Chapter 71
After hearing this, Shi Lei, who had been accustomed to being a partner for so long, wanted to hit him.
God damn, "There is nothing you can do if you have a virtuous wife!"
Dong Chao's mouth twitched, he took a breath, and then exhaled, but he still couldn't help it: "What should I do if I really want to hit someone? He wasn't like this when he was the company commander before?!"
Shi Lei corrected him: "It has nothing to do with whether you are a company commander or not. It has something to do with whether you are married or not!"
"Yes! This man! He becomes timid after having a wife! Not only does he listen to his wife in everything, but he also looks so proud!"
"Are you scared?" Lu Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows. "Let's have a one-on-one duel? After sitting in the office for a long time, can you still stretch your arms and legs?"
Dong Chao: “…”
He can't go on a long expedition without sitting in an office.
A few of them were whispering here, while Xu Wen was explaining the wind turbines and solar equipment he had made to the team of experts.
How is electricity generated, converted and temporarily stored?
There happened to be someone in the expert and scholar group who was researching this area and was particularly interested in Xu Wen's design. He asked her questions about things he didn't understand and also gave her some optimization suggestions.
Seeing that they could not finish the discussion in a short time, Lu Yuanzheng invited them to sit in the cafeteria.
The cafeteria is in the last row of wooden houses.
The soldiers' canteen is still in the beach tent. This canteen was temporarily opened just to accommodate this group of experts.
Originally, there were many houses in the family area, and the soldiers could live together.
But everyone still insisted on living in tents first and moving in after the camp on the mountain was built.
Because it's inconvenient.
As the name suggests, the family area is where family members live, either children or women.
They are a group of big men who often run around with their shirts off.
Many people are not used to living in tents together, and it is somewhat inconvenient in daily life.
You have to control the volume of your speech.
They were obviously a group of rough guys from the woods who could pee as soon as they took off their pants, but they had to say in a very elegant way that they were going to the toilet.
Once the family members moved out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was unwilling to move into the wooden house.
The tent conditions are poor, but it’s free!
Fortunately, we didn't move, otherwise it would be difficult to arrange for so many experts and assistants to come to the island at once.
The wooden houses are all low-end models that are ready for move-in.
No matter it is one bedroom and one living room or two bedrooms and one living room, there will be four major items: square table, stool, cabinet, and bed.
The conditions are definitely not good, but it is suitable for daily living.
During the meal, Song Xueqin was particularly embarrassed: "I'm sorry that everyone has come here from all over the country and can't eat or sleep well."
The leading academician Liu was very approachable and easy to talk to. He said, "We do scientific research and need to do a lot of experiments. We often travel around and often have to sleep outdoors. Although your place is a bit remote and it is inconvenient to come here, this island is a good place for Feng Shui. Apart from other things, it is still very suitable for doing wind power experiments here. Besides, so many soldiers can endure such hardships, so why can't we? We are all serving the people!"
Academician Liu also specifically praised Xu Wen: "Comrade Xu Wen is truly remarkable! Head of the delegation Song, let me say something you may not like. It is a waste of her talent to keep her on the island! If I were to take her away, within a few years our country would have a world-famous female scientist!"
Song Xueqin waved his hands, "Comrade Xu Wen, you can't take him with you. It's not a matter of whether I agree or not. He is a college student, and a student at Peking University! A famous university? On the first day of enrollment, the school rules were changed. I can only go back once a year to take exams! How can I go with you if I can't even go to school and can't bear to leave home?"
Academician Liu exclaimed: "She is still a college student? Then why..." would she stay on the island.
Halfway through his words he felt that what he said was a bit disrespectful to the officers and soldiers on the island so he swallowed it back.
Song Xueqin didn't care and was particularly proud: "Because she is a military wife! She is here to follow the army. So? You scientific researchers are allowed to recruit talents, but we are not allowed to have powerful military dependents?
You can see it all the way here. Although the overall environment on our island is not very good, but you see..." He pointed to the fan above his head, the ice bucket next to him, and the iced fruits on the table, "These are all brought to us by Comrade Xu Wen. With her around, our soldiers' lives have become much better."
Dr. Sun said: "That's why Nietzsche said that gold will shine wherever it is! Talents are talents wherever they are, and they can all do good things for the people!"
"Yes." Academician Liu agreed, "Usually, it is the soldiers who serve the people. Now it is our turn to help the soldiers with our strength! Comrades, you must show your best skills and don't let the soldiers look down on those of us who only know how to read!"
For the next few days, Xu Wen took Dongsheng and accompanied the expert group to tour the island.
Now the dangerous animals and plants in the rainforest have been basically cleared, barbed wire fences have been erected along the island, and 24-hour sentries have been set up on commanding heights.
The safety of the island is already guaranteed.
The expert team needs to measure the wind speed and sunshine and observe the sunshine amount for a day.
Even the area of the island is being measured, because they want to calculate how many windmills can be installed on the island and how much average daily power each windmill should generate to ensure normal electricity supply on the island.
It was the first time that Xu Wen came into such close contact with real scientists, and he realized that doing scientific research is not that easy.
These experts are not the kind of "experts" who will be criticized for their words a few decades later. They are real masters and the best in their professional fields.
It also made Xu Wen realize how one-sided her knowledge was based on her own limited understanding and the information she got from the magic mirror.
She worked hard to absorb knowledge from the expert team, and also shared with the experts everything she knew and understood, except for those that were obviously characteristic of the era or did not belong to this era.
Experts regard the information and data provided by Xu Wen as treasures and have always praised Xu Wen as a genius.
