Chapter 197

"Dad is back!"

Hearing the noise, Xia Chu turned around to check, and saw Lu Yuanzheng coming in. He put down the toys in his hand and walked towards him.

Xu Qi looked up at Lu Yuanzheng's expression, hesitated for a second, turned off the TV, went back to his room and closed the door.

The ignorant Sasa Youyou also rushed to run to Lu Yuanzheng's side.

Lu Yuanzheng took off his hat and hung it on the hook. He took off his coat and changed his shoes at the same time.

Xia Chu came over and opened his arms, waiting for a hug.

Usually, dad always hugs her first when he gets home.

But this time Lu Yuanzheng ignored Xia Chu and walked past her.

Xia Chu wanted to cry as soon as her mouth squinted, but she saw that Sasao Youyou was treated worse than herself.

At least Lu Yuanzheng just pretended not to see her, and Sasa Youyou was "thrown" aside by Lu Yuanzheng by the collar.

Xia Chu instantly felt much more balanced mentally.

Although Sasa Youyou didn't feel any pain, he was very sad to be treated like this by his own father. He sat on the ground face to face and started crying.

Xia Chu rolled her eyes and ran to the kitchen, complaining, "Mom, Dad hit my brother!"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

Pinching my eyebrows made my headache worse.

How come the little cotton-padded jacket is leaking everywhere? !

Sasa Yuyu cooperated perfectly and cried even louder.

Dongsheng, who was anxiously doing his homework, let out a long sigh. Fortunately, he noticed that Lu Yuanzheng's expression was not right, so he ran away quickly!

Xu Wen in the kitchen had just finished preparing the last dish. Hearing the chaos coming from the living room, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Xu Wen didn't believe that Lu Yuanzheng beat the child for no reason, and her precious daughter had been particularly fond of complaining recently.

"Why did you hit your brother?" Xu Wen cleaned the stove while perfunctorily asking Xia Chu who was standing at the door.

"I don't know! Dad not only beat my younger brother, but also me! He scared my older brother so much that he ran into the room!" Xia Chu was particularly righteous.

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

Xu Wen cleaned up the pots and bowls neatly, and walked out with the last plate of food, complaining to Xia Chu: "Make way, you're blocking the way!"

"You have to say, little princess, please move aside!"

"Little princess, please move aside!" Xu Wen had no choice but to cooperate. If the stalemate lasted too long, she would be the one who got burned.

Xia Chu opened the kitchen door, and Xu Wen came out with the dishes, not forgetting to squeeze her and scold her: "Your father loves you for nothing! You complain about him every day!"

"Who told him not to hug me today!" Xiao Xiachu puffed up her cheeks and snorted loudly when she passed by Lu Yuanzheng, indicating that this princess was very angry and needed to be hugged and coaxed.

In order to give Lu Yuanzheng time to react, she stopped for two minutes when passing by Lu Yuanzheng.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanzheng turned a blind eye to it.

Xiao Xiachu was about to throw a tantrum, but Xu Wen glanced at her indifferently. She immediately put away her arrogance and obediently climbed onto her pink stool and sat at the dining table.

"Go wash your hands first!" Xu Wen said this not only to Xia Chu, but also to the other two children, one adult and three children.

Lu Yuanzheng obediently stood up and carried the twins to the bathroom.

Only Xiao Xiachu reluctantly climbed down from the stool she had just climbed up, muttering as she climbed: "Why do women have to make things difficult for other women?"

Xu Wen couldn't help laughing. He shook his head and chuckled while setting up the dishes.

There are four men and two women in the family.

Xu Wen is the one standing at the top of the food chain.

Once when Xia Chu was just old enough to understand things, he tried to challenge Xu Wen's authority.

Not only was Xia Chu born in the 19th century, she was not afraid of tigers. Mainly, she was the only little girl in the family, so naturally everyone doted on her.

Especially since her "lover" from her previous life was away on a expedition, it was obvious that she was biased towards him.

Xiao Xiachu was even spoiled to the point of being lawless, and she took advantage of her pampering to challenge Xu Wen.

However, the end result was that he was spanked by Xu Wen.

