Opening her eyes, Chen Hong was reborn. She was reborn just before she was about to take her children back to her parents' home. Not wanting to live a life of looking at others' faces for a...
In the evening, everyone sat under the parasols on the deck, drinking fragrant tea and eating fruit and snacks.
Facing the sea, the sunset painted the sky and sea red, and they felt the magnificent vastness and tranquility of the setting sun's afterglow.
The sea is blue, the sunset is red, they brave the wind and waves, following their hearts and taking things as they come, rising and falling with the fishing boat on the sea!
On the boundless sea, colorful clouds surround the scene, welcoming the arrival of dusk, while several white seabirds chase after the snow-white waves.
Sometimes it will suddenly plunge into the sea, snatch a small silver fish, and leap into the air, its movements as agile as lightning.
Unlike the ferocity of land beasts, it possesses a unique agility in fighting on the sea and in the air, striking with deadly precision, elegant and swift!
Uncle Zhou said, "The ocean can embrace everything. Facing the ocean, everything becomes so small!"
Let go of all negative thoughts, face everything with an optimistic attitude, and empty your mind to embrace new challenges!
I'd heard people say that looking at the sea can lift your spirits, and it's certainly true!
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, facing the surging waves of the sea, one's mood becomes exceptionally calm!
Zhou Yi's father also said, "I've worked my whole life, and my brain has always been on edge. I've been working diligently and never dared to relax for a moment."
This sea voyage has been very rewarding!
Reading descriptions in books or watching movies and television videos is not as good as experiencing the ocean firsthand.
One hundred people, one hundred different feelings. Different seascapes evoke different feelings.
Xiao Xue was so overwhelmed by the beautiful sea view that he couldn't say a word. He could only keep circling the fishing boat with his digital camera.
I searched everywhere for the best angles to take photos, trying my best to capture the most beautiful seascape so I could take it back and enjoy it later!
Zhou Yi's mother also had many feelings: "I used to think that I would be satisfied with seeing the sea view on TV and in movies. It's no different from seeing it on the sea myself."
Only when you actually sail at sea do you realize how different it is to see the sea through someone else's eyes compared to seeing it with your own.
The sheer power and the overwhelming feeling of facing the waves are something you can't experience by watching it on television.
I have to thank Chen Hong a lot for taking the time to accompany us old folks on this sea trip. Otherwise, I would never have remembered going out to sea by boat.
Uncle Zhouyi nodded in agreement: "Yes! This child is so thoughtful, he has arranged everything for us, from food and entertainment to accommodation and transportation, in a very orderly manner."
This is true freedom of navigation!
Before I retired, I also went out to sea by boat. I was accompanied by a group of people, and everything was arranged in advance, including what to eat, where to go, and how long to stay.
That wasn't really a relaxing trip; it was more like socializing. There was almost no chance to properly appreciate the sea view.
Unlike this time, our family enjoyed a free trip, doing whatever we wanted and stopping wherever we wanted. Most importantly, we caught our own fish and ate our own food – I'm very satisfied!
"Brother, if your health permits, let's take a road trip by sea once a year!"
While the three of us are still able to move around, and the children can finally let go, we should make the most of our retirement life.
"It's good, but it's too much trouble for Chen Hong!"
Zhou Yi's mother casually remarked, "Once they become our own children, they're no longer a hassle!"
The two old men exchanged a glance, smiled slightly, and looked away, understanding each other without saying a word.
Yu Yang, who was standing nearby, seemed to sense something. He looked at the grandfather and then at the grandmother beside him, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
"Hey, Yu Yang, go ask your mom where we're spending the night?"
Oh no, I forgot there's a little rascal sitting next to me! The old lady felt a pang of regret; she had been too carried away.
Hopefully, the child won't repeat what his mother said, and Chen Hong will understand why they came. That would be so embarrassing!
They've been so kind to them, yet they're only thinking about helping their son scheme against them and bring them back to their own home. That seems a bit unfair!
The old lady, seeing Yu Yang talking to Chen Hong in the cabin, whispered to the two old men:
"Anyway, I've taken a liking to Chen Hong, and Zhou Yi likes her too."
Do you think we should go and formally propose marriage?
Brother, what's your suggestion? What do you think of Chen Hong? Is this a good idea?
Uncle Zhou: "So you only think of asking for my opinion now? Did you all have this planned in advance when you urged me to come to Yujia Village?"
Why aren't you hiding it from me anymore? When did Zhou Yi get in touch with Chen Hong? I've never heard of this.
"If you don't explain things to me in detail, what suggestions can I offer?" Even if I had suggestions, I wouldn't say them; it's better to let you worry about it!
Seeing his older brother's nonchalant demeanor, Zhou Yi's father had long seen through his gossipy nature.
The older brother, who's been around since childhood, can tell what his brother is going to do just by looking at him, and he's still pretending to be an idiot for him.
As a good younger brother, he could only satisfy his older brother's gossip: "Brother, don't pretend you don't know. I don't believe you can't see what my wife and I are thinking!"
We're not deliberately hiding it from you; you know perfectly well. This way, if things don't work out, you won't be caught in the middle and feel awkward.
