Old Mrs. Sun paused, turned her head and looked at him in surprise, "Let's go to your great uncle's house for dinner?"

"Well, he invited me just now."

"You're really generous. He hasn't invited anyone to his house for dinner in years." Old Mrs. Sun said with a smile, "I'll pack some food for you to bring to him when you go there later."

"No need to bring food. He said he only wants to eat vegetables at noon, no rice." Li Xu then asked, "Grandma, do you still have the tea I sent you earlier? If you do, I'd like to take a pack first."

Although he didn't say it clearly, Old Lady Sun knew it was for Captain Sun as soon as she heard it. "Yes, come with me, I'll get it for you."

After saying that, she added two pieces of firewood to the stove and then walked out.

Li Xu saw this and quickly stepped forward to support her, saying, "Grandma, when my uncles come back, tell them to come to my uncle's house to find me after dinner."

He wanted to talk to his two uncles about his cousins, but he didn't expect that after waiting on the shore for so long, no one on the boat came down.

If the same thing happened in the afternoon, he wouldn't have that much time to wait, so he wanted to take advantage of the lunch break to talk about things.

Old Mrs. Sun heard that he had not yet spoken to his two sons, so she nodded in agreement.

After a while, Li Xu took an oil-paper bag and walked out of the Sun family yard. He asked two people on the way before he arrived at the door of Captain Sun's house.

Although the door was half open, he did not go in directly, but knocked on the door.

After the door rang, a woman's voice came from the yard, "Come in."

Li Xu then walked in and saw a middle-aged woman sitting in the yard with two basins beside her. He couldn't see what was in one of the basins.

The contents of the other basin were clearly visible, but they surprised him a little.

Because there was a rooster inside, and it looked like they were about to pluck its feathers.

You don't need to ask to know that this chicken is definitely used to entertain himself.

To be honest, he felt it was a bit too grand.

There was a stone slab in front of the woman, with four turtles with their heads shrunken on it. At this time, she held a chopstick in her left hand and poked the mouth of one of the turtles.

Perhaps because of the pain, the turtle bit it.

Then the woman pulled the chopsticks back, but the turtle refused to let go, and its neck was stretched out.

Seeing this, the woman grabbed the kitchen knife in her right hand and started chopping.

The turtle was split into two pieces, and the stone slab was covered with blood.

Then she raised her head, looked at Li Xu in front of the courtyard gate, and said with a smile, "What are you standing there for? Come in quickly. Your uncle is waiting for you in the main hall."

Seeing her old face, Li Xu thought she should be Captain Sun's daughter-in-law, so he respectfully called out, "Auntie."

"Hey." The woman responded and hurriedly urged, "Come in quickly. We can have a good chat after I'm done."

Li Xu responded and walked towards the main room.

At this time, Captain Sun was sitting on a stool, puffing smoke from his pipe.

Seeing him come in, she quickly took the pipe from her mouth, stood up and greeted him, "Sit down, sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water."

Without waiting for Li Xu to speak, he walked over and poured a glass of boiled water. While bringing it over, he explained, "I don't have any sugar at home, so just make do with this."

Li Xu took the water cup with his left hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, I really don't like drinking sugary water."

Then he stretched out his right hand and handed the gift over, "Uncle, this is a gift for you."

Captain Sun didn't take it, but asked hesitantly, "Is this for your grandma's family?"

He thought that this gift was brought by Li Xu to Old Mrs. Sun, and since he suddenly had to treat everyone to a dinner, it could only be sent to him.

How could he accept this?

Li Xu understood what he meant and quickly explained, "I came here in a hurry today and didn't bring any gifts. This is something I borrowed from my grandma's house. I'll return it to them in a few days."

After hearing this, Captain Sun had no reason to refuse.

He took the oil-paper bag and casually placed it on the table beside him, saying with satisfaction, "You are indeed a good boy. You are polite and well-mannered in doing things."

Li Xu smiled even more happily, "If you praise me like this, then I will take it seriously."

Captain Sun burst into laughter.

Seeing that he was laughing even happier than himself, Li Xu took a sip of boiled water. Feeling it was a little hot, he put it on the table and said, "Granduncle, there's something I've always wanted to ask you, but there were too many people around at the time, so it was a bit inconvenient. I wonder if you can help me solve the doubts in my heart now?"

"you say."

"I just want to ask, they're repaying the Sun family's favor, but it seems like you're giving the profits from those ships to outsiders. What's your thinking? Aren't you afraid that the rest of the Sun family will be unhappy?"

"You kid, you might be a bit of a jerk, but you're a bit cunning." The smile on Captain Sun's face instantly faded. He glanced at him and explained, "I'm not only the head of the Sun family now, but also the captain of Sunjia Beach. If I don't bring outsiders along for this good deal of money-sharing, can the Sun family and them still coexist peacefully? Will they still listen to me?"

What's more, if this favor is not used, it is not certain whether it will be used in the future. Back then, they were taken in because of this craft, but twenty years have passed and it was not until this year that they were given the opportunity to resume their old business. Now, there is only one old man and two middle-aged people left in their family who can make boats. When they pass away, it is estimated that no one will know this craft. In this case, it is better to use this favor to win people's hearts.

As for the rest of the Sun family, they have no objections. I've already thought of an idea that will allow them to earn more money without realizing it, and will also leave those outsiders speechless."

After hearing this, Li Xu pondered for a while, then gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely, "Uncle, you are very smart."

It can be said that Captain Sun took the interests of all parties into consideration in this wave of operations.

And it also won the hearts of the people.

The clan members feel that he can seek more benefits for themselves, and people from other families will also feel that he is not a person who eats alone, and will naturally be more willing to listen to him in the future.

And all he had to do to achieve this was a favor that would become invalid after it expired.
