After hanging up the phone, Zhou Zhengting volunteered to drive to the post office to remit the money.
Jiang Qingyue had been busy counting money and making phone calls to discuss buying a house all morning.
Now that I have some free time, I quickly clean up the house.
Looking at the bright sunshine in the yard, Jiang Qingyue changed the sheets and pillowcases in the two bedrooms, threw them into the washing machine and started washing them.
After hanging up the sheets, Jiang Qingyue heard the sound of a group of children playing on the beach not far away.
I couldn't help but look up.
I saw many naughty boys in the compound going into the water.
During the hottest time of the day, many older children would go into the water, so Jiang Qingyue didn’t think much about it at the time.
But if you look more closely, you can see waves approaching from the distant sea.
Jiang Qingyue suddenly felt something was wrong, because the white waves seemed to be suddenly broken off, and the color of that section was obviously much darker.
It's a typical rip current!
In modern times, I have seen a lot of popular science information about this on the Internet.
If a child were unfortunate enough to encounter this, the consequences would be disastrous.
Jiang Qingyue didn't have time to think about it. She suddenly opened the gate and rushed directly to the beach.
He ran and shouted towards the beach.
Unfortunately, the ocean current was too fast, and Jiang Qingyue had only run halfway when she had to watch the waves rushing straight toward the sea.
Jiang Qingyue was so scared that she closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she found that there was no one on the sea.
Jiang Qingyue felt like her heart was about to jump out, and she looked back.
Just now, several children got ashore safely.
Jiang Qingyue ran over quickly, and then heard an unfamiliar male voice explaining the dangers of rip currents to a few children.
And they were told to be careful when going into the water next time, and not to stay if they encountered such a situation again.
Jiang Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, thinking that luckily the children all escaped.
Seeing that everyone was fine, Jiang Qingyue prepared to turn around and go back.
But she had just lifted one foot when she heard the strange man stand up and turn around and shout at her, "Comrade, hello——"
Jiang Qingyue turned her head and saw a fair-skinned man wearing glasses.
And some of them look familiar.
Thinking about it more carefully, it seemed to be the person I saw outside the synagogue yesterday at noon.
At that time, Hu Changying said that the man kept staring at her.
Why did he suddenly call me?
Could it be that we know each other?
Just as Jiang Qingyue was wondering, the man walked over and greeted her with a faint smile, "Hello, my name is Yan Wenbin, and I'm a new elementary school teacher on our island."
Jiang Qingyue nodded politely and said, "Hello, my last name is Jiang, and I live here."
Yan Wenbin smiled and said, "I know you. I met you at the commendation meeting yesterday. When I first arrived on the island, I heard about you and your husband, Captain Zhou, and I have always wanted to find a chance to meet you, but I was afraid to disturb you."
Jiang Qingyue suddenly realized, no wonder that man was staring at her yesterday, could it be because of this reason?
I always feel like something is weird.
Thinking of what he had just done when he taught the child about rip currents, Jiang Qingyue asked tentatively, "Is Teacher Yan a local?"
Hearing Jiang Qingyue's question, the other party was obviously stunned.
Then he quickly recovered as usual, smiled and shook his head, "No, I'm from Yuncheng. I've lived in Yuncheng since I was a child, and I just came to South Island recently."
Jiang Qingyue was puzzled and said casually, "I see, I just saw Teacher Yan pull several children out of the water in such a short time, I thought you grew up by the sea."
The corners of Yan Wenbin's mouth twitched, and he immediately replied, "No, there was a big river in my hometown when I was a child, and we swam in it since we were young, so I am quite good at swimming. Just now I saw that the waves were too big, so I pulled them up while persuading them to come out."
Jiang Qingyue nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
After saying a few words casually, he found an excuse to go home.
When Jiang Qingyue turned around, she saw Zhou Zhengting standing in front of the gate.
He was seen with his hands on his hips, looking at the beach seriously.
That expression was as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Jiang Qingyue smiled, quickly quickened her pace, and walked in front of him in one breath.
He smiled and asked, "You're back so soon?"
Zhou Zhengting pulled the corner of his mouth unhappily, "Do you think I came back too soon?"
After saying that, she frowned and glanced at the strange man on the beach.
Jiang Qingyue followed his gaze and then tried to suppress her smile and asked, "Captain Zhou, are you jealous?"
Zhou Zhengting didn't intend to hide it and nodded directly. "When I came back just now, I saw you standing on the beach and chatting from a distance. What were you talking about?"
Seeing that he was really anxious, Jiang Qingyue pulled his arm and said, "Let's go back to the house and talk."
As the two of them walked in, Jiang Qingyue told them about the rip current she had just seen, and how she wanted to run over to save the children, but found that the children were rescued by this man.
Zhou Zhengting frowned after hearing this, "Are you trying to say that you two just happened to meet at the beach?"
Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but roll her eyes at him when she heard that. "You only heard this after listening for so long? Didn't you find anything strange about what I said just now?"
Zhou Zhengting was probably so angry that he lost his mind. Now that he thinks about it carefully, he feels that something is wrong.
Seeing his wife's serious face, his tone softened, "Wife, do you think there is something fishy about this person?"
Jiang Qingyue frowned slightly, "I can't really explain it. Logically speaking, he was able to pull the children up in a critical moment, which shows that he is indeed a kind person."
"But it's just so strange. When I went there, I clearly heard him explaining the rip currents to his children, but when I asked him about it, he kept silent and just said it was because he was a good swimmer."
"Another thing. He said he had lived in Cloud City since he was a child and had just come to South Island. But how could someone who had never lived by the sea know about rip currents?"
Zhou Zhengting's expression changed slightly after hearing this. "It is indeed a little suspicious. Not to mention people who have never lived by the sea, even if you ask people who live by the sea in our compound, there are not many who know about rip currents."
“Usually only experienced fishermen along the coast would know.”
Jiang Qingyue nodded, "That's what I meant."
Seeing her serious look, Zhou Zhengting couldn't help but wonder, "By the way, wife, how did you know about rip currents?"
Jiang Qingyue, "..."
