"Brother, are we still parking in the villa area last time?" Xia Zejiang called again.
Xia Zekai said: "I told you where you are going and what you are doing. You have moved to the courtyard here in Shichahai."
"I'll send you a location on WeChat. You can come directly here." Xia Zekai said, "I'll be waiting for you at the door."
"Okay, brother, we should be not far away." Xia Zejiang said.
Xia Zekai used WeChat to send his brother the location, and soon received a reply: "There are still 20 kilometers."
"That's at least an hour." Xia Zekai muttered to himself.
"Zekai, they are almost here." His father Xia Weicheng came over again and asked him.
Xia Zekai said 'hmm': "Dad, it's almost time. We'll be there in an hour at most."
"Ouch, this is a whole day of running from morning to now!" Xia Weicheng said.
But that's not it. It's only around four o'clock in the afternoon, and there are already signs of darkness. The days are a bit shorter in winter.
"Then I'll ask your mother and the others to prepare the meal." Xia Weicheng said.
"Okay, prepare more. There are many people, and there will be nothing left over. Don't run out of food." Xia Zekai emphasized again.
Xia Weicheng felt that he had been educated by his son on such a trivial matter. He turned around and glanced at his son, stared stubbornly and said, "I still need you to tell me!"
"Okay, go and do your work. It's cold outside, so don't wait here." Xia Zekai asked him to go back quickly.
"Dad, we're almost there." Yatou and Tongtong ran over together.
"It's coming, it's coming, don't ask anymore." Xia Zekai rubbed his temples, feeling a little tired.
While the father and daughter were talking, Xia Zekai's cell phone rang again. When he saw that it was Li Mumu calling, he picked up the call.
"Lao Li, what's wrong?"
"Boss, we've arrived at the Beijing station and want to have a meal with you!" Li Mumu would not be polite to Xia Zekai at this point.
Xia Zekai didn't expect that they would come today as well.
He quickly said: "Okay, come over to my courtyard."
Li Mumu was embarrassed: "Boss, I can't remember the address."
"I really have you. What else can you remember? I'll send you the location. How many people are there in total? Come over by taxi." Xia Zekai said and sent the location.
"Dad, are they calling you?" Tongtong asked with her little face raised.
Xia Zekai nodded with a smile: "It's your Uncle Li, not our uncle."
"Which Uncle Li?" The sisters were confused.
Xia Zekai said: "You remember Uncle Li, who used to sell things in the garage with his father, right?"
"Oh, him!" Tongtong nodded fiercely, she must remember it.
"Today is such a good day, we all came together." Xia Zekai said with a smile.
…
40 minutes later, Li Mumu and the others took a taxi.
It could have been faster, but the train station was too congested.
"Boss, there are so many cars today. Damn it, I don't feel it when I come here normally," Li Mumu said.
Next to him is his wife Huang Shuangshuang.
Xia Zekai called his sister-in-law and asked him: "Old Li, what do my eldest nephews hope for?"
"He, he went to celebrate the New Year with his grandpa and grandma, and he didn't come with me." Li Mumu muttered, and then said: "He said that he is still young and will have many opportunities to come to watch the Spring Festival Gala in the future. He thinks that his mother and I are too old.
, let’s see first, he will be watching us on TV then.”
"Haha, haha, I think my eldest nephew can do it. He has this energy and is very confident." Xia Zekai laughed.
In the courtyard, Luo Xiyun asked Jiang Ningning and the others to continue cooking. She also came out. Seeing Xia Zekai chatting with his old colleagues from the company, she greeted with a smile: "Zekai, why didn't you let Mr. Li and Mr. Yan go first?
Come home."
"Yes, Lao Li, Lao Yan, Lao Lu, come in quickly and rest for a while." He said.
At this time, except for Yan Jinghua, Li Mumu, Lu Huan, and Huang Ying, no one else had ever seen Xia Zekai's courtyard house.
The dusty walls carry a sense of vicissitudes of time.
The wooden door is covered with brass door nails. Other than that, there is really nothing surprising about it.
Which place here is worthy of being the richest man in the country?
Just as they were about to go in to see if there was anything else going on inside, they saw a bus coming not far away and stopped on their side.
"Oh, what a coincidence, they are here too." Xia Zekai said with a smile.
Hearing what the boss said, Li Mumu and Yan Jinghua also stopped and followed the boss to look over.
When he saw an old man getting off the stopped bus, the boss had already stepped forward to greet him: "Uncle, you guys are welcome."
"You kid, it's so cold that you have to wait outside."
