Chapter 80

The sisters-in-law all laughed.

Xu Wen also curled his lower lip slightly.

She was usually either busy or avoiding work, and rarely chatted with her sisters-in-law. She was a little surprised that they could chat so freely.

A bit too open.

It may also be that in her impression, her sisters-in-law are usually role models who are dignified, know right from wrong, independent and capable, so she feels a little uncomfortable with asking such questions in private.

But it's just a little bit of discomfort. To some extent, I feel a little close to him.

It's like exchanging the most important secrets, which makes the relationship closer.

It's just that it's too private, so it's embarrassing.

With Mrs. Xu's suggestion, several other sisters-in-law also started to complain about their husbands' achievements on the kang.

Of course, there is also some praise.

Seeing that Xu Wen hadn't spoken, Mrs. Xu turned the topic to her: "Look, we're all sitting here like nagging wives, and you don't say a word when someone asks you about something. It shows that Lu Ying is not only good as a soldier, but also as a man!"

Xu Wen didn't expect that her words would involve himself. His face suddenly became hot and he regretted that he was so engrossed in listening to the gossip that he didn't leave in time.

She couldn't respond to this and could only remain silent.

Lu Yuanzheng is indeed impeccable in this regard.

Wearing that green uniform is a way to make the enemy fear you and the soldiers convinced.

When he takes off his clothes, he is Xu Wen's man, who is particularly stuffy.

Especially when it comes to that kind of thing, he keeps saying a lot of dirty talk, and he won't ask for her opinion on everything like Mrs. Xu said.

To be exact, Lu Yuanzheng was particularly domineering in bed, and she was not used to it.

However, Xu Wen didn't want to share these with others, and was too embarrassed to share them.

Just because Xu Wen didn't say anything didn't mean her sisters-in-law would let her go.

Perhaps it is because they all shared their personal experiences, so they became more bold in speaking.

"That's right! It's true that my sister-in-law is beautiful, but she looks so good that it's obvious that she's in love with the man."

"That's all we have to say today. I usually see Wenwen's family washing the sheets every now and then..." He said halfway, looking meaningfully at the sheets in Xu Wen's hand, "I was quite envious, but I didn't expect that Wenwen's sister-in-law and Lu Ying had such a good relationship that they could be so passionate even during the day."

Although she knew that this was a joke without any malicious intent, and that the sisters-in-law had just talked about their own anecdotes or complaints, and had opened their hearts first, Xu Wen was participating in such a private chat for the first time, and her face was flushed with embarrassment. It was not appropriate to leave at this time, so she could only try to change the topic: "Sisters-in-law, let's talk about something else? Don't scare the new sister-in-law."

At least it scared her.

Who knew Jiang Yiyi shook her head and replied: "It doesn't matter! Besides, I already knew it."

Xu Wen caught the key word: "Morning?"

Jiang Yiyi nodded. "I live next door to you. When I first arrived, I was particularly envious of your yard. Li Mao said that Lu Ying arranged it for you. He also said that you are amazing. I have always been curious about you, but I haven't had the chance to meet you." After a pause, he added cryptically, "The wooden house is not soundproof."

Xu Wen only felt a loud explosion in her head, which made her mind go blank, and blood rushed to her face.

I was so embarrassed that I wanted to dive into the lake nearby.

Lu Yuanzheng was very upset. He knew that someone had moved in next door but he still didn't know how to restrain himself.

After careful recollection, Jiang Yiyi had moved in about three days ago, and she seemed to have done it with Lu Yuanzheng every day during these three days.

Xu Wen couldn't help but increase the strength of scrubbing the sheets, and swore with gritted teeth that if he touched Lu Yuanzheng again tonight, he would be a pig!

Xu Wen didn't know what to say. Her bed sheets were indeed changed frequently, and it was only that one spot that was dirty. Since everyone had seen through it, she was too lazy to fix it again. She just scrunched it up a couple of times, poured out the dirty water, and changed the sheets again and rinsed them.

It didn't matter whether the sheets were clean or not, she just wanted to leave this socially dead scene as soon as possible.

Who knew that Jiang Yiyi would reveal another sentence to resolve Xu Wen's dilemma of being teased by the group, "I don't think it's a big deal. Isn't this the charm of love? Besides, it's also a normal physiological need for men and women. Li Mao and I also had sex. They say that people quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed, and that's really the case with us. Once when we were having a fight and we were doing that, I even asked him to do push-ups!"

