"Here we go again!"
"Ah! Pfft—"
"Bah bah!"
…
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, there was no sun on the edge of the bay, a group of men and women wearing swimming costumes walked to the depths of the sea, and then a wave hit, and the huge impact rushed back to the beach with people and lifebuoys. Struggling and thrashing in the water, when they stood up, the sea water had receded, and the depth of sea water under them was not even knee high.
"One more time, one more time! Go ahead this time!"
The children got up and jumped happily into the depths of the sea. There was a shark prevention net nearby, and the security guards surrounded the cordon with hemp rope. A group of people finally walked to the hemp rope and were swept away again. The impact of the incoming waves knocked people off their feet.
The brothers Lu Weizhou and Tian Dou Rong played in the sea with Doudou and Rong Rong. After being washed by the sea a few times, they felt bored and went to play in the sand with their brother.
Qin Rou and Lu Yan were sitting on a reclining chair, with a thatched umbrella on top of their heads and a sandy beach below them. The reclining chair was comfortably unfolded, and there were two green coconuts with straws on the table beside them.
With the gentle sea breeze blowing, Qin Rou took off her sunglasses to look at a few children not far away, thinking that this vacation day is really comfortable.
It's just that there are too few entertainment facilities now, and a water park will be built later, and more freshwater entertainment items will be added.
There are also several rows of small wooden houses near the bay, all of which are hung with wooden house seafood barbecues. The houses built by Qin Rou have invited people to run the barbecue food business.
The wooden house barbecue not only includes grilled oysters, grilled fish, grilled prawns, etc., but also gourmet snacks such as pineapple rice and coconut milk.
Lu Weize went to get a water gun, and the four brothers and sisters started a scuffle. Rong Rong was bullied so badly that she ran to Qin Rou's side, shouting loudly as she ran, "Mom, take care of Brother Dumpling!"
Brother Dumpling was not polite at all, even his own mother would still deal with him. Qin Rou got wet all over by him, "Dad, go and avenge me!"
Lu Yan threw a water gun to her: "We, husband and wife, work together."
Rongrong said: "I want to defeat the evil brother together with my sister and my parents!"
Lu Weizhou said from the side: "I will also defeat your evil second brother with you."
Lu Weize: "...traitor! Why am I an evil brother, brother, you have to stand by my side!"
Lu Yan said, "You two brothers, stay together and don't bully Wei Ze too much."
Lu Weize hugged his brother's shoulders: "We brothers form a united front!"
"Let's focus on attacking Rongrong now!"
As soon as Lu Sining heard this, he hid behind his own sister Lu Siyao: "Ah! Sister, help me!"
Although Lu Weize talked about attacking Rongrong, he actually greeted his own mother.
"It's called east and west!"
Qin Rou was furious: "You bastard! Surround him all!"
The family had a water fight at the beach, and Qin Rou urged Comrade Lu Yan to avenge herself. Lu Yan was not interested in playing this kind of water fight game at first, but later followed her, and led her two daughters to outflank their brother. Qin Rou took With a water gun, he made up a knife every now and then.
The last four played two and won.
Lu Weize was not convinced: "You have a large number of people, and you won't win with force."
Lu Weizhou: "If you lose, you lose."
"Go change clothes." Qin Rou took her two daughters to the shower room to take a fresh water bath to wash away the sea water from her body. If she didn't flush in time, salt grains would appear on her body.
After changing clothes, the family went to the wooden house barbecue restaurant, ordered food, and sat under the umbrella to grill by themselves. Here, the store can help you grill, or you can grill by yourself.
As the big brother, Lu Weizhou likes barbecue very much, so he took over the position of the barbecue master, brushing oil and sauce next to him, which made him very happy.
Lu Siyao said from the side: "My sister-in-law will be very happy in the future."
Lu Weize: "Is your second sister-in-law unhappy?"
"Second brother, you should do it too, and let my sister try your handicraft."
"Baked starfish for you."
"don't want!"
"I want to eat grilled oysters!!"
Lu Sining said: "Second brother, I want to eat baked buns!"
…
Lu Yan brought a bowl of coconut milk to refresh Qin Rou. Qin Rou ate a spoonful and fed him another spoonful. She smiled and said, "Now that the children are older, let's wait to eat what the children made." barbecue."
"Do you want me to bake some Pipi shrimp for you?"
Qin Rou: "... yes!"
