The old man walked around the watchtower on the beach and said, "It's done well. It really looks like it."
Ma Jian said proudly: "Grandpa Deng, if time were not tight, we could do better. Unfortunately, when the sea tide rises, we won't be able to see it tomorrow."
The old man asked Sun Dahai: "Dahai, can foreigners only do this for a short time? If so, the gains outweigh the losses."
"Grandpa Deng, there are many sand sculpture festivals abroad. Some large-scale works take several weeks to produce, so the sand sculpture festival is not necessarily held at the seaside.
Moreover, after the work is completed, a special glue will be sprayed on it to ensure that the sand sculptures can be preserved in the open air for several months. This way, tourists can be attracted to buy tickets to visit.
The glue will slowly decompose in the future and will have no impact on the environment. Foreign countries attach great importance to environmental protection. If there is no adverse impact on the environment, developed countries will not allow sand sculpture festivals to be held."
The old man nodded and said: "I see, foreign countries have turned this activity into a profitable business."
At this time, Xiao Wang took the team leader to the beach. They suddenly discovered that the old leader was here, and they were immediately in a dilemma, wondering whether they should go there.
After Sun Yuanyuan saw it, she called out: "Auntie Xiao Wang, can you take a photo for us?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Wang and the team leader.
The team leader was relatively calm. He said to the old man: "Hello, chief. I am from the Logistics Department of the Committee. I will serve several committee members and their families during their recuperation this time. The children want to take photos as a souvenir. Please give me your instructions."
The old man also serves as the first director of the Central Advisory Committee and is the team leader’s immediate boss.
The old man waved his hand and said, "You can work normally, I'm just here to appreciate the children's works."
"Grandpa Deng, please take a photo with us." Sun Yuanyuan invited the old man.
"This was done through your cooperation. I'm just here to visit and have no contribution, so I might as well not join in." The old man declined with a smile.
Sun Yuanyuan used her best coquettish technique and began to pester the old man: "Grandpa Deng, you are the first to praise us for our good work. You are... by the way, a witness. Just take the photo with us."
If other children don’t believe it in the future, I will tell them that Grandpa Deng vouched for us, and there are photos, and let’s see who dares not to believe it, hum!”
The proud Sun Yuanyuan took the old man's hand and walked to stand behind the sand sculpture tower. The old man smiled helplessly and let her go. Everyone took their positions with the two of them as the center.
The team leader took the camera in his hand, adjusted the machine, and said to everyone: "Everyone look at me, I shout 'one two three', and everyone laughs together.
Attention everyone: one, two, three.
Okay, very good. Let’s take another photo to be safer. Just listen to my command..."
"Wait a minute," Sun Dahai stopped the team leader and asked, "Don't we shout 'eggplant' together?"
The team leader was stunned. He had never heard of anyone shouting "eggplant" while taking pictures.
Sun Dahai patiently explained to him: "Uncle, some foreign photographers have done research. When people shout 'CHEESE' (cheese) at the moment of taking pictures, the expression on their faces is closest to a natural smile. We Chinese people speak Chinese,
The similar pronunciation is 'eggplant'."
The old man responded quickly and asked with a smile: "Dahai, is this the new knowledge you learned from reading the newspaper in Xiangjiang?"
Sun Dahai quickly explained: "No, Grandpa Deng. I know a few actors in Xiangjiang, and this is what they told me. They have to face the camera all day long, studying how to make themselves more beautiful in photos or TV or movies.
They are experts at looking good."
"You know everyone. Speaking of which, when I was young, I studied in France twice in Xiangjiang, and now I really don't have much of an impression. I have time tomorrow night. If you are fine, come over and chat with me. How about it?
?”
"Grandpa Deng, Dahai promised us that he will cook new dishes for us to eat tomorrow night." Xia Tiantian pouted. She felt that Sun Dahai might be in trouble for this meal.
"Oh, you are so young, you actually know how to cook? Or are you going to make new dishes? What are you going to cook?" The old man was also a little curious.
“This season in Beidaihe, of course it’s all about cooking fish. I’ve thought about several new ways to make fish, some of them have been put into practice, and some are just ideas.
By the way, Grandpa Deng, if you are free tomorrow, you can also try it. You are from Tianfu, and the new dishes I came up with are very close to Tianfu style."
"Really? Well, if the time is right, I'll give it a try."
"Grandpa Deng, can we take pictures? My legs are numb when I stand." Sun Yuanyuan waited for a long time, but still couldn't take pictures, and she felt dissatisfied.
"Okay, Xiao Yuanyuan is anxious, let's take pictures first. Let's try what Dahai said."
One, two, three, "Eggplant!"
With a "click", the shutter was pressed. The scene at this moment was faithfully preserved by the film.
…
In the early morning of the next day, Sun Dahai, Sun Yuanyuan, and Sun Dahe divided into two groups and went to wake up their friends to catch the sea.
Everyone agreed last night to come to the sea early this morning and watch the sunrise.
Everyone got up very early and gathered quickly. Sun Dahai distributed the tools for catching the sea that Sun Dahai asked the service team to bring yesterday.
Each group of five-year-old children holds a small bamboo basket, and their activity plan is to pick up shells on the beach.
Sun Dahai and the others were carrying small buckets with lids, flashlights, net bags, rakes and other tools. Each of them also had a pair of labor protection gloves. Although they were a bit big, it was really hard to do without gloves when encountering crabs or gravel. They wanted
Go to the rocks and see what interesting things there are.
Speaking of catching the sea, you can’t actually pick up many good things in Bohai Bay, let alone Beidaihe. Especially this beach, in order to ensure safety, there are several layers of shark nets surrounding the outside, so large seafood cannot enter at all.
.
Sun Dahai took everyone to go to sea, just to have fun and experience life at the seaside. We don't make a living from this, and we don't care about the harvest.
Set off.
After giving the order, the friends lined up and walked to the beach. According to Sun Dahai's request yesterday, everyone put on rubber-soled shoes. Now it is different from the beach during the day. There are some sundries such as shells left on the beach. Under the guard
Before cleaning the beach, bare feet can easily get injured.
In fact, it is best to wear rain boots when catching the sea, but nowadays there are few rain boots that can fit children's feet, and everyone has Jiefang shoes with rubber soles. So Sun Dahai asked everyone to wear Jiefang shoes to catch the sea.
It doesn't matter, just wash and dry it after you get back.
Against the background of the street lights of the sanatorium behind me, the sea not far away was dark, and the sound of waves crashing on the beach could be heard again and again.
Although the sky was already dark, only waves with white foam could be vaguely seen on the sea, rolling towards the shore.
"Brother Dahai, look, there are a lot of little bugs." Hu Miao exclaimed, her little body trembling.
