Chapter 187

Xu Wen rubbed his eyes, unable to tell for a moment whether it was reality or a dream.

He stretched out his hand to pinch himself to see if it hurt, but his hand fell on his arm, so he retracted his hand and pinched Lu Yuanzheng instead.

Knowing that the flesh on Lu Yuanzheng's body was hard and would not hurt if pinched, he touched the soft flesh on the inside of his thigh and pinched it.

"Hiss!" Lu Yuanzheng woke up in pain, grabbed Xu Wen's hand, opened his eyes with difficulty and looked at her, and said in a hoarse voice: "Are you so unsatisfied so early in the morning? If you want it, just say it. Why do you just do it?"

Xu asked: "..."

She pulled her hand back and patted him lightly, "You came back without telling me. You scared me to death."

The most annoying thing was that she clearly felt that her sleep quality was particularly poor. She did not sleep well because of the noise of firecrackers. She was in a state of half awake and half asleep the whole time, but she had no idea when Lu Yuanzheng would come back.

Fortunately, this is a long journey. If...

It’s terrifying when you think about it!

Lu Yuanzheng grabbed her arm and pulled her back into the quilt, tucking her into his arms. "It's not that you sleep so deeply, it's that I'm afraid of disturbing your gentle movements."

If he didn't want others to notice, let alone Xu Wen, even a special forces soldier with nimble hands and keen senses would have difficulty noticing.

Xu Wen breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed her body, and let him hold her in his arms. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"

"I told you that the telegram won't arrive as fast as mine."

Xu asked: "..."

She got to the point: "How did you get back?"

"I took a plane to the provincial capital, and then took a bus from the provincial capital to the city."

"And then?" The city is still sixty-seven miles away from home!

Lu Yuanzheng stopped talking, held her hands and pulled them over his head, "It's New Year's Day, why are you asking these questions? Why don't we do something else?"

Xu Wen tilted his head back, his breathing a little unsteady, "Did you walk back here?"

Question sentence, declarative tone.

Lu Yuanzheng had no choice but to nod, "Yes, I missed the last bus to the commune when I got to the city."

I can only walk back.

"Fortunately, I managed to say Happy New Year to you!"

Xu Wen closed his eyes, and in the moment before pleasure dominated his consciousness, he thought to himself: So, that Happy New Year was not a dream!

He really accompanied her back to celebrate the New Year.

After the work was done, Xu Wen rested his head on Lu Yuanzheng's arm, looking at his haggard face, feeling a little distressed: "Try to buy a car next year!"

Lu Yuanzheng hummed, "Wife, have you figured out your mobile phone?"

Xu Wen hummed and sat up, but his movement was a little too big and his waist was sore. He grimaced in pain.

Lu Yuanzheng squeezed her waist twice with his big palm and said, "Slow down."

Xu Wen pulled out the two mobile phones from the bedside and gave one to Lu Yuanzheng.

"It's not perfect yet, and there may still be some bugs, but it can at least make calls. With this, we can keep in touch wherever you go."

Lu Yuanzheng took the phone and weighed it in his hand. "It's quite heavy."

Xu asked: "..."

Everyone thinks it's too heavy.

How ungrateful! None of you have ever experienced the era of mobile phones.

Xu Wen reported the two people's numbers again, "My number ends with 13, and yours is 14."

Lu Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows, "Why is the phone number so long?"

"This is called a mobile phone number, and it's this long." Xu Wen remembered that it was 11 digits, so he asked the R&D team to set it to 11 digits.

Lu Yuanzheng nodded and asked, "What does 1314 mean?"

"For a lifetime."

"This phone number is good." Lu Yuanzheng praised and poked the screen. "It can even tell the time?"

"This is just the beginning! Mobile phones in the future will be very powerful! Don't worry, you will be exposed to them in your lifetime."

Now that they were together, Lu Yuanzheng was not that interested in his phone anymore. He called Xu Wen to get up and said, "It's almost six o'clock. We have to go to Taoyuan Village."

Six o'clock on New Year's Day is roughly equivalent to old age.

