Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

Yuan Siyi picked up the bottle of wine in front of him, poured himself a glass, raised the glass, turned sideways and said to Xia Daqiang who was sitting next to him: "Brother Xia looks like a straightforward person. Come on, brother will drink with you!"

Then he casually pointed at Yuan Heng and Sun Aimin across from him with his chin and said, "These two guys are old, their stomachs can't stand alcohol, and I'll have to take care of them later. Brother Xia, don't mind, they can't compare with you.

Just now I saw how generously you drank from the bottle. It takes decades to develop such a tolerance for alcohol. Eat and drink as much as you want today. I'll treat you, little brother!"

When Xia Daqiang heard this, he thought: Hey, this kid is quite smart.

The two men had only met for a few minutes when they started to treat each other like brothers and chatted enthusiastically, but the faces of the two "old guys" opposite them became even darker.

When the two heard Yuan Siyi address Xia Daqiang, they both unconsciously recalled Xia Daqiang's age, which they had just learned two hours ago. If they remembered correctly, Xia Daqiang was 60 years old this year, right?

Yuan Siyi didn't care what they thought. She held a skewer of barbecue that had just been served and continued to flirt with Xia Daqiang: "Brother Xia, your taste is amazing! If I hadn't had this opportunity to meet you, I really wouldn't have known that there is such an authentic barbecue restaurant here."

It was rare to hear someone compliment him, so Xia Daqiang instantly became elated and said proudly: "Brother, let me tell you this, Brother Xia, I don't have any other skills, but when it comes to eating and drinking, you guys, haha, are all apprentices!"

Looking at Xia Daqiang who was a little bit lost, Yuan Siyi continued to say very politely: "That's right, that's right, look at the barbecue you ordered, Brother Xia, the taste is very good, when it comes to eating, you are this!"

Yuan Siyi raised her thumbs while speaking, and glanced at the mother and three people sitting at other tables, saying, "Brother Xia, go see if my sister-in-law and the others have enough to eat. If not, order a few more plates. It's okay if we order too much and have leftovers. We can pack them up and take them away, so it won't be a waste. Don't embarrass my mother and the others!"

When Xia Daqiang heard that he could pack up if he had more, his eyes lit up immediately. He thought that bringing these women to eat and drink for free was a great bargain, but he didn't expect there would be such a good thing. It seems that this family is not short of money, otherwise the man surnamed Sun would not have agreed so readily and gave him 300 yuan an hour.

This is much better than working by myself. With my crappy job, let alone 300 an hour, I would be thankful if I could earn 300 after working so hard for two days.

"Brother, you are really thoughtful and don't treat Brother Xia and your sister-in-law as outsiders. Brother Xia, I will definitely be your friend!"

As Xia Daqiang was speaking, he prepared to get up and order some more barbecue and drinks for the table of the mother and her two daughters.

The tables in this restaurant are the kind that can be used for both grilling and hot pot. In addition to traditional barbecue, diners can also go to the food area to take various raw ingredients and grill or hot pot them themselves. This food is charged by weight.

This kind of table has a characteristic that the space below is quite tight, and it is a bit inconvenient to get in and out. Especially for people like Xia Daqiang who have a big beer belly, the posture is a bit uncomfortable when getting out of the seat.

Xia Daqiang had just stood up and moved a step outside when he suddenly felt his leg being scratched by metal. He unconsciously exclaimed "Ouch" and then cursed.

Yuan Siyi quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Xia?"

Xia Daqiang waved his hand: "It's okay, I don't know what scratched it. I have to talk to the person in charge about this broken chair later!"

When Xia Daqiang was talking, he didn't check the scratched area carefully. With thick skin and flesh like him, he had already gotten used to it by getting a few cuts when he did nothing. However, he could consider extorting three to five hundred yuan from the store.

Yuan Siyi, however, was very worried. She glanced at Xia Daqiang's knee and said, "Brother Xia, your leg is bleeding!"

Afterwards, Yuan Siyi took two napkins without saying a word to wipe the blood on Xia Daqiang's knee, and unnoticeably pulled out a thumbtack from under Xia Daqiang's seat, wrapped it in a tissue, and quickly passed it from under the table to Sun Aimin opposite. Sun Aimin then put the tissue and the thumbtack into the compartment of his backpack.

Xia Daqiang didn't pay any attention to the little movements of Yuan Siyi and Sun Aimin just now. After watching Yuan Siyi use the tissue in her hand, she took out a new tissue to wipe the blood for herself, and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, this little injury is nothing!"

To be honest, Xia Daqiang felt a little touched by someone's concern and care, and couldn't help but give Yuan Siyi a "good guy card".

Good man Yuan Siyi was quite proud of the mission he had just successfully completed. On the way here, the three of them were discussing how to obtain samples for genetic testing from Xia Daqiang without anyone noticing.

Several plans were originally formulated.

The first is to find the right time to get Xia Daqiang's hair. However, men's hair is usually shorter and difficult to pull. Even if it is easy to pull the hair off, it is not easy to do. In addition, men basically do not lose their hair like many women, and they can find fallen hair on their clothes at any time.

The second plan was to get Xia Daqiang's blood sample. Yuan Siyi first thought of the skewers used in barbecue restaurants. Nowadays, many barbecue restaurants use metal skewers, which are sharper. When holding the skewers, she could pretend to accidentally scratch Xia Daqiang's skin, and then use paper to wipe the wound for him.

But after arriving at the barbecue restaurant, Yuan Siyi saw the leather seats in the barbecue restaurant and had a new idea. It's always a good idea to be prepared.

He took out a small box of pins from his backpack. These were what he usually used to fix documents, and they came in handy at this moment.

The first time she saw Xia Daqiang, who was wearing slippers and shorts and had several centimeters long greasy hair, a little man who looked up to the sky and shouted appeared in Yuan Siyi's mind: God is really helping me!!! Ahahahaha!!!

However, obtaining Xia Daqiang's hair or blood sample was not the only purpose of Sun Aimin and his companions. They also planned to take the opportunity to extract some information from Xia Daqiang and learn more about the situation that they did not know yet.

After all, knowing yourself and your enemy will only benefit you.

However, before he could get to the stage of asking questions, Xia Daqiang had just come out of the booth and walked into the aisle when he saw three young men who had just entered the room walking towards him.

When Xia Daqiang saw them, he wanted to run away like a mouse seeing a cat.

However, those people lined up in a row horizontally and stood very tightly, blocking the way out of the gate, leaving Xia Daqiang with no escape.

Xia Daqiang was also a flexible person. He didn't want to run away. He nodded and bowed as he handed cigarettes to the three young men.

"Brothers, have you eaten yet? There is an empty seat here. Can you eat something here? I'll pay for it!" Xia Daqiang said generously.

Among the three young men, the leader had an afro, wore a colorful jacket, tight nine-point jeans, socks with large Northeastern flowers showing at his ankles, and a pair of white sneakers with yellow lining and black on his feet. His look was as funny as it could be.

It's summer time and the temperature outside is already 37 or 38 degrees. Isn't he hot?

Many diners in the restaurant couldn't help but take a few more glances at this person when they saw him, and then they all started whispering.
