Qin Rou asked Hua Hua's mother to take care of the yard at home. In September and October, it is easy to encounter strong typhoons. Qin Rou hopes that her small yard can hold up. Don't let a big typhoon land this year.
"Mom, Mom, boat... fishing..."
Zhou Zhou and Dumpling, the two children, have been very excited since they got on the ship. It is the first time for these two kids to go out for a long time, and it is also the first time to board such a big ship. The ship has not started yet, and Lu Yan took the two little guys to the deck to see the scenery.
Xia Mingxi went into the cabin to eat fruit and chat with people. There were tables, chairs and benches in the cabin at this time, and there were staff cutting fruit. The fruit on the island is cheap. A lot of it was transported this time, so they can eat as much as they want.
Xia Mingxi, who had been out to sea many times, had no interest in watching the sea.
It was getting close to dusk, the sky was gray, and there were many returning fishing boats. The sky was dyed red like duck eggs, and the red clouds were stacked up. The sea was turbulent. Returning fishing boats came one after another, and the fish in the fishing nets were still jumping around. The white fish bellies were reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun.
Xiao Dumpling said, "Dad, I want to drive a boat in the future."
After saying that, he smiled foolishly with his face in his hands, "I want to drive a boat, ride a boat."
Lu Yan and Qin Rou laughed, and they didn't know whether this little guy really had the ambition to drive a boat, or just wanted to bully his brother and take advantage of him verbally.
Lu Yan smiled and said, "Okay, then you learn to fly a boat."
Zhou Zhou: "I want to fly a plane."
Xiao Dumpling followed suit: "Then I want to fly a plane too."
...
As they talked, the two little guys started to quarrel, and Lu Yan and his wife followed the brothers to chatter.
Lu Yan held a child in each hand, and when the two children were excited, they danced and waved their hands and legs, like two restless piglets.
Qin Rou pinched the little faces one by one and taught them, "Be good, or you might fall into the sea and become a meal for the baby sharks."
"Mom, am I not a baby shark? Awooo——" "
Is that what a baby shark calls?"
...
Zhao Jianghong and Ye Mingxiu, the newlywed couple, looked at their family of four. Zhao Jianghong felt sympathetic. He whispered to Ye Mingxiu, "Mingxiu, let's have children later."
"Raising a child is too tiring."
Ye Mingxiu nodded with a blushing face. It was so embarrassing to talk about raising a child after just getting married.
Zhao Jianghong said hurriedly: "Brother Lu, who was once high-spirited and unruly, has now become a big brother who takes care of children. He holds a child in each hand. Look how skilled and miserable he is. Now
he has two children, such a blessing, and he will enjoy it slowly." Twins are good, but it is too tiring to raise two boys at the same time. Looking at his good brother Lu Yan, who used to do all kinds of things together, holding the baby skillfully, Zhao Jianghong felt a sense of regret that the world is unpredictable and the years are gone.
He is newly married now, and Brother Lu is already taking care of children, and two boys at that. Brother Lu is still miserable.
"Zhao Jianghong..."
Although he is married, Ye Mingxiu still only calls him by his full name in front of outsiders.
Seeing Zhou Zhou and Dumpling, Ye Mingxiu liked them very much. She looked at Zhao Jianghong's face and hesitated to speak, wondering whether she should remind him of something.
"Mingxiu, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhao Jianghong asked when he saw that her face looked a little strange.
"I just wanted to remind you..." Ye Mingxiu hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
"My sister and I are twins... Xiao Qin said that her sister gave birth to twins, and she also gave birth to twins. If she had twins, it would be easy for her to give birth to twins, so..."
Ye Mingxiu blushed and said, "If we have children in the future, they will most likely be twins."
So don't laugh at others too early.
After saying these few words, Ye Mingxiu almost spent all her courage. Her little face was red, and the setting sun shone on her face, almost red enough to drip blood.
Zhao Jianghong trembled in his heart: "What did you say?"
At this time, Lu Yan turned his head and looked at him. Although there was no expression on his face, his mature and handsome face seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light under the setting sun, and it was as if he was saying to him under the setting sun: Brother's today is your tomorrow.
Two boys, you have already enjoyed this blessing! It was
a bolt from the blue.
"Forget it if you don't understand." Ye Mingxiu turned her head away and didn't look at him.
Zhao Jianghong swallowed his saliva, and suddenly saw his miserable future in the sunset, holding a baby in his left hand and another in his right hand. The two babies had Lu Yan-style contemptuous and sarcastic smiles on their faces, and their legs kicked his belly very vigorously.
- This blessing is for you, do you want it?
For a moment, Zhao Jianghong's mood was extremely complicated. He had just got married, and he thought about the miserable life of raising children in the future. What if he really had two boys at once, and what if they were very noisy...
No matter how miserable it was, he still had to live his life, so Zhao Jianghong wanted to learn in advance.
