Diao Baodou first drove for three hours to a port in the east of Shanghai, then parked the car in the parking lot and boarded a closed speedboat carrying about 100 people with warmth and two large bags of food bought in the supermarket, but in fact there were only 30 people in it. Then, after two and a half hours of turbulent sea, after the sky was completely dark, the ship finally reached its destination.

Warm didn't bother to listen to the name of the current port on the radio, she barely stood up in the rocking of the speedboat, grabbed everything she could hold onto, and kept her body balanced, and walked out with trembling legs. Before this, Wen Wen never thought that she would be seasick, she had been on dozens of boats since she was a child, but she had never been so uncomfortable and unbearable as this time, what kind of boat is this? It's just terrible.

Walking out of the speedboat, Wen Wen squatted on the ground again and vomited wildly, but after a few "vomits", he only spit out a few mouthfuls of sour water, and nothing else. But think about it, she can't vomit anything else, when she was on the boat, she vomited no less than five or six times, and she vomited everything she could and couldn't, and if she vomited again, I was afraid that only the internal organs in her stomach would be gone.

Diao Baodou handed over a tissue without a sound, pulled it warmly and fiercely, looked up at him, and said hatefully: "If I knew this was the case, I should have stayed at home obediently, even if I was arrested, it would be better than being punished here." ”

Diao Baodou raised his eyebrows helplessly and said, "I didn't expect you to get seasick." ”

"And what do you think of?" The warmth is still incomprehensible.

Diao Baodou didn't say anything, the silence lasted for about three minutes, and Diao Baodou said in a low voice: "We are a lot, should we leave here first?" ”

Wen Wen sighed in her heart, and understood that she was a little unreasonable just now. eased his face, stood up and looked at the small island with only a few lights in front of him, looked at Diao Baodou in confusion, and asked, "Where is this?" Why should you choose to come here? ”

"Can you still go? No, I can carry you. Diao Baodou did not answer the warm question directly, but asked a more direct and practical question.

"No, you don't." Wen Wen shook his head, pulled the zipper of his down jacket up, and said to him with a shrunken neck, "Let's go, find a warmer place, it's too cold here, and it stinks." Wen Wen couldn't stand the fishy smell here, and as soon as she smelled this stomach, she couldn't help but turn over the river and the sea again, so even the sound of the waves crashing on the reef made her feel a little creepy.

The two walked up a narrow path for about half an hour, passing several houses with three or four floors, and the smell of soup wafting from the house made Wen Wen swallow several times. She looked at Diao Baodou's back in front of her, and really hoped that he would stop in front of one of the buildings, and then push open the door, and invite her into the humble hut with warm lights, and drink a bowl of hot soup, thinking that it was the best and happiest thing in life. However, the fact is that in the end, Diao Baodou did stop in front of a small three-story building, but it was a small dark building, and it was obvious that there was no trace of anyone inside, so there was no smell of delicious hot soup.

Diao Baodou put the two big bags of food in his hand on the ground, then walked under the window on one side, quickly jumped to the one-and-a-half-meter-high windowsill, reached out and felt something from it, and then jumped down without looking, and then opened the door on the first floor with the thing in his hand.

When I first entered the building, Wen Wen didn't feel any difference between here and outside, except for the sea breeze, the temperature was the same as outside, the same cold to the bone.

Diao Baodou turned on the air conditioner on the first floor, adjusted the temperature of the heating system to the highest, then pointed to the sofa and said to Wen Wen: "It will be warm in a while, I'll go out and get some food first, you can sit down and rest." ”

After Diao Baodou went out, Wen Wen shrank into the sofa that had just lifted the cover, lowered his head and smelled the clothes on his body, and there was still a faint smell of vomiting on the boat before, so he couldn't help but hold his chest and retched a few times one after another. When she finally relieved herself, she felt that her body was much warmer, and she turned her head to look at the huge air conditioner resting in the corner, well, the effect was not bad.

As soon as the body warmed up, the whole person became a lot more comfortable, Wen Wen got up from the sofa, and walked around the hall that looked like the living room on the first floor. The first thing that caught her attention was a cashier-like cabinet with a computer, two pens, and two small books that looked like receipts. Behind the cabinet is a long shelf, which is full of all kinds of drinks and other things, and even has a price mark, which may have been put for a long time, and it looks like it is very old.