In previous years, people would celebrate the New Year at this time.

While getting dressed, Xu Wen complained to Lu Yuanzheng: "It's all your fault!"

Lu Yuanzheng smiled and nodded. He had made enough money anyway, so a few scoldings wouldn't hurt.

Of course, they were not scolded when the two arrived at Xu's house.

When everyone saw Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen appear together, they knew what was going on.

Zhu Meizhen went to get another pair of chopsticks and asked them to sit down. "I saw that Wenwen hadn't come yet, so I wanted to ask your second brother to call him. Xiaozheng, when did you come back?"

"Just arrived a moment ago."

Xu Wen secretly rolled his eyes and looked at the man who was lying.

Xu Wen took out a few red envelopes and divided them among the children.

There are some in early summer, but they only contain a few coins.

She knows money and will tear it up if you give it to her. Giving a red envelope is just for celebration.

When Xiao Xia first saw that her brother and uncle all had red envelopes, she also smiled foolishly while holding her own red envelope.

After eating dumplings, it is customary to pay New Year’s greetings.

Whether Xu Wen is willing or not, he has to go to Uncle Lu Yuanzheng's place.

This Spring Festival is somewhat special for the people of Wei Zhuang Commune.

Because the era of the big pot is coming to an end, the land is being subcontracted to each household again.

People's faces are more joyful than usual during the Chinese New Year.

Xu Wen only rested for one day on the first day of the Lunar New Year. On the second day, he started to compile a list of people who were going to work on the island.

This time we were facing the entire Wei Zhuang Commune. After layers of selection, we chose a total of one hundred people.

Zhu Meizhen was amazed. "Let me ask you, how many people do you have?"

"Yes, in addition to the urine-proof factory, I also plan to open a winery this year."

Xu Wen heard this and asked her, "Your urine-proof factory is a military business, so you don't have to worry about it. Will you still give your winery to the government?"

Xu Wen shook his head. "I won't give it to you for now. Seven workers are more than enough. We probably won't need that many."

Xu Wen may not remember many of the major events in 1982, but there is one thing that he remembers particularly clearly.

In many novels and TV dramas, when it comes to red wine, the first thing that comes to mind is 1982 Lafite.

This year happens to be 1982.

The 1982 Lafite may not be brewed in 1982, but it is usually 80% from that year.

It is said that this is a very special year. Due to climatic reasons, wine-producing countries harvested a batch of grapes of very good quality.

The wine made from the grapes this year is very special because of the right time, place and people.

Of course, there is also the speculation of capitalists, which has doubled the price of Lafite.

In the early 20th century, it cost 10,000 yuan per bottle, and by the end it cost 100,000 yuan per bottle.

This year happens to be the 1982nd year, and newly brewed wine is not worth much. All you have to do is stock up a few and wait for it to appreciate in value.

Although the Xu family didn't understand why Xu Wen wanted to open a winery even though he didn't drink, they didn't ask anyone.

After all, Xu Wen has never made any mistakes so far.

Zhu Meizhen sighed, "It would be better if you opened your factory right outside your home. You brought people so far away, and you not only have to pay them but also ensure their safety. You have to take on a lot of responsibility."

Xu Wen hummed, "I know. There's nothing we can do about it."

Lu Yuanzheng also spoke up, "Mom, don't worry too much. The island is under military management, so safety is generally not a problem. Besides, isn't Dad the village chief? He can help look after things a bit."

Zhu Meizhen curled her lips, "Don't set your sights on your dad. Your dad said he wanted to stay at home. He wants the family's population and land."

It was not surprising that Xu Wen knew this in advance.

But Lu Yuanzheng had just returned and had just heard about it, so he looked at Xu Qiushi in surprise.

Xu Qiushi straightened his neck and said, "Who said I won't go? Stop talking nonsense."

Zhu Meizhen: “…”

Xu asked: "..."

Mr. and Mrs. Xu Wen: "..."

Okay, I changed my mind again.

Zhu Meizhen rudely squeezed him: "I don't know who said a few days ago that I will stay in my hometown and not go anywhere else this year!"

