At the celebration banquet in the evening, including Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun, there were 26 people.
After careful calculation, the ratio of men to women was seriously imbalanced, reaching 1:2. In the end, the tables were evenly divided according to the number of people, and those with some positions went to Xia Zekai's table.
Xia Zekai said a few words briefly. The main point is to encourage everyone to work hard, regardless of whether it is to support the family or spend it on yourself, and strive to earn more money.
In just five or six minutes, the speech ended, and then everyone started their own business.
Man Nana and the other six people had to go to the Jingtong Food Factory to work the night shift. When she came up, she took the lead in toasting Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun with drinks, which was very thoughtful.
The rest was just a glass of juice and she shared it with the others. The others knew that she was busy at night and didn't embarrass her.
After she left with four baking operators and two packers, the remaining 19 people got busy.
People like Li Mumu, Zhang San, Wang Yewei, and even Sun Guoqiang and Guo Ying all had a drink with Xia Zekai.
As long as the drink is open, there must be at least two drinks.
Knowing that Luo Xiyun still had to look after the child, no one went to propose a toast to the landlady.
Yatou and Tongtong were the only two children present. They told the uncles and aunts around them what they wanted to eat, and someone immediately turned the round table manually and put the dish in front of them.
There will also be caring aunties who will serve their favorite food directly into small bowls. The two little girls were very happy tonight.
Now they have a sip of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup, now they have a sip of Jinyu Mantang, and then they have pineapple rice. Their favorite tastes are basically on the sweeter side.
Meat is Tongtong's favorite, and she couldn't stop eating it. It didn't take long for her to eat a bowl of hard fried pork and elbows, and the aunts around her didn't dare to pick up vegetables for her.
This kid looks young, but he can eat so much. Don't let it ruin your stomach.
But looking chubby, it’s really fun.
Xia Zekai also took off his 'boss' skin tonight. He accepted everyone's toasts without rejecting them, and did not adulterate them. One was always the same. In the end, the people who toasted him were embarrassed to let him drink.
Drink too much.
When the show ended in the evening, Xia Zekai was fine, but he still let Luo Xiyun drive the car and take the three of them away.
Zhang San finally went to pay the remaining balance, which was less than 200 yuan in total. The meal was not necessarily affordable, but it was very high-quality and had noodles.
On the way back, Luo Xiyun also asked Xia Zekai: "Zekai, why didn't you let me check out just now?"
Yes, Luo Xiyun wanted to settle the bill when the banquet was about to end, but her husband didn't agree.
Xia Zekai said: "You can't get married. I asked when I came out to go to the bathroom. Xiao Zhang has already paid a deposit of 1,000 yuan. This guy is also a thief."
"Oh, with his little income, you can't bear to let him spend this money just because he has a seriously ill old man at home." Luo Xiyun almost complained about him directly.
Xia Zekai said: "I told Lao Sun to take the invoice and reimburse Zhang San tomorrow. If he doesn't want it, it will be transferred to his bank card when the salary is paid next month.
"
"Yeah!" Luo Xiyun nodded in response.
Xia Zekai didn't reply. Yatou and Tongtong were both sleepy. Luo Xiyun drove directly back to the community.
In the square brick parking space in front of Building 14, Luo Xiyun effortlessly found an empty parking space. After parking the car, he went upstairs with a child in his arms.
Xia Zekai also lamented that it is so good now. Just talk about this parking space. In a few years, you will not be able to find a parking space when you come back late in the afternoon. You can park on the side of the road at the risk of your car being scratched!
Ignoring his emotions, after entering the house, Xia Zekai cooperated with Luo Xiyun, quickly wiped the bodies of the two little sisters, and then put the two girls who were too sleepy to open their eyes on the bed and let them fall asleep.
"Zekai, turn down the air conditioner, don't let them both catch a cold." Luo Xiyun was taking a bath, suddenly remembered this matter, and shouted through the door.
"I adjusted it early, to 28 degrees. I will adjust it down later."
By the time Xia Zekai took a shower and came back to bed, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, and Luo Xiyun had already fallen asleep.
Xia Zekai slowly lay down, hugged his wife and fell asleep.
A restless night!
When I woke up early the next morning, it was Friday again, and the time passed by so fast.
"Zekai, are you busy tomorrow?" Luo Xiyun was making breakfast. When he saw Xia Zekai getting up early, he asked him.
Xia Zekai shook his head.
