It was unknown whether it was because he loved his wife too much, or because he was a forthright and righteous person, but after Lin Huonan heard his wife's introduction, his face revealed a very sincere and cheerful smile. He took the initiative to extend his hand to Xu Da, who was standing in front of him, and said, "Welcome, welcome. We rarely have guests in our house. It's great that you can come. It's a pity that I'm not at home, so I can't take care of you. Please don't mind. "
His accent was simple and honest, with a Hong Kong and Taiwan Mandarin accent. It sounded very rigid, but also very honest.
Xu Da and Li Rui shook hands with him, and Yang Qing Qing also called Zixuan, Zeng Baohua, and Yang Xiang over, and introduced them to her husband one by one. Lin Huonan met the three women one after another. He was very warm and friendly, and his personality was very similar to Yang Qing Qing's.
After the introductions, Yang Qing Qing brought the three women back to the kitchen to continue preparing lunch. Lin Huonan called the two male guests, Li Rui and Xu Da, to drink water and chat in the living room.
"What's going on with the kidnapping this time? I was a little busy, so I didn't hear it clearly. Also, how did Miss Gao and the others get rescued? "
Lin Huonan was still very interested in the kidnapping this time. After getting familiar with Li Rui and Xu Da, he asked this question.
Li Rui told the ins and outs of this incident, and the process of how they entered the villa last night to rescue the two women. However, in order to avoid trouble, he spoke in an official tone. That is, the special task force led the special forces to attack the villa, kill the terrorists, and rescue the last hostage, Zixuan.
After Lin Huonan heard this, he asked an outrageous question, which almost made Li Rui and Xu Da laugh out loud. "After Zixuan and Mary were rescued, did they step into the brazier and burn their clothes to get rid of the bad luck on their bodies?"
Li Rui and Xu Da looked at each other, and the two resisted laughing. After all, Lin Huonan's expression was very serious and dignified, as if he was talking about something important. How could they laugh?
Li Rui shook his head. "No, they probably just changed their clothes and didn't burn their old ones."
Lin Huonan cried out, "How can that be? Fortunately, it's not too late now. Just set up a brazier in front of my house. Burn the clothes you've taken off when you get back. Don't wear them again. I'll go prepare the brazier and the mahogany wood. You two get them ready. "After saying that, he hurriedly walked out.
Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Xu Da. Xu Da whispered, "He's from Hong Kong. Maybe he values the customs of the old generation very much. But it's rare that he's so passionate and righteous, so we don't have to be polite."
Li Rui had no choice but to go to the kitchen to find Zixuan and Zeng Baohua. He asked the two girls to prepare to step over the brazier at the door.
Yang Qingqing's reaction was to repeatedly shake her head. "Ah Nan is always so superstitious. I can't do anything about him."
A few minutes later, Lin Huonan was ready at the door. He lit up a mahogany wood branch in an iron brazier. Then, he called Zixuan and Zeng Baohua to his side and used the willow branch to sweep their bodies. His mouth muttered some words to sweep away the bad luck from their bodies. Then, he asked the two girls to step over the brazier and enter the house to completely remove the bad luck.
After this superstitious episode, Lin Huonan also received the approval of Li Rui, Xu Da, and the others. Let's not talk about whether he was superstitious or not. Just based on his warm-hearted consideration for his friends, he was worth making friends with.
Returning to the house, the four girls continued to cook in the kitchen. Lin Huonan brought Li Rui and Xu Da downstairs to play. He first showed off his hunting rifle to the two, then invited them to play billiards.
At 12: 30 in the afternoon, a sumptuous feast was laid out on the lawn behind the house. There were salad dishes, barbecue dishes, stir-fried dishes, steamed dishes, etc. There were a total of sixteen dishes. Red, green, white, and white dishes were laid out on a long table. There was no need to taste it. Just looking at the array of dishes was enough to whet one's appetite.
The seven of them sat on the left and right, each holding a wine glass. After Yang Qingqing gave an opening speech, each of them drank a mouthful of wine. This gluttonous feast thus began. Everyone ate and drank, chatted and laughed. There was no need to mention how lively it was. The shadow in Zixuan and Zeng Baohua's hearts from the kidnapping also quickly dissipated.
Zixuan was very grateful to Yang Qingqing. She secretly whispered to Li Rui, who was sitting next to her, "I must invite Qingqing and her husband back to Jingnan to play and entertain them for a few days. This person is really too good. She's just like Sister Qingman. I can feel how good she is more and more. "
Li Rui nodded in agreement, but said, "Xiangxiang is also good to you. She works hard for you. Why don't you think of entertaining her?"
Zixuan angrily said, "Aiya, how can it be the same? Xiangxiang is one of us. Do I need to be so polite with her? But I'll treat Xiangxiang as my own sister in the future. You can rest assured. "
After the two finished talking, Lin Huonan also came over with a toast. Li Rui and Xu Da smiled and stood up. They raised their glasses and drank with him.
