Teacher Gao led everyone onto the bus. As time passed, the wind carried the salty smell of the sea into the bus. The moment they saw the sea, the children's eyes were drawn to it.
This was also the first time Yang Yufen had ever seen the sea.
"Our training base is not far from the seaside, so you can come and visit every day from now on."
Teacher Gao told everyone where they were. Yang Yufen listened attentively, but in her mind she was thinking that since she had come all this way, she should bring back more seafood. Wang Damei and Professor Wen both loved seafood. It was a pity that Niannian wasn't home. Niannian also loved seafood.
"Aunt Yang, after you've settled the children in, I'll take you for a stroll around the area. It's a rare opportunity to come all this way, and the seafood here is quite good and inexpensive. I'll show you around and see if the children need anything; we can buy it now."
Teacher Gao spoke a few words to Yang Yufen, after all, she was the only patriarch who had come with them, so she couldn't be neglected.
"Okay, okay, I was just thinking about it. I'll have to trouble you later, Teacher Gao."
When they arrived, other children were already waiting; they had arrived first and were already settled.
There were sixty or seventy children of all ages, from different places.
Li Wu and several other children from Beijing happened to share a dormitory room with bunk beds and bedding provided by the school, though it was noticeably thin.
Li Wu didn't need Yang Yufen to do anything; he made up the bedding himself, slept on the top bunk, and used the provided bedding as a base, making the bed softer and preventing it from creaking.
Yang Yufen saw a mosquito land on Li Wu, raised her hand and swatted it dead. Looking at the mosquito in her palm, she thought, "It's already October, and the mosquitoes are still so active. I need to buy a mosquito net."
Li Wu touched the bump; he was prone to getting bumps from mosquito bites.
"Grandma, it itches."
When Yang Yufen went over to take a look, she saw that the child had scratched himself quite hard, saying that it itched and scratching until his skin broke.
"Don't scratch. Grandma will buy you some medicine later. The mosquitoes here are too vicious."
Yang Yufen quickly wet a towel and applied it to Li Wu's face. The coolness helped Li Wu resist the urge to scratch. He then rummaged through his clothes and took out a long-sleeved shirt to change into.
"What's wrong with Li Wu?"
Teacher Gao rushed over after finishing her work and saw Yang Yufen covering Li Wu's neck with a wet towel.
"The mosquitoes here are so vicious. My child gets extremely itchy after being bitten. I'm thinking of buying some Tiger Balm and a mosquito net for him."
After Yang Yufen finished speaking, the other children started scratching themselves, and Teacher Gao noticed it immediately.
"I'll go get some medicated oil and mosquito coils for the kids first; the mosquitoes here are definitely different."
Teacher Gao quickly ran out again and returned shortly with some things. After handing the medicated oil to Yang Yufen, she lit the mosquito coil.
The mosquito coils are a bit pungent, but they are indeed very effective at repelling mosquitoes.
In just a short while, the children had already been bitten many times, with bites of all sizes all over their bodies.
Teacher Gao was a little scared. Usually, when they were bitten, they would only get a red spot. How could these children be bitten so badly? She quickly went to find a doctor to examine the children.
"It's nothing serious, just a matter of their constitution. They should eat light meals for the next few days and be careful to avoid them getting sick from the change in environment. We can let them eat seafood after they've had some problems. It's safer to let them eat the foods they're used to first."
