Chapter 307 Relatives who talk about things (Chapter 2)
When cousins Xia Yunhui and Xia Zekai returned to the house, he went directly to call his eldest brother Xia Yunfei. Before leaving, he said to their father Xia Weiguo: "Dad, let's go to Yun Liang's house and sit down and be back in a while."
"
"Can't we go tomorrow?" Xia Weicheng frowned slightly and said, "Your aunt, second aunt and third aunt will be here soon."
"Dad, let's go back quickly. We have other things to do tomorrow." Xia Yunhui said.
Xia Weicheng also helped to speak: "Brother, let them go. Yun Hui and Yun Liang have been friends for many years. After finally coming back, why can't they sit down and chat together."
What he said made sense. Xia Weicheng was just annoyed by his two sons secretly carrying him to their grandmother's house. Although he said he was old, he was not an old fool. There were some things he knew better than anyone else.
.
"Go early and come back early!" Xia Weiguo was so irritated that he didn't say anything else.
"Hey, dad, let's come back soon." Xia Yunhui nodded, then asked his wife Dong Fei if she was going, and then asked his sister-in-law Li Aijuan. All the two families wanted to go with them. It was very lively now.
Xia Yunfei waved to his uncle Xia Zekai: "Brother, give me your car keys, and I'll try out your new car too."
"Here!" Xia Zekai took out the car key from his trouser pocket and threw it over.
After they left with their families, the house suddenly became a lot cleaner, but Xia Shande now likes the excitement, so he waved to the girl and Tongtong: "Girl, Tongtong, you two come here."
The two little guys ran over quite smartly.
Xia Weicheng was there to persuade his elder brother Xia Weiguo: "Brother, you are over sixty years old, what else can't be thought of? Besides, Yun Fei and Yun Hui are not worried, so why did you act like that just now?"
Xia Weiguo was silent for a while and said: "Brother, brother, I have been a father and a mother in the past few decades to raise them both. Is it easy for me? When they were young, where was the blind mother? She can do it
You are so cruel that you run away, why don't you want me to say a few words?"
"She doesn't care!" Xia Weiguo gritted his teeth, hating him to the bone.
When Xia Zekai listened to his uncle talking about these past events, he seemed to be able to understand the feeling in his heart.
But Xia Weiguo spoke a little louder, which startled the girl. Xia Shande suddenly became unhappy. He scolded his eldest son: "Weiguo, what are you doing? We finally got together to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you didn't do it until noon."
After drinking a few kilograms of horse urine, you will no longer know east, west, north, south. If you are drunk and crazy, you can go play by the Yellow River..."
Xia Weicheng was yelled at by his own father and said nothing.
Xia Zejiang didn't even dare to speak.
Xia Weiguo felt irritable and said, "Zekai, come with me for a walk outside."
"Okay, uncle, wait a moment and I'll get two bottles of water." Xia Zekai agreed.
After they went out, Xia Weicheng said to his old father: "Dad, my eldest brother is also feeling aggrieved and complaining."
But before he finished speaking, he was intercepted by Xia Shande. The old man puffed his beard and said with a glare: "Why are you aggrieved? There is nothing to be aggrieved about. You have a family, a career, and children. You have to bear everything by yourself. How much does it cost?"
I'm old, and I'm always chattering after drinking, which makes me tired."
"Grandpa, please don't bother me. My aunt and the others will be here soon. They shouldn't feel bad if they see you still angry." Xia Zejiang advised him.
The old man said "Hey" and lowered his head to talk to his two great-granddaughters.
Brothers Xia Yunhui and Xia Yunfei took their two families to Xia Yunliang's house at the south end of Xiajiazhuang and sat with their old classmates for a while.
Originally, they wanted to take a turn and go to their grandma's house, but the two brothers were persuaded by Dong Fei and Li Aijuan.
Xiajiazhuang is so big, how can there be any secret that can be hidden, and there is no need to make a fuss with your biological father for a big holiday.
In fact, Dong Fei and Li Aijuan somewhat understand their father-in-law's difficulties, but the two sisters-in-law can't control this matter. They can only wait until one day either their father-in-law or their husbands wake up and completely let go, then this matter will be settled.
result.
Xia Zekai accompanied his uncle out of his house and walked east. He walked straight for a kilometer to the Yellow River dam. After the great flood ten years ago, the side of the dam on the Yellow River was completely paved with stones.
Yes, rows of trees have been planted on both sides of the barrage.
Looking east from the top of the dam, you can see a long river sparkling in the sun, and you can see that the water is turbid from about three miles away.
Xia Weiguo stared at the Yellow River for a long time. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one, and smoked. He also asked his nephew Xia Zekai: "Zekai, do you smoke?"
"I won't smoke anymore. My throat is not very good. Smoking makes me cough easily." Xia Zekai told his uncle.
Xia Weiguo flicked the butt of the cigarette with his finger, squinted his eyes and nodded: "Well, it's better not to smoke. Unlike me, smoking has become a habit for decades. The lungs are no longer clean, but if I don't smoke, I feel less.
