Eating melons

Chapter 789 Trip to Hainan

Seeing the large bag of film, Xiao Xuemu raised an eyebrow and said, "Okay."

He was also very curious about what kind of photos Wei Wei took there.

Seeing that Wei Wei really had no time to pay attention to him, and was busy packing things and coaxing the little girl, Xiao Xuemu didn't force her.

Don't try to blend in if you can't, as this will easily attract dislike. Just grab the film and prepare to develop the photos.

At night, seeing that Wei Wei had no time to deal with him, Xiao Xuemu became unhappy. After coaxing the little girl to sleep, he carried her away. This is called taking action when the time is right.

Since handing over the space, the two of them have spent less and less nights in it. They would not spend the night in it unless it was necessary because there were so many people inside.

I used to like living in a space because it was convenient and quiet.

Now that it is just as convenient outside, it is no longer quiet inside, so the two of them spend less time living there.

Since returning, Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin have been busy with their work.

Xiao Xuemu had decided to go out and play with Wei Wei during the winter vacation and not stay at home alone.

After Li Zhibin learned about Xiao Xuemu's ambitions, he immediately became unhappy about being alone at home and started to get busy.

I want to take a vacation for a while when they are on vacation, but I definitely can't take that long.

But you can only play for a while. It’s not possible for everyone to go out to play while he is the only one at home working himself to death and then coming back to stay alone in the empty room.

Seeing the two of them like this, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi shook their heads and said nothing.

Anyway, their lives are very regular, especially Jiang Qi, whose only work is teaching and collecting rent. Wei Wei is a little busier, with more things to do and has to go out often.

The main thing is that the technology taken out of the system has been rolled out, and many things have been put on the agenda.

For example, building roads, railways, electricity, water conservancy and so on.

If we were to say what is developing the fastest, apart from agriculture, it would be electricity and railways.

In the past two years, there have been huge breakthroughs in electricity, and electricity has become popular across the country at a rapid pace. Another breakthrough is in roads.

If you want to get rich, build roads first. This is no joke. The country has given strong support to the popularization of roads and electricity, and it can be said that they are developing rapidly.

Jiang Qi felt the most deeply about this. Her hometown in her previous life was a small village in Hunan Province. She was born in 2000. In her memory, the electricity was not particularly stable when she was a child.

But if this situation were to continue, electricity would have been available throughout the country two thousand years ago.

So Wei Wei is not that idle. Although she doesn't know how to do anything, she needs to run around everywhere.

Busy times always pass quickly, and winter comes early in Beijing.

When the winter vacation was about to start, the capital city was already covered in silver, and the biting north wind felt like a knife on the face.

The Xiao and Li families accepted the fact that the six people were going out to play and not coming back for the New Year.

There are not many families like theirs who can celebrate the New Year with their family, especially in the past few years.

Therefore, we are not so particular about these things and do not take them too seriously.

It is a blessing to be able to celebrate the Chinese New Year and have a family reunion. If you can’t, it doesn’t matter. As long as everyone is healthy and safe, it’s fine.

Wei Wei, wrapped in a thick military coat, picked up her son Xiaotuanzi from kindergarten, but her heart had already flown to the warm Hainan.

"Mom, are we really going to a place with big ships and the sea?"

The little girl tilted her rosy face upwards, her eyes sparkling and full of anticipation.

Little Tuanzi inherited his parents' good looks, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, like a New Year picture doll, but people who are familiar with him know that this doll is incredibly energetic and is a real "little devil".

Fortunately, he was "disciplined" very well by Xiao Xuemu. Although he was naughty, he was polite and reasonable and never acted like a bully.

Xiao Yuanzi and he are the big king and the second king of the military compound.

All the children like them very much. There is no way around it, these two have a lot of good things in their hands, and even the older children like to play with them.

"Yes, let's go to Hainan. It's as warm as summer there now."

Wei Wei smiled and pinched her son's face, her heart had already flown far away. Even after so many years, she still couldn't get used to the dry winter in the north. It was really too dry.

On the day of departure, although the Capital Airport was not as prosperous as it is today, it was not old either.

The two four-year-old boys were extremely excited. Little Tuanzi was like a bird out of a cage. He pulled Little Yuanzi around in the waiting hall and was curious about everything.

