Xia Shande saw that his four grandsons and nine great-grandsons were all playing in front of him. Even some of them were crying. He was very happy and very happy.
I told my old relative Zhou Lin: "There are still so many people and it's so lively. Look how nice it is now."
"Well, that's great!" Zhou Lin thought more and more about going back to his hometown to visit.
Unknowingly, after living with his second daughter for a year, he really felt homesick.
At noon, Luo Xiyun took the nanny Jiang Ningning to work together, and her elder brother also helped with the ingredients.
My cousin-in-law Qi Lixin was an old chef. Later, he was in the kitchen again and he was extremely busy.
The elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law looked at a group of children.
Cousin Zhao Ting and cousin Zhao Yan came close to their grandfather and shouted "grandpa" one by one, which was very affectionate.
"Ting, come here and help." The second brother Xia Yunhui called him.
He and his cousin Xia Zejiang were moving tables and chairs. There were so many people at noon that one table could not be seated.
The brothers discussed it and decided that they would sit at the small table and leave the large dining table to the women and children. This arrangement was quite good.
The elder brother Xia Weiguo and his father Xia Weicheng went for a walk in the park opposite. When they came back, they saw so many children at home and said with a smile: "Our old Xia family is getting bigger and bigger."
"It's good to be bigger. The more people there are, the more prosperous it will be." Grandpa Xia Shande said.
After Qi Lixin finished his work, the brothers helped bring all the dishes to the table and put them on the table. Xia Zejiang set out the bowls and chopsticks, and Xia Zekai went to move out a box of Maotai: "Brothers, today is the Chinese New Year. Let's have fun and drink.
A bit expensive.”
Qi Lixin couldn't help laughing on the spot: "Brother Kai, you are absolutely right, we don't drink good ones, we only drink expensive ones."
"Maotai is just right," said eldest brother Xia Yunfei.
Xia Zekai opened the Moutai without hesitation. He first poured a small cup of wine for his grandfather Xia Shande and his grandfather Zhou Lin, and then poured a cup each for his uncle and father. The rest of the brothers were ready to take care of them.
, each person filled a cup, and when it was not enough, he opened the second bottle.
Luo Xiyun asked Jiang Ningning to squeeze a few bottles of fresh juice and pour it for the children. The six women also poured a glass each.
Grandpa Xia Shande said: "Come on, the New Year is not over yet, let's raise a glass together and wish everyone a better future."
Even though he is about to turn ninety, his thinking is very clear and not confusing at all.
"Grandpa, it's done!" Zhao Ting was more out of his mind. He held up his wine glass and said with a smile.
"You little monkey grandson, get out of here." Xia Shande said to him.
It made everyone burst into laughter.
The meal lasted from noon to afternoon, and there was nothing to do. After finishing the meal, they discussed that they might as well go shopping together and just eat.
Xia Zekai arranged for three cars and they went to a nearby shopping mall together.
After all, grandpa and grandpa were old, so they went to rest after eating.
My parents and uncle didn't like the excitement anymore, so they stayed to take care of the old man and didn't go out.
The children couldn't move their legs in the children's playground. Xia Zekai didn't say anything and went directly to apply for a card and let them play as they wanted.
The brothers were not idle either. There was a billiards hall next to the children's playground. A group of six of them went directly there, and two people per table began to set up a gantry formation.
I had a lot of fun playing with the sound of "ping ping ping pong" the billiard balls hitting each other.
I don't know how much time passed, but Xia Zekai and the others hadn't finished playing. Luo Xiyun came over and said to him: "Zekai, they don't want to play in the children's playground anymore. My eldest sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law and I took them to the third floor to look around.
Go buy some clothes for them, will you go?"
"You guys go ahead. We'll finish this sentence before we talk. We'll call each other later." Xia Zekai looked at his eldest brother, second brother, cousin, and cousin-in-law who were quite engaged in playing, and he didn't let down the fun.
He didn't have all the fun, and was thinking of teaching his brother a lesson later, but who knew that this kid directly killed him and cleared him in one wave.
This made Xia Zekai feel unmotivated.
Luo Xiyun responded and said, "Okay, let's call you later."
Cousin-in-law Qi Lixin finally finished the game. He straightened up and glanced at the children's playground next to him. He didn't see many children or his wife. He asked: "Brother Kai, they are all gone."
?”
"Went to buy clothes. I saw that you were quite engaged in the fight just now. I didn't call you. We will go find them after the fight is over." Xia Zekai said.
Hearing Brother Kai say this, Qi Lixin was no longer anxious. Seeing that his brother-in-law and second brother had not finished the game, he said, "Okay, wait until Zhao Ting and second brother are finished."
The eldest brother put down the club in his hand and walked over and said, "I haven't played in many years, and it's quite exciting."
The corner of Qi Lixin's mouth twitched. If it weren't for his eldest cousin, he would really say: "Your golf skills are really bad. I guess your previous playing skills weren't that good either."