Xu Qiushi said nothing.

Xu Wen reminded Xu Qiushi: "Dad, you have to think about this carefully. If you really decide to go to the island, you have to move your household registration."

Xu Qiushi was annoyed. "Why? You didn't tell me before that I had to change my residence."

Xu Wen sighed, "Before, we didn't need to transfer our household registration because we ate from the same pot. In the production team, food and money are distributed according to work points. My whole family is not here, so at most we don't earn work points and don't get food. In the future, land can be distributed according to the number of people. Since we are registered here, we have our own land. This is a rule, and you can't give it up tomorrow just because you want it today.

If we were given some land, wouldn't it be a waste if you didn't farm it at home?"

"Can't we let someone else do the planting for us?" Zhu Meizhen frowned. If she had to relocate her household registration, she would feel very uncomfortable. It would be like someone had pulled out her roots, and she would feel empty inside.

"But even if we give them the land for free, what about the project levy? You've all heard the captain say that when we harvest the land in autumn, the good grains must be handed over to the public, and the projects such as dredging ditches in autumn and winter are divided according to the number of people. What do you think we should do? We are all working together, and the people who grow our land can't split up, right?"

Zhu Meizhen glanced at Xu Qiushi and said, "Hey, this time you have to choose one of the two."

Xu Wen also looked at Xu Qiushi, and it was not really impossible.

Money makes the world go round. Even if their family doesn't come back to farm, the public grain and the levy can be converted into money.

It’s just that every era has its own trends. In any case, in the next 20 years, non-agricultural households will still be treated better.

By the 21st century, resources gradually shifted towards agricultural households.

Xu Qiushi is already sixty years old, so it would be easier for him to have a non-agricultural household registration.

Xu Wen wanted to move his family's household registration to Pengcheng. Rainbow Island is still under development and the relevant administrative departments have not been established yet. It is estimated that it will take several years before they can settle down.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qiushi did not hesitate too much this time and simply said, "Move!"

Zhu Meizhen, on the other hand, was a little reluctant to give it up. "Have you thought it through? You can't just move this household registration around. It will be hard to move it back once you move it out."

Xu Qiushi raised his eyes and glanced around the house. "We are the only ones left here. Our children are all out. When we die, will they be able to come back often? Farming doesn't matter where we are. How many years can we live?"

Xu Wang knocked on the table, "Pooh, pooh, pooh! Dad, you shouldn't talk like that on New Year's Day!"

"Well, let's talk about something else, like where we should buy a house?" Xu Wen suggested.

Sang Xiaoqing wondered, "Do we still need to talk about this? We are all in Pengcheng, so of course we are in Pengcheng!"

"Pengcheng is so big, we have to choose a place, right? And I've inquired about it. Since the houses in the first community have been built, many houses are ready to be built. If you have money, you can buy a house. But after comparing three houses, you still have to choose one, right?" Xu Wen said.

"I want to buy one, too. Let's buy a community!" Xu Wang nodded in agreement, and asked Xu Wen casually, "Which community do you think is slightly better? Let's buy one, shall we?"

Zhu Meizhen disagreed, "You two are exaggerating if you want to buy it. Why are you asking me to buy a house? Isn't your brother's shop hers? What else is there to buy? Besides, she lives in a compound on the island and doesn't need to buy a house."

Xu Wen shook his head, "I want to buy it."

Just kidding, what could be safer than investing in real estate nowadays?

Of course, Xu Wen couldn't say that. "Although Lu Yuanzheng can work until retirement, what if he is transferred to a new unit in the future? We have to move with him and have our own house to feel at ease. Besides, what if he changes his job one day? Life is so long, we have to leave some way out."

The Xu family thought the same.

As for the long expedition, of course he had no objection. His job was very mobile, but the scope of mobility was relatively small. He was always in the army.

It was stable, and he would always get a house when it was allocated. But every time he was transferred, Xu Wen and the two children had to move with him.

After buying a house, it is yours.

So the Xu family reached a consensus on buying a house, and the new question was whether to buy a building.