Lu Yan smiled and went to the barbecue grill. Qin Rou sat on the wooden chair, half-closed her pretty fox eyes, and gently watched the father and son standing in a triangle barbecue.
Without looking carefully at what they bake.
—It’s really like three cumin-flavored roast lamb brothers.
"You, you are Qin Rou, remember me?" Qin Rou turned around, and saw a woman in a blue mermaid skirt and an orange scarf around her shoulders standing beside her. When she spoke, she took He took off the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, revealing a delicate face.
Qin Rou glanced at the woman's face, she was vaguely familiar, but she couldn't name her.
"We met ten years ago at the Jiaodao Retirement Center. My name is Yang Yue." The woman spoke.
Qin Rou was stunned for a moment, but suddenly remembered the identity of the woman in front of her.
A daughter-in-law who used to stand beside her mother-in-law with a low eyebrow. Her son fell in love with the little whale pattern on Zhouzhou Dumpling's chest, Yang Yue came to learn how to sew it, and her mother-in-law asked Qin Rou to sew it, but Qin Rou refused, and Yin Yang said Qin Rou was a lazy wife.
... Later, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a quarrel at home, and Yang Yue moved out of the rest house.
"I've been divorced a long time ago. I have a new husband and a five-year-old daughter. My family and I come to play on the island." Yang Yue smiled.
"I'm very happy to meet you. I've seen you on TV before. I didn't expect to meet you when I came to the island."
That incident at the beginning was the last straw that broke the camel's camel for Yang Yue, and it was also a turning point in her life. Yang Yue broke the boat and divorced. jobs.
After the economy opened up in 1978, Yang Yue was capable, caught up with the trend and opened a factory and became a female boss, and now her life is safe and smooth.
At this time, she recalled the previous days, and it was hard to imagine that the cowardly little daughter-in-law who had changed beyond recognition could be herself.
"The Story of a Travel Agency" was broadcast on the provincial TV station. Yang Yue liked watching this TV series very much. She also saw Qin Rou on the TV series, and even discovered the theme song "South Island" and the ending song "See you later" It was sung by Qin Rou.
Suddenly, she remembered the old events nearly ten years ago, that was seven or five years ago, and now it is eight or five years ago.
Ten years of vicissitudes have changed, and she has also changed from a submissive little daughter-in-law to a capable female boss.
There was an inexplicable impulse in her heart. She took her husband and children to Qiongzhou Island for tourism, and lived in the Seaview Hotel. She did not expect to meet Qin Rou by coincidence.
Seeing Qin Rou, she didn't know why, but Yang Yue felt very happy from the bottom of her heart. She wanted to be friends with Qin Rou before.
Yang Yue chatted with Qin Rou for a few words, her husband and daughter also came, and Qin Rou invited them to have a barbecue together.
"Are your two sons this old? That's right, it's been so many years."
"You still have a pair of twin daughters! Hello daughter! I don't have that kind of life to have a pair of twin daughters."
"We watched the TV series you made on Lu Provincial TV Station. You sing really well. I like the ending song very much. See you later..."
…
Qin Rou's family had a barbecue with Yang Yue's family, and then they went back to the Seaview Hotel. Yang Yue also asked Qin Rou to purchase a large number of South Island pearls.
"Many people from our side want to buy your South Island pearls."
"I'm going to take some boxes of pearl jewelry home with me."
…
Back in the room in the evening, Qin Rou was still thinking about meeting Yang Yue during the day, she ran to Lu Yan's side and lay on her stomach, sighing in his ear: "I didn't expect that ten years have passed."
Seeing that Yang Yue's family is happy now, Qin Rou is very happy.
In the past ten years, everyone has changed a lot. The Zhouzhou Dumpling brothers who used to be short and sturdy are about to become tall. Qin Rou, a mother, is still worried about the puppy love between these two handsome boys.
The son is so old and in middle school, if he really has a puppy love in the future, will she persuade him to quit or not
Lu Yan put his arms around her waist and held her in his arms: "We have been married for fourteen years."
Qin Rou smiled: "Wait a few more years to be grandparents?"
"Whether you can be a grandparent or not depends entirely on the abilities of your two sons, Comrade Xiao Qin."
Qin Rou clicked her tongue twice: "Isn't it because of you, Comrade Lu Yan?"
"Just like the father-in-law, urging the marriage!"
Lu Yan shook her head: "I won't urge you, let them do it themselves."
