Chapter 987 - Delicate Thoughts

PS: Today's monthly pass, alas, can only be described as miserable. If you have a ticket, please support it, thank you.

It's no wonder that the Tao sisters and brothers were so shocked, mainly because Gao Zhuang said that his boat was nearby just now, and the two naturally thought that the so-called boat should be a small sailboat or something. However, when they arrived at the place, the two found that there were no small sailing boats at all, only a large ship.

At first, the two of them didn't realize that the big ship was the destination, and they planned to look for a small sailboat next to the big ship. But as soon as Gao Zhuang greeted him, someone lowered the gangway and let them go up, and the two realized the truth of the matter. For a while, there is naturally a feeling of subversion of the three views.

Of course, Tao Dou is relatively young and has a relatively fast ability to accept it, so he woke up in an instant, and then grabbed Gao Zhuang's thick arm, feeling like hugging his thighs: "Big brother, is this ship really yours?" ”

"Hehe......"

Gao Zhuang smiled, and if he didn't answer, it was a kind of acquiescence, and then beckoned, "Everyone go up." ”

"Liuzi, prepare to sail and target Langqi Island!"

After stepping onto the deck, Gao Zhuang shouted, which directly proved his status as the captain of a ship. After a while, a group of sailors did not ask Gao Zhuang why he went to Langqi Island, and they all got busy, lifted anchor and sailed in an orderly manner.

After only a few minutes, everyone felt the big ship slowly leaving the pier and heading towards Langgi Island. At the same time, Gao Zhuang also invited everyone into the cabin to rest for a while, and served tea by the way.

At the right time, Wang Guan tasted tea leisurely, but Tao Dou was not so indifferent, his eyes were full of excitement, as if he had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start, and he was very unstable.

It's like the next door neighbor's son. Suddenly became a big tyrant. As a neighbor with a good relationship, it is inevitable to hope to get the help of the big tyrant to get rid of the predicament of his family, but he knows that this may be a non-divisive thought. Everyone is just neighbors, what does it have to do with you when people get rich?

This is how to suffer from gains and losses, which naturally makes Tao Dou very entangled and hesitant......

In contrast, Tao Li was more calm after being surprised. That is, there is not too much enthusiasm, and it will not be deliberately cold, that is, it is treated normally. On the contrary, it makes people look up. Tao Dou's psychology belongs to the normal state of the vast majority of ordinary people, and there is nothing to blame, but Tao Li can abide by her heart, which is indeed more commendable.

Wang Guan analyzed, continued to drink tea, and soon after, heard the news that he had arrived on Langqi Island.

The big ship slowly anchored the shore, and Wang Guan also walked out, standing on the deck and looking at the island in front of him. The first thing you see is a landscape of wind-formed sand dunes and quaint woods, standing like a green barrier by the sea. The ground is covered with green wild grass, and dense quaint trees are criss-crossed.

Tranquil sandy beaches, jagged rocks, caves and reefs that have been bitten by the waves. Coupled with the scenery of seagulls playing in the sky and birds chasing each other, it makes people feel like returning to nature and returning to nature.

Of course, as a scenic island. Langqi Island also has its own positioning, which is committed to building an international tourism island. Even though it's not the peak season for tourists, you can see a lot of tourists on the island. However, tourism is booming. That doesn't mean there aren't poor families on the island.

After landing on the island, under the leadership of the Tao siblings, Wang Guan and Gao Zhuang slowly came to the Tao family. It is located in a relatively remote mountain village, close to the sea, in ancient times, you can rely on the sea to eat the sea, fishing for food and clothing is not a problem. The problem is that modern marine fisheries are unprecedentedly developed, and they are group-fished.

Small families and small households must not be able to fight large companies and enterprises, those who have the strength have gone to the deep sea to operate, and those who have no strength can only catch some small fish and shrimp on the nearby coast, which is not enough for oil money. So in the fierce competition, some small and medium-sized fishing boat owners have either gone bankrupt or changed careers when the situation is not good.

Tao Tao, the father of the Tao siblings, is one of the bankrupt bosses. Affected by this blow, the Tao family also fell from a fairly wealthy well-off life to a level of poverty struggle. It is said that it is a poor household, but it has not completely reached the standard, and it has not reached the point where the family cannot uncover the disaster. If you want to say that you are not poor, there is really no money left at home.

The poor home does not make people despair, nor does it make people see any hope, and they are very confused.

"Dad, we're back."

That was before, though. As for now, entering the village again, Tao Dou felt that his pace was very brisk, and there was a joy that could hardly be hidden. Especially when I walked to the door of my house and saw the dilapidated ancestral house, I found this dilapidated house very kind for the first time. It's broken well, the more it is broken, the better, how can it be pitiful if it is not broken.

Thinking in his heart, Tao Dou also called out more and more happily: "Dad, come out quickly, there are guests at home." ”

"What guest, debt collector?"

After half a ring, an older voice came from the dilapidated house, and then someone walked out slowly. He staggered, his hair was half white, his face was full of yellow wrinkles, and his body was full of the smell of dying.

"Dad, what are you talking nonsense?"

