Chapter 35 Wish Bottle

Sea Bottle Hotel is located in the southeast corner of the island. It is a small villa with a garden and a roof.

There are not many guest rooms in the homestay, only 8 rooms, 5 rooms on the second floor and 3 rooms on the third floor.

Tang Tangding's big bed room is on the third floor.

The moment the door of the room was pushed open, he heard a tinkling sound.

It turned out to be the blue wind chime hanging on the bay window.

"Tang Tang, come and have a look." Yao Lin beckoned him to the window.

Open the window, not far away is the blue sea and sparsely populated beaches.

"The room you booked has a very good view. In summer, you can see dense crowds on the beach, but it's good to live here in winter, it's very quiet."

Tang Tang nodded and walked forward, some cool wind blowing the hair around his ears, accompanied by the ringing of the wind chimes above his head, his brain was emptied all of a sudden, and he felt very comfortable.

Yao Lin put the suitcase next to the shoe rack, and lit the scented candle on the table for Tang Tang.

Then he put the special crystal door card on the table and said with a smile, "Then you pack it first, and you can come to the lobby on the first floor to play when you have time."

"OK, thanks."

After Yao Lin went out, Tang Tang fell on the big bed in the middle of the room, and couldn't help but rolled around a few times hugging the pillow.

Very comfortable, the mattress and bedding smelled like sunshine.

His room is in the shape of a semi-arc, the walls are painted sky blue, and the lamp above the room is also made of shells, which looks very delicate.

What interested him even more were the empty bottles on the high-waisted wooden table.

Similar to a drift bottle, there are post-it notes and signature pens beside the table. Tang Tang immediately remembered what it was.

When he was 12 years old, he also wrote his wish on a sticky note, put it in a small bottle and threw it into the sea.

"It's quite romantic." Tang Tang smiled and put the bottle back, ready to take a bath first, and then go outside for a walk.

After taking a hot shower, he feels comfortable all over.

The sea salt-flavored aromatherapy is paired with the wind chimes that ring from time to time, making the whole room look very small and fresh.

Tang Tang put on light clothes, changed the down jacket into a windproof jacket, and went downstairs.

When he checked in, he found that the current season was really deserted.

"Tang Tang, you are here." Yao Lin spotted him and greeted him with a smile.

"Hi." Tang Tang stepped forward and saw that the other party was painting a dilapidated wooden cabinet, and asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

Yao Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The uncle from the neighbor just sent it to me. He said he picked it up from the trash dump. It would be a pity to throw it away, so he brought it to me."

Then he shook his head helplessly: "But the cabinet is so broken that it can't even be painted evenly."

Tang Tang carefully studied the wooden cabinets, because the climate is humid and bumpy, it is really not easy to paint.He asked, "What are you going to use this for?"

Yao Lin pointed to another corner of the hall, "Here, put those things."

At this time, Tang Tang discovered that in addition to the front desk and stairs on the first floor, the area on the other side is also very interesting.

He walked over and saw countless drift bottles with post-it notes on a row of tables.

Some were still steaming, as if they had just been fished out of the sea.

And the blue wall in this area is covered with these small bottles.

At the same time, there are shells, pearls, beautiful pebbles, and a piece of Polaroid hanging embellishment.

Yao Lin came behind him at some point, and said proudly, "Isn't it pretty?"

Tang Tang nodded, and then asked: "Did you design these?"

Yao Lin waved his hand, "I don't have such a good aesthetic. The volunteers and guests who came here did the decoration together. I am only responsible for picking up these small bottles on the beach."

Tang Tang blinked, "Are these bottles...all thrown by others?"

Yao Lin: "That's right, some of the tourists who came here threw them in the wrong direction, and their wish bottles were washed up on the beach by the waves. I couldn't bear to see those bottles being collected by the cleaners as garbage, so I went to pick them up every day I took a few back and stored them, thinking that if someone revisits the old place in the future and sees those wish bottles that I threw back then, it must be very touching.”

This is indeed a touching thing.

Tang Tang leaned over, pinned a strand of hair that fell from her cheek to her ear, and stared at those small bottles in a daze: "I also threw one when I was 12 years old. I don't know if there is my wish bottle in it."

"Haha, it's been so long, I definitely don't have this."

"Besides, it was a wish 10 years ago... You must have realized it now."

Yao Lin believes that 12-year-old children only have a few wishes.

10 years have passed, and the original wish has either come true, or... has been forgotten.

Tang Tang got up and smiled, and did not continue the topic just now.

He walked back to the old cabinet, knocked on it, and asked, "Is there any acrylic paint? I can help transform it."

"Of course, my homestay has everything I want."

Yao Lin quickly brought some bottles, cans, and paintbrushes, and said with a smile: "I usually change my style every six months. The guests who come here and those young volunteers like to paint and paint. They have prepared these, and the walls of the hall, the cabinets and the like are tossed by them."

Tang Tang took the brush, smiled and shook his head: "You are so casual."

Afterwards, Yao Lin answered a phone call and went out. He squatted in the corner of the hall and remodeled the wooden cabinet.

The base color is painted with a layer of sky blue, and then the uneven places can be superimposed with paint.

