When Li Mingyu took Li Jianghai back to his uncle's house, the sun was setting and the sky was still burning with orange-red sunset glow.

The stuffy air was like a piece of wet snot stuck on one's face, so disgusting.

As soon as Li Mingyu pushed open the rusty iron door, the salty aroma of stir-fried sour bamboo shoots and pork belly mixed with the smell of coal balls came out, making him feel hungry.

"Ah, we're finally home!" Li Mingyu exclaimed from the bottom of his heart!

My aunt Zhuang Fangtao heard the noise and popped her head out of the kitchen wearing a floral apron: "You're finally back! Wash your hands and have dinner!"

As you turn the corner of the entrance, you will see a large round table filled with dishes: kelp and pork ribs soup is steaming, fried peanuts are spread out on a golden enamel plate, and the most eye-catching thing is the pot of red braised prawns in the middle!

The ceremony is even more grand than the New Year celebration in my hometown.

Li Jianghai's stomach rumbled loudly, starting the empty city plan.

"Is everything going well?" When the uncle saw Li Jianghai, he quickly pulled him over to sit down and chat!

"It went smoothly, how could it not? I finally learned a lot today, all of them are great stuff! The tape recorder has four speakers! In the mall, the elevator went up by itself!

I never dared to imagine that things have developed to this point! Today I finally opened my eyes!"

"I told you guys to come and see it a long time ago, why didn't you come?" Li Jianguo said, crunching his peanuts. "Why didn't Guifang come with us this time? We told her to come to Haicheng and have a look..."

Li Jianghai slapped his thigh. "Guifang would be so scared if she saw an escalator! Didn't you see her look the first time she saw a car? She almost climbed onto the roof to sit and watch!"

"So you should come!"

Li Jianguo popped open a bottle of beer and slammed it down on the table. "There's a new Ferris wheel in Binhai Park. One spin gives you a view of the entire bay! Isn't Guifang's favorite to watch the sea?"

As he was speaking, Zhuang Fangtao came out of the kitchen carrying stir-fried pork with sour bamboo shoots. The sour and spicy smell made his nose itch. "When can't we talk? If we don't eat now, the food will get cold!"

As he said this, he stomped the enamel basin onto the table. The table of Hong Shuangxi was already full.

Li Jianghai looked at the remaining dishes, his eyes glued to the table, and he was still speaking hypocritically, "Oh, one or two dishes would be enough, why so many? It's such a waste!"

"No, no! This is your first time here, we have to treat you well!" Li Jianguo smiled and turned back to shout into the house: "Xingqi, go and move the fan out!"

"Okay!" Li Xingqi, who had just come down from upstairs, went back to move the fan!

After Li Jianguo gave Li Xingqi his instructions, he explained to Li Jianghai, "It's been a typhoon these past two days, that's why it's been so gloomy.

Everything is good in Haicheng, except the weather!

Summer alone takes up eight months of the year! It's incredibly hot right from the start, and typhoons are a constant presence. Look, Typhoon Haige is coming in a couple of days!

As he was speaking, Li Xingqi had already brought out the fan.

Li Jianghai looked up and was shocked again: Wow, it turned out to be a large three-dimensional floor-standing fan with a metal cover and a high base. It made a whirring sound when it turned. It was completely different from the small ceiling fan he had seen in the supply and marketing cooperative!

Everyone chatted and laughed as they sat around the table and ate.

At the dinner table were Li Jianghai and his son, his elder brother-in-law Li Jianguo, his elder aunt Zhuang Fangtao, his second nephew Li Xingqi, his nephew's wife Liu Mei, as well as his younger daughter Li Rongrong and his son Li Rui!

The whole family was having a great time and the place was packed!

Li Jianghai glanced around the table and asked casually, "Huh? Xingsheng hasn't come back yet? Aren't you going to have dinner with us?"

Zhuang Fangtao was distributing bowls and chopsticks to everyone skillfully.

Hearing this, he looked up and smiled, "He went to the port city to trade some things and said he would be back today.

It's probably time for us to arrive by now." She said as she glanced out the door.

Suddenly, she said mysteriously in a low voice, "Guess what he did? Now he's in big trouble!"

She made a brick-sized gesture with her fingers and said, "I bought this—wow, it's as big as a brick."

As he spoke, he wanted to raise his voice to the sky, "It's just like shouting slogans in the production team!"

She said she disliked it, but her eyes flashed with unconcealable pride, and she added: "When he comes back, I will ask him to take it out and give it to you to enjoy!

That thing is very valuable, and he usually carries it around like a treasure."

The whole family sat together, and the sounds of bowls and chopsticks colliding, laughter, and chewing mixed together, making it very lively.

Li Jianghai and Li Jianguo were drinking wine with a plate of braised fish, their faces slightly flushed, their voices unconsciously rising as they talked about how Haicheng was different from Ji City!

It seemed as if they were not chatting, but rather competing to see who could speak louder than the other.

As he spoke, Li Jianguo didn't forget to pick up some food for Li Jianghai, "Try this, it's a specialty of our Haicheng!"

"Eat more ribs. It's not easy standing up all day!"

Everyone was eating and chatting, and Li Mingyu mentioned the incident of the "bag-losing passenger" he encountered on the road today as a gossip.

As soon as this topic came up, it attracted the attention of everyone at the table!

"It's better if you don't mention it. My heart is still beating fast when you mention it!"

Before Li Mingyu could elaborate, Li Jianghai put down his chopsticks and spoke first, with a bit of fear and embarrassment on his face.

"If Mingyu hadn't pulled me back today, I would have almost fallen into the trap of that 'bag-loser'! I would have lost face and even lost a fortune!"

"Tell me quickly, what's going on?" Zhuang Fangtao immediately put down the soup spoon and leaned forward unconsciously.