Luo Xiyun said: "If nothing happens, come with me home on Saturday. My mother told us to get a bucket of freshly squeezed peanut oil."
"Okay!" Xia Zekai agreed happily.
Almost every household in his mother-in-law's house grows peanuts, and the peanut oil is freshly squeezed from the peanuts they grow themselves. It is clean and has no additives!
Furthermore, even if I don't go back to get peanut oil, I should go back. The last time I went back was during the Qingming Festival. It would be outrageous to be away from home for a long time.
After Luo Xiyun finished breakfast at home, she put the empty bowl on the table and left. She had to fight those old guys today, and she was very confident at this time.
Luo Xiyun was really annoyed that Mr. Qi had to be brought out for every big thing. She thought about subduing them this time and asked them to act in accordance with the system in the future.
After Xia Zekai finished his work, he went to the bedroom and saw that the two sisters were still sleeping. Yatou was lying on his side and Tongtong was lying on his stomach. The sleeping posture of the two sisters was really different.
"Girl, Tongtong, get up quickly, we will go to your grandma's house to play tomorrow." Xia Zekai said.
This was useless, neither Yatou nor Tongtong were willing to get up, and in the end they were forced to get up by Xia Zekai.
At around 7:30, the three of them came down from upstairs. As soon as Tongtong saw her father's new van parked downstairs, she shouted: "Take a bus, take a bus!"
"Okay!" Xia Zekai agreed. He originally thought of walking them to the kindergarten and then driving back.
After opening the door for them and letting them sit in the middle row of seats, Xia Zekai slowly drove out of the community, then turned south, then west...
Can't walk anymore!
The front was crowded with people. Xia Zekai turned to look at each other and said, "Get out of the car!"
"Oh!" Tongtong was still a little reluctant.
When I got off the bus, I heard the heart-wrenching cries and noisy discussions from the crowd in front of me. The sounds were too mixed and too far away to be heard clearly.
Xia Zekai didn't pay attention, thinking that someone was riding too fast and hit someone. He quickly took the two sisters out of the car, locked the car door, and walked to the kindergarten entrance holding one by the other.
They were only halfway through when they stopped. Teacher Litui was opposite them, and she was anxiously trying to get into the crowd.
"Uuuu...why am I so miserable!"
"Hey, how did this child end up like this!"
"I said, can you all take a break and leave some space? Why are you all crowded here?"
"Is there anyone who drives? Hurry up and help take them to the hospital. If it's too late, it'll be too late."
"That bastard, why doesn't he die?"
"Those in front get out of the way and let me pass!"
Xia Zekai frowned slightly. When he heard these comments, he knew that he had gone astray and had not crashed the car.
He raised his feet and looked into the crowd again, and then he saw a woman with long chestnut-colored hair sitting on the ground. It was hot in July, but she was wearing gray long-sleeved pants, and she was not afraid.
Cover up the heat rash.
She was the one crying. In her arms lay a little girl wearing a pink skirt. She looked quite peaceful, but the bruises on her face and legs were so dazzling that the colors were so different from her skin.
Xia Zekai recognized it. Isn't this the little girl from that day?
When he saw that Litui hadn't gotten in yet, he pulled her and said, "Teacher Shi, what happened?"
"Ah, it's Mr. Xia. I just heard about it. Today Yuanyuan's mother came to take her to school. Yuanyuan seemed to have fainted while walking. I was wondering and took a quick look..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xia Zekai yelled: "Get the hell out of the way, why are you still squeezing in? What time has it been? You're still joining in the fun!"
He was tall and strong, and his hands were strong. He shouted at many people with his voice, and there were still a few people surrounding him. Xia Zekai was annoyed, and he handed the hands of Yatou and Tongtong to Litui:
"Teacher Shi, help me take a look at them."
The next moment, Xia Zekai stretched out his hand and grabbed the person in front of him and dragged him back hard. No matter who you are, I am not the king of heaven. You are still joining in the fun after this time.
Someone was pulled away by him and wanted to curse a few words, but when he saw Xia Zekai's size and the fierce look on his face at this time, he wisely kept his mouth shut.
Litui took the hands of Yatou and Tongtong and followed Xia Zekai in.
After seeing the people inside, she shouted: "Yuanyuan's mother, how are you? Please take Yuanyuan to the hospital as soon as possible."
"Teacher Shi, Yuanyuan fell to the ground while walking. I couldn't wake up no matter how much I screamed. What should I do? Wuwu..."