"Wouldn't it be nice if we lived next door to each other or upstairs and downstairs neighbors? If there's any problem, we can just talk to each other," Xu Wen suggested.

"No!" Xu Wang shook his head. "It's okay for us to buy a residential complex, but we can't live on the same floor or across from each other. There's an old saying that things smell good when they're far away, but smell bad when they're close. If we buy a residential complex, it's like living in a village. If we want to have a meal together, we can get together. If we don't want to get together, we can just ignore each other.

I think it’s not a good idea to buy a house opposite or on the floor above or below you. If your brother-in-law and I occasionally have a quarrel or you two occasionally have an argument, we can hear it even though we are so close. Are you pretending to be deaf and dumb or taking sides?

There is no overnight hatred between husband and wife. No matter it is us or you, we will make up after a quarrel, but we will still hold grudges and take sides.

If the time is short, it won’t be obvious, but if the time is long, there will be contradictions.”

Xu Meizhen nodded and said to Xu Wen: "Your sister is right."

Xu Wen was dissatisfied and pointed at Xu and asked, "Why do you only use us two as an example out of the three of us? Why don't you mention her?"

Xu asked: "..."

Xu Wang rolled his eyes, "Have you ever seen them quarrel?"

Xu Wen: “…”

no.

"Besides, the house she bought is just for decoration, just like a guesthouse. She only stays here when she comes to Pengcheng occasionally. It's fine even if she lives across the street from her."

Xu Wen: “…”

I always feel like I'm being targeted, even though there's no evidence.

After the meal, the matter of buying a house was settled.

The housing prices in Pengcheng are not low in this era.

For example, in the first commercial housing community, the price per square meter is about 800 yuan, and a house of 50 to 60 square meters costs about 50,000 yuan.

This was a sky-high price in the 1980s when households worth 10,000 yuan were still rare.

It’s just that the majority of people in that community are from Hong Kong, so the housing prices here are half as much as there.

But I heard that there are two communities built by domestic developers, so they should be cheaper.

It doesn’t matter if it’s not cheap. Xu Wang and Xu Wen have good business, and after being persuaded by Xu Wen, they have accepted such an advanced idea as buying a house with a loan.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the Xu family set out with a group of 100 workers from Wei Zhuang.

Because there were so many people, Xu Wen was particularly generous and bought tickets for an entire carriage with empty seats, so everyone could take turns to rest.

Rushing from winter to spring, from the north to the islands, just like the migration of wild geese, once a year.

Guo Jianye had already been waiting on Rainbow Island, and he worked with Xu Wen to settle the new workers.

Half of the workers who came last year also came this year, and Xu Wen arranged for them to be team leaders or foremen.

In this way, Xu Wen assigns work to the foreman, the foreman assigns work to the team leader, and the team leader then arranges it further.

Xu Wen no longer had to do everything himself, which made things much easier.

It is also because Guo Jianye knows nothing. After a while, when Guo Jianye can take charge of things on his own, Xu Wen will be able to be the hands-off manager again.

As soon as he heard that Xu Wen had come to the island, Luo Zemin came to find Xu Wen to give her dividends.

Dividends are distributed at the end of every year. Xu Wen was in Beijing at the end of last year.

"I added a little to make it a lucky number for you."

Xu Wen counted them in person and sighed, thinking it was indeed auspicious.

Sixty-six thousand six hundred and sixty-six.

"Your business is getting better and better!"

Luo Zemin made a lot of profit this year. He gave the bulk of it to the army, and after taking out 20%, he could still give Xu Wen more than 60,000?!

Luo Zemin rolled his eyes. "Originally there could have been more. Isn't it thanks to you that most of it was donated to the island?!"

Xu Wen touched the tip of his nose feeling a little guilty.

"Thanks to this brother, you can get so much money." Luo Zemin pointed at Guo Jianye.

Guo Jianye, a man who was diagnosed with lifelong paralysis, can now walk around happily. In addition to Li Daoming's superb medical skills, the biggest contributor is the 3D printed bones.

This incident not only made domestic news but also international news, causing quite a stir in the medical community.

