Xia Zekai asked Mo Ting'en, the owner of Jingxin Tea House, to pack five portions of matcha cakes, which was quite a lot.
Luo Xiyun divided it, pointed at two of them and said, "Zekai, now send these two to our parents so that our grandpa and grandpa can try them too."
"This thing is not hard and the sweetness is relatively light, which is suitable for them to eat." Luo Xiyun said.
Xia Zekai said "Hmm", picked up the two portions and prepared to leave. When Tongtong saw her father was about to go out again, she quickly chased after him: "Dad, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to deliver matcha cakes to your grandpa and grandpa, will you go?" Xia Zekai lowered his head and asked her.
There was still a little light green debris stuck to the corner of Tong's mouth. She shook her head and said, "I won't go. If I go, my sister will eat up all the delicious food at home. I have to go and eat."
After saying that, Tongtong ran back to the villa to grab matcha cakes with her sister.
"..." Xia Zekai glanced at Tongtong's young figure helplessly, and there was really nothing he could do to her.
Wang Yi followed him and walked to the villa in the west. He met several people on the way, and they all smiled and nodded to each other as a greeting.
When they arrived at the villa where their parents lived, Xia Zekai shouted before he even entered: "Dad, Mom."
"Why are you shouting? I'm not deaf." His father, Xia Weicheng, was packing up the fishing line. When he saw his son coming, he scolded him.
Xia Zekai smiled, not as knowledgeable as his father: "Dad, where are my grandpa and grandpa?"
"I was watching the news in the house, and it was talking about the sharp rise in Bitcoin, but I didn't understand it anyway. Zekai, do you know what Bitcoin is?" Xia Weicheng asked without looking back.
He was still concentrating on packing up his fishing line. When he was fishing two days ago, the fishing line was extremely dirty and tangled together.
Xia Zekai suddenly heard his father ask this question and was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he heard the word "Bitcoin" from his father's mouth. It felt a bit inconsistent, but it was really interesting.
He had never paid attention to Bitcoin during this period, let alone the news. When his father asked, Xia Zekai explained a few words to him: "Simply put, Bitcoin is a decentralized virtual currency.
Digital currency, but now you can use it like money to buy things."
Xia Weicheng became more and more confused as he listened. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't tell me this. It makes your head dizzy."
Hearing what his father said, Xia Zekai found it quite interesting.
Xia Weicheng also asked him: "What are you doing here again this afternoon? Are you eating? Your mother hasn't finished making dumplings yet!"
"-_-||" Xia Zekai was speechless. He came with him and left such an impression on his father.
Lifting up the 'Matcha Crispy' in his hand, Xia Zekai said: "When I went to the teahouse to drink tea today, I tasted the dessert they made and it was pretty good and tasted good, so I bought some more and brought them to you.
I’ll take two boxes to try.”
He said: "My grandpa and grandpa can also chew it."
"Well, you take it in first and give it to your grandpa and grandpa to eat. I'm busy now and my hands are dirty, so I can't eat it." Xia Weicheng said.
Xia Zekai ignored him and carried his things directly into the villa.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard the voice of a female host coming from the TV in the living room: "As of today, Bitcoin has once again hit a record high, breaking through to $110."
Suddenly hearing the news, Xia Zekai's eyes subconsciously shrank into slits: "This will rise to 110 US dollars?"
He was surprised and surprised because the last time he learned about Bitcoin, the price was only over 30 US dollars. It has tripled in just over a month?
But thinking about the price of Bitcoin in his previous life, which had risen even more outrageously in the following years, it seemed that the 'historically high price' of US$110 in front of him was nothing more than that. Thinking of this, he felt calm again.
He was too surprised just now and made a sound, which was heard by the two old men Xia Shande and Zhou Lin. They turned around and saw their grandson Xia Zekai and asked him: "Zekai, why are you here?"
Xia Zekai picked up the matcha cake in his hand again: "Grandpa, grandpa, I will give you some delicious snacks."
"What kind of snacks? Your grandpa and I can't eat sweet ones. We have bad teeth, and we can't eat hard ones either." Xia Shande said this.
Xia Zekai chuckled, opened the bag containing the matcha cakes, put the things in front of his grandfather and grandpa, and said: "Try it, be careful when pinching it. If you use too much force, it will break easily."
"Why are there such precious things?" Grandpa Zhou Lin muttered.
Xia Zekai laughed. Not only does this thing exist, but there are also many different varieties. It's just that they are rarely eaten in the north, while there are relatively more in the south.
Thinking of this, Xia Zekai thought of the teahouse opened by Mo Ting'en. He wondered that there were very few places specializing in tea drinking in the north, and the recipes were similar to southern snacks. Could it be that Mo Ting'en was from the south?
Or are his relatives from the South?
This thought only flashed through Xia Zekai's head, and his attention was focused on the news in front of him.
The news host was still talking about Bitcoin, and at the same time, he also kindly reminded the audience in front of the TV to invest cautiously.
According to the host, Bitcoin is a virtual currency, but it itself has no monetary value.
Xia Zekai lost interest after listening to a few words, but he remembered one thing: Bitcoin has reached a new high, and the price has remained above $100 recently.