He walked up to Lu Yan and his two children and said, "Can uncle hold Zhou Zhou and Dumpling? Let uncle get used to it, in case uncle has children in the future."
"You hold them." Lu Yan handed the two children to him.
Zhou Zhou and Dumpling were well behaved now, and Zhao Jianghong held them in his arms one by one.
These two or three-year-old children were tall and sturdy, and they were quite heavy in each hand.
"They are quite sturdy, Lu Yan, you have been holding these two children for most of the day, are your arms tired?"
"No."
"Why do I feel tired after holding them for a while..."
"That's because you are too inexperienced."
Zhao Jianghong: "..."
How do you describe the feeling of holding two children? Weight is one aspect, like two small sandbags, but it is not as easy to hold a child as to hold a small sandbag, because the child can move, and not only can they move, but they can also dance in your arms.
"Don't hold me, don't hold me..."
"I want mommy."
Zhou Zhou and Dumpling felt uncomfortable being held by Zhao Jianghong, and struggled hard in Zhao Jianghong's arms, so Zhao Jianghong had to put them on the ground.
The two little kids ran to stand by their mother's legs.
The cool evening sea breeze blew on his face, and Zhao Jianghong breathed a sigh of relief. These two children were just like loaches. He should pray to have a child in the future.
He patted Lu Yan twice, thinking that this blessing was returned to you.
Lu Yan kicked him twice: "What are you doing, kid?"
Zhao Jianghong: "..." Damn, the blessing will not come back again.
After staying on the island for a few years, Qin Rou's seasickness reaction is not as severe as it was a few years ago when she first arrived. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't have much reaction. Seasickness is similar to motion sickness. Qin Rou didn't know how other people felt about seasickness, but she knew that if she wanted to avoid seasickness, she must not eat too much. If there is not much food in the stomach and she drinks less liquid food, she will not get seasickness and vomit.
So she only ate the steamed buns prepared by Comrade Lao Lu on the boat, and she heated them up on the boat and ate them while holding the steamed buns. She didn't drink water in big gulps, but took a sip of water to simply moisten her lips.
The next day, when sailing during the day, she was able to take pictures with Lu Yan and the two little nephews.
Apart from taking photos, it was really boring to stay on the boat. All I could see was the endless sea. Occasionally, I could see egrets flying by and fish jumping out of the water.
By noon the next day, the two little kids, Zhou Zhou and Dumpling, were already unhappy and wanted to get off the boat.
Qin Rou coaxed them both to sleep, and the adults chatted in pairs.
She leaned on Lu Yan's shoulder, thought of something, and suddenly mentioned Jin'er: "When we get to Jiao Island, let's try your seafood!"
Hearing her words, Zhao Jianghong joked with Lu Yan: "Look at your wife, no wonder she married you. Now she still wants to eat seafood. She has been on the island for several years, and you haven't gotten tired of it yet?"
"Aren't the food in the south different from that in the north? Try yours."
Although Qiongzhou Island is an island, it is the southernmost island. There are innumerable precious and rare ingredients on the island, and seafood is not even on the top. The fruits here are even better.
As you have learned geography, you will know that the further north you go, the higher the latitude. The seafood raised in cold seawater is more delicious, but there are relatively few marine species. Qiongzhou Island has a low geographical latitude and a variety of marine species. When it comes to delicious seafood, it may not be better than other places.
"When we get there, you can eat slowly. I will take you and the children to pick oysters."
Oysters are also called raw oysters.
Qin Rou smiled: "I'm going to pick abalone and sea cucumbers."
Zhao Jianghong sighed, "Your daughter-in-law is really passionate."
People like them who have been at the seaside for a long time really don't want to eat. In his hometown, if you invite people to dinner and only serve abalone and sea cucumber, it is very disrespectful to the guests.
Ye Mingxiu smiled and said, "I also want to try it."
It was Ye Mingxiu's first time to go north, and she was going to meet her husband's parents. She was particularly nervous, looking forward to it and afraid.
"I'll take you to the beach."
At around 8 or 9 in the evening, they finally arrived at the dock in Guangcheng. The group got off the boat and checked into the local guesthouse.
The next day, Qin Rou originally wanted to go eat rice noodles as early as possible, but she fell asleep and slept until noon. Not only her, but Ye Mingxiu and the two kids were also like this. They were so tired after sitting on the boat all day that they fell asleep as soon as they hit the bed.
Lu Yan and Zhao Jianghong, the two men, had no choice but to get up early to accompany them. The two men looked at each other, their eyes full of disdain, and they all thought in their hearts: I just want to accompany my wife, who wants to stare at you.
Even if they dislike each other, the two brothers can only accompany each other and wait for their wives to get up.
Zhao Jianghong asked him curiously: "What was it like when you and your wife just got pregnant?"
"Why are you so anxious to have children?"
"You have two children not long after you got married, right?"
