Just as Xia Zekai thought, his brother Xia Zejiang and his girlfriend Shen Jiayi had just boarded the five-star bus back to Jicheng. The bus had just left the Qicheng long-distance bus station for a few minutes.
The snacks he bought were all put out, and he was going to have a big meal with Shen Jiayi to relieve the boredom of returning to the city.
When I heard the text message notification tone on my phone, I thought it was from his brother, so I took out my phone and took a look.
It was really his brother who replied. Xia Zejiang even glanced at his girlfriend Shen Jiayi: "My brother responded to the text message..."
He was very happy at first, but after reading the text message, he became less calm and had a tangled expression on his face.
"Zejiang, what's wrong with you? What did your brother say?" Shen Jiayi saw her boyfriend's expression was wrong and quickly asked him with concern.
Xia Zejiang shook his head: "It's okay. My brother knows that I lied to him about returning to Jicheng. I'm depressed!"
"puff!"
Shen Jiayi was eating biscuits and drinking juice when she suddenly heard what Xia Zejiang said. She couldn't help but want to laugh. She opened her mouth and spit out the words.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and covered it with her hands to prevent it from squirting out.
But even so, the sprayed fruit juice and biscuit mixture still spilled onto the back of the seat in front and on Xia Zejiang's pants. Fortunately, there were not many people in the car and there was no one in front of them, so it didn't get in the way.
Xia Zejiang looked at her with resentful eyes.
Shen Jiayi felt embarrassed and said quickly: "Let me wipe it for you. Really, it's not because you are doing things so funny that I can't hold it back. Why don't you just smile!"
What she said made sense. Xia Zejiang was speechless and quickly took out toilet paper and handkerchiefs from his backpack to wipe the juice and biscuit residue on his pants and the back of the seat.
After cleaning up, it took a few minutes. Xia Zejiang looked at the large area of wetness on his pants. He looked around and saw that there were people sitting behind him. Forget it, he got off the car and went to the toilet to change into a clean pair.
After calming down, Shen Jiayi reminded him: "What should I do? Do you want to call your brother and say something?"
"I have to say it, but there is no rush now. Let's talk about it after we get off the car." Xia Zejiang said.
He was thinking about how to organize his words to make his explanation more beautiful and perfect, but he thought of several reasons, but he rejected them all. In the end, he obediently took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to his brother.
Just four words: "Brother, I was wrong!"
After the message was sent out, nothing happened.
They didn't receive any reply until they got off the bus.
Xia Zejiang felt uneasy and irritable. He felt that something very important was lost because of his own work. He had some thoughts along the way. When he was almost at school by bus, his cell phone rang. He quickly looked at it.
I glanced at it and saw that it was a message from his brother Xia Zekai.
"I fell asleep just now. If you do this to me next time, I will beat you to death."
After seeing this text message, Xia Zejiang's heart suddenly relaxed, and he felt a little more relaxed.
Shen Jiayi has been paying attention to her boyfriend's situation. Seeing him relax again, knowing that everything is okay, she raised her hand and slapped him: "Tell me, you are really unreliable in doing things. Tell the truth. What's wrong?"
, I am so shameless."
Good guy, this can all be blamed on him. Xia Zejiang had to say a few nice words and coax him first.
After Xia Zekai woke up, he saw that it was still daylight outside. He secretly rejoiced that it was lucky that it didn't get dark all the time.
I looked at the time on my phone again and saw that it was past five o'clock. I looked at the unread text message from his brother and sent him a message back and ignored it.
He woke up Luo Xiyun: "Daughter-in-law, wake up, let's go out to have some food."
"I'm sleepy, I'm still sleeping!" Luo Xiyun shouted.
How could Xia Zekai let her be so willful? He started scratching her creaks and woke up Luo Xiyun. Seeing that she was about to get angry, he said: "It's already five o'clock now. If you go to bed again, you can still sleep at night."
Can you sleep?"
"Then you didn't tell me earlier."
It was already past six o'clock when the family came out of the house. At this time, the heat outside at noon was gone, and there was a bit of wind blowing, making it quite cool.
The east-west trail between Qiyun Garden Community and Lin'ao Community is very lively with bright lights and loud sounds at night.
There are already tables lined up on both sides of the road, which are all businesses of the restaurants on both sides. There are all kinds of specialties such as fried chicken, barbecue, grilled fish and so on.
"What do you want to eat?" Xia Zekai asked the three mothers.