I feel unworthy of Xu Tiancai’s gift.
I feel guilty about it, but I just need to solve the problems on the island.
While Xu Wen and other experts are working together on wind power research, Lu Yuanzheng and his team still have to work on construction and land reclamation.
The issue of electricity is very important, but food, clothing, housing and transportation are the basis of survival.
Of course, as the chief officers, he and Shi Lei had to have someone accompany the expert group, and they also sent two soldiers to help them.
Shi Lei took the initiative to give Lu Yuanzheng the opportunity to accompany the expert group on the inspection and investigation, under the pretext of allowing the couple to see each other more often.
As a result, Lu Yuanzheng became even more embarrassed.
In the past, in his hometown... I won’t talk about what happened in his hometown, he never thought that he would have this day with Xu Wen.
Later, I accompanied him to study in the capital for two months, using crutches and wearing a plaster cast. Even if I wanted to do something with Xu Wen, I was unable to do so.
We finally got to the island, where the environment was harsh, with a family of three sleeping in one tent.
Except for the day when he got emotionally upset, Lu Yuanzheng had always been determined to wait until they had a wedding and moved into a new house before taking the next step with Xu Wen.
Otherwise, I always feel that I owe Xu Wen too much, and now I still feel that I owe her, but any amount I can give back is a plus.
Now the wedding ceremony has been completed, the house has been moved, and the bridal chamber has been entered! But it’s only once!
It has been almost half a month since the expert group arrived on the island.
He! Can! Only! See! Xu! Ask! With! The! Group!
Xu Wen wakes up earlier than him and goes to bed later than him.
I had breakfast, lunch and dinner with the experts, and we would often work until midnight.
I just started a long journey of love, and now it’s difficult to even see my wife. I can only say a few words to her in public. How can it be comfortable?
Lu Yuanzheng sighed and patted Shi Lei on the shoulder: "It's not good to have a wife who is too good!"
Shi Lei rolled his eyes: "I don't know who is so proud of himself every time he hears people praising his sister-in-law!"
"I would be proud if someone praised my wife!" Lu Yuanzheng said as a matter of course, "but how can I be happy if they occupy my wife every day?"
Regarding this point, Shi Lei could only pat Lu Yuanzheng on the shoulder and said with sympathy: "For the sake of the soldiers and civilians on the entire island, just bear with it! Anyway, you have been a monk for 26 years, so a few days won't make a difference."
Lu Yuanzheng: "..."
He nodded: "You're right! I really need to learn from you. Being married is the same as not being married. Do you still remember what your sister-in-law looks like?"
Shi Lei: “…”
Some men who can’t get a wife are so narrow-minded!
Shi Lei raised his chin to indicate the direction of the expert group: "Go! Fight them! Get my wife back! What's the point of you fighting with me? It's not like I'm holding my sister-in-law back from going home."
Lu Yuanzheng stroked his chin and said, "That's true."
Really take a step forward.
Shi Lei quickly grabbed him and said, "Don't be impulsive! Think about electricity! Lights, TV, and telephone."
Lu Yuanzheng rolled his eyes: "I'm not impulsive, I'll treat them to a meal! Didn't you see my wife rubbing her legs? She's tired of standing all the time."
Shi Lei: “…”
He patted La Luyuanzheng's right hand with his left hand: "You owe me!"
That night, Xu Wen came home early for once, and as soon as he entered the door he heard Dongsheng crying.
Dongsheng stood in the living room feeling aggrieved, while Lu Yuanzheng sat on the sofa with a sullen face.
"What's going on?"
Hearing Xu Wen's voice, Dongsheng turned his head, saw her and threw himself into her arms.
Xu Wen hurriedly patted his back and comforted him: "Don't cry! Can you tell me what happened?"
Dongsheng cried even louder.
Xu Wen looked at Lu Yuanzheng and asked, but Lu Yuanzheng turned his eyes away and pretended not to see him.
Xu asked: "..."
After Dongsheng finally stopped crying, Xu asked again.
She didn't dare to deceive anyone without asking clearly.
If Dongsheng did something wrong and Lu Yuanzheng taught him a lesson, she would not be a loving mother who doted on her son.
If Lu Yuanzheng was wrong, she couldn't say that to him in front of the children, right?!
Who knew Dongsheng would sob and say, "The taro milk tea my dad made is so unpalatable!"
Xu asked: "..."
She looked at Lu Yuanzheng in disbelief, wanting to verify the truth of the accusation.
Lu Yuanzheng touched his nose and didn't look at her.
Xu asked: ???
So it's true?
Xu Wen couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Why are you crying so hard over just a cup of milk tea?"
"I want to ask you to do it for me! Dad won't let me, he said he can't disturb you at work. He also said that's how I'm used to it, I can drink if I want! Wuwu...Mom, you don't even accompany me now!"
Xu Wen understood that the extra straw in Milk Tea was mainly because she had been ignored by her for a long time and felt insecure, so she wanted to cry and make a fuss to attract the adults' attention.
To be exact, it attracted her attention.
Xu Wen looked at Lu Yuanzheng suspiciously, why is there so much commotion?
Dongsheng is so young, he can't possibly predict when she will come back, right?
The big ones definitely have a share.
There are soldiers from a long journey in the temporary laboratory, and they will definitely know what time her work will end.
Lu Yuanzheng didn't know whether he felt guilty or he couldn't bear it anymore, so he turned around and went upstairs.
Xu Wen rolled his eyes speechlessly and decided to coax the younger one first and then the older one.
