Chapter 3881: Reunion of old friends (1)
Ma Jia’s house was located between the guards and the airport. A row of bungalows was originally built here, but it was later used as the staff dormitory for the couple on the island.
It wasn’t too far from here, whether it was to the guard or the airport weather station.
Of course, the Paradise Island itself was not very large. Even if it was from the easternmost end to the westernmost end, the distance was very close compared to the commuting distance of a few kilometers, ten kilometers, or even dozens of kilometers in big cities.
Xia ruofei drove an off – Road vehicle from the Yanhuang building and arrived at the single – story dormitory where Ma Jia and his wife were staying in a few minutes.
He was holding two bottles of aged wine Eight Immortals in one hand and a food bag in the other, which contained a Whole Smoked Goose.
This was the first time he had seen a specialty store selling authentic Wuyi Mountain’s langu smoked geese on the San Shan Street two or three years ago. He bought more than a dozen in one go. Because it was stored in the spirit map space, the smoked goose was almost the same as when it was just bought. Because it had been placed in an environment rich in spirit Qi for a long time, the taste was even better than before. Moreover, for ordinary people, this kind of food soaked in rich spirit Qi was definitely very good for their bodies.
When Xia ruofei was young, his grandfather had brought him to a small restaurant on the street to eat LAN Gu’s specialty smoked goose. Since then, Xia ruofei had fallen in love with this unique taste, especially the one with the strongest spiciness. The batch of smoked geese he had bought last time were all the spiciest.
However, Xia ruofei remembered that Ma Jia and her husband were good at eating spicy food, so he felt that this smoked goose should be to their taste.
When they saw Xia ruofei, Ma Jia and her husband welcomed him warmly.
“Old company commander, sister – in – Law, one more dish!” Xia ruofei chuckled as he handed the smoked goose to Ma Jia’s lover, Lin Yue.”The smoked goose from Wuyishan. It’s from the cold chain by air. I took it out of the refrigerator this morning to prepare for lunch!”
“Then I’ll take it and cut everything!” Lin Yue did not stand on ceremony with Xia ruofei and said with a smile,”you two brothers can chat first. I’ll just cook two more dishes. You can drink some first!”
“Alright! It’s been hard on sister – in – Law!” Xia ruofei said with a smile.
Ma Jia and Xia ruofei came to the table and sat down. Xia ruofei immediately placed two bottles of wine, Drunken Eight Immortals, on the table and said with a smile,””Old company commander, there’s nothing much to do today, so let’s each take a bottle. No one is to play dirty!”
Ma Jia’s alcohol tolerance was not bad, and one pound of white wine was not enough to make him drunk. However, he still hesitated and said,””Ruofei, I’ll be very busy for the next two days. I still want to go to the guard Bureau to talk to a few brothers in the afternoon!”
Xia ruofei waved his hand and said,”there’s no rush.” You should rest well in the afternoon after drinking. No matter what happens, we can talk about it tomorrow!”
“This …” Ma Jia hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said,”alright!”
After all, he had not drunk with Xia ruofei for a long time. With his alcohol tolerance, he would not lose consciousness even if he drank half a liter. He could still handle some work at home.
The two of them opened their bottles and didn’t pour each other any wine, minding their own business.
After the glass was filled, Xia ruofei raised it and said,””Old company commander, I’ll first offer you a toast! Thanks to your help these past few years, this Peach Blossom Island has been impregnable!”
“Your words make me feel very embarrassed!” Ma Jia said with a bitter smile,”except for a few Pirates who appeared in the first year, who were far away from Paradise Island and were scared away by a few shots, this place has been calm since then. The annual salary of the guards is in the millions of us dollars. I even felt that I had received the reward for nothing!”
At this time, Lin Yue brought the smoked goose that had been cut up and said with a smile,””Ruofei, you guys drink first. I’ll go and make two more dishes!”
“Sister – in – Law, there’s already a lot of food, you don’t have to be busy! Let’s sit down and eat!” Xia ruofei said.
“Don’t worry, it’ll be quick! You guys have a chat!” Lin Yue said with a smile.
Xia ruofei felt that Lin Yue’s mood should be quite good. She must have known that the staff of Peach Blossom Island were about to evacuate. It seemed that Ma Jia had already discussed it with her.
After Lin Yue returned to the kitchen, Xia ruofei asked,””Old company commander, have you told sister – in – Law?”
“I told her yesterday!” Ma Jia nodded.
“What is sister-in-law’s consideration?” Xia ruofei asked.
Ma Jia smiled and said,”she thinks it’s a good choice to leave peach source Island. It’s far away from the prosperity here. It’ll be lonely for a long time. Moreover, her parents are still in their hometown. They can only contact each other through the phone and the Internet. Her parents are getting old day by day. As their children, it’s really a helpless thing that they can’t be filial to their children …”
The external communication on the Peach Blossom Island was completed through satellites, so both the telephone and the Internet charges were relatively high. Although Ma Jia and the others had a good salary, it was impossible for them to fully access the internet, so it was indeed a problem to contact their families.
Xia ruofei nodded and said,”so you two have the same opinion?” Do you want to go back to work or go to Australia?”
“After careful consideration, we’ve decided to return to China to develop our business!” Ma Jia said. Although Sanshan isn’t our hometown, it’s in China, after all, so it’s much more convenient to contact! Besides, we’ve been making a lot of money in the past few years, so it shouldn’t be a problem to buy a big house with a mortgage in Sanshan. When the time comes, I’ll bring my in – laws over. If we have a child in a year or two, life will be perfect!”