Therefore, their 3D printer has become famous all over the world this time, and they have received a lot of orders from all over the world.

That’s why we get these dividends.

Xu Wen thought that his own diaper factory's orders were also scheduled for the second half of the year, and that with the addition of workers this year, the progress might be a little faster.

Xu Wen was busy on a long journey, so naturally he would not be idle.

However, he will be a little freer than in previous years because the officers and soldiers on Rainbow Island have stopped rotating duty since last year.

In the past, we would go ashore once a year and go to the island once a year.

Now the soldiers on land want to come to Rainbow Island, but most of the officers and soldiers on Rainbow Island are unwilling to exchange with them.

In the past, it was like being trapped on an isolated island, and people felt very uncomfortable both mentally and physically.

Now there are many transport ships, which makes it very convenient to go to surrounding cities.

Mrs. Li's grocery store has expanded into a supermarket, which can basically provide daily necessities. In addition, Mrs. Li also opened a small restaurant.

If three good friends want to have a drink together on the weekend, this place can satisfy that need.

Those who are more diligent can also work in Luo Zemin’s printing factory or Xu Wen’s factory.

In order to make it more convenient for officers and soldiers to work, Xu Wen and Luo Zemin discussed and set up part-time workers.

You will be paid for every hour you work.

The sisters-in-law now earn as much as the soldiers in a month.

The sisters-in-law's handicraft business is getting better and better. Since Xu Wen's late pregnancy, Dou Dou's mother and second uncle have been running this business in partnership, and both of them have made a lot of money.

The other sisters-in-law are similar. Those who are taking care of their children and have no time to go to the factory do handicrafts, and those who don’t have any skills go to work for Xu Wen and Luo Zemin.

Luo Zemin's printing factory adopts the management system of foreign enterprises. Xu Wen is paid on a piece-rate basis, but other benefits, such as full attendance bonuses and holiday benefits, are all based on the workers in state-owned factories.

Therefore, as long as the sisters-in-law are not lazy, their monthly salary is no less than that of ordinary officers and soldiers, and they don’t have to delay cooking for the children.

The island is safe, with few vehicles, and even kindergarten children do not need to be picked up, so everyone has time.

So the officers and soldiers of Rainbow Island naturally did not want to leave again.

If they don't leave, the officers and soldiers on land will not be able to come up.

The purpose of switching defenses is to allow everyone to take a rest. If those who need a rest are unwilling to switch, then there is no need to force it.

Actually, if you count the time, Lu Yuanzheng is still on vacation, but because Xu Wen had to come back to be busy, he ended his vacation too, thinking that they could take the rest of the vacation together when Xu Wen was free.

The Yangtze set out again during the Luyuan Expedition holiday.

Such a large ship would not stay on the shore just because there is no longer a long journey.

After the New Year, the work on the island, in addition to daily training, began to gradually establish relevant administrative departments and some units to protect people's livelihood.

This part is under the jurisdiction of the Guiluyuanzheng Village, but they still have to liaise with relevant local departments, such as the power company that collects electricity bills and the administrative unit at the next higher level above the village.

Compared to Xu Wenlu Yuanzheng, he is relatively less busy and is the one who spends most of his time taking care of the two children.

Because Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen are also very busy.

The private plots that other sisters-in-law had tidied up before are now farmland.

Especially now that there are few people and much arable land on the island, each family can be allocated several acres of land.

During the month they have been back home, some of the crops they have been planting need to be taken care of, while others that have not yet been planted need the land leveled in preparation for sowing.

Zhu Meizhen is busy with this part of the work.

Xu Qiushi was busy with other things.

A new official starts with three things.

He bought an ox and not only plowed his own land, he also helped his villagers to plow the land.

The number of villagers in Xinri Village increases year by year.

There were only 25 households at the beginning of last year, but now there are more than 60 households, including more than 30 newly retired soldiers.

In contrast, the labor in Crescent Village is more primitive, everything is manual labor, and their national customs are strictly observed.

At present, its efficiency is far inferior to Xinri Village.

Another difference between the two villages is that when the villagers of Xinri Village are not working, they will go to work in Xu Wen and Luo Zemin's factories to earn some pocket money.