At that time, Xiao Xia Chu was too young and ignorant. She didn't know that people's hearts could change, so she cried and made a fuss, waiting for Lu Yuanzheng to punish Xu Wen.

However, Lu Yuanzheng didn't say a word of betrayal, nor did he beg for love from her. Not only that, he even humbled himself and tried to comfort the angry Xu Wen.

Xiao Xia was so shocked that she forgot to cry for a moment. By the time she reacted, she had missed the best opportunity to complain.

Not only did Lu Yuanzheng not help her, but even Brother Dongsheng stayed away from her.

After this incident, Xiao Xiachu understood that although she was the princess of the family, Xu Wen was the queen.

So no matter how unhappy Xiao Xiachu was, she could only run to the bathroom and queue up to wash her hands like a chatterbox.

During the meal, the table, which was usually bustling and noisy, was rarely so quiet.

Dongsheng buried his head in his meal. After quickly finishing his meal, he stood up, said to Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to do my homework first!" and ran away.

Usually, he would help feed the twins or help Xu Wen wash the dishes.

Xiao Xiachu rolled his eyes, swallowed the rice in his mouth, and patted his belly: "Mom and Dad, I'm full too. I'm going to go play with Qingqing."

After saying that, he slipped down from the dining chair, opened the door and ran away.

Xu Wen only had time to say one sentence: "Be careful when you go downstairs!"

It's safe in the compound.

Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng usually don't pay much attention to them.

The twins, who are only two years old, foolishly made the table full of food.

Xu asked Lu Yuanzheng: "Look how scared you are of the children! What happened to make you so sad?"

Lu Yuanzheng glanced at the twins and said, "Why don't you send these two to your parents' house later? I want to go out for a walk with you."

Xu Wen knew that he had something to say and nodded.

After dinner, Lu Yuanzheng sent the child to Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen.

After washing the dishes and cleaning the table, Xu Wen said hello to Dongsheng, asked him to remember to look for his sister later, and then went out.

She also walked towards Xinri Village, thinking of meeting the long expedition.

Compared to when the compound was first built, there are no major differences, except that there are more green plants and some of the people living in the officers' and soldiers' and their families' buildings have been replaced.

Perhaps because the officers and soldiers were diligent, the compound was always kept clean, the trees, flowers and plants were regularly pruned, the houses were repaired on time, and the walls were painted promptly.

Only after leaving the battalion compound can you clearly see the changes in Rainbow Island.

The compound is located on a high ground, and one can see the scenery of most of the island.

A tarmac road winds down past the gate and splits into two when it reaches the bottom. One goes straight down to the beach, the other goes into the center of the island.

Along the way, in addition to parks, schools, and villages, there is also a commercial street and an office building.

The office building is considered to be the town government and related administrative units, and at the very least it fulfills the obligations of the town government and related units.

However, due to its relatively small scale, many departments such as the Civil Affairs Bureau, the Taxation Bureau, the Statistics Bureau, the Electricity Bureau, and all other daily administrative departments are located in this office building.

Each bureau also has an office, generally called a branch office.

There is no way, the number of residents on Rainbow Island is increasing.

When the village was first built, the population of Xinyue Village was three times that of Xinri Village.

Nowadays, the number of villagers in Xinri Village has caught up with that in Xinyue Village.

Most of the villagers in Xinri Village are still veterans, but there are also many immigrants from nearby towns.

The Xu family has basically not returned to Wei Zhuang for the New Year in the past two years, so they are now responsible for picking up and dropping off workers in the village. Those who wish to come are at their own risk.

When there were not enough workers, they were recruited from nearby cities.

Some workers simply settled down on Rainbow Island.

Of course, it is not easy to get a residence permit on Rainbow Island. Singles must work on Rainbow Island for three years, and couples who both work need one year to get a residence permit.

As the number of residents on Rainbow Island increases, various departments are in urgent need of setting up offices.

The commercial street was also created because of demand. The shops on this commercial street can basically meet the daily needs of the residents of Rainbow Island.

There are hotels, supermarkets, clothing stores, stationery stores, grocery stores, and even a small cinema.