"Zekai, it's really hard to find this place!" said the eldest brother Xia Yunfei who got off the car behind him.
Xia Zekai shook his head: "How is it possible? Prince Gong's Mansion is right next to it and not far away. The driver said it's hard to find it? I have to ask him carefully."
The driver in the car trembled at what he said. At first he thought the people in the car were joking, but he never expected that they were really coming to the Imperial City to visit relatives.
And it’s half a car full of people when you arrive, how can you live and drive?
But after seeing these unfathomable courtyards, he stopped thinking about this issue.
It looks unremarkable from the outside, but who knows how big it is inside and how many rooms it has?
It seems that with a squeeze, these people can fit in.
"Zekai, where are Yatou and Tongtong?" Mother-in-law Liu Chunhua came down. Just as she was talking, the two sisters shouted "Grandma" and ran towards her.
Luo Xiyun came out again at this time. She ran towards her parents: "Dad, Mom, you've got it."
"Ah, sister Amy..."
Xia Weicheng and Li Mumu came out of the yard after hearing the sound and said hello. They saw their eldest brother Xia Weiguo again and hurried over to say hello.
"Brother!" Xia Weicheng shouted to Xia Weiguo.
"Weicheng, have you lost weight?" Xia Weiguo also said to him.
"Second uncle!" Xia Yunhui also greeted him.
For a moment, the area at the door seemed particularly lively.
Xia Yunhui saw Li Mumu, and he quickly came over to say hello to Li Mumu: "Mr. Li, you are here too!"
"This is not about following the boss, getting a good deal, and going to the Spring Festival Gala the day after tomorrow." Li Mumu said.
"Oh, that's good." Xia Yunhui was still a little envious, but he also knew that he had worked hard for it himself, so he let it go.
In a short period of time, more than 40 people gathered at the door, which made it really lively.
Xia Zekai also shouted: "Daughter-in-law, please take our mother and the others in first, and the children will follow. Don't catch a cold outside."
"Xiao Xia, there are a lot of New Year's goods brought from home in the luggage compartment down there. They are all packed in basins and clean buckets, and sealed with plastic wrap." Shen Qishan, my brother's father-in-law, shouted.
Xia Zekai said "Hmm" and called out: "Xiao Wang, go ask someone to come over and unload the truck."
After a while, more than a dozen smartly dressed young people came out of the courtyard. The speed of unloading the goods made the driver of the bus look sideways. He kept searching his brain, wondering whose house this was and why there was still something in the house.
Support so many young people?
The speed at which he works and the strict rules and regulations make him look like he is not an ordinary person. He is like a bodyguard of a wealthy family, and he is well-trained.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the young man who was suspected to be the owner of this place coming over and asking him: "Master, park your car in my underground parking lot, and you can come down and have something to eat."
Hearing what he said, the driver quickly waved his hand: "Thank you, no need. I have to continue to the next place, and there are people waiting for me over there."
They came from Qicheng, so they definitely couldn't go back empty-handed. They had already contacted them in advance.
"It's okay, the meal is ready. Please park your car in front of my door and come down to have a quick bite." Xia Zekai said another way.
He said: "Don't worry, stop the car. No one here will dare to check you."
Hearing what he said, the two people in the car were really moved. However, the driver did have other orders. After delivering Xia Yunfei and the others, he had to rush over to pick up the people there.
But Xia Zekai refused: "Master, no matter how anxious you are, you still have to eat a meal to cushion your stomach and rest for a while. Driving while fatigued is too dangerous."
But the driver refused to go, so Xia Zekai finally asked Wang Yi to pack some food at home and deliver it over: "Master, take it with you to eat on the road."
"Hey, thank you!" The driver took it this time.
After all the things were unloaded, they left.
Xia Zekai greeted his family and people from his company to come in.
Yan Jinghua, Li Mumu, and Lu Chen got together to discuss whether they should find a place to stay alone tonight. With such relatives coming from the boss's family, they couldn't compete with the boss's relatives for a place to stay.
But after entering the courtyard, they no longer considered this issue.
"Lao Yan, you guys will stay in Courtyard No. 4 for the night." Xia Zekai made arrangements and said, "Let's have dinner here first."
Hearing what he said, Yan Jinghua and the others felt relieved and followed the boss inside.
After passing through the courtyards, everyone couldn't help but sigh after seeing the original appearance of the courtyard: "This house is really beautiful."
Then a question popped up: "How big is he?"