When the villagers of Xinyue Village are not working, they go to the sea to catch fish and sell them.

At first they didn’t know where to sell the fish, so they mostly dried them and stored them as food for the winter.

It was Xu Wen who taught them that they could exchange the fish caught in the sea for money.

However, you can take one of the many passenger ships to nearby cities to sell fresh seafood, or you can make various seafood products to sell.

For example, shrimp sauce, dried fish, etc.

Because of Xu Wen, the income of the villagers in Xinyue Village increased significantly, and everyone is very grateful to Xu Wen.

Xu Wen was also very grateful to them. They often took the boat, so Xu Wen's transportation business naturally flourished as well. It was a mutually beneficial relationship for everyone.

Xu Wen has basically recovered the money he spent on purchasing the ship, and should be able to make a profit this year.

The boat is usually left to Doudou's mother to take care of, and Xu Wen will give her a share of the profits.

After the initial busy period was over and everything was on track, Xu Wen gradually felt empty.

All her business ideas come from her "foresight" ability. She has a broad view of the economic situation in the next few years and naturally knows which business to enter without losing money.

But, I am only responsible for coming up with ideas.

It was a bit difficult for Xu Wen to build a business from scratch from the beginning to the end.

Not everyone is suited to business.

At least she couldn't ask Xu Wen to expand her business by flying around all day like she did to promote Urine Free.

Even if it wasn't for the sake of enjoying life, she wouldn't really like it.

So far, except for the diaper factory, every business Xu Wen has done is either as a partnership or as a shareholder. In any case, he is definitely not responsible for the main operations.

She built the diaper factory herself, but the largest shareholder is Lu Yuanzheng's unit. This was an advance preparation for the financial independence of the unit.

Xu Wen's previous plan was that she would be in charge for four years and then hand over everything to Lu Yuanzheng and his team, and she would only be a shareholder who received dividends.

However, the unexpected event of Guo Jianye was added to the plan, so Xu Wen didn't even need four years.

Guo Jianye's intelligence is not only evident in surfing, but also in business, and he can learn it very quickly.

If he is willing to do business, he will definitely become a big boss in some industry in the future.

But he insisted on following Xu Wengan.

Xu Wen hired him as a professional manager and gave him shares.

However, there was no such thing as shares in 1983, so in addition to paying him a salary, Xu Wen also said that he would give him dividends at the end of the year.

With the help of Guo Jianye, by early April, Xu Wen was almost able to take charge of the business again.

Xiao Xiachu will be two weeks old soon.

Winter students will also start primary school in autumn.

Taking advantage of the remaining part of the Luyuanzheng vacation, the family of four decided to go traveling again.

Of course, there was no such thing as tourism in 1982, so we could only go out to relax.

Xu Wendu is not ready to relax yet, he has to go to the capital.

After repeated research, the research institute decided to give the communication rights to local governments and cooperate with each other on the mobile phone issue.

Military factories produce mobile phones and provide communication technology to local communications, and the local governments build communication facilities for the two sides to cooperate.

That is to say, mobile phones are sold to the outside world after they start to be mass-produced.

Since the construction of nationwide communication facilities, such as optical cables and base stations, is very expensive, mobile phones are unaffordable for most people.

Xu Wen finally understood why a mobile phone cost 20,000 yuan in the early 1990s.

I spent over 10,000 yuan on a mobile phone, and there was still several thousand yuan left for the internet access fee.

Of course, as a technical consultant and the person who initially provided the ideas and a large part of the technical theories, Xu Wen not only gets to use the mobile phone for free, but also gets dividends when the military factory makes a profit.

There are many questions about the signatures of relevant patents, which is basically equivalent to collecting money by putting someone else’s name on the patent.

If other things are not considered, Xu Wen can basically achieve financial freedom to a certain extent.

Unfortunately, sometimes people can’t salt fish just because they want to. The people and things around you will often force you to be inward-looking.

So Xu Wen still can't lie down. As a consultant, he still has to ask from time to time.

