1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 1139 Feeling the sea breeze

Engineer Jiao put the basin down, turned around and hugged his wife: "But without you, I can't work outside with peace of mind. You are also the pillar of our family. I know you feel sorry for me, but I feel sorry for you too."

The couple has been married for three years but doesn't dare to have a child: "Once we get this bonus, we can finally catch our breath and then we'll start trying to conceive and have a child."

Wang Shuhui nodded emphatically in his arms: "Okay."

The first snow was awakened by a fresh and delicious aroma.

Because the villagers go out to sea in the morning, breakfast is cooked very early.

When Chuxue came out, Aunt Jiao smiled and waved to her, saying, "There's warm water by the stove. You can have breakfast after you wash up."

Chu Xue didn't hesitate, after all, she had paid for the meal herself: "What did Auntie make? It smells so good."

Aunt Jiao smiled and said, "Your uncle is going out to sea soon, so he has to eat well in the morning. After all, we don't know when they will be able to have lunch."

I made sweet potato porridge and also specially made seaweed buns. Try them later and see if you like them. If you don't like them, I also have cornbread. We can spread homemade shrimp paste on it; it tastes pretty good too.”

Chu Xue was surprised that Aunt Jiao had made two dishes for her: "Auntie, you've really gone to a lot of trouble. I'll definitely try the unique seaside delicacies later."

Aunt Jiao was pleased by Chu Xue's words and became even more enthusiastic.

Uncle Jiao was clearly worried that Chu Xue would feel uncomfortable, so he didn't sit down to eat with her. Instead, he took his breakfast to the neighbor's house and chatted with the man there while eating.

Because Jiao's daughter-in-law had to look after the child, Aunt Jiao brought breakfast into the house.

So only Chu Xue and Aunt Jiao were at the dinner table.

Before introducing it, Aunt Jiao said, "The seaweed buns are filled with kelp, laver, sea lettuce, and a little bit of minced meat. Why don't you try them and see how they taste?" After thanking her, Chu Xue took the bun, took a bite, and gave Aunt Jiao a thumbs up.

These seaweed buns have a mild but very fresh flavor, a smooth yet chewy texture, and taste great.

She ate one and didn't take any more. She could see clearly that there weren't many seaweed buns in total, and they were probably made with the white flour she had exchanged with him yesterday. She was too embarrassed to take any more and eat them: "Auntie, I've tried the seaweed buns. I'll try the cornbread with shrimp paste. That way, my trip to the seaside won't have been in vain."

Aunt Jiao said happily, "Yes, try them all."

Afterwards, I drank a small bowl of sweet potato porridge, and this breakfast was indeed delicious.

Because she had to wait for the fishing boats that had gone out to sea in the morning to return, after eating, she said goodbye to Aunt Jiao and went to the beach by herself.

This time, she didn't think about collecting anything, since there were already quite a few villagers on the mudflats, and she didn't want to cause trouble for herself.

Since I said I'd wait for the fishing boats to return and take the fresh seafood with me, I won't break my promise. After all, I want to take advantage of the waiting time to enjoy the sea, since I don't know when I'll be able to come back again.

After walking a while, she saw the group of reefs ahead and thought she should go up there and appreciate the sea of ​​this era.

The rocks underfoot were uneven and full of potholes, with seawater accumulating in some places, reflecting the swaying shadows of the clouds in the sky. In the distance, fishing boats looked like white chess pieces scattered on a blue cloth, with the waves gently pushing their hulls. The shouts of the villagers drifted over with the wind, sometimes near and sometimes far.

She found a place to sit down and felt the sea breeze.

Thinking of something, she ripped the hair tie off, letting the wind blow freely through her hair, and opened her arms to fully enjoy the sea.

Just as she closed her eyes to feel the sea breeze, she heard a 'crack' sound.
