Chapter 116

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the train arrived at the station, five or ten minutes earlier than the scheduled time.The soldier brother who was in the same car exchanged phone numbers and mailing addresses before getting out of the car. He looked like a tough guy, but he didn't expect to speak with unexpected enthusiasm.

Aunt Xiao sent them out of the station during the parking time, "I don't know if the person who picked you up is here, why don't you make a call?" If the two little girls were not handed over to the person who came to pick them up, they turned around and lost She can't afford it.

Aunt Xiao took them to the canteen in the train station and borrowed someone's phone number. Zhou Yu dialed it, and the other side quickly picked up who they were. She immediately knew who they were and said, "Is it the girl from Zhou Zhishan's family? Your Uncle Tang has already I'm going to pick you up, you wait there."

Aunt Xiao left in peace, Zhou Yu and Lin Mei dragged their luggage outside to wait.

"It is said that it has come." Zhou Yu said, "My dad showed me a photo of Uncle Tang." But it was 20 years ago, and Zhou's father in the photo was only 19 years old, and Uncle Tang was the same age.

"Then do you recognize it?" Lin Meimei smiled.

Zhou Jie was not sure, but she said: "My dad also gave him my photo." So even if she couldn't recognize him, he should be able to recognize her.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, a person who at first glance looked a bit like Dr. A Li from Detective Conan came towards them.He was wearing a white shirt and hurried over, sweating all over his head.

Lin Mei hurriedly asked Zhou Yu: "Is it your father's comrade-in-arms?"

Zhou Yu carefully identified them, and always felt that the eyebrows and noses were similar, but the difference in body shape was a bit big. Uncle Tang in the photo 20 years ago was a thin man.

The man came over and stared at the two of them, and said, "Is your father Zhou Zhishan?"

Zhou Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried forward to call someone, "Hello, Uncle Tang." Then he introduced Lin Mei, "She is my good friend."

Uncle Tang took the luggage of the two of them, and he didn't recognize the stranger at all, and began to complain to Zhou Yu's father very affectionately, "I asked him to send someone to pick you up, but he just let you two children get on the bus. "He said and took out a photo to show them, "He asked me to recognize you according to your photo."

Lin Mei and Zhou Yu hooked their heads to look, and saw that Zhou's father was holding little Zhou Yu, who was at most two years old.

Lin Mei: ...

They both laughed, Uncle Tang put the photo back and smiled wryly, "You said your father..."

Uncle Zhou is usually a very thoughtful person, but he didn't expect to be so sloppy.

Uncle Tang is married, his son is studying abroad, and there are only his wife, Aunt Tang, and Grandma Tang at home.Grandma Tang was a little confused. Seeing Zhou Jie and then Lin Mei, she said to Uncle Tang, "Your comrade-in-arms gave birth to twins!"

Zhou Yu and Lin Mei are about the same height now. They both wear long black hair and ponytails, and wear the T and denim shorts they bought together. Grandma Tang may be mistaken, and she even gave Lin Mei a nickname, "Xiaomei". ".Lin Mei agreed hahahaha.

In order to welcome the two of them, Uncle Tang borrowed a car under the pretext of taking them to the beach to eat seafood on Sunday.If you want to swim, you can take a bus, there is a special direct bus, and Aunt Tang will just send them to the bus station.

The meal that night was a large bowl of seafood, each with its own umami taste.

"You two little girls are really brave." Aunt Tang said, "Your brother is a boy and older than you. I didn't agree to his desire to go out for a ride last year."

Uncle Tang thought that his son should be allowed to go, and said, "If he still wants to go this year, let him go. Cycling is also very meaningful."

Aunt Tang said with a dark face, "I heard him talking on the phone with his classmates. Last time I wanted to ride to Sichuan, I said to accumulate experience, and I want to ride to Tibet in the future, so I can't let him go!"

