Chapter 1211 Lao Tzu is rich (there is another chapter at night)
"Zekai, your grandpa is doing well in the city. He hasn't come back since he left for more than a year. I was thinking about having a drink with Brother Shande during the Chinese New Year, but he didn't come back." There was an old man.
ask him.
The old man's skin has been tanned, his face is full of wrinkles, and his eyes look cloudy, but the affectionate expression on his face has never changed.
Xia Zekai knew him. He was of the same generation as his grandfather. His name was Xia Shanjin, and he was a few years younger than his grandfather.
He called his grandpa, and then said: "My grandpa is doing well over there. It's not his 90th birthday soon. I'll tell my aunt when I come back and let them all go over and play."
"Oh, Brother Shande is already ninety." Xia Shanjin seemed to have forgotten.
Passing the cigarettes in his hand, Xia Zekai opened another box, divided them among them, lit the cigarettes, and started chatting with the villagers.
Xia Zekai is the pride of their Xiajiazhuang, and the village's income has greatly increased because of Xia Zekai.
Nowadays, more and more people are planting dried fruits in Xiajiazhuang. Even some people who went out to work. After hearing about the changes in their families, they hurriedly came back to clean up their few acres of land and started planting.
Dried fruit.
After all, after planting this thing, there is nothing else to do but pull weeds and apply some medicine. It is easier than growing food.
When there is a good harvest, there are still people who come to collect dried fruits. Unlike before, they waited for a good price before selling the grain. It was not hard enough.
"Zekai, go and get busy." When they heard that Xia Zekai was going to stay with his aunt, everyone stopped pestering him.
Brother Shande is celebrating his 90th birthday, which is a big deal for the family. No matter how much they want to chat with Xia Zekai, they would be embarrassed to delay.
Wang Yi drove to see Gao Ming off, but before he came back, Xia Zekai walked all the way south. His aunt's home was at the south end of Xiajiazhuang, not far from Gao Ming's home.
Just after walking for a while, I met Lian Jian, the village party secretary of Xiajiazhuang, riding an electric bicycle from the north.
Wu Jialei was about to defend, but Xia Zekai was afraid of hurting Lian Jian, so he quickly asked Wu Jialei to stop.
"Hey, you, isn't this our Secretary Lian, where are you going?" Xia Zekai joked at him.
Lian Jian said: "I wasn't just looking for you. I just heard them say you were back, so I hurried after you."
Xia Zekai took out another pack of cigarettes and handed it to Lian Jian: "What are you doing with me?"
"What else can I do? I'll treat you to dinner," Lian Jian said.
He said: "You don't come back usually, and I can't find anyone to invite you. Now that you've finally come back, why can't we get together together?"
"It may not work today, let's do it tomorrow." Xia Zekai thought about going to his aunt's place for a meal in the evening, so he didn't agree to Lian Jian's invitation.
Lian Jian also knew that it was Xia Zekai's first day back today and he might not be free. He said, "Okay, then tomorrow, I will call Ze Zhen and a few people in the county, and let's get together."
.”
"Okay!" Xia Zekai agreed,
Lian Jian then noticed that Xia Zekai had been walking. He asked, "Why are you still wandering back? Where is your car?"
"I'm sending Gao Ming off. Isn't he getting married in two days? I'm coming back with him." Xia Zekai explained.
…
Lian Jian finally understood what was going on this time. He said, "I told you, if you are fine, you probably won't come back."
Xia Zekai smiled and did not explain.
After the two separated, Xia Zekai continued walking south, saying hello to the villagers passing by, sharing candies with the children, listening to laughter all the way, and soon arrived at the door of his aunt's house.
"Auntie, are you at home? I'm Zekai." Before entering the door, Xia Zekai shouted at the top of his lungs.
I've done this before, so I'm used to it.
Someone in the house heard the sound and opened the door.
Xia Zekai saw that the person pushing the door was her aunt, and quickly walked over.
