Chapter 76

"Mom, what is a surfboard?" Dongsheng squatted beside Xu Wen curiously, watching her busy and helping her.

"It's a surfing board!" Xu Wen answered. It wasn't that she was perfunctory, but she felt that practice would yield true knowledge. "Wait until I finish making the surfing board. Shall we go and try it out together?"

"Great! Great!" Dongsheng clapped his hands happily and turned around in circles.

The tutorial for making a surfboard still comes from the magic mirror.

Xu Wen drew a line on the foam board, tucked the pencil behind his ear, pointed to one of the tools he had prepared in advance, and told Dongsheng: "Help me get that hand saw. Be careful not to cut your hands."

Dongsheng agreed, ran over to get it and handed it to Xu Wen.

Xu Wen carefully held the saw and cut along the drawn lines, followed by sanding, trimming and planing.

Just grind the edge of the foam board into the shape you want, usually rounder.

After a series of processes such as wrapping it with glass cloth, applying resin, polishing and trimming, installing the rudder seat and polishing it again, a simple surfing board that is not perfect is completed.

Practice makes perfect, and when I made my first surfboard, my efficiency was obviously much higher.

It took Xu Wen a whole day to make two large surfboards and a small surfboard.

To be exact, the two surfboards at the back were made by Lu Yuanzheng.

After the meeting on Saturday morning, it’s time to rest.

Xu Wen doesn't have to go to class on Saturdays, so he usually makes breakfast at home, while Lu Yuanzheng habitually goes back to the cabin to eat after class.

As a result, halfway through the walk, I saw Dongsheng carrying his belongings to the cafeteria to get his meal.

Lu Yuanzheng stopped Dongsheng in confusion: "Why are you here to get food?"

Xu Wen said that eating in the cafeteria doesn’t taste like home, so she cooks by herself if she can.

What are you busy doing so early in the morning?

"Mom is surfing and has no time to cook, so she asked me to go to the cafeteria to get something."

"What is a surfboard?"

“It’s a surfing board.”

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

It's almost like you didn't explain it at all.

I'll have to go back and ask Xu Wen about this.

"Dad, can you go get some food? I want to go home and help Mom make a surfboard." Dongsheng raised both hands, holding a rice bowl in each hand.

"You go get some food, I'll go home to help Mom." Lu Yuanzheng shook his head.

Dongsheng curled his lips.

"This is a job assigned to you by your mom, not for me. Besides, I think I can help mom better than you can. What do you think?"

"Okay!" Dongsheng was convinced and suddenly accelerated forward, "Then you guys get ready and wait for me to go together."

"Okay!" Lu Yuanzheng agreed insincerely.

It’s not that I don’t want to bring Dongsheng, but I just feel that the surfing board may not be finished in a short time.

Otherwise Xu Wen would not be so busy early in the morning that he wouldn’t even have time to cook.

As soon as I arrived at the wooden house, I saw Xu Wen messing around in the yard.

Lu Yuanzheng stood at the door and knocked on the doorpost. "Mrs. Lu, do you need my help?"

Xu Wen looked up at him, took off his gloves and handed them to him without saying a word, "Here!"

Lu Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows, took the gloves and put them on his own hands, "Are you so rude?"

"Since you call me Mrs. Lu, why should I be polite?" Xu Wen wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained the next steps to Lu Yuanzheng one by one.

Lu Yuanzheng had an excellent memory. After listening to it once, he picked up the board that Xu Wen had made, took a look at it, and then started working on it.

"An expert can tell whether something is good or not just by looking at it once!" Xu Wen exclaimed.

She carefully weighed every step she took.

Lu Yuanzheng took the tools and started working directly, quickly and efficiently.

Xu Wen looked at her watch. As a novice as well, Lu Yuanzheng's speed and quality were twice as fast as hers.

Lu Yuanzheng kept moving his hands and asked her, "What do you want to do with this board? Dongsheng said it's called a surfboard?"

"Yeah." Xu Wen nodded. "It's literally a surfboard, for playing on the waves. And it needs to be the kind with bigger waves, about one meter high."

