Zeng Guangxian returned to Yulin Bay with the Pearl, and within a few days, Wang Zhaoxing's second fleet also returned. Without any delay, the Joint Command immediately merged all the warships into a combined fleet.

The Combined Fleet has three sub-fleets under its jurisdiction. Zeng Guangxian was appointed commander of the Combined Fleet and commander of the sub-fleet directly under the command of the sub-fleet, which consisted of three warships with the strongest combat effectiveness, the Pearl and the two newly launched 1,000-ton ships Guangdong and Fujian. Zhao Dequan was the commander of the First Fleet, which still consisted of four warships in Singapore and was temporarily stationed in Singapore. Wang Zhaoxing was appointed commander of the Second Fleet, and in addition to the four warships that returned from Dengzhou, the Second Fleet also assigned two gunboats, the God and the Wanzhou, to the Second Fleet. The total number of warships of the entire combined fleet reached 13 units.

Leng Tianbing returned home after work, but he didn't see Li Lin, only Xiaojun sat alone in the house doing his homework.

"Xiaojun, where is your mother?" The cold day was tired and sat on the chair and didn't move.

Leng Yujun pouted in the direction of the bedroom: "It's inside, my mother didn't come out when she came back today." ”

Leng Tianbing had no choice but to stand up and walk into the bedroom, where Li Lin was sitting at the table writing something.

"What to write, I have to be busy after work." Leng Tianbing asked with a little weakness, he and Li Lin have been in a cold war for a while, and they usually don't say anything when the two of them don't guard Xiaojun.

Li Lin ignored Leng Tianbing, finished writing the things in his hand, and handed them to Leng Tianbing: "Sign it, agree to divorce." ”

Leng Tianbing took it and didn't even look at it, and threw it on the bed casually: "Okay, don't make trouble, I'm as tired as my grandson every day, and I don't have the heart to make this joke with you." ”

"Who was kidding you." Li Lin picked up the agreement and brought it to Leng Tianbing, "I'm serious, Xiaojun belongs to me, you can marry as many as you like, anyway, this is the Ming Dynasty, there is no bigamy." ”

"I'm serious too." Leng Tianbing pushed the agreement away, "Don't you look at what time it is, martial law is under siege in Yulin Bay, and we are about to fight a full-scale war." Xu Lang is not at home now, all the affairs of the General Staff are on me, and I don't have time to do this with you. ”

Speaking of Xu Lang, Li Lin became angry: "Don't mention this person to me, if he hadn't trumpeted you every day, would you have the idea of taking a concubine?" ”

"Can you talk about it?" Leng Tianbing was a little annoyed, "When did I say that I was going to take a concubine, I just said that I wanted to have another child, and if I can't have children, forget it, don't look for trouble." ”

"I just can't give birth anymore, I can't give you a child anymore, you go find someone who can give you a baby." Li Lin sat on the bed and cried.

Leng Tianbing was upset by his wife's crying, so he snatched the agreement and tore it to pieces: "I won't take a concubine, I'll guard you and Xiaojun for the rest of my life." Don't cry, okay, I beg you don't cry. ”

Li Lin was still sobbing lowly, Leng Tianbing stood up and picked up his coat again: "I'm back to the headquarters, I won't come back to sleep tonight." ”

Leng Tianbing went out and called the orderlies to return to the joint headquarters, but Xia Yang still did not get off work.

Seeing Leng Tianbing pushing the door in, Xia Yang asked strangely, "Why are you back again, are you still busy?" ”

"I wish I hadn't finished anything." Leng Tian sat down angrily and said, "Li Lin is messing with me at home again, I'm upset, can't I hide if I can't provoke it?" ”

"You said you." Xia Yang smiled, "It's really hard for me to say anything about this, anyway, you have to weigh it yourself." ”

"Okay, do you think that I am the same as you, I married a daughter-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, three from four virtues, and your daughter-in-law will not object if you marry a few more concubines."

"Why, envy. That Xu Lang also married Cheng Yiyi, so he still married two daughters-in-law. ”

"I'm not messing around with you." Leng Tianbing asked, "Why haven't you come home so late, I'm not afraid that your daughter-in-law will be in a hurry." ”

"I still have a document that I haven't read." Xia Yang pointed to the document on the table, "Qin Zhigang just sent it over today, and their Industrial Bureau made cement." ”

"They've got cement again?" Leng Tianbing stretched out his hand and took the document, "Can it work this time, the Industrial Bureau has reported it several times, but the quality of each time is not good, and it can't be used at all." ”

"I don't know exactly what it is." Xia Yang said, "But I think the parameters on the report should be okay." Di Chong is building a road now, and if it does work this time, we can have a concrete road. ”

"Tianyang." Leng Tianbing put down the cement matter, "Are you still living in Xu Lang's house now?" ”

"No, we've all moved back to our own homes. Although martial law is still in place, it is not as tense as it was a few days ago. Besides, Xu Lang is not at home now, his family is full of women, except for Lu Lao and Aunt He, we have all moved back to our own house. ”

"How is Old Lu's health now, the last time I had a meeting, I saw that the old man was a little tired."

"Ugh." Xia Yang sighed and said, "No matter how you say it, you are almost seventy people, and Lu Lao has really worried a lot about Yulin Bay over the years, and the old man has not enjoyed happiness in these years." ”

"But our Yulin Bay is really indispensable to Lu Lao." Leng Tianbing said, "The old man is our backbone, and without him at the helm, I feel unsure." ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Xia Yang closed the document, "Don't read it, I'll go to the Industrial Bureau tomorrow to see the sample." You can't go home, I'm going home. ”

"Hey, don't go." Leng Tianbing grabbed Xia Yang, "I finally managed to hide, don't leave me here alone, accompany me to have two drinks." ”

"Where are you going to drink now?" Xia Yang said with a smile, "Have you forgotten that martial law is still under curfew, after 7 o'clock in the evening, everyone is not allowed to go out, and all shops and restaurants are closed." ”

"I forgot." Leng Tianbing also smiled, "Do you say that Di Chong and them have been able to suffocate in the past few months, and the Qinglou is closed." ”

"You kid, no wonder Li Lin wants to divorce you, just think about something you shouldn't think." Xia Yang stopped laughing, "But our business has been too affected in the past few months." Sun Tianhao told me that the trade volume between Yulin Bay and Wanzhou as a whole has dropped by more than 30 percent. ”

"There's no way around it." Leng Tianbing said, "It's all mess with Tao Min." ”

Xia Yang stood up and asked, "You really don't plan to go home tonight?" ”

"If you don't go back, you have to be noisy when you go back."

"Then you go to my house, don't be here alone." Xia Yang pulled up the cold ice, "Go to my house to drink some, I'll accompany you to get drunk and rest." ”