However, the scale is not large for now, because Xu Wen only started to plan the commercial street in the spring of last year, and it is still in the development stage.

The commercial street is still a collaboration between Xu Wen and Rainbow Island. Rainbow Island provides the land and Xu Wen provides the capital, and the profit model is to rent out shops.

Xu Wen paid for the materials and printed two rows of two-story buildings symmetrically on a street.

It’s not that Xu Wen is greedy. He has to cooperate with the army in business every time to get a share of the pie. In fact, the dividends from mobile phones, plus real estate investments, are enough for Xu Wen’s family to live a comfortable life over time.

At the very least, this generation of Xu Wen can achieve financial freedom. As for our children, it all depends on luck!

In the past three years, Xu Wen bought five courtyard houses in Beijing, one for her and Lu Yuanzheng, and one for each of her four children. The total cost was only 50,000 yuan. In the future, it will be worth at least 500 million yuan.

She has bought properties not only in Beijing, but also in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and she buys wherever properties are available.

In addition, there are dividends from the diaper factory and the 3D printing factory. In addition, except for the six months when Xu Wen was paralyzed and rehabilitating, Xu Wen has also been expanding his business territory.

Xu Wen studied finance in her previous life. If it weren't for the accident, she should have worked in an investment company. So for Xu Wen, the so-called expansion of business territory means investment.

Stocks were a thing in the early 1990s, and there are no joint-stock companies in China now, so the only way to do business is to form a partnership with others, which is often a simple and crude way of putting up the money and others doing the work.

For example, opening a seafood restaurant in partnership with Lou Shujie.

The night market could no longer satisfy Lou Shujie's needs, and more and more people came to him for dinner.

At the same time, more and more people were doing good business in the night market, and they needed a bigger site, but the small square between the two villages was only that big.

That's why Xu Wen thought of building a commercial street.

But when the commercial street really came into being, the people setting up stalls in the night market became hesitant.

Because I’m afraid of losing money.

Xu Wen encouraged for a long time, but not even half of the shops were rented out.

Xu Wen had no choice but to start attracting investment without attracting capital. In a situation like this, he had to "kill it before it's too late".

In order to support her, Xu Wen and Xu Wang came to Rainbow Island to open a branch and hired workers to run the business here.

As the earliest merchant in the commercial street, Lou Shujie was said to be one of the first to try something new and made a lot of money.

When other people at the night market smelled the atmosphere, they all came to rent shops.

Just like this, the street gradually became lively.

Working with the military is definitely different from working with Lou Shujie.

The reason for cooperating with Lou Shujie is to make a profit and enjoy the convenience of eating. Lou Shujie’s seafood is really amazing.

The reason for cooperating with the military was simply because Xu Wen knew that the military had a limited time to do business.

Ultimately, professional matters should be done by professionals.

Xu Wen thought that when the military withdrew from the business, she would have to take over.

To put it bluntly, she doesn't want to help others.

Although it is likely that we will switch to cooperation with local governments at that time.

The Rainbow Island under construction is becoming more and more lively, but all the problems have not been solved.

In the words of the common people, it is like suppressing one problem only to have another one pop up.

This solved the problem of insufficient stall space, and the civil affairs departments also had offices, but new problems arose.

Just like the officers and soldiers back then, when those people from administrative units arrived, dormitory became a problem.

In 1986, it was still the stage of welfare housing distribution, but where were the extra houses to be distributed on Rainbow Island?

As for those workers who have settled down, they have registered their household registration but no houses.

The residential land can be divided, but how can a working person have the time to build a house?

The dormitories in Xu Wen and Luo Zemin's factories were overcrowded.

Recently, Shi Lei's hair has turned a lot greyer due to the arrangement of dormitories for the staff stationed on Rainbow Island.

In the past, when Shi Lei was on the same level as Lu Yuanzheng, he would act like a rogue and pass the blame to Lu Yuanzheng because he knew Xu Wen could solve those problems that required money.

However, Lu Yuanzheng was promoted, and he could only report it.

There is a division of labor between the Pian and deputy regiment commanders. Lu Yuanzheng is mainly responsible for the training of officers and soldiers on the islands and related coastal defense issues.

