"You all like to eat. Then daddy will take you to Wal-Mart in the evening. When we have enough fun, we will eat pineapple rice." Xia Zekai said, it will be easy if you know what you want to eat.
Arriving at the entrance of the kindergarten, Xia Zekai handed the little hands of Yatou and Tongtong to Litui as usual. He was about to wave goodbye to the two girls, but Litui stopped him.
"Mr. Xia, we will make time next week to hold a parent-child activity for children and parents. Do you have time to participate?"
This is not asking knowingly.
Xia Zekai didn't even ask about the day and agreed directly. The most abundant thing for him now is his free time.
"There must be time. Teacher Shi can just tell me in advance when the time comes."
"Okay, Xia Jingya, little Xia Tong, tell your dad,
Goodbye!" Litmus lowered his head and said.
"Goodbye, daddy!" the girl waved her hands obediently and said.
"Dad, don't forget to take me to play!" Tongtong was a little confused.
…
After leaving Qiyun Kindergarten, Xia Zekai stopped by his store to have a look. Shaoxing was already busy early in the morning.
There was a layer of plastic paper on the floor in the garage, and his big, clumsy oven was also wrapped tightly in plastic paper.
"Brother Shao is here so early."
Shaoxing was just fixing the wood on the roof of the garage. When he heard Xia Zekai's voice, he lowered his head and continued working: "Xiao Xia is here. I have nothing to do, so I came here early."
"I'll fix the wood first and see if the gussets on the floor work. They usually sell them for more than 50 yuan per square meter. I went and talked nicely with them, and then I agreed to give them 38 yuan per square meter.
.”
Xia Zekai said 'hmm' and knelt down to take a look. The quality was average, even at the price of 38 square meters, it was quite expensive. However, his requirements were not high, so he responded with a smile: "Brother Shao will give it to me."
I'll definitely feel at ease if you take care of me and do the work."
"Brother Xia, please go out quickly. There is too much dust here. When your sister-in-law comes over later, she will start scraping the wall to level it and then put up wallpaper."
Xia Zekai asked: "Why don't we improve the water and electricity first?"
Shaoxing Gang said matter-of-factly: "Let's change it. Don't delay the leveling of the wall. Let's work on it together. I will definitely finish it for you today."
Xia Zekai didn't care about it anymore. Before he left, he said, "Brother Shao, you can take care of it. I have something else to do. I'll go to the market first."
"Well, go and do your work!" Shaoxing Gang continued working without stopping.
Xia Zekai walked away from the garage, planning to go out from the east gate of Lin Ao Community, take a bus to the city, find a packaging box maker, and order a batch.
Before he reached the stop sign, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw 'Second Brother' written on it.
Seeing these two words, Xia Zekai felt a little dazed. He felt ashamed that he had not contacted his brothers since he came back.
The next moment, he answered the phone and shouted, "Brother, why did you call me?"
"Zekai, I haven't contacted you in almost two months. How are you doing recently? Is the account opening and development going well?" The second brother Xia Yunhui asked him.
This is the second cousin of the uncle's family. There is also an eldest cousin above him who runs freight, named Xia Yunfei.
"Do you have enough money? If not, let me know." Second cousin Xia Yunhui asked him.
An ordinary sentence made Xia Zekai burst into tears: "Brother, don't worry, my commission plus basic salary last month was about 8,000."
Xia Yunhui said: "That's quite stressful. You still have to pay off the mortgage and the two children. That is to say, Tongtong and Yatou, they don't drink milk powder now."
Speaking of this, Xia Yunhui remembered something: "Zekai, come over whenever you have time. Your sister-in-law has sorted out all the clothes that Amy used to wear when she was a child. Now that Amy is fat, she can't wear them either."
Now, take it back, cook it, and give it to Yatou and Tongtong to wear."
"Hey, I'll go get it some other time." Xia Zekai agreed.
Xia Yunhui added: "There's one more thing. We haven't gotten together since the Chinese New Year. I'm thinking of finding some time to get together again. I know you often travel on business. No one else has asked yet, so I'll ask you first.
Are you going out soon?"
"Brother, I'm not going out. I'll be there whenever you call." Xia Zekai said this.
After all, he has not told his family that he has resigned.
He quit his job to look after the children at home, and his wife went to work. Will this worry the family?
In addition, the store is still in the preparation stage, and the specific situation after opening is still unknown, so he did not mention it.
Xia Yunhui didn't know about this at all. When he heard his cousin said that he wouldn't go on a business trip in the near future, he knew it: "Then I'll contact your elder brother and the others. I won't delay. It'll be just for the next few days."
"By the way, there's one more thing. Tomb Sweeping Day is next month. Your company should have a holiday. Then we can go home together to visit grandma's grave, and then visit grandpa." Xia Yunhui was about to hang up the phone and said again.
One thing.
Xia Zekai agreed without thinking: "Okay!"
After the brothers hung up the phone, Xia Zekai looked at the phone with a black screen in his hand, filled with emotion.
But now was not the time to think about this. He walked to the stop sign and waited for five minutes, but no bus came. It was really weird.
There was nothing left to do. Xia Zekai now believed in the saying "time is money". He saw a taxi with blue and white paint running over from a distance and quickly raised his hand to say hello.
"Master, please help me find a place that specializes in making packaging boxes." Xia Zekai still used the same old method of finding people.
This trick worked really well. The taxi driver looked about the same age as him, but he knew the city far better than he did.
After twists and turns, the taxi driver stopped the car. He pointed to the entrance of an alley in front and said, "Brother, you go along the alley in front. There is a packaging box manufacturer at the end.
There are all kinds of things, go and see for yourself."
Xia Zekai believed him, paid the money, and walked into the alley.
When we got to the end, there was an open door with no signs at the door.
But when he looked through the open door, he saw that the yard was full of fertilizer bags. Xia Zekai took a look and saw that there were stacks of plastic bags inside the fertilizer bags.
There are various types, transparent, and some with printed fonts and patterns. Xia Zekai randomly scanned a few open bag mouths, and he also found a white plastic bag with the words "RT-Mart" printed on it in one of the woven bags.
This is the largest affordable supermarket in the city, and I didn’t expect to buy shopping bags from him.
"Good guy, this business is quite extensive." Xia Zekai admired in his heart.
By now, he was sure of one thing, the taxi driver just now really didn't lie to him.
