Since the medium-sized ship had been given to Chen Ke and his group, Nie Zhao and his party also had to take Master Dong's ship back.
Master Dong was overjoyed, and although he was tired and sleepy, he insisted on boarding the ship himself. He even told Chen Rou that he would not sleep tonight and wanted to have a good chat with her, which meant saying some bad things about Master Er.
His men couldn't tell anything, but Song Yuanchao, who was more experienced, quietly said to Chen Rou, "I asked the clinic for some medicine, including morphine and aspirin. It's just what we usually need; Master Dong doesn't need it, but I think he's in trouble today."
After spending most of the day in the cave and only resting for half a day after coming out, Master Dong is indeed very likely to collapse.
Chen Rou gave Song Yuanchao a thumbs up: "Brother Song, you are so thoughtful."
Song Yuanchao chuckled: "Of course."
Nie Zhao boarded the ship first and was already on board, reaching out to pull Chen Rou when Chen Ke arrived: "A Rou!"
Seeing his anxious expression, Chen Rou thought something serious had happened, so she turned around and got off the boat again, asking, "What happened?"
Chen Ke checked his watch and said, "Let's wait another half hour. I'm worried about damaging your big sofa, coffee table, refrigerator, and water dispenser. I'll have them move them slowly, and you can take them all with you in a bit."
Nie Zhao heard this, and immediately said, "Those are for you too, you don't need to move them anymore."
Chen Ke was about to decline, but seeing Chen Rou purse her lips and shake her head, he had no choice but to change his mind and say, "How about this, we'll lock the restaurant up. If you come in the future, we'll unlock it again. If you don't come, it will remain as it is."
What annoys Chen Rou most about her father is that he is not only willing to endure hardship, but also enjoys it, and he has absolutely no idea how to enjoy life.
It's just a sofa. They can sit on it or take a nap whenever they want. Why do they have to lock it up?
Chen Rou was annoyed and almost started cursing, but when she looked back at Chen Ke's dark, long face with strong eyebrows and resolute eyes, she suddenly realized that what he had was backbone, the education he received in the army. Poverty is glorious, and hedonism is shameful, especially when you are abroad, because your words and actions represent the country, so you have to be even more careful.
Chen Rou wished her father could be like Yue Zhongqi, who not only knew how to speak eloquently but also how to be flexible.
But upon further reflection, she felt relieved.
The reason the organization appointed him as the leader was to steer the ship and control the overall direction.
His upright character enabled the entire team to be invincible.
She sighed softly and said, "Okay, I'll lock it up and use it when I come back next time."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ke suddenly laughed.
He has a set of neat, white teeth; when he smiles, they look like black toothpaste.
It's no wonder Yue Zhongqi is interested in Chen Rou; he feels the same way. When he looks at her, he always feels a sense of pride, worry, and love, as if he's watching his own daughter grow up. During the few days she's been around, Chen Ke has been in a state of inexplicable excitement.
Of course, she deserves attention and admiration. She is so dazzling and powerful, just like the sun at eight or nine in the morning, as Chairman Mao said. She is leaving, and Yue Zhongqi is sadly hiding in his room smoking, refusing to come out.
Chen Ke came to see people off, his eyes also filled with warmth.
He always had an urge to pat her on the shoulder, touch her face, and tell her how wonderful she was.
But he couldn't; that would be too abrupt. He didn't know when they would meet again after this parting.
But one sentence from her suddenly made Chen Ke happy. Regardless of when the next time would be, there would be a next time. When she came again, she could lie on her comfortable sofa and walk barefoot on her expensive carpet, right?
Chen Rou suddenly remembered something, waved her hand on the boat, and then bent down to hand Chen Ke something: "Take this to Captain Yue."
The ship was about to depart, and Chen Ke said, "Take care of yourself."
He also said, "Exercise regularly, and remember to eat well too!"
It was completely dark, and the ship's lights were off. With a long whistle, the ship was about to set sail. Chen Rou didn't speak, not because she didn't want to, but because she suddenly remembered Zhu Ziqing's "The Back View," which she had studied in middle school. Listening to Chen Ke's simple and earnest words of advice, she suddenly truly felt what a father's love was like.
...
After a moment of sadness, Yue Zhongqi rallied. He and a group of men had just disassembled Boss Nie's leather sofa and carried it out of the ship's cabin, intending to transfer it to a small boat before sending it to Master Dong's cargo ship.
Just as they were taking a breather, Chen Ke arrived and said, "Put the sofa back."
Yue Zhongqi is a city dweller and knows sofas best. In recent years in mainland China, most people just make a wooden frame, put a few tattered clothes inside, cut a few pieces of sponge to pad it, cover it with a cloth, and that's a fashionable and stylish sofa.
But that kind of sofa is nothing compared to Boss Nie's sofa; it's practically a grandson.
His sofa was made of steel hubs inlaid with solid wood. It's hard to say what kind of foam was inside, but the leather was top-quality first-grain cowhide. All those things combined made the sofa not just heavy, but incredibly heavy. Plus, the stairs were narrow, and they were afraid of bumping or knocking it over. It took them a long time to move it out in groups. Then Chen Ke said he wanted to put it back. Why should he?
Yue Zhongqi had spent all his living expenses on buying small cakes, so he could only roll tobacco in newspaper. He instinctively reached for his bag and realized he was in trouble; he had run out of tobacco. He crumpled up the newspaper and threw it away. He asked, "Captain Chen, aren't you bullying me too much?"
However, his expression immediately changed again, because Chen Ke said, "Mrs. Nie said that we can use it when she comes later."
Yue Zhongqi subconsciously picked up the newspaper and then touched the tobacco: "Look at you, why didn't you say so earlier? Yes, yes, we should have put it back and locked it up. When Mrs. Nie comes, we can let her stay there just like that."