Uncle Tang fell silent, and after a while quietly muttered: "Going to Tibet is more meaningful." Seeing Aunt Tang looking over, he immediately turned his head to pick up food for Zhou Hao and Lin Mei, "You're welcome, it's like being at home here, eat Come on, let's eat."

That night, Lin Mei and Zhou Yu lived in Uncle Tang's son's house.Even though he went to school, the room was cleaned very clean. Aunt Tang bought new sheets and towels for the two of them, even a new toothbrush.

In the morning, both Lin Mei and Zhou Jie got into the habit of waking up at six o'clock.The Tang family also got up, and Aunt Tang saw them coming out and said, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? Your Uncle Tang went out for a run, why don't you go out for a walk too? It's in the garden downstairs."

Lin Mei and Zhou Yu came out, and there was always a feeling that they would cause trouble to others when they were in other people's homes.

After coming out, Zhou Yu quietly discussed with her, "Why don't we tell Auntie to let us go out for a walk in the morning?"

In fact, Lin Mei thought so too.Waiting for Aunt Tang or Uncle Tang to take them out when they are free will bother them, and it does not match their original intention.

The two agreed that they wanted to go out by themselves after breakfast after shopping.

Uncle Tang has to go to work today, and Aunt Tang also has to go to work. I wanted these two children to stay at home with Grandma Tang, but after all, they are not my children, and besides, they are so old.Aunt Tang repeatedly asked them to memorize the address and phone number here, as well as the phone number between her and Uncle Tang's work unit, "If you don't come back for dinner at noon, just call back."

Aunt Tang also forced them to pay 200 yuan. Both Lin Mei and Zhou Yu showed her the money in their pockets. What should I do if I don’t have enough money?”

How could it not be enough?Lin Mei didn't even know that Zhou Jie had brought a thousand.

After the two came out with their bags on their backs, she asked Zhou Jie, "Why do you bring so much cash?"

Zhou Hao also said with blood on his face, "I saved more than 600 and brought them all. My dad gave me [-]. He Qi gave the remaining [-]. He said he asked me to bring him a gift. .”

This boy is so interesting.

Speaking of He Qi, Lin Mei saw the phone on the side of the road and asked Zhou Yan if he wanted to call He Qi?Last night, they only called Mama Lin and Papa Zhou respectively at Tang's house.Certainly no longer make long-distance calls to classmates.

Speaking of calling He Qi, or calling him out of town, Zhou Jie felt shy.Push Lin Mei over first: "You hit, you hit first."

Lin Mei had no choice but to call Mama Lin first.

Mother Lin was startled when she received a call at work: "What happened? I lost the money?" When she was away from home, she was most afraid of the child losing the money.

Lin Mei hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, I just told you that we will walk around the city today and go to the beach tomorrow."

Mama Lin was relieved, and reminded her to be sweet-talking and diligent when living in someone else's house, so as not to cause trouble for them.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mei stepped aside and said, "Go ahead and call."

Zhou Hao stepped forward, and Lin Mei thoughtfully turned aside to buy a drink.The two of them went out today in a light pack, because they brought enough money, so they planned to eat and drink outside, buy a map and then set off.

When she heard Zhou Jie, she still called Zhou's father first, and then called He Qi last.

Lin Mei stopped listening out of politeness, but Zhou Jie came over in less than 2 minutes. "What's the matter? How do you say it's so fast? He's not at home?" Lin Mei said.

"Yeah." Zhou Yu was dejected, "He's not at home, he went to his aunt's."

Lin Mei could only pat her comfortingly.

Sightseeing in the city is shopping, basically there is no big difference between the city and the city.The two of them just took the bus to the commercial street, where they ate fresh-cut fruits and grilled squid, as well as large cans of commercially available iced black tea.The tea taste is very weak, but the portion is huge, with a lot of ice cubes in it.

The two ate all-you-can-eat grilled squid skewers on the street for lunch, and in the afternoon they got to know the area well. There were many shell necklaces and shells sold in the street stalls.

"Do you want to buy it?" Zhou Yan couldn't help but want to buy it.

