Chapter Seventy-Four: Stealing Half a Day's Leisure
Zhang Min's "Minmin Hotel" is a small three-story building that is not very old, and the lobby on the first floor has been transformed into a simple dining room, with two round tables and four square tables. According to her, the restaurant is mainly for guests who come to travel, and Mingyue Village is not big, and there are even fewer restaurants.
It is indeed not convenient for guests to eat in the village, Zhang Min thought about making a few dishes simply, and he was still competent. Besides, there are not many small fishing villages, but there are many seafood, and those ingredients are steamed and boiled indiscriminately, which is still more attractive to people in the city who are used to paying for thick oil red sauce.
At the back of the dining room is a small kitchen, and on the other side of the kitchen is Zhang Min's room. The second and third floors have been converted into guest rooms, with five rooms on each floor measuring around 20 square meters. Although the rooms are not large, Zhang Min still built toilets and shower rooms in each room.
Because of the colleague relationship with Huang Xiaosong, Zhang Min said that three meals a day would be given to us, and we would eat whatever she ate. In terms of accommodation, we were given a room on the third floor facing the sea. Jiang and I live in a double room, and Li Rusong lives in a standard room next to us.
The room is relatively simple, except for the bed and cupboards, plus two rattan chairs, there is an old-fashioned color TV. Although the layout is simple, I can also see Zhang Min's intentions, I don't know if it's because of Huang Xiaosong, the sheets and quilt covers have been replaced with new ones.
Open the window of the room, and as Zhang Min said, as far as the eye can see, you can see the blue sea.
Jiang Lina was infected by the scenery in front of her, leaned back into my arms, and looked at the sea in the distance under the sunset with me. He whispered to me, "It's beautiful here, it's nice that we can live here forever."
I hugged her body and replied indifferently, "If you like, let's stay for a few days every year."
Jiang Lina nodded, closed her eyes, slowly turned around and leaned her lips towards me, and just as I was about to bow my head and kiss it, I suddenly heard Li Rusong's untimely voice:
"Holy! It's not dark yet! ”
I looked at Li Rusong who broke into the door and said hatefully, "Your uncle! ”
After saying that, Jiang Lina and I quickly separated, and asked him if he was not resting in his room, why did he come over?
Li Rusong said embarrassedly, "Hehe, what's that, it's not too early for me to think about it, it's time to eat......"
At this time, I realized that it was almost 6 o'clock in the afternoon, "Didn't Zhang Min say that she arranged three meals?" It's not that we haven't been called yet. ”
Before the words fell, I saw Zhang Min appear outside the door, and said with a smile, "Didn't I come to ask you to eat?" ”
On a square table in the restaurant on the first floor, Li Rusong looked at a table of all kinds of seafood that could not be named, his face was full of joy, and he rubbed his hands and said, "It's too expensive, it's too expensive!" ”。
Zhang Min motioned for us not to be polite, and sat down, "Hey, what's the cost, that is, you people in the city don't eat much, and it's not unusual for us to thank you in the fishing village!" ”
As he spoke, Zhang Min picked up a few bottles of cold beer from under the table and handed them to me and Li Rusong, "It's not been frozen for long, and I don't know if it's cold or not, you guys, just drink it!" With Jiang Lina's hand sitting next to her, she said, "Lina, let the old men drink the wine, and our sisters drink coconut milk!" ”
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Gradually, we became familiar with Zhang Min. Zhang Min belongs to the kind of person who is more informal and arrogant, and the person who looks at her can be reassuring, and if she doesn't look at it, she won't say a word. I appreciate this kind of character, dare to love and hate, and live for myself.
During the meal, Zhang Min gave us a brief introduction to the customs of Mingyue Village.
"In our village, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is better to maintain the original style. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only one provincial road leads to the outside, and the other side is close to the sea, which is quite closed."
"But it's because of the closure that the original ecology of the environment is retained, and the sunrise and the day are resting, which is still quite attractive to people from big cities like you."
"There are really no places of interest, and the oldest house here is only a few decades old. The main reason is that the price of seafood is high now, and the villagers are not as poor as before. You city people don't understand that as long as we people in the village have a little money, they will work hard to build houses, so ah, there are really no ancient buildings here."
"But then again, the scenery of Mingyue Village is really speechless, you look at the mountains and waters, where is not picturesque. You guys, if you have time, you can run around, the name of the village here is not a shrew, it's still very kind."
We listened to Zhang Min's introduction, and sighed in our hearts, although according to her, this village has no other characteristics except for the water and soil. But for us, it's enough, it's a great experience to see all those man-made landscapes and get close to nature here.