At the right time, Tao Dou was a little dissatisfied, and hurriedly signaled: "Dad, look at who this is?" ”

"Who?" The old man looked up slightly.

At this time, Gao Zhuang stood outside the door, carrying two large bags of gifts in his hand. What he brought with him on the boat were melons and fruits, health products, and some local products. After all, I often run boats and travel around the world, so I must have bought a lot of gifts.

It is these gifts that make the old man feel a little at ease. After all, if it is a debt collector, it will definitely not be kind enough to bring a gift. Now it is no longer the case of saluting first and then soldiering, but directly robbing ......

The old man's gaze swept over the gift, and then slowly moved up, his cloudy eyes were blank, and his gaze fell on Gao Zhuang's face, but he was at a loss, obviously he couldn't remember who Gao Zhuang was.

"Uncle Tao, you ...... How did you become like this? ”

At the same time, Gao Zhuang stepped forward lightly, also a little sad: "Uncle Tao, it's me, Xiao Gao." Don't you remember me, when I was in the Shanghai Fishery Company, you taught me how to drive a boat. ”

"Xiao Gao? Hucheng ......" Tao Tao was stunned, his eyes showed a look of reminiscence, but after thinking about it for a long time, he remembered Hucheng Fishery Company, but about the impression of Gaozhuang, he was a little confused.

"Brother Gao, don't mind."

At this time, Tao Dou hurriedly said: "A few years ago, my dad was drunk every day, and with his age, his memory is even worse. Not to mention the apprentice ten years ago, it's my son, he sometimes doesn't remember ......"

"Hmph."

Hearing this, Tao Tao must have been a little angry, but he didn't mean to argue, and he seemed to be a little acquiescing. After all, when he was in the Shanghai Fishery Company, he did bring a lot of apprentices. But after a long time, he really didn't remember these apprentices. Now an apprentice comes to visit, but he can't name him, which is indeed a little embarrassing.

At this moment, Tao Li saw her father's embarrassment, and immediately greeted: "Let's go in first." ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Gao, please come in." Tao Dou hurriedly let go of his hand: "Brother Wang, please ...... too"

Under Tao Dou's greeting, Wang Guan and Gao Zhuang also walked into the house. Unexpectedly, when you look at the house from the outside, it is indeed a little dilapidated, but the interior is very clean and tidy. It's just that the space is smaller and the furniture is less.

Walking in, Wang Guan found that the conditions of the Tao family were indeed not very good, especially in the hall, it was just a chair and a few short stools, and it was not easy to arrange seats.

And the so-called living room is actually a combination of kitchen and dining room, and living room. In the corner of the space, there are various stoves and tableware, and there is also a small round table, which is combined into a kitchen and dining room. In the other corner, a chair, a few small stools, and a small screen TV are placed in the living room.

Seeing this situation, Gao Zhuang couldn't help frowning, and his sympathy was overflowing.

It's good to sympathize, but I'm most afraid that you will be indifferent......

Tao Dou, who had been paying close attention to Gaozhuang, saw this, and his heart was almost happy, and then he hurriedly moved a chair and said courteously: "Brother Gao, you sit." The environment is simple, and you will be on it. ”

"Well, thank you." Gao Zhuang nodded, then stretched out his hand to support Tao Tao, and said with a smile: "Uncle Tao, you sit down and think slowly, don't worry, you can always remember." ”

For a moment, Tao Dou hated to slap himself, knowing that Gao Zhuang was his father's apprentice, he actually ignored this, and behaved so unfilial, wouldn't it leave a bad impression?

Thinking of this, Tao Dou hurriedly made up for it: "Dad, you and Brother Gao talk slowly, I'll make tea...... but after looking around, he asked helplessly: "Sister, where do you put the tea?" ”

This sentence fully shows that Tao Dou's family is not familiar with the situation, and it also shows that the reason why the house is so clean and tidy is that Tao Li cleaned it up. At the same time, without waiting for Tao Li to speak, Gao Zhuang directly found a box of fine tea leaves among the gifts and handed it over: "Use this." ”

Gao Zhuang is only stout on the surface, but his mind is very delicate, so he is afraid that Tao Li will say that there is no tea at home, which will be even more embarrassing. Of course, it is also to take care of Wang Guan's taste, so as not to get used to the coarse tea brewed.

This kind of thought, it is estimated that only Wang Guan and Tao Li, who are equally sensitive, noticed it, but Tao Dou didn't think so much, just opened the tea box with a big grin, and directly grabbed a handful of tea leaves and sprinkled them into the kettle to boil directly.

In this regard, Gao Zhuang did not mean to correct it, but turned back and greeted: "Uncle Tao, your health is fine." ”

“…… Not bad. ”

Tao Tao had a little more smile on his face, and the twilight aura on his body was also a little lighter. In the past few years, he has a better understanding of what is warm and cold in the world. He also knows what the conditions are at home now, and those who can come to visit in this situation can also know the sincerity of it.

Even if he didn't remember Gaozhuang, Tao Tao felt comfortable and naturally treated him warmly...... (To be continued......)
