Chapter 364 Leisure
It was a rare holiday, Wang Yuanchao did not work overtime, and woke up naturally when the sun was already high in the sky.
The scorching sun shines on the earth, as if it can melt everything, and even the air becomes distorted under the sunlight.
After washing with well water, Wang Yuanchao saw the hot weather and suddenly lost the desire to go out. He sat alone on the porch of Liu Mei's house, feeling the non-existent sea breeze. As the temperature continued to rise, Wang Yuanchao's mood became more and more restless.
There was no air conditioning in those days, so there were ways to deal with cold weather, but when it was hot, all you could do was endure it.
One good thing about living by the sea is that it isn't that hot when there's a sea breeze. But when there's no sea breeze, Wang Yuanchao feels that the temperature is even hotter than inland.
I was sitting alone on the porch enjoying the cool air, and soon Liu Mei came back with Xiao Huaer.
"Uncle, uncle, are you up?"
Wang Yuanchao smiled, bent down, picked up Xiaohuaer and put her on his left leg and said, "Yes, where did Xiaohuaer go this morning?"
Xiao Huaer raised a finger seriously, opened her big cute eyes, and said proudly:
"Uncle, Xiaohuaer went to collect pig grass with Sister Yanyan and Brother Xiaoyi this morning.
Xiao Huaer is amazing, she picked a basket of pig grass."
Wang Yuanchao took out a White Rabbit candy from his pocket, peeled off the candy wrapper, and said in amazement: "Wow, Xiaohua is really amazing. She can collect a basket of pig grass in one morning. She can help her mother with work.
You are so sensible and awesome.
Come, uncle will give Xiaohua a White Rabbit candy as a reward.
Our little flower is amazing."
After being praised, Xiaohuaer opened her eyes wide, her eyes were full of surprise and joy . She straightened her chest, raised her chin slightly, opened her mouth proudly, took the White Rabbit milk candy that Wang Yuanchao handed to her into her mouth, and sucked hard.
Then she leaned on Wang Yuanchao's chest with a happy look on her face, hugging Wang Yuanchao with both hands.
Wang Yuanchao patted Xiaohua gently and said in a blaming tone: "I was so tired last night. Today the sun is so bright and it's so hot outside.
You went to the fields again so early in the morning?"
The corners of her eyes were soft and she smiled like a crescent moon, and she said obediently:
"No, my dear. Today the village is organizing a net-making activity. You guys came to purchase some. The secretary of the village is organizing the men to go out to sea to cast nets this afternoon. This time the village has taken out some of the damaged and unusable nets and asked everyone to repair them as much as possible and use them together.
Try to catch as many yellow croakers as possible and bring them home for you to take back."
Wang Yuan waved to Liu Mei, then patted his right leg, motioning Liu Mei to sit over.
Seeing this, Liu Mei sat obediently on Wang Yuanchao's right leg. Wang Yuanchao held Xiao Huaer on his left leg and Liu Mei on his right leg, and said, "Your and Xiao Huaer's health is the most important.
"As long as I'm here, you and your daughter won't starve. Don't do any hard work, okay?"
"Well, my lord, I will listen to you.
This time the nobleman brought a lot of food, and everyone was very happy. In addition, the harvest in the village was good.
This year, our Xiaowanghai Village can have a prosperous year.
The villagers are very grateful to you.”
Wang Yuanchao held the mother and daughter in his arms, shaking his legs and asking thoughtfully:
"Does everyone in the village know about our relationship now?"
Liu Mei was so limp from Wang Yuanchao's shaking that she leaned on his chest and said:
"Only Secretary Liu in the village knows about our relationship, but when you came here yesterday, many villagers went to move food onto the trucks.
And the people you brought here told the villagers that you specifically asked them to bring food here to help them solve their food shortage, so everyone is grateful to you."
Wang Yuanchao nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Our relationship is not something that can be made public, and I'm sorry that you've been wronged."
"My dear, Mei'er is not wronged. If it weren't for you,
Xiaohua and I used to be hungry every day and often couldn't eat enough.
Now our lives are much better.
Even the new house has been built, and my mother and I will have more and more hope for our future."
Wang Yuanchao could feel Liu Mei's deep gratitude, and after sighing inwardly,
Holding the mother and daughter silently, he looked at the endless Bohai Sea in the distance.
The three of them hugged each other on the porch and looked at the sea silently.
Xiao Huaer had no idea why her uncle and mother suddenly stopped talking.
But despite her young age, she was sensible and leaned obediently on Wang Yuanchao, closed her eyes and dozed off.
After a long while, Liu Mei lowered her eyebrows and said softly, "My dear, it's almost time for lunch.
I'll go make lunch. How about stewed goose in an iron pot?"
Wang Yuanchao kissed Liu Mei's cheek and said:
"Okay, put a few more potatoes in there."
Liu Mei stood up from Wang Yuanchao's legs, kissed Wang Yuanchao back, and said, "Okay, my dear, please wait a moment.
I cook quickly.”
"Okay, I'll put Xiaohua on the kang to sleep for a while, and you can take your time to cook. Don't be too anxious. It won't be too late to eat after Xiaohua wakes up."
"Yes, my Lord."
After watching Liu Mei walk into the kitchen, Wang Yuanchao Princess held Xiao Huaer in her arms and put her on the kang in the room, letting her sleep, then went to the porch and sat down to watch the sea.
Liu Mei's house is located on the coastline. Looking at the sea view house halfway up the mountain from a distance, it seems to be integrated with the sea.
Wang Yuanchao sat on the porch of the house, looking down at the endless sea in front of him.
At this time, a breeze was blowing on the sea surface, and the sea breeze gently brushed across the face, bringing the breath of the sea and the moist smell.
Wang Yuanchao smelled the scent of the sea and gazed quietly at the sparkling sea surface.
The sea is always so unpredictable. Sometimes, it is gentle, and the waves gently hit the shore, making a pleasant sound;
Sometimes, it is turbulent, creating huge waves and showing its power.
Wang Yuanchao just sat in the house by the sea and became a part of this beautiful scenery.
This state of harmonious coexistence between man and nature allowed Wang Yuanchao to let go of all his worries and fatigue, and to find a moment of peace in his mind.
Listening to the sound of the waves, feeling the flow of time, my thoughts also drift along.
Wang Yuanchao recalled the good and bad memories of his past and present lives, listened to the whisper of the waves, enjoyed the gifts of nature, and felt the beauty and tranquility of life.
He sat there motionless, lost in thought.
Time passed quickly, and Liu Mei's voice broke Wang Yuanchao's daze.
"My lord, my lord, the meal is ready, you can eat now."
After Wang Yuanchao came to his senses, he said loudly, "Okay, Mei'er, I'll go get Xiaohua'er and have dinner with us."
"Yes, my Lord."
After Wang Yuanchao walked into the room, he carried the sleeping Xiaohua directly to the kitchen.
After sitting down in the kitchen, I woke Xiaohua up to eat.
