After bringing fishing rods and cooking utensils, everyone boarded the yacht.
Yu Dehua was steering the yacht while Pan Youlin, Shen Daoru, and the rest were busy barbecuing. Li He held a fishing rod in one hand and a glass of beer in the other. He looked at the blue sky and green seawater, feeling carefree.
He saw Loud Mouth beside him looking listless and smiled. "What's wrong? Do you think it's too plain? "
"Huh?" Loud Mouth did not understand what 'plain' meant.
Li He joked. "Usually, if you have a yacht, won't it be accompanied by beautiful women and good wine?"
"No, no." Loud Mouth quickly waved his hands.
"Why? Isn't it always like this in the movies? Besides, Old Yu and Old Shen are always busy. "Li He did not believe that Loud Mouth would be able to stay out of trouble.
Loud Mouth was embarrassed and did not know what to say!
Could it be that I am not the same kind of person as Shen Daoru and Yu Dehua?
He would offend them!
These two old perverts would definitely find an opportunity to make things difficult for him!
"Brother Fu is a henpecked husband." Not only did Gu Xiaohua join in the conversation, but he also teased Xiao Quan.
Li He mocked, "So you're afraid of your wife."
"No, no, how can I be afraid of my wife!" Loud Mouth wanted to refute Li He. You're not afraid of your wife? But he said, "I just don't want to do that. Mr. Li, you've seen my wife before. Although she's not pretty, she's not bad.
I'm the eldest in my family, and there are four siblings. It's tough.
What's more, I was a good-for-nothing back then. After eating the last meal, I never thought about the next one. Not many people in the neighborhood looked up to me from the bottom of their hearts.
She was selling vegetables in the market. It was weird. I bought vegetables when I was free, and then I sent them home. When I was unhappy, I gave them away when I was out.
The little money I earned was all spent on her family's vegetable stall. My mother scolded me countless times because of this.
And you know how I am. I'm a careless person, but I don't know how to speak when I see her. "
"This is the power of love." Li He was interested and encouraged Loud Mouth to continue.
He didn't expect Xiao Quan to have such a tender side to her.
Loud Speaker Quan continued, "She's not a fool. After a long time, of course, she knew what I was thinking. Once, she asked me directly if I wanted to pursue her. Mr. Li, how bold do you think this woman is? I still don't understand where she got her guts from. "
"And then?" Li He continued to ask. This was the first time he saw Loud Speaker acting like an innocent little boy. He was even more of a rookie than he was back then!
"My brain crashed on the spot. I was so nervous that I couldn't even speak. I ran away immediately." Loud Speaker looked ashamed.
"Haha …"
Li He and Gu Xiaohua burst out laughing.
Xiao Quan sighed. "After that, I went back to look for her and boldly told her that I liked her. Mr. Li, you know that I don't hesitate to kill people, but when I saw her, I actually stuttered.
One thing I hadn't thought of, she agreed.
Then, we started dating. Everyone in her family was against it. No matter how unseemly it was to sell vegetables, she couldn't be a delinquent!
Her parents were angry and wanted to break off their relationship. At that time, I didn't want her to fight with her family too much, so I was ready to run away at any time. I didn't want to put her in a difficult position. But she was stubborn and only recognized me. Just like that, she followed me. I scraped together some money and opened a flower stall in Central. She became the lady boss.
I'm a fickle person and the most impatient. I relied on her alone. There wasn't a single person in Central who didn't know her.
I was half-hearted and wanted to make quick money. When I wanted to leave with her, she almost fought with me, saying that it was harmful. Luckily, I listened to her. In Hong Kong, you can wash your reputation, but once you're involved with her, all reputation and status will be gone.
Mr. Li, tell me, what reason do I have to do anything wrong to such a woman? "
"Nothing in private?" Li He didn't believe it.
He was a good example.
It wasn't that simple.
Xiao Quan waved her hands. "No, really. That woman is too smart. Hong Kong is too small. How can she not know what's going on?
If I really dare to fool around outside, she can do anything. If she divorces me, how am I supposed to live?
I'm not afraid to laugh at you, but I feel uncomfortable every day I don't see her.
My greatest achievement in this life was marrying her. Moreover, I knew in my heart that even if my current conditions were not bad, it would be difficult for me to meet a woman like her. A woman who was willing to wholeheartedly treat me well, who didn't care whether I had money or status.
Mr. Li, do you think I can afford to lose?
I can't afford to lose.
So, I don't dare to gamble.
Sigh, anyway, my life is ruined by her. "
"Let me give you a toast for what you said." Li He raised his beer can to Xiao Quan.
"Thank you, Mr. Li." Xiao Quan was flattered.
"Alright, we can have more food." Li He shook his fishing rod and caught a big yellow croaker.
"It's quite fat." Gu Xiaohua helped put the fish into the bucket, then sent it to Shen Daoru to clean it up and grill it.
Shen Daoru's cooking was good. Li He couldn't stop praising him.
Only when the sun went down did everyone go back.
All the guests had left. Only Old Man Zhang and Li Lan were playing chess in the yard. Li Zhaokun was watching from the side.
"Old Man Zhang, you lost again?" Li Zhaokun wasn't happy that his grandson had won. Instead, he was disappointed that Old Man Zhang didn't leave his side!
He had lived so many years in vain!
He was worse than a child!
"Why don't you play?" Old Man Zhang wanted to stand up and give the seat to Li Zhaokun.
He hadn't won a single round!
"If I know how to play, why would I come to you?" Li Zhaokun snorted.
"So you're not playing anymore?" Old Man Zhang asked Li Lan.
Li Lan nodded. There was no point in winning with an unfair advantage.
"Oh, you know how to play chess now?" Li He touched Li Lan's head. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
"Dad, you play." Li Lan pushed the chess board to Li He.
"Don't cry."
If they were playing chess, Li He definitely wouldn't be able to beat Li Lan. The rule of chess was' First cannon, then the horse jumps'. He could still do it!
He played according to the old routine. The horse ate the square position, and the seven pawns behind. Then, he stuffed the second cannon into Li Lan's eyes so that the horse could jump.
"One rook for two cannons?"
Li He shook his head helplessly. What a silly son!
Before he could smoke a cigarette, he heard Old Man Zhang say, "The checkmate is here."
"So soon?" Li He realized that his old general had nowhere to go!
What was going on?
He looked at Li Lan suspiciously.
