"Yep¡¡"
At this time, after hearing Wang Guan's reminder, Gao Zhuang also reacted and quickly stood up and greeted: "Come, you guys sit down, eat first, and I will talk to you slowly."
"sister¡¡"
Tao Dou was tempted. Seeing the Buddha in the jar jumping over the wall and smelling the familiar aroma, he was already salivating. He wanted to sit down and taste the delicious food again immediately, but he was also a little afraid of Tao Li's majesty, so he seemed very hesitant.
"You're welcome, sit down quickly."
Seeing this, Gao Zhuang simply walked over, pulled Tao Dou over and pressed him down, then turned around and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I'm still your father's apprentice, so it's not wrong for you to call me big brother."
While speaking, Gao Zhuang turned to look at Boss Ding again, with a smile on his face: "Boss Ding, children are not sensible. You adults have a lot, so don't get to know him. Since dragon paintings are other people's things, , now it is a matter of course for people to redeem it. If you think there is anything wrong, then go back and find a time and we can communicate again. "
"As for now, return the things to them first and let them take them back."
Gao Zhuang¡¯s words seemed amiable, but they were full of undoubted meaning. Coupled with his tall and burly figure, they were somewhat intimidating.
"My dear guest, you are joking."
Boss Ding is a man of many things, and he naturally knows how to adapt to the situation. He made a decision in an instant, and immediately smiled and said: "It was originally a mortgage, but now it has been redeemed, there is no reason not to agree. And it is also my fault that I am a little careless and greedy for small things. That's good. If you deserve punishment, I'll punish myself with three more cups"
Boss Ding simply poured wine and raised a glass to apologize. After drinking five drinks in a row, he wiped his lower lips and withdrew with a smile. At the same time, I feel a little lucky in my heart. Fortunately, I didn't do too much at the time, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with now. The main reason was that Gao Zhuang looked too much like some of the big brothers in the club, which inevitably made him a little frightened.
No matter what, the redemption of the picture came, and Tao Li felt relieved. Naturally, I started to inquire about the details of Gaozhuang. Until now, she still hasn't figured out what kind of apprentice is the so-called apprentice?
"The apprentice who sails a boat and fishes."
Gao Zhuang smiled and said: "Ten years ago, didn't you live in Shanghai? Uncle Tao was working in a fishing company at that time, and I just joined the job at that time. It was Uncle Tao who taught me how to sail and fish. I also visited you at that time. I went home a few times. Your siblings were still studying at that time. Later, when Uncle Tao had saved enough, he said he wanted to go back and become his own boss, and he was ready to give me a hand."
"But at that time, my mother was ill and my sister was still young, so I had to decline Uncle Tao's kindness."
While speaking. Gao Zhuang also sighed: "Time flies so fast. It has been ten years in the blink of an eye. I wonder how Uncle Tao is doing now?"
"¡¡Okay."
Although I still don¡¯t remember Gaozhuang, I heard him describe the situation of his family without any mistakes. Tao Li naturally no longer doubted it, and said with a bright smile: "The body is still strong"
"What's tough?"
At this time, Tao Dou said angrily: "The business failed, the company collapsed. I am depressed. If it were not for the support of my sister, this family would have collapsed long ago. If I had known that this would happen, I should not be my own boss and continue to work in the company." How good is the job in Shanghai? If I had stayed there, I would have a Shanghai household registration by now."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'll eat your food!" Tao Li scolded, very dissatisfied with Tao Dou's casual disclosure of the family situation.
"Sister, Brother Gao is Dad's apprentice, and he is not an outsider. What if he knows?" Tao Dou defended, and then grinned: "Brother Gao, you think so."
This kid is a bit of a scoundrel, but he also has some eyesight. He can see that Gaozhuang seems to be doing well now, so he quickly climbs up and builds connections.
"Yes." Gao Zhuang nodded and asked with concern: "Is Uncle Tao really okay?"
"I can't say that I have anything, and I can't say that I am fine." Tao Dou said casually: "I drank to relieve my sorrow for several years, and most of my body collapsed. In the past two years, I have picked myself up again. I usually help people mend fishing nets, dry fish, etc. I¡¯ve done some things, and I¡¯ve barely regained some of my strength.¡±
"oh."
Gao Zhuang frowned slightly: "Where do you live? When I have time later, I will go over and visit."
"The place is not close." Tao Dou Meimei took a bite and said directly: "Over the Mawei Langqi side, it was originally in Fuzhou City, but later I ran out of money, so I had to move back to the dilapidated ancestral home"
"Douzi, if you don't say a few words, you will die."
Tao Li is really aliveNow, she understood what her brother was thinking, and she made her family look pitiful. She just wanted to win Gaozhuang's sympathy and help them. But Tao Li's self-esteem did not allow her to do this, so she was naturally extremely dissatisfied.
"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it anymore." Tao Dou followed the good advice, remained silent, and continued to enjoy the delicious dishes. Anyway, what needs to be said has been said. If Gao Zhuang is really serious, he knows what to do.
"Then we'll talk about it later"
Gao Zhuang smiled. It was impossible to always take care of the Tao siblings and ignore Wang Guan and Expert Zhu. After understanding some of the situation, he immediately raised his glass and said: "Brother Wang, Expert Zhu, let's go too."
