After Yatou and Tongtong saw the snowman, they were so happy that they squatted on the balcony and looked at the snowman in the basin, letting out a string of giggles from time to time.
But there was a heater in the house, and even if the temperature on the balcony was a little lower, it was still much warmer than outside. After ten minutes, the snowman began to melt slowly, and then melted faster and faster. As the two sisters watched,
, the snowman finally turned into a basin of water.
The little sisters were not frightened. They still found it fun. The girl asked: "Mom, why did the snowman run away?"
"..." Luo Xiyun was dumbfounded.
The snowman ran away?
My dearest daughter, you can think of it, but no one else has such an idea.
Xia Zekai came over and explained to them, saying that snow melted into water when exposed to high temperatures.
The girl then asked: "Dad, how did the snow change?"
Xia Zekai flicked his finger on her little head: "You have a lot of questions, but fortunately my father knows the answer. This snow is ice crystals formed by water vapor that solidifies when it encounters low temperatures in very high places in the sky.
…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl asked again: "Dad, what are those ice crystals?"
Luo Xiyun looked confused, and Xia Zekai couldn't come to his senses. He thought to himself: "Girl, you are not 4 years old yet. Can you behave like a 4-year-old girl? We don't expect you to be admitted to Beiqing in the future.
ah."
In comparison, Tongtong was much more normal. With a blank look on her little face, she asked Luo Xiyun: "Mom, what did sister say?"
Luo Xiyun burst out laughing after hearing this.
…
The first snow in winter lasted all day and night. When we woke up the next morning, heavy snow covered the entire city.
Thick snow was piled everywhere on the building, on the ground, in the grass, on the branches, and on the roof of the car, and it was dazzlingly white.
Luo Xiyun stood in front of the window and sighed. She said, "I was still thinking of taking them out for a walk, but who knew they'd be stuck at home these past two days."
"Isn't it great to build a snowman and have a snowball fight yesterday?" Xia Zekai said with a smile.
Luo Xiyun smiled and said, "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm going to make noodles and make some dumplings for lunch."
Xia Zekai said 'hmm' and said, "I'll play with them first. You can make peace later and call me."
He has never learned how to make noodles, but he is still very good at making dumplings.
Looking at the heavy snow outside, which was up to his knees, and thinking that work at the construction site seemed to be suspended for a while, he called Lu Chen and asked him about the situation there.
Lu Chan told him about the situation at the construction site on the phone. Just as Xia Zekai expected, construction was impossible due to such heavy snow.
The work may have to be suspended for a few days depending on the situation. Unexpected conditions such as rain and snow are also expected during the construction process, so I am not too worried. When Xia Zekai heard Lu Huan say that everything went smoothly and no accidents occurred, he felt relieved.
.
The Jingtong Food Factory has also stopped the night shift since last night. It is too dangerous to work the night shift at this time. The output is insufficient, so I will explain the situation to the customer. It doesn't matter if I sell less at first.
Just make sure nothing happens to the workers in the factory first.
After Luo Xiyun finished making noodles, she called Xia Zekai to help her make dumplings. Yatou and Tongtong were playing in the living room when they suddenly heard their mother say that they wanted to make dumplings. They both got excited and pushed away from the kitchen.
Open the door and open your little hands to help mom and dad make dumplings.
"Here, I'll give you two a piece of dough each. Let's go play outside." Luo Xiyun took out two pieces of dough from the dough he had made up and handed it to the two sisters. The two villains immediately held it with both hands and held up the dough.
Went out to play happily.
In the kitchen, one is pressing dumpling wrappers and the other is making dumplings. The two of them work together very skillfully and tacitly.
As the steaming water vapor dispersed, Xia Zekai took the dumplings tumbling in the water and put them on the draining tray. The dumplings were spread out one by one like little ingots, which looked particularly beautiful.
Tongtong was so hungry that she reached out to grab something to eat. Xia Zekai, with quick eyesight and quick hands, reached out and slapped the back of her hand.
Then he said: "Tongtong, this dumpling has just been taken out, but it's hot to the touch. You don't want your hand anymore."
This immediately frightened Tongtong. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at the dumplings on the tray pitifully. She wanted to eat but didn't dare to eat.
When Luo Xiyun came out and saw this scene, she was furious and said, "Zekai, why are you scaring her? Why are you so owed?"
This bitch is really hopeless, Xia Zekai doesn't want to talk to her.
I went to the kitchen to find a small bowl, poured half a bowl of balsamic vinegar, added a few drops of sesame oil, and happily went to the living room.
Putting down the bowl, Xia Zekai said, "Daughter-in-law, you three eat first, and I'll cook the rest."
When he finished his work and came out of the kitchen, the two girls' bellies were all round.
The girl showed him her belly and said, "Dad, look, I've eaten a lot. My belly is so big."
"That's right, the girl is really powerful. If you eat more, she will grow up quickly." Xia Zekai praised him with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Tongtong next to her took over and said, "Humph, I eat more than my sister, so I must grow faster than my sister."
Xia Zekai nodded: "Yes, whoever eats more will grow faster. How about you two competing?"
The girl snorted: "I'm not going to compare myself to anything else. Mom said, I'll look better if I lose weight."
After she finished speaking, she put her hands to her mouth and made a face, and made a strange sound like "lie". Xia Zekai didn't understand what her daughter meant.
