ps: Today¡¯s monthly ticket, alas, can only be described as miserable. If you have a vote, please support it. Thank you.
It¡¯s no wonder that the Tao siblings were so shocked. The main reason was that Gao Zhuang said just now that his boat was nearby. The two of them naturally thought that the so-called boat was a small sailboat or something like that. However, after arriving at the place, the two discovered that there were no small sailboats at all, only one big ship.
At the beginning, the two of them did not realize that this big ship was the destination, and they planned to look for a small sailboat next to the big ship. However, as soon as Gao Zhuang said hello, someone put down the gangway for them to go up. Only then did the two of them realize the truth of the matter. For a moment, it was natural that there was a feeling that the three views were subverted.
Of course, Tao Dou is younger and has a faster receptive ability. He woke up in an instant and grabbed Gao Zhuang's thick arm, feeling like he was hugging his thigh: "Brother, is this ship really yours?"
"hehe¡¡"
Gao Zhuang smiled, and his lack of answer was regarded as acquiescence, and then he greeted: "Everyone, come up."
"Six sons, prepare to sail, target Langqi Island!"
After stepping onto the deck, Gao Zhuang shouted, which directly proved his status as the captain of the ship. After a while, a group of sailors did not ask Gao Zhuang why he went to Langqi Island, but they all got busy, weighing anchor and sailing the ship in an orderly manner.
Only a few minutes later, everyone felt the big ship slowly leaving the dock and heading towards Langqi Island. At the same time, Gao Zhuang also invited everyone into the cabin to take a rest and served tea.
At the right time, Wang Guan drank tea leisurely and contentedly, but Tao Dou was no longer so indifferent. His eyes were full of excitement, as if he had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start. Very unstable.
This feeling is like the next door neighbor¡¯s son suddenly becoming a rich man. As a neighbor with a good relationship, it is inevitable that I hope to get help from a wealthy person to get out of my own family's predicament, but I know that this may be an unreasonable wish. We are just neighbors. If someone gets rich, what does it have to do with you?
It¡¯s just such worry about gains and losses that naturally makes Tao Dou very entangled and hesitant
In contrast, after Tao Li was surprised. It seems calmer. Even if you don't have too much enthusiasm, you won't be deliberately cold. If you treat someone in a normal way, it will make people look down on you. Tao Dou's psychology is normal for most ordinary people, and there is nothing to blame. On the contrary, Tao Li's ability to stick to her heart is indeed more worthy of praise.
Wang Guan analyzed it and continued drinking tea. Soon after, he heard the news that he had arrived at Langqi Island.
The big ship slowly docked, 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-shaped sand dunes and ancient woods, standing like a green barrier on the seaside. The ground is covered with green wild grasses, and densely packed ancient trees are criss-crossing the sky.
Quiet beaches, rugged rocks, caves and sea rocks riddled with holes by waves. Coupled with the scenery of seagulls playing in the sky and birds chasing each other, people have the feeling of returning to nature and returning to nature.
Of course, as an island with beautiful scenery. Langqi Island also has its own positioning, which is to build an international tourist island. Even though it¡¯s not the peak travel season. But you can see many tourists on the island. However, the prosperity of tourism does not mean that there are no poor families on the island.
After landing on the island, Wang Guan and Gao Zhuang slowly arrived at the Tao family under the leadership of the Tao siblings. It is located in a relatively remote mountain village, close to the sea. In ancient times, you could eat from the sea and fish to make ends meet. The problem is that modern marine fisheries are unprecedentedly developed, and they are fished in groups.
Xiaojia and small households must not be able to fight for large companies. Those who have strength ran to deep -sea work. Those who have no strength can only fish some small fish and shrimp on the nearby coast. Therefore, in the fierce competition, some small and medium-sized fishing boat owners either went bankrupt or changed careers when the situation turned bad.
Tao Tao, the father of the Tao siblings, is one of the bankrupt bosses. Suffering this blow, the Tao family suddenly fell from a relatively prosperous and well-off life to the level of struggling on the poverty line. It is said that they are poor households, but they have not completely reached the standard, and they have not yet reached the point where the family can't solve the problem. To say that they are not poor, the family does not have much money left.
A poor family neither makes people despair, nor does it make people see little hope, making them very confused.
"Dad, we are back."
But, that was in the past. As for now, after entering the village again, Tao Dou felt that his steps were very brisk, and he felt an almost unconcealable joy. Especially when I walked to the door of my house and saw the dilapidated ancestral house, I realized for the first time that this dilapidated house was very friendly. If it is broken well, the more broken it is, the better. How can it look good if it is not broken?My family is pitiful.
Thinking in his mind, Tao Dou shouted more happily: "Dad, come out quickly, we have a guest at home."
"What kind of customer is this? A debt collector?"
After a while, an older voice came from the dilapidated house, and then someone slowly walked out. His gait was hobbling, his hair was mostly white, his face was covered with yellow wrinkles, and his whole body was filled with the aura of dying.