Xu Wen stood aside, posing as a surfer, and explained to Lu Yuanzheng the rules and requirements of the game.

"That sounds interesting."

"Yes. So I wanted you to try it out while you were resting. If the board is OK, we can have a surfing competition."

"Um?"

"You guys should have a surfing competition, to be exact."

Lu Yuanzheng said nothing and just listened quietly.

"Look, there are too few entertainment options on our island. You can't train the soldiers to death every day just to prevent them from having no energy to cause trouble. You have to give them something to look forward to, right? On rest days like this, you can hold some activities, such as surfing, beach volleyball, etc.

Since it is a competition, there are winners and losers, and there are rewards for winners.

For example, like in a sports meet, you can give out first, second, third and third place awards. My suggestion is to give more practical rewards.

Or you can have two classes and two teams compete, and they can discuss the rewards and punishments for winning and losing on their own, or you can let the officials, that is, you cadres, designate them.

For example, if one class competes with another, the losing class can agree to wash the winning class’ feet for a week.”

Lu Yuanzheng thought about it carefully before speaking: "It's a good idea, but not everyone is willing to participate. If you force them, it won't be a rest."

"Don't force me! Surfing is a sport suitable for young people and it's quite exciting. You guys are all really good swimmers and you're not afraid of water or waves, so you'll definitely have a blast.

If you don't like it, you can try other things.

I have asked several other sisters-in-law to help weave the net, and when it is finished we can play beach volleyball.

Those who really don't want to move can play chess or cards.

This will not only enrich your spare time life, but also make everyone happy.

When people are happy, they are less depressed. ”

"So what you mean is, let me try it out today?"

"right!"

"You are responsible for teaching me?"

Xu Wen blinked and said, "I will teach you verbally."

She had played abroad a few times, but her level was very amateur.

Besides, the equipment level is completely different.

In order to be a qualified teacher, Xu Wen asked Magic Mirror again how to ride a surfboard.

Dongsheng came back with lunch, and the family of three had their meal. Xu Wen cut a plate of fruit and sat on a bamboo chair under a parasol, eating while watching Lu Yuanzheng and his son busying themselves.

Dongsheng was still responsible for helping, handing Lu Yuanzheng the planer, saw and scissors.

Lu Yuanzheng was busy working with his head down, sweat rolling down his forehead and dripping.

Xu Wen looked down at the iced fruit in his hand and felt a little embarrassed. He stood up, took the towel on the armrest and wiped the sweat off Lu Yuanzheng's face. He put the towel around his neck, picked up a piece of fruit and fed it to him.

Lu Yuanzheng bit off the fruit on his fork and asked her vaguely, "Have you finally found your conscience?"

Xu Wen rolled his eyes. "This is your job description. I'm helping you! You should thank me."

Lu Yuanzheng smiled, his eyes moved from her face down, scanning her curvy figure, pausing at her waist and abdomen, and said in an ambiguous tone: "Well, I'll thank you when I get back tonight!"

Xu Wen kicked him with his toes, "Dongsheng is here! Don't be so frivolous!"

Lu Yuanzheng looked innocent: "You said you helped me and asked me to thank you, why am I being so dishonest?"

Xu asked: "..."

Dongsheng, who was called, looked up and saw Xu Wenwei picking fruits. He took the initiative to ask for some: "Mom, I want some too."

As soon as he finished speaking, he opened his little mouth and waited for food.

Xu Wen put a piece of mango into Dongsheng's mouth, and also put a piece of pineapple into Lu Yuanzheng's mouth.

The pineapple was a little sour. Lu Yuanzheng frowned and looked up. When he saw Xu Wen treating him differently, he knew she did it on purpose.

He sneered, lowered his head and continued working.

Lu Yuanzheng was very strong and worked quickly, and the board was basically finished by lunch time.

Basically, it was because Supervisor Xu asked and put forward new requirements.

She said it would look better if there was some painting on the board.

Xu Wen knew that Lu Yuanzheng could paint, but he had never seen him.