Mobile phones have been distributed to each island, and at least every class has one.

Therefore, the islands are more closely connected, and it will no longer happen that the soldiers get lost when the supply ship arrives late.

Xu Wen walked and swept along the way.

At this time, everyone had just finished their meal, and the park was bustling, especially the playground, which was brightly lit and full of laughter.

Someone saw Xu Wen and took the initiative to greet her.

"Excuse me, have you eaten?"

"Why are you alone? Where's Xiao Xiachu?"

“…”

Xu Wen answered all the questions one by one, but stopped to chat with everyone for a few words. Then she looked up and saw Lu Yuanzheng walking towards her.

Xu Wen curled his lower lip.

There is always someone in the world who can make you feel happy from the bottom of your heart no matter how long you have been together, and you will never get tired of him/her.

The others followed Xu Wen's gaze and saw Lu Yuanzheng coming over. They were not surprised and consciously left Xu Wen's side.

The whole island knew that they were inseparable.

Lu Yuanzheng noticed Xu Wen's gaze and quickly walked over to him, "Why are you here?"

"Come to pick you up!"

Lu Yuanzheng curled his lips, took Xu Wen's hand, and walked towards the beach along the path beside the park.

After getting away from the crowd, Xu Wen asked, "You're still in such a bad mood! What happened?"

Lu Yuanzheng sighed: "Everything you said before is about to happen. I received the relevant documents today."

"Hmm?" Xu Wen was stunned for a moment, "Let you be self-sufficient?"

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of reform and opening up, the top leaders decided to allow the troops, which had been short of military pay for years, to engage in business and become self-sufficient.

But Xu Wen has been preparing for this for several years, and it is now taking shape and can fully cope with the income and expenditure of Rainbow Island.

For example, initially both the diaper factory and the 3D printing machine factory were said to be exempt from taxes for three years, but now the time has come and they need to pay taxes.

They all made profits and could distribute dividends. At least Xu Wen had already helped Rainbow Island accumulate some original capital.

Even if the battalion does nothing with these funds, it can support all the officers and soldiers of Rainbow Island.

So, if it is about this matter, I won’t be so depressed even if I have to travel a long distance.

He was so depressed that he couldn't even bother to hug his little princess when he got home for dinner.

Dongsheng was so scared that he returned to his room early, and Lu Yuanzheng even made the twins cry.

Lu Yuanzheng glanced at Xu Wen and spoke with a bit of grievance, "You only told me that we wanted to do business, but you didn't tell me about the disarmament."

Xu asked, "Ah!"

In fact, she didn't pay much attention to it. She roughly knew about the one million disarmament, but it had nothing to do with the island, right?!

It seemed that four military regions were cut, not including the military region where Lu Yuanzheng was located.

"You shouldn't be fired, right? Did I remember it wrong?" Xu Wen was puzzled.

Lu Yuanzheng sighed, "You remembered correctly, we didn't lay off any officers. But the military regions are being merged, so some of our officers will be laid off."

Xu Wen's eyebrows jumped: "Are there people you know who are leaving? Uncle Lian? Uncle Song?"

Lu Yuanzheng looked down at the beach and said, "Let's go."

Xu asked: "..."

No wonder the journey is so sad.

Xu Wen stopped and took the opportunity to take a walk.

Lu Yuanzheng also stopped and looked at Xu Wen in confusion.

Xu Wen stretched out his arms and hugged Lu Yuanzheng's waist, "Don't be sad! I'm still here."

Lu Yuanzheng lowered his head, hugged Xu Wen, and muttered for a long time: "I don't want to be promoted."

Xu Wen suddenly raised his head, "What did you say?"

"I said I don't want a promotion. I just want to fight." Lu Yuanzheng often went out to sea with the ship to clean up the islands that were raging at his doorstep.

Xu Wen had noticed that Lu Yuanzheng had something wrong with his knee, so he took Lu Yuanzheng for a checkup during his paralysis.

At that time, Lu Yuanzheng didn't dare to say no, for fear of making her cry.

Xu Wen only then found out that the strange phone call Lu Yuanzheng made on the boat was because he had injured his knee.

