At the southern end of the Yangtze River Delta, there is the largest archipelago in China, where there are many islands and reefs. Because of the rich fishery resources, many people living on the islands make a living from fishing. During the annual fishing moratorium, fishing boats return to Hong Kong and men go out to fish. Going home, this has become the most lively period on the island.
Xiuqiu Island is just one of the many islands. This island is small in size. There are less than 200 households living on the island. Because there is not much development of tourism resources, even though the outside world is already very developed. However, the local residents still maintain a slow pace of life.
All the men who went out to fish these days have returned, and the business of Mao's Tavern has become extremely prosperous.
This tavern is a time-honored tavern on the island, and the current owner is the seventh generation descendant of this hotel. For generations on the island, it can be said that they all grew up smelling the wine brewed by the Mao family. , the sauce is strong, the craftsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation, and the emphasis is on the authenticity of the materials. Many residents who have moved away from the island to live in more prosperous places will return to the island every once in a while to buy a few jars of wine.
In fact, if you move to another place, the business of this tavern will have better and longer-term development, but the people of the Mao family are nostalgic and used to this growing land. I just like to make wine, and then listen to the neighbors on the island bragging and farting. This kind of life is humane.
Perhaps one day, when all the people on this island move away, their tavern will consider developing elsewhere.
Because of such a nostalgic boss, people on the island also like to come to drink with him, bring two dishes of side dishes, a folding chair, and a few decks of playing cards, and spend half a day leisurely. up.
Before leaving, I weighed a few more wines and had another good night's sleep.
The people on the island cannot do without the wine of the Mao family, and the people of the Mao family are reluctant to part with this piece of land. Gradually, this tavern has been integrated into the culture of the island, and neither of them can do without the other.
"Jiang Liu, tell us about your time outside."
The central figure in today's tavern is the son of the Jiang family who just came back from the big city not long ago, the bragging bull king. Although everyone knows that he is not a man of words, they still like to coax him and listen to him say things that make people laugh. If you want to laugh out loud from the bottom of your heart.
"That's right, last time you said that you had dinner with Ma Yun and discussed future investment projects. How are you doing now? Has your investment project produced any results?"
Several dark-skinned men were shirtless, holding a large bowl in their hands, which was filled with yellow wine. From time to time, they picked up a few peanuts from the small plate in front of them, and ate the wine happily.
And the target who was besieged by them was obviously a little drunk, his eyes were lax, and his speech was a little unclear.
It was a man in his early thirties, wearing a clean white shirt, with neatly combed hair. Compared with these black and strong men who have been exposed to the wind and sun in the sea all year round, he looked too fair and weak. And the surrounding environment is also a bit out of tune.
"Hey, it's yellow, but well, business is like that, so there's no such thing as smooth sailing, hiccup¡ª"
He hiccupped for a long time, then patted his chest, and took another sip of wine: "I'm tired of making money now, as you all know, I'm rich and have a lot Money, but what is the use of having so much money, money is just a number to me, and no matter how hard I spend it, it will not have much impact on this number."
"Pfft¡ª¡ª"
The people around finally couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing.
Listen to this kid's nonsense, if he is really rich, his old lady can still live in the small building built by his father more than ten years ago. Now, who has a little money, who didn't tear down the old house and rebuild it? Not to mention the really rich people, they would never stay on this island at all, but moved to a more developed city early for the sake of their children's education.
Their island is really too small, and with more and more people moving out these years, even the only elementary school on the island can hardly continue to open. As for those children who are in junior high school, they have to go to the nearby I live in school on Big Island, and I take the boat home every Friday night, and I have to go back to school on Sunday night.
Such a life is too inconvenient, which is why more and more people are moving away.
Jiang Liu also has a son who is now studying on Daishan Island, the largest island in their area. This child who has no mother since childhood is very sensible. He will come back every week to help his grandparents take care of the crops in the field. If he is really as rich as he said, why not help solve his son's affairs first.
So for JiangEveryone listened to what he said as a joke and didn't take it very seriously.
