Chen Jixing let out a long breath and turned to laugh.

Speaking of which, we also have to thank Xiaomei for this great hero. If it weren't for the lifesaver she gave us, we might not have been able to save the lifeboat, and we wouldn't have been able to go back to our hometown today! ”

It turned out that Chen Jixing was still going to country M this time, and the cargo ship drifted at sea for two months, and finally arrived at the destination port.

Zhu Siya runs an old tavern near the port, and the usual customers are mainly seafarers or residents of the port.

She is in her early Chinese New Year's Eve and is a new generation of Chinese born in Country M.

Decades ago, in order to escape the war, her parents took all their belongings to the sea to avoid chaos, and finally settled in the port of country M.

She is the youngest daughter in the family, and her brothers and sisters all work in the local area after graduating from school, and the partners they marry are all foreigners. She is the eldest in the family, and she is loved by her parents and has always stayed by her parents' side.

Her parents are both locals of Yucheng, and the people who come and go are all old overseas Chinese here. People often get together to sing folk songs, play music, and miss their hometown.

Zhu Siya was influenced by her parents when she was a child, has a strong affection for the motherland, and is also the closest to her parents among her brothers and sisters, and is the best in Chinese.

Her parents have always wanted to return to China for the elderly, but unfortunately they have not been able to do so because of various visa problems, until they fell ill and passed away one after another.

After the death of the old father, the old mother was depressed, and soon died with her.

Before dying, the old mother told her little daughter to bring their ashes back to their hometown in Yucheng for burial, fulfilling their long-cherished wish of returning to their roots.

Zhu Siya promised her mother that she inherited her parents' old tavern, and has been looking for an opportunity to bring the ashes of the two old people back to China for burial.

A few years ago, Chen Jixing and his colleagues occasionally went into the old tavern to drink and talk in Chinese, which attracted Zhu Siya's attention and took the initiative to chat with them.

Later, because she was a fellow countryman, she only exchanged communication methods with Chen Jixing and invited him to their family gathering.

Although the two have an age difference of three or four years, Chen Jixing still can't help but be attracted by this beautiful and charming young lady and begins to pursue her crazily.

The two have been in love for more than ten days and have a very good impression of each other.

Even if Chen Jixing left later, the two still missed this feeling, and from time to time they would contact each other by phone or postcard, silently missing each other.

Later, Chen Jixing talked to her intermittently for a few more short loves, without starting again or ending, each time it was the joy of reuniting after a long absence and reliving the love.

Last year, Chen Jixing went to country M again with the company's big ship, although the harbor where he docked was still hundreds of kilometers away from Zhu Siya's place, he couldn't hold back his heart and hurried to the old tavern to find her.

That time, Zhu Siya left him at home for the night.

The next morning, Chen Jixing proposed to her, hoping that she could marry him and return to China with him.

Zhu Siya agreed, and began to actively look for channels to apply for various visas and reviews.

There are many good things, and it was not until this summer that it was finally done.

During this period, her brothers and sisters have always disapproved of her relationship, and blindly persuaded her to break up with Chen Jixing, saying that they were just a dewy marriage and would definitely not be able to go long.

They grew up by the harbor and understood that most people who begged for a living at sea were very casual about their feelings, and kept talking about love, and when they got on the ship and went down to the sea, there was no news, and the return date was always irregular.

The brothers and sisters resolutely opposed it, and did not allow her to joke about her lifelong happiness, hoping that she would go back after sending her parents' ashes back to China for burial, and not stop in Yucheng.

But Zhu Siya really liked Chen Jixing, thought about it for a long time, and finally made a decision, and even sent him a telegram in the mood of a moth to a fire, saying that she could return to China with him and marry him.

Chen Jixing was worried that things would change, and he was also afraid that his parents would worry, so he didn't dare to tell the truth, only saying that he might return early this time, and he might come back with a big surprise.

It wasn't until the two of them met again that Chen Jixing realized that she had finally made up her mind this time, because she had already packed her bags and even sold her old tavern and tithes.

