Chapter 1461 The capital is huge, but there is no place for me (4100 words
Luo Xiyun heard her mother say this, and then said: "Mom, you haven't seen them for a long time. How tall have they grown? You don't know how fat or thin they are, and you didn't call me in advance to ask.
, when I’m shopping for clothes and shoes, I don’t have a lot of sizes, so how can I possibly fit them?”
After Xia Zekai heard this, he pushed his wife aside. Why was this woman confused at the critical moment? She didn't know what to say.
Are you buying clothes and shoes? That’s missing you!
He continued: "That's not necessarily the case. When I went back last time, I told my mother how tall and fat they were. She also asked me several times, just in case it was suitable to buy them.
"
Speaking of this, Xia Zekai remembered something. When he went to his brother-in-law's house for dinner that night, his mother-in-law kept asking the girl about their siblings' height, fatness, etc.
At that time, I thought it was because my mother-in-law missed them too much, but now it seems that she had probably already thought about buying them some clothes and shoes.
It’s really hard for the old lady!
"Well, let them try it quickly and see if it fits. If it doesn't fit, I'll take it back and change it." She was quite persistent.
Luo Xiyun also realized that she had said the wrong thing just now. She stood nearby and watched her mother call Yatou, Tongtong, Qingyu, Chenchen and Jingling to her side one by one and try on clothes for them. At that moment,
She felt bad in her heart.
"Hey, the clothes I bought for Yatou and Tongtong are quite suitable. They are both fat and thin."
"Sunny or rainy, let's take a look at Chenchen's..."
"Hey, has Jing Ling lost weight? His clothes are a little fat."
The old lady Liu Chunhua was trying on clothes and talking, full of concern for the children.
Zhou Yinghong poured her a glass of water and asked her to sit down and drink some water first.
"Sister, drink some water first." She said.
Liu Chunhua said 'hmm' and said, "Sister, don't be too busy. I'll do it myself in a while."
Xia Zekai asked Jiang Ningning to prepare the meal. He didn't even need to think about it. He knew that the old lady would be reluctant to eat the fast food box lunch that was several times more expensive on the high-speed rail after traveling all the way.
"Grandma, I'll take you out to play in the afternoon. Today is a holiday again, so it's very lively outside." The girl volunteered.
But Tongtong suddenly said: "Sister, didn't dad say he wanted to go see a house?"
Yang Tiande called Xia Zekai. The restoration and decoration of the ancient building in the courtyard was finally completed. He thought about asking Xia Zekai to take a look and settle the matter.
"What house are you looking at?" The old lady was interested, wondering if her son-in-law had just bought a house, so why did he buy another house?
There are so many houses, can he live here?
Xia Zekai said with a smile: "Mom, the renovation of the courtyard house I bought at the beginning of the year has been completed. I plan to go over there tomorrow to have a look. Once it is finished, the decoration can be used to do other work."
"Let's also buy some more furniture and move it here a year ago."
Among other things, Lao Liang has just bought a smaller courtyard house and needs to restore and decorate it!
When she heard what was going on, the old lady became interested. She said: "So it's a coincidence that I came here, so I'll go and have a look. You guys keep saying that the house is big, how big is it?" ...
She hasn't seen it yet.
Yatou and Tongtong heard their grandma ask how big the house was, and the two sisters made signs.
"Grandma, the house is so big, I'm so tired even after running around." The girl said.
Tongtong said to her: "Sister, you are too useless. You are so tired after such a short distance. I can run three laps in one breath."
"Just brag, try running three laps for me tomorrow. The one who can't finish is the puppy." The girl said to her.
"Just try it, sister, I have to convince you." Tongtong followed: "You will also call me 'Sister Tongtong' by then, do you dare to bet?"
"Pa!" Luo Xiyun came over and gave her a slap, saying to her: "Tongtong, you are no longer old or young. You deserve a beating, right? Do you want me to call you 'Sister Tongtong' too?"
"Tongtong, you have to continue to hang out in school and see how I deal with it."
Tongtong covered her buttocks, feeling aggrieved.
After Jiang Ningning prepared the meal, she came over and said that Zhou Yinghong was greeting her mother-in-law for dinner.
…
After Zhao Yong came out of the Beijing Railway Station dragging his suitcase, carrying his bag, and carrying a backpack on his back, he chose a random direction and walked out.
He doesn't have very close friends or classmates here, otherwise he would have a place to seek refuge.