After all, the application of mobile phones and wireless communications has skipped the 1G era.

It was the era of mobile phones, and the communication methods of mobile phones were different.

To use a child's analogy, it is like skipping the crawling stage and starting directly walking.

Although they can walk, children who can crawl will inevitably fall more often.

New parents tend to make a big deal out of their children falling, and may even have to seek medical attention for just a skin break.

And Xu Wen is the only pediatrician whose professional level is mediocre.

From time to time, the research institute would call to consult and ask questions.

After using it for a period of time, some flaws in satellite calls became more and more obvious. Xu Wen thought about going to Beijing to find the R&D team to improve the bugs.

However, they did not separate from Lu Yuanzheng for the time being, and they were not in a hurry. The family of three walked and played as they went, and it took them more than a month to reach the capital.

Just in time to celebrate Xia Chu’s birthday.

This year, without the relatives and friends, and those enthusiastic "friends" on the island, our family of four finally had a quiet time to celebrate Xiao Xiachu's birthday.

I found a private restaurant and bought a Snow White cream cake for Xiao Xiachu.

This cake is still a rare thing and quite expensive.

But considering Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen's financial situation, it's really just a piece of cake.

In addition, I took the two children to the playground.

In the 1980s, the entertainment options at amusement parks were very limited, but they were enough to keep the children happy.

Especially Xiao Xiachu, a typical "newbie with a big addiction", who likes everything exciting, but doesn't even know how to play it.

In a family of four, one person has to take care of one baby.

Although Dongsheng didn't need to be held or coaxed, he was six or seven years old, just at the age when people hated him, so the fun was much more exciting than Xia Chu's. Anyway, Xu Wen didn't dare to accompany him, so he could only change his route and take Dongsheng on the expedition.

Who would have thought that the two-year-old baby was as fearless as a newborn calf and had no idea of ​​fear at all. After coming down from the height, Xu Wen's face turned pale and he kept vomiting. Xia Chu was still clapping his hands and shouting, "Mom, go... go!" and strongly demanded that they do it again.

Xu Wen didn't want to come again at all. He put Xiao Xiachu on the edge of the flower bed and squatted beside it, vomiting heartbreakingly.

Lu Yuanzheng saw them and brought Dongsheng over as soon as the game they were playing was over. He opened the water bottle he brought with him and put it aside. He patted Xu Wen on the back and asked, "Why are you vomiting so hard? Are you afraid of heights?"

Xu Wen vomited again, picked up the water bottle and took a few gulps, only then was he able to suppress the churning in his stomach.

"I don't know. I've brought Dongsheng here to play before, but it wasn't like this!"

Although I was afraid before, I didn’t react so strongly.

Lu Yuanzheng looked thoughtful.

Just then Xu Wen's cell phone rang. Lu Yuanzheng was about to speak when he frowned and shut up.

The person who called was Minister Song, who asked where Xu Wen was and whether she was busy. If she was not busy, could she come to Beijing to meet him? He would be responsible for arranging the flight.

Xu Wen glanced at Lu Yuanzheng and said, "I'm in the capital!"

"That's great! Are you free tonight? I'll treat you and we can have dinner together."

"Forget about eating. I have something to do at home tonight. How about you tell me first?"

Minister Song was obviously disappointed. "Can't you spare the time? This is quite important. I hope you can arrange a meeting."

Xu Wen looked at Lu Yuanzheng, and Lu Yuanzheng nodded.

She said, "If it's convenient for you now, can we meet now? But I have to bring my family with me. My husband and children are with me."

"Okay! Where are you? I'll send a car to pick you up." Minister Song responded readily.

Lu Yuanzheng sighed: "I never thought that in my lifetime, I would ride in a military vehicle as a family member!"

Xu asked: "..."

Xu Wen laughed so hard that she couldn't stop. To be honest, she hadn't expected this.

Lu Yuanzheng and Minister Song can be considered comrades-in-arms in a very similar way.

However, Minister Song did not have time to reminisce with Xu Wen, so he called two soldiers over to help take care of Dongsheng and Xiachu, and made room for them to discuss matters.

