It's another beautiful day! Time flies by, and before we know it, it's the day before the May Day holiday.
To avoid the crowds of tourists during the holiday, Li Lin, Tang Youyou, and Yang Yi arrived a day early.
The thought of her two friends coming over today made Chen Zhiyao so excited that she got out of bed early in the morning.
After quickly washing up, she rushed to the window and forcefully ripped open the curtains.
The sun is shining brightly outside the window, and the sky is blue with white clouds. It's truly a wonderful day that puts me in a good mood!
The room next to hers was a guest room, which she had tidied up a couple of days ago. Seeing that the weather was nice today, she went over and opened the window to let in some fresh air.
This guest room was prepared for Yang Yi; the three best friends can just sleep together.
The three of them arrived at the high-speed rail station at around 11:30.
After breakfast, Chen Zhiyao hurriedly grabbed her things and went to the beach to go beachcombing.
Although we arrived a bit late, we still managed to collect quite a lot of fresh seafood thanks to the X-ray glasses.
Salt-baked whelks, salt and pepper mantis shrimp, steamed sea bass, stir-fried orchid crab, steamed scallops with vermicelli, mixed fish stew, stir-fried loofah with clams, and a stir-fried bok choy.
She had arranged a sumptuous seafood feast perfectly.
However, because she had to pick someone up, she only participated in the initial food preparation. The real chef, Grandma Chen, was in charge of cooking.
Standing at the entrance of the high-speed rail, Chen Zhiyao stared intently at the exit, eagerly awaiting the arrival of her two best friends.
In the past, her father would always pick her up when she came home from Guangzhou. This was the first time she had ever waited for someone at the high-speed rail station.
This role reversal felt somewhat strange and novel to Chen Zhiyao.
About four or five minutes later, suddenly, two familiar figures appeared in front of her.
Li Lin and Tang Youyou rushed towards him like two rapidly launched cannonballs.
Before she could react, the petite and sweet-faced Tang Youyou threw herself into her arms and excitedly exclaimed:
"Tangtang, I've missed you so much! It's been months since we last saw each other, didn't you miss me?!"
Immediately afterwards, a tall, cool woman wrapped her long arms around the two of them and said with a grin:
"Sister Chen, we've come to rely on you!"
In an instant, the three of them hugged each other tightly, their laughter echoing throughout the high-speed rail station hall.
After hugging for two minutes, Chen Zhiyao pulled the two of them toward a taxi nearby.
"Hurry up and get in the car, the family has prepared a huge seafood feast to welcome you."
"Sister Chen is awesome!" Li Lin, who is usually a cool girl, smiled like a silly big sister.
"Sister, my dear sister, I love you so much~" Tang Youyou, who has a more outgoing personality, hugged her tightly.
"Let me tell you, I personally went to the beach this morning to catch these fish, and they were still swimming before I cooked them."
"It must taste delicious."
"Stop talking, I'm already drooling!"
The three were walking along, chatting and laughing, when suddenly a furious voice came from behind them:
"Hey, hey, hey, what about me?"
Hearing the sound, the three of them realized that they had left Yang Yi behind.
They saw Yang Yi struggling to push two enormous suitcases, slowly moving towards their direction.
His handsome face was now filled with helplessness, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Hurry up! Why are you moving so slowly, like a snail!"
When Tang Youyou saw Yang Yi's appearance, she retorted to him without holding back, but her hands didn't stop moving at all.
She quickly stepped forward, took a suitcase from Yang Yi, and helped him carry some of the weight.
Li Lin took her suitcase from Yang Yi and smiled gratefully at him.
Yan Shuting knew that her daughter's friends were coming over today, so she came back early to help.
A seafood feast is nothing to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
As the group stood at the door, a rich and enticing aroma wafted into their nostrils.
Immediately afterwards, several sounds of swallowing saliva were heard.
Chen Zhiyao immediately quickened her pace and led the people into the house.
As you step into the courtyard, you see Grandma Chen standing at the kitchen door, wearing an apron and a kind smile on her face.
"You're back! Dinner's almost ready!"
Meanwhile, Yan Shuting busily moved between the dining table and the kitchen, setting out one exquisite and delicious dish after another.
The seafood feast laid out on the large table instantly attracted everyone's attention.
This seafood feast is so tempting to look at, and the aroma is even more enticing.
Chen Weiqiang and his grandfather went fishing at the breakwater again and won't be back for lunch.
Once everyone was present, Grandma Chen and Yan Shuting warmly invited the children to sit down and eat.
"Are you all hungry? Come and try the seafood feast that Auntie and Grandma Tangtang made."
"These seafoods were all picked up by Tangtang early this morning while beachcombing. They are very fresh and taste different from those farmed in farms."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were so hospitable, constantly serving food to everyone, and before they knew it, they were all stuffed.
After dinner, the three landlubbers, who had never seen the sea before, couldn't wait to urge Chen Zhiyao to go to the beach.
Looking into those three expectant eyes, she couldn't bring herself to refuse, and cheerfully gathered some of her usual beachcombing tools.
Before heading out, the thoughtful Chen Zhiyao explained in detail how to use these beachcombing tools.
She picked up various tools and personally demonstrated how to operate them, while explaining each step and precaution in detail.
Her demands weren't high; she just wanted to avoid hurting herself.
Since she wasn't alone this time, she didn't bring her multi-tool; she only brought ordinary beachcombing tools.
After the explanation, the group, each carrying a bucket, strolled slowly towards the sea, playfully joking around.
The journey was filled with laughter and joy.
Twenty minutes later, the group arrived at the village's white sand beach.
Looking at the fine, clean sand in front of her, Li Lin took off her shoes and walked barefoot on it.
"The beach here is so beautiful. The sand is fine and white, and it feels soft and comfortable underfoot."
Seeing this, Tang Youyou and Yang Yi also followed her and stepped barefoot onto the beach.
After walking a few steps, the young couple was attracted by the small flowers on the beach. Yang Yi curiously approached the flowers and said, "I thought there were no plants on the beach, but I didn't expect there to be such a large patch of green plants."
"Yes, these little flowers are quite pretty." Tang Youyou took out her phone and started snapping photos.