"Dad! Dad! Is that big iron bird an airplane? Can it really fly into the sky?"

Little Dumpling pointed at the civilian airliner outside the window, a Soviet-made Tu-154, and his face turned red with excitement.

Xiao Xuemu patiently explained, "Yes, that's the plane. We'll take it to Hainan later."

Now the little girl couldn't sit still anymore, so she pulled Wei Wei and Xiao Xuemu in.

"Come on, let's go sit down."

Wei Wei held her forehead and said, "We have to wait a little longer. It will take a while for it to take off and reach us."

Looking at the extremely energetic little dumpling, Wei Wei thought of a way to make him quiet down for a while.

"Be good, go watch that plane and don't let it fly away, because we have to wait a while before we can go in."

Hearing this, Xiaotuanzi and Xiaoyuanzi pressed their faces against the glass, staring at the plane outside without blinking, for fear that it would fly away.

Seeing their sons acting so silly, Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin smiled and didn't disturb them from being silly.

After boarding the plane, Xiaotuanzi and Xiaoyuanzi's sense of novelty reached its peak.

The narrow seats, the small portholes, and even the seat belts were enough to keep the two little guys studying for a long time.

The stewardess, wearing the fashionable uniform of the time, smiled and gave candy to the children.

As the plane accelerated on the runway and a strong push on the back came, the little boy held his father's hand tightly, his eyes wide open, feeling both nervous and excited.

"Fly! Fly! We're leaving the ground!"

After passing through the clouds and flying smoothly, the scenery outside the window amazed even the adults.

The sky is blue, and underfoot is a continuous sea of ​​clouds, like a thick sea.

Xiaotuanzi and Xiaoyuanzi knelt on the seats, their faces pressed against the portholes, chattering non-stop.

"Mom, are clouds edible?"

"Dad, can we touch the sun?"

"Mother……"

"dad……"

"Aunt Wei..."

"Aunt Jiang..."

The two of them never stopped talking, but they knew they were in a public place, so their voices were not particularly loud.

But the childish words made the passengers around him laugh.

After several hours of flight, the plane landed at Haikou Dayingshan Airport.

As the cabin door opened, a warm and moist air blew in my face, forming a sharp contrast to the dry and cold winter in Beijing.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi immediately took off their outer military coats, revealing their inner woolen coats. Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin did the same.

Li Zhibin felt a little emotional when he felt the temperature difference. No wonder Jiang Qi asked him to wear this when they were in Beijing. It turned out to be because of this.

"Wow! It's so warm!" Little Dumpling was the first to cheer and couldn't wait to take off his thick cotton coat.

They stayed in one of the best foreign-related hotels in the area and booked a spacious suite.

The hotel has a strong tropical atmosphere. The courtyard is planted with tall palm trees, banana trees, and blooming bougainvillea, which are so stunning that even the children from the north are a little dazzled.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were also very curious. Neither of them had been to Hainan before and this was their first time. They had only seen it online before, so all this was a little strange to them.

After settling in, the first priority for foodies is to experience the local cuisine.

As children from the inland, especially Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin, two men from Beijing, and Xiao Tuanzi and Xiao Yuanzi, two children who have only lived in the inland, they are full of curiosity about the dazzling array of seafood.

The huge lobsters, plump groupers, strange shellfish...all opened their eyes.

"How do you eat this?"

Li Zhibin pointed at the shrimps on the plate, feeling a little unsure where to start.

"I'll teach you!"

Jiang Qi peeled a shrimp neatly and stuffed it into his mouth.

It's not just Li Zhibin, Xiaotuanzi and Xiaoyuanzi also don't know where to start.

Xiao Xuemu smiled and shook his head, skillfully helping Xiaotuanzi and Xiaoyuanzi process the seafood.

He had been here several times before because his cousin was serving in the army here, so he had some experience.

Of course, the greatest experience was learned from Wei Wei. Wei Wei's system mall has everything, and Wei Wei is a seafood lover. He has eaten and processed most of the seafood.

But at the beginning he didn't know how to get started.

In addition to seafood, tropical fruits make them feel extremely happy.

Bananas and pineapples, which can only be bought with tickets in Beijing, are surprisingly cheap here and are fresher.

Golden mango, red dragon fruit, sweet papaya, furry rambutan... Little Dumpling and Little Yuanzi ate until their hands and faces were covered with juice, and they were having a lot of fun.