Mrs. Xu gossiped, "Doing push-ups on the bed?"

Jiang Yiyi nodded, "Yes, I lay flat on my back and he did push-ups on top of me. When he came down, he not only did it but also kissed me. They usually train so much, their physical fitness is very good!"

Xu asked: "..."

The key point is whether you have good physical fitness?

Who can think of this posture?

Even Xu Wen, who has been exposed to the Internet, only knows some artistic postures besides the normal lying, side, and prone positions, such as the Guanyin sitting on the lotus position.

All right! Xu Wen admitted that he was a little curious. Not only was he curious, he also wanted to give it a try.

She shook her head quickly to get rid of this inappropriate thought.

Curious, Xu wasn't the only one who asked. Mrs. Xu also asked another sister-in-law about the details.

For example, can I really get in in this position?

How long can it last?

Jiang Yiyi actually answered.

Isn't this girl too open-minded? Xu Wen thought to himself.

Jiang Yiyi not only blew herself up, but also did not spare Wang Lingling, who was about to lower her head into the basin, "Sister-in-law, where are you and Squad Leader Wang?"

"I...I..." Wang Lingling stopped washing clothes, feeling shy and embarrassed. Seeing that everyone else had said it, it would be inappropriate for her not to say it. If she really wanted to say it, she was too embarrassed to speak. She could only mutter for a long time, "Isn't this just for the sake of having a child?"

Turning off the lights is like doing a task.

Jiang Yiyi shook her head: "That's right! A harmonious married life can enhance feelings! Just like Xu Wen's wife and Lu Ying, everyone can see how good their relationship is!"

Xu asked: "..."

It's just like she and Lu Yuanzheng rely on this kind of thing to maintain their relationship.

But Xu Wen did not refute, not because she did not dare but because she did not want to talk in depth. She took a deep breath and asked Jiang Yiyi only one question: "Sister-in-law, what major did you study?"

"Nursing."

Xu Wen said "Oh".

No wonder things that others are ashamed to talk about are as natural to her as eating and drinking.

I have a thorough understanding of the structure of the human body.

She had a friend who studied nursing, and the private parts of men and women were also part of the textbooks.

When I was taking related courses, the teacher kept talking about the specific names of the locations.

My friend said that at the beginning of the class, everyone was shy and would change seats on their own initiative, with boys sitting with boys and girls sitting with girls.

After a long time and after hearing it so many times, it doesn't matter anymore.

Xu Wen hurriedly washed the sheets, said goodbye, and left the open and private chat of these virtuous sisters-in-law. He breathed a sigh of relief only after he walked away.

******

After washing clothes at the river, Xu Wen locked himself at home and didn't go out for several days.

Nor let Lu Yuanzheng touch him.

Of course I won't do that if the journey is long, I will ask for the reason.

Xu Wen briefly recounted the content of their conversation while washing clothes by the lake that day, blurring out the names of the people.

Lu Yuanzheng was also speechless: "You women actually talk about this in private?"

"Don't you men chat?" Xu Wen retorted.

She just didn't believe that they were like monks, who had no desires except working every day.

Lu Yuanzheng thought for a moment, "We talked less on the island. The women here are either sisters-in-law or children, so there's not much to talk about. At most, we gossip about someone's unmarried partner when they write to us. We talked more on land before. For example, if we saw a pretty girl on the road when we were out, we would come back and chat with her. When we were on the battlefield, we didn't know if we could come back, so we would joke around and say some dirty talk during breaks, but not as in-depth as you guys."

"What about you? After serving in the army for so many years, have you ever found a girl you like?"

"Yes!" Lu Yuanzheng answered smoothly, "You."

Xu Wen glanced at him and asked, "Why don't you believe it?"

Lu Yuanzheng knew that women were creatures who would always take the blame even if they were not right, and were even better at making up stories. He touched the tip of his nose, moved away from the danger, and changed the subject: "I see you've started writing and painting again these few days. What are you researching?"

Xu Wen pushed back the hair that was blowing in front of his eyes and tucked it behind his ears. He did not answer but asked, "Have you heard of the wooden ox and the flowing horse?"

"Who hasn't heard of this? The wooden mechanical ox and horse invented by Zhuge Liang that can move automatically and carry 300 kilograms of grain?"

"right."