…
On Monday morning, the heavy snow on the road was compacted by the vehicles going back and forth. Coupled with the cold weather and low temperature, the compacted snow turned into ice.
In such terrible weather, Xia Zekai was very worried about whether his wife, a 'novice driver', could master the skills of driving on ice. When Luo Xiyun was about to go out, Xia Zekai kept telling her: "Daughter-in-law, you are driving on the road.
Slow down, don't rush, and don't speed up. It will be covered with ice and the brakes won't be able to stop you."
"Okay, it sounds like I don't understand anything. Don't worry, it's okay." Luo Xiyun confidently put on her shoes and went out.
When she said this, Xia Zekai's worry decreased a little.
But before Xia Zekai finished braiding Yatou and Tongtong's hair, his cell phone rang while he was still on the bed. He looked over and saw the name 'Luo Xiyun' flashing on the screen. Xia Zekai looked at the time again, and his heart skipped a beat.
After a while, he had a bad premonition.
I quickly picked up my phone and connected it. Luo Xiyun's voice came from the other side of the phone: "Zekai, my car was hit from behind..."
"Where are you? Are you okay? Did you call the police? Are you injured? Did you call an ambulance?" Xia Zekai panicked.
Luo Xiyun then said that she was fine, but her car was rear-ended by a car that didn't brake in time, and the rear bumper was dented, and the paint was also worn.
Xia Zekai was speechless. His car had not had time to deal with the area where it was rear-ended. Unexpectedly, his wife was also rear-ended while driving. The two of them were not so lucky.
Fortunately, everyone is fine, which is a blessing.
"You wait there, I'll be there right away." After Xia Zekai hurriedly combed the braids of his two girls' hair, he said to them: "Girl, Tongtong, daddy will send you to the kindergarten first. Dad has something urgent to deal with."
"Okay!" The two little sisters nodded and responded in a very sensible manner.
When driving out, Xia Zekai was very anxious, but he didn't dare to drive too fast. In such road conditions, if you don't pay attention, you will slip. If you don't hit others, you may not be able to control the car and hit you.
After handing them over to Teacher Li Li, Xia Zekai hurriedly left for the first time.
Teacher Shi Rui was quite puzzled as to why Mr. Xia was so anxious today. Before she could ask, Xia Zekai's people had already gotten into the car and ran away out of sight.
At the intersection of Central Avenue going north and Yumin Road, this is a traffic light intersection. At this time, there are two cars parked on the roadside in the northeast direction of the intersection. The one in front is a Focus sedan, and the one behind is
The front of the white Buick Excelle hit the Fox's car from the right side and the rear right side. Both cars were parked in place with double flashes.
Luo Xiyun wore her woolen coat and held her bag in her hand and stood on the sidewalk next to her, stamping her feet from time to time. It was too cold.
The owner of the Buick Excelle was a young man wearing dark blue overalls with the words "Huayu Chemical" written on them. He seemed to be working in a company.
He has already called the police and the insurance company, and is now waiting for the traffic police and the insurance company to come over.
"Sister, I'm so sorry. I really couldn't brake just now. I couldn't press the brakes at all and the car kept sliding forward." The owner of the Excelle said apologetically.
Luo Xiyun said 'hmm', and she didn't blame the young man. With this kind of weather and road conditions, accidents were completely normal. It was useless to say anything else.
On her way here just now, she had seen too many car crashes, and even more seriously, there were five or six cars that collided in series.
The traffic police came first, inquired about the situation, and then observed the accident scene. They determined that the party responsible for the accident, the owner of the Excelle, was solely responsible. The young man readily admitted it.
Then people from the insurance company came over. After looking at the scene, they took a few photos and communicated with both parties. Together with the traffic police's ruling, the matter was settled. Then they were asked to go to the designated place to repair the car.
Xia Zekai arrived not long after the people from the insurance company came over. He parked the car somewhere out of the way on the side of the road. When he came over, Luo Xiyun found the backbone. During the rear-end collision just now, the car was hit forward and shook.
When she saw it, she was actually quite scared, but she kept it in and didn't show it.
When he saw Xia Zekai, a look of grievance appeared on his face.
Xia Zekai took a look and said, my dear, this accident is much more serious than his wife's "understatement" description just now. The entire plastic shell at the rear was shattered, the door on the right side of the rear was also dented, and the paint was seriously damaged.
"Daughter-in-law, are you really okay?" Xia Zekai was extremely nervous and asked her again.
Luo Xiyun patted himself and said: "It's okay, it's just that the car can't be driven. My little brother called me and will send it to the 4S shop for repair in a while."
"Okay, are you done here? If you're done, take your things and I'll take you to work," Xia Zekai said.
The traffic police and the Excelle car owner both saw Xia Zekai, who was the last to arrive. They thought that Xia Zekai would be troublesome when he came over, and they had prepared how to deal with it, but no, Xia Zekai was quite reasonable.
…
It took more than an hour to complete the processing at the scene. Xia Zekai drove Luo Xiyun to Qicheng Aideli Co., Ltd.
Luo Xiyun got off the car in front of the company, and Xia Zekai said: "Daughter-in-law, I will pick them up in the afternoon and then come to pick you up."
"No, I'll take the shuttle bus back." Luo Xiyun said.
Xia Zekai didn't listen. He said, "I'll pick it up."
After saying that, he turned around and walked back.
