Chapter 27 It’s me, don’t you remember?
"You're a very nice person. You make people feel safe and you're very handsome."
Yes, especially the last sentence, he is really handsome.
Xiao Jinchuan almost choked on the last sentence. He had seen reserved and reserved women before, but it was really rare to see someone so straightforward.
"Miss Song, are you there?"
Ge Jinglan's voice suddenly came from outside. Song Yunqing ate a few mouthfuls and walked out.
Xiao Jinchuan watched her wiping her mouth in a completely ungraceful manner and sighed silently in his heart. Sometimes he really felt that she was from a different world from him.
Ge Jinglan stood at the door, looking at the steamed bun crumbs still on the corner of Song Yunqing's mouth, and immediately felt a little embarrassed: "Did I come at the wrong time and disturb your meal?"
Song Yunqing quickly shook her head: "I've finished eating. Also, don't call me Miss Song anymore. It's strange. How about calling me Yunqing?"
Ge Jinglan was still a little shy: "Yunqing, don't call me Sister Ge from now on. Just call me Jinglan. I'm only a few years older than you."
Ge Jinglan was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. People of that generation got married early, so although she was only a few years older than her, she was already a mother.
"Have you eaten yet? Do you want to come in and have something to eat?"
Ge Jinglan quickly shook her head: "I've eaten, I just came to ask you, you said before that you wanted to go to the beach with me, I'm going tomorrow morning, do you want to go?"
Going to the sea!
Song Yunqing immediately became interested: "Of course I have to go. I have nothing to do tomorrow morning. You can call me and we can go together."
Ge Jinglan was also happy and agreed without hesitation.
"I'm not afraid this time since you're my companion."
Ge Jinglan's smile was a little faint. She didn't like to make close friends, so naturally she couldn't integrate into their world.
Many times she was the only one going to the beach.
"Don't worry, whatever you want to do in the future, just come to me and I'll accompany you. You're the first good friend I've made here."
Ge Jinglan was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears: "Okay, okay, I'll remember what you said. If I come to see you next time, you are not allowed to find me annoying."
Song Yunqing agreed to all of them.
"Wait a minute, I'll get you something."
She ran back into the house and headed straight for the kitchen.
"What are you looking for..."
Seeing that she was completely ignoring him, Xiao Jinchuan silently took back the rest of his words and started eating.
Why does it feel like she treats everyone better than herself?
After a while, Song Yunqing came out holding a small bottle.
"This is the hot sauce I made a few days ago. I was planning to send it to you. Try it and see if you like it. If you like it, I have more."
Ge Jinglan looked at the full cans and was a little flattered: "This is too expensive, I can't accept it."
As she said this, she pushed herself into Song Yunqing's arms.
"Just take it. I prepared this specially for you. I don't know if your family can handle spicy food, so I used a little less chili. Try it. If it's not spicy enough, remember to tell me and I'll put more next time."
Ge Jinglan no longer refused and went back with the chili sauce.
Song Yunqing clapped his hands and returned to the table to continue eating.
"How come I didn't know you fried chili sauce?"
"I fried it at noon today. I saw that the peppers have turned red. If I don't eat it now, it will go bad. I just fried it into chili sauce. It's easier to store."
Xiao Jinchuan silently finished the last bite of his steamed bun: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Song Yunqing said as if it was a matter of course: "Don't you think you can't eat chili peppers?"
Xiao Jinchuan: .....
“Actually…it’s not that inedible…”
"Okay, I'll make you some noodles tomorrow. Try them."
The next morning, Ge Jinglan came to the door and called her.
"Yunqing, hurry up and get up! The tide is low today!"
Song Yunqing hurriedly put on his coat, picked up the prepared tools and went out.
Qian Xiufen was so angry at the shout that she yelled outside.
"What are you shouting so early in the morning? Are you calling for the soul?"
Song Yunqing ignored her and casually handed Ge Jinglan a white flour bun.
"Eat quickly, you'll have the energy to play with me after you finish eating."
Ge Jinglan was a little surprised when she saw it. This was a white flour bun!
"You eat it, I've eaten at home."
She felt a little embarrassed. She had only asked her to go fishing, but he only gave her white flour buns.
"Just take it. Xiao Jinchuan and I have already eaten it. This is specially saved for you."
Xiao Jinchuan didn't let her be too ostentatious. Every time she felt craving for something, she would just steam a few buns to satisfy her craving, but she didn't dare to steam too many.
Ge Jinglan touched it again and again and said: "Let's pack it up and take it home to feed the child."
"No, I still have some. I'm saving it for the children. You can eat it. We adults should also be nicer to ourselves!"
Under her persuasion, Ge Jinglan finished eating the steamed bun and made a secret decision in her heart.
If I can find any good seafood today, I’ll give it all to Song Yunqing.
When we got to the beach, the tide had indeed receded.
Song Yunqing was carrying a bamboo basket, wearing coarse cloth clothes with his trouser legs rolled up to his knees, and walking barefoot on the beach.
The soft touch under her feet made her particularly excited.
Seeing her like this, Ge Jinglan knew she was just here to have fun. She was a little amused and said, "Why do you still look like a child? The two of us like to play in the sand when we take them to the beach."
