Chapter 372: Self-Punishment
When the car arrived at Qingshui Bay, Li Xin and Lin Desheng had been waiting on the bluestone bridge for a long time.
Seeing Lin Xi get out of the car, Lin Desheng put away the bamboo whip he used as a cigarette to suck and looked at Lin Xi timidly.
Lin Xi walked up to his old father and said in a low voice, "Go home for dinner." ”
Lin Desheng followed closely behind Lin Xi with his back bent, and also asked Lin Xi in a low voice: "You finally came back, do you know how worried your family is?" ”
"You're not worried about me, are you? Are you worried that you won't be able to sit still in your place? Lin Xi responded to his old father in a low voice.
"You, you're talking to me like that?" Lin Desheng was a little angry.
"As soon as the wind blows, you are scared to death, and what are you doing without in the pit? Take some courage, quit all, and do your work as a craftsman with peace of mind. Lin Xi walked straight forward.
Li Xin wanted to come up and talk to Lin Xi, but when he saw Lin Desheng whispering to Lin Xi, the faces of the father and daughter were ugly, so they stayed behind and talked to Yu Qing.
When I walked into the house, I was greeted by the smell of food.
"Yo, is grandpa in charge of the spoon today?" Lin Xi asked with a smile.
"I heard that everyone came back for lunch, and your grandfather started preparing it in the middle of the morning." Grandma Lin Xi brought a plate of vegetables out of the kitchen.
"You and your mom are leaving work so early, huh?" Lin Xi helped Yu Shuigen and his wife to sit down at the dining table.
"I haven't started work for two or three days, and my mind is scattered." Lin Xi's mother responded to Lin Xi while setting the dishes and chopsticks.
"It's okay to go for a few days, otherwise you don't know what kind of money you are earning? What is the use of making money? Sooner or later, the whole village will be scattered. After Lin Xi finished speaking, he went to the kitchen sink to wash his hands.
Li Xin and Yu Qing glanced at each other and sat down at the table silently.
Huang Fan and Meng Dayun went to the room on the third floor to put their luggage first, and when they came down, they saw that Lin Xi was still in the kitchen, so they sat down first.
"Why don't you move your chopsticks? Eat quickly. Grandma Linxi greeted everyone.
Everyone's eyes looked at the kitchen, and none of them held chopsticks.
"Here, here, the last big dish, stewed duck with bamboo shoots." Lin Xi brought a large basin to the table.
"I haven't cooked for a long time, and I have to put in a little bit if I can't get into my mouth, give my old face a face, hehe." Grandpa Lin Xi sat down.
"Come, everyone drink some sweet potato sake to refresh themselves, and everyone has big things to do in the afternoon, regardless of whether they are old or young." Lin Xi poured wine for everyone.
"Hey, why don't you come and eat together? Desheng, you give him a call. Grandpa Lin Xi raised the wine cup and took a sip.
"Grandpa, no, Brother Dazhi won't care about eating." Lin Xi sat down and picked up his chopsticks.
"What is he busy with? Didn't I just pull you back? Grandpa Lin Xi sandwiched the thighs of the two ducks into the bowls of Yu Shuigen's old couple.
"We're sounding the gong for our big battle in the afternoon." Lin Xi raised the wine cup to salute Yu Shuigen and the old man.
"Creek, thank you, thank you. If you want me to do something big and fight a big battle, I will definitely rush to the front. Yu Shuigen stood up and smiled vigorously at Lin Xi with the wine cup in his hand.
"Grandpa Yu, you are treating me as an outsider, it seems that I have to punish myself three times." Lin Xi didn't wait for Yu Shuigen to respond, and drank three sweet potato sake in succession.
"Haha, it seems that my Xiaoxi Ningzhou is going back to Qingshuiwan to do big things after doing big things, okay, I'll do three things for my granddaughter." Grandpa Lin Xi stood up, grabbed the wine jug, and also poured himself a drink, and drank three sweet potato sake in succession.
"It seems that my grandfather is the only one who doesn't treat me as an outsider, and everyone else here treats me as an outsider, do I have to punish myself three more times?" Lin Xi grabbed the flask.
"I'll punish myself!" Huang Fan stood up and snatched the flask from Lin Xi's hand.
