After Xia Youyou took Na Ru on a tour of the yacht, they lay down on a lounge chair under a parasol on the top deck.
Looking at the azure sea in the distance, where the sea and sky merge into one, Na Ru feels that this kind of day is really comfortable!
"Youyou, how did you find a place like this?"
Xia Youyou looked at her with half-closed eyes, feeling a little sleepy. She smiled and said, "Once, when we were going to Pengcheng, my brother exceeded the speed limit in his aircraft and flew directly into the sea, missing even the Xiangjiang River. Since then, we've searched for several uninhabited islands here and found this Durian Mountain."
Pointing to a small island in the distance, he said, "We were on that island before. There was a sugar apple forest there, but the forest was too deep, so we decided to give up. Anyway, we picked a lot in Yue this time, enough for us to eat for a year."
This time, in addition to their own food, they also wanted to send some to the factory in Hai City. However, they didn't want to be so tired, so Qi Siling would arrange for people to collect lychees and longans in Yangcheng, and then he and Xiao Hai would just go to Hai City.
Because I promised the factory in Hai City that I would send some every year. The profit is not much, but I can't break my promise.
As for the fruits from other provinces and cities, Cao An and his colleagues were too busy to deliver them, so the matter was left unresolved.
An Hai's current focus is on machinery and construction, and he uses fruit as a pastime, enough for his family to eat for a year.
It was getting late, and Xia Youyou didn't want to sleep at this time, so she pulled Na Ru up and said, "Let's go to the beach to catch some seafood, and prepare some food. We can have a barbecue on the beach tonight."
Na Ru nodded and stood up, holding her stomach.
She had barbecued with the little ones in the old house a few times before and had already fallen in love with it.
Xia Youyou helped her carefully get ashore, walked through the rocks, and finally stepped onto the soft sand.
She bent down to take off her shoes, then tilted her head to ask Naru, "Do you want to take off your shoes? The beach is soft and there's nothing to hurt your feet."
Na Ru had never walked barefoot since she was a child. Seeing Xia Youyou's white and tender little feet covered with fine sand, she was eager to try it.
Xia Youyou smiled and squatted down, "Come, hold my shoulders and lift your feet."
Na Ru saw her trying to take off her shoes and quickly stopped her, "No, I can do it myself."
"It's okay. It's inconvenient for you to bend down and lift your feet with your big belly."
Na Ru couldn't persuade her, so he could only raise his right leg embarrassedly, and Xia Youyou quickly took off his shoes and socks.
"Be careful when stepping on the sand. How is it? It's comfortable, right?" Xia Youyou raised her excited little face, and her heart felt soft when she saw it.
I carefully felt the touch from the soles of my feet and it felt a little itchy.
"Come, this foot." Xia Youyou urged.
Na Ru held her shoulders and lifted her other foot, and Xia Youyou took off all her shoes and socks.
My feet stepped on the beach, and due to gravity, sand overflowed from between my fingers and stained my entire soles.
"Alright." Naru leaned over and pulled Xia Youyou up. "It was really fun!"
Xia Youyou held her hand and walked carefully on the beach. When she saw some sandbags, she pointed them out to her and said, "Look, there must be a cat's eye snail there."
"Cat's eye snail?" Naru looked in the direction she directed.
"Sister-in-law, stand still. I'll use a shovel to dig it out and show you."
After saying that, he took out a small shovel and a small bucket from the space.
Naru followed behind her, approaching carefully.
With one shovelful, the cat's eye snail appeared. Xia Youyou picked it up, pinched its flesh, and squeezed out the water inside.
Na Ru's hands itched as she watched, "Look again, I want to squeeze in too!"
It feels so de-stressing!
Xia Youyou smiled and nodded at her, then pointed to a place not far away, "There are several sandbags over there. I'll go dig them. You walk over slowly."
"good!"
Na Ru finally experienced the fun of squeezing cat's eye snails, and had a lot of fun playing behind Xia Youyou!
"Hey, there's an octopus over there!" Xia Youyou looked around and found an octopus with its fangs and claws bared next to a bunch of kelp that washed ashore.
Regarding this soft thing, Na Ru felt something was wrong all over her body, and her heart was itchy. She resisted and refused to follow her.
Xia Youyou asked her to stand where she was, and she grabbed the octopus with the pliers.
"I'll grill this later!"
Na Ru shook her head. After becoming pregnant, she became very sensitive to these seafood. It was okay for her to play with them, but she couldn't eat them. She always felt nauseous!
Xia Youyou noticed her discomfort and said, "It's okay. Let them go to the sea to catch lobsters later. They don't have a fishy smell and they taste good grilled."
Her whole face was covered with sweat from the sun. Na Ru felt sorry for her and took out a handkerchief from her skirt pocket to wipe the sweat off her forehead. "Let's go upstairs. Look at you, your face is all red from the sun."
"It's okay." Xia Youyou said nonchalantly, pulling out an umbrella from her space and handing it to her. "Hold the umbrella while we go to the reef over there. There are mussels and Buddha's hand on it, both of which are delicious!"
Na Ru couldn't persuade her, so she could only go with her to the reef. Xia Youyou asked her to sit down on the flat rock, "Wait here for me, I'll go up and take a look."
"Be careful!" Na Ru was worried about her, but she was tired of standing, so she could only sit down and stare at her without blinking to ensure her safety.
When Xia Youyou finally stopped, she set up the awning by herself, sat down in the awning with Naru, and began to prepare the ingredients for the evening barbecue.
When the three men came down from the mountain, they saw that they had already collected a lot of seafood and filled a bucket. The barbecue ingredients on the table were almost ready.
Na Ru was also helping out, washing and cutting the fruits.
Qi Siling looked at Xia Youyou's sunburned face and held her head with her hot hands. "What did you do? Why are you so sunburned?"
Na Ru heard this and waved away Cao An's disruptive hand. "You better tell her off. She went to the rocks to pick at Buddha's claws by herself, and I couldn't get her to come down no matter how hard I tried!"
Thinking of the scene just now, Na Ru was furious.
Xia Youyou saw a large area of mussels and Buddha's hand claws, and she was so excited that she couldn't stop them from grabbing them. In the end, she had to pretend to have a stomachache to persuade them to stop.
"Hehe..." Xia Youyou looked guilty and turned away from Qi Siling's hand. When his expression changed, she quickly lowered her head and continued to pack up the things in her hands.
Qi Siling was helpless and pinched her little face, "Why are you so naughty!"
Xia Youyou ignored it. Going to the beach was so much fun. There were so many Buddha's claws! She hadn't picked up enough!
As night fell, a bonfire was lit on the beach, and Cao An and Xiao Hai began to grill food.
Xia Youyou and Qi Siling prepared cheese durian.
The fragrance drifted far away, and on the endless sea, the small island was bustling until late at night.
After they had eaten their fill, played and had enough fun, they finally returned to the cabin to rest.
