Chapter 198

When Lu Yuanzheng came back from lunch at noon, Dongsheng and Xiachu were also at home.

The twins are at Zhu Meizhen's place, and Xu Wen hasn't gone to pick them up yet.

As usual, Xia Chu saw Lu Yuanzheng open the door and went to greet him.

This time, Ying was stunned halfway through, "Dad, why are your clothes changed?"

"Does it look good?" Lu Yuanzheng asked.

Xiao Xiachu nodded vigorously: "It looks good! It looks especially good!"

Lu Yuanzheng bent down, picked up his little princess, and put her on her special chair at the dining table. "You eat first, Daddy will wash his hands."

When Lu Yuanzheng came back, Xu Wen happened to be sitting at the table. He was stunned when he saw him. "Have you changed into a new uniform?"

Lu Yuanzheng turned around and asked, "Does it look good?"

Xu Wen said politely, "It looks good."

This is the Type 85 military uniform.

It also means the end of the era of wearing green with three red dots.

The military uniforms were re-divided into three tricolors: navy, land and air.

Although for some reasons, the collar badges have not yet returned to the military system, the difference can already be seen.

The collar patches of the Army, Navy and Air Force are different: the Army is red, the Navy is black, and the Air Force is blue.

The collar patches of officers and volunteers have yellow borders, but only on three sides.

The conscripts had their military branch insignia on their collar patches.

From Xu Wen's perspective as an ordinary person, she thinks the conscript collar badges are the best looking.

There are also differences in the buttons worn by officers and soldiers.

Officers have metal buttons, cadres have round metal buttons, and warriors have round wooden buttons.

This time, there are many kinds of colors and materials for the clothes.

For example, although they are both army officers, the uniform colors of officers at the division level and battalion level are slightly different, one is light green and the other is dark green.

However, Lu Yuanzheng was not much different from them, wearing white suit jackets and dark blue pants.

He wears summer clothes and autumn and winter clothes. The shirts are long and short.

The difference between autumn and winter uniforms lies in the hats.

Xu Wen had seen the Type 07, so his aesthetics were not on the same level; he just thought it was just okay.

But for Lu Yuanzheng, this was a rare experience.

Like a child, I ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror and felt particularly handsome.

It was also the first time I realized that the clothes he wore to his wedding would actually become his daily wear.

Of course, the suit Xu Wen made for him at their wedding on Rainbow Island was even better looking than the one he was wearing now.

Lu Yuanzheng had admired enough, so he took off his coat and hung it behind the door. He sat at the table, picked up his chopsticks, and first helped Xiao Xiachu pick up some dishes that she liked but her arms were not long enough to reach. Then he said, "I've reported this to the higher-ups, and they want to try to let him live in the house on Central Island."

Xu asked about the chopsticks.

Lu Yuanzheng was afraid that she would be unhappy, so he explained: "You know the situation on our island. When we first came, we were short of people, and we had to give various welfare subsidies and money to the sisters-in-law to be willing to go to the island. The officers and soldiers had to be rotated before they could stay. Do you remember that you specially opened a tutoring class to attract people? But now the situation is completely the opposite."

There are more and more officers and soldiers on Rainbow Island, and the retirement rate on Rainbow Island is the lowest. Most soldiers like Rainbow Island, and unless they can no longer stay, they will continue to serve.

More and more retired soldiers stayed on the island.

This resulted in more and more sisters-in-law following the army.

Even if the special benefits for officers and soldiers and their families stationed on Rainbow Island were cancelled, everyone would still be willing to come.

Even without subsidies, they still make a lot of money, so everyone is not short of that little bit of money.

Although this money is still a huge sum of money for people who have been to or from other islands and reefs.

Now that land is contracted to households, it is no longer the era of everyone working for the same company. Sisters-in-law can also come to work.

As long as there is enough money, who doesn’t want the family to be reunited and together?

However, everything has its pros and cons.

Rainbow Island is this big, and the camp compound has been fully utilized. It has only been three or four years, and the rooms in the family buildings are already extremely scarce.

