Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son
Chapter 16 Xia Daqiang Promotes Intangible Cultural Heritage Wine Table Culture
After agreeing on the time and place of the meeting, Sun Aimin called Yuan Heng after hanging up the phone and gave him a brief account of the situation.
Although Yuan Heng lives in Jiangjin City, he currently lives with the elderly couple of the Yuan family.
The fact that Sun Xiaohao was terminally ill and not his biological child was kept a secret from the Yuans, so when Sun Aimin came to Jiangjin City, he did not stay at Yuan Heng's house to prevent the truth from being exposed. Instead, he booked a hotel near the hospital, which made it more convenient to go back and forth to the hospital.
After listening to Sun Aimin's description, Yuan Heng's first impression was that Xia Daqiang was not a good person.
He was worried that Sun Aimin would be at a disadvantage if he went alone, so he asked his son Yuan Siyi, who had just returned from another place and was on annual leave at home, to drive to pick up Sun Aimin, and the three of them went to the appointment together.
When young Yuan Jie saw Yuan Siyi appear in the image, she did not recognize her at first.
In her impression, Yuan Siyi was still a young boy who had just entered high school. He had a very cheerful personality and never worried his parents about his studies.
Every time I meet her aunt, I take the initiative to talk about study problems.
Unexpectedly, I now have the demeanor of a workplace elite.
It seems that every member of the family has changed a lot in these twenty years.
Yuan Siyi arrived at the hotel, picked up Sun Aimin and asked, "Uncle, where is the place you met with that person? Tell me more and I will reserve a seat."
"It's in Jiansheli, in Gangxi District. He said there's a Xiaopeng BBQ at the entrance of that community!"
"Okay! Let's set off right away!"
Yuan Siyi took her seat and headed straight for the agreed location.
On the way, the three of them reanalyzed everything that had happened since Sun Xiaohao's search for his relatives.
Sun Aimin said: "We didn't personally watch the sampling of Xia Daqiang, so the accuracy of the report has yet to be verified! And when I called him, it felt like he was not in a hurry to understand Xiaohao's situation. He was quite bold in asking for money, and he didn't act like he had found his own son.
So I thought, let’s collect another sample ourselves and send it for testing. I feel like things have been going too smoothly these past two days, which makes me feel uneasy.”
Yuan Heng nodded and responded, "I do feel that things have been a little strange these past two days, but I can't tell what's wrong. We should be more cautious!"
"Dad, uncle, your analysis is so reasonable! It's better to be safe than sorry. Especially for such a big event, we can't just listen to the hospital's one-sided statement. And that report can also be faked. There have been such news in the past two years.
You tell me what to do, I will follow your instructions and make sure to complete the tasks you two have assigned me clearly!" Yuan Siyi said.
As they were talking, they soon arrived at the agreed location.
The big words "Xiaopeng BBQ" come into view. The store looks to be about two hundred square meters. Although it is a barbecue restaurant, the decoration is very stylish.
Although it was noon, there were already quite a few diners sitting in the restaurant.
"You know what, this Xia guy is quite good at choosing places!" Yuan Siyi said with a smile.
The three of them walked into the barbecue restaurant together and sat down in an empty seat near the door.
Sun Aimin took out his cell phone and called Xia Daqiang: "Mr. Xia, I'm at Xiaopeng BBQ, at table 5."
"Got it. I'll be there soon!" Xia Daqiang responded and hung up the phone in a hurry.
About ten minutes later, a noisy voice came from the door: "Eat as much as you want today, no need to save money for me, someone's treating!"
The voice came from Xia Daqiang. After hearing it, Sun Aimin and the other two all looked unhappy: Do we look like we are being taken advantage of?
When Xia Daqiang approached, he found that behind him was a middle-aged woman dressed in fancy clothes, a boy of fifteen or sixteen, and a girl of about ten years old.
The two children's faces are very similar to the woman's, and it seems that they are both born to that woman.
Xia Daqiang led them straight to table 5 and found that there were already three people sitting there. He asked in confusion, "Isn't this the table reserved by Mr. Sun?"
Sun Aimin glanced at Xia Daqiang and the mother and her two children behind him and said, "Mr. Xia, right? I'm Sun Aimin! Are these your family members?"
"Yes, that's right, my wife and kids! It's time for dinner, so I'll take them out to eat. They have small stomachs and can't eat many skewers.
300 per hour is extra, we agreed on this in advance! I am also a real person, I will not deliberately delay time to make you spend money, let's talk about it while we eat!"
Xia Daqiang's words left Sun Aimin and the other two speechless.
Just based on this one sentence, this style of behavior that does not treat oneself as an outsider is a complete rogue.
Before Sun Aimin and his friends could respond, Xia Daqiang had already asked the woman to find an empty seat nearby. Because the seat that Sun Aimin and his friends had found was a four-person booth, it couldn't accommodate so many people.
Xia Daqiang unceremoniously picked up the menu and began to order food. He also asked Sun Aimin and the others in a pretentious manner: "These women came with me. Do you mind if they share the bill with this table?"
Sun Aimin was extremely disgusted with Xia Daqiang, but he tried hard not to show his dissatisfaction.
Moreover, Sun Aimin captured the key information in Xia Daqiang’s previous sentence. Xia Daqiang said that the mother and children were his wife and children. Is it possible that they did not get married but had a child?
If it is confirmed that this is really Sun Xiaohao's biological father, the boy would be a very good bone marrow donor. After all, Xia Daqiang is already sixty years old. Even if he is a successful match with Sun Xiaohao, he basically does not meet the conditions for donating bone marrow.
If he could find a chance for Sun Xiaohao to survive, spending a few hundred dollars more would be no big deal for him.
Soon, Xia Daqiang ordered more than a dozen plates of barbecue and told the mother and her two children sitting at the table next to him to order whatever they wanted.
In addition to the barbecue, Xia Daqiang also ordered a few bottles of beer, as if he was going to eat and drink to his heart's content today.
Before the barbecue was served, Xia Daqiang had already opened a bottle of beer and drank it directly from his mouth.
After taking a big gulp of beer, half of the bottle was gone.
After putting down the bottle, Xia Daqiang opened three more bottles of wine and placed one in front of each of Yuan Heng, Sun Aimin, and Yuan Siyi. He said bluntly, "Don't be polite, brothers, let's drink together! This barbecue without wine is a waste of time! Besides, we have this kind of fate, we must drink together!"
Yuan Siyi, who was sitting next to him, listened to Xia Daqiang's skillful promotion of the intangible cultural heritage of the drinking table, then looked at his father and brother-in-law with gloomy faces opposite him, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Yuan Siyi estimated that his father and uncle-in-law had never dealt with such a scoundrel in their entire lives, so it seemed that he had to save the situation.
