Chaos

In the early morning, Li Kang was wearing formal clothes and walking to the front hall, just in time to meet Li Kong, the son of the third old lady, also wearing a dark robe and mandarin jacket.

Li Kang is the youngest son of Li Heng, the eldest brother of the Li family and Li Gong's elder brother. He has thick eyebrows, high nose and peach eyes, and tanned skin. He got drunk and had sexual intercourse with his close maid when Li Heng was discussing business in Hubei. Li Heng planned to marry him when he went back. She was the third wife, but the girl probably disappeared before returning to Shanghai because she was afraid.Mr. Heng asked people to look for it for a long time, until one day a man came to look for Li Heng, who came to Wuhan again with a two-year-old child in his arms. He claimed to be the fifth uncle of that girl. The child was born by a girl, and he brought an old purse. And some girl's clothes, but the girl has died of illness.Li Heng was very happy to have a living child. At that time, Li Heng's third wife had just had a miscarriage for half a year, so she gave Li Kang to the third wife to raise him.Because he has been away all the time, lost his biological mother, and Mr. Heng passed away early, Li Kang was not taken seriously at home. Before he went to university, he stayed with the workers at the dock, and it has been many years now.

Li Kong is the son of Li Gong's sister Li Qi, who just graduated from college and came back to learn things.

"Brother Kang, where are you going?" Li Kong has almost never seen Li Kang wearing a robe. Everyone in Shanghai knows that Li Kang goes to the dock every day to eat and work with the porters. white jacket.

"Take you to the factory, what, you're not feeling well?"

"That's not true. It's just that I haven't seen you wearing a long robe, and I find it rare." Li Kong smiled and looked at Kang's clothes carefully. "By the way, didn't Brother Lu take me there?"

"He went to Wanchun Tower for a drink yesterday, and he came back in the middle of the night. He hasn't woken up yet. I'll take his place today."

Li Kong said "Oh", and suddenly asked with some worry: "Will Mr. Gong blame him?"

Li Kang patted Li Kong with a smile, and said: "No, you just learn your skills, don't worry!"

Then the two got into the car one after the other and drove towards the factory.

When the car arrived at the factory, a batch of timber happened to arrive.

The foreman commanded the unloading of the goods, and saw the car driving outside the door from a distance, so he hurried up to greet him: "Master Kang! Master Kong!"

"Thank you!" Kang replied with a smile.

The foreman looked behind the two of them, leaned next to Li Kang and asked cautiously, "Didn't you say that Master Lu will come?"

"Master Lu has something to delay, I will bring Master Kong today." Li Kang was not surprised by the foreman's fear.

The foreman breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up and led them to the factory.

Li Kong was listening all the time, and when they finished speaking, he said as he walked, "Brother, I want to ask you something."

"What's the matter? Ask!"

"Is it because you are disgraced outside every day, are you here to move wood with them?"

After hearing this, Li Kang lowered his head and smiled, instead of answering directly, he asked instead: "Didn't your elder sister Xi tell you?"

"I told you, but she said it was a fight, I don't believe it."

Li Kang smiled lowly, and said, "Fighting...you should really learn from your sister how to make up nonsense!"

The Li Xi mentioned by Li Kang is the daughter of the third old lady Li Qi, who is one year older than Li Kong.

"What the hell is that doing?"

"Moving goods, there are many things, and the dust is heavy."

"Isn't there a mover? You move it yourself!"

Li Kong actually knew that he was moving goods at the pier before, and he just wanted to take the opportunity to ask. He only heard that Kang had been at the pier for many years, but he couldn't find out why he was there all the time, unless others told him.

Li Kang didn't rush to answer, just smiled, and finally said: "Some things don't need to be so clear, you will understand when the time comes."

While talking, the foreman led them to a place piled with various kinds of wood, and Li Kang began to explain them one by one.

"Behind the factory is the warehouse. The goods will be transported to the warehouse first, and then transported from the warehouse to here for processing, so the warehouse and the factory are the heart of our Lishi Timber. This is camphor, you smell it, it has a fragrance, go up Didn't you ask why there is a fragrance in the bamboo garden of the third old lady? That's the reason. Her tea table is made of camphor wood. These are sandalwood, and you can see them in the shop later... ..."

By the time I came out of the last woodcarving shop, the sun had already set in the west.

Li Kang looked at the sky and said to Li Kong: "You go back first, I'm going to Fuyi Building, I have some things to do."

"Okay. Does the third wife know?"

"she knows."

"Then you should come back earlier, don't let her worry!"

"Okay." Li Kang replied with a smile, Li Kong was really a worry in his heart.

The car drove in the direction of Li's house, and Li Kang walked to Fuyi Building alone.