.”
Xia Zekai always felt that there was something in his uncle's words, but he didn't want to understand.
The two of us walked along the Yellow River Dam to the riverside for a while. The closer they got, the more they felt a chill with moisture coming over them. They were wearing less clothes and felt a little cold on their bodies.
A few minutes after Xia Weicheng finished smoking one cigarette, he lit another one. The index and middle fingers of his right hand were smoked brown by the smoke.
There are benefits.”
"Hey, I can still smoke for a few more years." Xia Weiguo sighed with emotion, making Xia Zekai unable to answer.
The sound of running water sounded in my ears. Listening carefully to the sound of running water, my heart seemed to calm down.
Xia Weiguo squinted his eyes and looked into the distance along the water. He said: "Zekai, actually I know that your two brothers went to his grandma's house with me on his back several times. I just kept it in my heart and didn't say anything. You said they are ordinary people."
Be sensible, wait until one day I'm no longer around, I'll look for you wherever you like, I don't care!"
"Uncle, you are overthinking. My brother didn't go there, they just went to play with my brother Yun Liang." Xia Zekai said.
"Hey, Zekai, you are a good boy!" Xia Weiguo then sent his nephew a good person card.
Before he finished speaking, Xia Zekai's cell phone rang.
He took it out and saw that it was his wife calling. Xia Zekai quickly answered the call. Luo Xiyun told him on the phone that the second and third aunts were here and asked when he and the uncle would be back.
After hanging up the phone, he called Xia Weiguo and said, "Uncle, my second and third aunts are here. Let's go back."
"Well, let's go back." The two men walked back again.
When they came back, Xia Zekai saw his car parked at the door again. At home, the eldest brother and the second brother were talking to two aunts. Several children gathered around Xia Shande again, and laughter could be heard.
, Xia Zekai breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
The second aunt and the third aunt came. Xia Zekai greeted them and found out that the third aunt was still working in the magic city and had not come back this Mid-Autumn Festival.
The second uncle went to the capital to work, and he would not come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion.
Everyone is fighting for their family.
"Dad, how are you doing now and how are you feeling?" Second Aunt asked with concern.
Xia Shande nodded with a smile: "It's much better. I can eat now. I can eat one steamed bun and several pieces of meat in one meal."
Hearing what he said, the second aunt Xia Guilian smiled and said: "You can still eat meat, that's good. Two days ago, I was thinking about going to Jicheng to see you with sister Guixiang. The store at home is really too good.
I’m so busy that I really can’t leave…”
Xia Zekai has become accustomed to his second aunt's "talking things through" style. She talks in one way, which makes everyone feel comfortable, but she doesn't do practical things.
Xia Weiguo was feeling uncomfortable when he suddenly heard his second sister say this. He choked: "Our father has been hospitalized for more than a month, and you don't have any time to rest."
"Brother, I can't help it. Your nephew is still waiting to build a house, buy a car, and get married. He needs money everywhere..." Second aunt Xia Guilian quickly explained.
Xia Zekai didn't think it was necessary and didn't ask his second aunt to raise the money for the treatment. He interrupted and said: "Second aunt, third aunt, let's have a glass of water and rest for a while. I've made an order at the Rising Hotel in town.
, it should be delivered soon."
"Well, Ruixing's food isn't bad, it's just more expensive, but it's better than other restaurants." Xia Guilian said with a smile.
"..."
My eldest aunt Xia Guizhi came a little later. She mainly had to take care of the sick at home, so she didn't have that much freedom in time.
After seeing her old father, her eyes turned a little red, and then without saying a word, she took out the money she had prepared in advance and forced it on her old father Xia Shande.
Xia Zekai took a look and saw that the small stack was not much, but it was full of red hundred-dollar bills. It was estimated to be about a thousand dollars. Apart from anything else, the aunt was still a real person.
Xia Shande said he didn't want any money from his eldest daughter, but he kept pushing it out. However, the second aunt Xia Guilian next to him was a little embarrassed. She felt that the eldest sister was not doing something right. Why didn't she tell her about such a big thing in advance and discuss it?
, that’s what she did when she came up, so where should she put it?
What she didn't expect was that the third sister also gave her old father a handful...
…
Ruixing Hotel delivered 20 dishes to two tables each at around six o'clock. This time, they gave a discount. The original standard of 380 yuan was reduced by 20 yuan, so the two tables added up to 720 yuan.
, this is what the driver who delivers the food said.
Xia Zekai called the boss to confirm, and also told the driver to take the money back, and then took the lunch tray back.
A little story happened in the middle. When Xia Zekai went to the kitchen to serve hot steamed buns, his mother Zhou Yinghong also came over and complained about how he had more food at night than at noon and how much extra money he spent.
"Mom, it's just a matter of spending dozens of dollars more. Besides, we are all a family, there are no outsiders, what's wrong with eating better?" Xia Zekai said with a smile.
Zhou Yinghong curled her lips: "Zekai, you say it lightly, but I'm afraid some people really don't regard us as a family."