Some officers and soldiers are qualified to accompany the army, but they cannot come to Rainbow Island for the time being because they have no houses.

The family building is already crowded.

My sister-in-law who is going to join the army now has to wait until a vacant room becomes available after completing the formalities.

Originally, there were still many empty houses in Xinri Village, which could provide temporary accommodation for the sisters-in-law.

However, the batch of houses built after the typhoon were quickly occupied by new villagers, and some people even asked for the foundations to build their own houses.

So the sisters-in-law had no place to stay when they came here.

More and more people are moving to Rainbow Island, including working people and some highly educated people.

For example, the student who once asked Xu.

Most of Xu Wen's students have graduated, but nearly ten girls, including Wang Fang, chose to give up their high-paying jobs and return to Rainbow Island.

They all said in a surprising unanimous manner that they would not be who they are today without Xu Wen. If it were not for Xu Wen's tutoring class, they would not have been able to get into college.

They also want to contribute to this island for the rest of their lives.

Among these nine girls, some chose to become teachers, and some chose to join Xu Wen's company as managers.

Xu Wen accepted the person openly.

It seems that she is taking advantage now, but in fact, except for graduates from prestigious universities like Wang Fang, most other college or technical secondary school students will enter state-owned factories.

It’s true that they used to have stable jobs, but that may not be the case anytime soon.

It's been less than two years since I left the job, maybe it would be better for me to hang out with her.

In short, there are people, but not enough houses to live in.

Workers in the factory, sisters-in-law who followed the army, and employees in administrative units were all waiting for houses.

Xu Wen nodded: "I know. So I also want to discuss something with you."

"Except for divorce, everything else can be discussed!" Lu Yuanzheng looked alert, afraid that she would be angry. Of course, there was also an element of joking.

Xu Wen rolled his eyes, "Then let's separate! I'll go live with my parents, and you can live on the central island!"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

It hurts quite a lot when you hit your foot with a stone.

Lu Yuanzheng was thinking about how to persuade Xu Wen, and Xiao Xiachu, as a caring little cotton blanket, finally played a positive role.

"No! I want to live with my dad!" Little Xiachu still had rice grains in her mouth and was chewing food. She opened her little arms and leaned sideways to protect Lu Yuanzheng, like a hen protecting her cubs.

Lu Yuanzheng immediately took advantage of the situation and said righteously, "That's right, a family should be together, how can we live apart?"

Xu Wen uttered a short "huh" and rolled his eyes at the father and son in disdain. He first scolded Xia Chu, "I've told you many times to swallow the food in your mouth before you talk." He then turned around and mocked Lu Yuanzheng, "You don't feel guilty for saying this? Is there anyone who lives apart from their family more often than you?"

Lu Yuanzheng touched his nose guiltily.

Dongsheng sighed like an adult and said to Lu Yuanzheng, "Dad, my mom has already figured out a solution! Stop talking nonsense!"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

He picked up a peanut from the plate and threw it at Dongsheng, "How do you talk to your father?"

He turned to look at Xu Wen again, with a flattering look on his face, "Wife, what have you thought of?"

Dongsheng: “…”

Xu asked: "..."

Is this the speed of face changing in Sichuan Opera? !

Xu Wen tore off a piece of fried dough stick and soaked it in the rice porridge. "It's simple! If you need a house, just build one! There is land on Rainbow Island! After the house is built, we will live here, and you can go to work every day. If you are on duty, you can live in the dormitory."

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

After a long silence, he raised his thumb towards Xu Wen and said, "Wife, I was wrong! I forgot that you are a rich man!"

For rich people, any problem that can be solved by spending money is not a problem.

Moreover, with the right time, right place and right people, Rainbow Real Estate can be established.

Xu Wen took out some paper and wiped Xia Chu's mouth and hands after she finished her meal. "I will have someone hand in the relevant materials to the camp headquarters soon. Once all the formalities are completed, we will start work."

