Chapter 1278 Things are still there, there are fewer people
When Luo Xiyun saw this information on the Internet, she was dumbfounded at the time. She turned to Xia Zekai and asked: "Zekai, look at the content of this news. Is it you? It is really nonsense. You just opened your mouth and said that you have surpassed Mr. Wang, has become the third richest man on the list?"
As she spoke, Luo Xiyun went to pick at her husband's pockets, trying to find out where the more than 9 billion US dollars was hidden.
Xia Zekai blocked left and right, and finally held his wife in his arms and blocked her hands with his own. Only then did Luo Xiyun become quiet.
Xia Zekai nagged: "I have only a few cents, but I have several hundred million in savings. Do you want it?"
Luo Xiyun knew what her husband meant as soon as she heard it. She struggled hard for a while, but she couldn't break free, so she said anxiously: "You are crazy. Yatou and Tongtong are watching TV with their grandparents below. Wan What should I do if I run up to you later?"
Xia Zekai chuckled, lowered his head, and said in his wife's ear: "Not now, but it will be OK after they both fall asleep at night."
After finishing speaking, looking at his wife's ears, which seemed to be transparent and the blood vessels inside could be clearly seen under the light, Xia Zekai had an impulse in his heart for no reason and subconsciously stuck out his tongue...
At that moment, Luo Xiyun felt his ears itching, and then all the energy in his body was taken away. His body seemed to have no bones and he lay on the bed.
Before Xia Zekai could make his next move, Yatou and Tongtong's voices came from downstairs.
"Dad, Mom, what are you doing? Come down and watch TV." The girl shouted.
Just as Xia Zekai was about to respond, who knew that the sound of footsteps stepping on the stairs could already be heard outside, and then Tongtong's voice came over: "Mom, Dad, I'm here."
Xia Zekai thought that you are really my daughter, and you really love your mother.
Luo Xiyun looked at her husband's embarrassing appearance and couldn't help laughing: "Get up quickly, she's coming in soon, I have to tidy up my clothes."
After Tongtong opened the door with a clang and came in, she looked at her father and mother with puzzled eyes, but she didn't see anything unusual.
She was still a little unwilling and asked: "Mom, I've been calling you for so long and you haven't agreed. Is dad bullying you again?"
"Mom, tell me, if dad bullies you, I will beat him." Tongtong shook his fist and said unceremoniously.
Xia Zekai was so angry that his stomach hurt. He stood up and walked towards Tongtong immediately. Tongtong was so scared that he turned around and ran downstairs.
While running, he shouted: "Grandma, daddy beat me, please hurry up and beat him."
This is when I found a backer.
After Tongtong went down, Luo Xiyun also quickly packed up his clothes and prepared to go down.
She also said to Xia Zekai: "There are so many people at home, just upstairs and downstairs. Don't mess around."
Seeing his wife coming downstairs, Xia Zekai stared: "..."
When Xia Zekai was about to go down, his cell phone rang. When he saw that the caller had Ma Yun's name on it, he thought that Lao Ma had just finished his work, so he answered the call.
"Jack, are you done now?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Ma Yun, who was on the other side of the phone, was still very excited. He responded and then said: "After two years of busy work, I finally have a result. This time I am very satisfied."
"You can do it. Overnight, you have become the richest man in the country." Xia Zekai teased him.
Ma Yun smiled and didn't care at all. He said: "Others don't know what's going on. Don't you know? These are all book wealth. Maybe I will be surpassed by others one day."
This is true, so Xia Zekai never cared about this false reputation from beginning to end.
If these stocks cannot be cashed out for a day, they will remain as book wealth, which is very fictitious.
But after all, he was very happy to have this title. He said: "Boss Xia, you have to be in the top three now, right?"
"I haven't calculated it yet. I plan to sell part of it when Alibaba's stock rises again." Xia Zekai has a plan in mind.
He will not hold on to all the more than 40 million shares without selling them, but he will not liquidate them all at once. He has not encountered anything that requires money so far.
Having said that, I had previously negotiated with Yiming, Rubo and the others that after Alibaba Group was officially listed, they would use these shares as collateral for loans to increase capital in Xiaoai Technology. This can now be implemented.
"Boss Xia, I plan to go back in two days, and I will go back to find you then." Ma Yun made a special call to Xia Zekai because of this matter.
Hearing what Lao Ma said, Xia Zekai smiled and said, "Okay, I'll prepare fine wine and food for you in Qicheng."
With Xia Zekai's promise, Ma Yun was very happy and burst into laughter.
After the business was finished, the two of them didn't say anything else and hung up the phone not long after.
Xia Zekai came down from upstairs and saw his parents, wife and children sitting on the sofa in the living room watching the Mid-Autumn Festival Party.
The performance was an acrobatic show, and Xia Zekai lost interest after just one glance.
It was already past 10 o'clock when I went to bed at night. I coaxed Yatou, Tongtong and the other two sisters to sleep. At this time, Qingyu and his three siblings had already fallen asleep.
Maybe he was really tired, Luo Xiyun fell asleep not long after lying down. Xia Zekai saw the tiredness on his wife's face, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and fell asleep too.
