After deciding to go to Hainan Island, Xia Ruzheng began to prepare.
In addition to buying swimsuits and summer clothes, you also need to do a good job of sun protection. However, it is not easy for Chinese women to know how to apply things on their faces, let alone know how to protect themselves from the sun. Therefore, there are not many sunscreen products on the market. Xia Ruzheng wanted to buy sunscreen, so he asked someone to use his connections to get some for him.
It’s just that there is no internet nowadays, and we can’t book air tickets and hotels in advance, which is indeed inconvenient.
However, Wen Zhichao had a business friend who had been to Hainan Island. When he heard that Xia Ruzheng wanted to go, he provided the phone number of a good local hotel so that he could book the hotel in advance, which solved some of the trouble.
After carefully inquiring about the hotel's conditions, Xia Ruzheng felt that the hotel's cost-effectiveness was quite good. After all, their group included children and elderly people, and the living and eating conditions could not be too bad.
Xia Ruzheng told this matter to his sister as a joke, and Xia Ruqian also told it to Liu Guoqing as a topic of conversation. The speaker did not mean it, but the listener took it seriously. That's a story for later.
In early August, the group booked tickets and flew to Hainan.
It is not easy to go to Hainan Island. You have to cross the sea. It is said that trains all come from Hainan by ferry.
However, the scenery in Hainan is indeed very beautiful. Although it is also a tropical area, it does not have the stuffy feeling of the mainland. When the sea breeze blows, it is very refreshing and pleasant.
After getting off the plane in Haikou, the group went directly to Sanya. The Sanya hotel also sent a car to pick them up. The service was really good.
After checking in, Xia Ruzheng and the children arrived at their room, only to discover it was a sea view room. Because they were a large group, they had booked a two-story, private courtyard house, nestled among the other houses. There was a swimming pool in the middle for lounging, swimming, or partying.
The three older boys shared a room, and the two girls shared another. Xia Ruzheng had originally planned to share a room with Dudu and Yingying, but Dudu insisted on living alone. He was truly courageous; none of his older brothers or sisters lived alone. Xia Chunfu was worried his grandson might be upset, so he offered to let him live with him. Dudu refused, insisting he must live on his own.
Fortunately there are many rooms, otherwise there would not be enough space.
Needless to say, the hotel's services were excellent. In addition to the very advanced water and electricity supply, there was a constant supply of tropical fruits 24 hours a day, and there were also many drinks in the refrigerator. When the children saw the cola and soda, they jumped for joy. Xia Ruzheng stipulated that they could not drink too much, but it did not diminish their joy much.
After arranging the affairs, it’s time to go eat.
The purpose of coming to Hainan is to eat tropical fruits and seafood. The hotel also has dining services, but everyone prefers to eat out, so they rented two cars from the hotel. The two sisters drove one each and took everyone out to eat.
Today, Hainan's food industry has begun to take shape. Although it is not as prosperous as in later generations, it has the advantage of being fair and authentic in price, and you won't spend thousands of yuan on a meal.
The children were very excited when they saw the fresh seafood. There is also seafood to eat in Guangzhou, and compared with the inland, it is very fresh and relatively cheap, but it is still a little worse than Hainan Island.
After the meal, everyone basically ordered all the special foods.
After the big meal, we went to the beach.
Nowadays, there are few people on the beaches of Hainan Island, and the water is clean and unpolluted. Children are very excited when they see the sea, because they have all learned songs like "Ocean, Mother", and there are many descriptions of the sea in reading materials, so everyone still yearns for the sea. Now that the sea is in front of them, they are naturally very excited.
After changing into their swimsuits and grabbing lifebuoys, they jumped into the sea one by one.
Xia Chunfu was old and didn't want to make a fuss, so he just sat on the beach drinking a drink and basking in the sun. Xia Ruzheng and Xia Ruqian hurried to see the children. Yingying was also very excited. She wore a swimsuit with a small dress and flapped her short legs to go into the sea. Xia Ruzheng took her to play slowly in the shallow water.
Xia Ruzheng was quite relieved about the other children. Not to mention the two girls, they had been very obedient since childhood and of course would not take risks. As for the boys, except for Tian Siqi who had a bit of a naughty gene, the other two were fine. After coming out, Xia Ruzheng had already given the children a serious safety education class, so Xia Ruzheng did not watch the children too closely at this time.
Yingying wore a lifebuoy around her waist and swam slowly in the sea with the help of Xia Ruzheng. Sometimes when she saw shells or something like that on the seabed, she couldn't help picking them up. There were also some crawling crabs. Now the crabs on the beach have also learned their lesson and hide among the rocks and don't come out at all.
After having fun at the beach for an entire afternoon, everyone was reluctant to leave when the setting sun cast its rays.
"Mom, I want to go to the beach to play again." The baby acted coquettishly to Xia Ruzheng.
Xia Ruzheng said as he drove, "Well, we can discuss the itinerary. I see everyone is so happy, they must want to go back and play."
When we arrived at the hotel, everyone took a shower, ordered some food and ate, and it was already dark.
It is summer now and it gets dark late. When it is completely dark, it is already nine o'clock in the evening.
The lights under the hotel were on, and it seemed that they were not just for decoration, but also had other functions. After the waiter explained, I learned that the hotel had some programs.
"These are very authentic Aboriginal performances that you won't be able to see outside of Hainan."
Since I have nothing to do at night, I might as well go and take a look.
So we all went out together and found that it was indeed a performance by Hainan natives, including singing and dancing, which was quite interesting.
