Chapter 264 It's good to be fat, but the burden of having a baby is small
Blue sky, blue sea, golden sand, and a large wild coconut grove on the beach, black and brown coconut fruits are faintly visible among the leaves swaying in the wind.
Before He Wei got off the helicopter, she was fascinated by the fairytale island in front of her.
He Qingdong was dumbfounded when he saw her, pinched her cheeks funny, took off the thick hat and goggles on his head, and then removed the equipment for Xiao Nizi, opened the helicopter hatch, jumped down, and then went around to the other side, stretched out his hand and hugged Xiao Nizi down.
By the way, she put on a wide-brimmed sunhat, and although the sea breeze was not strong at this time, she still tied the hat cord to her.
"Do you like it here?"
This question is simply redundant.
He Wei happily spread her feet and ran towards the rippling coastline, ran for a while, turned around and waved her arms at He Qingdong, and then put her hands into a trumpet shape, put them to her mouth and shouted: "I like it so much!" ”
It would be nice to add the word "you" after it. He Dashao thought secretly.
But it was originally brought here to play, and she liked it.
He Qingdong crossed his arms over his chest, leaned on the side of the helicopter, watched from afar as the little man who ran away took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers, bent over and didn't know what to pick up on the beach, hooked his lips and smiled, turned around and took the camping backpack he was carrying from the helicopter, and walked towards the coconut grove.
The coconut grove is not far from the beach, but it is a bit sloppy, so to speak, condescending.
He Qingdong picked a vacant place with a wide field of vision, and the most important thing is that he could see Xiao Nizi when he raised his eyes, picked up a few reefs from all around, and built a simple stone stove in place. Then he quickly went into the woods and shook around, picking up a lot of dry branches and roots that were resistant to burning. A few more strings of ugly-looking wild cassava were dug up.
When I returned to the stone stove, I saw that Xiao Nizi was still squatting on the beach with great interest to pick up things, and shook her head with a smile. But he didn't call her, but went to the reef and dug up some sea silt, wrapped the cassava one by one, and threw it into the stone stove.
He took out a lighter from his backpack and set fire to the dead branches and roots buried in the cassava, and let it crackle.
A thick branch was chosen as a fire stick to control the fire to the extent that it was neither too small nor too small and would not be extinguished by the sea breeze. Then he threw the stick to the side and left it alone.
Take out a folding rod and a small jar of bait from your backpack and support yourself with one hand. Climb neatly onto the reef at the edge of the forest, load the hook with bait to lure the fish, and with a flick of the rod, the hook falls a few meters away into the sea.
He Wei picked up a lot of shells of different shapes on the beach barefoot. I was also lucky to find a palm-sized dried starfish and two empty conchs. Luckily, there is an eco-friendly bag in the backpack that can be folded into a strawberry shape when not in use, and when I open it, I put all the fruits in it and continue to pick it up.
This area of the sea is obviously undeveloped, and many treasures can be picked up on the beach, all of which are washed up by the waves.
Just after such a break, the environmental protection bag is already heavy.
He Wei counted the size of the shells she had picked up. You can make a few necklaces, bracelets, and even a shell sticker.
Dried starfish of various sizes were also picked up five or six. Eleven conchs.
And these are all carefully selected by her, with almost no flaws. If you don't count the flaws, you can pick up more.
But that alone was enough for her to be happy. You know, those beaches that have been developed into tourist attractions nowadays are extravagant to find a small starfish.
He Wei carried the heavy environmental protection bag and straightened up and bent her waist a little sore for a long time, and happily wanted to share it with Sergeant He, and looked up to see him sitting upright on the reef fishing, and couldn't help but be speechless. This guy was so well prepared that he even brought a fishing rod.
He Qingdong saw Xiao Nizi walking back with a smile on her hand, put away the fishing rod, lifted the three black catfish and sea crucian carp she caught, and jumped off the big reef.
"What did you catch?" He Wei put the bag at the foot of the helicopter, ran to He Qingdong's side, and asked curiously.
"One blackhead, two crucian carp. How about black fish stew and crucian carp grilled and grilled? ”
He Wei was dumbfounded: "Stew? Did you bring a pot with you? ”
"There's a helicopter, I'll get it later."
He Qingdong accompanied her back to the stone stove, took out two bottles of mineral water from her backpack, drank some water first, and then climbed the coconut tree with a fire stick and laid down two large brown coconuts, cut one of them with a sharp dagger, inserted a straw into the carton of milk, and let her hold it and drink it.