"What's wrong with you? Do you think I'm holding a small sake pot for sweet potato sake? Come, you've got enough to drink at noon today. Grandma Lin Xi took out a large jar of sweet potato sake from the storage room to the restaurant.
"It seems that grandma doesn't treat me as an outsider, Sister Fan, you said it yourself, punish yourself for eight lamps." Lin Xi poured wine for Huang Fan.
"A gentleman is hard to chase after a horse, do it!" Huang Fan raised the wine cup and tilted his neck, a cup of sweet potato sake went down to his stomach, and after eight consecutive cups, he slapped the wine cup on the dining table.
"Hehe, it's not fun to even do eight lamps? It seems that I have to say how I became the acting chairman and acting president of the board of directors of the group, so that everyone will not treat me as an outsider, and it will be enjoyable! Lin Xi drank another one.
"Wait, wait, what did you say, creek? Know what is long? What else is being judged? I don't understand. Grandpa Lin Xi's eyes widened.
"Grandpa, Lin Xi, she is now the acting chairman and acting president of the board of directors of NB Group." Meng Dayun explained to Grandpa Lin Xi.
"NB Group? Isn't that Zhuang Ran's old boy's group? No, no, Xiaoxi definitely can't be the NB Group's something. I asked Xiao Yan a long time ago, how to write these two words NB? After Xiao Yan wrote it to me, I said that this group will collapse sooner or later, why? Isn't this N us reading 'cow'? Isn't it awesome to be connected to the stupid 'B' of 'B'? It's okay for you to blow it, but it's definitely not okay to use it for the group. Grandpa Lin Xi dipped his chopsticks in some wine and shouted loudly while writing the letters "N" and "B" on the dining table.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will be the chairman and president of the board of directors of Clearwater Bay Group next." Lin Xi couldn't help laughing and said to his grandfather seriously.
"Chairman and President of the Board of Directors of Clearwater Bay Group? Good, good, good, grandpa respects the chairman and president. Grandpa Lin Xi raised the wine cup in front of Lin Xi.
"Dad, what are you coaxing? Still think Clear Water Bay isn't messy enough? Lin Desheng, who had been silent, finally spoke.
"Am I heckling? I've long thought of coaxing you, coaxing you to be a family. Why is Clear Water Bay chaotic? Isn't it just that you're too much of a family member? I just don't understand, why is this Brother Su so smart that he is confused for a while? I just take a fancy to you, and the eyes of the people above are too bright, so what kind of branch secretary did you really appoint? Phew, it's not that fire and immortality, but it's a pity that they are too stupid to get you down. Grandpa Lin Xi scolded his son.
"Grandpa, the eyes of the people above are bright now, didn't they send Secretary Li to our Clear Water Bay as the first SJ? I believe that under the leadership of Li SJ, our Clear Water Bay will truly become a green Clear Water Bay, and the villagers will be able to truly get rich together. Lin Xi stopped his grandfather from scolding his father in time.
"Lin Xi, I need the strong support of you, the chairman and president." Li Xin stood up and raised the wine cup.
"Okay, do a good job for mutual support!" Lin Xi picked up the wine cup and touched the wine cup in Li Xin's hand and drank it all.
"Hey, hey, sister sweet potato in the past, and now chairman and president, can you first reveal what is going on with you, the chairman and president?" Huang Fan couldn't bear it.
"Dear Sister Fan, I will still be Sister Sweet Potato in the future, and even more so your Sister Xiaoxi, I got this chairman and president from Zhuang Ran, since I have already come here, then I will enjoy it first, and I will return it to him after Brother Yan's health improves." Lin Xi responded to Huang Fan with a smile.
"Where is Zhuang Ran? Give it back to him when he is in good health? What do you mean? Huang Fan was puzzled.
"Fanfan, didn't I say that? Lin Xi, the chairman and president, may have solemnly promised her. Lin Xi, was it when Zhuang Ran was negotiating conditions with you in the hospital, you proposed to be the chairman and president of his group? And then he really promised you, and wrote it down in black and white? Meng Dayun asked Lin Xi after pulling Huang Fan to sit down.
"That's right, it's worthy of Lawyer Meng." Lin Xi raised the wine cup to Meng Dayun.