I didn't contact the company I was applying for in advance before coming here. When I came here, my eyes were blank and I had no goals.
Just now he saw a sign saying 'Recruitment Information' on the roadside, and he called over to ask, but the other person said the salary was a bit low, and he felt it was not cost-effective, so he didn't go there.
"Where are we going to see?" Zhao Yong looked around and saw people everywhere.
But others were different from him. There was a family, young and old, carrying a light bag, juice and drinks in their hands, pointing everywhere in a cool manner.
Or the young couple cuddles together, in love, and they feel that the streets and alleys of the capital are all sweet.
There were three or five buddies or best friends walking together, talking about some unknown topic, laughing and looking very happy.
That's all. Zhao Yong took a lot of things. Although he was young and strong, it was still difficult to walk for a long time.
His body was already covered in sweat, and his clothes were soaked with sweat. The wet clothes stuck to his body, which was particularly uncomfortable.
"How about finding a place to live first, putting down your things and then looking for a job." Zhao Yong thought to himself.
Where can I stay?
He looked at the high-rise buildings around him, the well-decorated hotels, and the fast hotels. He knew without asking that the accommodation prices were not cheap. He was here to make money, not spend money to enjoy it.
He finally asked someone and found out that there were cheap hotels, but they were not here.
The other party kindly told him which buses to take, which bus station to get off at, and which buses to transfer to. Zhao Yong was immediately confused. He had no impression of this place at all and couldn't remember it at all.
.
The kind person finally suggested that he take a taxi, but Zhao Yong gave up the idea when he saw the starting price.
Let's walk first, then take a taxi. Maybe you can save a few dollars, or you may come across a cheap hotel on the way. …
"Is it so difficult in Beijing?" Zhao Yong felt a little confused and didn't know whether he was right or wrong in choosing to come here to make money.
If he hadn't been looking for a place to store his luggage, he would have slept under the bridge.
…
One night passed.
Honolulu villa area, Xia Zekai's home.
A family is packing their things and getting ready to go out.
Today they will go together to see what the renovated courtyard looks like, and then go to the park to enjoy the excitement of the National Day holiday.
There is no clear destination, but places like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall are places that I would never go to anyway. I usually go there more often, so if I go there at this time, I will have to deal with the crowds and suffer the consequences myself.
The three cars set off together and arrived at the courtyard. As soon as the cars stopped, Yatou and Tongtong and the sisters rushed out.
When Qingyu, Chenchen and Jingling saw the two sisters running away, they became anxious and pointed outside and shouted: "Sister, sister."
Luo Xiyun glared at Yatou and Tongtong angrily and said to them: "Why are you running? How long can it delay you?"
"Are we here?" Liu Chunhua finally realized that we were at the right place.
"Sister, let's go, I'll take you in and have a look." Zhou Yinghong said to her mother-in-law.
In Liu Chunhua's eyes, there is nothing surprising here. The walls are made of gray bricks that look similar to those in the countryside. They are dusty and do not look like they are worth more than a billion as her son-in-law said.
She had always thought that the house her son-in-law had spent more than a billion to buy must be as splendid as a palace, or like a high-end mansion in the TV series. It must be of high quality at first glance.
"Sister, is this place worth more than one billion?" she asked.
Zhou Yinghong nodded: "Zekai did spend a lot of money, and I don't know what its value is."
But she then added: "But it's really nice inside."
"Ouch, I really can't think of it," Liu Chunhua said.
"Come on, sister, let's go in and take a look, and then we'll go to other places later." Zhou Yinghong led her inside.
Yang Tiande and Tian Ruyi had been waiting here early in the morning. When they heard some movement outside, they came out and saw Xia Zekai's family.
She asked her wife to take her mother-in-law to look around the courtyard. Xia Zekai, Yang Tiande, and Tian Ruyi walked aside and chatted for a while.
"Mr. Xia, look at what's wrong, and I'll arrange for someone to do it again." Tian Ruyi came up and said.
Xia Zekai waved his hand: "Master Tian, you did a good job."
Yang Tiande said: "Brother Xia, let's not sit here. Let's walk, watch and chat."
"Okay, let's go." Xia Zekai responded, and the three of them walked around the courtyard together.
Xia Zekai looked at it very carefully. After reading it, he felt that it was perfect. Tian Ruyi and his apprentices were indeed experts in the ancient building restoration industry.