But no one could explain clearly, and no one had the nerve to ask Xia Zekai, so they followed him to the two rooms used to entertain guests, which were the rooms where Yatou, Tongtong and the others last invited their classmates to dinner.
Let alone four tables, two more are more than enough.
"Let's just sit down and have some food first. If we have any questions, we can talk about it later." Xia Zekai said to his wife: "Daughter-in-law, let Sister Jiang and the others serve the food first."
"Wait a moment, I'll go take a look." Luo Xiyun turned around and prepared to go out.
At this time, the eldest brothers Xia Yunfei and Xia Zejiang stood up together.
Xia Yunfei said: "Sister, the ones we brought here include beef, donkey meat, and dog meat that I braised in my hometown. Just cut them up and serve them."
No one mentioned that dog meat would not be served at the table, they were all our own people.
"Sister-in-law, my parents fried some saury, ribs, and fried meat in Qicheng, and put them together. Just oil them again and put them on the plate."
Luo Xiyun told them: "What are you doing with this? Zekai and I have already prepared it and bought more specially."
"Hey, sister-in-law, that's different, I did it myself." Xia Zejiang said with a smile.
Xia Zekai called Wang Yi and the others to move the wine.
After coming back, he said: "Dad, uncle, uncles, let's have two more drinks tonight. If you are tired later, you can rest first. If you are not tired, I will take you out to watch the lanterns."
When greeting a family of relatives, Xia Zekai did not forget to greet his old heroes: "And Lao Li, Lao Yan, you are the same. There is no need to go to the party tonight. Drink more and try the good things I saved.
Don't save the wine for me. If you feel sleepy at night, go to bed."
"If you're not sleepy, let's go watch the lanterns together." Xia Zekai emphasized: "When you come to my place, you are also going home, you all know that."
Compared with Zhang San, Wang Yewei, and Guo Ying, Liang Kun, Lu Xiuping, and the others still have shorter contact time with the boss, let alone compared with the time the five vice presidents have with the boss.
Hearing the boss keep emphasizing that coming to his place was like going home, the two of them felt warm in their hearts and felt different.
If they won a big prize of a Mercedes-Benz S350 and got tickets to the Spring Festival Gala, this already made them feel like smoke was coming out of their ancestral graves, but Xia Zekai's 'recognition' of them suddenly made them feel something else.
It's nothing.
Xia Weicheng and Zhou Yinghong also went to chat with their eldest brother, in-laws, mother-in-law, and several other elderly people. Most of the children followed their mothers.
Yatou and Tongtong became the kings of children now, and they got together with Sister Amy, Brother Jingrui, and Sister Yuxi. Yatou and Tongtong insisted on getting toys for them, but they were about to eat, and were stopped by Luo Xiyun.
Already.
Luo Xiyun also said: "When you have a full meal later, you can play as you like. You don't have to sleep tonight."
When Yatou and Tongtong heard this, their eyes widened.
"Mom is so kind, I won't sleep tonight." She yelled.
Luo Xiyun stretched out her hands and carefully went to hug her brother's nephew Luo Hongyu. Although this little guy didn't give Xia Zekai face at first, when Luo Xiyun wanted to hug him, the little guy cooperated and stretched out his hands.
"Hongyu, call me aunt, hurry up and call me aunt." Luo Xiyun was particularly interested in this child.
"Mom, give me a hug!" Qingyu, Chenchen and Jingling saw this and started making trouble again.
Liu Chunhua finally saw the lumps in these three babies, and regardless of their objections, she hugged them one by one and made them intimate for a while.
Not long after, these children started playing together.
Jiang Ningning, Ren Ping and Zhu Feng'e started cooking with all their strength.
Fortunately, many of them are finished products and can be heated up. Otherwise, it would be really busy for four tables of dishes.
When serving the dishes, Wang Yi and the others specially arranged for four people to take on this task.
Xia Zekai also specially said to Wang Yi and others: "Xiao Wang, you should eat when you should, remember."
"Hey, boss, don't worry, we can't do anything wrong to ourselves." Wang Yi had a serious expression on his face.
Xia Zekai just ignored them.
A family of relatives and friends gathered together, and Xia Zekai felt that he would definitely have a comfortable time this year.
He also said: "Today's preparations are a bit hasty. What do you want to eat or do tomorrow? Just tell me, Wangfujing Street is nearby, and Xidan is not far away."
"Prince Gong's Mansion is right next to it, and the Imperial City is not far from here. Think about it, I'll get two minibuses tomorrow and we can have enough fun," Xia Zekai said.
