Chapter 1503 Those parents are short-tempered (4300 words)
"Amy, come here and let Uncle Kai see your hairpin." Xia Zekai stretched out his hand to greet her.
The little one lived in the capital for almost two months during the summer vacation and got used to getting along. She and Xia Zekai were quite close, and then they moved closer to Xia Zekai.
The eldest niece Xia Yuxi also came out of the bedroom. When she saw Xia Zekai, she smiled and shouted: "Uncle Kai!"
"Yuxi, let me see if you have grown taller again." Xia Zekai took a look and asked her.
When the eldest niece Xia Yuxi heard that she was taller, she became worried and panicked: "Uncle Kai, don't mention it, I'm almost catching up with my mother."
"Isn't this a good thing?" Xia Zekai comforted her with a smile.
But Xia Yuxi shook her head: "My classmates all laughed at me for not being good-looking, just like a telegraph pole."
"You kid, why don't you look good? What do your classmates look like?"
"I think our Yuxi is quite beautiful." Xia Zekai's mouth is in need of treatment.
Hearing what he said, Xia Yuxi laughed.
The eldest brother Xia Yunfei said: "Zekai, sit down quickly."
"Uncle Kai, do you want to eat fruit?" his nephew Xia Jingrui suddenly came over and asked him.
Xia Zekai didn't understand what was going on. He shook his head and said, "I won't eat it."
Xia Jingrui then asked: "Do you want to smoke or not?"
"Jingrui, when did you see Uncle Kai smoking?" Xia Zekai asked him.
"Ah, haha!"
thing?"
"That...that..." Xia Jingrui scratched his scalp, embarrassed to say it.
Xia Zekai provoked him: "A man, you should be clear and crisp in everything you say and do. Why are you still hesitating?"
"Oh, Uncle Kai, I told my dad that when I get admitted to Beijing University in the future, you will reward me with a Mercedes-Benz G. My dad still doesn't believe it, tell him if it is true." Xia Jingrui looked expectantly.
Looking at Xia Zekai, I felt uneasy.
I'm afraid that Uncle Kai will say 'I was joking' again.
He was worried for less than two seconds, and then he saw his Uncle Kai reaching out, touching his little head, and said: "Isn't it just a Mercedes-Benz G? I'm worried that your Uncle Kai can't afford it."
"Jingrui, let me tell you, as long as you can get into Beijing University and get a Mercedes-Benz G, Uncle Kai will promise you to buy it." Xia Zekai told him with certainty.
"Wow!" Xia Jingrui jumped up happily.
He turned to look at his father Xia Yunhui: "Dad, did you hear it? Uncle Kai really said it."
Xia Yunhui said: "Zekai, he is still a child, don't listen to him."
But when Xia Zekai heard what his brother said, he waved his hand and said, "Brother, you are wrong. I proposed this on my own initiative. Isn't it just a car? That's it."
After he finished speaking, he looked at his eldest niece Xia Yuxi and asked her: "Yuxi, how about we make an agreement too?"
"Uncle Kai, what's the agreement?" Xia Yuxi was quite curious.
Xia Zekai thought for a while and said, "What do you like..."
Before he finished speaking, the door opened, and his uncle Xia Weiguo and his second brother's father-in-law Dong Guochuan came in together.
After seeing Xia Zekai, Xia Weiguo shouted happily: "Zekai, when did you come back and why didn't you call me?"
"Uncle, Uncle Dong, I came back a few days ago and have been busy, otherwise I would have come over to see you two." Xia Zekai pointed to the two boxes of wine on the ground: "This is a good choice for you two.
Drink the wine slowly. During the Chinese New Year, I have prepared others in the capital."
"Oh, the Chinese New Year is coming in more than a month, it's so fast!" Xia Weiguo said.
Dong Guochuan said: "You guys sit down first and I'll fry some vegetables."
He used to be a professional chef, and his skills have never faded, and the dishes he cooks are quite delicious.
…
In the living room, Xia Weiguo also started chatting. He asked Xia Zekai, "Zekai, how are your parents doing in the capital?"
They are ordinary parents. Xia Zekai was quite disgusted with these things in his previous life. He always felt that the older generation had nothing to say except these things, but now he just wants to talk to his parents and uncles. This at least proves that they are all okay.
, and also know that they care about each other.
"It's good, you don't have to worry about them."
Xia Weiguo looked at his two sons and his eldest nephew and said, "You are all grown up, and your father and I are also old."
"Hey, uncle, don't say that, my dad is practicing peerless magic at home every day!" Xia Zekai said.
Why does it sound out of tune?