"I haven't seen it before. I never had the chance to come to the beach before."
There was a hint of bitterness in Ge Jinglan's smile: "I don't have the chance to say that my life is good. We live by the sea. Sometimes it gets angry and kills a few people, but we still rely on it to survive."
Song Yunqing knew that she was talking about the previous typhoon, and her heart felt a little heavy.
"It's okay. Believe that the future will definitely get better."
Seeing her like this, Ge Jinglan couldn't help laughing out loud.
"why are you laughing?"
"You have such a tense face, you look like a little devil."
Song Yunqing pouted: "I won't tell you anymore."
She looked carefully under her feet and soon saw a large crab.
Just pick it up easily with tongs and throw it into a bamboo basket, and you can have a seafood feast tonight.
The two were chatting idly when they suddenly heard an argument coming from the front.
This beach is very large, and there are many people going to the beach in the distance.
"I was the first one to see this sea cucumber."
"Bullshit, I turned over the stone first, so of course it's mine."
"Are you playing rogue?"
"I'm just kidding, so what? First come, first served, understand?"
Song Yunqing and Ge Jinglan walked closer and saw two fishermen arguing over a fat sea cucumber.
One of them had a slender back, his skin was tanned by the sea breeze, and a faded copper coin with a red rope hung around his neck.
A familiar feeling flashed through my mind.
Song Yunqing tried hard to recall it, but didn't seem to have much impression.
"What's wrong? Do you know him?"
Song Yunqing shook his head: "I just feel like it looks a little familiar."
Ge Jinglan smiled and said, "Maybe I've seen it before. Quarrels are common, and sometimes they get so bad that they even end up fighting!"
Song Yunqing quickly pulled Ge Jinglan and tried to go around it.
"Then let's go quickly and don't get into trouble."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she heard a surprised voice from behind her.
"Yun Qing?"
Song Yunqing paused and turned his head suspiciously.
The man who was arguing fiercely just now changed his expression from shock to ecstasy.
He took two steps at a time and walked up to Song Yunqing, his dark eyes sparkling.
The man had a short haircut, looking wild and untamable, his skin had been rubbed into a bronze color by the sea breeze and the scorching sun for many years, and he was thin but strong.
"Yun Qing, it's me, don't you recognize me?"
Song Yunqing's heart trembled. Could this be someone the original owner knew? But she couldn't find him in the original owner's memory.
What should I do? Will my identity be exposed if I can’t recognize him?
Song Yunqing bit her lip nervously and was thinking of how to get away with it when Ge Jinglan suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of her.
She looked at him warily: "Who are you? Don't try to get close to me here. Are you planning something bad?"
Seeing Song Yunqing's defensive look, the smile on his face faded: "You really don't remember me?"
"Should I...know you?"
The man stepped forward and pulled off the red string around his neck: "What about this? Did you forget it too?"
Song Yunqing stared at the copper coin, as if some memories were about to burst out of his mind.
"Me, Jiang Lei, have you really forgotten?"
"Jiang Lei..."
A long-forgotten memory suddenly popped into Song Yunqing's mind.
Twelve-year-old Song Yunqing squatted in the courtyard of the Shikumen house, her white skirt covered with mud spots.
I was teasing a cricket with a broken leg with a branch when a shadow suddenly fell over my head.
"Stupid, he won't survive."
Thirteen-year-old Jiang Lei, carrying a tin bucket, water dripping from his trouser legs, said, "Look at the crabs I caught!"
Little Song Yunqing tilted her head and looked at him: "Who are you?"
"My name is Jiang Lei, and I'm new here."
"Jiang Lei!"
The two voices overlapped, and the person in front of him finally matched the little devil in his memory.
"It's you. We haven't seen each other for many years. I didn't recognize you."
Seeing that she remembered, Jiang Lei grinned and let out a smug laugh.
"I said, how could you possibly forget me? Even if you did, you certainly wouldn't forget this copper coin."
Song Yunqing remembered that Jiang Lei's family left shortly after they moved in. Before leaving, little Song Yunqing gave the only copper coin he had to his best playmate.
"Your family moved away in such a hurry that you didn't even think of leaving any contact information."
Jiang Lei no longer had the fierceness he had just now, and the smile on his face never faded.
"My dad had a job transfer that year. There was nothing we could do. The order from above came in a hurry. Now that I think about it, we haven't seen each other for almost seven or eight years. I didn't expect you to have grown so tall."
Jiang Lei stretched out his hand and pointed at the top of Song Yunqing's head: "I remember you were still a little dwarf back then."
"Nonsense, I'm not a dwarf."
"Okay, you're not, I am, okay?"
Song Yunqing looked at the 1.80 meter tall man and ignored him.
Jiang Lei looked at her face, his heart as sweet as honey: "Actually, I went back once a few days ago, but your parents said you were taken away, and they didn't tell me the details."
"But didn't they ask you to go to Jing City? Why are you here?"
Before Song Yunqing could say anything, Ge Jinglan felt something was wrong and quickly said, "Her husband has been transferred to lead the island, so Yunqing must be coming with him!"
"What?"
