25. Small inn

On the coast, Xuan Xuan was holding a small dried fish and followed behind Hong Xiaokai with a sigh.

Xiao Kai went home for a few days, and helped Uncle Guang take care of the fishing boat every day.

In Xuan Xuan's eyes, in addition to his father Qi Ji, the most admired is his brother Xiaokai. These days, I have been pestering Xiao Kai a lot, and I always feel that with Xiao Kai's brother, I will become more mature.

"Brother Xiaokai, when will you marry Sister Xiaoshui? The dried fish in Xuanxuan's mouth was tasteless, so he chewed it and swallowed it, his little eyes rolled, thinking that in the afternoon, Brother Xiaokai asked Sister Xiaoshui to come to the beach together, and Sister Xiaoshui found a reason to excuse herself, and felt a little curious.

"Well, I'll have to wait a while. Thinking of Cheng Shui, Xiao Kai's heart was strangely complicated. The two grew up as childhood sweethearts, and the idea of "marrying Xiaoshui as a wife when he grows up" is like an established fact, engraved in his heart. But over the years, Xiaoshui has grown up, and her beauty and intelligence are something that her hard work can't catch up with. Especially in the past few years when Xiaoshui has been studying in college outside, the suitors that Xiaokai has seen can't be counted on two hands. Although the two of them still rely on each other in the big city like when they were children, but now that the family affection is getting stronger day by day, Xiao Kai doesn't know what Xiao Shui thinks of him in his heart.

Maybe like many lines on TV, Xiaoshui only regards him as an older brother?

Xuan Xuan on the side tilted his head and listened, of course, he couldn't hear the confusion and helplessness in Brother Xiaokai's tone. He only cared about the things he cared about: "Oh, Brother Xiaokai, you and Sister Xiaoshui have both graduated from college, shouldn't you think about life events earlier?" So you're all older, you should get married early. "Xuan Xuan has been messing with the aunts in the town for a long time every day, and he talks in a set of ways, and his tone is decent. Hearing this, Xiao Kai just wanted to laugh.

Xuan Xuan continued: "I still want to be a flower girl for you, it's been a long time since the town has held a wedding wine, I want to go crazy if I want to eat candy!

Xuan Xuan sat there with a small face, probably thinking of eating all kinds of delicious and fragrant sugar at other people's wedding banquets before, his eyes were shining, and his saliva was about to flow out.

Xiao Kai touched Xuan Xuan's head weakly, but he was amused by the child's innocent appearance and had no worries in an instant.

There will always be such a magic in your hometown. No matter how complicated and difficult the world outside is, as long as he returns, he can always be healed by everything in Red Sea Town. A qiē grievance can be soothed here, a qiē dream seems to be at your fingertips, and any kind of dream can be done unscrupulously, without foresight, let alone panic.

"Okay, when I get married to Sister Xiaoshui, Xuanxuan, your main task is to eat candy and eat the delicious food at the wedding banquet, okay?" Xiao Kai put down the work in his hand, hugged Xuanxuan, stood on the rickety fishing boat, and looked up at the brightest stars in the sky.

"Xiao Kai, where are you? Can you come back immediately, Brother Qi Ji is looking for your help." Xiao Shui suddenly called and called Xiao Kai back from the beach.

Xiao Kai thought that the food stall was not manpower enough to ask him for help, and when he arrived at the food stall, he was almost frightened by the man sitting there elegantly eating a plate of double pepper fish head.

Teng ...... ......"Zhang Xiaokai knows this person, but it is obvious that this man called "Xiaocheng" doesn't know him at all. With an expression of "Who are you?" on his face, the man only glanced up, and continued to eat the plate of fish that was tender, spicy and numb, but could not control his mouth at all, and continued to eat the third bowl of rice in his hand.

Qi Ji poked his head out from the second floor and called Xiao Kai, who was standing there so embarrassed that he didn't know how to deal with himself.

"Who the hell is that person?" Qi Ji was full of curiosity.

"He is the majority shareholder of Tengsheng Group, and our firm specializes in helping him with private legal matters...... My master talked about him when he took me. Xiao Kai was also curious. The dossier about Teng Cheng is the best confidentiality work in the firm, because he took his master to do this piece, so he has also been in contact with some. "It's just a wonder, whoever stands on the stall is unlucky. "That's what the master said about this local tyrant at the beginning, but I didn't expect that now the local tyrant is in his hometown...... Eating fish heads?

Didn't you sign a strange weight loss contract recently? The master has been complaining for several days, and I heard that the rules have been changed for two weeks.