I originally wanted to ask Lu Yuanzheng to leave, but after knowing his occupation, I kept him.

Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng saw that there was something important to discuss, and they suddenly looked at each other and sat up straight.

To be precise, it was Xu Wen who started to sit upright, while Lu Yuanzheng, due to professional reasons and in an office like this, sat upright out of habit.

"Minister Song, is there something urgent?" Xu Wen asked. This situation made her a little nervous.

"Well, it's a good thing. The top leader of Country W is visiting our country recently. The issue of mobile phones has also been making a lot of noise in the world recently... Alas! To put it simply, the foreigner wants to know about mobile phones. Logically, our institute should send someone to receive him. But mobile phones are a new thing, and some very professional things may not be explained clearly after translation. I heard from Huang... the one you call Grandpa, he said you are very good at foreign languages ​​and understand mobile phones, so he wants you to be in charge of the reception."

"From where to where?" Xu asked.

"From here to the capital." Minister Song pointed to two cities on the map.

"When will they arrive?"

"The day after tomorrow. But you will need to take a plane there early tomorrow morning and pick him up the day after tomorrow."

Xu Wen nodded and pointed to Lu Yuanzheng, "Can he go?"

It’s not that Xu Wen can’t leave Lu Yuanzheng, it’s mainly because she has never seen such a big shot in her two lifetimes. She is afraid, and she feels at ease with Lu Yuanzheng by her side.

In principle, it is not allowed. Minister Song hesitated and said, "I'll apply and see."

After all, Lu Yuanzheng's profession is special.

In the evening, the family of four was in the guesthouse when they received a call from Minister Song, who called Lu Yuanzheng away.

Xu Wen was very nervous. After putting the two children to sleep, she waited for him to come back.

It wasn’t too late when we returned from the long journey, just after ten o’clock.

"What did Minister Song ask you to do?"

"Nothing, just say the application has been approved and let me go with you tomorrow."

Xu Wen breathed a sigh of relief, jumped up from the bed and jumped onto Lu Yuanzheng, "Great!"

Lu Yuanzheng was caught off guard and his body tensed for a moment, then he reached out and hugged Xu Wen who was hanging on him.

Xu Wen patted his shoulder and signaled Lu Yuanzheng to let her down.

"Take off your clothes." Xu Wen asked.

Lu Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows. "Are you in such a hurry? You have to let me take a shower first, okay?"

Xu Wen didn't laugh, but repeated, "I told you to take off your clothes."

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Lu Yuanzheng knew that he couldn't hide it, so he sighed and unbuttoned his shirt.

There's something horrible about his body.

Some are blue and some are purple.

"Who did you fight with?" Xu Wen frowned. He had just jumped on Lu Yuanzheng and felt that something was wrong with his body.

It was as if he was touched where it hurt, but he was trying hard not to show any emotion.

The two people were too familiar with each other's bodies, and such an abnormal reaction could not be called close contact.

"It's not a fight, it's an exchange of ideas." Minister Song's original words.

"Get to the point." Xu Wen poked his bruises twice with a bad look on his face.

Lu Yuanzheng groaned and had to tell the truth: "How can I meet a person like that just by saying so? It's already a special case for you to go. But with your Mr. Huang's mediation, I found an opportunity. There is a guard team in the reception team. I'm going to compete with them. If I win, I can go with you instead of them."

The members of this guard team are equivalent to the fierce bodyguards in the movies, and each of them is very skilled.

Even if the journey is long, they cannot come away unscathed if they want to win.

It’s just that their actual combat experience was far inferior to Lu Yuanzheng’s, which gave Lu Yuanzheng the chance to win.

It was also a narrow win.

Xu Wen called the front desk and asked for a medicine box. He frowned with distress. "I just said it casually. If you can't go, then don't go. What's the big deal? It's not worth your life."

"I'm worried about you. When a big shot like this travels, everything may seem calm on the surface, but I'm afraid there may be trouble behind the scenes."

Xu Wen didn't expect that Lu Yuanzheng's words would come true.

Dongsheng and Xiachu almost became orphans.
