"Dad, you haven't been to Zhoucheng yet. How about you come and stay with me for two days? I live alone there and I have time to take care of you." Xia Weiguo couldn't help but say a few more words.
Xia Shande shook his head: "If you don't want to go, just go home."
Come on, Xia Weiguo is out of options.
Xia Weicheng said: "Then let me call Zekai and ask him to come and take us back."
"Why are you calling him? He is very busy and has a lot of work. It's not like I can't leave. If you find a car, we can go back." said the old man Xia Shande.
Xia Weicheng was scolded and did not dare to say a word. He quickly called Lu Hua, who specialized in car rentals in Xiazhuang, and asked him to come directly.
Lu Hua's was a van, the kind that had been driven for many years. Even though the shock absorption was not good, there were air leaks in many places. When leaving, Xia Weicheng wrapped his father in a quilt and walked away, for fear of catching a cold on the way.
At the same time, he also told himself in his heart that no matter how badly his father scolded him next time, he would have to call his son.
Lu Hua's broken car was too bumpy.
…
December 6th, Sunday, temperature matters.
The sun hangs in the sky and radiates its residual heat, making people feel warm in this winter where it has just snowed.
Xia Zekai came down from upstairs carrying a suitcase, and his wife was carrying a small bag behind her. She held Yatou in one hand and Tongtong in the other, and said to them: "Mom is going out for a few days. You two should listen at home."
Do you know what dad said?"
"Oh, mom, when will you come back?" The girl turned around and asked.
Tongtong also looked at her mother, the expression on her face was a little frozen, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
Luo Xiyun didn't dare to look at them both, for fear that she would cry the next moment.
She looked at the stairs, tried to calm down her emotions, and said, "On the fourth day, mom will be back."
"Mom will bring you a lot of delicious and fun things when the time comes, okay?" Luo Xiyun tried her best to smile and asked them.
The last time she went to the Magic City for a meeting, she left directly while the two of them were asleep.
This time it was different. The flight was at around eleven o'clock in the morning, and the three of them had to take themselves to the airport.
After getting in the car, Xia Zekai drove directly onto the highway and then went straight to Jicheng Airport.
This was not Luo Xiyun's first time flying, and she was very familiar with the process.
Watching her go in, until she could no longer be seen, the girl burst into tears with a loud cry. She was caught off guard by her crying, and Xia Zekai hurriedly knelt down to comfort her.
Tongtong next to her might also have been brewing emotions. When her sister cried, she opened her mouth and cried loudly, which was even more vigorous than her sister.
People passing by looked at them subconsciously.
Xia Zekai coaxed them for a while and said that he would take them to buy toys now, so these two little girls stopped crying.
When he was about to return to Qicheng, Xia Zekai thought about going to see his grandfather, so he called his father.
Unexpectedly, his father said that he had returned to his hometown and would be hospitalized in two weeks.
After listening to his father explain the treatment cycle, Xia Zekai said: "Dad, why don't you call me when you go back? What if my grandpa freezes?"
"Yes, yes, you're right, I'll call you next time." Xia Weicheng was still a little guilty. His father coughed for a while after he came back, which scared him so much that he didn't want to go to work for two days.
"Dad, is the money still enough? If it's not enough, I'll give you some more." Xia Zekai asked him.
When Xia Weicheng heard his son mention that he wanted to give him money, he felt strange in his heart.
"That's enough. There are still quite a few miles left. According to Dr. Lian, it's enough for your grandfather to finish 6 cycles of chemotherapy." Xia Weicheng told his son with certainty.
Xia Zekai finally asked the girl, Tongtong and the two sisters to talk to their grandfather for a few words before hanging up the phone and heading back to Qicheng.
Not long after Xia Zekai and his father-in-law returned to Qicheng, Xia Zekai and his two daughters had just found a place to eat. Before they were done, his wife called and said that they had arrived at Baiyun Airport and were waiting for the Foshan factory.
Send a car to pick her up.
Then go and check in for accommodation and so on.
"So fast?" Xia Zekai was surprised.
Luo Xiyun said: "The flight only takes more than two hours in total, can it be faster?"
"Mom, I'm eating. It's delicious. The sweet meat, have you eaten it?" There was a layer of light red soup on the girl's mouth, which was left from eating the sweet and sour pork loin.
Tongtong wasn't much better. She still had a piece of pig's trotter in her hand and was chewing it. She didn't even have time to talk to her mother.
As for the 'farewell cry' at Jicheng Airport just now, she had already been thrown to Java.
Xia Zekai even asked her to say a few words to her mother, so Tongtong shook the pig's trotters in her hand: "Dad, I haven't finished eating yet."
"You're looking for a beating!" Xia Zekai raised his hand and patted her lightly. It was neither painful nor itchy, but Tongtong didn't take it seriously at all.
Xia Zekai finally said to his wife: "Take care of yourself over there. Don't be reluctant to eat and drink. Don't worry at home. I will take care of you and there will be no problems."