Xia Zekai still remembers that he has 35,000 Bitcoins. If calculated according to the current price, it is equivalent to more than 680 RMB for one Bitcoin. The specific value of the more than 35,000 Bitcoins he holds is more than 23 million RMB.
Even higher.
He only spent 3 million yuan at the beginning, so the increase has been more than 7 times, and this time only took half a year.
"If I had known, I would have bought more." This idea also came to Xia Zekai's head.
But then he felt it was a bit funny. This was just like when he did something, but later realized that he should go all out. He never thought he would feel like this again in this life.
Two old men, Xia Shande and Zhou Lin, each picked up a piece of matcha cake and put it into their mouths and chewed it slowly. It was indeed as their grandson said, this thing was very crispy and would break into pieces when they bit it. They also ate it casually with their teeth.
"Grandpa, grandpa, why do you two still watch this kind of news?" Xia Zekai was still confused.
Grandpa Zhou Lin said: "I don't know what to look at anymore, so just look at it casually."
This reason was invincible, and Xia Zekai didn't hesitate.
Her mother, Zhou Yinghong, came out of the kitchen. When she saw Xia Zekai, she asked him: "Zekai, why are you here?"
"Mom, I'm bringing some food to grandpa and grandpa, are you cooking?" Zekai could see the checkered apron around his mother's waist. There was a lot of white flour on the apron.
Zhou Yinghong clapped her hands and said, "I'm making dumplings. If you don't leave in a hurry, you can take some back when you come out later and give them to Yatou and Tongtong."
Xia Zekai couldn't move his legs when he heard the dumplings. He nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll wait for a while."
"You haven't started eating yet?" Zhou Yinghong asked him.
Xia Zekai nodded: "I just picked up your granddaughter Tongtong from school, and I haven't started cooking yet."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yinghong said directly: "Forget it, just stop doing it. You call Xiyun and ask their mothers to come over for dinner."
Xia Zekai made a phone call in a hurry.
…
On the other side, Zhang Xu and Tang Lin also returned from the capital. After they arrived in Qicheng, they first went to Tang Lin's home in Furui Garden, Zhoucheng District.
Zhang Xu first went to meet with his prospective father-in-law and mother-in-law to discuss the meeting of the two elderly people.
The treatment Zhang Xu received this time was completely different from when he came during the Chinese New Year.
As soon as they entered the house, Tang Lin's mother Jia Cuiping had already prepared dishes.
Tang Lin's father, Tang Jinsheng, prepared the wine and asked Zhang Xu and Tang Lin to wash their hands and sit down. Tang Jinsheng poured wine for Zhang Xu: "Xiao Zhang, are you two tired from the journey?"
This tone is completely different from the first time we met.
"Uncle Tang, please don't be so polite, otherwise I wouldn't dare drink this glass of wine." Zhang Xu said.
Hearing what he said, Tang Jinsheng put the wine on the table and said with a smile: "Okay, whoever's glass is empty first will pour the wine."
He had said so, but Zhang Xu was still polite. He had a drink with his father-in-law when he came up, which made Tang Jinsheng numb.
Zhang Xu also took the opportunity to take the wine bottle and pour some wine for his father-in-law-to-be.
Tang Jinsheng stared at him: "Xiao Zhang, you did this on purpose, didn't you want to see my joke?"
Zhang Xu shook his head and waved his hands: "Uncle Tang, look at what you said, how dare I see your joke."
"How about this, you drink one and I drink two." Zhang Xu said.
Tang Jinsheng almost blew his beard and stared at him. His future son-in-law looked down on him.
Just as he was thinking about beeping, Jia Cuiping brought a fruit plate over and coughed twice.
Tang Jinsheng's words went back to his stomach before he finished speaking.
Jia Cuiping said: "Xiao Zhang, let's talk about business tonight. Drink less wine. There will be plenty of time another day."
The prospective mother-in-law said this, so Zhang Xu couldn't go against her wishes and said, "That's what you said."
"Where's Hong Liang? Why haven't you seen him?" Zhang Xu also asked. He hadn't seen his brother-in-law since he entered the door.
Jia Cuiping said: "He is still in school, and he was not asked to ask for leave today."
"When you two get engaged, I will definitely let him come." Jia Cuiping added.
While eating, several people talked about business.
Neither Jia Cuiping nor Tang Jinsheng mentioned the betrothal gift, nor anything like three golds, so they asked Zhang Xu what his family meant.
"Uncle Tang, my parents and my mother have been looking forward to us getting engaged and getting married early since the Chinese New Year." Zhang Xu said this.
Tang Jinsheng and Jia Cuiping understood what he meant. They looked at each other and Jia Cuiping said: "Xiao Zhang, how about this? The day after tomorrow, you arrange a place for your uncle and I to meet your parents. Let's
The two families have a meal together."
"Okay, I'll call my parents right now." Zhang Xu couldn't help but couldn't control his joy.
And although I'm embarrassed to say it, I have a day off tomorrow, so I'd better take some time off to spend time with my kids. I'll update more than 6,000+ posts tomorrow, so I'll try to write as much as I can.
I have a holiday next month, and the specific time has not been decided yet, but I will have plenty of time to write in September and October.
