Luo Xiyun picked up vegetables and fed Yatou and Tongtong. She also kept paying attention to the tea cups of her husband and Wang Deshun. When there was less water in the cups, she stood up and poured tea.
From time to time, tell them, old and young, not to just drink, but also to eat a few more bites of food.
She herself ate very little.
Unknowingly, both Yatou and Tongtong were full. Xia Zekai put the sweet and sour sweet and sour pork into Tongtong's small bowl. She shook her little head and burrowed into her mother's arms, still keeping her mouth full.
He said: "Don't eat, I'm full."
This is not Tongtong's usual style, and it also shows that she is really full.
Xia Zekai said to Luo Xiyun: "Daughter-in-law, you eat more. If not, you can take them back after you finish eating. Uncle Wang and I will chat for a while."
"Okay!" Luo Xiyun nodded and hurriedly ate some food.
She didn't eat much in the evening, but she felt full after a while, and said, "Zekai, Uncle Wang, you eat first, I will take them back."
"Why do you eat so much? No, waiter, bring two bags." Wang Deshun didn't agree with anything. He called the waiter directly and asked her to help hold up the bags and pull out the untouched ones by him and Xia Zekai.
Sweet potatoes and sweet and sour pork are all packed.
Then he said to Xia Zekai: "Xiao Xia, there is still so much chicken in the basin, we can't eat it. Use clean chopsticks to pick up some more chicken for them and take it back, otherwise we will waste the rest."
When Luo Xiyun saw that it was okay, she quickly took the bag containing sweet and sour pork and shredded sweet potatoes from the waiter's hand, and said: "Uncle Wang, I will take these two dishes back for them to eat, and the rest can't be eaten."
Now take it, you can eat slowly, we are leaving first."
After saying that, he lowered his head and said to Yatou and Tongtong: "You two say goodbye to grandpa."
"Goodbye, Grandpa Wang!"
"Bye bye, Grandpa Wang!"
"Goodbye dad."
For a while, the only sound left was the two of them greeting each other.
After Luo Xiyun took Yatou and Tongtong downstairs and left, Wang Deshun seemed to let go. He even took the initiative to ask Xia Zekai for a drink and exhaled, with some painful memories on his face.
Only this time did Mr. Wang say: "Xiao Xia, I have to thank you for being willing to listen to my chatter."
"Hey, I also like talking to people of your generation. Lao Wang, the past is in the past. Don't think too much about it. We have to look forward." Xia Zekai advised him.
Wang Deshun nodded and said in a low voice: "My eldest sister has a hard life. When we were young, my own mother was killed by a Japanese artillery shell. At that time, the eldest sister took care of us step by step. Later, the eldest sister took care of us.
After she got married and her life got better, she followed her brother-in-law to southern Henan, and we didn't expect that she would never come back again."
"This time, the eldest sister is ill and is dying. They called us and asked us to come over and take a look. They said that the eldest sister had come to us, and they were afraid that we would never see her again..."
"Xiao Xia, you don't know that when I passed by, my eldest sister was so thin, with only a layer of skin hanging on the bones. It's bitter! It's bitter!" Wang Deshun almost gritted his teeth and spoke every word.
Jump out.
As he spoke, he cried, and muddy old tears flowed down his grooved cheeks.
Xia Zekai couldn't feel his pain, so he could only help him get a few pieces of paper: "Old Wang, wipe your face, let's look away. Maybe leaving will be a relief for the old man."
"Yes! You are right. It will be a relief for my eldest sister to leave. This disease is too torturous." Wang Deshun looked at the nearly half of the liquor left in the glass, and he drank it all with a "slurp" sound.
Xia Zekai couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. He said, "Old Wang, this is not how you drink. Can you go home later?"
"No problem, just keep it in your heart." Wang Deshun patted his chest and said, "I just can't go back. Why don't I ask my son to pick me up?"
"Yes, I have to pick you up." Xia Zekai burst out laughing. At this time, Wang Deshun was more like a willful child.
He said: "If you drink like this, I have to accompany you."
As he spoke, Xia Zekai drank the wine in his glass.
He drinks a lot now, so he drinks casually without causing any trouble, and even after two bites of food, his expression doesn't change.
He also said to Wang Deshun: "Old Wang, come and eat some fish. This fish is really tender. Well, the soup is also very fresh."
As he spoke, he stood up and reached out, took Lao Wang's small bowl, filled it with a bowl of pickled fish, and scooped out a spoonful of soup.
It's sour, especially delicious, and can relieve hangovers.
Speaking of his son, Wang Deshun asked: "Xiao Xia, my son's worthless thing didn't cause any trouble for you, right?"
Xia Zekai nodded: "Well, why don't you still believe in your son?"
Wang Deshun sighed with emotion: "What can I say? That boy didn't say anything to me at home. He was just like a boring gourd all day long. There is only one tall guy. At least I got him a wife. This is good. There are
Being a daughter-in-law and still being a doormat is really a coward."
