In the dark night, the moon and a few scattered stars hung in the sky, and several cars were running fast on the highway. The sound of the tires rubbing against the ground seemed to make them eager to return home.
Xia Zekai squinted for a while after getting in the car. When he opened his eyes again, he looked at the watch on his wrist and saw that it was already past four o'clock.
The driver was replaced by Wu Jialei.
He asked: "Xiao Wu, where are you?"
"Boss, we'll be there soon." Wu Jialei said.
"We're almost home, thank you for your hard work!" Xia Zekai looked out the window, feeling more and more homesick.
Wu Jialei and Wang Yi, who was in the co-pilot, did not speak.
More than forty minutes later, the car drove directly into the underground parking lot of the courtyard.
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and it is still dark at this time.
Xia Zekai took the elevator up from the underground parking lot. When Liu Changzheng, who was guarding the elevator door, saw him, he instinctively shouted: "Boss!"
Wang Yi, Wu Jialei and others who followed him nodded to him, and Xia Zekai walked towards the backyard.
The courtyard was still quiet at the moment. Xia Zekai walked very lightly for fear of disturbing the rest of the family.
When they arrived at the couple's bedroom, Xia Zekai thought about opening the door gently so as not to disturb his wife's rest, but he didn't push it and it was locked inside.
Just when I was thinking about going to other rooms to rest for a while, who knew someone inside shouted: "Who is outside?"
"Daughter-in-law, it's me." Xia Zekai said.
He still blamed himself a little. He had gone to another room to sleep for a while, but he had woken up his wife again.
After a while, the door to the room opened. Luo Xiyun, wearing dark purple pajamas, stood in front of the door. She looked at Xia Zekai at the door and couldn't believe it: "Aren't you in Qicheng anymore?"
"I missed you. I rushed back overnight after attending the annual meeting." Xia Zekai had a particularly bright smile on his face.
Seeing his stupidity, Luo Xiyun was moved in her heart, stepped aside and said: "Come in quickly, it's cold outside, why are you standing there stupidly?"
"Look at my brain, I've even forgotten you when I saw you." Xia Zekai muttered.
He asked: "Girl, are they not in the house?"
"What are they doing here? They've already annoyed me during the day, and they're going to bother me again at night!" Luo Xiyun turned around and walked inside. The five siblings gathered together. One of them called out 'Mom', and the other followed suit.
And each voice is louder than the other, as if they are competing.
Like hundreds of ducks, it gave her a headache.
The next moment, she felt as if her body was flying, and she couldn't help but whisper: "Zekai, what are you doing?"
"Daughter-in-law, open the warehouse to store grain!" Xia Zekai said, holding his wife on his shoulders.
"If you don't put some more, the food will overflow."
…
When it was almost dawn, the couple cuddled together and lay side by side on the bed.
Luo Xiyun listened to her husband talk about returning to Qicheng, all the way to the annual meeting.
Luo Xiyun also teased him: "It's obviously the grand prize, why did you award it in advance?"
Xia Zekai held his wife's hand, raised it to his mouth, kissed it, and said mysteriously: "You don't understand!"
"You understand!" Luo Xiyun slapped him with his other hand.
"Mom, are you awake?" Tongtong's voice came from outside, and she said, "I think I heard you speak."
"Hey, why did Tongtong get up so early? Wife, hurry up and get dressed." Xia Zekai didn't care about kissing his wife anymore and got dressed quickly.
Luo Xiyun looked at his appearance and wanted to laugh a little: "Now I know I'm anxious. What did I do when I was grinding just now? You look like a bear."
"Mom, why are you so slow? Open the door quickly!" Tongtong shouted.
Luo Xiyun quickly put on her clothes, and Xia Zekai had already opened the door.
Tongtong was kicking her little feet outside and making kicking movements from time to time. It looked simple, smooth and powerful.
The speed is too fast, and it also makes a whistling sound. If some special effects are added, this is a girl's master.
Seeing the door of her mother's room open, but when she saw the person standing at the door, Tongtong couldn't believe it. She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes hard again, and then shouted in surprise: "Dad, you are not
You’re back in Qicheng, did you fly here?”
As he spoke, Tongtong jumped on Xia Zekai like a little lunatic, put his arms around his neck, and shouted several times happily: "Dad, hee hee, daddy."
"Tongtong, you are already a big girl, come down quickly and see what you look like." Xia Zekai said to her.
But Tongtong didn't care at all, she shouted: "Dad, you know, I miss you."
"Sister, I miss you too," she said.
Before Xia Zekai could say a word, she asked again: "Dad, have you bought me a gift?"
Xia Zekai did buy it, but it wasn't anything very good, just to make his siblings laugh.
He said: "You come down first, the gifts are kept at your Uncle Wang's place."
"Oh, then I have to hurry up and get it from Uncle Wang." Tongtong shouted: "While my sister is still awake, I have to pick and find something fun."
Xia Zekai didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard what Tongtong said.
As he spoke, Tongtong ran to find Wang Yi like a gust of wind.
Xia Zekai returned to the front and happened to meet his father Xia Weicheng who had just gotten up and went for a walk: "Zekai, why are you back?"
"Dad, I'll be back soon after I finish my work?" Xia Zekai didn't know what to say.
Xia Weicheng waved his hand: "That's not what I meant. Did you come back overnight?"
This question was even more disrespectful. Xia Zekai rolled his eyes: "Dad, I didn't come back overnight. Could it be that I came here from a somersault cloud?"
He said: "I just got home a few minutes ago."
"Yinghong, your son is back." Xia Weicheng called his wife.
After the girl also got up, she saw Xia Zekai standing in the yard. She was so happy that she shouted "Daddy" and, like Tongtong, jumped on her father's body.
"Dad, why are you back so soon? Have you finished your work?" The girl was a little worried, fearing that her father would say, 'I have to go out for a few more days.'
Xia Zekai saw the anticipation in his daughter's eyes. He smiled and said, "Dad didn't leave even before the year, so he was just here to play with you."
He said: "When you go to school, dad will have a meeting with Uncle Zhang and Uncle Liang, and promise not to delay school to pick you up home."
"Hey, dad is so kind." The girl was happy after hearing this.
"Come down, it's too heavy. Dad can't even hold you." Xia Zekai felt his hands were sore after holding him for a while.
The girl rolled her eyes: "Dad, you hate it, I only weigh a few dozen pounds..."
"Dad, give me a hug." Jing Ling jumped out of nowhere. When he saw his father holding his sister, he wanted to give her a hug too.
Immediately afterwards, Qingyu and Chenchen came out of nowhere, and they both wanted to give Xia Zekai a hug. This was very lively.
………………
Luo Xiyun was watching the fun on the side. She had been here like this for more than a week. Who said it was better to have more children? She didn't guarantee that she would kill him with an axe.
After Xia Zekai came back, his time became regular again.
Every morning I go to send Yatou and sisters Tongtong to school, and in the middle I will go to Toutiao or have a meeting at Yi Xingxing.
Occasionally, I would discuss with Liang Rubo the next development path of Perfect Technology.
However, Zhang Xu called Xia Zekai and told him that the 'Second Generation Xiao Ai Classmate' was selling very well after it was launched, which was a bit unexpected.
