"Here it comes again!"
"Ahhh! Puff!"
"Puh!"
...
At four or five in the afternoon, there was no sun on the edge of the bay. A group of men and women, big and small, walked into the deep sea in swimming suits. Then a wave came over, and the huge impact washed people and lifebuoys back to the beach. Many people struggled and struggled in the water. When they stood up, the sea had receded and the depth of the sea water under them was not even knee-high.
"Come again, come again! This time, go forward!"
The children who climbed up happily swam into the deep sea again. There were anti-shark nets nearby, and safety guards used hemp ropes to cordon off the position. The group of people finally walked to the hemp rope, and were hit by the waves again, and they were thrown to the ground.
Brother Lu Weizhou and his wife took Tian Dourong and his sister to play in the sea. Doudou and Rongrong each had a swimming ring. After being washed by the sea water several times, they felt bored and went to play in the sand with their brother.
Qin Rou and Lu Yan sat on a lounge chair, with a thatched umbrella above their heads and the beach below them. The lounge chair was unfolded comfortably, and there were two green coconuts with straws on the table beside them.
Qin Rou felt the gentle sea breeze, took off her sunglasses and looked at the children not far away, thinking that this vacation was really comfortable. It's
just that there are too few entertainment facilities now. I'll build a water park in the future and add more freshwater entertainment projects.
There are several rows of cabins near the bay, all with wooden cabin seafood barbecue signs. Qin Rou built the house and hired people to run the barbecue food business.
Wooden cabin barbecue not only has grilled oysters, grilled fish, grilled prawns, etc., but also delicious snacks such as pineapple rice and coconut milk refreshing tonic.
Lu Weize and his friends got water guns, and the four siblings started a fight. Rongrong was bullied so much that she ran to Qin Rou's side, shouting, "Mom, you take care of Dumpling Brother!"
Dumpling Brother was rude, even to his own mother. Qin Rou was soaked by him, "Dad, go and help me get revenge!"
Lu Yan threw a water gun to her, "We should work together as a couple."
Rongrong Rong said: "I want to defeat the evil brother together with my sister, father and mother!"
Lu Weizhou said on the side: "I will also defeat your evil second brother together with you."
Lu Weize: "...traitor! Why am I the evil brother? Brother, you have to stand on my side!"
Lu Yan said: "You two brothers should stay together, don't bully Weize too much."
Lu Weize put his arms around his brother's shoulders: "Let's form a united front!"
"Now start to focus on attacking Rongrong!"
Lu Si Ning hid behind her own sister Lu Siyao when she heard it: "Ah! Sister, save me!"
Although Lu Weize said he was going to attack Rongrong, he actually went to attack his own mother.
"This is called making a feint to the east and attacking in the west!"
Qin Rou was furious: "You bastard! All of you, surround him!"
The family was having a water fight at the beach. Qin Rou urged Comrade Lu Yan to avenge her. Lu Yan was not interested in playing this kind of water fight game at first, but later he got addicted and led his two daughters to surround their brother. Qin Rou took a water gun and occasionally found a gap to make a move.
In the end, four against two won.
Lu Weize was not convinced: "You have more people, and the victory
is not fair." Lu Weizhou: "If you lose, you lose."
"Go change clothes." Qin Rou took the two daughters to the bathroom to take a fresh water bath to rinse off the sea water on their bodies. If they didn't rinse in time, salt grains would seep out of their bodies.
After changing clothes, the family went to the wooden BBQ restaurant, ordered some food, and sat under an umbrella to grill the food themselves. Here, the restaurant owner can help you grill, or you can grill it yourself.
As the older brother, Lu Weizhou likes grilling very much, so he took over the position of the grilling master and had a lot of fun brushing oil and sauce on the side.
Lu Siyao said from the side: "My eldest sister-in-law will definitely be very happy in the future."
Lu Weize: "Isn't your second sister-in-law happy?"
"Second brother, you should also try your hand, let your sister taste your cooking skills."
"Grilled starfish for you."
"No!"
"I want to eat grilled oysters!!"
Lu Si Ning said: "Second brother, I want to eat grilled steamed buns!"
...
Lu Yan brought a bowl of coconut milk refreshment to Qin Rou. Qin Rou ate a spoonful herself and fed him another spoonful. She smiled and said: "Now that the children are grown up, we can wait to eat the barbecue made by the children."
"Do you want me to grill some mantis shrimps for you?"
