"That's not right. I know everything, so how could you all be in the army and not know? Is this girl stupid?"
"Sister-in-law!" Zhao Mei's voice deliberately fell, and her face turned grim. "Whether they like it or not is their business. Besides, this is the army. Captain Ji was gloriously injured for the country and the people. Why does it sound so different when you say it?"
"Yes, yes, yes! I was wrong."
"As a family member of a soldier, although we don't require you to be like the soldiers, you should at least have the necessary awareness."
"My sister-in-law said the wrong thing. I just care about you. Now that you know the situation, it's enough. I have something else to do at home, so I'll leave first."
Zhao Mei raised the corner of her mouth as she watched Li Wenying leave in disgrace.
The matter about Ji Huaian did spread privately.
However, the aloof Miss Wu Xuelan simply disdained to join in with everyone.
Most of the things were learned from her.
As for how and how much this message should be spread, it is naturally up to her to decide!
…
As soon as Ji Huaian entered the door, he found that the front yard was different from before.
There is a flower bed on the right side, and the soil has been renovated.
"What is this?"
"I finished the blueprint two days ago. I wanted to discuss it with you in advance, but you had something else to do, so this is a nice surprise. Do you like it?"
"Very good, but it's too hard for you."
"No, I have help!"
"helper?"
Ji Huaian was just wondering when he heard a faint noise coming from the backyard.
When I walked over to take a look, I saw that it was Lin Jinbao playing with Xiaofeng.
Both of them are very happy!
"Have the educated youth already arrived in the countryside?"
"Just arrived yesterday."
Speaking of yesterday, Ji Huaian felt even more regretful.
I should have known not to bother with this!
Moreover, the backyard has been renovated. The entire right side has been cultivated, a grape trellis has been built on the left side, and flowers have been planted on the back wall. The whole yard looks lively.
Lin Jiaojiao is worthy of her name. Everything becomes different in her hands!
Just like who she is.
"Dad! Mom!"
When Xiaofeng saw them, he immediately rushed over excitedly.
Lin Jinbao saw clearly the person standing next to Lin Jiaojiao, quickly straightened his clothes, and stepped forward to greet him: "Brother-in-law is back!"
In the past two days, he had found time to listen to the aunt next door talk about many heroic deeds of his brother-in-law.
You can’t judge a book by its cover!
Despite his young age, he participated in so many battles and was crowned the military champion for three consecutive terms.
That’s the King of Soldiers!
He now felt that Ji Huaian was glowing all over, and that a man should be like his brother-in-law!
"I heard from your sister. You've helped the family a lot since you came here. Thank you for your hard work!"
"How could that be? Helping my sister and brother-in-law is my job!"
“…”
He didn't know if it was Ji Huaian's illusion, but he always felt that there was something wrong with the way Lin Jinbao looked at him today, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.
He cleared his cough awkwardly and said, "Well, I'll go back and eat something first."
"Didn't I bring you food? Are you hungry? There's more in the kitchen! Let's go!"
Lin Jinbao's fiery passion made Ji Huaian unable to resist.
The entire meal was spent under the supervision of the "supervisor", which was really awkward. I could only change the subject: "Have you been out and about?"
"I went shopping! I just took a walk around. Oh, brother-in-law, I saw a lot of people carrying buckets. It was such a big deal. I don't know what they were doing."
"What's the special day today?"
Being reminded of this, Lin Jiaojiao also remembered that she had indeed met a lot of people on the way to find Ji Huaian. They were carrying buckets with many tools in them. They looked very excited and were walking towards the beach.
Ji Huaian glanced at the calendar: "I think he went to the beach."
"Going to the beach!" Lin Jiaojiao immediately became interested, staring at him with bright eyes, looking very expectant.
Lin Jinbao was the same. "I've heard from friends before that near the coast, many people go to the sea at low tide, but it depends on the time. I never thought I would have the chance to see it. Brother-in-law, let's go and see it! Sister, I want to go!"
Lin Jiaojiao was also ready to make a move.
Although she had traveled to the beach in her previous life, it was at the beach when the accident happened.
But I have never crossed the sea once.
"Can we go?"
Seeing Lin Jiaojiao's eyes full of anticipation, Ji Huaian smiled and nodded: "Of course, but we need to make some preparations."
"Okay! What preparations are we making? What do we need to prepare?"
Lin Jiaojiao couldn't wait any longer and started talking quickly. "I remember that besides catching some crabs, clams, fish and shrimp, you can also catch some beautiful starfish!"
"Yes, the beaches near us are rich in marine resources. If you're lucky, you might even encounter corals!"
"Really? I heard there's a time slot. Will we be late if we go now?"
"No, the tide doesn't rise until eight o'clock in the evening."
"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"
Seeing Lin Jiaojiao's anxious look like a child, Ji Huaian unconsciously reached out and pinched her cheek: "It's rare to see you so childish. Although sea fishing is fun, it is also full of dangers. It is necessary to be fully prepared."
“…”
Such a doting tone made Lin Jiaojiao feel a little embarrassed.
After about ten minutes, everyone was dressed.
Lin Jiaojiao also changed into long pants, rolled up her trouser legs, put on overshoes and work gloves.
Each person carried a small bucket with a small rake and a small shovel in it.
Ji Huaian was carrying a small bamboo basket on his back.
Let’s head to the beach together.
The blue sky and the blue sea.
There is also the golden beach under the sunshine, which is very dazzling and harmonious.
The sea breeze blows, bringing coolness!
There were already quite a few people gathered on the beach, some in groups of two or three, and some bending over to pick up something.
Lin Jiaojiao couldn't wait to rush into the crowd and saw that several people had already harvested a lot.
"Sister, look at all the fish and crabs in his bucket. These fish are so strange, I've never seen them before!"
"And that, sister, what's that in his hand?"
"Sandworms, right?"
"Do you know him?"
Seeing Ji Huaian was a little surprised, Lin Jiaojiao hurriedly explained: "I read it in a book."
"Yes, this is a sandworm. It's not easy to catch. You need experience."
After Ji Huaian finished speaking, he saw that the two of them looked confused and didn't know where to start, so he patiently explained the essentials and techniques of sea catching.
"This sea-hunting actually means that after the tide goes out, many marine animals are unable to return to the ocean in time and are stranded on land. However, there are many species. Those that cannot leave the water will be in the shallows, such as fish and shrimp. There are also amphibious animals, such as crabs, which like to hide under rocks. In addition, clams, cockles, snails and shellfish are under the sand. There are razor clams under some small holes on the beach."
