On the way back to the capital, the atmosphere in the car was still a bit dull and depressing.
After Wang Yi drove onto the highway and drove smoothly for a while, the atmosphere in the car became better.
Xia Zekai said: "Mom, let's come back after the new year."
Zhou Yinghong didn't reply.
Xia Zekai sent a message to his wife on the way, telling her that he was on his way back and might not get home until a little later.
When we returned to the capital, it was already past 9 pm. When the car entered the villa area in Honolulu, Yatou, Tongtong and the other five siblings were already asleep.
Luo Xiyun heard the noise outside and quickly came out to take a look: "Dad, Mom, Zekai, come in quickly, I've asked Sister Jiang to cook."
Luo Xiyun could tell that her mother-in-law was not in a very high mood. When she saw that her grandfather Zhou Lin did not come back with her, she asked her husband: "Zekai, our grandpa is not coming."
Xia Zekai told his wife the whole story.
After listening, Luo Xiyun was silent for a while, and then said with a smile: "That's right. For grandpa, he is the closest at home, which is good."
"Yeah." Xia Zekai responded and said, "There are a lot of things in the car, I'll go get them first."
He went to work.
After Jiang Ningning brought out the dinner, Xia Zekai and his parents ate a little less, and his mother Zhou Yinghong went to rest.
His father stayed alone in the living room for a while, and Xia Zekai told him to go to bed early.
"Zekai, it's very late today. You should wash up quickly and go to bed early." Luo Xiyun said to him, and she went back to the bedroom first.
That night, when Xia Zekai was sleeping, he kept thinking about what his grandfather said, and he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
When I woke up the next morning, I saw Yatou and Tongtong playing in the yard. Yatou insisted on using the three moves and two moves she had just learned from Geng Yuqin to compete with her sister.
She couldn't tell that Tongtong had been giving in to her, which was very head-scratching.
With the happy pair of Yatou and Tongtong, Xia Zekai no longer thinks about other things.
"Dad, when did you come back?" The girl was quite surprised when she saw her father.
Tongtong ran over directly, kicked her feet on the ground and jumped up, her whole body hanging on her father: "Dad, you are back just in time, our school is going to have a parent-teacher meeting, and mom said you should go."
"Why doesn't your mother go?" Xia Zekai asked subconsciously.
Then I heard Tongtong pouting and saying seriously: "Mom said she didn't want to go and embarrass anyone, so she asked Dad to go!"
"I...want to scold my mother." Xia Zekai forcefully held back the last three words.
"Dad, I didn't hear what you said." Tongtong asked specifically.
Xia Zekai shook his head: "It's okay. You are going to have a parent-teacher meeting someday. I can go there then."
"Hehe, it's tomorrow. There will be a parent-teacher meeting in class tomorrow morning. When you send my sister and I off, just follow us in," the girl said.
Tongtong then asked: "Dad, can you sponsor some snacks? Dried fruits are also fine."
"No problem, it's all a trivial matter." Xia Zekai agreed immediately.
He was quite curious: "Tongtong, tell dad, is this what your teacher asked you to ask, or is it something you want to ask yourself?"
"What?" Tongtong was confused and asked her father.
Xia Zekai said: "You just asked me to bring some snacks. Whose idea was this?"
"Oh, this is my idea. If you don't want to take it with me, dad, it's okay." Tongtong didn't seem to care much, but she still glanced at her dad secretly, for fear that he would refuse.
Same.
Xia Zekai looked at his daughter's cute appearance and couldn't help but smile.
He was thinking about what the teacher would say at tomorrow's parent-teacher meeting and how he would evaluate Yatou and Tongtong.
Thinking of this, he quickly lowered his head and asked: "Girl, Tongtong, you two didn't commit a foul, did you? What were your test scores last time? You two didn't give me any."
"Dad, Tongtong and I have told you, but it's dad who didn't listen and you still blame us!" The girl spread her hands with a helpless expression on her face.
Tongtong also said: "Dad, don't worry, my sister and I did very well in the exam."
"Also, the essay I wrote got perfect marks. Teacher Zhang even praised me!" Tongtong said seriously.
When Xia Zekai heard his daughter say this, he was filled with pride.
"Tongtong is great, and the girl is also great. You two should continue to perform well." He encouraged his two girls.
Qingyu, Chenchen and Jingling got dressed and took the elevator down from upstairs. After seeing Xia Zekai, the three siblings hung on their father and couldn't get off.
"Dad, where is the delicious food?" Chenchen asked.
Jing Ling also hummed and said, "Dad, mom said you want to buy me toys."
"Come down quickly, I'll buy it for you in a moment." He said.
But the three siblings didn't believe it, and held on to their father's clothes with their little hands.
"Dad goes to buy it and I'll watch." Qingyu said.
She wants to supervise her father to buy toys and delicious snacks, and she also says: "The clothes look good."
I also need to buy clothes for this.
"Okay, okay, dad has promised you. He will send my sister to school soon, so I will take you shopping. Come down quickly and save some face for dad, okay?" Xia Zekai coaxed the three of them.
He was also convinced, how could his daughters and sons, each of them outdoing the other, didn't take him seriously.