"Hey, I'll hang up then. The person from the factory is here to pick me up." When Luo Xiyun heard Xia Zekai nagging like a child, she felt like crying and quickly hung up the phone.
"This girl doesn't know how to take care of herself when she's out." Xia Zekai muttered, looking at the phone with a black screen. He didn't have time to sigh, so he quickly threw the phone aside and took care of the two girls to eat.
After eating, Xia Zekai asked them what they wanted to play, but the sisters were a little full from eating just now and didn't want to play, so this was a relief.
"Then let's go home." Xia Zekai asked them both.
Seeing the two of them nodding in agreement, Xia Zekai directly picked up one of them and walked to the parking place.
That night, Yatou and Tongtong were very obedient, unlike the last time when his wife was on a business trip, he had to call his wife at first and let his wife coax the two girls to sleep on the phone.
Now there is no need for it at all. Xia Zekai told them the story of Little Red Riding Hood and the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Before they finished, they both fell asleep.
Looking at the sleeping sisters, Xia Zekai looked at the empty bed next to him. He was still a little uncomfortable with it.
He took out his mobile phone, logged into his QQ account, and sent a message to his wife: "Daughter-in-law, are you asleep?"
At first, there was no reply. Xia Zekai thought that his wife was asleep at this time, so he planned to throw the phone away, but he didn't know that the phone started vibrating with a 'buzzing' sound at this time.
The message his wife sent back: "I didn't sleep. I just took a shower. Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I just missed you, so I sent you a message!" Xia Zekai is over 60 years old in the past two lifetimes combined, but he says these witticisms without any shyness at all.
Luo Xiyun couldn't stand him and sent a message back: "Get out of here."
"How are Yatou and Tongtong? Did they have trouble at night? If anything happens, just call me. By the way, it has been hot and cold these past two days. The weather changes quickly. Please look at them more."
Put some clothes on them so they don’t catch a cold..."
Luo Xiyun suddenly had a lot to say, as if he couldn't finish the explanation.
Xia Zekai: "I know everything, don't worry"
Late at night, Xia Zekai held his cell phone and forgot to talk to his wife until what time it was before he fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Xia Zekai's biological clock woke him up, and he got up to help his daughter urinate.
…
At the entrance of Qiyun Kindergarten, Xia Zekai watched Yatou and Tongtong and their sisters jumping into the teaching building holding hands. He told Teacher Shi Rui: "Teacher Shi, it's been a bit cold these past two days to melt the snow. I'll give it to them."
They both have more clothes on, so you can help them keep an eye on them, and if it's hot, you can help them take off some clothes..."
"Okay, dad Jingya, don't worry." Shi Rui said with a smile.
Every parent will give a few more words of advice at this time, and they all understand.
Xia Zekai said 'hmm', said hello to Wang Deshun again, and then left.
Fu Yang was waiting next to his car. When he saw him coming, Fu Yang said: "Boss Xia, there is a higher bidder this time. I think it's about the same. Why don't you go and sit in the store?"
Xia Zekai then thought about the buyer Fu Yang mentioned last time. The so-called "high price" in the end was an extra five thousand yuan, fifty-five thousand yuan, so why bother? Xia Zekai refused directly.
"How much does this cost?"
Fu Yang said: "Now I am willing to pay 65,000."
This is the price offered by the other party, which means it can be raised a little higher. Xia Zekai won't leave.
"Okay, I'll meet him." Xia Zekai followed Fu Yang towards the 'Detian Agency' store.
After Xia Zekai had an exchange with the buyer, he didn't raise the price and sold it directly to the other party for 65,000, who then gave him 65,000 in cash on the spot.
Xia Zekai saw a small stack of hundred-dollar bills in his pocket. Judging from the thickness, it looked like it was about four to five thousand dollars.
In other words, the other party’s high price is 70,000 yuan.
Xia Zekai didn't feel disappointed. He felt that this man was much more honest and happy. The two of them even left each other's contact numbers. His name was Gao Xiang.
Looking back, Xia Zekai paid the store an agency fee of 650 yuan. After thinking about it, he handed Fu Yang another 500 yuan.
"Manager Fu, I have been keeping you busy. I originally wanted to treat you to a meal, but I have to go to the factory. You and Manager Gao can watch and eat." This is what Xia Zekai said.
Not mentioning this, Fu Yang and Gao Lina actually helped him a lot when he was just starting out, and he had never invited each other to dinner in a serious manner.
After he left, Fu Yang was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the five red banknotes in his hand, and Gao Lina was also red-eyed when she looked at the money in his hand.
"Tip?" Gao Lina asked strangely.
This amount of money can cover half of her basic salary.
After Fu Yang came to his senses, he quickly held the money in his hand and said, "Lao Gao, what's wrong with your look? Boss Xia gave this to me."
"But he also said that he was treating us to dinner." Gao Lina said hard, tried hard, rolled her eyes twice, and said: "Old Fu, otherwise we won't eat anymore, and just split the money."
, just give me two hundred, just two hundred."
"Here!" Fu Yangwang spat on his fingers, twisted out two hundred-dollar bills, and handed them to Gao Lina.