Qin Rou: "...Yes!"
Lu Yan smiled and went to the grill. Qin Rou sat on the wooden chair, her beautiful fox eyes half-closed, and looked at the three of them, father and son, standing in a triangle to grill.
If you don't look carefully at what they are roasting.
——It really looks like three guys roasting lamb with cumin flavor.
"You, you are Qin Rou, right? Do you remember me?" Qin Rou turned around and saw a woman wearing a green fishtail skirt and an orange scarf around her shoulders standing next to her. When she spoke, she took off her sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, revealing a pretty face.
Qin Rou scanned the woman's face and felt vaguely familiar, but couldn't remember her name.
"We met ten years ago, at the Jiaodao Retirement Home. My name is Yang Yue." The woman spoke.
Qin Rou was stunned for a moment, but suddenly remembered the identity of the woman in front of her.
A daughter-in-law who once stood beside her mother-in-law with a humble look. At that time, her son fell in love with the little whale pattern on the chest of Zhou Zhou Dumpling. Yang Yue came to learn how to sew it, but her mother-in-law wanted Qin Rou to sew it. Qin Rou refused and said in a sarcastic tone that Qin Rou was a lazy daughter-in-law.
... Later, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went home and had a quarrel, and Yang Yue moved out of the rest home.
"I divorced a long time ago, I have a new husband and a five-year-old daughter. Our family came to the island to play." Yang Yue smiled.
"I'm so happy to meet you. I've seen you on TV before, but I didn't expect to run into you in real life on the island."
That incident was the last straw that broke the camel's back for Yang Yue. It was also a turning point in her life. Yang Yue took the risk and divorced. She returned home, got rid of her identity as a submissive young wife, and returned to work.
After the economic opening up in 1977-1988, Yang Yue had the ability to catch up with the trend and opened a factory to become a female boss. Now she lives a peaceful and smooth life.
When she thinks back to the past, it is hard to imagine that the unrecognizable cowardly young wife is actually herself.
"The Story of the Travel Agency" was broadcast on the provincial TV station. Yang Yue likes to watch this TV series very much. She also saw Qin Rou on the TV series and found that the theme song "South Island" and the ending song "See You After Goodbye" of the TV series were sung by Qin Rou.
Suddenly, she remembered the old things that happened nearly ten years ago. That was 1975, and now it is 1985.
In ten years, she has changed a lot. She has also changed from a timid young wife to a capable female boss.
With an inexplicable impulse in her heart, she brought her husband and children to Qiongzhou Island for a trip and stayed in a sea view hotel. Unexpectedly, she met Qin Rou by chance.
When she saw Qin Rou, she didn't know why, but Yang Yue felt very happy from the bottom of her heart. She had always wanted to be friends with Qin Rou.
Yang Yue talked to Qin Rou for a few words, and her husband and daughter also came over. Qin Rou invited them to have a barbecue together.
"Your two sons are so old now? That's right, so many years have passed."
"You also have a pair of twin daughters! Daughters are great! I'm not destined to have a pair of twin daughters."
"We've watched your TV series on Shandong TV. You sing so beautifully. I really like the ending song. See you later..." ...
Qin
Rou's family and Yang Yue's family had a barbecue, and then returned to the Seaview Hotel together. Yang Yue also asked Qin Rou to purchase a large number of South Island pearls.
"Many people over there want to buy your South Island pearls."
"I'm going to take a few boxes of pearl jewelry back."
...
Back in the room in the evening, Qin Rou was still thinking about meeting Yang Yue during the day. She ran to Lu Yan's side and lay down, sighing in his ear: "I didn't expect that ten years have passed."
Qin Rou was very happy to see that Yang Yue now had a happy family.
In the past ten years, everyone has changed a lot. The once short and stocky Zhou Zhou and Dumpling brothers have almost grown tall. As a mother, Qin Rou still has to worry about these two handsome boys falling in love too early.
Her sons are so old now and are in middle school. If they really fall in love too early in the future, should she persuade them to give up or not?
Lu Yan put his arm around her waist and held her in his arms: "We have been married for fourteen years."
Qin Rou smiled: "Wait a few more years before you become grandparents?"
"Whether you can become grandparents or not, it all depends on the ability of your two sons, Comrade Qin."
Qin Rou clicked her tongue twice: "Isn't it up to you, Comrade Lu Yan?"
"Just like my father-in-law, urging us to get married!"
Lu Yan shook his head: "I won't urge them, it's up to them."