"I don't want to urge them either, it's up to them." Qin Rou didn't want to interfere with her son's relationship.
Now that the child is only thirteen years old, it seems too early to intervene.
"My father-in-law said, except for you, your old Lu family's marriages are all ancestral late marriages, and you have to wait until you are thirty."
"Our son will be 30 years old, don't worry." Qin Rou thinks that her son will be 30 years old at least 17 years ago. How can it be easy for these two people to get married early
Lu Weizhou is serious and studious. If Lu Weize goes to sea, it will be even more difficult to get married and find a partner.
There is no way they will get married as soon as they reach the legal age of marriage! ! !
"Lu Yan, I think the two of us may marry our daughters first and have grandchildren." The beautiful daughters who are more like her may find someone they like before the brothers.
"Huh?" Lu Yan tilted her head to look at her: "We will never marry our daughter first, and Lao Wang and Liu will come first."
"Don't mention the matter of marrying your daughter to Lao Wang."
Comrade Wang is reluctant to marry his daughter.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. They can talk to whomever they want, and it's up to them whether they get married or not."
In November 1985, Lao Wang's family and Lao Jiang's family from Liao Province went south to Qiongzhou Island. They first met Lu Zongyi and his wife in Guangcheng, and the old men took a boat to Lucheng together.
The old Wang and his wife also brought a young grandson with them, Wang Hu, who was in the navy, not long after graduation, and is currently transferred to the South China Sea Fleet. They also came here with their grandson this time.
Lao Jiang from Liao Province heard that he was going to Qiongzhou Island. It happened that the couple had watched TV dramas and wanted to see the scenery of South Island, so they decided to go south together.
Lao Jiang was the middleman who brought Lu Yan and Qin Rou back then.
"Old Lu, look at my eldest grandson, isn't he not bad, does he have the demeanor of your Lu Yan back then?"
His grandson's name is Wang Hu, and Hu means beautiful jade, and Yan also means beautiful jade. When Lao Wang secretly picked his name, he thought that Lao Lu would choose a beautiful jade. If you get a beautiful jade, maybe you can also face the wind like a tree.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that whatever the name is chosen, it can really achieve something. For example, his grandson, Wang Mengtian, obviously sounds sweet and obedient, but this granddaughter is obviously crooked. Now she has been admitted to a military academy and enlisted in the army , hot tempered.
Probably the same as Lu Xuan...
Lu Zongyi raised his eyebrows: "Like Lu Yan? Then I have to ask you, have you ever been so angry by your grandson every day?"
"Huh." Lao Wang snorted: "Haven't you heard of the next generation kiss? Only his father was so angry that he jumped, and our grandparents and grandchildren have a good relationship."
Lu Zongyi: "..."
—You old guy is quite happy to see your son jumping in anger at his grandson? Disrespect for the old.
Lao Jiang heard their conversation, and interjected from the side: "Your Wang Hu will also marry a little pepper in the future, do you want me to introduce it?"
"Old Lu said back then that he wanted to find someone with a hot temper for his son, the hotter the better!"
Lao Jiang has improvised several couples in his life, and has introduced partners to many people, but he has never seen Lu Yan and Qin Rou like this. When he first introduced them, Lao Jiang didn't expect them to be successful.
Who would have thought that a combination of an explosive barrel and a small chili pepper could really make a living, and the man's parents would often come to thank him for being the introducer.
Comrade Lao Jiang felt inexplicable.
After all, this is the most inexplicable couple he made up. Not only did they not scold him after they got married, but they often came to thank him.
He had introduced a couple who were a match made in heaven before. Both of them were very suitable in terms of temperament and family. Who knew that the two divorced in the end, and they scolded him as the introducer together.
The two later expressed feelings and sympathy for scolding him as the introducer, and they remarried again, which surprised the relatives and friends around them.
Alas, it's not easy to introduce someone anyway.
"Choose a little chili to live a prosperous life."
Old Wang felt frightened, and asked Ai Ai: "Can you really introduce a little pepper to my little tiger?"
Lu Zongyi was very supportive: "Little Pepper is good, Chuanxiang girl is good, she has a good voice and can sing."
Lao Wang: "..." Lao Wang felt that the little chili pepper married by the old Lu family was not the right one.
It's true that he has a good voice.
