Chapter 171: Under the Lion Rock: Rural Areas
As Daozai ran in, an old man and a couple followed him in.
I saw that skinny old man was wearing a suit and a pair of glasses, looking very gentle.
Wu Mengda stood up immediately when he saw him and said excitedly:
"Dad, you're finally back. Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye."
The skinny old man also came forward with excitement and hugged Wu Mengda, choking with sobs:
"Yes, twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and my son has become successful."
The couple behind just walked in with their luggage and suddenly saw that there were guests in the house.
When I took a closer look, I was suddenly shocked. Isn’t this the boss?
He quickly put down his luggage, walked up to Li Shaoan and said stiffly:
"Hi boss."
"Good day, boss."
Li Shaoan looked at them, smiled and nodded, and a sense of familiarity came over him.
With his extraordinary mental power, he thought about it for a moment and suddenly remembered where he had seen them before.
In my previous life, I watched a documentary on TikTok directed by a director named Lu Ziqiang.
It's called "Below the Lion Rock: Rural Area".
Aren’t Dazai’s brother and sister-in-law the protagonists of the story?
Just now he was wondering, shouldn’t Daozi’s surname be Chen?
Now he has some understanding.
Wu Mengshen in the documentary eventually followed in his father's footsteps.
He left the mother and son behind and went to England to work alone.
Maybe something happened in the end, so his wife remarried a man named Chen.
Now that Hong Kong has its own existence, I don’t know how many people’s destinies have been changed.
No wonder Da Zi wanted to stand out so much that he even thought about going undercover.
It turns out that he wanted to bring his old father back home as soon as possible.
The two people's words also brought the father and son next to them back to their senses.
Dazai quickly introduced:
"Dad, this is my benefactor, and he is also the boss of me, my elder brother and his wife."
Then he said to Li Shaoan:
"Boss, this is my father, Wu Xiangui."
Li Shaoan smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand and greeted:
"Hello Uncle Gui, my name is Li Shaoan."
When Uncle Gui was far away in England, he heard about Li Shaoan from his family.
He knew that it was because of his support that his youngest son was able to achieve rapid success and also changed the fate of his family.
If it weren't for him, I would probably still be working as a chef in a restaurant in England.
He wiped his hands on his clothes, nervously held Li Shaoan's hand and said:
"Thank you, Boss Li, for taking care of our family. Thank you."
Looking at the old man in front of me, his face was excited and his eyes were a little red.
Li Shaoan smiled and said:
"Uncle Gui, don't say that. Dazai is quite capable and has helped me a lot."
I feel a little emotional, no matter which era it is.
Parents always give so much for their children.
After a while of pleasantries.
Wu Mengshen and his wife went to the kitchen to help, and in a short while, a large table of dishes was served.
Li Shaoan refused again and again, but was finally pushed to the main seat by everyone.
After three rounds of drinks, he listened to Uncle Gui's stories with great interest.
Wu Mengda just smiled and asked:
"Dad, you've been a chef in England for twenty years, so you must be a very good cook."
After Gui Shu toasted Li Shaoan with a glass of wine, he shook his head and said with a smile:
“Then you are wrong.
I actually don't know anything. We are just trying to cheat the foreigners.
When I first came to England, I just washed dishes in the kitchen. "
After a sigh, Uncle Gui continued to laugh:
“It’s funny to talk about it.
One time the kitchen chef fell ill and business was extremely busy that day, so what should we do?
The boss happened to see me washing dishes and thought that since I was a Chinese from Hong Kong, he would order Cantonese food.
So they asked me to take over.
I thought to myself, this is terrible.
I don’t know how to cook, but I dare not say I don’t know anything, otherwise I’m afraid my boss will fire me.
I had no choice but to go ahead and stir-fry it.
I don’t know how to season the food, so I just randomly throw in salt, sugar, vinegar, cornstarch and the like and stir-fry.
After frying it, I was still worried about eating something bad.