After Li Rui sat down, he sighed inwardly. It was really like the old saying, "If you're not a family, you won't enter a family." Yang Qingqing was kind and righteous, and her husband was also a warm and hospitable person. This trip to America, not only could they save Zixuan, but they could also make such good friends. It was really a blessing from the heavens.
While they were eating, Lin Huonan suddenly received a phone call. Li Rui sat opposite him. He noticed that when he saw the caller's name, his face suddenly became very ugly. He was secretly puzzled.
Lin Huonan stood up and said apologetically to everyone, "My friends, I'm sorry. I'll take this call first. You guys eat slowly." He turned around and went back into the house.
He was on the phone for a long time. When he came back, Yang Qingqing asked with dissatisfaction, "Who called? Why did you take so long?"
Lin Huonan said with an awkward expression, "You don't know. A friend."
Yang Qingqing said, "What took you so long?"
Lin Huonan sighed and said, "Just some trivial matters! I thought that I could leave the circle after leaving Hong Kong. Who knew that America is also not peaceful. A few friends in Philadelphia asked me for help … "He looked at Li Rui and the others. Seeing that they were all looking at him, he didn't say anything more. He forced a smile and said," Everyone, eat more. Don't be shy … "
Li Rui, Xu Da, and the others could see that his smile wasn't sincere. However, they weren't familiar with him, so they didn't ask too much. They then turned their attention to the food.
After lunch, Yang Qingqing took the three girls for a walk nearby to admire the flowers. At the same time, they were preparing for dinner. Yang Qingqing planned to have a barbecue dinner in the back of the house. Zixuan and the other two girls were indebted to her. They couldn't just say goodbye and leave, so they agreed.
Lin Huonan took Li Rui and Xu Da to the Astor River to fish. They were going to add more dishes for the dinner. Although the Astor River was turbulent, there were still bays and deep ponds. The three of them rushed to a bend in the river. After preparing the bait, they hooked a few big fish in a short while.
While the three of them were fishing happily, Lin Huonan received a phone call. The person who called him should be the same person who called him at noon. After he answered the phone, his face turned ashen. He spoke a few words in Cantonese and apologized to Li Rui and Xu Da again. He asked the two of them to fish first. He had to drive to Philadelphia.
Li Rui and Xu Da naturally wouldn't stop him. After saying a few words of courtesy, they watched him leave in a hurry.
"This Ah Nan isn't an ordinary person!"
After sitting down, Xu Da said.
Li Rui nodded and said, "Yes, he said during lunch that he seemed to be in a circle of trouble in Hong Kong. He came to America to hide. Who knew that he couldn't hide in America. However, he's a good person. If he has any difficulties, we can help him. "
Xu Da smiled and said, "Let's see if he says it or not."
The two brothers fished for lunch. When they finished fishing, they counted more than 30 fish. All of them were big fish. According to the calculation of one fish per person for dinner, there were still more than 20 fish left. Lin Huonan and Yang Qing Qing would probably have to eat fish for a long time in the future.
During this time, Li Rui received a call from Gao Dongdong. She said that the flight tickets had been booked. They would take off tomorrow afternoon from New York's Newark Airport and fly directly to Beijing.
After returning to the house, Li Rui told Zixuan the news. Yang Qing Qing heard from the side and once again persuaded Zixuan and Zeng Baohua to stay the night. They were all good friends. Zixuan couldn't make up his mind. He looked at Li Rui for help.
Li Ruixin thought that if they didn't stay the night, they would have to go back to the hotel. It would be boring to stay the whole night. Besides, Yang Qing Qing was so enthusiastic to stay that it wouldn't be appropriate to refuse. However, he was worried that Xu Da and Yi Lian might have a date, so he asked for Xu Da's opinion first.
Xu Da smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'll listen to you."
Li Rui decided to stay. Yang Qing Qing was very happy. She pulled Zixuan and jumped around. It seemed that she had been short of friends for too long.
Lin Huonan only drove home before the barbecue started. He didn't look too good, but when he saw Li Rui, Xu Da and the others, he smiled. The seven of them happily started the banquet on the lawn behind the house. During the process, they sang, danced, drank, played games, and caught fireflies. They had a lot of fun. Of course, they also ate very happily.
After dinner, the seven of them drank, played cards, and chatted. The friendship quickly warmed up, just like old friends who had known each other for many years.
In the middle, Li Rui asked Lin Huonan if he had any difficulties. If he needed help, they could help.
Lin Huonan smiled and said it was nothing. He changed the topic.
At ten o 'clock at night, the big house was completely quiet. The couple and the five guests went to sleep separately. The couple stayed in their own bedroom on the second floor. Zixuan, Yang Xiang, and Zeng Baohua stayed in the same room on the second floor. They slept on the same big bed. Li Rui and Xu Da stayed on the first floor. They also slept on the same big bed.
Before going to bed, Li Rui said that he had never enjoyed such a happy and free night. Xu Da also agreed.
Because he drank a lot, Li Rui fell asleep very quickly. He didn't know how long he slept. Suddenly, his shoulder was patted several times and he woke up.