Xia Zekai was speechless upon hearing this. He was still in the mood to cry. He shouted, "Stop crying. I'll drive and take the child to the hospital as soon as possible."
It’s not that there are no cars or people driving nearby, but some people are just afraid of getting into trouble and don’t dare!
Xia Zekai didn't care about those stupid things. When he turned around to drive, he didn't forget to take a look at Yatou and Tongtong, who were holding Litui's hand.
The girl also shouted: "Dad, hurry up, Yuanyuan is my good friend."
Shi Rui couldn't care about anything else. When Xia Zekai went to drive, she hurriedly sent Yatou and Tongtong to the kindergarten and let them enter the teaching building. She then returned to the place where she was just now.
Xia Zekai had already driven the van over. This time, no one was crowding around to watch the fun. He quickly made way for him. Xia Zekai parked the car, got down and opened the door.
He shouted: "Can you pick me up? If you can, get in the car and go to the hospital first."
Teacher Li Li helped: "Mom Yuanyuan, I'll go with you."
Yuanyuan's mother, who was on the ground with long chestnut-colored hair, also came to her senses and hurriedly said to Xia Zekai: "Thank you, thank you!"
The tears on her face had already stained her makeup, so she couldn't care less. Litui helped her, and the two of them carried Yuanyuan, who was still unconscious, into the car.
Xia Zekai closed the car door and before leaving, he asked: "What, did that bastard hit her again?"
Yuanyuan's mother kept crying. When she heard Xia Zekai's question, she cried even more sadly. She didn't say a word, which was considered acquiescence.
Xia Zekai became very annoyed when he heard the crying. He said, "You are now a grown up. Can you please stop crying? I really admire you. Your daughter was beaten, why didn't you resist..."
Seeing Yuanyuan's mother crying even more sadly, Li Shirui said quickly: "Mr.
Xia Zekai rushed to Qicheng Central Hospital faster than usual.
I also ran a traffic light along the way, but I don’t know if it was photographed.
He couldn't care less. After arriving at the hospital, he finally parked the van at the entrance of the hospital and shouted: "Someone come quickly, the child is unconscious!"
There was a special first aid nurse and a nurse at the door. They quickly pushed the hospital bed out and put Yuanyuan on the hospital bed and pushed it in.
Litui also accompanied Yuanyuan’s mother in.
Xia Zekai's van was parked at the door, blocking the way. The security guard who kept staring at him asked him to drive away quickly. Xia Zekai said a few nice words with a smile, and quickly moved the car to an empty parking space next to it.
It only took three or four minutes before he entered the hospital again and asked a few people. After finding Teacher Li and others, he realized that the atmosphere here was a little too serious.
"What's going on?" Xia Zekai suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. Listening to Yuanyuan's mother still crying, he thought to himself, is it too late? Is there no hope?
He walked closer quickly and was about to ask what happened to Litmus. When his eyes fell on the emergency bed, his eyes suddenly froze.
The skirt of the unconscious little girl lying on the bed has been lifted up. She is wearing a pair of Doraemon's pink boxer briefs. There are black and blue scars all over her body, and some places have just formed blood scabs, which are new.
Wounds piled on top of old wounds...
The unconscious little girl frowned and groaned from time to time, with a look of pain on her face.
A doctor looked at a doctor in his forties and asked with a serious face: "What's going on?"
"When someone comes, call the police first!"
He had seen this kind of situation so many times that he could tell at a glance that it was another poor child.
After a nurse heard Director Liang calling the police, she quickly called.
On the contrary, Yuanyuan's mother, who has long chestnut-colored hair, heard the word 'call the police' and shouted quickly: "Don't call the police, doctor, please don't call the police, his father will beat us."
The nurse didn't care about this. She only listened to Director Liang and quickly called the police to explain the situation.
Seeing this scene, Yuanyuan's mother collapsed on the ground as if she was completely powerless. She grabbed the railings of the hospital bed and looked at her daughter lying on the bed. She closed her mouth and cried, which later turned into howling.
This cry was heartbreaking, filled with fear, and she didn't know what she had experienced...
The more I cried, the sadder I became. While crying, I shouted: "My poor child, why am I so miserable!"
Xia Zekai clenched his fists hard. He had seen this kind of situation on TV, in the news, and in videos, but this was the first time that it happened in front of his eyes. At this time, he had the desire to kill someone.