He couldn't move for a few days and thought he was going to become lame, but he didn't dare say anything for fear that Xu Wen would worry.

Later I found out it was meniscus damage.

It's quite serious and needs treatment.

Lu Yuanzheng was afraid that Xu Wen would worry, so he refused to have the operation.

After learning the result from Li Daoming, Xu Wen forced Lu Yuanzheng to undergo the operation, under the pretext that the couple should share the hardship.

In fact, meniscus damage is difficult to treat and requires reconstruction after surgery.

As Xu Wen said, the two people really were birds of the same forest for a period of time. Xu Wen used two crutches, while Lu Yuanzheng used one.

Since then, Lu Yuanzheng seldom boarded the ship again and basically stayed on the island to handle daily affairs.

But Xu Wen knew that Lu Yuanzheng did not go out to sea not only because of his knee injury but also because he wanted to take care of his family.

There were already four children at home, and he was worried that Xu Wen, who had just recovered, could take care of four children by himself, even with the help of his parents.

This time Xu Wen did not persuade him. It was not because he did not know Lu Yuanzheng's thoughts, but because Lu Yuanzheng was already over 30 years old.

He has been a soldier since he was a teenager, and his body covered with scars and a box of military medals are enough to show how much he has contributed to defending his country.

The scars on his body do not affect his life. What really affects his life are some invisible sequelae.

For example, his knees and waist would hurt so much on rainy days that he couldn't stand up.

His vision was occasionally blurry.

There are many other miscellaneous problems.

It's not fatal, but it will cause him a lot of pain.

It would have been nice to live such an ordinary life, but who would have thought that the million-dollar military reduction would result in the layoff of his two leaders.

To him, those two leaders were both teachers and fathers.

Despite this situation, he was promoted.

No wonder he is unhappy.

"Promoted to team leader?" Xu Wen guessed.

Lu Yuanzheng hummed, straightened up, looked down at Xu Wen, and said apologetically: "I have another bad news to tell you. I have to go to the Central Island for work, which means we have to move!"

Xu asked: "..."

Xu Wen, whose defense was broken by Lu Yuanzheng's words, was also unhappy.

I was so unhappy that I couldn't comfort Lu Yuanzheng.

So the couple went to the commercial street together and found a barbecue restaurant.

Of course Xu Wen also has shares in this.

The couple not only ordered skewers but also beer.

"Can I not leave?" Xu Wen asked even though he knew the result.

Lu Yuanzheng didn't say anything, but just raised the cup in his hand towards Xu Wen.

Xu asked: "..."

She reluctantly raised her glass and clinked it with Lu Yuanzheng.

"When I first married you, Sister Li and the others always told me that your industry may seem stable, but it is actually drifting. You are here today and there tomorrow. So meeting you is fate.

I was ready to leave you at any time at that time.

But in the past seven or eight years, soldiers have come and gone, my sister-in-law and children have come and gone, even the workers have come and gone, but we have never moved.

We built Rainbow Island bit by bit. We also built up the popularity of the island bit by bit.

We used to live like savages on this deserted island, but now..."

Xu Wen stretched out his hand and drew a big circle. "We have everything from food, clothing, shelter and transportation here! And now you tell me we have to leave! Wuwu!"

Xu Wen shed tears as he spoke.

She was really not mentally prepared for this.

Although she has changed houses three times on Rainbow Island, from the initial tent to the later wooden house and now the building, she has always felt that this is home.

It is the home of him, Lu Yuanzheng and their four children.

They even had a wedding here.

Xu Wen’s contribution to Rainbow Island is no less than Lu Yuanzheng’s.

From wind power generation to electric cars to the current economic development of Rainbow Island, which is no worse than the future first-tier cities.

But I'm leaving.

Xu Wen was really sad.

The long journey was hard. "Since I joined the army, the farthest I've been has been to the Northeast and Inner Mongolia. The farthest I've been in the south has been here. The farthest east has been the sea, and the farthest west has been to the border. On average, I've had to change places every one or two years. Sometimes there were wars, so I had no fixed place at all.

I have changed jobs in more than one unit, but I always just packed my bags and left.

