"Thank you, sister-in-law." Shen Li smiled softly with her lips bent. Her eyes were bright and shining, dark and soft.
The sisters-in-law looked at Shen Li in a daze.
No wonder Li Mei is spoiled by Lu Jingchuan. With a look like this, all the women like her, not to mention the men!
I, however, was not destined to be spoiled!
The sisters-in-law helped Shen Li pick durians, and soon the sack was full of durians.
The skin of the durian is thick and heavy, and has sharp thorns that can easily hurt your hands. Although it was packed in a sack, many of the durian thorns had already penetrated the sack and come out.
"Li Mei, let me take it back for you." Said Narcissus Sister.
"I'm already very grateful to you all for helping me pick durians. How can I do this?" Shen Li felt that these sisters-in-law were so enthusiastic, kind and simple!
She loves the atmosphere on the island!
"What's the big deal? We should all help each other." Narcissus picked up one corner of the sack without saying anything. Shen Li picked up the other corner of the sack and walked towards the courtyard of Shen Li's house.
At this time, there was already a sunset glow at the junction of the sea and the sky. The orange-red setting sun floated on the sea, covering the entire sea with a layer of shimmering golden light. This scene looked like a sea of orange.
"When the tide goes out later, we will go home to pack our things and wait for you at the beach." said the other sisters-in-law.
"Okay. See you later." Shen Li waved goodbye to them with her other hand and smiled.
Soon, Shen Li and Narcissus returned home.
Because they were going to the sea and time was precious, Shen Li did not take out the durians and placed the sack containing the durians in a corner of the kitchen.
"Sister Narcissus, let's go to the sea!" Shen Li said, and found rubber shoes, rubber gloves, a shovel, and a large bucket.
"Okay, then I'll go home first, and we'll meet at the beach later!" Narcissus said with a smile.
"Yeah!" After watching Narcissus leave, Shen Li mixed the light green silk headband with her own hair to weave a soft and fluffy side braid, creating a high top, and fixed it with a small bow. Her hair hung obediently on her chest so as not to delay her from catching up with the sea.
Shen Li put on rubber gloves, rubber shoes, and took a bucket. Before leaving, she also took the camera that Lu Jingchuan bought for her and hung it around her neck.
The orange sea at night is so beautiful, she wants to take some nice photos!
When Shen Li arrived, the sisters-in-law were already there.
At this time, the sea water was surging, wave after wave was hitting the shore, the sky was shrouded in a layer of light gold, the sea surface was sparkling, and was dyed with a layer of gorgeous light gold by the afterglow of the setting sun. The setting sun floated on the sea surface, like a dream, so beautiful that it was breathtaking. The coconut trees and banana trees not far away were swaying slightly, casting a shadow on the sea.
The sea breeze is cool and refreshing, making me feel very comfortable.
"Pear sister is here!"
"Li Mei, how do you braid your hair? How do you get this ribbon into your hair and braid it?"
"When I braided my hair before, the back of my head was flat and the top of my head was flat, but Li Mei's braid is very fluffy and beautiful, like a little prince. How did you braid it?"
The sisters-in-law all looked at Shen Li's hairstyle with envy.
Shen Li chuckled, "Sisters-in-law, next time we have a chance, I will teach you how to weave."
"Great, Li Mei is really smart and clever." Narcissus said with a smile, "She can cook delicious food and dress up. Captain Lu is so lucky!"
"Who said it wasn't true?" the big guy boasted with a smile.
"Li Mei, please teach me how to do this hairstyle later!"
"Well! Don't worry, everyone, come to my house when you are free, I will teach you, I promise you will learn it all." Shen Li smiled, she really liked making friends with these warm-hearted and simple sisters-in-law.
She was very happy to see everyone chatting and laughing.
Shen Li put down the small bucket, took off the camera from her neck, pointed it at the sunset, and took a picture.
"Li Mei, what is this?" Narcissus asked in surprise, "It looks like a small box, and it glows."
"This is called a camera." Shen Li said with a smile, "My boyfriend bought it for me."
"What is a camera?" another sister-in-law came over and asked curiously.
"This is a camera. Look, I just took a picture of the sunset over the sea." Shen Li took the photo from the camera and showed it to everyone.
Everyone came over curiously and was stunned by the images on the camera.
"This is so beautiful! It looks like they were carved from the same mold!"
"This is much better than what those painters draw! I took a picture of it in a snap. It's great!"
"Yeah, the photos are so beautiful! They look exactly like real life!"
Everyone looked at it curiously, but no one reached out to touch it.
The cameras of that year could not compare with the cameras of later generations in terms of performance and battery life, but they were sufficient for simple landscape and portrait photography.
Not far away, Liu Yan and her friends also came to catch up. Seeing that everyone was surrounding Shen Li like a star surrounding the moon, they were very angry.
"I want to see that thing, too." said a friend of Liu Yan.
"Me too. I've never seen a camera in my life."
"What are you looking at? What's so good about it?" Liu Yan glared at them. "It's just a broken camera, as if no one can afford it."
"Why don't you buy it if you can afford it?" one of the friends couldn't help but say.
"You..." Liu Yan glared angrily, "I don't want to buy it. I don't want to spend that money. I feel more at ease if I keep the money in my hands. I'm not like some people who don't make money, but spend men's money."
Liu Yan raised her voice a little, deliberately letting others hear, "Some people dress up beautifully and buy cameras. Isn't it all the money of the old men at home? The old men work hard outside for training, and all the money is wasted by her! It's really unlucky to marry such a wife. There is no money that can be wasted by her!"
When Shen Li heard this, she smiled and said, "My man is happy to spend money on me. He said that men earn money to spend on women. If you have the ability, let your man spend money on you."
"You..." Liu Yan stared angrily.
In fact, she does not have control over the finances at home, as the money is held by her partner. When she spends money, she and her husband are the type to spend every penny wisely. Every month, after giving her living expenses, her partner will ask where the money was spent and what was bought. He will also review the situation and tell her where she must save.
It is not okay to buy a camera like Shen Li did.
There are only a few of these things in the country, and they are probably all imported from abroad.
This is not cheap.
"Some people are so idle that they have nothing to do." Liu Yan was unwilling to give up and continued, "Since she is not developing the seafood transport vehicle, she should focus on researching it. Instead, she is cooking and drinking at home, and even has the energy to go fishing and take pictures. It seems that she herself thinks that the seafood transport vehicle is not worth developing, so she just gives up."
"No, you don't have the final say." Shen Li said indifferently, "Who do you think you are to be whining here? You haven't brushed your teeth in a few days. I can smell the stench from such a distance."