There are two square frames on the wall next to the shelves, looking at the family of four on it, the male owner is about forty years old, burly, with a small head, and his facial features are eight points similar to Diao Baodou, and Diao Baodou is standing behind him, looking at a very green face, and his shoulders are also quite thin, it is estimated that he is eighteen or nine years old, and the father and son are staring at the opposite camera lens with the same smile; Next to the male owner snuggled up to a small jasper-like woman, the same age as him, despite this, he can still see his extraordinary appearance, and the way she smiles at the camera gives people an unusually warm feeling, behind the woman stands a girl, sixteen or seventeen years old, slightly chubby, slightly dark-skinned, with very short hair, thin eyes, but very thick eyebrows, slightly flat nose, slightly thicker lips, and a little curled, in short, such facial features together can not be called good-looking.

warmly thought that such a magnified photo hanging in such a conspicuous place should be regarded as a family photo, and it was obvious that the relationship between Diao Baodou and the middle-aged couple could be seen, but the appearance of this girl always felt incompatible with the other three, could it be said that she was not Diao Baodou's sister?

Wen Wen was staring at the photo in a daze, and the door was pushed open from the outside with a "creak", and then a gust of sea breeze also drilled in through the crack. Wen Wen turned to look, only to see Diao Baodou walking in with two things like pots and rice bowls in his hands, because the two hands had been occupied, he closed the door tightly with a "bang" of his feet.

"Let's make do with some food today, and I'll cook tomorrow." Back here, Diao Baodou's way of speaking has improved compared to before. He put everything in his hand on the dining table, and then strode into a nearby room, from which he skillfully brought the chopsticks and spoons.

Diao Baodou didn't seem to see Wen Wen standing in front of the frame, just busy at the table filling noodles in the bowl, serving soup, setting chopsticks, and then turning his head to greet Wen Wen and sit down.

"This little girl...... Is it your sister? Wen Wen pointed to the frame of the mirror and asked Diao Baodou.

"Yes," Diao Baodou simply replied without looking at it, and seeing that he didn't mean to continue, Wen Wen shrugged his shoulders and stopped asking.

Wen Wen even ate three bowls of soup and noodles in a row, only to feel that the vomited stomach would finally come to life, and Diao Baodou put down his chopsticks after only eating a bowl of noodles, he turned his head to look at the frame next to the shelf, and there was an indescribable look in his eyes flickering.

"Don't you think my sister and the three of us are very different from a family?"

"Hmm," was obvious, Wen Wen thought to herself.

"But the truth is, she was really born to my parents. My dad has always been very positive about this, and he still loves her very much, and in his eyes, his daughter is not much uglier than others. You know why? ”

"Why?"

"My sister looks a lot like one of my dad's aunts, no, it's exactly the same. My dad said that my grandfather and his six brothers and sisters were all beautiful and handsome, but his youngest aunt was fat and ugly, and her head didn't seem to be very good. But this is just her in the eyes of others, but my dad has always thought that his little aunt is very smart. In this way, she will naturally not be loved by her parents in the big family with many brothers and sisters in the past, let alone loved, and she will not even get the most basic fairness and justice. But even so, his little aunt didn't give up on herself and feel sorry for herself, my dad said that she knew very well what kind of person she was, and she also knew how to use the resources she could use, that is, reading. She told her great-grandfather that as long as she was willing to let her study, she didn't have to worry about anything. When she said these words, her grandfather didn't even look at her, but just waved his hand. But since then, it has also covered all the expenses of her study. But later, he died in a car accident for no reason. She was only thirty-two years old when she died, and she had never been married or in a relationship, and before that, there was no one with whom she got along or could be called a friend, except for my father. So, except for my dad, no one will be sad for her. ”

Speaking of this, Diao Baodou paused, looked at the warmth of the chopsticks that had stopped, and asked, "Do you want to drink some tea?" ”

Wen Wen nodded, so the two moved to a set of wooden tea sets next to them, Diao Baodou scalded the teapot and cup with boiling water one by one, and then brought a pot of purified pure water, and said while boiling, "I will go back here almost every month, stay for a few days and then go back." In the past, my family opened a homestay, and people who came to this island for tourism could live in the rooms on the second and third floors, and the first floor was in charge of the meals, most of which were seafood and other meals, which were very fresh, and people from outside also loved to eat. But I grew up here, so I didn't like seafood that much. ”