"Jiang Liu, you said that you have earned so much money that you can't spend it all. If you don't want to share some with the brothers, we will help you spend it."
A man with a short cut and a short stature held back his laughter and continued to tease Jiang Liu, wanting him to tell more jokes for everyone to hear.
"You have hands and feet, where do you need my money? I have already thought about it. I will use the money to do more meaningful things, such as building Hope Primary School, such as helping those elderly who are seriously ill but can't afford medical care. Kid hiccup, my money is of great use."
Although this man is drunk, his basic consciousness is still there. He is a pauper. Where can he get the money for others to spend? It¡¯s just that he can¡¯t tell the truth. He enjoys the adoring (fog) eyes when everyone looks at him. , enjoying the envious (fog) look of others asking him about life in a big city.
He is a waste, and bragging can bring him unprecedented self-esteem and pride.
Anyway, bragging is not taxed, because no one will expose every bragging, and men enjoy this process more and more.
"Tell me about you, you already have money to help other people's children, why don't you think about your son Chongde, he is about to go to high school, and in the blink of an eye, it's time to marry a wife, you don't plan to give Your son prepared a wedding house in advance, or did you prepare it long ago and don't plan to tell us?"
The people around him took him as a joke, but the protagonist of the joke didn't feel it, but explained it very seriously.
"I, Jiang Liu, started from nothing. If I can do it, then my son must be able to do it too. Besides, aren't there enough reports in the news now? Look at those who drive luxury cars and kill people, team up to bully Aren¡¯t the little girls of other families all rich second generations that their parents didn¡¯t teach well? My Jiangliu¡¯s son has to endure a difficult living environment since he was a child, and hone his tenacious willpower, so that he can inherit my business empire in the future. "
This explanation is perfect, anyway, the man feels that there is nothing wrong with his remarks.
"Puchichi¡ª¡ª"
"Heck¡ªthe business empire, hahaha¡ª¡ª"
Jiang Liu's expression was too calm, and everyone was amused by his serious nonsense attitude.
Don't tell me, Jiang Liu is so thick-skinned that he might become a comedian and become a hit. Perhaps by then, he will really have more money than he can spend.
"Stop talking, Chongde should go home today, I have to go back."
The man who was ridiculed and didn't know it followed with a hey smile, then hiccupped, took out ten yuan and put it on the table of the wine shop. This is his money for today's wine.
After all, he staggered and walked towards home.
After he left, someone in the tavern imitated what he said just now, and there were bursts of laughter again, which he didn't know¡ª¡ª
"How much wine did you drink again? If Chongde sees it, he will be angry with you again. Tell me about you. I haven't seen anyone for three or two months. I come back occasionally and bicker with my son. I will wait for you in the future." I'm gone, isn't this son the only one you can rely on?"
"That child Chongde is also pitiful. He has no mother since he was a child, and he has an unreliable father like you. Who can he rely on in the future? Don't talk about you having a lot of money. How much money do you have in your pocket? I don't know about your mother, you were not very capable when you were young, and you couldn't make a lot of money."
"Hey, your dad and I are both down-to-earth people. The Chongde we taught is also a well-behaved and sensible boy. How did you give birth to such an unreliable kid?"
Seeing her son coming back, smelling of alcohol, Cai Shufen felt distressed and angry at the same time, and chatted on the phone.
But in the end, she looked at her bewildered son, and finally sighed helplessly: "Forget it, you'd better go wash your face and rinse your mouth first, and I'll make you a bowl of tea to sober up."
It's not like his son is like this every day. Cai Shufen can't control this son, so he can only let it go. He just hopes that when his grandson Chongde comes back, his alcohol smell will almost dissipate.
"Um."
The drowsy man nodded and staggered towards the bathroom. Relying on the residual consciousness of his body, he turned on the faucet, soaked the towel in it, and put the cold towel directly on his face without drying it completely.
With a jolt, the man in the mirror's cloudy eyes became crystal clear.
Jiang Liu glanced at the environment he was in, and at the towel in his hand, then closed his eyes to absorb the memories left by his original body.
"Depend on¡ª¡ª"