Xia Zekai didn't express his opinion. He just played three games with his brother and lost completely in all three games!
This made Xia Zejiang realize more and more that his brother also had weaknesses, but they were usually suppressed by his strengths and others couldn't see them.
As the second brother put the last black ball into the bag, after their round was over, the second brother straightened up and said: "I haven't played for a long time, and my hands are raw, otherwise I will clear the shot in one shot!"
"..."
None of the brothers said anything. You were bragging, so we just listened.
The brothers went up to the third floor and went to the clothes and toys section.
Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Before classes start, most people use the last time of the holiday to have fun and go crazy.
Xia Zekai and the others squeezed forward in the crowd, and finally reached a shop with "Bala Bala" written on the door plaque.
Xia Zekai saw his wife and several children at the door.
Next door is a local sportswear store in Qicheng, and the sister-in-law is trying on a coat for her niece Xia Yuxi.
The second sister-in-law also found two pieces and tried them on Jingrui and Amy, and asked her sister-in-law Luo Xiyun to give her opinions.
"Sister-in-law, do you think this dress looks good on Qingyu?" Luo Xiyun asked, holding a small white and light yellow sweater in her hand.
There is a bow on the front of the sweater, which looks pretty.
Qingyu seemed to understand that her mother wanted to buy her clothes, and she straightened her body in cooperation, then reached out to grab the clothes from her mother's hand, put them on her body, and started making gestures.
It wasn't over yet, she would look up from time to time to let her mother take a look, and then shout "Ahhhh" to ask the eldest mother and second mother to take a look too.
When she turned around and saw Xia Zekai, she blinked again to show her father.
Luo Xiyun also saw her husband at this time and said: "Zekai, look at your daughter, she is only one year old and she is very beautiful. She will be even better when she grows up."
"Hey!" Xia Zekai took the third child out of the stroller. The little guy leaned into his father's arms and was extremely happy: "Dad...ah!"
"Call daddy!" Xia Zekai corrected his daughter.
But the little guy didn't listen to him at all and was still holding on to his clothes.
"Zekai, you don't want to play ball anymore," Luo Xiyun asked him.
Xia Zekai nodded: "Just play a few games to keep things fresh."
When several little guys saw their father coming, they all ran over and shouted for their father to buy them toys.
"Dad, I just saw a big dinosaur, it was so fierce."
"Dad, please buy me a gun. Sister Tongtong said she also has a big gun that can shoot birds." Amy pestered her father and said.
Hearing Sister Amy talk about the gun, Tongtong became excited and said, "Second uncle, my gun is really big."
Tongtong stretched out her hands and gestured, and she said, "I've even beaten a dog!"
Luo Xiyun wanted to laugh when he mentioned this matter.
I was walking in the community a few years ago. Tongtong had just bought a gun a few days ago. She was fresh, and she didn't know who had a puppy in the community. After seeing it, Tongtong had to identify that dog.
If they are bad, she will shoot them with a gun.
The first shot missed, but the second shot did hit her, causing the dog to start barking at them with its fur standing on end. This was a precursor to getting angry and biting.
, the dog's face also showed a particularly fierce expression, with its teeth exposed.
In the end, it was Geng Yuqin who beat the dog away.
Amy didn't know what was going on. When she heard sister Tongtong said that she had shot a dog with a gun, she became even more excited and shouted: "Dad, hurry up and buy me a gun. I'm going to shoot a dog too."
"-_-||" Xia Yunhui felt that his daughter might have been led astray.
…
On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Xia Zekai, his brother, and parents took his grandfather back to his hometown.
On the other side, Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. also opened classes.
In the new year, they are busy again.
For them, achieving the annual sales target of 30 billion yuan this year is the most important thing, and they can get more bonuses by then.
Taking an extra day or two of rest will not only gain weight but may also cost you money, but there will be no other benefits.
Yan Jinghua came back yesterday, and after meeting with Li Mumu, Lu Huan, and Huang Ying, they began to discuss this year's work.
They analyzed it and concluded that in order to achieve annual sales of 30 billion, as the first- and second-tier markets are approaching saturation, they must continue to develop the lower-tier market in order to have a broader market.
In addition, the only way is to develop overseas markets.
"So, overseas markets are the focus of our work this year. Mr. Lu, Mr. Li, and Mr. Huang, we must do a good job in exporting our products." Yan Jinghua concluded.
Lu Chen nodded: "Mr. Yan, how is the overseas market strategy we discussed years ago going?"
"We are still in contact with the other party. Our products are not well-known overseas, and the other party's recognition is not high." Yan Jinghua said.
"I don't know if the 'Jingtong Cup' global youth football competition in March can bring about big changes in the overseas export of our products." Huang Ying mentioned.
After hearing what she said, several people fell into deep thought.
After a while, Yan Jinghua raised his head and said, "It should be okay."
