34. Dinner parties

Early in the morning, Zhou Xiaoqiang told Zhao Wan to get up and then go to class.

Long Fei asked, "Boss, why are you always staying outside, I miss you, you and the second child are not here, the three of them are bored, I can't find anyone to play games." Long Fei complained.

Zhou Xiaoqiang said: "I have something to do, by the way, the brothers will go to pick up the second child and discharge him from the hospital, and then go to the second child's house for dinner, this is Uncle Gao's treat, and he can't be absent." Zhou Xiaoqiang patted Li Minzhi, Huang Jiawen and Tang Feng on the shoulders and ordered.

The four of them nodded happily when they heard this, Gao Ren's discharge from the hospital is worth celebrating, and his family's seafood feast is also something that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time.

After class, the four of them took Zhou Xiaoqiang's car to the hospital, and when they got there, Li Qiubai, Xie Shanshan and Xu Wenwen had already come. Gao Ren's parents went to the hospital to go through the discharge procedures, and Gao Ren was still infusing the last bottle of liquid. Many young people already knew each other, and the wards seemed a little crowded.

Zhou Xiaoqiang took the lead in packing up Gao Ren's things, and packed a lot of things. After a while, Gao Ren's father and mother came back, and after everyone said hello, Gao's father said, "Children, let's go, go to my house to be lively!"

Gao Ren's family lives in a seaside community, but it is not a sea-view house, and the sea-view house has been bought by the first-line rich, and according to Gao Ren's own words, his family's strength in Linhai is estimated to be at the bottom of the fourth or fifth lines. Even if it is at the bottom, his family can live in a single-family villa, and the courtyard is quite large, and it is not very crowded for so many people to move in the courtyard.

Gao Ren was resting under the pergola, and Zhou Xiaoqiang and the people in the dormitory were following Uncle Gao to deal with the seafood. Gao Ren's father's name is Gao Qiang, he was a deck sailor when he was young, and later he had an opportunity to do seafood business and slowly began to make a fortune. So Gao Qiang is a master of handling seafood. Lobsters, sea crabs, large conchs, octopus, and scallops, although they are not the best, they are good goods that are difficult to buy in the market, and they are specially left by Gao Qiang. Li Qiubai and the others followed Gao Ren's mother to learn how to roll out dough and make dumpling wrappers, preparing to make seafood dumplings. More than two hours later, a sumptuous seafood feast was ready.

Gao Qiang said: "Come, let's have a glass of tea instead of wine to celebrate my son's discharge from the hospital." "Gao Qiang raised a glass, everyone raised a glass, but what was in the cup was herbal tea. According to Gao Qiang, eating seafood and drinking alcohol is too hurtful. The guests also had to drive, so no one suggested drinking.

Gao Qiang saw that everyone had finished drinking, and said again: "Thank you for your concern for Gao Ren, I know that this kid is an unreliable child, and I will have to bear more in the future." Especially Xiaoqiang, you are two years older than them all, and you are sensible, I hope you take care of them somewhat. Uncle toasts you. ”

Zhou Xiaoqiang hurriedly stood up and said: "Whatever my uncle says, I should respect you, and besides, I am their eldest brother, as long as I can do it, I will not stand by." Zhou Xiaoqiang pressed the wine glass very low, and then toasted Gao Qiang. Gao Ren said: "Dad, why are you so verbose, we young people are very good brothers and sisters, aren't you a part of saying this." What's more, we drank tea at the beginning, and they didn't let us eat seafood!"

Zhou's mother said: "Eat and eat, you will know how to eat." You have just been discharged from the hospital today, and the doctor said that you can only drink some lean porridge, and you have grown up with these seafoods, and you are not enough to eat them! Come on, children, you are welcome, do it. ”

So everyone set out to eliminate the seafood on the table.