Lu Yuanzheng frowned: "Doing real estate requires a lot of money, millions of dollars!"

"I know, so I cooperate with you. Aren't you allowed to do business and be self-sufficient now?"

You earn your own military pay.

"That's not enough. The main reason is that most of the first batch of houses built have to be welfare housing. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain."

"That won't work! The first batch can only be commercial housing. Only after we make a profit can we have money to build welfare housing."

The couple was deadlocked over this.

Xu Wen refused to give in. "If you don't agree, then I won't be a partner with you. Anyway, your battalion has money now, so go build your own welfare housing! I will set up a real estate company myself."

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

He put down his chopsticks and pinched his brows. "Wife, although most of our family's money is earned by you, but as far as I know, we are still a long way from being millionaires."

In fact, they may not even have six figures on hand.

Mobile phone factories, telecommunications companies, printer factories, diaper factories, amusement parks, shopping streets, and all the other companies in which Xu Wen is directly or indirectly involved receive at least six figures in her payout every year.

But Xu Wen basically has no spare money. He either continues to invest or buys real estate.

I buy them wherever I go, and I always buy five sets at a time. No matter how much money I make, I can't afford to buy like this.

At first, Lu Yuanzheng felt that it was impossible to visit so many places in his lifetime and there was no need.

As a result, the store where Xu Wen made his fortune, that is, the first house that Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng bought for 2,000 yuan, increased in value dozens of times after the demolition, and they were also given a new shop.

Lu Yuanzheng then remembered that Xu Wen was a cheater and she didn't buy the house just to live in it.

Lu Yuanzheng was promoted all the way to the head of a regiment, and his allowance increased rapidly. As long as one did not use Xu Wen's earning rate as a reference, he would have no problem supporting his family, and was relatively wealthy.

At the very least, it can exceed the consumption level of most people in the country.

Unfortunately, according to some sources, his salary is roughly the standard of his family's living expenses.

Even so, he suspected that Xu Wen was giving him face by lowering his living standards.

In fact, to be honest, Xu Wen was not that extravagant. He lived in a small three-bedroom apartment which was very crowded for a family of five.

It is said that the total area of ​​the three bedrooms is less than 80 square meters.

It’s just that the home appliances are very complete now, and the electricity bill alone is quite high every month.

The things the children wear and use are not luxurious at first glance but are actually quite valuable.

Just because it doesn't look worthwhile, Dongsheng still climbs trees and goes into the sea, getting covered in mud, and Xiachu still ties her princess dress around her waist like a little heroine.

The same goes for the twins... Oh, the twins' clothes were all cheap ones that Xu Wen bought from Taobao.

It’s not that Xu Wen holds a grudge and bullies the twins. It’s mainly because twins are in a period of rapid growth, and they change their clothes by two sizes in a year, so it’s a waste to buy good ones.

Xu Wen’s clothes, skin care products, and cosmetics are becoming higher and higher quality, and her shoes and bags are becoming more and more expensive.

But, it’s not much more expensive.

There is only a small space in my house, and if I buy too many, there will be no place to put them.

Therefore, the speed at which he spends money can never catch up with the speed at which Xu Wen makes money.

Moreover, Xu Wen has a lot of time, so she delegates power very thoroughly and is not greedy.

Dividends are based on how much others give you.

Guo Jianye once jokingly asked her: "Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid that I will take all your money away one day, or that your company will be directly owned by someone else?"

Xu Wen shook his head, "No!"

Guo Jianye was particularly moved, "Sister-in-law, I will definitely not let you down."

Xu asked: "..."

In fact, she just felt that money was external to one's body, especially these dividends.

Even if all the factories and companies stopped paying her dividends, at worst she still had Lu Yuanzheng to support her.

If Xu Wen doesn't like the experience of starting from scratch, then he can wait another three to five years until the A-share market opens, and Xu Wen can still become the richest man overnight.

She really doesn't care.

However, the stock market is still several years away from reopening, so the housing problem must be solved now, otherwise the family will have to move to the central island.

