Mengyuan zhaitang island

Maybe I missed it to meet you better. All the encounters are not accidental, but agreements made in previous lives. Zhaitang Island, which passed you by 30 years ago, has finally been seen.

1988 In the spring, our teacher organized us to go to Langya Terrace, and then to Zhaitang Island. I still remember clearly that it was very cold that day, as if it were going to rain. The sea is surging, and my body is cold and wet. I was worried when I watched my classmates bravely jump into the boat one by one. The boat rocked like a fallen leaf. The huge gap between the ship and the dock, as well as the noisy and splashing waves, shattered my courage again and again. I've never been on a boat. I am really afraid that I will fall into the sea and drown. The wait won't be indefinite. Finally, the boat waved and took the teacher and classmates away. Loss and regret blocked my heart like a brick, and I fought back tears and went back to school with some cowards. I missed Saito Island! Unexpectedly, this long-cherished wish came true 30 years later. I waited too long!

The invitation of a friend is an unexpected surprise, we welcome it! Six people, two cars, one of which is an interview car of Qingdao TV Station. Go all the way west along Binhai Avenue, and you will arrive at Langya Wharf in less than an hour. I don't know when the boat was replaced by a cruise ship, and the sea was calm. There are used car tires hanging on the outside of the cruise ship, which are close to the dock wall and can be boarded by lifting their feet. Even so, there are still staff members holding passengers' hands to help them. There are almost no security risks, not as thrilling as it was thirty years ago.

1.2 km, which is a few minutes' flight. I felt a little sick. I went ashore and got off the boat. Zhaitang Island, named after "the first emperor boarded Langya, and the attendants stopped fighting here", is a mysterious place that I have been looking forward to for 30 years, and finally unveiled her veil.

When I boarded the island, a fragrant smell came to my nose, rich and fresh. I don't know whether it's the fragrance of flowers or who cooked seafood. On both sides of the street are unusually thick holly trees rarely seen elsewhere, winding overhead. This completely overturned my impression of shrubs. Time is the most worth looking forward to, it always throws miracles. People on the island also grow flowers and vegetables in front of and behind their houses. Roses are gorgeous, gardenia leaves are withered, and they are saving all their strength for bones, just like all mothers in this world are pregnant with their own fetuses. A small clearing is a vegetable garden and a cornfield. A bed of potato seedlings is flourishing with purple flowers blooming lightly. The breeze blows across the face, the waves kiss the beach, everything seems quiet and peaceful, and the whole island is like a baby in a cradle. Compared with the busy city, this is a pure virgin land.

There are also fitness equipment on the Little Square by the sea, and there is an endless sea in front. The tide slowly recedes, the sea is crystal clear, and the pebbles are round and full, which is clearly visible. Unlike some artificial islands, those stones are filled in the sea and grinning, which makes people feel terrible. Turning over those round stones is not afraid of pricking your fingers. Many sweet snails are attached to the stone. Pebbles are black, white, colorful, and faintly dotted with green. A closer look shows that the original glass ballast of beer bottles has faded from its original sharp edges and corners and is as smooth as jade after repeated polishing by the waves. A drop of water can wear away a stone. In the time tunnel, the role of a drop of water is immeasurable, not to mention the sea. Tides rise and fall, never stop, create miracles, and turn around Gankun.

There is a faucet by the sea, and several women gather at the well to wash clothes. This kind of scene is hard to see in other rural areas. They laughed and laughed, reminding me of the scene when my hometown mothers gathered by the river to wash clothes when I was a child. My friend is also curious. He came forward to ask, it turned out that this was a mouth-watering well, and the rising sea water could almost drown it. This makes me feel amazing: what did the digger think and how did he find the groundwater vein? Friends do propaganda work and habitually praise: who married a daughter-in-law like you is really a blessing for eight generations! An elder sister suddenly looked up and joked, muttering, we met late! The expression of great regret is comparable to the most exquisite artistic performance, which provoked another burst of laughter.

I traveled around the island with my classmate Ma Lao. The island is not big, and the north and south are long and narrow. It covers an area of 0.56 square kilometers. There is only one natural village with more than 300 families. There are many family hotels on the island, and in recent years, more and more people go on holiday. With the continuous improvement of material life and spiritual needs, ordinary beauty can no longer satisfy people's curiosity, so dangerous scenery such as Cliff Village has been developed and the island has become a highly respected leisure place. A reporter from Qingdao TV Station came to publicize the typical case of this fisherman's hotel. We saw a restaurant near the sea, which made a wind chime curtain with conch shells and hung it around the awning in front of the door. It was unique with local materials. The uneven roads on the island have also hardened, steep slopes have been repaired, and houses have been built. They are all north-south and unlike Qingdao, you can't see the direction of streets and houses. The road is narrow, except the main street, the hutong can only accommodate one tram. There is no need for wide roads on the island, and there are no cars coming and going, not one. All kinds of fishing gear can be seen everywhere, but I don't know their respective uses.

At noon, we came to the family hotel where our friends were. I took out my mobile phone and asked my boss. It turns out that the long green square cage is used to raise crabs. There is a small pottery jar tied to a rope to catch the octopus on the left; Black plastic balls "float" on the sea, with cages for raising scallops hanging below; Big black bottle-shaped fishing gear catches eels ... it's an eye-opener for the boss to get the treasure.

We tasted his delicious seafood, such as red crab, red-eyed spicy snail, flower fish and gourmet oyster, which are all rare seafood outside the island. Wild natural ingredients, without deep processing and various seasonings, are authentic and delicious. The hostess is not only amazing at cooking, but also clean at home. She can also do cross-stitch, and the walls are all her own works. She took out a pair and told us to knock out our chins. She also plans to embroider, which impressed us deeply. It is indeed a man's blessing to have a capable and good wife at home!

It is said that this island used to be very rich, and fishermen earned a high income, so they didn't need to farm. Women live a more leisurely life. So the women on the island are reluctant to leave the island. Compared with the disadvantage of inconvenient travel, they can't stand the heavy work in the crops. They are used to weaving nets and drying fish and shrimp. Those men who went fishing experienced the freedom of sailing and the joy of braving the wind and waves. Because they are worried about the island, they will eventually overcome the difficulties and obstacles of displacement and choose to go ashore. So the honest stone boy was contracted by the beautiful and cheerful Xiao daughter! This is what the elder sister who washed clothes said later.

The ship is at three o'clock in the afternoon, and we arrive at the dock on time. As soon as I got on the deck, I met my joking washing sister. It seems that we have known each other for a long time! It turned out that she was in the city to see her grandson, and came back at the weekend to tidy up her wife who was alone at home and make something to eat. For the sake of the children, the elder sister turned herself into an amphibian, running between the island and the small town, taking a boat first, then changing to bus 50 1, changing to bus 3 at Dazhushan, and finally taking bus 9 to her son's house. So cumbersome, it can be said that the boat is tired! We dragged her into the car without saying anything. She thanked her again and again, and it was better to be respectful than obedient. She said that she is also engaged in propaganda. She/kloc-showed movies in the village when she was 0/8 years old! What a lovely and funny sister! We laughed all the way to Brother Lu.

After thirty years of expectation, today's dream has finally come true. Because of time, we couldn't climb the mountain in the south. It is said that there is a legend of Qin Shihuang's biological mother, a controversial woman. The most beautiful scenery is in undeveloped places. Zhaitang Island, wait for me, I will come again!
