Lin Xiuyao stayed at home for half a month. Kang Kang was on summer vacation, so the three of them set off for Hainan. They spent their summer vacation in Hainan this year, and the temperature in Hainan was particularly high in summer.
Lin Xiuyao rented a bungalow with a kitchen. This time they were staying for a longer period of time, so they did not stay in a hotel.
Su Qingmeng took out Shiseido sunscreen, and the family of three put on a layer and went out to the beach. Compared with the past two years, there are more services on the beach now. There are stalls everywhere selling goods, including swimming equipment, ice cream and drinks, tourist souvenirs, and many stalls renting beach chairs, sun umbrellas and tents.
Lin Xiuyao played with the mother and daughter for two days and then went to do his own things. The atmosphere in the entire city of Hainan was very agitated, with all kinds of fanatical expressions on people's faces, and they did not take money seriously during their conversations. Su Qingmeng did not want Kang Kang to be exposed to these extravagant things, so she took him to the beach every day to pick up seafood and cook it at home.
Hainan was rich in fishery resources at that time. The mother and daughter wore rain boots, took small shovels and basins, and picked up seafood when the tide was low. Su Qingmeng also brought a bag of salt and taught her son how to pick clams based on the half-baked knowledge she learned from watching videos of sea-hunting in later generations.
Looking at the small pot of clams that Su Qingmeng had harvested, Kang Kang looked at his mother with admiration, "Mom is so awesome." Su Qingmeng likes to go to the beach, she feels like picking up money.
"Mom, there's a crab," Kang Kang called out. Su Qingmeng hurried over and picked up its body with gloves on. "Hold it like this, or it will pinch your hand."
Kang Kang nodded, and the mother and daughter picked up oysters, various shellfish, crabs, starfish, conchs, and sea urchins. After returning home, they steamed them in a pot. She made an all-purpose seafood sauce, and the three of them praised the food highly.
"Mom, let's go seafood hunting tomorrow." Kang Kang has loved eating seafood since he was a child. He wrote about today's seafood hunting process in his diary today, and also wrote: The seafood is really, really, really delicious. In order to express his liking for it, he used three "specials".
Su Qingmeng took Kang Kang to go sea fishing. They rented a fishing boat and fished a few hundred meters away from the coast. The owner of the fishing boat looked at the mother and daughter as if they were being taken advantage of. No matter how many fish he cast, the net would not catch any. The two of them were fishing slowly, but Su Qingmeng paid him one hundred yuan an hour, and he was happy to make money.
"Mom, I caught a starfish." "Mom, there's a fish." "Mom, it's still a fish." Kang Kang kept catching fish, but Su Qingmeng's fishing rod was motionless.
She changed her position. "What's going on? Is this a case of choosing the right dish based on the context?" Su Qingmeng muttered softly.
"Mom, big shrimp." Kang Kang smiled proudly. He was actually better than his mother.
Lin Xiuyao returned home that night and found that the mother and son looked very different. Kang Kang was very excited, while Su Qingmeng looked very strange. "What's wrong?"
Kang Kang shared his catch of the day, "Dad, I caught all of them."
Lin Xiuyao praised, "Son is really amazing." He looked at Su Qingmeng, "Wife, what about you?"
Su Qingmeng glared at him, bringing up something that was irrelevant.
Kang Kang chuckled, "Mom didn't catch anything at first, but then she caught a sea turtle."
Lin Xiuyao touched his nose. He didn't expect his wife to have such bad luck. "The turtle is good. A thousand-year-old turtle is a ten-thousand-year-old tortoise. It's a good omen. So, what about the turtle?"
Kang Kang: "Mom said it's a protected animal, so let it go."
Lin Xiuyao: "Your mother is right. Protecting animals is everyone's responsibility."
Su Qingmeng: "What are you talking about? Go cook."
Kang Kang had a fulfilling and enjoyable summer vacation. He ate a lot of his favorite seafood and saw many beautiful scenery. He also painted a picture of the sunset at sea. His mother said that his painting was very artistic.
At the end of August, Su Qingmeng and Lin Xiuyao said, "Kang Kang is about to start school. We will return to Shanghai in two days."
"I'll take you back." Lin Xiuyao said.
Su Qingmeng: "You go ahead and do your thing, we'll just go back together." She wasn't some incapable little white rabbit, so she didn't need his over-protection.
Lin Xiuyao insisted, "The journey is quite long, and it's too tiring for you to look after Kang Kang alone. Let me take you there, and I can handle some company matters."
The family of three returned to Shanghai. Lin Xiuyao stayed for half a month and then left. However, before leaving, he took Kang Kang to the flower and bird market and bought a kitten. The company of a pet could divert some of his attention.
Kang Kang named the kitten "Duoduo". Duoduo is a yellow and white orange cat. With this kitten, Kang Kang is much busier. He plays with the cat every day, combs its hair, cleans its poop, and takes it for a walk.
There is a child younger than him who needs his care. Su Qingmeng feels that her son has matured a lot. Moreover, Kang Kang doesn't like to go out anymore after having a cat. She feels a lot more relaxed. Thanks to her husband, he still has a way.
In September and October, Lin Xiuyao was in Hainan and only came back for a few days. During dinner that day, Kang Kang asked, "Dad, are you going to Hainan to speculate on pre-sale properties?"
Su Qingmeng spat out a mouthful of soup. Fortunately, she turned her head in time. "Cough, cough, cough." Kang Kang quickly patted her back. After she calmed down, she asked, "Who told you that?"
Kang Kang: "My classmates said, if you want to make money, go to Hainan; if you want to get rich, speculate in pre-sale properties."
It seemed like the Hainanese wind had finally reached Jing'an No. 1 Primary School. She was curious about what the little kids were saying about this. "What did you all say?"
Kang Kang said, "My classmate said his dad went to Hainan to pan for gold and made a fortune speculating on pre-sale properties. Mom, what are pre-sale properties? Is panning for gold the same as panning for sand? Is there gold on the beaches of Hainan? Why don't I see any?"
Su Qingmeng thought about how to explain to her son, "Presale properties are houses, and houses in Hainan are very expensive right now. Your father is developing his career there, it's not a gold rush, that's just an exaggeration to describe that it's easy to make money in Hainan, it's just a means of attracting people, but Hainan does have great development now." Although the bubble soon burst.