I didn't go to any oasis or Century Hotel today to have a family meal. This kind of small restaurant is more delicious.
Before Luo Xiyun could say anything, the fat girl Tongtong shouted: "Dad, eat meat, I want to eat meat."
She pointed to the barbecue not far away that was emitting green smoke, and began to swallow saliva in her little mouth.
The girl has no insistence on eating, she just goes with the flow.
Luo Xiyun also wanted to have some barbecue, but she dressed up specially when she went out. Looking at the clothes she specially put on, she frowned: "I have to wash it again when I go back."
After eating the barbecue, I had a strange smell of charcoal smoke and barbecue mixed together, which was not pleasant.
Xia Zekai took them to the end of the road, where there was a 'Taoyuan BBQ' that also cooked food.
Xia Zekai was assured of his meat, but nothing else mattered.
I said hello to the boss and ordered skin-on pork belly, lean pork, mutton, some shrimps, vegetables, and some easy-to-chew tofu for the girl and the other two. It was perfect.
The waiter in the store brought the half-cooked barbecue and put it on a small square with an open mouth. Before the grilling started, Tongtong reached out and tried to grab it. Luo Xiyun reacted quickly and slapped her in the face:
"Eating it raw will cause diarrhea. I will put such a long needle in your butt when the time comes. Don't let it hurt."
The gestures she made with her two hands were twenty centimeters long, which was exaggerated, but the effect was so effective that Tongtong was greatly frightened.
The girl sat on the horse and looked around, not knowing what she was looking at.
After Xia Zekai, the 'barbecue chef', finished roasting the first batch and distributed it to the three mothers, he got busy again.
Tongtong's little chubby hand directly grabbed the iron drill and put the meat into his mouth. While eating, he said: "It's delicious, it's really delicious."
The girl is not very interested in meat. After eating two shrimps, she started to eat tofu one bite at a time. It was really sad to see her little body without any flesh.
"Daughter-in-law, when you were a child, you always made choices about whether you ate this or not. Look, this girl is almost like you." Xia Zekai was quick to talk, prompting Luo Xiyun to give him two slaps.
"You're a bitch!" Luo Xiyun said to him.
A shop selling yogurt, boiled corn, and roasted sweet potatoes came over from the east. The girl got excited. She pointed at the cart and shouted: "Mom, I want to eat that."
At last, Luo Xiyun took his boss over to buy boiled corn and roasted sweet potatoes. Xia Zekai was speechless when he saw it: "Daughter, you don't eat meat?"
"Eat, I'm full, I want to eat this."
Come on, Xia Zekai didn't care about her anymore. Anyway, she didn't become disabled and she was still a tall and graceful girl.
He dipped himself in the garlic sauce and took a bite of the barbecue. It tasted so delicious!
"Zekai, is your QQ space log really popular?" Luo Xiyun felt almost ready after eating for a while, so he took over Xia Zekai's "barbecue" job and asked him.
Xia Zekai nodded: "How can it be false? Wife, let me tell you. Today the editor of Sina contacted me and reprinted the second article I just wrote in the afternoon. I wrote this article deliberately.
It will be more topical, and the popularity should be no less than the first article by then."
Luo Xiyun didn't know what she was thinking. She suddenly said: "Then why don't you ask for royalties from him?"
"(one_one)" Xia Zekai stared at his wife. He only cares about money so much that he can say this.
He explained: "I can't ask for this money. I made a condition for him. The link to my Taobao store must be included. It must be valid. This can directly attract traffic to my Taobao store. That's three melons and two dates of royalties."
How much talent do you have?”
Luo Xiyun pouted: "Don't look down on the royalties from these three melons and two dates. Let me tell you, in the past, I wished I could break every penny in half and spend it."
…
The two little guys got enough sleep in the afternoon. After returning from outside, they played until almost ten o'clock in the evening before they felt sleepy.
Xia Zekai couldn't sleep either, so he took the time to turn on his computer and take a look at his QQ space log. The latest log discussing real estate had more than 8,000 views, a few hundred likes, and over a thousand comments.
Sure enough, just as Xia Zekai thought, this blog was very topical, and the comment area was divided into those who were on the side of rising housing prices and those who were falling on housing prices, and there was no middle ground.
This is very interesting.
Those who hold the concept of falling house prices are because last year's subprime mortgage crisis has not yet passed. They think that countries in the eastern United States have been ruined by this. How can the country be better?
And there are all kinds of people holding on to rising house prices.
From national policies to the next step of economic development, everything is messy.
