Chapter 73: At the Dinner Table
At the dinner table, Li Ming behaved very well, chatting with anyone at the table, not pulling down a single one, even the sister-in-law Dong who served the food also praised a few words, praising her with a smile and walking with the wind.
Yin Dong watched Li Ming's performance, and smiled, but he didn't target him, after all, people supported the equipment and construction team, not to mention that they were soft in their hands and soft in eating people's mouths, but they still had to think about other people's favors. Of course, this favor is geometric, whether you want to return it or not is another story.
Gu Wen, who also knew it, didn't pay much attention to Li Ming, and kept teasing Xiaobao, the big one and the small one frolicked non-stop, which made the atmosphere on the table more lively.
Brother Cai, who was brought in by Wang Haidong as a guest, although he had an opinion on Li Ming, he hid it in his heart, and he was still very hospitable on the surface, and Wang Haidong, who didn't know anything, accompanied Li Ming to talk nonsense.
When asked by Li Ming about his father's condition, Yin Dong put down the wine glass and sighed: "My dad may not be dead, he has lived in the hospital for so long, he has spent so much money, and he is about to go bankrupt, even the doctor asked us to prepare for the future, my little girl roasted a scallop to eat in order to make the old man happy, the old man has a big appetite, he hasn't eaten anything for many days, and he wants to eat since that day." ”
Li Ming's eyes moved, and he pretended to be casual and asked, "Oh, where did that scallop come from?"
Brother Cai smiled and said: "On the beach in the east of the village, Dongzi said that he wanted to find a way to make money for the people in the village, try to make a scallop processing, and was ready to ask Haichao to partner with him, Haichao asked his wife to go to the beach to pick, and the purchase price was only three or four yuan, and no one collected." That is, the garlic vermicelli scallops made by Dongzi are different from the way our fishing village people usually eat boiled and salted, and the taste is definitely better. ”
Yin Dong saw that Li Ming's eyes suddenly dimmed, and couldn't help but smile slightly, took a chopstick cold salad with kelp shreds, took a bite, and said: "Not only that, what fresh seafood can the old man eat in the county, and the seafood in our Dawan Village is more delicious, the ingredients are good, and with Lanzi's filial piety, the old man feels delicious." Later, didn't you often send seafood to the old man, didn't the old man think it was delicious?"
Brother Cai nodded violently: "Yes, yes, every time the old man thinks that the fish and shrimp I sent over are more delicious, otherwise, he will not have to be discharged from the hospital this time." I think, cancer patients, psychological effects are more effective than medicine. He felt that the fish was good to eat and could cure diseases, and the whole person's spirit was different. ”
Even the erudite Li Ming can't refute this reason, because such a precedent is not unprecedented, but he instinctively feels that there is something wrong with it. Or rather, he doubts for the sake of doubt.
Li Ming decided to have in-depth contact with Brother Cai and his father, so he smiled and said: "When will the old man go back to the village? During this time, I have a car to drag things to the village, and I can bring the old man back." ”
Brother Cai hurriedly excused himself and said, "How embarrassing is this? No, my sister will send the old man back." ”
Yin Dong said: "Boss Li has a car, it's good to bring the old man back by the way, why bother Sister Chunling to send it, she still has to go to work." ”
Li Ming said: "Yes, you don't have to be polite to me. By the way, anyway.
That being said, he spoke in a tone that was less enthusiastic than he had just been. Because he felt that since Yin Dong didn't care, it meant that even if he contacted the old man, he wouldn't be able to find out anything useful.
Seeing the subtle change in Li Ming's expression, Yin Dong smiled and continued to eat his own.
With Ash Island and the spiritual cave at the bottom of the fishing ground, the water quality in the waters around Dawan Village is definitely better than elsewhere, and the quality of marine life is definitely better. Yin Dong felt that even if it was not caught from the fishing grounds, the seafood on the table tasted very delicious, and it was not worse than the seafood he ate in those high-end restaurants in his previous life.
Li Ming took a chopstick of braised sea bass and ate it, and couldn't help but say, "These are all fish caught in the sea outside your village, right?"
Wang Haidong said with a smile: "Yes, I went to the east of the village to cast a few nets before, fresh is fresh, but it is too small." ”
Brother Cai took over and said: "There are fewer and fewer fish around the village, and when we were in elementary school, we wouldn't want such a small sea bass." Now it's all luck to have such a big fish in a net. ”
"But no, my dad still thinks that I don't run a construction team anymore, saying that I am not doing a good job, and the fishermen should buy a fishing boat to go to sea to fish, saying that if they run farther away, there will be fish, but how do he know that the life of the offshore fishing boat is not easy now." Wang Haidong sighed, gave Li Ming a glass of wine, and then said: "I know a contractor in the county, there used to be a big boat, that guy is simply an oil tiger, out of the sea, he can't even make back the oil money, so he can only sell the boat." ”
This can be regarded as arousing Brother Cai's heart disease, he slapped the table hard, shaking the cups and plates on the table, and sighed: "Don't say that the far-sea fishing boat eats oil, it is my boat, every time I refuel, I am frightened, I am afraid that I will not even be able to earn back the oil money when I go to sea, no, my hair is gray." ”
Xiaobao was taken aback, tilted his little brain and looked at Brother Cai, probably saw something, stretched out his little paw and pulled Brother Cai
The sleeve of the milky voice said: "Uncle...... Don't cry!"
Brother Cai's eyes were really full of tears, so he hurriedly stretched out his fingers to wipe the corners of his eyes, hugged Xiaobao again, nodded the tip of his nose, and said with a smile: "Okay, Uncle doesn't cry, Xiaobao is really good." ”
Gu Wen owed, and then said: "Good fart!"
Xiaobao grabbed the glass of wine in front of Brother Cai and smashed it on Gu Wen's face, the wine splashed on his face, and seeing him wiping his face in embarrassment, the little bun giggled evilly.
"Xiaobao!"
Yin Dong shouted with a calm face, Xiaobao's laughter stopped abruptly, his little paws grabbed the paper towel on the table, wiped it on Gu Wen's face, and then turned his head to look at Yin Dong, showing a flattering smile.
Li Ming was surprised, and couldn't help laughing: "This kid is destroying evidence?"
Gu Wen scolded with a smile: "Little villain, do you think it's enough to wipe Lao Tzu?
Xiaobao saw that his father didn't speak with a straight face, and his little paw slapped directly on Gu Wen's face, and wiped it a few times, while wiping, his father laughed hehehe.
Yin Dong looked at this eccentric son with a smile, and sighed helplessly: "I don't know who this kid learned from?
"That's right, when you were a child, you were as quiet as a little girl, you always held a book wherever you went, whoever asked you was going to be a scientist, even if you didn't go to college in the end, you were admitted to the key one. is a proper scholar, but this kid is just like a leather monkey, and he will definitely be a small village bully in the future. Wang Haidong also laughed.