When the three siblings heard what their father said, they let go of their hands one by one.
After having some breakfast at home, when Xia Zekai sent Yatou and sisters Tongtong to school, Qingyu, Chenchen and Jingling all drove up in the car without saying anything and didn't come down.
Xia Zekai was at a loss and asked his wife to get in the car too.
The girl also said: "Dad, my brothers and sisters are really annoying. They delay me from going to school. If I am late, it is their fault."
"Hmph, look, if I'm late, I'll come back and beat them up." Tongtong raised his little fist and demonstrated to his younger siblings.
After Luo Xiyun heard about it, she said to her: "Okay, they are not sensible. You two are sisters, how can you still be on the same level as the three of them?"
"Huh!" The girl snorted and stopped talking.
Wang Yi galloped all the way and was not late in the end.
Waving goodbye to their father at the school gate, Yatou and Tongtong also said: "Dad, have fun with your younger brothers and sisters, and remember to buy us toys, otherwise we will ignore you."
Xia Zekai didn't want to talk about them anymore, turned around, got in the car and left.
In the car, Xia Zekai said to his wife: "Daughter-in-law, you know, these two girls are so annoying."
"They both asked me for toys just now and threatened me," Xia Zekai said.
Luo Xiyun wanted to laugh when she saw her husband's helpless look.
"Okay, what are you doing with them, boring or not?" Luo Xiyun said to him.
The couple took Qingyu and the three of them to a nearby shopping mall. As soon as they entered, the three siblings ran away.
Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun were afraid that they would have an accident and fall again, so they kept following behind.
"Chenchen, I'm talking about you, slow down." Xia Zekai chased him behind.
But this kid was still excited. When he saw his father chasing after him, he spread his short legs and ran as hard as he could, making a "thumping" sound on the ground. He didn't care if there was anyone in front of him, covered his head and ran away.
Xia Zekai was startled. If he ran to the stairs, he would just roll down.
He quickly took big strides and caught up with Chenchen who was running in front. He picked him up and slapped him twice on the buttocks.
"Mom, help." Chenchen also knew how to ask her mother to save her.
It's a pity that Luo Xiyun didn't help him at this time. When he came over, he also slapped him twice. After the slap, he looked at Qingyu and Jingling.
The meaning is obvious. If you two are naughty, you will end up with the same fate.
When Qingyu and Jingling saw this scene, they were frightened and did not dare to run away.
The mother's lingering power only made the three siblings behave. Within half an hour, when they saw the store selling toys, the three siblings started to be naughty again.
"Dad, toys." Jing Ling pointed to the electric racing car in the toy store and stopped walking.
Chenchen also pointed at a small resin sculpture of a horse, holding it in his arms without letting go. He usually struggled to hold an apple, but he didn't know where he could find the energy now.
"Mom, the clothes are beautiful." Qingyu pointed at a children's clothing store opposite and said.
It was so lively now. Xia Zekai took Chenchen and Jing Ling into the toy store and said to his wife: "Daughter-in-law, you go to the opposite side to pick out clothes for Qingyu first, and then come back after you finish shopping."
"Okay, let's see who finishes early?" Luo Xiyun felt a little unsure. If she were to choose clothes, she would definitely be immersed. It's hard to say that she would be done with just one or two sets.
Xia Zekai looked at her with a half-smile and said nothing else.
It was already three hours after I bought clothes, toys and snacks for the three little guys, and most of the time was wasted by Luo Xiyun on choosing clothes.
Xia Zekai had already been mentally prepared for this.
After he and his two sons bought toys, they went to find his wife and daughter together, only to find that the women had already chosen five or six sets of clothes and were still trying on a new set of clothes for Qingyu, with no intention of giving up.
"Sure enough, this is the virtue!" Xia Zekai thought to himself, he had already guessed that this would happen.
Before leaving, Luo Xiyun remembered something and asked her husband: "Zekai, have you bought toys for Yatou and Tongtong? If not, they will blame you again."
"Thank you for remembering this. I bought it a long time ago, so hurry up and leave." Xia Zekai said.
Wang Yi, Wu Jialei, and Liu Changzheng held at least ten handbags in their hands, half of which were toys.
Xia Zekai felt that if their family was in dire straits one day, they could consider sifting through all the toys in the house and taking out the unopened toys and selling them as new toys.
I don’t know what the five siblings were thinking. After buying many toys, they hid them without opening them and could not be found.
During the house cleaning, they pulled out the toys they had hidden from a corner.
"Zekai, why don't you prepare for the parent-teacher meeting tomorrow?" Luo Xiyun reminded him.
Xia Zekai shook his head: "What's there to prepare? I don't even need to prepare a manuscript when I go to the meeting above. How can a mere parents' meeting come up with policies to stabilize the country?"
Luo Xiyun was amused by him and said: "That's not what I meant. Didn't Tongtong ask you to prepare some dried fruits and snacks?"
"Well, I can't forget it." Xia Zekai responded.
He just didn't know what the content of this parent-teacher meeting was about. If he had nothing to do and chatted, forget it. He didn't have the time to play with her.
I have a cold and keep coughing, so let’s fix these first.
