"So serious? You don't want to borrow money from me, right?" Dong Qiangqiang picked up a stone while joking, and threw it out with all his strength. The stone landed further than Lao Bai's. "Let's talk about it first, my money." It’s expensive, and the daily interest rate is 3%.”
"If I pursue Lele," Lao Bai ignored Dong Qiangqiang's nonsense, "What do you think?"
Ever since Tong Lele expressed her desire to pay off Lao Bai's debts in Italy, and Lei Lanting was worried about the close relationship between the two before going to Japan, and since Lao Bai wanted to divide Tong Lele's one-third of the company's shares after returning from Japan, Dong Qiangqiang has realized that the relationship between the two is not the same. It was progressing faster than he expected. So this question didn't surprise him. On the contrary, he was sincerely happy for Lao Bai.
He felt that Lao Bai finally figured it out this time.
Moreover, fundamentally speaking, it is his business who Lao Bai wants to be friends with, and Dong Qiangqiang has no right or interest to dictate.
"It doesn't matter how I look at it. It's your freedom to choose who you want." Dong Qiangqiang reminded kindly, "If one day Hualing suddenly comes back and says he wants to start over, what will you do? Can you really let it go? After all, you have... …”
"One wrong love is enough." Lao Bai's tone was decisive, "I will never look back. Neither will she."
The rolling rhythm of the waves gradually accelerated, and the button to retreat towards the depths of the sea was silently pressed.
"So you're serious? You're not looking for a substitute to pass the time?"
"I must be serious, but..." Lao Bai hesitated.
"Just what?"
"Lele's conditions are very good," Lao Bai said calmly, "but I'm divorced. Although I graduated, I don't have a stable job. My business depends on the weather. I'm afraid... I'll delay others."
"I don't understand." Dong Qiangqiang subconsciously looked back in the direction of Tong Lele and others, as if he was afraid that the other party would hear them, but he could only see the gray hazy silhouettes of a few people sitting on the embankment, "When are you so afraid?" Is the wolf queen afraid of tigers? In my impression, Lao Bai is fearless."
Lao Bai laughed at himself: "Heroes die too late."
"That's nonsense! It seems to me that you are just afraid of being rejected and are just looking for escape routes and excuses for yourself." Dong Qiangqiang said angrily, "Do you still remember what you told me before? You said that the most important thing in pursuing a girl is sincerity. If If you are willing to give your sincerity, then pursue it boldly, no matter what others think?"
"So you... think there's nothing wrong with us two?"
"What's the problem?" Dong Qiangqiang asked, "The only problem I can think of is that emotional matters don't have good results if you pay for them. If Tong Lele rejects you, you..."
Dong Qiangqiang was still talking to himself when he suddenly saw a strange smile appear on the corner of Lao Bai's mouth, and he couldn't help but be startled.
Almost instantly, he suddenly woke up and punched Lao Bai on the shoulder: "Damn it, you lied to me?"
Lao Bai rubbed his shoulders and smiled without saying a word.
"When... did this happen?" Dong Qiangqiang looked surprised, "Okay, I didn't leak a word."
"I think... it should be in Japan." Lao Bai pursed his lips and recalled, "I don't know how to tell you."
"What should I say?" Dong Qiangqiang didn't know why he felt happier when he heard the news than finding a girlfriend. "What about that, does everyone know?"
"Well, not yet. Lele wants to announce it to everyone later." Lao Bai looked quite hesitant, "I also want to wait for Xu Tongying to make some achievements before making any announcement. This will also be good for Lele." Well, if she regrets it, we can all have room for each other."
Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself: Since Lao Bai said this, everyone probably doesn't know yet, but with Lei Lanting's shrewdness, I'm afraid they have already guessed it. No wonder Lei Lanting had a long face the day he came back from Japan.
Facing the fierce sea breeze, Lao Bai asked: "Speaking of which, do you know why I called you all here today?
"It's definitely not for us to improve our food." Dong Qiangqiang knew that going to the sea was just a name. With Lao Bai's character, he must be thinking about business again, "You want us to pay more attention to this kind of scenic spots and prepare for the future. Bar?"
Lao Bai nodded approvingly: "The domestic company has obtained the business license number and tax number. I sent it to Xu Tongying yesterday. She said it would be as soon as possible."
"It's so fast." Dong Qiangqiang sighed and remembered that he had not received an admission notice from any university, and the light on his face suddenly dimmed.
Lao Bai seemed to see through his worries and comforted him: "Don't pay too much attention."
"What?" Dong Qiangqiang didn't hear what he said clearly.
"Even after you graduate from college, you will still find a job. Instead of working for others, it is better to work for yourself. If you really don't receive the notice this time, it's not a big deal. Lebai welcomes you at any time. If you join us full-time, it is your guarantee.”
"Thank you." Dong Qiangqiang sighed sadly.
Unknowingly, the sky has been adjusted from top to bottom by the painter of nature into four colors: light red, light pink, green lotus and sapphire blue. Dong Qiangqiang took out the camera from his backpack and just took two pictures when he heard the sound not far away. He Yuanjin shouted: "The tide is ebbing!"