I want to take the opportunity to see it.

The nickname of noble young master is not for nothing. Which young master or young lady from a wealthy family doesn't have some talents?

Among the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is said that Lu Yuanzheng only didn't know how to play the music.

The Lu family was not well off and could not afford to buy any musical instruments.

The most popular one among the Lu Yuanzheng Club is of course ink painting.

Three panels, three different paintings.

Originally, Lu Yuanzheng wanted to paint a portrait, for example, to paint Xu Wen on his own board.

Xu Wen disagreed, saying that this was something that was stepped on and it was inappropriate to draw a face on it.

Lu Yuanzheng painted two scenes.

Xu Wen doesn’t know how to paint, maybe Lu Yuanzheng is really talented, or maybe she is looking at him through a filter, anyway, she thinks his paintings are beautiful.

I guess even if Lu Yuanzheng just painted an old man Ding, Xu Wen would think it looked good.

Dongsheng drew the board himself, and drew an old man named Ding.

After finishing the painting, the family of three took a nap.

When I woke up, the ink I had painted had dried and the sun was setting, and it was no longer so hot.

The family of three put on their swimsuits and headed to the beach.

On the weekend, there were many soldiers and children playing on the beach.

When they saw the three of them coming over carrying a large pointed board, they all looked up.

Everyone on the island knows that wherever Xu Wen appears, there must be something interesting going on.

As they walked, Xu Wen explained to Lu Yuanzheng how to ride a surfboard.

Dongsheng was also listening, so Xu Wen tried to make the explanation as detailed and easy to understand as possible.

There are no jet skis on the island to provide speed, so you have to swim to the waves as a starting point, or simply paddle over on a floating board.

Everyone gathered around and watched curiously as the family of three went into the sea.

Lu Yuanzheng swam there directly with the surfing board. Dongsheng followed Xu Wen's example and knelt on the surfing board, using his hands as oars and paddling the board like a boat to where the waves were high.

When the waves hit the skateboard, you need to find a way to stand up, keep the board on the wave, and glide quickly with the waves.

Standing is not standing upright, the body is slightly bent, the knees are slightly bent, and the legs are arranged one in front and the other behind, one leg is responsible for balance and the other leg is for control.

It is easier said than done.

Especially Dongsheng, who was young and impulsive, was always in a hurry to stand up, and he lost his balance and fell into the water several times.

He's a good swimmer and he had a life jacket on, so it wasn't a big deal.

After all, Xu Wen had practiced it before, so he was the first to stand up.

"Wow! My sister-in-law is so handsome!"

"Is the word shuai appropriate?"

"Then how would you describe your sister-in-law?"

"Just...very handsome."

"Pooh!"

"What's this for?" Some sisters-in-law didn't understand, "Looking for waves to shoot?"

"It looks like they were playing on the sea, right?"

A soldier who had seen the world explained to everyone: "That's called surfing!"

People don't understand what's going on, but whether they understand it or not doesn't prevent them from watching it with great interest.

Lu Yuanzheng's sports cells were obviously much better than Xu Wen's. After only two tries, he figured out the trick, stood steadily on the board, and sailed over one big wave after another.

The crowd standing on the beach and watching from afar, just looking at this scene, felt that Lu Yuanzheng was like riding a sea monster on the sea, very manly and really handsome.

His movements were crisp and his postures were graceful.

After standing up once, Teacher Xu fell down several times and swallowed some water.

On the contrary, little Dongsheng gradually found the feeling and rose and fell with the waves properly.

Children who grow up by the sea have a special affinity for water.

Teacher Xu was the only one who learned how to swim in the calm pool of the swimming pool and how to surf under the guidance of a coach. As a result, even now that he is actually doing it, he has not learned as fast as the two students.

But this also aroused Xu Wen's unwillingness to admit defeat, and he held his breath and stood up again.

Cheers rang out from the shore.

But before the cheers died down, Xu Wen fell back into the sea.

Xu Wen puffed up his cheeks and clung to the surfing board, lounging.