"You drink too." He Wei tasted it, felt that it was much better than the fresh coconut bought in the fruit store, stood on tiptoe, and handed it to He Qingdong's mouth.
Don't get me wrong, there are two straws.
However, He Dashao didn't use the newly inserted straw, and took a sip directly on the straw she had sipped, looking at her with a smile and saying, "It's delicious." ”
He Wei blushed. Turned his head and ignored him.
He Qingdong smiled and began to cook the sea fish.
After a thrilling return to the kitchen at his future mother-in-law's house, he vowed to learn how to cook well, at least not to let his mother-in-law frown when she heard him cook. Therefore, after practicing for such a long time, although there is not much improvement in the dishes, when it comes to killing fish, I have practiced to the extent that I can cut and clean the fish with my eyes closed.
Quickly remove the scales, cut the belly, wash it, and then take out the seasoning composed of salt, cumin, pepper, pepper, etc., and smear it on the fish. After a short marination, the two crucian carp were skewered on a twig, smeared with olive oil, and grilled on a stone stove.
"You look at the fire, if it's burnt, turn it over, be careful, don't be splashed by sparks, I'll go get the pot."
"Okay."
The coconuts have all been shared, so there's nothing to be shy about.
He Wei sat cross-legged by the stone stove, tending to the grilled fish that was gradually turning brown.
He had his coat under his buttocks, saying that there might be worms in the sand, telling her not to sit directly, and his own coat was stuffed into his backpack.
He Wei carefully roasted the increasingly fragrant crucian carp, and her stomach gurgled.
If I hadn't drunk most of the coconut water just now, all the hungry worms would have come out, which was so fragrant.
He Qingdong went and returned. There is a stainless steel milk pot in his hand, as well as two pure white ceramic bowls and two matching soup spoons.
It just so happened that the crucian carp was almost grilled. He moved the makeshift grilled fish rack, which was actually a tripod supported by a few strong branches, to the side, put the milk pot on the stone stove, opened a bottle of mineral water and poured it in, threw a few pieces of old ginger into it, and when the water boiled, he put the blackhead fish cut into small pieces.
Blackhead fish are relatively large. Although the head and tail were lost, only the middle part of the meat was left full, and the medium milk pot was still full.
Sprinkle with salt and cover the pot. When the fish soup was boiling, he pulled out the cassava buried in the fire, extinguished the roots of the trees that burned the most, and let the fish soup simmer slowly.
He Wei squatted next to the black cassava. Curious, "What is it?" ”
"A kind of sweet potato. Would you like to try it? ”
He Qingdong picked up a cassava and peeled off the dried silt, and the ugly skin of the previous layer also peeled off automatically as the silt peeled off, revealing fragrant white meat.
"Here, take a bite." He Qingdong scooped a piece of powdered tapioca meat with a spoon, blew it a few times, and handed it to He Wei's mouth. "Slow down, be careful of burning your mouth."
He Wei tasted it carefully. Apricot eyes lit up.
"How? Is it tasty? ”
"It's delicious, much better than sweet potatoes."
"There is plenty of sunshine here, and although there is a lot of rain, because it is sandy soil, it penetrates quickly and is not easy to accumulate water, so it is relatively sweet, and the taste of raw food is also good, crisp and sweet." Seeing that she liked it, He Qingdong put the peeled one in her bowl and let her dig it with a soup spoon to eat.
And then peeled one myself.
The two sat down next to each other to start today's lunch.
Cassava is wild, so it's not big, and after one eats it, the two share the grilled crucian carp.
The crucian carp is grilled until the skin is golden and crispy, but the meat in the skin is very tender.
"Delicious! What seasoning did you sprinkle? It feels better than the grilled fish sold on the street. ”
"I deserve it casually." He Qingdong saw that she liked it, and used the tip of the dagger to remove the belly meat of the two crucian carp and gave it to her, "Eat slowly, be careful with the bones." ”
"You eat too." He Wei insisted on giving him half of the belly meat, "I can eat fish, and the crispy roast of the tail is more delicious." ”
"Don't eat anything that's too burnt. If you like, let's catch a few more. ”
"It's enough to eat, isn't there still fish soup, I'm worried that I won't be able to finish it."
And the wild fishing is so accurate, he can catch whatever he wants, he can really think.
"Do you like oysters or not? There are quite a few on the reef, so I'll take you to dig them later? ”
"Is this a treasure land? How to have everything. He Wei laughed happily while eating, "How did you find out?" ”
“…… Discovered by accident during a task. ”
Definitely not telling the truth.
for the roots of his ears were red.
