Full Sugar No Ice

Chapter 68 Sea Salt Cheese (XIV)
Jiang's homestay is called Shuojun Courtyard.

Shuojun took a character from each of the names of the third generation of the Jiang family, and the idea came from Xiaofang, Jianghuai's daughter-in-law.

Xiaofang is an open-minded and cheerful rural woman. Her husband Jianghuai is introverted and not good at speaking. The homestay business at home depends on her outside. Every day, she takes Junjun to the village at the foot of the mountain to solicit guests.

The decoration of the small courtyard is simple, and the house is built of stone like the old-fashioned houses seen on the streets of Qingdao. There are many flowers and plants in the courtyard, and there is also a unique flowing water landscape.Especially worth mentioning is the large terrace on the second floor of the B&B. Standing on the railing, you can overlook the panoramic view of the fishing village with green trees and red tiles.

There are wooden seats and sun umbrellas on the terrace. At the moment, several middle-aged men and women in casual clothes are sitting and eating there.

When they saw Xiaofang bring someone up, they took the initiative to say hello, "Miss Boss, we're here for business again."

Xiaofang pointed to Tang Xiaobing behind her, and said proudly: "This is a relative of my family, come here to play for a few days."

Tang Xiaobing waved his hand proactively, "Hi everyone."

They also smiled back, "Hello, little beauty."

Xiaofang took Tang Xiaobing to the penultimate room, opened the door, and the two went in.

"Look, do you like it?"

Tang Xiaobing looked at the clean and bright room, "It's pretty good."

Xiaofang went to the window and opened the curtains with a swipe, "A standard room is specially reserved for you, where you can see the sea, and the quilt covers are brand new, and the mattress has been dried, so you can rest assured."

Tang Xiaobing said thank you sincerely.

Xiaofang flipped the folds of the quilt, looked at Tang Xiaobing with a smile, "You and Xiao Teng have talked for a long time, right?"

Tang Xiaobing thought for a while and said, "We've known each other for a long time, and we haven't talked for long."

"Are you classmates?"

Tang Xiaobing nodded, "High school."

"We are also classmates. From elementary school to high school, we are in the same class." Xiaofang stopped her hands and looked out the window, as if recalling the past between her and Jiang Huai, "It's better when I was in school, that one Time is not a burden, every day is silly, and I don’t know what troubles are.”

"Now you are doing well too, I think brother Jianghuai's eyes are always following you." Tang Xiaobing said with a smile.

Xiaofang chuckled happily, "That's because he's hungry and looking for something to eat."

Tang Xiaobing rolled her eyes and laughed along with her.

"Sister-in-law, are there many guests in the hotel?" Tang Xiaobing asked.

"It's average. It's divided into low and peak seasons. The location is a bit out of the way, and you have to go up the mountain, so guests who don't have a car don't want to come."

"Oh, what about the income?"

Xiaofang picked up the pillow and patted it, then put it down again, "It's a little less than going out to work, but you can still take care of your life and have a little surplus. The most important thing is to take care of the elderly and children, so that they don't have to suffer from parting." Suffering, that’s enough, isn’t it? People live in the world, and what they want is not just to feel at ease, to be happy, to be comfortable. People should live for themselves, and don’t be burdened by other people’s thoughts and emotions. Because no matter how hard you try, it is impossible to satisfy everyone. In this case, why not live a simple life, do what you like, and do things that make you happy. My husband and I have no big goals, just want to run It’s enough to take good care of my small courtyard and protect the family. People can’t be too greedy, wanting both, how can there be such a perfect thing in the world, don’t you think so?”

Tang Xiaobing looked at Xiaofang thoughtfully.

Her seemingly ordinary words revealed the true meaning of life.

People have to live for themselves.

Live simply, live freely, and live happily.

All kinds of gift boxes and bags were piled up on the table to form a hill. Teng Yi put the fruit baskets sent by hotel guests on top of the boxes and was about to go out again.

"Anything else? No more, no more, I can't fit in my house anymore, you take the rest back." Jiang Huai stopped Teng Yi.

Teng Yi explained: "There is still medicine, for the aunt."

Jiang Huai froze for a moment, then withdrew his arm, Teng Yi patted him on the shoulder, and strode out.