"I don't want to urge them either, it's up to them." Qin Rou didn't want to interfere in her son's relationship.
The child was only thirteen years old, it seemed too early to interfere.
"My father-in-law said that except for you, everyone in your Lu family has a tradition of late marriage, and
you have to wait until you are 30 years old." "It will take more than ten years for our son to be 30 years old, so there is no rush." Qin Rou thought that her son would still be at least 17 years away from turning 30, so how could these two get married early?
Lu Weizhou is serious and studious, and if Lu Weize is heading to Shanghai, it will probably be even more difficult for them to find a partner.
There is no way they will get married as soon as they reach the legal age for marriage!!!
"Lu Yan, I think it is possible for the two of us to marry our daughter first and have grandchildren." Her beautiful daughters who are more like her may find someone they like before her brothers.
"Hmm?" Lu Yan tilted his head to look at her: "It's not like we will marry our daughter first, Old Wang and Old Liu are ahead."
"Don't mention the matter of marrying your daughter in front of Old Wang."
Comrade Wang was reluctant to let his daughter get married.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If they want to talk about a partner, they can talk about a partner. It's up to them whether to get married or not."
In November 1985, Old Wang's family and Old Jiang's family from Liaoning Province went south to Qiongzhou Island. They first met up with Lu Zongyi and his wife in Guangcheng, and several old men took a boat to Lucheng together. Old Wang and his
wife also brought a young grandson with them, Wang Hu, a navy soldier who had just graduated and was currently transferred to the South China Sea Fleet. This time they also followed their grandson.
Lao Jiang from Liaoning heard that he was going to Qiongzhou Island. It happened that the couple had watched a TV series and wanted to see the scenery of the South Island, so they decided to go south together.
Lao Jiang was the middleman who brought Lu Yan and Qin Rou together.
"Lao Lu, look at my grandson. He is not bad. Does he have the style of your Lu Yan?"
His grandson is called Wang Hu. Hu means beautiful jade, and Yan also means beautiful jade. When Lao Wang secretly named him, he thought that Lao Lu named him beautiful jade, and the child would be handsome and upright. He also wanted to give his grandson a beautiful jade, and maybe he could also be a beautiful jade tree in the wind.
Of course, it's not that a name can really make anything happen. For example, his granddaughter Wang Mengtian, the name sounds obedient and sweet, but this granddaughter has obviously grown up wrong. Now she has been admitted to a military academy and joined the army. She has a hot temper.
I guess she is the same as Lu Xuan...
Lu Zongyi raised his eyebrows: "Like Lu Yan? I have to ask you, the old man, have you been mad at your grandson every day?"
"Humph." Lao Wang snorted: "Haven't you heard of the relationship between the next generation and the next? Only his father was mad at him, and we have a good relationship."
Lu Zongyi: "..."
- Seeing your son being mad at his grandson, you, the old man, are quite happy? Disrespectful to the elderly.
Old Chiang heard their conversation and interrupted, "Wang Hu from your family will also marry a hottie in the future. Do you want me to introduce her to you?"
"Old Lu said that he wanted to find a hottie for his son. The hotter the better!" Old
Chiang had formed several couples in his life and introduced many people to potential partners, but he had never seen someone like Lu Yan and Qin Rou. When he introduced them to each other, Old Chiang did not think they would be able to work out.
Who would have thought that an explosive barrel and a hottie could actually live together, and that the man's family would often come to thank him for introducing them.
Comrade Old Chiang was puzzled.
After all, this was the most inexplicable couple he had put together, and after they got married, not only did they not scold him, they often came to thank him.
He had introduced a couple who were made in heaven before. Their conditions, temperaments and families were very suitable. Who knew that they would divorce in the end and scolded him, the introducer.
Later, they developed feelings and resonance because of scolding him, the introducer, and they remarried, which surprised their relatives and friends.
Alas, it is not easy to be an introducer anyway.
"Only by choosing a hot pepper can you live a prosperous life."
Lao Wang was scared and hesitated: "Can you really introduce a hot pepper to my Xiaohu?"
Lu Zongyi was very supportive: "A hot pepper is good, Sichuan and Hunan girls are good, with a good voice and can sing."
Lao Wang: "..." Lao Wang felt that the hot pepper that the Lu family married was not the right one.
It is true that she has a good voice.
