Chapter 185: Everything You See Is Beautiful
When I looked up, I saw a female comrade and two little boys pushing the door open, carrying a lot of bags.
"Mom, this place is so big, brother, come and see."
One of the older boys started making a lot of noise as soon as he entered the room.
The other younger boy was shy. He just smiled and said nothing, holding his brother's hand tightly.
Perhaps because he saw someone on the upper bunk, the older child spoke in a lower voice.
The female comrade wiped the sweat off her face and smiled apologetically at Lin Xiaotong who was lying on the upper bunk opposite.
She didn't take it seriously. Yu Guangzhong noticed that the two children's clothes were not made of very good material, but they were kept very clean.
The family member must be a clean person. After putting the luggage away, the three of them sat on the lower bunk opposite.
The two little ones sat on the bed obediently, their short legs dangling.
"Mom's going to get some hot water. You two just sit here and be good. Got it?"
My brother nodded and said crisply, "Yeah, I promise I won't run around."
My brother nodded silently to my mother.
Lin Xiaotong was weaving a red rope on the child's upper bunk. Just as she was about to finish, she heard her brother calling her.
"Beautiful sister, what are you playing?"
She was stunned and turned her head to look over, only to be met with curious glances from two pairs of big eyes.
Her first reaction was that the child was so sweet, so of course she liked him very much.
So he smiled and answered seriously: "I'm weaving ropes."
As she spoke, she waved her red rope.
My older brother was a bit braver and ran over, looking up and saying, "You are so awesome!"
The younger brother also came over with his short legs, maintaining the same posture as his older brother.
Lin Xiaotong suddenly felt full of confidence, and she looked at the finished product in her hands with her tail raised.
"Thank you, you have good taste."
Look, she is quite talented.
He lowered his head and smiled at the child in a friendly manner. After thinking for a moment, he took a cucumber from his pocket, leaned over the railing, and asked below:
"Do you want to eat cucumbers?"
In the summer, she rarely put small candies in her pockets. Cucumbers and tomatoes were her favorites.
"No, no, no."
My brother pursed his lips when he saw this, but still waved his hand to refuse.
Because their mother taught them never to eat anything given by strangers.
Otherwise I won’t be able to go home.
"All right then."
Lin Xiaotong didn't force it. It was a long cucumber that Gao Xiulan had washed and given to her before getting in the car.
When you break off a small piece with your hands and put it in your mouth, it will inevitably make a crunching sound.
The two little ones below gave me a resentful look.
"Would you like to eat it? I'll give you half."
She also knew that they would only feel at ease after she ate it.
"Thank you, beautiful sister."
"You're welcome."
Lin Xiaotong handed the remaining cucumbers to her brother, who took them with his little hands.
He broke it apart with his little hands, shared half with his brother, and sat side by side on the lower bunk.
When the female comrade came back, she saw it and smiled at Lin Xiaotong.
"Thank you, big sister."
"It's okay."
Lin Xiaotong continued to lie on the bed. After the two little ones finished eating the cucumbers, they were very quiet, watching the passing scenery by the window.
Lunch time arrived in a daze, and the conductor came over with the food cart.
"Comrade, I want a box lunch."
I was a little hungry, and the dishes were pretty average, but the crispy spicy radish next to the rice was quite delicious.
The female comrade also ordered two boxed lunches, which the three of them shared.
When the weather is hot, you can eat all the rice with pickles.
The train was shaking all over and there wasn't much to do on board.
I either sleep or stare at the scenery outside the window motionlessly, feeling very bored.
The next night, the mother and her two children got off the bus. Before leaving, the older brother and the younger brother waved to her.
Another man with a briefcase and fashionable clothes got on the car.
Except for going to the toilet to get hot water, Lin Xiaotong sat obediently on the upper bunk the rest of the time.
Finally, we waited until the third day and arrived on time at 11 o'clock in the morning.
The people in the car swarmed to the door. It was mid-June and the sun was very strong in the south.
After getting off the car, I was still not used to it and raised my right hand to block the glaring sunlight.
The backpack on his chest was held firmly in front of him, and his body squeezed out with the main group.
Relying on his height, he looked at the situation in front of him and suddenly saw a familiar figure outside.
The man named Xing may have also seen her and waved.
The smile on Lin Xiaotong's face grew even wider. After she squeezed out the sweat and wiped the sweat off her face, her clothes were already wrinkled.
The backpack that had just come out of my chest was taken away by someone, my arm was also held by someone, and there was another person beside me.
"When did you come?"
"It hasn't been a while. Are you hungry? Why don't we go eat first?"
The person who came was indeed Xie Yi. He was wearing a military uniform with his sleeves rolled up, revealing his strong arms.
"I'm not hungry, let's go back first."
The two finally came out and got into a pickup truck, the same one Lin Xiaotong had seen before.
"Okay, you're thirsty? Here, drink this."
Xie Yi handed over a can filled with clear water.
“Is this coconut milk?”
She took it and took a few sips. It tasted sweet and delicious. It was sweet coconut water, the kind that was freshly picked.
"Yes, if you are tired, take a nap first. I will call you when it's time. There is still some time."
"Okay, the train ride is killing me."
He stretched himself, tilted his head back and fell asleep, his arms unconsciously clasped around his body.
Xie Yi took a quick look, smiled, started the car and drove off.
…
"We're here already. Why are you driving so much slower than last time Xiong Chuan did? Did you take a detour?"
After getting off the car, Lin Xiaotong asked in confusion. She didn't feel any bumps even in her sleep, the car was very stable.
"No way! It's obviously my driving skills that are good."
He wouldn't say he was driving the slowest.
"Okay, okay, you're the best."
"That's right. I'm not bragging. When I was learning to drive, our leaders all praised me for my savvy."
The two of them boarded the boat and headed towards the island.
They were getting closer and closer, with the sea breeze blowing. Xie Yi looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he secretly held her hand.
The big hands hold the small hands, and no one is willing to let go.
Maybe it was because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so the two of them were a little uncomfortable at first. After all, having the person they missed right in front of them often seemed a little unreal.
Now that they were holding hands, Xie Yi's palms were burning hot, and they became warmer after being close for a long time.
"Let go, I'm hot."
"I'll switch hands."
"This hand is hot too."
"We'll be there soon."
"Let go, your palms are sweating."
"Here, wipe it on my clothes."
"Someone is coming, let go."
"When the person leaves, I'll switch hands. No one on this side can see."
…
The two of them held hands all the way down the boat, Xie Yi carrying the backpack in his left hand and holding Lin Xiaotong's hand with his right hand.
"I've cleaned up the yard. It's the same room you and mom lived in last time."
"Are you hungry now? I'll go to the cafeteria to see if there's any food left. You just wait for me at home."
Xie Yi kept on chattering, and Lin Xiaotong clenched her hands.
All I could see was the sunshine, the beach, the blue sky, and of course Xie Yi beside me.
Everything is beautiful.