This time, I couldn’t bear it.”

In fact, for Lu Yuanzheng, even though the work on Rainbow Island was a little special, it was not his most special experience and was not so unforgettable.

This is Rainbow Island, which is like a swallow's nest to him and Xu Wen. They built it bit by bit through their own efforts and hands.

Here, people get married and have children.

Xu Wen was silent for a moment, and raised his glass to Lu Yuanzheng: "Comrade Lu, don't be sad! There is no place in the world where you can't find a house! We have plenty of houses! It's okay, it's okay. Let's go to the central island and buy another house."

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

He put down the cup and looked at Xu, who looked dazed. "Wife, are you drunk? Our company has allocated a house for you."

"Not drunk! Who is drunk?" Xu Wen waved her hand, and the arrogance of the rich woman was at its peak at this moment. "I won't live in the house allocated by your unit! I'll give it to you if you say so! I'll go back if you say so! We'll buy it ourselves! I've got money!"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

He sighed softly, then smiled with the corners of his lips curled up.

Xu Wenke is really a magical girl.

It is said that alcohol tolerance is linked to mood. When you are in a good mood, you can drink more. When you are in a bad mood, even someone who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk will fall down after just one drink.

Xu Wen rarely drinks. He has never been able to hold his alcoholic capacity to begin with, and now he has started to talk drunkenly.

In the past, when I was in the army and fought in wars, I had to go to many cold places. Many times, everyone would drink a sip or two of wine to warm themselves up. Over time, they developed a good alcohol tolerance.

But perhaps because he was in a bad mood, Lu Yuanzheng also felt a little dizzy.

He raised his hand and pinched his brow, smacked his lips and pondered Xu Wen's words before speaking: "Wife, maybe we don't have to move?"

Xu Wen's eyes were hazy and his reaction was a little slow, but he still drank mouthful after mouthful. When he heard Lu Yuanzheng's words, he blinked and said, "Can you stay?"

Lu Yuanzheng nodded, then shook his head: "I can't stay. But, didn't you say that in your last life, when you were doing internship and going to work, the commute took you an hour? It takes less than an hour to get from Rainbow Island to Central Island."

"That's right!" Xu Wen put down his glass and clapped his hands, "So do we not have to move?"

"I have to apply for this. Logically, we still have to move."

Xu Wen pouted again and said reluctantly, "Okay then!"

"Wife, let's go home first!" Lu Yuanzheng shook his head and stood up. He couldn't guarantee that he would stay sober if he drank any more.

"No! I haven't drunk enough!" Xu Wen pouted, "Besides, that's not a home, that's called a house! It's the house allocated by your unit, and it will be taken away!"

Lu Yuanzheng turned a deaf ear and asked his boss to settle the bill.

The boss is a retired kitchen squad leader. He learned the grilling skills from Xu Wen, and Xu Wen also provided the initial start-up capital.

The boss saw Lu Yuanzheng and saluted. He felt grease on his finger seams and realized that he had been discharged. He wiped his hands on his apron and said, "What do you two want to settle? Just leave!"

Xu Wen shook his head, slammed the table and stood up: "No! You have to charge. Dividends are dividends, and customers are customers. 70% of the people on this island are your acquaintances. If you don't charge them, you will lose your pants! Give us some more wine! I haven't had enough to drink!"

She spoke very smoothly, but her eyes became more and more distracted, and her tongue became larger.

Lu Yuanzheng greeted the boss calmly.

The boss understood immediately and asked Xu with a smile: "Sister-in-law, it's getting late, we need to make samples!"

Xu Wen turned around and looked at the bustling commercial street and the tables full of diners near them, wondering, "Really? There are so many people!"

"Yes! There are few tables left! You are dizzy and seeing double because you drank too much!" The boss lied without changing his expression.

Although Xu Wen felt something was wrong, his mind was a mess and he felt dizzy, so he gave up and said reluctantly, "Okay then! Pack these skewers for me! And give me two cartons of beer."

boss:"……"

He saw the long journey ahead.

Lu Yuanzheng asked Xu Wen, "Can you carry it? Two cans of beer are very heavy!"