"Ask your grandson for his opinion." Lu Zongyi glanced at the eldest grandson and thought that this guy didn't look like Lao Wang, and his personality was even less like his grandfather. He looked very energetic and his appearance was acceptable. Of course, he couldn't compare to the arrogant look of his Yanzai in the past, and he couldn't compare to the "handsome Pan An" of Comrade Lao Lu when he was young.
Comrade Wang Xiaohu didn't like to talk and usually didn't join in the conversations between the old people.
Wang Hu said coldly: "I don't talk about the object."
Lao Lu came to Lao Wang's side and said: "Your grandson doesn't look like my Yanzai, but more like Gu Cheng of the old Gu family."
Lao Wang's eyes widened: "?!!!"
What are you talking about? ! ! ! !
"Old Lu, what are you talking about? The son of the Gu family didn't get married until he was 40, right? The tradition of my Wang family is to marry early."
How could his grandson be like the son of the Gu family? ! ! !
"If Old Gu heard you say this, he would be angry with you, you are spreading rumors, my youngest son is not
even 40." "Isn't Gu Cheng older than your son?"
"You are talking nonsense."
Although Old Wang firmly believed that his grandson had the Wang family's ancestral tradition of marrying early, Old Lu's words did ring a warning bell for him. He has several grandchildren, and it seems that none of them has the intention to date.
Especially this Wang Hu, his father was already married at this age, and he actually said "I don't date" such a statement that goes against the tradition of the Wang family.
Lao Lu thought to himself, "Maybe your Wang Xiaohu will get married later than my Zhou Zhou Dumpling."
The tradition of early marriage in your Wang family was cut off, while the tradition of early marriage in their Lu family ushered in a new era.
Old Wang stared with his eyes wide open: "Haven't you calculated the age difference between your Zhou Zhou Dumpling and my Xiao Hu?"
"How is that possible? Don't let your imagination run wild, Old Lu."
"It's possible that my great-grandson will be ten years old when your Zhou Zhou Dumpling gets married."
Old Lu shook his head. He thought that this time, the Old Lu family must have won. Zhou Zhou Dumpling has several playmates of similar age in the family compound, just like Wang Niannian of the Wang family. If childhood sweethearts develop a beautiful relationship, then when they reach the age of marriage, won't these two children get married quickly?
Of course, if this doesn't happen, Old Lu also believes that his two grandsons can find a partner as soon as possible.
Because they are as handsome as their father.
In the past, when their father Lu Yan was alive, the atmosphere was not open. Now, all kinds of dance halls and discos have emerged, and men and women are courting each other boldly. Comrade Lu Yan does not believe that his two grandsons do not have passionate suitors.
When a man pursues a woman, there are mountains between them; when a woman pursues a man, there are veils between them.
"Then you, Wang, just wait and see."
"It must be my little tiger who will get married first. Old Jiang, you have to help me." Compared with Old Lu, Old Wang trusts Comrade Jiang, the classic matchmaker, more. He is the introducer who can get Lu Yan.
How difficult Lu Yan was back then, Old Wang has witnessed it with his own eyes.
Old Jiang smiled: "Why are you in such a hurry? Your Xiaohu has been transferred to the South China Sea. I saw it on TV. It is said that there are blind date programs on this island, and there are also matchmakers."
"Why not let your Xiaohu find a matchmaker?"
Lu Zongyi laughed: "Then my two grandsons will get the upper hand."
Old Lu felt that he had won the game. His youngest son was a relationship consultant praised by everyone, and his youngest daughter-in-law was a well-known matchmaker. He didn't believe that their children would not be able to find a partner. No! Impossible!
Lao Wang: “…”
“I don’t want to talk to you about grandsons.”
“Then let’s talk about granddaughters, Lao Wang. My two granddaughters, Doudou and Rongrong, both look like their mother. They have been pretty since childhood. One is learning violin now and the other sings Cantonese opera. When we get to the island, I will let them sing for you.”
“These two good granddaughters of mine are going to apply to art school in the future…”
Lao Wang had a wooden face, thinking to himself, I don’t want to know about your granddaughters.
"How old are your Doudou and Rongrong? Girls change a lot when they grow up, but it's not time for them to change yet." When
Lao Lu and his party arrived at the island and got off the boat, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, "When we get old, we really can't stand the hardship."
"Let's take a plane next time."
"Do you dare to take a plane?"
"Just give it a try. If you don't try it now, will you have another chance to try it in the future? You are so old now."
...
