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 not allowed these days, there are still 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!"
After hearing him talk about buying watermelons, Song Shiwei actually felt a little thirsty.
Nodded: "Okay, then you should go quickly and come back soon, 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 old man selling watermelons and pick up the watermelons.
You know what, the watermelons are very big, well-grown, and juicy. The vines are still fresh, and you can tell at a glance that 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 are not allowed on the train, so he asked the old man to cut the clothes for him, put them in a net bag and got 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 expression.
Obviously looking forward to it.
He walked back to his seat with a smile and placed the watermelon on the middle table. As soon as he opened the net bag, the fresh fragrance of watermelon wafted out instantly.
Song Shiwei felt uncomfortable with thirst in his mouth.
Zhou Tingyue smiled and handed her a thinly cut piece.
"Eat it quickly! It will cool you down!"
Song Shiwei didn't bother to be polite with him. He took it and started eating happily.
Of course, she doesn't eat voraciously, nor does she eat in a delicate manner. After all, she was a food host in her previous life, and she eats with such relish that hundreds of thousands of people watch her every live broadcast simultaneously. 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 that the watermelon is crisp, sweet, and juicy, with juice overflowing!
Coupled with the occasional melon fragrance, people around swallow their saliva frequently.
Zhou Tingyue was the closest to her, and he didn’t feel thirsty at first, but when he saw her eating, 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 anymore. It was too painful to see that they couldn't eat it.
Someone shouted from 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!"
..........
In a short while, the old farmer sold more than a dozen watermelons!
Song Shiwei, who was eating watermelon, couldn't help but grin.
It seems that I still have the potential to be a food host!
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 feeling full. The main thing was that the watermelon could not be left over. If it was left in this dirty and stuffy carriage, it would probably become inedible after a while!
Because they were full from eating watermelon, the two of them didn't 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 was 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 beach 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 seaside city I haven’t seen for a long time, I feel indescribably peaceful.
Zhou Tingyue looked at her comfortable expression and couldn't help but smile.
"Like seaside cities?"
Song Shi smiled and nodded.
"Well, it feels very comfortable! Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, I can hear the sound of waves hitting the rocks at night! This feeling is great!"
It's like natural white noise.
Seeing that she liked it, Zhou Tingyue was actually relieved. 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 army also mostly eats seafood. There are very few green vegetables to eat because the area of the island is limited and the arable land for planting is even scarcer.
For people coming from inland areas, 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 I didn’t know at that time that many seafood products are cold in nature, and people with poor stomachs would suffer from stomachaches if they ate too much.
Therefore, before returning to Beijing, he went to the service center to buy 20 kilograms of white flour and 20 kilograms of corn flour!
Just in case the little girl had trouble adapting to the new environment, he could make her some noodles, steamed buns, etc.
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 level, repeatedly scattering golden fragments. White seagulls are circling over 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.
From time to time on the way, you can meet villagers going to the beach and say hello to them.
Qilian Island is not very big, and it is only seven or eight miles from the ferry to the military entrance. During the journey, they met some enthusiastic fellow villagers who gave them a ride on a cart.
When they arrived at the military gate, there were soldiers on duty standing guard. Zhou Tingyue showed his ID, and the soldiers' expressions suddenly changed and they saluted hurriedly.
"Hello, Chief!"
Zhou Tingyue gave them a standard military salute in return.
The two of them then carried their luggage into the military area.
Zhou Tingyue thought about it and thought that he might have to report to the team before returning.
"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!"