Zhu Siya's brothers and sisters saw that she had made up their minds, and they had no choice but to bless them, asked for Chen Jixing's home address and communication method, and each wrapped a big red envelope for them as a wedding gift according to the customs of their hometown in Yucheng.

Zhu Siya said goodbye to her brothers and sisters reluctantly, and then got on the boat with her lover and returned to China with the ship.

The cargo ship encountered a hurricane halfway, and when looking for a place to moor, it accidentally overturned, and the water ingress into the cabin was in danger.

Chen Jixing and Zhu Siya, plus several colleagues were swept into the sea by the wind and waves.

Zhu Siya was the first to fall into the water, and Chen Jixing jumped off in order to save her. Several colleagues unfortunately fell into the water during the rescue process.

Fortunately, everyone has life jackets, plus the lifejacket given by Chen Xingling opens very quickly, and it is a very conspicuous red color, the buoyancy balance is excellent, and there are various buckles that can hold the life jacket, so everyone was lucky not to be washed away by the waves, and held on until the arrival of the lifeboat.

"He didn't even want his own life for me." Zhu Siya stroked her lover's cheek and whispered movingly: "At that moment, I knew I had chosen the right person." In this life, it will be his. ”

After that, she kissed Chen Jixing emotionally.

Chen Jixing also responded with a gentle kiss from her.

Gu Qi was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly hugged Xiaohuzi and turned sideways.

Chen Bingxing held back a smile, covered his eyes and buried his head.

But Chen Xingling was intoxicated when he heard this, his eyes were slightly red with emotion, and he even applauded lightly.

"Congratulations to the fourth brother and sister-in-law...... I wish you lovers to be married. ”

In the original book, the fourth brother and the future fourth sister-in-law were swept away by the waves, and he searched hard for many days but could not find a trace of his lover, and finally lost his beloved woman, who was depressed and lonely.

It seems that the survival backpack she gave played the most crucial role, allowing this pair of lovers to change their fate and love each other for the rest of their lives.

Chen Jixing hugged his lover and smiled dotingly: "You, you are the great benefactor of the two of us." Your fourth sister-in-law said that you will also be her sister in the future. No, I just got home last night, and she asked me to accompany her into the city to see you early in the morning, and insisted on thanking you in person. ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Chen Xingling laughed: "Fourth sister-in-law, we will be a family in the future!" ”

Gu Qi reminded gently: "Little Huzi, shout 'Fourth Aunt' quickly." ”

Xiaohuzi shouted crisply: "Hello fourth aunt!" ”

Zhu Siya smiled and narrowed her eyes, and her hand with red nail polish pinched Xiaohuzi's fleshy cheeks.

"It's so cute! It's a fat boy - no, a strong boy! ”

Xiaohuzi pouted and defended: "People are manly!" ”

The crowd laughed.

Ten minutes later, everyone gathered around the dining table for breakfast and chatted about the next arrangements.

Chen Jixing explained: "Next, I will go to her parents' hometown with Siya to find a suitable cemetery and bury the old man properly. Mom and Dad said that there will be an auspicious day of the zodiac at the end of the month, so let's get married at the end of the month. ”

"Fourth brother, then take a leave of absence for the time being." Gu Qi proposed: "You have been so busy all year round that you can't touch the ground, so it's better to take the opportunity to rest for a while, so you can accompany your new sister-in-law." ”

"That's right!" Chen Bingxing echoed: "My brother-in-law is right! You, don't run around, stay and get married first, and stay at home. ”

Zhu Siya hurriedly shook her head: "No! I told him not to go to sea! ”

Everyone was startled and couldn't help but look at Chen Jixing.

Chen Jixing smiled embarrassedly and whispered: "She was scared before...... Won't let me keep running the boat. I'm going to take a leave of absence to rest first. As for whether or not to go to sea - more on that later! More on that later! ”

Everyone looked at each other and tacitly changed the topic.

Zhu Siya smiled and said her plan: "I want to give him a little doll first, and when the child is older, I will open a small bar to make money." ”

"Oh?!"

“…… Don't be in a hurry, we'll discuss it later. ”

"Yes! Get married first and have a baby before arranging! ”