Teng Yi handed the medicine to Jiang Wei's mother, "Auntie, this is the medicine that Brother Jiang brought you. He told you to take it on time and don't be afraid of spending money."

"Hey." Jiang Wei's mother took the bag tremblingly, stroking the medicine box inside with her fingers over and over again.

In the eyes of Jiang Wei's mother, this is not medicine, but the hot filial piety of her son who is thousands of miles away.

Teng Yi chatted with the old man for a while, and then showed her the photos of Jiang Wei's family stored in the mobile phone. The old man wiped his tears and held the phone tightly. Teng Yi told Jiang Huai to pass the photos to him later.

The Jiang family carefully prepared lunch for Teng Yi and the others.

Braised sea bass, seaweed pancakes, prawns, scallops, fried pumpkin with jellyfish claws, and local specialty Laoshan mushroom stewed chicken. There are fish, meat and seafood, which are extremely rich.

"Next time you come here before May, preferably around the Grain Rains. At that time, there is no fishing ban. You can catch all kinds of seafood when you go out to sea. The best species is goby, which is fat and big. Our local people call it the first fresh food in spring. To eat tiger shrimp, you have to choose the right time. You have to go to the pier to guard and compete with the dealers. The shrimp tiger in our courtyard sells very well, and you can earn a lot of money per catty. .Next time you come, you must remember to come before May.” Xiaofang, who is good at talking, picked up a shrimp and said while peeling it.

Junjun took Xiaofang's hand and stared at the prawn eagerly.

Teng Yi picked up a piece of chicken and put it in Tang Xiaobing's bowl, "Thank you sister-in-law for reminding me."

Xiaofang stuffed the peeled shrimp into Junjun's mouth, "Family, why are you polite?"

Jiang Huai also echoed, "Yes, a family."

Xiaofang saw that Teng Yi couldn't help picking up vegetables for Tang Xiaobing, so she couldn't help testing her husband, "Jianghuai, I want to eat chicken too."

Jiang Huai didn't raise his head, "Eat."

Xiaofang rolled her eyes and kicked him, "I can't save you."

Jiang Huai looked up inexplicably, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiaofang glared at him, "You are such a boring gourd."

Jianghuai didn't understand anymore.

Instead, the girl Junjun shook her head in disgust, and scolded him like a little adult: "You are too stupid, you see that Uncle Teng Yi puts meat for Aunt Bingbing, and you only care about eating by yourself..."

Jiang Huai opened his mouth slightly and looked at Junjun in surprise.

Teng Yi coughed lightly, and Tang Xiaobing touched his cheek unnaturally.

Xiaofang couldn't hold back, she patted Junjun's butt, and scolded in a low voice: "What are you talking about, I didn't let your dad pinch it."

"I'll pick it up for you." Junjun stood up and took the chopsticks to pick up the chicken on the plate, but she was too small and unskilled, so she poked a few times with the chopsticks but didn't pick up anything.

Junjun pursed her mouth, a little bit like crying.

Jiang Huai quickly picked up a piece of chicken and put it into his wife's bowl, blushing and said: "You eat, you eat." He put another piece of chicken in Junjun's bowl, "Junjun eats too."

The mother and daughter looked at each other and laughed.

Jiang Wei grinned and laughed.

Junjun pointed at Teng Yi and Tang Xiaobing with crooked eyebrows, "Uncles and aunts are secretly smiling."

"No, no..." Tang Xiaobing argued.

"You just laughed, Aunt Bingbing, I've seen it all. I also saw you and Uncle Teng Yi holding hands, so shy." Junjun shaved her face and made a face at Tang Xiaobing.

Tang Xiaobing's face was as red as an apple, she covered her face and hid behind Teng Yi, hammering his shoulder, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault."

Teng Yi smiled and admitted, "Blame me, okay."

"Hahaha..." Jiang Huai's family laughed even louder...

At the same time, in City X, a black off-road vehicle parked at the gate of Tuanjie Community.

Xie Wanqing in the car patted the driver on the shoulder, "Xiao Wang, honk the horn."

Sun Qingfang, who was chatting with the security guard in the reception room, heard the car horn and poked her head out to look around.

At the same time, Sun Qingfang's cell phone rang, she picked up the phone, and after hearing a few words from the other party, she pointed at the security guard, "Old Liu, open the door, someone is coming."

　Wait a minute, sorry, keep chasing