The "ti" that Xu Wen mentioned is ten bottles of beer tied together with a thin rope.

Xu Wenxiao: "Aren't you still here?"

"I have to carry you on my back." Lu Yuanzheng reminded Xu Wen.

Xu Wen said "oh" and thought for a while, "Then why don't you carry me on your back and I hold the wine?"

boss:"……"

Nothing wrong!

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

In the end, Xu Wen didn't get the two cartons of wine. The boss said he had run out of wine and only gave him two bottles of "white wine".

Xu Wen was afraid that the boss was cheating her, so she unscrewed the bottle cap and sniffed it, frowning: "Is this wine bad? It's so sour?"

"This is aged wine for you! It's normal for it to taste a bit sour after being fermented for so many years," said the boss.

Xu Wen was still skeptical, so he poured the wine back into the bottle and took a sip.

She was quite drunk, her hands were shaking, and she spilled a lot.

The two grown men just watched from the side and neither stepped forward to help.

The boss whispered, "My sister-in-law is so drunk, but she's still so alert! Do you think she doesn't trust me? Or does she not trust you?!"

Lu Yuanzheng glanced at the boss.

The boss immediately made a gesture to seal his mouth.

Lu Yuanzheng looked back at Xu Wen, who had just finished drinking the "white wine" in the bottle cap. His face wrinkled and he said in disgust: "What kind of wine is this? Why does it taste so strong?"

The boss shook his head innocently: "I don't know, my comrades in Shanxi gave it to me. It might be a Shanxi specialty bar!"

Xu Wen was relieved, and screwed the bottle cap on with satisfaction, with a smug look on his face: "It doesn't matter where the wine is produced, as long as you don't fool me with plain water!"

boss:"……"

He looked at Lu Yuanzheng with admiration. No wonder Lu Tuan told him not to use plain water but only white vinegar!

Lu Yuanzheng was afraid that Xu Wen would annoy them when he woke up tomorrow and thought about it, so he quickly asked Xu Wen to leave.

Other people would lose their memory when they get drunk, but Xu Wen wouldn’t. She could still remember even when she was drunk.

Lu Yuanzheng sometimes thought that the reason why Xu Wen could remember things from her past life was because her memory was so strong that even Meng Po soup could not work.

Xu Wen jumped onto Lu Yuanzheng's back, holding the vinegar bottle in both hands.

Lu Yuanzheng felt a pain in his knee and almost fell down, but it was only an almost. He just frowned and continued to hold Xu Wen steadily.

At this time, Xu Wen was not as quick as usual and did not notice Lu Yuanzheng's abnormality. He just turned around and told his boss: "Give me a pass!"

The boss quickly wrapped up the skewers of meat that Xu Wen ordered and hung them on... Lu Yuanzheng's hand!

Xu Wen kept chattering all the way.

Reminiscing from the time they first met, talking about everything they experienced together!

Talking about how she was reluctant to leave Rainbow Island.

Lu Yuanzheng listened quietly and carefully distinguished the road under his feet.

He was a little drunk today, but his mind was still clear. He felt a little dizzy and his limbs were a little numb.

He was afraid that his brain would lose control of his hands and feet and he would fall.

When they finally got home, Xu Wen didn't drop anything, but a bottle of vinegar was broken.

He didn't fall while walking, but accidentally knocked over with his hands when the two of them were pulling each other's clothes.

Xu Wen sniffed and turned his head to look: "Lu Yuanzheng, we haven't finished our wine yet!"

"Drink later!"

Having a hangover is a very, very uncomfortable thing.

When Xu Wen opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the spinning ceiling.

She closed her eyes again, raised her hands to press her temples, and her face wrinkled.

I have a headache and my waist and legs also hurt!

The headache was probably caused by the hangover, but the back and leg pain was definitely caused by the long journey!

Xu Wen turned his head.

Lu Yuanzheng is no longer in bed!

This person's self-discipline is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Xu Wen curled his lips and sat up after a while.

There was a cup of still warm honey water on the bedside table, with a note under the water.

Xu Wen picked it up.