He Wei glanced at him, smiled and retracted her gaze, and didn't ask any more.
He Qingdong was relieved to see that she didn't ask any more questions.
The process of discovering this isolated island, cough, it's a bit embarrassing to say it.
It was his first year in the special team, and he participated in the intensive special training organized by the team, among which parachuting was his weakness.
At that time, a total of 12 team members participated in the parachuting training, but he landed wrong and floated to an isolated island, how can such a shameful thing be said?
So He Dashao changed the topic stiffly: "I'll go and fetch some coconuts, this thing won't break for a few days, you can take it back to school to eat." ”
After he finished speaking, he took the fire stick and went to the forest to thresh coconuts.
[What a lame way to fork the topic. The system can't stand it.
He Wei couldn't help but smile and turned her attention to the soup pot, Sergeant He must have forgotten that there was still a pot of delicious fish soup waiting for them to solve.
He Qingdong climbed three old coconut trees, laid a total of more than 20 mature coconuts, and then went to the helicopter to get a sturdy woven bag, and after throwing all the coconuts into it, he went to the cassava growing ground to dig a few strings of cassava, and stuffed them into the woven bag, and then returned to the stone stove, and saw that He Wei was already serving fish soup, so he walked over and kissed her, "Wife." ”
It's a no-brainer.
After drinking the fish soup, He Wei rubbed her little belly and leaned on the trunk of the coconut tree and sighed contentedly: "Eat so much, if you eat like this every day, you can gain ten pounds in less than a week." ”
He Qingdong smiled and continued: "Well, it's good to be fat, and the burden of having a baby is small." ”
He Wei: "......"
Has Hongu agreed to give you a baby?
Afternoon time flies. The two sat under the coconut tree and took a nap, and when they woke up, they rolled up their trousers and went to dig oysters by the reef.
He Wei didn't dare to dig at first, but when she saw one for a while, she went up and dug one with her own hands, and she felt a sense of accomplishment, and she was not afraid of these little things.
He Qingdong saw that she was digging very happily, and instead caught "Stone Clip Red", a kind of sea crab, in the crack of the reef.
By the time He Wei had enjoyed digging oysters, he had also caught twenty or thirty "stone clips".
"Let's go! Bake it as a snack. ”
He Qingdong took her hand, carried the two net bags, returned to the stone stove, and roasted oysters to eat.
As for crabs, because they are easier to survive than oysters, He Qingdong asked He Wei to take them to school to eat, and it is a very good choice to make tofu soup or vermicelli soup at noon tomorrow.
He Wei looked at the crabs full of nets, and was worried: "How can I finish eating so many by myself, you can also bring some back." ”
"No, I have a new mission starting tomorrow, and I don't have time to eat it."
In this way, He Wei thought for a while and said, "Then why don't you give a few to Uncle Mei, as well as the doorman uncle and the dormitory aunt?" They usually take care of me. ”
"Whatever you want." He Qingdong rubbed her head and said, "If you like it here, I'll bring you here next time I rest." ”
"Can you come again?"
He Wei is really reluctant.
"Of course, as long as we are free, you can come every day."
Although I knew that this was unrealistic, and I knew that he was coaxing her, I was still very heartwarming.
The result of the heartwarming was that he was tired of being hugged by him for a while.
It wasn't until 3 p.m. that the two boarded the plane back with their catch.
When He Qingdong sent He Wei to the school gate, it was exactly half past five, and he sent eight "stone clip red" to the doorman, drove the car directly to the downstairs of He Wei's dormitory, and after carrying the woven bag containing coconut and cassava to the dormitory, he took her to the cafeteria for a small stir-fry.
The canteen opened at four o'clock, and there were almost no people at six o'clock, especially the whole small fried canteen, just the two of them eating, but comfortable.
"No one has bullied you lately, has it?" He Qingdong asked as he served her soup.
"Nope." He Wei shook her head, bit her lower lip, and said hesitantly: "Externally, I call you my brother." ”
He Qingdong glanced at her with a little meaning, but didn't say anything more, and handed the soup to her, "Eat." ”
Brother, brother, sooner or later, let her change her mind.
He Wei peeked at him, and seeing that he didn't look like he was angry, she exhaled lightly, held the soup bowl, and took a small sip of the hot tomato and brisket soup.
After dinner, the two parted ways. One went to the classroom for evening self-study, the other drove back to the station, and the short but romantic date ended happily. (To be continued......)