Lu Yuanzheng walked behind her and looked down at her drawing some parts on the notebook. Some of them were marked with words, such as upper bar, lower bar, circle and other professional terms.

He asked suspiciously, "You are not going to make wooden oxen and flowing horses, are you? Isn't it said that wooden oxen and flowing horses are hard to tell whether they are real or fake and have never been verified?"

"It's hard to tell when the wooden ox and horse appeared, but it's not impossible to make this kind of cart move automatically. It's mainly based on the lever principle in physics. I studied it and it's not that complicated. It can be realized by installing a set of linkage levers."

The so-called research is to learn from the magic mirror in the name of children wanting to make handicrafts.

Lu Yuanzheng asked Xu Wen to take out the notebook and carefully flipped through a few pages. "This is suitable for Shu. The mountain roads are difficult to walk on. Why do you want to make this on an island?"

Xu Wen stood up and pinched his shoulder lightly.

In return, Lu Yuan frowned and hissed.

There were bright red bloodstains on both of Lu Yuanzheng's shoulders.

Not only during long expeditions, but sometimes when Xu Wen went to the canteen, he saw soldiers with bare chests or wearing only undershirts during their breaks having such problems on their shoulders.

This is caused by carrying heavy objects on your shoulders.

They are repairing the road recently, probably by carrying stones.

Xu Wen was of course heartbroken when he saw this, so he wondered if he could make a self-driving car to help them transport the stones.

After listening to this, Lu Yuanzheng held Xu Wen in his arms and said nothing.

I am usually poor, but when I am really touched I don’t know what to say.

After a while, Lu Yuanzheng put down the blueprint and said, "Wife, I appreciate your kindness, but this is not very practical. When other people march to war, they have to cross mountains and ridges to transport food, which may save manpower and material resources. Although we are also quarrying stones in the mountains, our place is only the size of a palm, and there are not many steps to walk. Besides, general mechanical things are relatively slow. If this thing sways and delivers a cart of stones, when will we be able to complete the road?

The mountains on our island are not very high, so we can usually handle them with a unicycle."

Lu Yuanzheng pointed to his shoulder and said, "It's because the road is muddy after rain and the wheelbarrow can't pass through, so I have to carry it on my shoulder. Most of the road has been repaired, and it won't be so tiring when it's finished."

Xu Wen thought about it, and put down the pen in a somewhat dour manner. Lu Yuanzheng was not trying to hit her, what he said was all true. He just didn't want her to waste her time.

After a while, he regained his fighting spirit: "The wooden ox and the flowing horse are from ancient times, so of course they are slow. Wouldn't it be faster if we made an electric one?"

"Electric what? Electric car?"

Xu Wen nodded.

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

Finally, I gave her a sentence: "You may not be big, but your heart is not small."

He doesn't know what the future holds, but he knows the conditions now.

Xu Wen puffed up his cheeks and made a bet with Lu Yuanzheng: "Just tell me what you will do if I do it?"

Lu Yuanzheng lay back and threw himself onto the bed, "Do whatever you want!"

The implication is obvious.

Xu asked: "..."

She gave him an eye other than the black pupil, "Ha! It's been a long journey, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet!"

Lu Yuanzheng wanted to ask, "What's the matter?" He looked up and saw Xu Wen looking at the next door. He said guiltily, "I reminded you to keep your voice down!"

If he hadn't said that to Xu Wen, she wouldn't have been that angry. But after he said that, Xu Wen became even angrier and raised his hand to throw the notebook over.

Lu Yuanzheng turned his head away and said nothing.

A real man should be able to bend and stretch, and should keep his mouth shut when necessary.

Xu Wen puffed up his cheeks and glared at him. After a while, he suddenly had an idea.

He pointed his index finger at Lu Yuanzheng and said, "Okay! Comrade Lu Yuanzheng, you must keep your word! If I really make the electric car, you will do whatever I tell you to do!"

Lu Yuanzheng nodded and said only: "You know my professional constraints, other than that, anything is fine. What if you lose?"

Xu Wen gritted his teeth and said, "I'll do whatever you tell me to do!"

Lu Yuanzheng was amused: "You must keep your word! You can't regret it later."

******

For Xu Wen, the biggest problem with electric vehicles is the battery problem.

She doesn't want to make an electric car that can travel at hundreds of kilometers per hour. She just wants to modify an ordinary pedal tricycle.

Of course, the tires need to be changed to the kind of tires for beach bikes or mountain bikes.