The sun rises and the moon sets, and it’s a new day.
After getting up in the morning, Xia Zekai came downstairs and saw that his mother had already prepared breakfast.
I also tidied up the house by the way.
According to the plan, he will return to Qicheng today. To be honest, it was quite quiet in his hometown during this time, and no one was looking for him. Xia Zekai was still a little reluctant to leave.
But they have to go back after all. Apart from anything else, the two sisters, Yatou and Tongtong, have to continue going to school.
It is impossible for Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun to really leave the company alone.
But when it was time to leave after breakfast, Yatou and Tongtong were not happy to leave.
I kept telling my parents if I could stay a few more days.
"Why? We have been living here for almost half a month," Xia Zekai said.
Then I heard Tongtong say matter-of-factly: "How wonderful it is to be here. There are cats and dogs, chickens, ducks and geese. There are no teachers in class, and there is no need to do homework. How wonderful."
Xia Zekai seemed to understand that the previous ones were not the point. There were no classes in his hometown and no homework was the point.
The good habits they had finally developed for the sisters were about to collapse. Xia Zekai's face turned dark: "You two, hurry up and pack your things, pick up your schoolbags, get in the car and leave."
When their father said this, they felt that he was going to be angry. The two sisters were very smart and stopped. They quickly packed their schoolbags and the textbooks they had brought back and got into the car.
There were four cars in front of and behind Xia Zekai, and there was not a lot of movement when they were leaving.
Seeing these four cars driving away, many people in Xiajiazhuang were actually quite reluctant to part with them, but they also knew that they had a lot of things to do and couldn't keep working in their hometown.
But it has to be said that Xia Zekai's time in his hometown also allowed the villagers of Xiajiazhuang to see the wonderful things outside.
All kinds of big shots, county and city leaders have come here, and their attitude is so respectful. It couldn't have been so lively in the past.
It's as if Xiajiazhuang has changed and has a new look.
The car going back was neither too fast nor too slow. Xia Zekai kept looking out the window. He wanted to keep the place where he was born and raised in his eyes and in his heart.
He also knew in his heart that with the passing of his grandfather, his ties to this place might become smaller and smaller.
From then on, the place where his parents are by his side is his home, and the place where his wife and children are by his side is his home.
Maybe during the holidays, he would come back from Qicheng or other cities to put incense sticks and burn some tributes to his grandparents, but he would not live in Xiajiazhuang as carefree as he did when he was a child, nor would he live in Xiajiazhuang like this time.
Time put aside all the noise outside and lived a secluded life in this small village.
After all, he is still a common man, and he still carries the burden and hope of feeding thousands of people. He cannot stand still.
"Dad, are you stupid? What are you doing? I called you, but you didn't answer." Tongtong said.
Xia Zekai was confused and turned to look at their second son: "Tongtong, what's wrong with you?"
"Dad, mom just said that our place is very close to the Yellow River. Should we go back and walk to the Yellow River?" Tongtong asked.
"No, let's get on the highway directly." Xia Zekai glanced at the scenery outside and was about to get on the highway.
Tongtong said "Oh" and said, "Okay, Dad, when we come back next time, can you take me to the Yellow River to see it?"
"What do you want to see?" Xia Zekai asked her.
Tongtong said: "I want to see the difference between the Yellow River in my hometown and the Yellow River where we eat barbecue."
She remembers things quite well.
After hearing what she said, Xia Zekai then said to Wang Yi: "Xiao Wang, don't rush to the highway yet, go to the nearest Yellow River for a walk."
Xia Zekai is willful. As long as his daughter wants to know, he will try his best to satisfy her.
Tongtong was very happy when she saw that her father was willing to take her to the Yellow River.
Xia Weicheng and Zhou Yinghong, who were sitting in the car behind, didn't understand why the car turned again, but they didn't ask.
After this delay, it was already two hours before we got on the highway again. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to Qicheng smoothly.
It has been 13 days since I took my grandfather back to my hometown of Xiajiazhuang on September 8th.
Nothing has changed significantly here, except that there are fewer relatives around me.
"Dad, Mom, you can live here." Xia Zekai said to his parents.
However, Xia Weicheng and Zhou Yinghong did not agree. Zhou Yinghong also said that she would come to take care of the children during the day and return to the original villa to live at night.
Hearing that his mother was so stubborn, Xia Zekai stopped trying to persuade her.
When sending his parents to the small villa in the west, Xia Zekai felt a little uncomfortable looking at the deserted villa.
Especially when he saw the two rocking chairs under the trees in the yard and the round glass table placed between the rocking chairs, Xia Zekai seemed to see his grandfather and grandpa, two carefree old people, lying there comfortably.
The scenes of casual chatting reappeared yesterday, but they will never happen again.
Xia Zekai felt a little uncomfortable after seeing things and missing people. He said to his parents: "Mom, Dad, why don't we get rid of those two recliners."
"You kid, the recliner is fine, why are you throwing it away? What a waste!" Zhou Yinghong scolded him.
He also said: "Your dad and I are fine. It's just right to sit here and bask in the sun and blow in the wind."
Xia Zekai touched his nose and had nothing to say.