This is a time-consuming job, because the first coat of paint is dry before applying the second and third coats.

Tang Tang concentrated on graffiti on the cabinet. He drew the sea, seagulls, shells and pearls.

Because Yao Lin said that this cabinet was used to store those stranded wish bottles, he added a few floating bottles that surfaced in the sea.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark outside.

"Oh my god, are you still painting?" Yao Lin was carrying a big bag, and beside him was a gray-haired but energetic old lady.

"Are you back? Who is this?"

Tang Tang stood up, his legs were a little numb, and he held the wall for a while.

"This is my grandma." Yao Lin put his bags on the table, drank a bottle of mineral water in one go, and finally came back to life.

"She went shopping in the city, and she didn't know what she bought that was so heavy."

"Grandma is good." Tang Tang called out.

"Hello, hello." Grandma Yao Lin couldn't wait to open the bag on the table, took out a bottle of sweet-scented osmanthus honey, and said with a smile, "You sit down first, and I'll make some scented tea for you."

"Your grandma is in good health." Looking at the old man with agility and steady steps, Tang Tang enviously said.

"She likes to go out every day, which always makes people worry...Come and let me see what grandma bought again."

There are a total of four full bags on the table.

The two bags were packed in plastic bags, and it was clear at a glance that they were all ingredients. The other two bags were packed in cloth bags. He opened them with doubts on his face...

"Grandma! What kind of mess did you buy again!" Yao Lin blushed furiously.

The old man calmly came out with two cups of nectar tea, and said displeasedly: "What is mess? These are beautiful and practical, don't you think they are young people?"

Tang Tang looked at all kinds of strange dishes and dishes in the cloth bag and didn't know what to say.

He could only bite the bullet and say, "Just... you can hold things, it's pretty good."

Yao Lin casually picked up a small flower bowl, and said helplessly, "Grandma, look, the patterns on the bowl are painted on, and the paint has faded before it dries!"

"Oh, really!" Grandma Yao Lin took the bowl and said angrily, "The young man who set up a street stall said he would help me pick out good-looking ones, but I still trust him... No way! I'm going to settle accounts with him tomorrow! "

"Come on, you just want to see how handsome he is." Yao Lin knew his grandma too well, so he couldn't resist a handsome guy. As long as the other party said a few nice words, he would immediately pay for it stupidly.

"Hey? How do you know he's handsome... That kid is indeed as good-looking as the ones on TV... But he has a bad heart. I'll teach him tomorrow!"

Yao Lin rolled his eyes: "Don't worry about it anymore, he's already gone."

……

The conversation between the old and the young was really interesting. Tang Tang sat down and drank a few sips of scented tea, watching the pair of grandparents and grandchildren "fight for a few more rounds" with some envy.

In the end, Yao Lin was defeated.

"That's all right, all you have to do is be happy." His mouth was parched, and he could only admit defeat after arguing.

Grandma Yao Lin was in a good mood, she had long forgotten about being cheated.

She looked at Tang Tang with a smile and said: "I bought a lot of vegetables today, the young man will have dinner together tonight."

Just as Tang Tang wanted to say no, Yao Lin preemptively said: "Let's eat together, you helped me renovate the cabinet, just treat it as my thank you. And one of the characteristics of my homestay is the home-cooked food made by my grandma, and I used to eat it when there were many people. It’s a pity if you don’t eat it.”

The hospitality is hard to come by, Tang Tang nodded with a smile: "Okay, I look forward to grandma's craftsmanship."

There are not many people in the off-season B&B, only Yao Lin and grandma and a volunteer are in the inn.

"You are the only new guest today, so I let Xiao Lizi go out to play. This girl, like grandma, loves to run around."

Xiao Lizi is the volunteer girl that Yao Lin talked about.

"Isn't the occupancy rate high these two days?" Tang Tang asked curiously, "I didn't see anyone coming in the lobby this afternoon."

"Although it's not as good as peak season...but our house is full every day."

"The guests in other rooms went out to play early in the morning, and came back one after another later in the evening."

"By the way, there will be a movie in the hall after dinner. If you want to watch it, you can come down and join everyone."

At dinner time, Xiao Lizi also came back with big and small bags.

The girl is a sophomore this year, and like Tang Tang, she doesn't go home during the winter vacation. She comes to Haiping Inn as a volunteer during the holidays.

"I like grandma, so I want to come whenever I have time!" She said coquettishly, holding grandma's arm.

Grandma Yao Lin also liked this lively and cheerful little girl very much. She patted her head and said, "Good boy."

"Hey, hey, hey." His grandson Yao Lin said, "That's my grandma!"

Xiao Lizi stuck out her tongue at him: "But grandma likes me more."

Another pair of happy friends, Tang Tang smiled while scratching the crab legs, and the atmosphere on the table was very happy.

Suddenly, the old man seemed to be thinking of someone, "Linzi, why can't Shenzi come here recently, I haven't seen him for a long time."

Yao Lin's mouth was full of greasy food, he smacked his fingers and said, "Brother Shen has been a little busy recently, he said he would come to see you a year ago."

Deep...brother?

Tang Tang froze for a moment, then smiled at himself.

How can there be such a coincidence in this world.