To be honest, the islands are all developing quite well now.

With the Rainbow Island, which was built under the charge of Lu Yuanzheng, as a good example, other islands and reefs followed suit and were almost the same.

As for how much you have learned, it depends on your personal understanding.

After all, some people can get 100 points and some people fail.

Therefore, even though they are all under militarized management, the levels of development of each island and reef, whether in terms of economy or development and construction, are completely different.

As the place where the head of a regiment is located, Central Island has always been more prosperous than other islands. Although it has been surpassed by the up-and-coming Rainbow Island, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse.

The transformation of Rainbow Island from a deserted island to a modern island is similar to that of a nouveau riche to some extent.

In contrast, the Central Island is a place run by wealthy families for generations. Although it was once overtaken by nouveau riche, in many places the nouveau riche are still inferior to the wealthy families.

It’s just that Xu Wen and the others have such deep feelings for Rainbow Island that they don’t want to leave.

Otherwise, the central island has greater development prospects.

Of course, Xu Xianyuwen doesn't want a future.

But at this moment, in order to vent his anger on Lu Yuanzheng, he said, "I can give you a loan!"

Is there any real estate developer who doesn’t lend money?

Xu Wen shouted firmly and with great momentum, but he felt empty inside.

She is not afraid of not being able to repay the loan, but she doesn't want to suffer.

In life, most of the time what you give and what you get are proportional.

Real estate is a good way to make money, but it also requires a lot of effort.

A large number of people need to be mobilized, including management, publicity, construction team, sales and so on.

You also have to go to the relevant departments to go through the formalities.

We must always control the construction quality and ensure the safety of the workers.

When the market opens, I’m worried about not being able to sell the products, and even if I do sell them, there are still problems with after-sales service.

As the old saying goes, people always gossip.

For such a large real estate company, even if Xu Wen was a salty fisherman, the hardships he endured were still greater than when he ran a urine-repellent factory.

So Xu Wenben didn't really want to be the boss, she just wanted to be a partner who made plans.

Moreover, Xu Wen did not mean to stop building dormitories. He just thought that they should build a batch of commercial housing first, so that their group would have profits and could build houses.

Xu Wen can use the money to work on the next project.

She has thought it through. She will not share any profits from the first project.

As for long expeditions, they are influenced by rules and regulations, and they put the people first and themselves second.

When they went to the cafeteria to get food, the recruits came first, then the veterans, and the soldiers came first, then the officers.

Of course, the same is true for building houses. Since the regiment has money, they should build family buildings and dormitory buildings first. If there is extra money, they can consider developing the houses.

Anyway, there is no need to worry about military pay for the time being.

Seeing that Xu Wen was determined to go his own way, Lu Yuan Zheng let out a long sigh and suddenly lost the desire to eat.

Dongsheng realized that the atmosphere was not right. He still had half a bowl of rice, and it would be inappropriate to put down the bowl and run away.

Like a little adult, he advised: "You two haven't even solved where to live next, and you're still arguing about where others should live? If you want me to say it, I'll stand with my mother. Let's not talk about other things. Is there any room for family housing? Those uncles and aunts in the major offices have their own units. Why should you pay to build dormitories for them?

Mom wants to build a house to solve the problem of workers and farmers having no place to live. Don’t you two have the same goal? "

Xu asked: "..."

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

Xu Wen touched Dongsheng's head and said, "Dongsheng is right! Those offices have units, why should your group be responsible for building houses?"

Lu Yuanzheng: "They are working on the island, so it is our duty to provide them with accommodation."

"I didn't say you shouldn't! The dormitories are built for the employees of those units. Can't you just ask their units for money to build the dormitories? There are dozens of offices on that building. If each unit contributes a little, it will be enough for their dormitories!"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

That seems to be the case.

Finally, Lu Yuanzheng compromised and said he would go to mediate.