"Let's go to the seaside to buy it tomorrow, it's definitely cheaper there." Lin Mei said.

In the end, the two of them went home with a full stomach of grilled squid and black tea.

The next day I went to the beach, and when I got there, I could see stalls for renting umbrellas, chairs, and deck chairs by the roadside. The stalls selling swimsuits, swimming rings, etc. were almost connected together, which shows how many people swim here.

When the car drove further in, you could still see chartered boats. Uncle Tang said, "If you can stay for a few more days, I'll take you on a boat trip next week."

"No, no." Lin Mei and Zhou Yu said quickly.

There are more people at Hai Tan than imagined, but Hai did not imagine China and the United States.Lin Mei had never been to Rizhao, and she was surprised when she saw the dim sea like the Yellow River.When she was studying abroad, she passed by the seaside more than once, obviously the sea over there was blue.

But the coastline in the distance is blue, very deep blue, thick and mysterious.

Lin Mei and Zhou Yu went to change into their swimsuits, and they had to wear bath towels to come out, because they felt chilly after changing their clothes, and when the breeze blew, they felt goosebumps all over their bodies.

The two came out with their arms folded and their necks tucked in. Aunt Tang looked at them from behind and laughed, and led them to the beach: "It won't be cold when you go down."

From a close look, the sea water is actually not that yellow, but it is indeed a bit windy today.Aunt Tang looked at the sky and said that it was going to rain. Lin Mei and Zhou Yu were both worried and asked if it was raining and they should go back early? "It's okay, it's in the sea anyway, it doesn't matter if it rains." Aunt Tang said.

The waves came in wave after wave, unlike in the swimming pool where there is a regularity, it is sometimes rushing and sometimes slow, Lin Mei and Zhou Yu were not used to drinking sea water at first, Aunt Tang smiled: "Is it bitter and salty?"

I really don't feel it.The two simply picked up the water and took a sip, savoring the taste of the sea water.

Aunt Tang didn't let them swim far, so they could only float in the water wearing swimming rings, and they were not allowed to take off swimming rings.

After drifting for a while, Uncle Tang called them to go up, and then asked Lin Mei and Zhou Yu if they wanted to make a motorboat and let them take them for a walk in the sea?
"It's not fun to just float around, let's go around." Uncle Tang said.

Lin Mei and Zhou Yu put on yellow life jackets respectively, and were led by the charterer to the sea and came back screaming.

Aunt Tang helped them record this unforgettable scene with a camera.

Before leaving, Uncle Tang took them to eat at a food stall by the sea.Naturally, the two bought a lot of souvenirs happily, such as coral trees, big snails, starfish and shell bracelets and necklaces.

"Very good, very good, are you having fun?" Mother Lin said, looking at all kinds of conch shells that even covered the sofa in the living room.

"Happy, it's fun." Lin Mei was a little emotional.Before studying abroad, she thought about going abroad to have fun, but after she really went out, she was reluctant to spend money to travel around during the holidays. Occasionally, she went out to visit friends or classmates in other cities, and was also invited to Christmas dinner.So the photos she brought back to China were almost all of the city streets or the Washington Bridge, and some were taken in front of the villas of her classmates.

After returning home, I lost the feeling of relaxed and comfortable travel.

As a result, it was only now that she enjoyed traveling for the first time.So even though it was only two days, it was very fulfilling.

"How many photos did you take? Let me have a look at them later," said Lin's mother.

"Not many photos." Lin Mei said with a wry smile.I took out six rolls of film, but only one roll was taken, and all of them were taken when I went to the beach.On the first day of shopping in the city, I didn't take any pictures at all. I completely forgot about it. The main reason is that I couldn't see the good scenery in the pictures.As for the photos on the second day, Lin Mei can fully imagine, at the seaside, with the gloomy sky above her head, no sunlight, she and Zhou Yan with wet hair and bath towels, you don’t need to think about beauty and romance It can only be regarded as a faithful record of their memories of this trip.