These words directly made Xia Zekai laugh. He said: "Old Wang, I have talked with your son twice, and I found that he is not stupid or dull. On the contrary, he is quite smart and very conscientious. You should be
I'm afraid my father may have made a mistake."
Hearing what Xia Zekai said, Wang Deshun just thought he was trying to comfort him and did not argue. He laughed twice and the two continued to eat and drink.
Two or three hours passed after this. Wang Deshun felt unhappy after all. He really drank too much this time.
Xia Zekai went to pay the bill. When they were about to leave, Wang Deshun couldn't stand still and the soles of his feet were slipping. When Xia Zekai saw this, how could he dare to let him go home by himself? He quickly took out his mobile phone and called Li Mumu.
I made a phone call and asked him to inform Wang Shoulong to pick up his father.
Wang Shoulong had just returned home from get off work at this time, and before he had time to eat, he received a call from Director Li, saying that his father and his boss had drank too much. Wang Shoulong's first thought was that Director Li had drunk too much.
The second thought was, how could his father and his boss have such a good personal relationship?
But he still remembered that a few days ago, his boss came to him alone and asked about his father.
Not daring to delay, Wang Shoulong quickly took a taxi to pick up his father.
When he arrived at the road between Lin'ao Community and Qiyun Garden Community, he arrived at the store with the name 'Huashan Pepper Chicken' on the plaque. He saw that his father was indeed alone with his boss. His boss seemed to be too.
He drank, but nothing happened. His father was already lying on the table, snoring loudly.
Come on, drink too much!
"Boss, I'm so sorry, my dad has caused you trouble." Wang Shoulong felt a little uneasy.
Xia Zekai waved his hand: "It's okay. Something happened to your aunt just now. Your dad is not happy right now. You should talk to him more often."
"Hey, I know, I just went there two days ago. Didn't my dad rush to work just after I came back from the processing." Wang Shoulong explained.
It was impossible for Xia Zekai to pay attention to Wang Shoulong's daily attendance every day, and he didn't know that he had taken three days off. Otherwise, he would have thought of something.
Together with Wang Shoulong, they carried Lao Wang to the entrance of the hotel. Xia Zekai hailed a taxi for them and watched them get in the car and leave. Xia Zekai was also preparing to go home.
Unexpectedly, the White Rabbit proprietress of the hotel stopped him again: "Brothers, are you okay?"
"Hi, it's okay, eldest sister, an old man in Lao Wang's family just passed away, and I feel very unhappy." Xia Zekai sighed.
He felt that it would be much better if Wang Deshun spoke out.
When the boss lady of White Rabbit heard this, she nodded: "You are right, this person will disappear as soon as he reaches his age, so I always think that if we can be happy now, we can let ourselves be happy."
“Sister, you have such a good attitude towards life!”
Xia Zekai chatted with her for a few words and then left.
After returning home, Yatou and Tongtong fell asleep, and Luo Xiyun was still waiting for him.
Seeing that he was back, Luo Xiyun asked him: "Did Uncle Wang go home by himself?"
Xia Zekai took off his coat and hung it on the hanging wall at the door. He said, "No, his son took a taxi to pick him up. He drank too much. Do I dare to let him go back by himself?"
"Well, you should hurry up and take a shower." Luo Xiyun shook his hair and went to the bedroom.
…
In the following days, every day’s schedule is full.
Since the new factory was fenced off, groundbreaking construction has officially begun, and we strive to have most of it completed by the middle of next year.
With Lu Chen watching over there, Xia Zekai wasn't worried, he just kept running around in several places.
Li Mumu was watching over the factory, and he felt reassured.
The day after having a drink with Wang Deshun on the night of October 19, Xia Zekai and Xue Chen met. As soon as they met, Xia Zekai made his meaning clear without being verbose.
So that Xue Chen no longer has to keep an eye on Ruilin Plastics, Xia Zekai asked him to take charge of it himself and develop at least two OEM factories to manufacture children's toilets for them.
He also told him not to tell Ruilin Plastics, so as not to cause unnecessary accidents.
Although Xue Chen didn't understand what happened to lead to this result, he knew one thing in his heart. Xia Zekai was the one who paid him wages.
He carried out the orders given by Xia Zekai very well and rushed to develop a new foundry to complete the task.
On the other side, besides going to work during this period, Luo Xiyun also tried his best to spend more time with Yatou and Tongtong, interact with them more, and enhance the relationship between mother and daughter.
In addition to these, good news also came from the grandfather Xia Shande who was hospitalized in Jicheng. His father Xia Weicheng called Xia Zekai and told him that Xia Shande's radiotherapy treatment was very successful.
When the time quietly entered mid-November from mid-October, Xia Shande finally ended the radiotherapy treatment. Doctor Lian in the hospital said that he could rest for a while before proceeding with the next treatment, which was chemotherapy.
But the process of chemotherapy was very painful, and the hospital was not sure what would happen to Xia Shande next. They asked brothers Xia Weicheng and Xia Weiguo to think about it again.
After Xia Weicheng told his son Xia Zekai about this matter, Xia Zekai fell silent on the spot.