[I sent Dongsheng and Xiachu to school. Breakfast is covered in the pot. There is honey water by the bed, which can help relieve a hangover, remember to drink it!]

Xu Wen was indeed thirsty, so he held the cup and drank it down in gulps.

Then go take a shower.

They are an old married couple, and Lu Yuanzheng rarely gets her covered in bruises like he did this time. It seems she drank a lot yesterday.

Xu Wen lowered his head, looked at the hideous scar on his stomach, and raised his hand to touch it.

In her previous life, a friend of hers gave birth via caesarean section. She had seen the incision, which was only the length of a palm and located very low, so it could not be seen even when she wore low-waisted pants.

But the scar on her belly was so severe that she had told the doctor when she was admitted to the hospital that if she had to have a caesarean section, she hoped the doctor would do a transverse incision.

The doctor did meet her request for a cross-section, but due to limited medical conditions, the incision was sutured like an earthworm, which was a bit creepy.

Xu Wen certainly loves beauty and was once very self-conscious. When she was having sex with Lu Yuanzheng, she was not sure whether to turn on the lights and did not allow him to see or touch her.

In the end, Lu Yuanzheng got angry.

"Xu Wen, we are husband and wife, but this is not an obligation!"

Originally, intimate contact can enhance the relationship between husband and wife, but during that period of time, Xu Wen felt that doing that was just like completing a task. He was not allowed to see or touch, and was only shown his back. He did not show any tenderness beforehand, and just let Lu Yuanzheng do it directly.

At first Lu Yuanzheng let her do what she wanted, but later he coaxed her.

Xu Wen was also stubborn and just disagreed.

After enduring for a month, Lu Yuanzheng finally lost his temper.

He has always been good at hiding his emotions, and it's rare for him to be so openly angry.

That day Lu Yuanzheng told Xu Wen a lot.

Anyway, the general idea is that he will never give up on Xu Wen just as Xu Wen will never give up on him.

Besides, he was also half responsible for the scar. The child was both theirs, but Xu Wen had to bear the risk alone.

Xu Wen was frightened at the time, and by the time he came to his senses, Lu Yuanzheng had already left.

When he came back, he had a new wound on his body.

He had a vasectomy.

After the implementation of family planning, couples who do not meet the requirements for having another child will be required to undergo sterilization, and the majority of those who need sterilization are women.

There is no doubt that a minor caesarean section is also a pain.

Before Xu Wen could react, Lu Yuanzheng said, "This time, I have a scar too! We're even!"

Xu asked: "..."

In fact, if the atmosphere wasn’t wrong at the time, Xu Wen really wanted to reply, “You don’t have any scars on your body!”

Lu Yuanzheng has many scars, both big and small, on his body, and it is difficult to find a piece of intact skin the size of a bowl.

However, in the end, the matter was resolved and the two returned to normal.

Xu Wen finished his recollection and chuckled. He thought, considering what she and Lu Yuanzheng were like, what was there to be afraid of? It was just a move, wasn't it?

Acceptable!

But, don’t move.

Just like Lu Yuanzheng said, the distance from Rainbow Island to Central Island is not a problem at all now, just treat it as going to work!

If all else fails, make a jet ski for Lu Yuanzheng to ride to and from get off work.

As for this family building, if it is taken back, she can build a house!

Now that the original capital has been accumulated to a certain extent, and the east wind has arrived, the army has begun to reform. Wouldn't it be possible to solve the housing problem by taking the opportunity to establish real estate and start building houses?

Xu Wen wiped the water off his body, put on his clothes, and returned to the living room.

As soon as I entered the living room, I smelled a strong smell of white vinegar!

Xu Wen frowned. Why did he make so much trouble so early in the morning after such a long journey?

The pot was filled with steamed buns and millet porridge, not dumplings.

I returned to the living room with the porridge and buns in confusion and saw a bottle of white vinegar on the table.

The memory of the two bottles of wine last night came back to me.

Lu Yuanzheng and the barbecue restaurant partnered up to trick her and gave her two bottles of vinegar!

Xu Wen took a big bite of the bun!

For a moment, she didn't know whether she should blame the two people for playing a prank on her, or cover her face in shame for her drunken behavior.