"Why not wait a year to have another child? Mingxiu and I are in a good relationship right now and want to live a married life as a couple. We really don't want to have two more children. Lu Yan, what did you think at that time? Don't you want to live a life with your wife?"
Lu Yan had a stinky face: "If you ask again, I will kick you to death." He was talking
nonsense.
Lu Yan put his arm around Zhao Jianghong's shoulders: "Brother, I wish you two children in one year."
"Pah pah pah." What a rubbish blessing from a rubbish brother.
It was already noon when Qin Rou and Ye Mingxiu woke up. They had no breakfast, so they decided to go to the state-owned hotel for lunch. The journey was tough, so they had a good meal at noon.
"Let's go to Uncle Lu's state-owned hotel." Xia Mingxi suggested.
Although Uncle Lu failed to become his stepfather, his mother said that they had become pen pals with a good relationship, and he could take care of them when they went to the hotel for dinner.
"Then let's go." Qin Rou also wanted to meet the guy who almost became the husband of her third sister.
The object of her third sister's love.
Ye Mingxiu and Zhao Jianghong had no objection, so they took the city bus to the entrance of the state-owned hotel. Xia Mingxi, the king of making friends, knew people everywhere, and the state-owned hotel was familiar with him. The young man at the entrance greeted him: "Xiao Ming, classmate? You are not here with your mother this time?"
"My mother is not on vacation yet, is Uncle Lu here?"
"Yes, Uncle Lu is here."
When the young man heard Xia Mingxi mention Uncle Lu, his expression became particularly wonderful for a moment.
The young man was very impressed with Xia Mingxi. The first time he came, he thought he came to the hotel to eat with his handsome father. His "father" made several girls in the store blush and peek. He was tall and handsome.
"This man is so handsome..."
"It's a pity that he has a child."
"Is it his son?"
It's too nosy. Lu Xuan and her son never explain to outsiders. If they explain everywhere, it will be boring. Lu Xuan's height is the same as that of many men of average stature. He looks "handsome" among men. In addition, he often exercises, and his muscles are solid. He is full of "masculine" charm, which attracts girls to look at him frequently.
When Lu Xuan talks to the waitress, she can receive a warm and hearty smile, which makes her and her son feel like they are being treated as guests.
"Please come in, young man."
"This is your brother, he looks really smart."
Lu Xuan said lightly: "It's my son."
Upon hearing this, the hearts of the people in the hotel were broken, and even the enthusiasm of the waitress became lukewarm as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her.
The waitress said lazily, "Please take a look at it as you like."
Xia Mingxi secretly said to his mother, "Dad! I should have said you are my brother."
If he was my brother, they would have been treated warmly.
Lu Xuan slapped the table and laughed: "I'm your grandpa!"
"Grandpa, don't you want a bigger portion of food? Didn't you often complain about the aunt in the cafeteria when you were in college, and she shook all your food away because of her shaking hands..."
"Grandpa, if you said you were my brother, we might be able to get an extra dish."
"The people's soldiers don't lie to the masses."
Xia Mingxi hugged his face worriedly: "Your food is gone."
Lu Xuan: "..."
When the waiter came over, Xia Mingxi hugged Lu Xuan's arm and opened his voice: "Dad, when can you find me a mother!"
As soon as he opened his voice, he immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Lu Xuan: "..."
Third sister Lu really wanted to kick this son of a bitch away. Who gave birth to this annoying thing?
"What are you going to order?" Two waitresses, one big and one small, came over. Their jobs were respectable and easy, and they could walk with their heads held high. But when they were free, they were also quite free. When they had nothing to do, they liked to watch the fun and listen to gossip.
The older waitress didn't care at all. She looked at Lu Xuan's face carelessly, and she liked him more and more. A handsome widower with a child, he was so rare. Did he find a new partner? What kind of job did he do?
Lu Xuan and Xia Mingxi ordered the dishes. They ordered a lot, which surprised the two waitresses. They thought that this handsome boy could really eat.
"What does your father do?"
Xia Mingxi said, "My father is a soldier."
Wow, a soldier, nowadays a soldier is a popular target. He is so handsome, even if he remarries, it is not difficult to find a stepmother for the child. Seeing that this kid is so strong, his father must be a military officer...
"Soldiers protect the country, it's great, you have a good father..."
Xia Mingxi is thick-skinned and can chat with people everywhere. He speaks in a very pleasing way. The aunt of the people likes him and even gave him two plates of cakes. He
really relies on his smooth talk to make a living.
Lu Xuan, on the other hand, had a cold face, said nothing, and just ate.
But I never thought that such a cold and quiet soldier like him would be more popular in the eyes of outsiders.
At this time, another man came out, and the aunt next to him joked: "Lu Qing, look, this big... big brother is not much older than you, and his children are so big, aren't you in a hurry to find a wife to warm the bed?"
"Big brother, your son is urging you to find a wife."
"Look at the two of you, it's really like the emperor is not in a hurry, but the prisoner is."