Song Baoying didn't know that Xu Wen and his wife were thinking about how to stay on Rainbow Island. She thought that if Lu Yuanzheng left, Xu Wen would follow him. She felt reluctant to let them go, so she prepared a sumptuous meal at home and invited them to dinner.

Xu Wen didn't think much about it. In the family building, everyone ate together from time to time, so it was something they were used to.

So Lu Yuanzheng sent the twins to Zhu Meizhen.

Dongsheng went to Doudou's house for a meal.

The couple only took Xia Chu with them.

In fact, Xia Chu and the others didn't want to bring him along, but Xia Chu had a very good relationship with Song Baoying's youngest son, so she insisted on coming along.

Song Baoying gave birth to a son as her second child, who was older than Xu Wen.

It may be because one of the couple is a teacher and the other is a counselor, and both of them are engaged in educating others, so they raised their son to be mature and overly literary at a young age.

Xiao Xiachu is the complete opposite. As the only girl in the family, she is spoiled and has no law to obey. However, it is hard to change her nature as a little devil. She often teases Song Baoying's youngest son, making him blush.

But he also particularly likes to play with Xia Chu. No matter how Xia Chu teases him, he never gets angry and will still give Xia Chu a friendly smile next time.

Xia Chu also liked this little brother who never got annoyed no matter how much he was bullied. When she heard that Xu Wen was going to Song Baoying's house, she happily insisted on following him.

"Wow!" Xu Wen smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen as soon as he entered the room. "What day is it today? Why cook such a large table of dishes?"

It was like Chinese New Year, with chicken, duck, fish and meat spread out all over the table, and it was obviously a big scene.

Song Baoying waited for Lu Yuanzheng to come in with the child, then closed the door and asked Xu, "What day is it? Didn't I hear that Lu Tuan got promoted again? I know you're too lazy to cook, so I prepared a table to celebrate for Lu Tuan and to do you a favor at the same time.

Although it’s not far away, there’s still some distance between Rainbow Island and Central Island! After all, we can’t meet each other anytime like we can now!”

Xu Wen exclaimed, looked at the table full of food, then looked at Lu Yuanzheng, and asked him, "Didn't you tell Shi Lei that we didn't plan to leave Rainbow Island?"

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, "We haven't even discussed it yet, what should I say to him?"

Xu asked: "..."

"What we didn't discuss was the matter of Rainbow Island! Isn't it a consensus to stay on Rainbow Island?"

Lu Yuanzheng stopped talking.

First, Xu Wen is right.

Second, even if Xu Wen said something wrong, he had to listen to it correctly.

Song Baoying didn't bother to study the eye contact between the two people, and was stunned for a moment, "You don't plan to leave?"

Xu Wen looked at her strangely, "So do you want us to leave or not?"

Song Baoying: "..."

"Of course I don't want you to leave! But, if you don't leave, why would I bother to prepare this table of food?" Then he turned around and shouted to the kitchen, "Lao Shi, don't cook the remaining dishes! Your boss has decided not to leave Rainbow Island!"

Xu asked: "...

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

Shi Lei: “…”

Shi Lei stood at the kitchen door holding a spatula and asked Lu Yuanzheng in confusion, "You're not getting promoted?"

At the same time, Xu Wen asked Song Baoying: "Why, if we don't leave, you won't care about the meal?"

Lu Yuanzheng pinched his brows, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "I still have to go to Rainbow Island to work."

The hidden meaning is that you have to be promoted and live on Rainbow Island.

Song Baoying didn't care about studying Lu Yuanzheng's words, and asked Xu awkwardly: "That can't be! We have to take care of it! Even if we don't leave, we have to celebrate Lu Tuan's promotion, right?"

"That's right!" Xu Wen pulled out a chair and sat down unconsciously.

Having dealt with Song Baoying for so many years, of course I know what kind of person she is. I was just joking on purpose.

The four of them sat down, and the two children took their food on plates and went into the room to eat.

The eldest daughter went to her classmate's house to do homework and didn't come back to eat.

"What do you mean?" Song Baoying asked eagerly, "Why are you leaving and not leaving at the same time?"

