The last rays of sunset faded from the sky, and night fell when the street lights first lit up. Xu Haibao, who was visiting Liu's house, also received a call from Tie Zhongyi at the right time and told him where to eat tonight.

Knowing that Xu Haibao happened to be in the Liu family, Tie Zhongyi didn't feel any surprises. After chatting with Liu Chenglin for a few words, the three of them ended the call. And Liu Chenglin also politely rejected Tie Zhongyi's proposal to invite his wife and daughter to dine together.

When she was about to go out, Liu Chenglin's daughter Liu Yuemeng was very reluctant to say, "Uncle Xu, will you come to my house in the future?"

Xu Haibao, who heard this, also felt that he was quite in love with this little girl, and said with a smile: "Yes! Xiaomeng is so cute, I will definitely come to play with you often in the future." Sister-in-law, does Xiaomeng have a class tomorrow?"

Facing Xu Haibao's inquiry, Liu Chenglin's wife Du Yu smiled and said: "She has a class tomorrow! It's okay, this girl seems to be really in love with you." There were guests at home before, and I never saw her so reluctant. ”

"That means I'm likable! Sister-in-law, if you and the company commander can rest assured, I'll just have to go shopping with my sister tomorrow night. When the time comes, I will come over to pick up Xiaomeng and take her to the supermarket by the way. ”

"It's too much trouble!"

Seeing Xiaomeng like this, I always think of what my sister looked like when she was a child. Xiaomeng, uncle will pick you up tomorrow night to play in the supermarket, okay? Take you to the Trojan horse, okay?"

"Okay, but will Mom go?"

Despite her young age, the little girl seemed to be very sensible. For such a fun thing as shopping, she also can't refuse. It's just that she knows a little bit that if she wants to go out to play, she must get the consent of adults.

Seeing this scene, Liu Chenglin, who rarely had time to go out with his daughter, suddenly said, "Baby, Dad will go with you, okay?"

"Okay, Uncle Xu, can I really sit on the Trojan Horse?"

"Of course you can! Tomorrow when Xiaomeng gets out of class, my uncle will pick you up, okay?"

"Okay, then let's pull Gougou!"

How much can you guess the little girl, Xu Haibao, who has rarely been to the amusement park since she was a child, really thinks that the little girl is very cute, and she loves it from the bottom of her heart. For him now, sometimes he doesn't think too much, and he is happy and happy.

While there is still time in the provincial capital, to deepen the relationship with this little girl, Xu Haibao also feels very good. Coupled with his relationship with Liu Chenglin, it doesn't matter much if he spoils this little girl.

After the big hand hook and the small hand hook, the little girl looked very happy and expectant. Seeing this scene, Liu Chenglin and Du Yu also felt a little sad. After all, it's in every child's nature to love to play.

But they are usually busy, one in the army and the other in school. It's true that I rarely have time, and like other parents, I take my children around. Occasionally, I go out and play, mostly in the children's section of the supermarket.

Now Xu Haibao offered to take his daughter out to play, although he felt embarrassed, he didn't want to disappoint his daughter. At least from Xu Haibao's attitude and eyes, they can feel Xu Haibao's love for his daughter.

On the way to the dining place after leaving Liu's house, Liu Chenglin said in a bitter tone: "Haibao, are you a bit too derelict in your duty to say that I am a father? Speaking of which, the number of times I take Xiaomeng out to play is really pitiful!"

"Company commander, in the past, the conditions were limited, you had responsibilities, and if you wanted to accompany your family, I was afraid that you would not have time. However, if the company commander really feels ashamed of his family, he can spend more time with them in the future. Sister-in-law and Xiaomeng, they will understand you!"

Listening to Xu Haibao's comfort, Liu Chenglin suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Really, your kid is younger than me, and he doesn't even have a girlfriend." But listening to what you said, I always feel that you are older than me!"

At least I envy the company commander, who has such a considerate wife and such a lovely daughter. However, the previous incident did give me a great feeling. ”

Knowing that his current behavior is somewhat different from that of his earlier time in the army, Xu Haibao also used the previous accident as an excuse. After all, that time, he did go around in a circle at the Ghost Gate!

Regarding Xu Haibao's explanation, Liu Chenglin also said with a little worry: "What happened last time, didn't leave you any psychological shadows, right? Speaking of which, when you were discharged from the hospital, your emotions were indeed a little wrong!"

When I woke up, I was a little scared and a little glad. But more than that, I learned that the base let me leave the army. Hearing the news, it was indeed a bit of a blow at the time. Now that I think about it, what the base did was also for my future.