Not to mention Xia Weicheng, even brothers Xia Yunfei and Xia Yunhui were stunned after hearing this.
"What's going on? Your dad still believes in religion over there?" Xia Weicheng asked him.
Xia Zekai knew that his uncle had misunderstood, so he quickly waved his hand and said: "It's not that, he is practicing left-right fighting with Zhou Botong!"
Having said this, he stretched out his hands and gestured: "He plays chess with his left hand and his right hand. Can you believe it, sir?"
"If someone didn't know my dad and saw him muttering, he would think he was possessed!"
"Haha, this brother of mine first went fishing, but now he is obsessed with playing chess. He has the same temperament as your grandfather." Xia Weiguo said.
He was still a little sad when he mentioned his deceased father.
Xia Zekai noticed it, and he changed the subject with a smile: "Uncle, you are right. My dad is like an old kid now. He catches the fourth child and the youngest brother every day and has to teach them how to play chess. What do you think?
What are these things?"
"Hehe, that's great!" Xia Weiguo said.
Xia Yunhui went to the kitchen and cut a plate of fruit and brought it out. He said, "Zekai, eat it first and eat dumplings later."
"Hey!" The four of them said.
Xia Jingrui, Amy, and Xia Yuxi's three children also chimed in from time to time. With three generations living under one roof, the family seemed very lively.
While chatting and talking, Dong Guochuan quickly cooked a few dishes to go with the wine.
There would be beef dumplings later, but he didn't fry them much.
After the dishes were brought over, the three brothers drank slowly with the two elders. As soon as they had a glass of wine, Xia Zekai smelled the aroma.
"Yunhui, the dumplings are ready, come here and serve them." Second sister-in-law Dong Fei called to him.
The second brother stood up and went to the kitchen.
Seeing his second brother bringing out two plates of steaming dumplings, Xia Zekai was also greedy and directed his eldest nephew: "Jingrui, go get some vinegar and put some sesame oil on it."
"Uncle Kai, okay." The little guy ordered and ran to the kitchen.
He also worked hard for his Mercedes-Benz Big G.
Seeing the little guy running so happily, the whole family laughed.
Waiting for the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law to come out, the whole family gathered around the table and talked while eating. The atmosphere was very good.
After eating, Xia Zekai didn't even go back to the villa area. He just chatted with his second brother. He felt a little sleepy, so he went upstairs to lie down with his elder brother for a while.
…
At the same time, in Beijing, Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo promoted Toutiao Express Edition and Douyin even more vigorously.
Toutiao has money, and for the time being, it has sufficient reserve funds, so they went directly to CCTV to advertise.
Beijing Perfect Technology, the parent company of Douyin, does not have so much money for the time being, so the cost of advertising on CCTV is a bit too high.
But Liang Rubo also has a way. Because Douyin is consistent with the promotion routine of the "Today's Toutiao Express Edition", it just keeps shamelessly riding on the popularity of "Today's Toutiao Express Edition".
On the Internet and in real life, the discussion about these two products has never stopped, which makes people feel sad.
What kind of confidence do these two network products have to dare to make such publicity?
And since they went online, they have really been fulfilling their promises.
Not to mention those who save cards to exchange for mobile phones, some people who specialize in buying gold coins on the platform have discovered a few tricks and are ready to carry out this 'business' of buying gold coins to the end.
Some people simply got a few broken mobile phones and used the ID cards of their parents, brothers and sisters to re-register some mobile phone cards that they rent almost every month.
Not only did they grind gold coins and collect wool from the platform, they also found a knock on the door to make money faster.
Just invite new users.
According to the policy given by the platform, the bonus for inviting a new user is 29 yuan. Although the Toutiao Express version is a bit difficult, the Douyin short video platform is a new product, plus you have registered for Douyin.
There are too few people on the account, so it’s really easy to gather this money.
They recognized this, bought a batch of toys worth five or six yuan, printed out the invitation codes, and promoted them offline in places such as squares, parks, shopping malls, and intersections with heavy traffic.
Don't tell me, this job is really profitable.
After some people tasted the benefits, they worked even harder.
They will even promote it to new users who have just registered, telling them the 'benefits' and 'methods' involved. In this way, a layer-by-layer network is formed, somewhat similar to a pyramid scheme.
On the contrary, due to this kind of "viral" publicity and sharing, the number of user registrations of Douyin short videos has been rising steadily, which made Liang Rubo dumbfounded.
I always feel that this background data grows too fast and is unscientific!
Since he started the platform, there has never been an APP product whose data growth rate is the same as that of Douyin short video.