What's going on with that big eating and drinking battle downstairs?

Xiao Kai was confused.

Qi Ji listened casually, and was sure that he was a rich master, and he didn't want to do too much, so he helped with the work.

"You help me move the plank behind the door to the second floor next door, and Xuanxuan's desk is also moved over, Xiaoshui will help me find a clean cloth, and you will help her when you finish it." As he spoke, Qi Ji flipped out the toothbrush that had been given toothpaste for ten yuan and twenty from the market last Tuesday, found the latest glass at home, and went to the terrace to carry a broken glass basin in his arms.

"Xuanxuan, go to Xiaoqiang's house to borrow two tropical fish, your Uncle Lu said that he wanted one yellow and one blue. They borrowed the oxygen pump for me, good. ”

Assign tasks. Qi Ji held his things and stepped on the wooden plank, which was not strong at all, from the second floor of his house to the second floor of Qin's mother's house.

Twenty minutes ago, there were piles of broken furniture, tattered windows, and dirty terraces. As soon as Lu Li saw that there was money to be made, he ran up and started to move things and sweep the terrace.

Qi Ji found an open space to put down the things Lu Li wanted, and looked at the people who were mending the windows with glass.

Who would have thought that Young Master Lu, who came to Red Sea Town three months ago and couldn't pick up his shoulders or lift his hands, would now be able to endure hardships and work, and he would be decent in everything he did, and he didn't have any shelves?

Many times, Qi Ji forgot where Lu Li came from and what else he needed to do. I just feel that this person is very close to Red Sea Town, and his appearance has made his originally simple and peaceful life chaotic and frightened, there are always such and such troubles, and he will always provoke strange people. Since this man walked into his own life, there was never a way to take his eyes off him.

thought he was just a lazy young master, but he had a tenacity that refused to admit defeat. I thought that people who grew up in the city and were used to being pampered would not adapt to the boring life in the town, but this person took root here, and everyone liked him very much.

I like him very much.

I like it to naively think that he will really stay here forever and live a peaceful and ordinary life with himself and Xuanxuan.

Lu Li's reaction that night made Qi Ji clearly understand that this person's heart had already been filled with more important people and things.

Red Sea Town is too small and barren, and Lu Li's heart can't fit it.

"Oops-" Lu Li clumsily hammered a nail and almost hit his fingers.

Qi Ji directly confiscated his hammer.

"I'll get the glass, Mama Qin has gone to find the curtains, you go and see if the color can be used." ”

"Good. Lu Li obediently put down the nail and wanted to go downstairs to find Qin's mother.

Halfway through, he suddenly stopped: "I was thinking before, the two rooms upstairs of Qin's mother are empty, in fact, the scenery here is very good, and it can be cleaned up as a homestay guest room." But I don't see any tourists coming here, so ......"

Lu Li wanted to explain to Qi Ji, but the man didn't raise his head, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and was skillfully mending the glass.

"That...... I went down. Lu Li went downstairs in embarrassment.

Hearing Qi Ji's soft words: "Just do what you want to do." As long as it can help, it's a matter of words. ”

It's somewhat strange and polite.

……

Here, the local tyrant Teng, who called himself "Xiaocheng", ate five bowls of rice in one go.

A large fish head several circles larger than his face was eaten by him, and there was not even a residue left except the bones.

After eating, he still looked at the soup on the fish head on the plate, as if he had never eaten anything delicious in his life.

"That...... Xiao Cheng ......" Situ, who was stunned on the side, finally found a chance to speak: "Ahem, when we came, your personal doctor reminded me to pay attention to drinking...... Food...... Hehehe, if you like to eat, Uncle Guang's cooking here is delicious, let him show you a unique job tomorrow, the grilled scallops he made are a must......"

After all, Situ is a person who has been on the road for a long time, and his skills of observing words and emotions have been perfected, and when he saw that the local tyrant was unhappy with the words "private doctor" and "pay attention to diet", he immediately changed his thinking, and he didn't breathe.

He just wanted to say, let's go and take a look at the place where we live when we are full, but he was glared back by Qin's mother, who was passing by and holding a big piece of red and crumpled.

"Hey, Xiao Cheng, it's still early, let's go to the beach first, let's eat by the way?

"Oh?" Teng Cheng heard that the stars here were beautiful, and immediately became energetic, looked up at the dark sky, and got up to leave.

Situ took the opportunity to pull Lu Li, who had been running up and down seven or eight times, and asked in a low voice, "Are you reliable?"