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
At the right time, Tao Dou was a little dissatisfied and hurriedly signaled: "Dad, look who this is?"
"Who?" The old man looked up slightly.
At this time, Gao Zhuang stood outside the door, holding two large bags of gifts in his hands. What he brought on board were fruits, health products, and some local specialties. After all, I often go boating and travel around various places, so I must have bought a lot of gifts.
It is these gifts that give the old man some peace of mind. After all, if you are collecting debts, you will definitely not be kind enough to bring gifts. Nowadays, we no longer follow the tactic of being polite first and then attacking later. Instead, we directly rob openly
The old man's gaze passed over the gift, and then slowly moved up. His cloudy eyes were dull, and when his gaze fell on Gao Zhuang's face, he was confused for a while. Apparently he couldn't remember who Gao Zhuang was.
"Uncle Tao, youhow did you become like this?"
At the same time, Gao Zhuang stepped forward lightly, feeling a little sad: "Uncle Tao, it's me, Xiao Gao. Don't you remember me? It was you who taught me how to sail a boat at the Hucheng Fishery Company."
"Xiao Gao? Hucheng" Tao Tao was startled, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes, but after thinking about it for a long time, he remembered the Hucheng Fishing Company, but his impression of Gaozhuang was a bit hazy.
"Brother Gao, don't mind."
At this time, Tao Dou said quickly: "In the past few years, my father was drunk every day, and as he got older, his memory became even more difficult. Not to mention the apprentice ten years ago, even my son, he sometimes do not remember¡¡"
"snort."
Hearing this, Tao Tao must have been a little angry, but he didn't mean to argue, and seemed to be acquiescing. After all, he did have many apprentices at the Hucheng Fishery Company. But as time passed, he really didn't remember these apprentices. Now a disciple came to visit him, but he couldn't call him by name, which was indeed a bit embarrassing.
At this moment, Tao Li saw her father's embarrassment and immediately greeted him: "Let's go in first and talk later."
"That's right, Brother Gao, please come in quickly." Tao Dou quickly stepped aside and said, "Brother Wang, please come in too"
Under Tao Dou¡¯s greeting, Wang Guan and Gao Zhuang also walked into the house. Unexpectedly, the house looks a bit shabby from the outside, but it is very clean and tidy inside. It's just that the space is smaller and there are less furniture.
Walking in, Wang Guan found that the conditions of the Tao family were indeed not very good, especially in the living room, which only had one chair and a few short stools, making it difficult to arrange seats.
And the so-called living room is actually a combination of kitchen, dining room and living room. One corner of the space is filled with various stoves and tableware, and there is also a small round table, which combines to form the kitchen and dining room. In the other corner, a chair, a few small stools, and a small-screen TV can be considered a living room.
Seeing this situation, Gao Zhuang couldn't help but frown, and his sympathy was beyond words.
Sympathy is good, but I am most afraid that you will be indifferent
Tao Dou, who had been paying close attention to Gaozhuang, almost burst into joy when he saw this. Then he quickly moved a chair and said diligently: "Brother Gao, sit down. The environment is simple, so you can make do with it."
"Well, thank you." Gao Zhuang nodded, then stretched out his hand to support Tao Tao, and said with a smile: "Uncle Tao, sit down and think slowly, don't be anxious, you can always remember."
For a moment, Tao Dou wanted to slap himself. He knew that Gao Zhuang was his father's apprentice, but he ignored this and acted so unfilial. Wouldn't it leave a bad impression?
Thinking of this, Tao Dou quickly added: "Dad, you and Brother Gao take your time while I go make tea" However, after looking around, he asked helplessly: "Sister, where did you put the tea?"
This sentence fully shows that Tao Dou is not familiar with the situation at home. It also shows that the reason why the house is so clean and tidy is that Tao Li cleans it. At the same time, before Tao Li could speak, Gao Zhuang rummaged through the gifts and found a box of fine tea and handed it over: "Use this."
Gaozhuang is just rough on the surface, but very delicate in mind. He is afraid that Tao Li will say that there is no tea at home, which will be even more embarrassing. Of course, it was also to take care of Wang Guan's taste, lest he couldn't get used to the coarse tea brewed.
It is estimated that only Wang Guan and Tao Li, who are equally sensitive, were aware of such thoughts. Tao Dou did not think too much. He just opened the tea box carelessly, grabbed a handful of tea leaves and poured them into the kettle to cook directly.
In this regard, Gao Zhuang had no intention of correcting him, but turned around to greet him: "Uncle Tao, are you feeling well?"
"¡¡good."
Tao Tao had a little more smile on his face, and the aura of twilight on his body became a little lighter. Over the past few years, he has become more aware of the warmth and coldness of human relationships and the harshness of the world. He also knew what the current conditions were at home, and those who could come to visit under such circumstances could also know the sincerity involved.
Even though he didn¡¯t remember Gaozhuang, Tao Tao still felt comfortable and naturally treated him warmly