After I came back from the army, I was very resistant to going to the sea for a while. After returning to my hometown fishing village for a while, my mood was much more relaxed. What's even more surprising is that my deep diving ability has improved compared to when I was in the army!"

Hearing this, Liu Chenglin was also very happy and said, "Do you really dare to dive?"

"Company commander, I grew up in a fishing village, and the sea is my second hometown. Although I haven't measured it specifically, I know that my freediving skills have improved even more than when I was in the army. ”

"Okay, I'm glad for you to come out of the shadows and get a new life. Your family doesn't know about this, does it?"

"If they know about it, they will definitely be worried. I didn't say anything about it!"

Regarding his almost sacrifice in the army, Xu Haibao did not tell his family. Although Chen Xingcheng, who retired from the army together, also knew that Xu Haibao had been in the hospital for a period of time, he didn't know that Xu Haibao almost hung up at that time.

Sitting in a taxi, Liu Chenglin also said in a timely manner: "Then do you think about it, do you want to do something next year?"

"I haven't thought about it yet! However, I shouldn't be in the factory! As for what to do, I'll see after the New Year!"

"With your ability in the army, it's okay to be a crew member. It's just that the work of the crew is very hard, and you have to be away from home a lot, which is not suitable for you. Personally, I suggest that you find some business!"

Anyway, I'm on my own, and I don't have a problem with being self-sufficient. ”

After chatting all the way, we quickly arrived at a private leisure farm not far from the West Lake in two days. Seeing a lot of cars parked outside the farm, Xu Haibao also knew that this seemingly ordinary farm, the diners who came should not be ordinary.

As Xu Haibao expected, as soon as they got out of the taxi, the two of them just walked into the door of the farm. The waiter standing in front of the farm also said with a smile: "Two gentlemen, do you have an appointment?"

"Do I still need to make a reservation to eat with you?"

"This gentleman, I'm very sorry. We are a private farm, if it is not for the members who have not made an appointment, we will not pick up customers for the time being, please understand!"

"Has the iron shopkeeper of Yabao Pavilion arrived? We are all his guests, my surname is Xu, and his surname is Liu!"

As the capital of the south of the Yangtze River, there are naturally many dignitaries and nobles living here. This kind of private farm, which is not open to the public, operates some projects and dishes, but I am afraid that it is really not suitable for too many ordinary people to know.

Fortunately, Xu Haibao knows that such a private farm will not be able to open for two years. When the five generations who came to power soon after came to power, many of these restaurants that could not see the light of day would become the focus of the discipline inspection and supervision of the investigation.

It's just that this kind of thing, for Xu Haibao, really doesn't have much to do with it. After all, he didn't plan to take the road of politics, nor did he want to make friends with any dignitaries. As for the best food, Xu Haibao asked himself that he had absolutely no others.

Hearing Xu Haibao say this, the waiter immediately said with a smile: "Good evening for the two of you, since you are the guests invited by Mr. Tie, please come with me! Mr. Tie is in the Plum Blossom Hall, please come here!"

Liu Chenglin, who followed the waiter into the farm, was also surprised: "I have lived in Hangzhou for so many years, and I really don't know how to eat and so many rules." It seems that this farm is not simple!"

"Company commander, how many years have you been in the army? The current society is very different from before. Ordinary people simply cannot afford such farms. Most importantly, this place will not be disturbed to eat. ”

Xu Haibao didn't say some things, but he believed that Liu Chenglin could understand the meaning. The waiter in charge of leading the way didn't explain much, and kept smiling and led the two to an antique octagonal wooden pavilion.

Looking at the sign hanging on the wooden pavilion, Xu Haibao knew that this was also similar to the hotel's private room. It's just that compared with the hotel crowds, this low-key but luxurious farm has also become a new place for many wealthy people to feast and dine.

Even if the consumption in this kind of place is not low, for many rich people, they should not only eat deliciously, but also make them feel comfortable. With such a market demand, it is natural that there will be such private farms.

This kind of low-key and luxurious leisure farm may really be the first time for Liu Chenglin, who has just returned to the local area. But for Xu Haibao, he has been to a private restaurant that is more upscale and has more rules than this leisure farm.

In the final analysis, this kind of farm, which seems to be not open to ordinary people, will make some people with a strong sense of self-superiority feel that eating in this kind of place will be a level higher than ordinary people. But in fact, it's nothing more than spending money to buy face!