After much deliberation, Liang Rubo attributed all this abnormal rise to this strange trick given by Brother Xia.
At this moment, Liang Rubo remembered something. He was planning to hold a meeting with Brother Xia to discuss the future trend of Douyin short videos.
Because of the bonuses shared by referrals and the redemption bonuses taken out, Perfect Technology’s new product Douyin also burned money faster than Liang Rubo expected.
The original funds are already stretched thin and must be injected quickly.
…
"Brother, you look like you've lost a lot of weight. Tell me, is it because my sister-in-law abused you and didn't let you eat?" When Zhao Ting saw his cousin Xia Zekai, he directly teased him.
Xia Zekai glanced at him and said to him: "Brother, it's okay if I'm a little thinner, but your weight is a bit dangerous."
He said: "Even if you jump into the river, the lifebuoy on your belly won't be able to hold you up."
"Dad, I said you are fat!" said my cousin's son Zhao Zhengguang.
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room started laughing.
Cousin Zhao Ting has indeed gained a lot of weight.
Not only is he fat, but his cousin-in-law Qi Lixin is also fat.
Xia Zekai thought, it's been a long time since we last seen each other, you all have become fat and strong, you can walk out of the fence in no time!
"Brothers, you have to control yourself." Xia Zekai said to them.
Zhao Ting waved his hand: "Brother Kai, I also want to control it, but I have been too busy recently and have no time to go for a run."
"Me too, I just opened a new store and there are not enough staff. It is so busy that I can't leave. Now it is difficult to walk and exercise." Qi Lixin yelled.
Xia Zekai didn't want to talk about them. After all, after life got better, people became lazy, and there seemed to be N reasons for something as simple as moving one's legs.
However, the cousin Zhao Yan next to me complained: "Lao Qi, what's going on with you? Haven't you counted yet?"
"Don't look at your blood pressure and how high your blood sugar is now. You really need to exercise to lose weight," Zhao Yan said.
Hearing what his cousin said, his eldest brother Xia Yunfei blinked and glanced at his cousin-in-law Qi Lixin: "Old Qi, your blood sugar is high?"
"Hey, it's a little taller, but it doesn't matter." He said.
The second brother Xia Yunhui said to him: "You have to pay attention, high blood sugar is still quite troublesome, especially if it turns to diabetes in the later stage, the comprehensive complications will be difficult to deal with."
"Well, brother, I know everything!" Qi Lixin said with a smile.
Come on, this kind of thing has to be done consciously. We all have adults at the top and young at the bottom. There is no need for anyone to educate others.
However, when drinking at night, he still consciously asked Qi Lixin to drink less to avoid any real problems.
"Brother, pour me some more, it'll be fine."
No one expected that Qi Lixin would take the initiative to drink.
Xia Zekai couldn't say anything else. He said, "It's just this time. You can't drink like this next time."
"Hey, if you hadn't come back, Brother Kai, I would have stopped drinking." Qi Lixin said.
Xia Zekai didn't believe what he said now.
I thought to myself that he was probably greedy for wine.
The couple of nights were very lively, and until the end of the show, when they went home, they told each other to take care of themselves, and everything else was in vain.
"Brother Kai, you are right, it is really impossible not to pay attention to your body." Qi Lixin said, shaking his head.
Xia Zekai glanced at him, got in the car and returned to the villa area.
…
Later, Xia Zekai had nothing to do in Qicheng for the time being. In the next two days, he also went to his brother-in-law Luo Xincheng to chat with his mother-in-law for a while.
He looked at the child.
Everything is going well, Xia Zekai is becoming more and more relieved.
It is worth mentioning that his father-in-law Luo Qing also retired, but because his social security contributions were not enough, his brother-in-law Luo Xincheng directly paid the full amount in one lump sum.
Luo Qing kept saying: "The current policy is better, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get this treatment."
This makes it easier.
…
As the time gets closer and closer to the 6th, the annual party of Qicheng Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. is also approaching. Wang Yewei has already taken people to the Qicheng Sports Center to arrange the scene.
Xia Zekai also started calling a few close friends and invited them to come over to attend the company's annual party on the 6th.
This includes Pan Qin and others whom he has not contacted for a long time.
After receiving Xia Zekai's call, Pan Qin was particularly surprised. They had not contacted each other for a long time.
In the past two years, Pan Qin and her husband have been busy guiding students, traveling abroad, exchanging their "resources" for money, and they have done it very well.
Occasionally, they bring back some rare domestic specialties from abroad and sell them in their Taobao store, and the business is pretty good.
This also allows them to explore an unconventional path.