"Lu Yuanzheng will definitely go to work in Central Island, but we are reluctant to leave here, so we are thinking of living here and letting him go back and forth every day."

Upon hearing this, Shi Lei hesitated and glanced at Lu Yuanzheng.

Lu Yuanzheng sighed, "I know what you want to say. I won't occupy the house."

Shi Lei felt a little embarrassed. Although they were colleagues before, Lu Yuanzheng was now his superior, so there were some things he couldn't say.

Song Baoying was just a family member who didn't have as many concerns as Shi Lei, so she asked directly: "Where are you going if you don't live in the family building? You can't go to your parents' place, right? Although your parents' place still has vacant rooms, isn't it a bit crowded for your family of five? Besides, there are Xu Qie and Yuan Bao, can you live there?"

Xu Wen spread his hands: "I can't open it."

According to the previous standards in Taoyuan Village, it is definitely livable.

A large earthen kang can sleep eight people, let alone six rooms that can accommodate more than ten people.

Of course the latter is more relaxed.

But now the wind of reform and opening up has spread across the country, there are fewer and fewer restrictions on doing business, and individual economy is becoming more and more popular.

How could Xu Wen, who could make money and no longer have to pretend to be illiterate, possibly humiliate himself and go back to the past?

"So what do you think?" Song Baoying said anxiously, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why do you still keep me in suspense?"

"I'm not trying to keep you in suspense, but we haven't figured out how to do it yet. Our current idea is to build a house on Rainbow Island!"

Song Baoying's eyes lit up and she slapped her forehead, "That's right! Look at my brain! Your family is not short of money. There is still wasteland on the island. You can get a residential plot or buy a piece of land and build a house yourself!"

Xu Wen bit the end of his chopsticks and glanced at Lu Yuanzheng. "Sister-in-law, you are absolutely right! It would be great if I could buy a piece of land and build a villa for myself!"

Why do you have to go through all the trouble of setting up a real estate company?

What does it have to do with her if other people have no place to live?

At worst, she could wait another two years, until the land could be traded, and then buy a piece of land for her workers and print two rows of dormitories.

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

He understood the implication of Xu Wen's words.

He let out a faint sigh and dared not say a word.

He knew that Xu Wen went through all this trouble because of him. Otherwise, as Song Baoying said, going to the village to ask for a piece of residential land to build a house would be no problem for Xu Wen.

Shi Lei also sensed something was wrong and asked Xu Wen, "Sister-in-law, do you have any good ideas? I mean, the kind that will benefit everyone on the island!"

"Is it okay to accept bribes? Don't you have discipline?" Song Baoying wondered.

Xu asked: "..."

A mouthful of food went up his throat and he coughed heart-wrenchingly.

Lu Yuanzheng quickly helped her to follow his steps, "Slow down!"

Shi Lei explained to Song Baoying speechlessly: "It's not a bribe! It's a real benefit. When has sister-in-law wanted to do something and we didn't benefit from it?"

Song Baoying suddenly realized and agreed, "That's right!" Then she turned to Xu and asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you think this time?"

Just as Xu Wen had calmed his breathing, he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Who would come at this time?" Song Baoying said as she stood up to open the door.

The restaurant is very close to the entrance, so you can see and hear it.

As soon as Song Baoying opened the door, she saw Dou Dou's mother and Wang Lingling and her sisters-in-law blocking the entire corridor.

Some sisters-in-law couldn't even squeeze into the corridor and could only stand far away on the stairs.

Anyway, when Song Baoying looked, the stairs from her house to the next floor were full of sisters-in-law.

Song Baoying was considering the possibility of letting them all in, but she said enthusiastically, "Sisters-in-law, why are you all here together? Come on, come in!"

Doudou's mother and her family are very self-aware. No matter how many rooms there are upstairs in their home, they are all small and small, and there is no room for them to stay.

"No, sister-in-law, I heard that you want to ask your sister-in-law." Dou Dou's mother smiled.

