“Do not talk too fast. Actually, lately I've been thinking, after I've recovered, I'm gonna buy a little hill. On it, I will build some little huts, plant some trees, vegetables, and raise chickens, ducks, and goats on it. It will return to nature,” Wei Hai said.
“Are you going back to nature or starting a farm?” Wang Yao laughed when he heard that.
“Oh, yes. Doing too much will also defeat the goal. Sighs. I've never been to the top of your hill before. Can I come to visit soon?” Wei Hai asked. He had heard Wang Mingbao mention earlier how Wang Yao lived on a hill in his village called Nanshan hill. At the top of the hill, there was a small hut and various trees and herb gardens. It was a closed lifestyle like Tao Yuanming.
“As long as I'm there, you can come anytime.”
As the two of them spoke, Wang Mingbao walked in.
“You're here?” Wang Mingbao asked Wang Yao. He had seen Wang Yao's car outside and decided to stop by.
“I just got sick like a madman, so I called him,” Wei Hai replied to Wang Yao.
“Wow, that's pretty good service. Always be on standby,” Wang Mingbao said with a laugh.
“If you want tea, you know where to get it.”
“OK, you don't have to get up,” replied Wang Mingbao. He brews a cup of tea for himself and sits down.
“Why do I feel that you rejoice over my misfortune?” Wei Hai said, looking at Wang Mingbao suspiciously.
“No, you misunderstood. This is an expression of sympathy and concern.”
“Mingbao, if you are not busy with your store, you should come and visit it more often. After all, he has tea here, ” Wang Yao said. The situation just now was extremely dangerous, and if he did not call Wang Yao in time but chose to endure it further, he could faint from the pain. If he fainted alone in his shop, no one would know, and the consequences would be severe.
“Sure.”
“You're supposed to be pretty safe right?” asked Wang Yao. Looking at Wei Hai right now, he definitely did not have the strength to kill a single chicken. Perhaps saying that she could be bullied by elementary school children would be a little overwhelming, but she could definitely be threatened by high school children.
“It's okay. There's a police station just 500 yards down the road. As long as the person is not blind or crazy, they will not try anything funny in this area, ” Wang Mingbao replied.
It was still raining outside, and the three men were sitting inside the teahouse drinking tea and chatting. Time passed slowly as rainwater drenched the streets. The sky is getting dark.
After taking the medicine, Wei Hai was clearly much better.
“Alright, rest good. I will return,” Wang Yao said as he stood up.
“Don't rush off, have dinner first before leaving. I will order food to take home,” Wei Hai said.
“Bring home? There is a restaurant next door that grows its own vegetables. The vegetables are very fresh; the dishes are also quite tasty. Should we go there together?”
“OK, let's go,” replied Wang Yao.
Wei Hai was wearing thicker clothes.
When they opened the door, a gust of wind blew, and Wei Hai sneezed a few times. The restaurant was only about thirty meters from his teahouse, but he was walking very slowly.
It was a fairly large restaurant and was in very clean condition. Maybe it's because it's still morning, but the customers haven't had much. For such a restaurant to last so long in a place like Lianshan County was a considerable achievement.
The three of them sat at a table by the window. They ordered a few dishes and a bowl of soup.
“Do you usually order takeout all the time?”
“Of course not. Sometimes, I'll cook noodles or porridge for myself. I found that cooking can also be a lot of fun, especially cooking something you love.”
“Hey, since you fell ill, you became a philosopher,” said Wang Mingbao, amused.
“Life has always been too busy before, and I didn't realize the better pleasures in life. Since I fell ill, it allowed Me to calm down and find things I never noticed before.”
“Good right?”
The three of them continued to talk as the food was served. Most of the vegetables served are in season now and look very fresh. There is a good nutritional balance, with more vegetables and fewer cuts of meat. The soup was Flower Fish soup, and it looked very delicious.
“It looks pretty good,” said Wang Yao.
“It's okay.” This was Wei Hai's assessment. This was already a pretty good appraisal, after all, Wei Hai had eaten gourmet food from famous restaurants around the world.
“You drink?”
“No, thank you. I'm driving later, and he can't drink. You can continue.”
“No pleasure drinking alone. I guess I won't drink then.”
As dinner approached, the restaurant began to be filled with more customers.
“How about staying tonight? We can go and have fun,” Wang Mingbao said, while taking food for himself.
“No, I don't think I can sleep well,” replied Wang Yao. According to him, Nanshan hill night time is the best.
“Come, spirit!” This voice came from the table next to them, where there were four men sitting. They seemed to be enjoying themselves, and their glasses were constantly clashing against each other.
