Chapter 19 I Like Seaside Cities

Seeing her sitting on the bed enjoying the breeze, Zhou Tingyue noticed that there was a vendor selling watermelons outside the window.

Although doing business is still prohibited these days, there are still some people who sneak out to make money near the train station.

"Wait for me here. I'll go down and buy you a watermelon to cool you down!"

When Song Shiwei heard him say he wanted to buy watermelon, he actually felt a little thirsty.

Nodded: "Okay, then go quickly and come back quickly, the train will leave soon!"

Zhou Tingyue smiled, nodded, stood up, and strode towards the train door.

After a while, Song Shiwei saw him walk up to the man selling watermelons and pick up a watermelon.

You know what, the watermelons were very big, well-grown, and juicy. The vines were still fresh, and you could tell they were just pulled from the field!

Zhou Tingyue didn't buy much, just one that didn't look too big.

Dangerous items such as knives were not allowed on the train, so he asked the old man to cut the clothes for him and put them in a net bag before getting on the train.

As soon as he got in the car, he saw Song Shiwei looking at the melon in his hand with an eager look on his face.

Obviously looking forward to it.

He walked back to his seat with a smile, placed the watermelon on the middle table, opened the net bag, and the fresh fragrance of watermelon wafted out instantly.

Song Shiwei felt uncomfortable with the thirst in his mouth.

Zhou Tingyue smiled and handed her a thinly cut piece.

"Eat it quickly! It will help you feel cooler!"

Song Shiwei didn't bother to be polite and took it and started eating happily.

Of course, she doesn’t eat voraciously, nor does she eat delicately. After all, she was a food anchor in her previous life, and she eats very deliciously, so every one of her live broadcasts has hundreds of thousands of people watching online at the same time. She is a big blogger with tens of millions of fans!

In addition to eating delicious food, she can also cook all kinds of delicious food! She even knows some ancient recipes!

Watching her eat watermelon is also a pleasure. As she takes a bite, you can feel the watermelon is crisp, sweet and juicy, with juice overflowing!

Coupled with the intermittent melon fragrance, the people around swallowed their saliva frequently.

Zhou Tingyue was the closest to her, and he didn’t feel thirsty at first, but when he watched her eat, he suddenly felt like eating too.

So under the gaze of everyone, he also took a piece and started eating it in big bites.

Many people couldn't stand it immediately. It was too painful to see that they couldn't eat it.

Someone shouted at the window: "Hey, old farmer, give me a watermelon too!"

"And me! I want one too. Cut it for me!"

"I want one too!"

"Give me one too!"

..........

After a while, the old farmer sold more than ten watermelons!

Song Shiwei, who was eating watermelon, couldn't help but grin.

It seems that I still have the potential to be a food anchor!

The watermelon Zhou Tingyue bought was quite big, weighing about twelve or thirteen pounds. Even without the rind, it would be about eight or nine pounds. Song Shiwei ate five or six pieces in one breath and couldn't eat any more.

The rest went into Zhou Tingyue's stomach.

In fact, Zhou Tingyue was also very anxious. The main thing was that the watermelon could not be left behind. If it was left in the polluted and stuffy carriage, it would become inedible after a while!

Because they were full of watermelon, the two of them did not eat the cakes that Zhao Huili prepared for them along the way.

Song Shiwei slept for a while and it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when they finally arrived in Qing City.

Qingshi is a coastal city, and the air has a salty and humid smell.

Song Shiwei took a deep breath. This is the smell of the sea!

It's been a long time!

In her previous life, she traveled all over the world as a food blogger, and her favorite city would be the seaside.

Because she was born in a small fishing village in a coastal city and grew up by the sea, she is very good at swimming. When she was a child, she often followed her grandfather to the seaside to catch small fish and shrimps when the tide was low!

So, what she eats the most is seafood!

After becoming a host, I often promote some marine industries in my hometown for free!

Now, looking at the long-lost coastal city, I feel an indescribable sense of peace.

Zhou Tingyue looked at her comfortable expression and couldn't help but smile.

“Like coastal cities?”

Song Shi smiled and nodded.

"Well, it feels very peaceful! Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, at night you can still hear the sound of waves hitting the rocks! This feeling is great!"

It's natural white noise.

Seeing that she liked it, Zhou Tingyue actually breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that she would not be able to adapt. After all, the place where they were going to live was an island surrounded by the sea. In addition to their stationed troops, there were naturally some local people.

They make a living by fishing all year round, and the troops mostly eat seafood. They rarely eat green vegetables because the island has a limited area and even less arable land for planting.

For people coming from the inland, many people will find it difficult to adapt.

When he first came here, it took him almost a week to get used to it.

Recalling the first time he ate various seafood, his stomach problems came back and he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night because of the pain.

The main reason was that we didn’t know at that time that many seafood products are cold in nature, and people with poor stomachs would easily suffer from stomachaches if they ate too much.

Therefore, before returning to Beijing, he went to the service center and bought 20 kilograms of white flour and 20 kilograms of corn flour!

In case the little girl has trouble adapting to the new environment, he could make some noodles and steamed buns for her.

Until the two of them got on the ship, Zhou Tingyue kept an eye on Song Shiwei's condition, fearing that she would get seasick after the novelty wore off.

But after two hours, they were almost at their destination, and he didn't see Song Shiwei showing any signs of seasickness. Instead, he happily ran outside to enjoy the sea breeze.

Zhou Tingyue thought, it seems that she really likes it!

By the time they arrived on the island, it was almost six o'clock. Fortunately, it gets dark late in the summer, and the sun was just about to set at this time.

Half of the red setting sun shines on the sparkling sea surface, repeatedly scattering golden fragments. White seagulls circle above the sea, and the sound of waves hitting the rocks is so beautiful!

Song Shiwei followed Zhou Tingyue towards the troops amidst such beautiful scenery.

On the way, we occasionally met villagers who were fishing and greeted them.

Qilian Island is not very big, and it is only about seven or eight miles from the ferry to the military entrance. During the journey, they also met enthusiastic fellow villagers who gave them a ride on a cart.

When they arrived at the gate of the military unit, there were soldiers on duty standing guard. Zhou Tingyue showed his ID, and the soldiers' expressions immediately changed and they saluted hurriedly.

"Hello, Chief!"

Agnes Chow gave them a standard military salute in return.

The two of them then carried their luggage into the military area.

Zhou Tingyue thought that he might have to report to the team before returning, so he thought about it.

"Weiwei, I'll take you back to the courtyard first. I have to go to the team later and will be back soon!"

Song Shiwei, who was looking left and right, nodded.

"good!"