Lu Yuanzheng played for a while. Basically, he would not fall down again as long as he didn't want to. He stopped in front of Xu Wen and stretched out his hand to her, "Come, I'll take you."

Xu Wen had just extended his hand to him when he heard him add, "Teacher Xu."

Xu asked: "..."

He raised his hand and patted the back of his hand.

Who's the joke?

Lu Yuanzheng smiled quietly, looking very proud.

At that moment Xu Wen asked, he felt like his heart was being scratched by a cat.

She had never seen Lu Yuanzheng's heroic figure on the battlefield, and it was even more impossible for her to go into battle with him to kill the enemy.

But, riding a surfboard and riding the waves on a road trip is also very cool!

From this angle, Xu Wen could just see the long and narrow scar on the side of his face.

It is an existence that destroys the aesthetic sense, but at this moment it becomes a symbol of charm.

Represents the wildness of conquest.

Xu Wen stretched out his hand again and was pulled onto the surfing board by Lu Yuanzheng.

Lu Yuanzheng told Dongsheng: "Send the board to the uncles on the shore and ask them who wants to come and play."

Dongsheng hadn't had enough fun yet and was a little reluctant.

But when he saw the board was about to fly away, he hurried to chase after it.

That’s Mama’s board, you can’t throw it away!

He couldn't play with two pieces by himself, so he had to send them to people on the shore.

The person who first suggested surfing was the first to step forward, took the board and swam to the deep end of the waves with Dongsheng.

Dongsheng, who had already mastered the game, taught him in a very serious manner: "Uncle, do you know how to play? It's very simple. Look at me..."

As for Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng, they had already drifted deeper.

When Lu Yuanzheng stood up to stabilize the board, Xu Wen was still kneeling in front of the board.

He reached out his hand, grabbed her and lifted her up.

The board shook and tilted to one side. Xu Wen screamed and fell down again. He closed his eyes, pinched his nose and waited to fall into the water.

Who would have known that at this moment the board was pushed in the opposite direction and floated steadily on the crest of the wave again.

Xu Wen heard a chuckle above his head and opened his eyes.

Head on the road, Yuanzheng held out his hand again to invite her, "Come again?"

Xu Wen shook his head. "I can't stand up anyway, so I'm fine like this."

Safety does not affect the development of Luyuanzheng.

Lu Yuanzheng nodded, "Alright! Then sit down."

The feet that controlled the surfboard moved, and it rose and fell with the waves again.

A huge wave splashed over Xu Wen's face, splashing sea water all over his face.

Some of it fell into my mouth and it tasted salty and not good.

But people are excited.

This is probably the charm of sports. When conquering the waves, your heart is like the rolling wave crest.

Xu Wen stretched his neck and leaned back, watching Lu Yuanzheng backwards in an uncomfortable position.

Lu Yuanzheng just lowered his head and looked at her.

From this angle, Xu Wen saw the sharp lines of Lu Yuanzheng's chin, the straight tip of his nose, and a pair of eyes that were deeper than the sea.

And watching those deep eyes grow darker, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, his thin lips pursed.

Xu Wen was very familiar with this expression of his; it was a sign that he was becoming emotional.

Xu asked: ???

How can surfing make my hormones overflow?

Xu Wen, with a confused look on his face, had no idea how sexy and charming he looked while traveling on the road.

She knelt on the board with her body leaning back, and her head was bent back in an exaggerated arc. In this posture, her tall breasts wrapped in a tight swimsuit became more prominent, and under the influence of the huge waves, they trembled so much that people wanted to grab them.

Lu Yuanzheng bent half of her knees slightly and almost squatted. In this position, Xu Wen's face was almost between her legs, and she opened her mouth slightly as if ready to receive him.

Lu Yuanzheng coughed lightly, turned his head, and turned the tables: "There are so many people on the shore! Don't tease me!"

I learned the word "tiaobo" from Xu Wen.

Swimming clothes are close fitting, so when you are agitated, your body will move, and the movements are very obvious.

Xu Wen saw him raising the flag and sat up straight, "Lu Yuanzheng, are you still a human being?"