Who knew that after eating it, all the foreigners praised it for being delicious.
Someone also gave me a tip of several dozen pounds.
It seemed to be 1953, and a few dozen pounds was more than my salary at the time.
It’s really a delight.”
Wu Mengda looked at his old father and felt both sad and funny.
After wiping his eyes, he smiled:
"I never thought that the foreigners in England are so much dumber than those in Hong Kong. They can't even eat."
For a moment, the table was filled with laughter.
Daozi laughed loudly and said:
"Grandpa, are foreigners so stupid?
Then I will be like you and cheat them by being a cook."
Li Shaoan found it a little funny. He didn't expect that the gambler's childhood wish was to become a chef.
Uncle Gui patted his little head and said with a smile:
“Grandpa became a chef because he had to make a living.
You have to study hard and become a doctor or lawyer in the future."
Daozi grabbed a piece of fried pork ribs and ate it until his mouth was full of oil. He nodded repeatedly and said:
"Yeah, then I'll listen to Grandpa and become a lawyer in the future."
His mother smiled with a little bit of caution:
"You can also be a policeman who fights for the people like my second uncle.
You see, your uncle Li and your second uncle are both policemen, so it would be great for you to become a policeman in the future."
Li Shaoan laughed and said:
"If Daozi wants to be a policeman in the future, he can contact Dazi at any time."
Everyone was delighted when they heard this.
Li Shaoan's words clearly meant that he would take care of him in the future.
Uncle Gui and Wu Mengshen thanked him and toasted him repeatedly, but Daozi said angrily:
"I don't need Uncle Li's help. I can become a high-ranking official on my own."
When his mother heard this, she twisted his little ear and started scolding him with laughter.
Wu Mengda laughed and scolded:
"If you become a policeman, people will know you are related to me as soon as they see your appearance and name.
How can I rely on myself? "
Daozi laughed and said:
“Then when I went to register I took my mother’s last name, since my grandmother said my name was ugly anyway.
She also gave me a name, Lu Minghua."
When Li Shaoan heard this, he felt a little confused. How could these things be connected together?
Secretary for Security Luk Ming-wah?
When Daozai's grandmother heard her grandson say this, she immediately became angry and said:
"Your grandma is dreaming. You will be a member of the Wu family for your whole life, so your name will be Wu Xiaodao.
The name Lu Minghua doesn't sound nice at all.
Daozi, be good and eat your meat quickly."
"Oh."
Seeing that grandma was angry, Daozai stopped talking and started eating obediently.
Seeing that his boss was a little confused, Da Zi explained in a low voice:
“My sister-in-law is from Lujia Village next door, and she is the only child in her family.
So Daozai’s grandmother always wanted my brother and sister-in-law to have another child, and then give the child the same surname as my sister-in-law, Lu.
This will also help the Lu family continue its lineage."
Li Shaoan nodded and smiled, thinking to himself:
“This world is such a strange place, it’s just such a hodgepodge.
If I am not here, then Director Lu will probably still need the help of his uncle and aunt when he becomes a policeman in the future."
He patted Wu Mengda on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Dazi, your family is really full of talented people."
Wu Mengda didn't understand what was going on and just thought it was a blessing from the boss to his nephew.
The meal was a real delight.
Li Shaoan rejected Dazi's idea of driving him out.
Let him take a day off today and spend more time with his family at home.
Wu Mengda and his family waved at the door and waited until Li Shaoan walked away before returning home.
Uncle Gui sighed:
"Dazi, your boss is really nice to you.
You must work hard and don't be lazy, okay?"
Dama and his brother and sister-in-law also nodded. They all knew that the great changes in their family were all thanks to Li Shaoan's help.
Wu Mengda nodded vigorously and said:
"Don't worry, Dad. I will."
The boss is so good to his family that it can be said that he has changed the fate of his family.
He was grateful in his heart and swore secretly at the same time.
As long as the boss gives the order, he would dare to go even if he was asked to assassinate the queen.