"I'm coming too."
Tao Dou was of a familiar nature and was ready to pour wine and raise a glass to join in the fun, but was stopped by Tao Li. After all, Tao Li is a few years older and has rich social experience, so she naturally understands that the identities of Wang Guan and Expert Zhu are not simple.
For the sake of Gao Zhuang's affection, it is a great honor to allow the two of them to sit at the same table. If Tao Dou doesn't know the rules, it will not only be embarrassing for them, but also Gao Zhuang may not be able to step down later.
Thinking of this, Tao Li definitely couldn't let her brother act presumptuous, so she quietly warned him.
After receiving the hint, Tao Dou shrank his head in fear and put down the cup obediently. It's not enough to disobey him. If he doesn't obey now, he will get into trouble later and no one will help him clean up the mess.
Wang Guan and others saw such a small gesture, and their evaluation of Tao Li was a little higher. To be a human being, you should know how to measure. If you don't know how to measure, that's not called personality, but stupidity.
After drinking a glass of wine, the atmosphere was somewhat harmonious. Expert Zhu took advantage of the situation and smiled and said: "Xiao Gao. Meeting an old friend in a foreign country is one of the four great joys in life. You have to have a drink with the Tao family brothers."
"Okay, Brother Tao, let's have a drink" Gao Zhuang nodded readily.
Hearing this, Tao Dou was naturally overjoyed. Knowing that Tao Li had no reason to refuse, he immediately took the opportunity to pour wine for everyone, and then raised their glasses to express their respect. From skilled movements. You know he has a long drinking history.
In the midst of the banquet, the banquet was gradually coming to an end. Gao Zhuang made an excuse and went out to settle the bill before returning to the box to drink tea and chat with everyone.
After a while, Expert Zhu also found an excuse to go out. He came back soon, and then complained: "Xiao Gao, you promised that I would treat you today, why are you so anxious to pay the bill?"
"It's easy, it's just easy." Gao Zhuang said with a smile: "Let's talk next time, there will definitely be a chance that it will be your turn."
"Okay, then it's settled."
While speaking. Today¡¯s lunch party is finally over. Although there were a few hiccups, it was generally a complete success. At this time, Boss Ding, who had disappeared early, appeared again. As if nothing had happened, I sent a few people away with warm gifts and hoped that everyone would continue to come next time.
Just after leaving the door, Expert Zhu also knew that Wang Guan and others had something to do. He also said goodbye very wisely. At this time, Gao Zhuang looked at the Tao siblings. He said, "Are you going home now? I'll take you back."
"Okay, okay." Tao Dou nodded quickly, with an excited expression on his face. Tao Li was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, she had no intention of objecting, so she acquiesced.
Seeing this situation, Gao Zhuang smiled, turned around and said, "Brother Wang, you"
"Let's go and have a look." Wang Guan smiled warmly and said, "There's nothing to do anyway. It would be good to take the opportunity to walk around and see the customs here."
"You should definitely see it." Tao Dou said in a show-off manner: "We, Langqi, are known as the Pearl of the Minjiang River Estuary. We are the fourth largest island in Fujian Province. Our natural conditions are very superior, and it is a good place for tourism and leisure. The island is home to a diverse collection of people and places of interest, with countless places of interest"
Tao Dou talked eloquently and endlessly: "What about white clouds watching the sun, clouds and dragons tidal sounds, two turtles holding the mouth, five tigers guarding the gate"
"That's it, then I should go and have a look."
While speaking, Wang Guan waved for someone to drive over. When the luxurious car slowly approached, Tao Dou couldn't speak any more. He stared at the car with a look of great fascination.
There are definitely many differences between a good car and an ordinary car, and you can tell it from the appearance. The perfect curves are like a glass mirror, and the metal shell can reflect the sunlight back, exuding a luxurious atmosphere everywhere.
Tao Dou has seen many vehicles like this, but he can only watch them from a distance and not play with them. This is the first time for him to have such a close encounter. So sometimes, he envied the valet parking guys in big hotels, who could at least have a good time. Unexpectedly, it seems that today I can get my wish. For a moment, Tao Dou was a little excited.??: "Brother, does this car belong to you?"
"no!"
At the same time, Wang Guan smiled and shook his head: "Other people's are just for lending to me temporarily."
"That's it." Tao Dou's disappointment was palpable.
After explaining, Wang Guan greeted a few people to get on the bus, and then motioned to the driver to return to the dock. On the way, Tao Dou looked like a child with ADHD, rummaging around in the car, but Tao Li couldn't stand it any longer, so she slapped him directly, making him angry and afraid to speak, so he had to sit still and watch the car come. When we arrived at the pier, we reluctantly got off the bus.
At this time, seeing Wang Guan and Gao Zhuang walking to the side, Tao Li quickly reminded: "The ferry is not over there"
¡°My boat is nearby, no need to take the ferry.¡± Gao Zhuang turned around and explained.
Tao Li suddenly understood, nodded gently, and said nothing more. After a while, she followed Gao Zhuang to the place where the boat was parked. Her eyes suddenly opened wide and she was a little unbelievable.
"Brother, is this your boat?"
At this time, Tao Dou¡¯s reaction was similar. He was dumbfounded, dumbfounded, and then burst into ecstasy