Lu Li was sweating profusely, and he looked hurried: "Help me for another hour, luxury will definitely not be possible, and it is still okay to be fresh." Thanks!"

"Don't mess up!" Situ whispered.

Lu Li was just about to leave, when he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, lend me your phone." ”

Situ didn't know what he was going to do, and then he heard Lu Li say into the phone: "Chen Yan, it's me Lu Li." Oh, it's Situ's phone. Are you in the hospital? I'll come over later and ask you to borrow something. Okay, I'll be here in about half an hour, and Qi Ji will send me ...... I'm fine, don't worry. ”

Situ watched in embarrassment as his phone was returned.

Situ actually didn't have any confidence in his heart, mainly because he didn't know what the local tyrant was going to do when he suddenly came to Red Sea Town, but fortunately, he was very satisfied with the food, if the place where he lived was too bad, he was afraid that the local tyrant would leave in anger. Isn't the pie that finally fell off about to be taken back?

Fortunately, an hour later, Situ accompanied the absent-minded local tyrant who was fighting with his eyelids back to the entrance of the town, and silently gave a thumbs up when he saw Qin's mother's grocery store after being urgently modified.

I saw--

The huge orange plaque of "Rural Taobao Service Station" was hung in a small corner on the side. A ready-to-paint, but quite artistic The words "Red Sea Building" reflect the simple but lively seascape painting placed there, quite a bit of European charm.

There is an extra "accommodation registration" sign on the counter of Qin's mother's commissary. On the side of the stairs on the second floor, there were small candles in a few glasses. The glasses were large and small, and the sporadic flames flickered there, accompanied by the jingle of wind chimes upstairs. It has a different flavor.

Lu Li took two keys and stood on the second floor waiting for them, the keys wrapped around two conches each. The terrace is clean, the same candles are lit, the sea breeze blows comfortably, and the air smells of the seaside.

Lu Li looked at Situ with a smile and kept giving him a look: "Mr. Teng lives in room 201, and Mr. Situ lives in room 202." ”

Situ didn't think much about it, just thought that there was really a hotel here, but he didn't know it before.

After he saw Teng Cheng take the key and enter the house and turn on the light, it seemed that everything was normal, and he silently opened his room 202.

As soon as I entered the door, I almost screamed out.

"Holy—"

"Shhhhh But rest assured, your guests should ...... Will be more satisfied. We don't have time to get that room of yours. ”

Situ was shocked by the black, dusty, broken furniture and weeds he saw when he opened the door. At this time, he only cared: "Then where do I live?!"

Lu Li's face was calm: "I just confirmed with Chen Yan that you are in the hospital." I was discharged from the hospital today, and the wards were empty. ”

"I ...... You ......" Situ felt like he had been played: "What the hell are you doing!

Lu Li glanced at the sign pointed by Situ: "Xiaoshui and Xiaokai painted it, upstairs just cleaned up, but don't worry, the sanitary condition is first-class, the quilts are all moved directly from the hospital, Chen Yan said that the bedding in the hospital has been sterilized, and other daily necessities are also new." The deficiencies can only be slowly improved tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”

"I'm ......" Situ rolled his eyes: "I can't see that you are so bold." ”

"Tsk, you can't afford not to make money. Lu Li felt happy in his heart: "Don't leave first, wait on the second floor for a while, your friend will go to the hospital after he sleeps, okay?" Chen Yan is on duty in the hospital at night, you can just go to him directly." ”

……

So Situ Sheng, who was put on the table, squatted on the terrace on the second floor until the lights were turned off in Teng Cheng's room, and the lights in Lu Li and Qi Ji's house next door were also turned off - he was still struggling with whether to go to the hospital.

At two o'clock in the morning, Situ, who was trapped as a dog, arrived at the door of the hospital, and after struggling for a long time, the door opened from the inside.

Looking at each other, Chen Yan was holding a sleeping kitten in his hand.

"I thought you weren't coming," Chen Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Situ looked away: "I was killed by Lu Li, and I have nowhere to go." ”

"Go upstairs and go to sleep. Chen Yan got out of the way, and he seemed to be going out.

"Where are you going in the middle of the night?" Situ was always nosy, especially Chen Yan's.

"I can't sleep either, go to the lighthouse and see the scenery. ”

"Are you sick, in the middle of the night?" Situ only felt irritable. I don't know if it's because I haven't seen Chen Yan for a few days, and he seems to have lost a lot of weight.

"No, the view is great. Do you want to be together? I happen to have something to do with you. ”
