"Dad, what are you burning? It smells so good."
Once inside.
There was a strong aroma of vegetables coming out.
This surprised Meng Yudu.
As her voice fell, Meng Dehai, wearing an apron and holding a spatula in his hand, poked his head out of the kitchen: "Hey, I'm back."
"Uncle Meng."
Gao Qilan smiled and said hello.
"Quick, come in and sit down, there are two more dishes, they will be ready soon." Meng Dehai said, and then went in and started working again.
And this time.
Meng Yu couldn't help but said in surprise: "Isn't it right? Dad, you made such a table full of dishes?"
Meng Dehai in the kitchen responded with a smile: "Where is this? When your mother and I got married, it was during the planned economy period. The work unit only gave a few meat coupons, which was not enough for relatives and friends, so I You turned into flowers and cooked several tables full of dishes. At that time, your uncles and uncles all..."
"Dad, the pot is burnt!"
"ah!"
"Oh, my ribs..."
——
Saw this father and daughter.
Gao Qilan still felt a lot of emotion in her heart.
After all, when she was very young, her father drove drunk and took her mother to death.
If it weren't for the big brother here.
I'm afraid the three brothers and sisters have already starved to death.
Just when Gao Qilan was sighing, Meng Yu, who reminded her father that the pot was burnt, gave her an apologetic smile: "Sister Lan, I'm sorry to make you laugh."
"But this is the first time I've seen my dad cook." At this point, Meng Yu turned back and glanced at the kitchen.
And this also made Gao Qilan frown slightly, thinking: It seems that this meal is not simple...
——
Since the ribs were burnt just now, they were not served again in the end.
Even so.
This table is already rich enough.
But just as we were getting ready for dinner.
Gao Qilan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Hey, where is Aunt Cui?"
"I'm going to Xiaoyu's grandma's house, but it's better this way. No one will care about my drinking, hahaha..."
Meng Dehai had just finished laughing when Meng Yu poured him a basin of cold water: "Dad, Mom reminded me before I left that even if you drink, you can't exceed..."
"Erliang, do I need you to remind me?"
"Come on, come on, Xiaolan, I'll fill it up for you."
Meng Dehai glared at his daughter, then hurriedly picked up the bottle and started pouring wine for Gao Qilan.
This scene.
Gao Qilan was flattered and stood up quickly: "Oh, uncle, I'd better do it..."
"No, Sister Lan, just let my dad drink it, so that he can secretly drink more." Meng Yu glanced at his dad with a look that had already seen through you.
Meng Dehai didn't care either.
Instead, he happily picked up the wine glass and said to Gao Qilan: "Xiaolan, this glass of wine is for you. Thank you for taking care of Xiaoyu."
"Uncle, look at what you said."
Gao Qilan said politely: "With Xiaoyu here, I don't know how much Jian Shou has helped me."
"Where's the second glass of wine..."
Seeing this, Meng Dehai picked up the cup again.
Meng Yu quickly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Dad, Mom said, you can't drink so fast!"
"So many dishes can't stop your mouth, right?" Meng Dehai couldn't help but stare.
And Gao Qilan also smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle, Xiao Yu is right. Even if you don't care about your own health, you have to consider me. I'm afraid you're in such a hurry..."
Before Gao Qilan could finish speaking, Meng Dehai interrupted: "This second glass of wine is to thank you for coming to my house for this meal today."
"Oh, uncle, what you are talking about is all about following the same path. If it is not directed at you, I have to do it with Xiao Yu..."
He said it politely.
But in Gao Qilan's heart, he had already added a few layers of defense.
Because she noticed.
I'm afraid this meal really isn't that delicious!
"But it's different because..."
really.
Just after finishing the second glass of wine.
Meng Dehai finally brought the topic down to business after pondering for a while: "Uncle Meng has something and I want to ask you for a favor."
Gao Qilan heard this.
There was no first answer.
Instead, he smiled lightly, put down his glass and said, "How about you tell me first?"
"I heard that your Qiangsheng Group has won the project to renovate an old dock in the district, right?" Meng Dehai asked.
"Yes, that's right."
Gao Qilan nodded and replied: "The moon head was taken off, and construction has begun now."
"I also heard that you have now adopted a brand-new construction model, which is called construction while camping, right?" Meng Dehai asked again.
Gao Qilan smiled lightly and explained: "I'm not afraid of making you laugh, but the main reason is that the funding gap is too big, and I don't want to embarrass other participating units, so I came up with such a bad idea."
"This is not a bad idea, and it is a way to reduce the pressure on the company."
Meng Dehai praised, and then asked: "Then...how many ports are open to navigation now?"
"Uncle, this is not called a port, it's called a berth. Each berth can accommodate one cargo ship. If the unloading speed is fast and the approval documents are complete, a single berth can accommodate up to 6 cargo ships per day."
"That's it..."
As Gao Qilan explained, Meng Dehai fell into deep thought.
And this time.
Gao Qilan asked curiously: "Uncle Meng, if you ask this...could there be any relatives who want to join in?"
"That's not true."
Meng Dehai said hesitantly: "Just... I think if it's convenient, I have a friend who wants to take a boat trip. Is that okay?"
"black?"
Gao Qilan asked tentatively, and Meng Dehai thought for a while and said, "That's right."
These three words.
Gao Qilan immediately began to ponder.
The so-called black ones.
Just can't see the light.
In terms of shipping, it is similar to smuggling.
No wonder Meng Dehai was so abnormal today.
This seems to be the case.
After figuring it out.
Gao Qilan said: "Okay, I will make arrangements tomorrow, and then just let Xiao Yu do the operation."
actually.
Gao Qilan planned to drag Meng Yu into trouble.
Unexpectedly.
Just when Gao Qilan finished speaking, Meng Dehai was the first to speak and said with a wry smile: "That's the problem. Xiaoyu's mother picked up Doudou quietly, and now she can't bring her back, so she can only let her Xiaoyu went there, I’m afraid it will take several days to go back and forth.”
"ah?"
Before Gao Qilan spoke, Meng Yu couldn't sit still at that moment: "Why didn't Mom say anything to me when she picked up Doudou?"
Meng Dehai glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk about you. I only found out in the afternoon. How about I let you invite Xiaolan?"
have to.
Gao Qilan finally saw it.
This is about playing the emotional card with yourself.
in other words.
It's moral kidnapping.
If you refuse it face to face now.
That would be equivalent to being completely alienated from the Meng family.
This old guy.
What a good move!
certainly.
You have your plan, and I have my ladder.
Although Gao Qilan could only agree at this time.
But she is not helpless!
Think of this.
She smiled and said:
"Uncle Meng, how about this?"
"I'll go to the company tomorrow to see which line is empty. Then you can tell me the disembarkation number and I'll arrange for someone to pick it up."
"What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Dehai hurriedly raised his glass and smiled: "Okay, okay, then I'll trouble you, Xiaolan."
"It should."
——
eight pm.
Gao Qilan said goodbye and left the Meng family.
Meng Yu, who sent her downstairs, asked when he got home, "Dad, did mom really pick up Doudou?"
"Well, I didn't know about it until this afternoon." Meng Dehai said while putting away the dishes.
"Then the black stuff Gao Qilan mentioned earlier is..."
With Meng Yu's face full of curiosity, Meng Dehai took a deep breath and said to her in a solemn tone: "Xiao Yu, you don't have to worry about this. In short, remember one sentence, I am doing this for you and for you." Doudou, we are paving the way for the future of our Meng family!”
