"It's so hot." Li Xiujuan couldn't help complaining after picking up the trash for a while.
It is already mid-July and the mornings on the island are getting hot. It is too hot to stay in the sun without moving, let alone go to the beach.
Since the weather has gotten hotter, there are fewer people coming to the beach to catch seafood, not as many as when it was cooler.
Li Xiujuan wiped the sweat off her face and kept glancing towards "Haiyun Cottage".
Ever since she tasted the sweetness of using the air conditioner in the store last time, she has been going there frequently recently.
Not to mention that the air conditioner is really cool. As soon as I entered, I could feel the heat all over my body being dispelled. It was like two different worlds inside and outside the door.
Otherwise, there are so many people in the store, and it’s so hot, who wouldn’t want to stay in that air-conditioned room?
"You've been picking up less and less seafood recently. Do you still want to make money?" Jiang Sisi noticed Li Xiujuan's intention and immediately shouted at her.
During this period, Li Xiujuan often went to the restaurant to use the air conditioning, and she saw it all.
Although she also wanted to go, she felt uncomfortable when she thought of Jiang Yushan working there.
Since she couldn't go, naturally she didn't want Li Xiujuan to go.
What's more, Li Xiujuan would be gone for half a day, so the work of catching seafood fell on her alone, so Jiang Sisi was naturally even more unwilling.
"You talk too much! What's your business but my business?" Li Xiujuan glared at her and cursed at her.
But seeing how she looked away, it seemed that she had given up the idea of using the air conditioner.
Jiang Sisi stopped talking and continued looking for seafood on the beach.
Li Xiujuan wandered for a long time under the scorching sun. The sunlight was like a ruthless tongue of fire, licking every inch of her skin, making her feel as if she was in a furnace.
Under the sunlight, the blood in my body seemed to boil, and sweat kept flowing down. No matter how many times I wiped it off, it was of no use.
The clothes were soaked with sweat, and the sticky feeling made Li Xiujuan very uncomfortable.
She looked up at Jiang Sisi not far away and confirmed that she was out fishing and hadn't noticed them. She suddenly felt a surge of joy at having escaped.
So, she took advantage of this opportunity, turned around and ran to "Haiyun Cottage", as if it was her only refuge at the moment.
She pushed the restaurant's curtain hard, and instantly, a cool air mixed with the rich aroma of food rushed towards her, like a downpour after a long drought, which brought great comfort to her body and mind.
The coolness seemed to be substantial, gently wrapping her up and dispelling the heat and fatigue from her body.
"Gurgle..."
Just then, Li Xiujuan's stomach made a loud noise.
The bowl of porridge that I hurriedly drank in the morning had long since turned into nothing after a long search and the scorching sun, leaving only an empty feeling of hunger.
Smelling the delicious food in the restaurant, her stomach naturally protested and clamored for food.
"Although the weather is getting hot, eating coconut chicken in an air-conditioned room still has a unique flavor." A customer walked leisurely past Li Xiujuan, holding a steaming coconut chicken that exuded an enticing aroma.
The rich coconut aroma and the delicious chicken intertwined together, like an invisible hook, drilling straight into Li Xiujuan's nose.
This caused her mouth to secrete saliva involuntarily, and the glutton in her stomach began to stir.
She swallowed and followed the tempting coconut chicken with her eyes until it disappeared from her sight.
"Speaking of this coconut chicken, it's the perfect match with a bowl of iced fruit salad! It's refreshing and refreshing, and it's simply irresistible!" Another voice sounded at the right time, with a bit of pride.
Then, the man ordered a bowl of fruit salad without hesitation. His decisiveness made Li Xiujuan envious.
After a while, a military wife came over with a bowl of crystal clear fruits. The colorful fruits in the bowl looked like a rainbow in summer, and each fruit exuded an attractive luster.
The cool air coming out of the bowl made Li Xiujuan feel as if a breeze was blowing through her heart, taking away all the heat and discomfort.
These two items have always been selling well in the store. She had been craving them for several days, but she had no money to buy them.
She came over to use the air conditioning, and sometimes she couldn't help but quietly took out money to buy soup dumplings or shrimp dumplings.
However, lunch is more expensive than breakfast, and she couldn't bear to spend so much money, so she could only watch and smell it.
Li Xiujuan took a deep breath, wanting to inhale more of the fragrance, as if this would alleviate the hunger in her stomach.
"Would you like some coconut chicken?" Jiang Yushan walked over and asked.
When she came out from the back after feeding the chickens, she saw Li Xiujuan staring at the customer's coconut chicken. Her greedy eyes made people wonder if she would grab it the next second.
Jiang Yushan learned from Hu Xiaowen and the others that Li Xiujuan often came to use the air conditioning. Looking at her appearance now, she couldn't help but worry that it would affect other guests.
After all, no one likes someone to stare at them while they eat.
"We sell a serving of coconut chicken in the store, which comes with rice. Would you like one?" Jiang Yushan had a decent smile on his face.
When Hu Xiaowen noticed this side, her heart immediately tightened and she hurried over.
She was really worried that Li Xiujuan would suddenly go crazy and hurt Jiang Yushan.
Li Xiujuan turned around when she heard the question, and was stunned at first when she saw Jiang Yushan's smiling face. Then she noticed her bulging belly and was even more shocked.
She had been pregnant before and knew that a belly like this would mean she had been pregnant for at least several months.
In an instant, she felt a little uncomfortable, especially when she saw Jiang Yushan becoming more and more beautiful. Even she was stunned for a while before she recovered from the smile on her face, and her mood became even more complicated.
These are all daughters of the Jiang family, and they got married at about the same time, so why is there such a big difference?
Li Xiujuan stared at Jiang Yushan's bulging belly, feeling both envious and secretly resentful of Jiang Sisi's unsatisfactory belly.
If she had known earlier, she should have married Jiang Yushan. She is beautiful, hardworking, and has a good fertility rate. She is a perfect match for Yingfan in their family.
Why did he marry that unlucky girl Jiang Sisi at that time?
"Do you want to buy coconut chicken?" Jiang Yushan asked again when she didn't say anything.
Noticing that Li Xiujuan was staring at her belly, Jiang Yushan took two steps back without saying a word.
Although she and Li Xiujuan had basically no intersection in this life, people would not care about that when they were jealous.
"No need." Li Xiujuan came back to her senses and shook her head.
She couldn't come up with the money, but she still had to save face. At least she couldn't lose face in front of the woman who sent her son to the police station.
Since she wasn't going to buy anything, she didn't stay in the store and turned to leave.
Although she left because she was so hungry after staying in the store and smelling the fragrance.