Xia Zekai felt it was worth the price.
On the other side, Luo Xiyun, her mother and mother-in-law were watching carefully, and they stopped from time to time to discuss what furniture should be added to this room and what style of furniture should be bought for that room. It was quite lively.
Only now did Liu Chunhua know how big this house was. …
I also know what it means to have a different world.
But she also wondered, could people in ancient times live in such a big house?
Is it too luxurious?
Luo Xiyun also took his mother and mother-in-law to the underground parking lot and showed her mother the Koenigsegg One 1.
Overall, it was already two hours later.
Xia Zekai shook hands with Yang Tiande and Tian Ruyi respectively. He also said: "Seventh brother, Master Tian, set a time and I will treat you to a meal together."
"No need, Brother Xia, you are quite busy too." Yang Tiande was about to refuse.
Tian Ruyi was even more uncomfortable. He was still thinking of finding a reason to push back. Then he heard Xia Zekai say firmly: "This was agreed in advance."
Yang Tiande thought about it for a while and then said: "How about we do it today or tomorrow night."
"Okay, then it will be tomorrow night." Xia Zekai said: "Brother Qi, I have booked a hotel and will send you a message."
"Okay!" Yang Tiande agreed.
Seeing that Tian Ruyi still had something to say, he blinked at Tian Ruyi and signaled him to stop talking.
After watching Xia Zekai and his family leave, Tian Ruyi said anxiously: "Mr. Yang, if you take people to dinner tomorrow, we won't have to go to dinner again."
"Master Tian, if you don't go, then I won't pay you the bill." Yang Tiande is a good cheater.
Tian Ruyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said: "I always feel that I can't eat well with a big shot like Boss Xia."
"Frankly speaking, the pressure is too great," Tian Ruyi said.
Yang Tiande smiled: "What kind of pressure can there be? After tomorrow night, you can eat when you need to eat and drink when you need to drink. Brother Xia won't eat you either."
Having said that, Tian Ruyi felt pressure rise in her heart when she thought that he was going to eat at the same table as China's richest man.
…
After Xia Zekai and the others left the courtyard, they went to Diaoyutai Ginkgo Avenue in Yuyuantan Park.
When Xia Zekai accidentally made headlines, he saw someone saying that the ginkgo trees on Diaoyutai Ginkgo Avenue in Yuyuantan Park are particularly beautiful in late autumn. Many people took photos and uploaded them, and Xia Zekai was also attracted.
Late autumn is the best time.
When I came here, I took a quick look and saw that the yellow ginkgo leaves were densely stacked together, which was very beautiful.
A few little guys started making strange noises while they were still in the car, and they all got out in a hurry.
Xia Zekai also saw many people taking photos, including wedding photos.
Even the old couple Xia Weicheng and Zhou Yinghong said: "This place is more beautiful than the park we went to last time."
"Mom, the Jingshan Park you're talking about is different, it's not the same thing." Xia Zekai waved his hand and said.
Wang Yi and the others drove forward for a certain distance and finally found an empty space, and all three cars stopped.
"There are a lot of people here." Luo Xiyun said.
"There's not much here, let's go quickly." Xia Zekai had already opened the car door and got out.
What he said makes sense. Compared with those famous tourist attractions, there are indeed fewer people here.
In addition to the yellow leaves hanging on the ginkgo trees, the ground is also covered with a thick layer of ginkgo leaves, making the ground golden yellow, as if you have entered a fairy tale world.
Yatou, Tongtong and the others have already started running with their younger brothers and sisters.
"Qingyu, come quickly, it's so much fun here."
"Jing Ling, run quickly, or I will catch you."
Chenchen saw his sister and brother running away. No one was playing with him, so he was not discouraged and chased after them.
Luo Xiyun was worried about them, so he walked a few steps quickly and followed them.
Liu Chunhua and Zhou Yinghong were not at ease, so they also chased him away.
As she was walking, Liu Chunhua suddenly saw a somewhat familiar person lying on a long stool in front of her.
The silver-gray suitcase stood upright next to it, contrasting with the yellow leaves. It matched well.
Black handbags and black backpacks were stacked on one end of the long stool.
The person is resting with his pillow on the handbag.
As if he was afraid that he would take up too much space, he even put his legs on the ground. From the perspective of others, his upper body was lying down, folded at 90 degrees with his legs. It was uncomfortable to think about it.