"Ask your grandson's opinion." Lu Zongyi glanced at his eldest grandson, thinking that this guy doesn't look like Lao Wang, and his personality is even less like his grandfather. He looks very energetic and looks passable, of course. , not as handsome as Yan Zai of his family back then, and even less as Comrade Lu's "look better than Pan An" when he was young.
Comrade Wang Xiaohu doesn't like to talk, and generally doesn't get involved in the conversations between the elders.
Wang Hu said coldly: "I don't talk about my partner."
Lao Lu came to Lao Wang's side and said, "Your grandson is not like my Yan Zai, but more like Gu Cheng of Lao Gu's family."
Old Wang's eyes widened: "?!!!"
Which pot are you not opening? ! ! ! !
"Old Lu, what did you say? The son of the old Gu family didn't get married until forty, right? The tradition of my old Wang family is early marriage,"
How could his grandson be like the son of the Gu family? ! ! !
"Old Gu will be in a hurry with you if he hears what you say, and spread rumors. My youngest son is not even forty."
"Isn't Gu Cheng older than your son?"
"You fart."
Although Lao Wang firmly believed that his grandson had an early marriage inherited from the old Wang family, Lao Lu's words did sound a wake-up call for him. He has several grandchildren, and none of them seem to have a partner in mind.
Especially this Wang Hu, his father was already married at his age back then, and as for him, he was able to say "I don't want to talk to someone" which is against the tradition of the old Wang family.
Lao Lu rubbed his hands secretly and said, "Perhaps your Wang Xiaohu got married later than my Zhouzhou Jiaozi."
The early marriage tradition of your old Wang family was cut off, and the early marriage of their old Lu family ushered in a new era.
Old Wang stared straight at his eyes: "Didn't you count how old your Zhou Zhou Dumpling is and my Xiaohu?"
"How is this possible, you old Lubie is beyond imagination."
"Maybe my great-grandson is ten years old, and your family's Zhouzhou Dumpling just got married."
Lao Lu shook his head. He thought that this time the old Lu family must have won. Zhou Zhou Dumpling still has several playmates of similar ages in the family courtyard, such as Wang Niannian from the Wang family. If they have formed a beautiful relationship, then when they reach the age of marriage, shouldn't the two children hurry up and get married
Of course, if there is no such thing, Lao Lu also believes that his two grandsons can find a partner as soon as possible.
Because they are as handsome as his father.
In the past, their father Lu Yan was not open-minded at the time, but now all kinds of dance halls and discos have come out, men and women are boldly courting, old Comrade Lu does not believe that his two grandsons do not have hot suitors.
Men chasing women, separate layers of mountains; women chasing men, separate layers of yarn.
"Then you old king just wait and see."
"It must be my Xiaohu who got married first. Lao Jiang, you have to help me." Compared with Lao Lu, Lao Wang trusted Comrade Lao Jiang, a classic matchmaker, and he was the introducer who could get Lu Yan settled.
Lao Wang has witnessed how difficult it was for Lu Yan back then.
Lao Jiang smiled: "What are you in a hurry for? Your Xiaohu has transferred to Nanhai now. I saw it on TV. It is said that there is a blind date show on this island. What else is there like a matchmaker?"
"Let your little tiger go and find the matchmaker."
Lu Zongyi laughed: "Then my two grandsons will get the moon first if they are close to the water."
Lao Lu felt that he had the chance to win. His youngest son was an emotional consultant praised by everyone, and his youngest daughter-in-law was a well-known matchmaker. I didn't believe that their children could not find a match, no! Can! able!
Old Wang: "..."
"I won't talk to you about my grandson."
"Then let's talk about our granddaughters, Lao Wang, my two granddaughters, Doudou and Rongrong, are like their mothers. They are good-looking children. One is now learning the violin, and the other is singing Cantonese opera. When we get to the island, I will ask them to sing for me." listen."
"My two good granddaughters will be admitted to art school in the future..."
Lao Wang put a blank face, thinking that I don't want to know about your granddaughter.
"How old is Doudou Rongrong in your family? The female college has changed at eighteen, and they haven't changed yet."
When Lao Lu and his party arrived on the island, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they got off the ship, "I'm old, I really can't stand it."
"Let's take a flight next time."
"Do you dare to fly?"
"Try it. If you don't try it now, will you have a chance to try it in the future? You are so old."