Lao Wang and his wife haven't been to Qiongzhou Island for many years. The last time they came was more than ten years ago when they accompanied Lao Lu and his wife to visit relatives. This time they found that the island has changed a lot.
There are a lot of people around the port, many of whom are tourists who come to the island to play, and many of them bring their children. As soon as the children get off the boat, they immediately scream "wow wow wow".
There are several fruit stalls on the roadside, selling coconut mango and pineapple. The pineapples on the island are very sweet, and the group bought some pineapples to eat.
Qin Rou knew that her parents-in-law were coming, so she drove to pick them up. She also called a car from a transportation company to take them to the family compound.
Seeing that Qin Rou could drive, mother-in-law Jiang Ping was surprised: "Xiao Qin, you can drive too?"
She didn't expect that her daughter-in-law could actually hold the steering wheel and be a driver.
"Yes, mother-in-law, do you want to learn? My sister and I have learned to drive, and now my sister can drive on the road."
"I learn to drive? Can I learn to drive at my age?"
Lao Lu smiled and said, "You learn to drive, and then take me for a ride in the future."
"You old man, do you have any shame? You still want me to drive? Do you dare to sit in my car?"
Old Wang said to his grandson, "Xiao Hu, you should learn to drive as soon as possible."
Wang Hu said nothing.
When they arrived at the family compound, they parked the car in the open space and walked to Lu's house. The large number of people attracted a crowd of onlookers, not to mention the elderly couples. Especially when they saw Wang Hu, a young man, the sisters-in-law in the family compound immediately became agitated.
Whose family is this boy? How old is he? Are you dating? What job do you do now? ...
"Sister-in-law Qin, someone is coming to your house?"
"Oh, who is this? He is also a military officer, just transferred to our place? Is this his grandpa and grandma?"
"He is only in his twenties, and he hasn't had a date yet? That would be great in the future, we can introduce him to a partner..."
...
Seeing this young military officer who has not found a partner yet, the sisters-in-law's eyes lit up. This is a good resource, and they don't know whose daughter he will marry in the future.
When Lao Wang heard the voices of these enthusiastic relatives, he immediately knew that his little tiger would not be single for long, and he would definitely get married early.
He cast a look at Lao Lu: Look, my grandson is popular.
Lao Lu: "..."
Lao Lu thought that my grandson is more popular.
"Thank you, sisters-in-law, I don't have a partner." Wang Hu said indifferently.
"How can you not talk about a partner? If you meet the right one, you should talk about a partner. We have many families here. We can introduce you to any type of person you want. Do you know about beauty pageants?"
"There are many beautiful girls on our island. This year, a group of young girls came to our island and said they would participate in next year's beauty pageant..."
"More than that, there are a few girls from Old Xu's family, right?"
"I guess they came for the beauty pageant as well."
"They don't necessarily have to participate in the beauty pageant, they just like to come to our island, they didn't say they want to participate in the beauty pageant."
"I don't believe it. If you listen to her, her family will definitely sign up for the beauty pageant next year."
...
Wang Hu is indifferent to these things.
He came here to fight for his career, not to find a partner. What's the point of finding a partner and getting married? It's meaningless.
When they were in the military academy, many of their classmates secretly looked for partners outside the school. They thought about them all day and night, and were busy writing letters and making phone calls. There was even a student in their dormitory who liked to read love letters, which annoyed Wang Hu.
He was not interested in dating.
"Grandpa and grandma!!!!" Lu Siyao and Lu Sining were very happy to see Lu Zongyi and his wife as soon as they got home from school.
"Oh, my good granddaughters, Lao Wang, come and see my good granddaughters. This is the elder sister Doudou, and this is the younger sister Rongrong..." Lu Zongyi took the initiative to introduce them to Lao Wang.
Lao Wang held back and didn't say anything. He was thinking in his heart that he must not say anything that would make Lao Lu proud.
"My dear, why do I always feel something is strange?" Comrade Lao Jiang from Liaoning Province felt something was strange since he entered this family compound, but he couldn't tell what was strange at the moment.
"I just feel that the female family members here... I feel like I've seen them somewhere before?" Although she had never been to this place, she felt that these people looked familiar.
Lao Jiang's wife snorted, "Where have you seen them before? Have you seen them in your dreams?"
"Don't talk nonsense, we are all old bones." Lao Jiang touched his nose, "Hey! Have we seen them on TV? By the way, aren't they tourists on the island?"
"Why are they all family members again?"