When Xu Wen heard that someone was looking for him, he was particularly puzzled and quickly stood up and went forward to greet him.

Song Baoying moved to the side to make room for Xu Wen so that all the sisters-in-law could see her.

"Are all my sisters-in-law here to see me?" Xu Wen looked outside the door, his eyes widened in surprise.

I'm afraid more than half of the sisters-in-law in the family building have come.

Wang Lingling nodded. "We heard that you and Lu Tuan were leaving Rainbow Island and were going to have a meal with Instructor Shi, so we wanted to come over and add some dishes!"

"Your Dongsheng said you and Lu Tuan were having dinner at Sister Baoying's house, so we all came here spontaneously!" Doudou's mother passed the plate in her hand to Xu Wen and said, "Sister-in-law, don't you like the braised lion head I make the most? I'll add another dish for you! We have been through thick and thin together for so many years, and you must have a bite of my food when you have dinner!"

"And me, I made pork belly chicken!"

"I have braised pork here!"

“Steamed fish!”

“…”

Starting from Doudou's mother and Wang Lingling and going all the way down, the sisters-in-law could be heard calling out their names for dishes one after another.

Xu Wen was very moved, especially moved.

As a bystander, Song Baoying's eyes were filled with tears.

What Xu Wen has done for Rainbow Island over the years is obvious to all.

As Shi Lei said just now, we are all beneficiaries.

What's more, Xu Wen and his wife are usually righteous people, so everyone really can't bear to part with them.

No wonder these sisters-in-law made their own specialties and sent them to Xu Wen as soon as they heard the commotion.

These dishes are the real deal!

I guess their house can’t hold it all.

Xu Wen was silent for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed: "I am very grateful to all the sisters-in-law! I appreciate your kindness. But..."

Xu Wen took a deep breath and said, "We will not leave Rainbow Island for the time being!"

Wang Lingling said, "Ah?" "Isn't Lu Tuan going to be transferred to the Central Island? Isn't Sister Baoying going to be your servant?"

Song Baoying nodded and shook her head: "I wanted to perform the ritual for them just like you did! But they said they would not leave. We were just talking about this when you all came!"

The sisters-in-law outside the door cheered in unison.

"Really? Sister-in-law, you're really not leaving?"

"That's great! We can be together every day again!"

"Sister-in-law, I feel at ease if you don't leave. Ever since I knew that Lu Tuan was going to be promoted and transferred, and you guys would follow him, I felt empty inside. I feel like we will never panic when you are the only ones around."

"Yeah, me too!"

"And me!"

“…”

There were sounds coming from the corridor.

It would be a lie to say that he was not moved. Even though he was moved by this silent place, Xu Wen said, "Thank you all again! But Sister Song Baoying's house can't accommodate so many of us! How about we all go back first and find another place to have a pajama party another day?"

"Why not today?"

I don't know which sister-in-law shouted.

Xu asked: "..."

"That's right! We have so many dishes! Why don't we just have a dinner party?"

Xu Wen turned around to look at Lu Yuanzheng who was following him, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "Okay then!"

Today, there is no indoor space large enough on Rainbow Island for Xu and her friends to have dinner or a pajama party.

There are some in the school, but the school is already in full use, so it is not appropriate for them to use them for chatting and holding parties.

We discussed for a long time but couldn't come up with a good idea.

Finally, it was Lu Yuanzheng who came up with an idea and asked them to go camping.

Everyone thought this was a good idea and expressed their approval.

So Lu Yuanzheng and Shi Lei went to the camp headquarters and called a few people to help them set up two large tents on the beach.

There are too many sisters-in-law nowadays.

At the first pajama party, there were only about twenty people, then fifty or sixty, and now there are about two hundred. There is simply not enough space in one tent.

The two tents were also crowded with people.

Lu Yuanzheng also got two tables for Xu Wen and her friends to set up their "Manchu-Han Banquet".

The Manchu-Han Banquet only has 108 dishes. Xu asked them that there are more than 120 dishes here.