These are not difficult.

For example, converting a bicycle into an electric vehicle is nothing more than installing an electric motor instead of the pedals.

But where does the electricity for the motor come from?

battery.

Xu Wen's communication with the magic mirror was similar to searching online for how to DIY a battery.

Xu Wen is a genuine top student after all. He has the video tutorials provided by Magic Mirror, and all he lacks is the raw materials.

The most difficult part is the raw materials.

Xu Wen asked Lu Yuanzheng to help buy the necessary raw materials while preparing to make the car body.

The purpose of making an electric car is to be practical, to transport stones. So the body of the car is simply made into a car, with wheels added. A steering wheel and handrails are installed at the back, and an old bicycle seat is found and assembled on top.

Although Xu Wen was the one who did it, the ones who actually did the work were mostly Lu Yuanzheng and Dongsheng who volunteered to help.

Lu Yuanzheng sighed as he worked: "Why do I feel like I've been sold out by you and I'm still counting your money?"

It was clearly a bet between the two of them, and he should have hoped that Xu Wen would lose, but instead he was helping his opponent to win.

Sitting under a parasol, holding a bowl of iced fruit, Xu Wen, the supervisor, giggled until tears came out of his eyes, and asked him in a feigned anger, "Do you have any opinion?"

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, "No opinion!"

How dare I have any opinion?

Just because of Jiang Yiyi's few words, he has been a monk for a week.

And the trend is not over yet.

The journey is long and I sigh, when will days like this end?

******

National Day arrived before Xu Wen’s electric car came out.

On the eve of National Day, a welcoming banquet was held.

To welcome the new sisters-in-law who have arrived on the island.

Perhaps the new welfare has taken effect. The soldiers' allowances and subsidies combined can catch up with some local cadres, and the pressure of supporting a family is much less. In addition, there are special benefits for wives of soldiers, so it is inevitable that many people will be tempted.

After Jiang Yiyi and Wang Ying, another forty or fifty sisters-in-law came to the island.

The wooden house area is very busy now.

Most of them are very young and just got married. Even if they have children, they are very young, and the oldest is no more than the same age as Dongsheng and his friends.

Most of the older sisters-in-law leave their children at home and come to the island to have a second or third child.

They arrived at the right time, as the food and vegetables that the kitchen staff had worked so hard to grow for a long time were finally harvested, so life was not as hard as it had been when they first arrived.

Although the planted fruit trees have not yet borne fruit, there are many wild fruit trees on the island.

The most important thing is that the chickens, ducks, geese and pigs we raise are all very good and edible.

The kitchen team wanted to have a buffet like they did last time when Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen got married.

After all, my sisters-in-law had just arrived on the island, and I couldn’t figure out their tastes, so I made more of what they wanted to eat.

Xu Wen gave a suggestion: eat barbecue.

Grilled kebabs and fish.

This way the people in the kitchen won’t have to work so hard.

The big pot of vegetables is still vegetables. It's such a hot day, and it's quite hot to wash and cut them and walk around the stove.

Feeding thousands of people is also a problem.

Grilling skewers is easy. You just need to cut the meat and vegetables, marinate them, and put them on skewers.

I have made grilled fish several times.

The charcoal only needs to be burned a few days in advance when cooking.

Of course, she could only give advice to Lu Yuanzheng, and it was not her turn to interrupt the kitchen staff.

Lu Yuanzheng thought it was feasible, so he called the squad leaders of each cooking squad together to discuss the matter.

The squad leaders all applauded after hearing this.

"That's great! There's meat and vegetables, and you can choose the right seasoning. It's so lively when we gather together to eat and drink."

"It saves us trouble because we don't have to light a fire to cook."

"I thought the buffet last time was awesome! This is the first time I've participated in a group activity during a meal in all my time in the kitchen!"

"That's right, everyone can feed themselves, and we only need to prepare the ingredients, and we can still eat with them."

"Mrs. Xu Wen is really smart! As expected of a college student, everything she thinks about and does is very reliable! It saves time and effort."

"That's because Sister Xu Wen cares about us! She always wants to make things easier for us!"

Lu Yuanzheng knocked on the table to remind them: "Watch your words! I'm not feeling sorry for you, I'm feeling sorry for me! Give me some advice. I'm her husband!"

The author has something to say:

The next big bet is about 12 points.

The laundry talk only represents those paper people, don't get too realistic