Xia Zekai sat in front of the computer and watched the show. He felt as if everyone was drunk and I was alone.
Luo Xiyun came over wearing a pair of suspender pajamas. The light pink tight-fitting suspender pajamas perfectly outlined the lines of her body. Coupled with the looming part in the front, Xia Zekai could see clearly when she lowered her body slightly.
When I was twenty-seven or eighty-years-old, I had just given birth to two children, which was the time when I was like a flower.
Xia Zekai couldn't help but swallowed. Before Luo Xiyun could ask him about the diary, he couldn't wait to pick him up and roll him on the bed.
After finishing, Luo Xiyun still blamed him: "I just took a shower."
"Then wash it again and I'll wash it for you!" Xia Zekai said with a stern look on his face, his eyes shining brightly.
This was a good idea, but Luo Xiyun didn't use it: "Get out of here."
She left by herself without bothering to ask about the diary. She washed herself again and went to bed.
Xia Zekai turned off the computer when it was almost twelve o'clock, went over to help his daughter pee, and then fell asleep next to his wife.
Monday is the busiest time of the week, and all kinds of nonsense are concentrated on this day. Generally, after Wednesday, the week seems to be over.
When Luo Xiyun left, he said: "I have to work overtime tonight. If you are hungry, you should eat first."
"Are you going to have a meeting?" Xia Zekai asked casually.
Luo Xiyun nodded: "In July, people from the headquarters will come to inspect. Mr. Qi attaches great importance to it and requires all departments to start organizing 5S on-site. Anyway, they just spend money on cleaning."
"Big company disease!" Xia Zekai lamented. The disease must be cured.
Luo Xiyun gave him a "poof" and left.
Xia Zekai saw that the time had reached seven o'clock, then he woke up his two girls, got busy, and went out with the two dressed little sisters.
After sending them to the kindergarten, Xia Zekai talked to Wang Deshun for a while. More and more children were sent to the kindergarten, so Xia Zekai left.
I went to a roadside fast food restaurant and bought half a kilogram of fried dough sticks. I paired it with a bowl of tofu puffs sprinkled with coriander and a spoonful of red chili. It tasted so delicious.
"In these days, you really can't exchange it for gold." Xia Zekai thought happily.
After finishing the meal, I went to look around the store first. Guo Ying and the other three were already at work and were sorting the shelves.
Seeing Xia Zekai coming, Guo Ying caught him and complained: "Boss, please recruit another person for me. Three people are too busy."
"Well, let me take a look and recruit the right ones for you," Xia Zekai said.
This attitude was as perfunctory as possible. Guo Ying didn't even bother to pay attention to him and went back to her business.
Xia Zekai went upstairs and took a look around. They were also filled with all kinds of snacks. They were no longer just selling melted beans.
However, compared with the sales volume of Rongdou, these snacks are barely there.
After coming down from the second floor, Xia Zekai rode his electric bike directly to the 'Jingtong Food Factory'.
As soon as he arrived here, he saw Zhang San and Liang Wenxiao cutting paper boxes and folding them into small paper boxes of various sizes for express delivery.
Li Mumu also helped them, and even the old accountant Sun Guoqiang, who had just arrived not long ago, was also doing this work.
Xia Zekai also asked them: "So many orders?"
"Boss, it's sold out. It's really sold out this time. All six of our ovens have been turned on, and we can barely keep up. But it won't work if it continues like this. I also want to tell you, boss, to work shifts."
Do it." Li Mumu shouted, his hands kept moving, he packed it quickly, and then printed the express delivery form.
Zhang San said: "Boss, you still have to recruit two people. Now we can't do the packaging, and the customer service staff are just me and Xiaoliang, and we are too busy."
"Boss, what did you do again? Why are there so many orders?" Zhang San didn't forget to ask him again.
The effect was so good, far beyond expectations, that Zhang San didn’t even know what to say.
Xia Zekai scolded him: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. There are still a few people left. I'll call Boss Li and ask him to hurry up and help recruit."
Sun Guoqiang said: "Boss, I think our factory should have its own human resources department to handle recruitment, attendance, and personnel management. We always let a third party do the recruiting. Not to mention the trouble, it is not reliable at critical moments."
"Well, I understand what you're saying, but we used to have a small number of people, and we only had two hands, so there's no use for it. It's only now that there are more people. Let's wait until we're busy." Xia Zekai accepted him.
suggestions.
He hurriedly went to call Li Yuanyang "Hey, hey, hey."