When they were in Beijing, Wei Wei and Xiao Xuemu had no shortage of these things, but they had never been asked to eat like this, nor had so many things been brought to them at once.

Little Dumpling had not entered the space many times. Ever since he could remember and learned to walk and talk, Wei Wei and Xiao Xuemu had never taken him into the space.

When he was young, they rarely took him in. Although they knew that it would not have much impact on the bones, they still paid more attention to the child and would not let him go in if possible.

“This is called a coconut, right?”

The little girl held a green coconut with a straw in her arms and gulped down the coconut juice. Soon her belly became round.

Wei Wei nodded, "Yes, but don't eat too much, otherwise you won't be able to eat the other good things later."

Hearing this, Xiaotuanzi stopped eating immediately because he was already a little full, but there were other delicious foods. If he continued to drink, he would not be able to eat those foods.

But he was reluctant to give up the sweet coconut milk in his hand. After thinking for a while, he finally stuffed it into his father's hand. Out of sight, out of mind, he couldn't help drinking it when it was in his hand.

But Xiao Xuemu didn't want to take it, so he just gave it to the dog to drink.

In the following days, the six of them traveled to many places, including the ends of the earth and the corners of the sea, to see the huge rocks and the crashing waves.

We went to Luhuitou and listened to beautiful legends; on the fine white sand beach of Yalong Bay, we took our two children to build sand castles, pick up shells, and step on the waves.

The little girl's energy was perfectly released here. She ran wildly on the beach barefoot, and her laughter filled the beach like silver bells.

He was like a little warm-hearted boy, helping his younger brother Xiao Yuanzi wipe the sand off his face.

Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin also witnessed Wei Wei and Jiang Qi's playing ability.

When it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, these two guys are really good at it. No wonder they used so much film last time. They really know how to have fun.

In the past, Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin always made the plans when they went out to play. This time, the two of them just followed along and played for a while. Apart from the fact that their shoes were a bit worn out, there were really no shortcomings and it was extremely comfortable.

Hainan and the North can be said to be two extremes in some aspects, namely climate and diet.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi have adapted well to Hainan's humid climate. After all, Hunan Province was also famous for its "tide" in their previous life.

They were very comfortable with the spiciness of the local food, which made Li Zhibin a little surprised.

"I really underestimated your ability to eat spicy food."

Li Zhibin was choked by the chili pepper and kept drinking water. He knew that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi could eat spicy food, but he didn't expect that they could tolerate such a level of spiciness. Li Zhibin felt like his tongue was about to be broken.

Wei Wei raised her eyebrows proudly, "This is called a gifted talent, don't you understand?"

Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin, two northern men, naturally praised the warm spring-like climate and beautiful scenery.

But even Xiao Xuemu couldn't stand this climate anymore and grumbled in private.

"This place is nice, but it's too humid. I always feel sticky."

"Yes, it's still dry and refreshing in our north."

Hearing this, Wei Wei couldn't help but complain, "That's called dry and flaky skin. No matter how you take care of your skin, it will still flake and become dry.

Here, I save money on face masks and enjoy natural moisturizing every day."

Jiang Qi couldn't help but nod, "Yes, I'm still not used to the dryness in the north even after more than ten years."

Xiao Xuemu couldn't help but add, "But if you stay in this kind of environment for too long, you'll easily get rheumatism. It's not good to have too much moisture in your body, especially when you're old. It's very uncomfortable."

Wei Wei smiled and said, "So there are a lot of soups here that can remove dampness. The environment can't be helped, so the food has to make up for it."

Xiao Xuemu: ...

There are indeed no soups that can dry out dryness in the north, only soups that can reduce heat.

Li Zhibin has limited time, only ten days of vacation. There is another highlight for them to come here, which is to visit Xiao Xuemu's cousin, Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang is stationed on an island far away from the mainland and is now a regimental-level cadre.

The only way to get there is to take the army's supply ship to the island. They had already called to say hello, so just go when the time comes and someone will pick you up.

The island is not large, but it is full of greenery and the military facilities are in good order.

Xiao Yang has dark skin and a slim figure, and looks particularly energetic in his military uniform.

Xiao Yang and Li Zhibin are no strangers either, having grown up together.
