lu Yuanzheng nodded and said "hmm".

Sure enough, Xu Wenxin thought, no wonder they say that.

"What's wrong? Why are you asking this all of a sudden? And how do you know she was a war correspondent?"

Xu Wen then told him about their conversation in the afternoon.

Lu Yuanzheng said, "It's not your fault! She is also a person with a story."

Xu Wen felt that if someone like Ding Yufeng had a story, it must be a particularly touching one, so he stood up and got into a listening posture: "Can you tell me?"

"I didn't think you'd want to know."

“I want to know now.”

Lu Yuanzheng raised his eyelids, glanced at Xu Wen, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.

It's actually very simple.

Ten years ago, Ding Yufeng was also a new journalist, full of enthusiasm and active on the battlefield.

It was as if a flower suddenly appeared in a temple, attracting the attention of most officers and soldiers.

Xu Wen couldn't help but interrupt him: "Does that include you?"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

"At that time, your man was only 18 years old! He only wanted to fight on the battlefield and didn't understand the love between a man and a woman."

Ding Yufeng was a few years older than Lu Yuanzheng, and she mainly attracted unmarried male officers and soldiers of marriageable age at that time.

Among all the heroes, Lu Yuanzheng's squad leader at the time took the lead and won Ding Yufeng's favor.

The two became a couple.

Wherever they went, Ding Yufeng followed.

Fighting is fighting, and when you stop fighting you always have time for jokes.

Everyone made fun of them.

Although Ding Yufeng was a female comrade, she was also very brave. She would always be there wherever there was danger and would record the situation on the battlefield as soon as possible.

If they won more military medals during their long expedition, Ding Yufeng would also receive more certificates of honor.

In her unit, she is one of the best young journalists.

Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever on the battlefield; there are victories and defeats.

The price of failure is often life.

While covering the retreat of the main force, Lu Yuanzheng's squad leader unfortunately fell into the hands of the enemy.

While they were still working on a rescue plan, Ding Yufeng entered the military camp alone.

"Tsk! Doesn't she seem like such an impatient person?" Xu Wen exclaimed.

Can love really make a person's IQ drop to zero?

"It's not entirely her fault." Lu Yuanzheng couldn't help frowning when he thought of the past. "On the battlefield, according to international rules, no matter if they are enemies or friends, they will not harm doctors who don't hold guns or reporters who record the war.

That's why Ding Yufeng wanted to take the risk and go into the enemy's war zone alone. She wasn't being reckless, she wanted to explore the way for us."

At this point, Lu Yuanzheng sighed, "Unfortunately, not everyone is willing to abide by the rules, otherwise there would be no war to achieve world peace.

Unfortunately, Ding Yufeng was also arrested!"

Xu asked: "..."

My heart ached when I heard this, and I couldn't help but ask, "What happened next?"

"Later, we only rescued Ding Yufeng." Lu Yuanzheng pursed his lips, and his seemingly calm words concealed a bit of gnashing anger.

"ah?"

Xu Wen was puzzled, then reacted.

Saving only one meant sacrificing the other.

Xu Wen opened and closed his mouth, seemingly unwilling to accept this cruel reality.

So she changed the subject, "Then why didn't Ding Yufeng become a war correspondent?"

I regretted it after asking.

Originally, I just wanted to change the question and not reveal where Lu Yuanzheng's squad leader had gone so that I could pretend that he was still alive.

But once this question is asked, we are back to square one.

But she was afraid of the answer, yet curious about Ding Yufeng.

Lu Yuanzheng glanced down at her, not in the mood to keep the secret. "When she was rescued, her mental problems were much more serious than her physical injuries. She was sent to the hospital for recuperation for more than a year before she came back. However, she has since changed from a war correspondent to a propaganda officer in the Propaganda Department.

We often report on things happening in the army, such as which unit has an art performance, which soldier has made a great contribution, and other such entertainment news."