The aunt and nephew had endless things to talk about when they met. The aunt also asked about her old father's situation in Qicheng. She was relieved when her nephew said that his old father was doing well in Qicheng.
"Auntie, the third day of March is my grandfather's 90th birthday. I will arrange a car to come back then, and you can go to Qicheng together to have some fun."
The aunt also asked: "Zekai, I really won't cause you any trouble."
"I told you it's okay. Auntie, you can go. The more people go, the happier my grandpa will be." Xia Zekai emphasized.
His aunt then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask your brother Yong, sister Hua, and sister Fang to come back, so we can go see your house over there together."
Xia Zekai laughed for a while.
The aunt also asked him where he would eat at night and where he would stay.
After hearing that her nephew wanted to have a meal at her place, aunt Xia Guiqin went to prepare the meal without saying anything.
He also said: "Your brother Cheng has gone out and he will come back later."
Liu Guangcheng is his eldest cousin. He does projects in the Yellow River section and drives a crawler bulldozer. His monthly income is not low.
Xia Zekai was not in a hurry.
After the eldest aunt finished her work, she called the second aunt and the third aunt in front of her nephew Xia Zekai and told them about going to Qicheng together to celebrate the birthday of her old father.
Both aunts agreed. After all, their nephew Xia Zekai told them about this matter when he came back during the New Year. However, Xia Zekai was in a hurry to return to Qicheng at that time and did not explain it in detail.
On the other side, Gao Ming returned home and was also busy with marriage matters. He also received a call from the village party secretary Lian Jian, asking him to have a meal with Xia Zekai tomorrow, and Lian Jian happily agreed.
Wang Yi also drove his car over, and Xia Zekai gave him the key to the house and asked him to bring someone over to clean it and stay there for the night.
Over at the house, thanks to his buddy Xia Zezhen, he would find someone to clean the house every once in a while, so it wasn't very dirty.
Xia Zekai was not picky either. He slept soundly at his hometown that night.
He slept until about eight o'clock the next morning before waking up. Xia Zekai felt very energetic and had enough sleep this time.
He hadn't slept so soundly in a long time.
Liu Changzheng drove Xia Zekai's Bentley over, and the others did not leave. He stayed to protect Xia Zekai and act as the driver.
Lian Jian contacted several people and finally called Xia Zekai and they booked a place to eat.
Most of these old friends who were hanging out in their hometown came over.
Most of them are around 30 years old. By this time, there are basically differences in whether they have the ability or how successful they can be.
…
At this time, everyone wants to have a relationship with Xia Zekelala. Even if they don't think about themselves, they should think about it for their children.
Among these people, two of them grow dried fruits in their hometown, and one has a car repair and maintenance job in the town.
Zezhen still works at the county highway toll station. Among these people, he is the most leisurely and not very busy. With six insurances and two funds, his income is not low.
While chatting, they all also knew why Xia Zekai came back at this time?
One attended Gao Ming's wedding, and the other came back to inform relatives to wish his grandfather a birthday.
Several people said to him: "Zekai, you are the most carefree among us. Our Xiajiazhuang is also making a fortune thanks to you."
"You can do it, it's almost done." Xia Zekai didn't want to mention this.
Several people laughed.
After drinking, perhaps because of the alcohol, Lian Jian suggested that they go to a sauna and foot massage place in the county together to relax by having their feet massaged. In the end, he was beaten up by a group of people.
Xia Zezhen also shouted that he had only been the village party secretary for a few years, but he had lost his previous character and had been corrupted.
"Old Lian, if you are really messing around, I will tell your wife." I don't know who stood up to seek justice, but a few people didn't believe it at all, and they all laughed in the end.
"Okay, okay, what are you doing? I originally wanted to invite you to be cool for a while, but let's forget it now." Lian Jian muttered.
He is indeed making money now, but in a formal way.
Their family grows dried fruits on more than ten acres of land, and their income from this alone is at least more than 200,000 yuan a year.
In rural areas, there is nothing to spend on daily meals and groceries, and the money is basically pure income.
Now he is even more comfortable as the village party secretary.