Speaking of this, Li Rusong asked, "What's that, sister-in-law, is there anything special about going to the beach here?" ”
Zhang Min replied with a hearty smile, "Hey, look at what you said." If you can pay attention to anything, just pay attention to the rules of the tide. By the way, it's late today, if you're interested, you can go to the sea tomorrow while the tide is falling. ”
Jiang Lina asked suspiciously, "Sister-in-law, what is catching the sea?" ”
"Catching the sea is when the tide is low, go to the beach and pick up some seafood left by the tide. Don't think that you can't pick up anything good, sometimes it's a lot of luck to pick up a big crab, a big conch or something. But again, pay attention to the tide trend. ”
When she said this, we all said that we would try our luck at the beach tomorrow while retreating.
Zhang Min saw that we began to arrange tomorrow's itinerary, and kindly reminded, "By the way, you can go to other places in Mingyue Village casually, but it is best not to go to the mountain temple in the back mountain." ”
I asked her curiously, "Sister-in-law, are there any taboos?" ”
Zhang Min replied with a smile, "Where is there any taboo that can't help but be taboo, what kind of marine biology laboratory was built in the mountain temple a few days ago, and then it was inexplicably abandoned, and then it began to be said that there was any radiation that would cause cancer to the human body." It's better to believe that there is, not to believe that there is nothing, if you can, you won't go, and besides, there is nothing to see. ”
Maybe it was a police habit, and I suddenly became interested, and then asked her, "Oh?" How did that lab go unearthed? ”
"Hey, what else, it's dead, I've heard that it's ugly to die, so the villagers began to tell where there is radiation."
"What's the hard way to see it?"
"Sister-in-law doesn't know, I've heard about it. Okay, don't mention this, it's all because my sister-in-law is not good, why don't you mention this. Come on, come on, eat vegetables, eat vegetables".
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, I didn't pay attention to it, we came here for a vacation, not to find excitement. Then a few of us continued to eat and drink, and chatted all over the world.
We ate this meal for almost 2 hours, and after the meal, Jiang Lina accompanied Zhang Min to clean up the mess. Li Rusong and I moved out two chairs and sat on the concrete floor at the entrance of the hostel, smoking cigarettes and chatting casually without saying a word.
After chatting for a long time, Li Rusong suddenly pointed to the opposite side of the hostel and said, "Lao Cheng, look!" Why did those three women come here with their luggage? ”
I said that he was pointing in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, when we arrived at Mingyue Village, the three girls who came to ask for help were dragging trolley boxes towards us.
"Hey! Boss, we're here to take you in! The short-haired girl who gave Li Rusong mineral water shouted at Li Rusong as she walked.
Li Rusong smiled and said to them, "What's the matter? Where to live is not used to it? ”
The three of them walked up to us one after another, and began to complain about the "Ming Ming Hotel" all kinds of things, what rooms are too dirty, too expensive to eat, too bad bosses, etc., and said a lot.
I smiled and asked Li Rusong, the retired black boss, to accompany them, and I went to ask Zhang Min to come out to receive them.
In the kitchen, I told Zhang Min that the three girls outside had checked out of the Ming Ming Hotel and wanted to live here.
Zhang Min said to me with an unsurprising expression, "Sister-in-law is right, you see, it's not tomorrow yet."
Then Zhang Min checked them in, arranged them to the second floor, and divided them into three rooms for them to live in. The three of them checked their respective rooms and felt very satisfied, and stayed gratefully.
After putting away the luggage, the three of them went downstairs one after another and sat in the dining room with a few of us and chatted.
These three girls are students at a film and television school in Sioux City, and they were tricked to Mingyue Village to play by the Internet and were fooled into going to the Ming Ming Hotel.
The girl with short hair and big eyes, wearing a sweatshirt is called Lin Lin, the little sister with long yellow hair and 7 ear piercings is called Xu Junyun, and the other is wearing suspenders and is not very talkative.
The three of them are good sisters in the dormitory at school, in addition to the reason why they were fooled into traveling this time, there is also a reason that Zhang Yufei fell out of love, and Lin Lin and Xu Junyun accompanied her to walk around and relax.
After chatting casually for a while, seeing that the time was not early, I took Jiang Lina to get up and return to the room first. Li Rusong was still unsatisfied, and continued to stay in the restaurant with the third daughter.
At night, the village is very quiet, Jiang Lina and I looked out the window, and there were not many lights to see.
I looked at this tranquility and said to Jiang Lina with feeling, "Actually, this kind of day is really not bad. ”
Jiang Lina replied faintly, "Yes, husband." Seldom since we knew each other had such tranquility. You've been busy with cases every day, and you have to work overtime on your days off. ”
I reached out and gently touched her cheek and said, "yes, I'm sorry for bothering you."
Jiang Lina held my hand in the palm of her hand, put it on her chest, and said gently, "Husband, don't be sorry, I actually enjoy worrying about you, you just stay here with me, okay?" ”
My hand felt her heartbeat, and I replied with a smile, "I brought you here to be with you." ”
After speaking, I pulled her into my arms and hugged her tightly, remembering the bits and pieces of acquaintance, encounter, and acquaintance with Jiang Lina, and the various twists and turns and bizarre cases encountered in the Thirteenth Branch. sighed, "Just steal half a day's leisure......"