Eating almost, Gao Qiang said: "You don't know, the current seafood business is difficult to do, mainly because the production of good goods in the sea has been greatly reduced, and the competition among various companies is too fierce. In the past, it would not be difficult for the lobsters and crabs on the table to double in size, but now, these are also rare. If you reach my age, I don't know if you can still eat seafood like this. ”

Gao Ren's mother said: "Why are you telling the children about this, they are not sailors, can they have such a feeling as you? ”

Zhou Xiaoqiang was surprised: "I said how can these seafood be so delicious, it turns out to be pure wild, it is really much better than those on the market." ”

Gao Qiang said: "Of course, how can my uncle invite you to dinner without getting some good goods? Our family's situation is better, I have my own ocean-going fishing boat, which produces and sells myself, but because of the expenditure of resources and manpower, I have made less money over the years, and I am ready to buy the boat to do some other business, I am old, and Gao Ren will not be able to take over my class in the future." ”

Gao Ren said: "Dad, why are you still holding on if you don't make money, you have been losing money for the past few years, and you are about to lose your old capital, and you should have sold the boat a long time ago." ”

Gao Qiang said angrily: "You kid knows a fart, there are many old brothers who eat with me on the boat and under the boat, they still have to support their families, we can't forget our roots! Why did I give birth to a son like you, I'm so angry." ”

Gao Ren was unconvinced and said: "Dad, you have done a good job, but the general trend is that the days of relying on fishing boats to eat are not good, why don't you consider transformation, isn't it good to engage in fishing farm farming like others, and let your old subordinates help you raise fish, isn't it better than going out to fish?"

Gao Ren's mother said: "Okay, okay, don't be noisy, Gao Ren, don't be angry with your father, you think he is not annoying, he can't sleep all night now, and you know fooling around." If you are half as sensible as Zhou Xiaoqiang, we will be at ease. ”

Zhou Xiaoqiang was depressed, why did the quarrel between the two fathers and sons involve him again.

Gao's mother said: "You can't spend money lavishly in the future, your father saw that a fishing ground cost more than 30 million, and now it is still more than 10 million, if that fishing ground is taken down, you can explain it to his old brothers." ”

Gao Ren said unhappily: "I'm used to it, I can't change it for a while, don't let me pick up girls, it's better to die!"

Gao Qiang stood up with a swish, and there was a crisp slap: "Then you will die!" Gao Ren's tears of direct pain fell.

Zhou Xiaoqiang didn't expect it to be like this, so he hurriedly stood up and said: "Uncle, don't be angry, I will look at Gao Ren in the future and don't let him spend money indiscriminately, he is really, in less than a month, the money on his body will be spent." Only then did Zhou Xiaoqiang understand why Gao Ren was crying poor this month, and he didn't even have money for hospitalization. Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, but the strong and true masters, for the sake of their former brothers, are still supporting themselves when they have difficulties.

Others really can't speak, after all, this is someone's family matter, so they can only quietly avoid making trouble. Zhou Xiaoqiang stopped Gao Qiang, while Long Fei and the others protected Gao Ren from being beaten again.

Gao Ren's mother said: "Let you see the jokes, these two people have a temper, when they kiss each other, they are closer than anyone else, and when they are angry, they say that they will do it, I am used to it, but let you see the jokes." Come, sit down, and continue eating. ”

It's just that at this time, I'm still in the mood to eat.

Gao's mother said again: "Xiaoqiang, when I checked out just now, I found out that it was the hospitalization fee you paid to Gao Ren, I want to beat him for this bastard, less than a month, I used 20,000 yuan, and I don't know what bad things to do." Wait a minute, Auntie will give you the money. ”

Zhou Xiaoqiang waved his hand and said: "No need Auntie, I remember it, and when Gao Ren makes his own money in the future, let him pay it back." He looked at Gao Qiang again and asked, "Uncle, do you want to buy a fishing farm to raise fish, can you make money in this way?"

Gao Qiang said: "As long as the fish are raised well, under this trend, artificially farmed seafood will definitely eat away at the market share of wild seafood, at least not lose money." ”

Zhou Xiaoqiang said: "Uncle Gao, I admire you very much, I still have some spare money to help my uncle complete the transformation, but I want to hold the shares." For example, if I pay 15 million to make up for your shortfall in funds, I only need to account for 20% of the shares, I don't participate in the operation of the fishery, I only need dividends. Do you think that's going to work?"
