Yan Lili was startled and did not dare to go any further.

Rong Jin packed up her things and decided to go to a remote and quiet place to spend the rest of her life.

Anshi is close to the sea, and there is a village nearby called Siping Village.

Rong Jin decided to go to Siping Village alone.

This is a small village near the sea, with not many residents and a very comfortable environment.

Rong Jin rented a house in Siping Village and planned to spend the remaining two months here.

Every day, Rong Jin would walk to the beach and watch the sun slowly rise from the sea.

A layer of white mist filled the sea, separating him from Ludao.

However, this place is too far away from Ludao after all. Rong Jin cannot see Xiu Xiu and can only stand on the other side of the sea and imagine what Xiu Xiu is doing now——

Xiuxiu should have gotten up by now, prepared a meal for her son, asked Xiaobao to finish the meal and go to school, while Xiuxiu packed up and went to the factory.

When she gets to the factory, she should hold a meeting with the factory employees.

Then everyone got busy on their own.

And the base...

Rong Jin will also think of life in the base.

The comrades should be training on the beach now. The boy's arms are like thick lotus roots, with muscles one by one, and a simple and honest smile on his dark face.

When they went into the sea, they went into the sea one after another like wrapped dumplings.

They dived in the sea water, their dark arms beating waves on the sea surface.

…

Rong Jin will also think of Xiaobao.

What is Xiaobao doing at school now?

Xiaobao should have followed the classmates in the class to sing the song that was to be sung before class. The teacher asked everyone to quiet down, then the teacher opened the textbook and started teaching.

Xiaobao then opened his big black eyes and looked at the teacher seriously.

When the teacher asks questions, Xiaobao will raise his arms to actively answer the questions.

Occasionally, there would be a few birds chirping outside the window, but the students were so focused on listening to the class that they didn't notice the existence of these birds at all.

…

Rong Jin found that his mind could not help but think of life on the other side of the sea.

Even though he is already on this side of the sea, what he thinks of every day is still the people on the other side of the sea.

After all, he spent the first half of his life with those people.

Rong Jin remembered a poem, "Nostalgia" by Yu Guangzhong——

When I was a child,

Nostalgia is a small stamp,

I'm over here,

Mother is over there.

When I grow up,

Nostalgia is a narrow ticket,

I'm over here,

The bride is over there.

Later,

Nostalgia is a low grave,

I'm outside,

Mother is inside.

And now,

Nostalgia is a shallow strait,

I'm over here,

The mainland is over there.

For Rong Jin, homesickness is not a strait, but the boundless sea in front of her.

He is on this side, and the person he loves is on the other side.

During the day, she would sit quietly by the beach, and at night, Rong Jin would go back to her room alone.

The room was very quiet, and you could still hear the sound of waves crashing on the sea.

Siping Village is a fishing village, and you can often see fishermen fishing on the sea in their boats.

When she had nothing to do, Rong Jin stood on the beach and watched these fishermen fishing.

As time passed, the fishermen here became familiar with Rong Jin.

The fishermen saw that Rong Jin was tall, handsome and had an extraordinary aura, so they smiled and asked him, "You are not from here, are you?"

Rong Jin smiled and nodded.

There is a unique simplicity about these fishermen.

When they smile, a row of white teeth will appear on their dark faces.

The fishermen on the beach are all tanned and their skin is red.

There is a large, shabby-looking boat that belongs to a family of five named Sun Yadong. Whenever the weather is good and the sea is calm, the family of five will go to the sea to fish.

Sun Yadong is in his fifties this year. He has a daughter named Sun Aihong, who is in her early thirties.

Sun Aihong's first love drowned in the sea, so Sun Aihong never got married.

Sun Aihong is beautiful, tall and has two big black and thick braids.

When she saw Rong Jin, Sun Aihong smiled shyly.

Sun Yadong is cheerful and often chats with Rong Jin.

After going back and forth, Sun Yadong learned that Rong Jin was discharged from the Red Eagle Base on Ludao and lived alone on the beach for a period of time.

Sun Yadong asked Rong Jin: "Are you married? Where is your wife?"

A hint of sadness flashed across Rong Jin's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He smiled and said, "Divorced."

"Divorced?" Sun Yadong's eyes lit up, he looked back at his daughter Sun Aihong, and smiled meaningfully, his big white teeth shining dazzlingly in the sun.

Later, Sun Aihong used various excuses to come to Rong Jin's residence to find Rong Jin.

"Brother Gu, this is the seafood my mother made today. Try it and see if you like it." Sun Aihong placed a basin full of big crabs in Rong Jin's room.

Although Rong Jin repeatedly refused, Sun Aihong still insisted on sending seafood to Rong Jin.

She saw that although Rong Jin's room was simple, but the quilts, clothes, shoes...everything was neatly arranged in separate areas, she thought in admiration that she was worthy of being from the army, and the furnishings in her home were all so orderly.

"Brother Gu, do you have any clothes that need to be washed? Can I help you wash them?"

Sun Aihong brought over seafood, but she had no intention of leaving. She kept searching the room with her eyes, seemingly looking for clothes that could be washed.

Rong Jin immediately stopped Sun Aihong and declined: "There are no clothes that need to be washed at the moment. All the clothes have been washed."

Sun Aihong still refused to leave and asked again: "Brother Gu, you live here alone and there is no one to take care of you. Why don't you just let me stay and take care of you."

Rong Jin rubbed her forehead with a headache, but she didn't expect Sun Aihong to be so enthusiastic.

In the end, Rong Jin found an excuse to send Sun Aihong away.

But after going back and forth, he and Sun Aihong's family did become familiar with each other.

Sun Yadong often asked his daughter Sun Aihong to give things to Rong Jin——

Sometimes it’s steamed crab, sometimes it’s stewed clam porridge.

Although Rong Jin repeatedly refused, Sun Aihong was not discouraged at all and still insisted on sending things to Rong Jin every now and then.

Taking advantage of the time to deliver things, Sun Aihong stopped at Rong Jin's house and began to inquire about Xiu Xiu's news.

"Brother Gu, you are so handsome, you must be attracted to girls, right? Why is my sister-in-law so willing to divorce you?"

Rong Jin didn't want to talk about these things, so he said, "This is my private matter."

Sun Aihong grabbed her hand in embarrassment and asked, "Brother Gu, have you considered finding someone else to take care of you?"

Rong Jin knew what Sun Aihong meant and immediately refused clearly: "I can take care of myself. I don't want another person. I live well alone."