The sea breeze at this time was extremely violent. Dong Qiangqiang's hair was blown messily and flying, and his jacket was like a big balloon that was fed. The previously gentle waves were retreating rapidly at this time, making a roaring sound like a tractor, making it muddy and muddy. The rugged mud beach is gradually revealed as the water recedes.
Dong Qiangqiang had already seen the low tide on the island, so he and Lao Bai walked back to the embankment.
When everyone gathered in a circle, Lao Bai explained the essentials of catching the sea in a leisurely manner.
“It’s easy to get scratches on your fingers when turning over rocks, so be sure to wear gloves.”
"Under rocks, in rock crevices, and in mud pits, crabs may be hiding."
"You have to pay attention to both sides of the crab shell. Of course, if anyone finds it more challenging to catch crabs with claws, I won't object. You have to be steady and firm when catching, and take action when it's time. Otherwise, there won't be that shop after this village."
"Crabs can walk very quickly on sea mud and rocks. When they see a crack, they crawl in and lie down. It's still very hard to move rocks to find it."
"Whether it's crabs or fish, if they are too small, they will be released, and only the big ones will be kept."
Finally, he concluded: "In traditional Chinese culture, eating crabs is a very popular thing, especially during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is the best time to eat crabs. Getting together with friends, enjoying crabs, wine and delicious food is one of the joys of life. . From this time of year to the end of September, it is the season when crab meat is the most delicious and juicy. And the Germans do not have a crab-eating culture, so this advantage is left to us. What’s even more rare is that catching crabs in Germany does not require fishing. Fishing license and hunting license are required for hunting. This is what Dong Qiangqiang feels the most. Whatever is caught belongs to the individual. To use a popular saying, whether this species should be regarded as an endangered or rare animal depends on our stomachs."
Everyone laughed in understanding.
"Old Bai, what's the point of each catching his own? Do you dare to compete?" He Yuanjin's eyebrows rolled, and he took it into consideration and provoked, "Boys are in a group, girls are in a group, whoever catches more will lose. Here’s a treat.”
"No problem, what does the loser ask for?" Lao Bai readily accepted the challenge.
"Stop eating big beef bones all the time. I'm tired of eating them. I heard there are good Chinese restaurants for hamburgers..." He Yuanjin said with a sly smile.
"Hey, you're quite confident." Lao Bai high-fived He Yuanjin, "From now on, the winner will be determined by weight when the tide rises."
"It's not fair." Lei Lanting, who had been silent until now, seemed to have finally woken up. "What's the glory of three boys winning against three girls? I want to be paired with a girl."
"It's just what I want." Lao Bai smiled, "This way you won't have any excuse if you lose again."
Seeing that he had the numerical advantage, He Yuanjin was overjoyed and was the first to rush to the beach.
In just ten minutes, the water had receded seven or eight meters from its original position, leaving a large number of stones, seaweed, and shells on the dark brown beach like mud. The beach turned into two completely different colors, as distinct as the marks on the skin after wearing a hurdle vest all summer.
The sun has turned into a bright golden ball, burning with crimson flames, rising little by little from the horizon. The golden color of dawn covers everything.
Dong Qiangqiang was extremely unstable when walking on the sea mud in his soft-soled rubber shoes. Often when he was touching a small crab, he would suddenly see a big crab passing by. He wanted to chase it, but he was unable to move because of the sticky lumps on his feet. , I can only watch the beautiful woman go away, feeling so anxious in my heart.
Turning around to look at the crowd, they all looked similar to each other. They were all walking cautiously on the bumpy mud road like a spacewalk. From time to time, they were nudged by protruding rocks, and then missed the opportunity due to the terrain and crabs.
There are unnamed fish in the mud, some with their tail fins exposed, and some with their heads exposed, desperately looking for water to breathe.
He even saw a transparent jellyfish stuck in the cracks of the gravel.
"I caught one too!" Tong Lele shouted, waving a crab in the distance, with a novel and bright light shining on her face.
It was almost noon, and there were more and more people on the beach. Beauties in bikinis, children playing, teenagers splashing in the water, and old couples kissing passionately like young couples can be seen everywhere.
Looking at the sun, the beach, the beautiful women, and the crabs that were about to eat, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but sigh: This is a real vacation.
When the tide rose, Tong Lele announced the results of the competition: the girls team won the competition with a slight advantage of 200 grams, which happened to be the weight of a crab.
He Yuanjin cheered, Lao Bai was willing to admit defeat, and happily pulled everyone to Hamburg, only to find that the Chinese restaurant He Yuanjin was talking about was Wanfu.
Seeing that it was Dong Qiangqiang and his friends, the boss readily discounted the price, gave away meat and vegetables, and finally asked the chef to put away the crabs.
The fragrant sea crabs fried with green onions and steamed sea crabs were served on a large plate each. Looking at the golden crab roe, everyone's mouths were flowing freely.
While the wine was in full swing, Dong Qiangqiang secretly pulled Lao Bai aside and whispered: "What did you put in their bags when they were holding the weight? Is it crabs?"
Lao Bai drank a lot of wine, stared at Dong Qiangqiang with a red face for a long time, and replied with a smile: "I don't know what you are talking about, but fried onions are better than steamed."