There may be some repetitions, such as two plates of braised pork, but the taste will never be the same.

Because each sister-in-law only brought one dish.

Sister-in-law Song Baoying followed the local customs and brought a plate of food.

Xu Wen saw her carrying the food out and was speechless for a moment, "Do I have to go home and make some food to take with me?"

Song Baoying shook her head: "You are the protagonist, why would you need to prepare any dishes?"

Lu Yuanzheng, Shi Lei and the others set up their tent and prepared to retreat to have a drink.

Before leaving, Lu Yuanzheng made a phone call gesture to Xu Wen.

Just let her call him when she has something to do.

Xu Wen nodded.

Song Baoying sighed: "After so many years, you two can still be as close as young people. It's really enviable!"

Doudou's mother agreed: "That's right! They already have four children, but they still look like a newlywed couple!"

Wang Lingling glanced at the real newlywed sister-in-law in the corner and shook her head, "Maybe many newlywed couples are not as good as Xu Wen's sister-in-law and Lu Tuan!"

Wang Ying passed by and heard this, and also interjected, "Isn't it? Lu Tuan and Xu Wen's wife are the ones to be envied! They have love, children, money, and talent!"

Xu Wen hurriedly called a halt: "After all this trouble, everyone must be hungry, right? Let's talk while we eat!"

There were too many dishes and too many people, so we had to change it to a buffet.

All the dishes were placed on several tables, and all the sisters-in-law were walking around the tables with bowls and chopsticks in their hands, taking whatever they wanted to eat.

Everyone ate and chatted.

As the conversation went on, it turned into a Q&A session.

To be precise, it is a meeting to thank Xu Wen.

Everyone came to Xu to express their gratitude.

Wang Ying started the conversation first. She brought two glasses of juice and handed one to Xu Wen: "Sister-in-law, thank you! Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today!"

Xu asked: "..."

This sounds particularly ridiculous and makes me feel like a fake philanthropist.

Wang Ying saw through it and explained: "I'm not being polite to you!"

She turned around and pointed at the first few sisters-in-law who came to the island. "They all know my past! I was not well-liked at that time, and my marriage was almost ruined. Later, it was you who scolded me and woke me up! I was admitted to a technical secondary school, and came back to Rainbow Island to become a teacher... In short, it is because of you that Zhao Gang and I can live a happy life now!"

"Me too!" Jiang Yiyi jumped out.

Xu asked: "..."

She waved her hands and refused, "Who are you? I didn't help you at all!"

"How could there be no? I almost broke up with our Li Mao! It was because of that pajama party, when the sisters-in-law told me so many stories about themselves, that I realized where I was wrong!"

"Then this is the credit of the other sisters-in-law! I didn't tell you any story." Xu Wen shook her head. She was also a new military wife at that time and had not experienced these things.

"You didn't tell me any stories, but you were the one who organized the pajama party! Besides, if you hadn't helped me with my homework, I wouldn't have been able to get into college. In the end, I still have to thank you, right?"

Xu asked: "..."

"Okay! Whatever you say is true, it is true!" Xu Wen also clinked glasses lightly with Jiang Yiyi.

For some reason I thought of Jiang Yiyi's "prone support" joke and smiled softly.

Wang Lingling also came over.

Xu Wen waved his hands, "Just chat, forget about drinking, I'm really feeling uncomfortable."

One cup per person, there are more than a hundred people here, she really can't handle it.

Most of the sisters-in-law expressed their gratitude to Xu Wen.

Some people live a good life because of her, some people go to school and get married because of her.

After listening to it one by one, Xu Wen felt a little dazed and doubted whether the person his sisters-in-law were talking about was himself.

I always thought I was a salted fish lying flat.

After all, considering her golden fingers, anyone else would have become the richest man in the world by now, but she is still a full-time housewife.

I don't work much, and most of the time I play with my four children.

But it turns out that I have done so many things without realizing it.

However, the pajama party did not end smoothly that night.