…
Lao Wang and his wife have not been to Qiongzhou Island for many years. The last time they came back was when they accompanied Lao Lu and his wife to visit relatives more than ten years ago. This time they came to find that the island has really changed.
There are a lot of people around the port, many of them are tourists who come to the island to play, and many of them bring their children. As soon as the children got off the boat, they immediately yelled "Wow, wow, wow".
There are several fruit stands on the side of the road, selling coconut mangoes and pineapples. The pineapples on the island are very sweet, so the group bought a few pineapples to eat.
Knowing that her parents-in-law and mother-in-law were coming, Qin Rou specially drove to pick them up. She also called a transportation company's car to take them to the family home.
Seeing that Qin Rou can drive, her mother-in-law Jiang Ping was surprised: "Xiao Qin, you can also drive?"
Unexpectedly, the youngest daughter-in-law can also hold the steering wheel and be a driver.
"Yes, mother-in-law, do you want to learn? My sister and I have learned to drive, and now my sister can drive on the road."
"I learn to drive? Can I learn to drive at my age?"
Old Lu smiled and said, "You learn how to drive, and you can take me for a ride in the future."
"You shameless old man? You want me to drive. Do you dare to sit in my car?"
Lao Wang said to his grandson, "Little Tiger, you should also learn to drive earlier."
Wang Hu didn't speak.
When they arrived at the family courtyard, the car was parked in an open space, and they walked to Lu's house together. There were so many people in the family, which attracted the attention of a group of people watching. The elderly couples will not talk about it, especially when they saw Wang Hu, a young man. The young man, the sister-in-laws in the family courtyard immediately became agitated.
Which boy is this? How old is it? Are you talking about someone? What is your job now? …
"Sister-in-law Qin, is someone coming to your house?"
"Hey, who is this? He is also an officer. He was just transferred to our place? Are these his grandparents?"
"You're only in your twenties, haven't you talked to someone yet? It will be fine in the future, let's introduce someone..."
…
Seeing this young officer who has not yet found a partner, the sisters-in-law's eyes lit up. This is a good resource. I don't know which daughter to marry in the future.
As soon as Lao Wang heard the voices of these enthusiastic family members, he immediately knew that his little tiger would not be alone for long, and he was determined to get married early.
He cast a look at Lao Lu: Look, my grandson is welcome.
Old Lu: "..."
Old Lu thought that my grandson would be more popular.
"Thank you sisters-in-law, I don't want to talk about my partner." Wang Hu said indifferently and calmly.
"How can we not talk about the partner? When you meet the right one, you have to talk about the partner. We have a lot of family members here. We can introduce you to whatever you want. Do you know about beauty contests?"
"There are many beautiful girls on our island. This year, another group of young girls came to our island. They said they would participate in next year's beauty pageant..."
"More than that, how many girls are here at Old Xu's house?"
"I guess it's also for the beauty pageant."
"They don't necessarily have to participate in the beauty pageant, they just like to come to our island, and they didn't say they want to participate in the beauty pageant."
"I don't believe it. You listen to her. When the beauty pageant starts next year, her family will definitely sign up."
…
Wang Hu is indifferent to these things.
He came here to fight for his career, not to find a partner. What's the point of finding a partner to marry? boring.
When I was in the military academy, many students secretly looked for a partner outside the school, thinking about the partner all day and night, busy writing letters and calling, and there was one in their dormitory who liked to read love letters, which annoyed Wang Hu very much.
He's not interested in who he's talking to.
"Grandpa and Grandma!!!!" Lu Siyao and Lu Sining were very happy to see Lu Zongyi and his wife when they came home from school.
"Oh, my good granddaughter, Old Wang, come and see my pair of good granddaughters, this is sister Doudou, and this is younger sister Rongrong..." Lu Zongyi took the initiative to introduce to Old Wang.
Lao Wang held back his words, thinking in his heart that he must not say anything that would make Lao Lu proud.
"My wife, why do I always feel weird?" Comrade Jiang from Liao Province felt weird since he entered the family courtyard, but he couldn't tell what was weird for a while.
"I just feel that the female family members here... I really want to meet them somewhere?" Even though they have never been to this place, they feel familiar.
Old Jiang's daughter-in-law snorted: "Where did you see it? Did you see it in your dream?"
"Don't talk nonsense, we are all old bones." Lao Jiang touched his nose, "Hey! Have we seen it on TV? By the way, aren't they tourists on the island?"
"Why do they all become family members again?"