“Should we also toast?” said Wei Hai. He looked strong but clearly felt weak. He raised his water glass.
Ding ding's. The door opened, and two young women entered. They were very young, about twenty years old. One looked rich, while the other was pleasant to look at. The second girl was about 1.6 meters tall with white skin and delicate features. His gaze was gentle and elegant, and it made people feel relaxed.
“Hmm,” Wang Mingbao's eyes sparkled, as he stared at the girl.
“What is it?” Wang Yao asked, looking over. Coincidentally, the two girls decided to sit at the table beside their table.”
“Mmm, passable,” says Wei Hai. He keeps eating.
“The food is not bad; the people are not bad either. If you like, go and ask her out,” Wei Hai said with a smile.
Wang Mingbao did not say anything and lowered his head, continuing to eat. Occasionally, he would glance at the gentle-looking woman.
“Servant,” Wei Hai called the waiter and ordered two more dishes. To be honest, the dishes on the table were already more than enough for the three of them.
“Really pamper the eyes!”
Wang Yao sat quietly, laughing without saying anything. The three of them continued to eat slowly.
Wang Mingbao felt a bit strange. He also owns a shop and has seen guests from all over the world. He also often went out and saw many beautiful women. However, it was only today when a random stranger had attracted her interest, so much so that she wanted to go and introduce herself. He wanted to ask if she was single, exchange contacts, invite her out to eat and watch a movie. Suddenly, all of these things began to appear in his mind.
Could this be love at first sight?
On the table beside them, there were already three empty glass bottles.
“Bro Yu, see the girl?”
“Cantics.”
“Why didn't you ask her out?”
Wang Mingbao put down his cup. His brows furrowed and he turned to look at the red-faced man who was drinking next to them.
One of the men stood up. He is about 1.8 meters tall with broad shoulders and hips—he looks very handsome. He got up and walked towards the two women who were eating at the table.
“Beauty, what do I call you? Let's get to know each other.” A completely unoriginal pick-up line came out. The woman was dumbfounded. He had obviously never experienced such a situation before.
“Sorry, I don't know you,” he replied with a smile.
“You have a beautiful smile. Well, we didn't know each other before, but now we know him.”
“That's right!” one of his friends screamed.
“Apologies.” Again, the same answer.
“Are you really going to be like that, miss?” The man suddenly sat beside her. The woman's face paled.
“He's not interested! Stop being a pest!” Wang Mingbao turned around and said.
When he heard this, Wang Yao laughed and put down his chopsticks. Wei Hai continued to lie on the chair, watching the show.
“Hmph, and who are you? Is she your girl?” The man laughed coldly. The other colleagues at his desk also looked at Wang Mingbao unfriendly, judging Wang Mingbao, Wang Yao, and Wei Hai.
“Protect me if things go bad.” As the atmosphere heated up, Wei Hai could not help but say this. Wang Yao found it very funny.
“Go, let's go,” said the gentle woman to her friend.
“Oke.”
“Don't rush to go!” The big man extended his hand to block their path.
“If you keep doing this, I'll call the police,” said the woman, raising her voice.
“Wah, no. I just want to be friends with you, beautiful. I have no other intentions.”
Wang Mingbao stood up.
“Hey Son, what are you trying to do?” The people at the other table stood up. Thumped. Immediately, one of them stumbled, sitting back in the chair.
“Hey, what's up?” They were both dazed, shaking their heads.
“You've faltered after drinking a little alcohol?”
At this moment, Wang Mingbao had arrived at the side of everyone else. Wang Mingbao was also quite large, and his body was stocky. If everyone else was a bear, then Wang Mingbao was a tiger. He stood there glaring at another man. Who is Wang Mingbao? He was the one in the village who specialized in dealing with rowdy customers, bullies, and those who had nothing to do but walk around making trouble for people. He had never been afraid of them nor was he afraid of this drunk in front of him.
“Acting like a great man!” Three men from the table stood up. One of them was holding a beer bottle in his hand.
Confrontation will happen.
The people around him noticed the commotion. Some of them moved further away, not wanting to get stuck. Others took out their phones and began recording videos, preparing to publish this. Others ordered a few more bottles of alcohol, getting ready to watch the show.
Wang Yao flicked his finger and looked at the three men standing up.
“Have you eaten until you were full?” Wang Mingbao suddenly turned around and asked the beautiful woman.
“Yes, ever,” the girl, who looks a lot like a little boy, replied after a while.
“Then you should hurry back and rest.”
“Ah.” The woman quickly regained her wits and, with her friend, she started walking out. Another man who hit him tried to stop him but was immediately blocked by Wang Mingbao.
