Chapter 383 This New Year's Red Packet Holds the Hand (3 Chapters Still Owes)
"Click!"
Li Mumu finally locked the factory door with a large copper lock.
Xia Zekai was standing nearby. He said a few words to a few people, then turned around and got in the car and left.
Li Mumu said: "Everyone, I also wish you all a happy holiday in advance. We will get together again after the new year."
"Okay, Director Li, happy holidays, and we'll have a rest after the New Year!"
Several people in front of the Jingtong Food Factory separated. Some were riding bikes, some were driving, and they disappeared after a while.
Xia Zekai drove Yatou and Tongtong back home. He said, "Your mother will have a holiday after work tomorrow. Let's go back to our hometown the day after tomorrow and play with your grandparents, okay?"
"Okay, okay, dad, I miss grandma so much!" the girl said.
Tongtong followed suit without any restraint: "Dad, I miss my grandparents too, and I also miss my grandpa."
She had to say it over and over again to express her feelings of missing him, which successfully made Xia Zekai laugh.
When Luo Xiyun came back in the evening, he also brought his brother-in-law Luo Xincheng back. He carried a silver-white suitcase upstairs and called brother-in-law when he came in.
After seeing Yatou and Tongtong, he asked with a smile: "Do you two miss your uncle?"
"Huh!" The girl snorted and turned her head away. She said, "I don't want you to buy me anything fun."
"You won't buy me delicious food either." Tongtong followed.
The two of them criticized Luo Xincheng, the uncle, on the spot.
Who knew that Luo Xincheng came prepared this time. After he opened the suitcase, he took out two sets of remote-controlled cars with different colors. He said with his own sound effects: "Dang-dang-dang-dang, girl, Tongtong, look at this."
What is it, do you like it?"
The two little sisters betrayed their perseverance without any moral integrity in a matter of minutes. It turns out that material things are the easiest thing to corrupt people.
"Xincheng, are you on vacation?"
"Brother-in-law, our department is on holiday early. After the new year, we have to go to work one day early to replace the molds in the production workshop." Luo Xincheng said.
Xia Zekai nodded, this is how feelings work.
He went to work at the wrong time, which gave Xia Zekai a clue.
He thought that when Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. becomes bigger in the next step, it can also use it.
"As for your sister's trouble, they have to work for another day, or they will go home directly tomorrow." Xia Zekai couldn't wait to go back.
Luo Xincheng didn't dare to respond at this time. He just stood there and giggled.
"Xincheng, why are you going home?" Xia Zekai asked casually.
Luo Xincheng said: "I was too late to grab a ticket and didn't get it. I'll wait at the gate of the long-distance station tomorrow to see if I can find a ride on a passing bus."
Luo Xiyun, who was cooking in the kitchen, said to him: "Xincheng, I don't even care about you. The Spring Festival transportation will definitely be crowded. You don't grab tickets in advance at this time. What have you been thinking about all day long!"
Xia Zekai thought in his mind: "Water!"
Suddenly, a small closed space was filled with water, and when it shook, it made a "clang, dang, dang, dang," sound, and the scene was quite strong.
Being snatched away by his sister, Luo Xincheng was also very depressed. He said: "I thought long-distance buses just need to line up on time and get on the bus. Who knew that all the tickets have been sold out in the past few days."
That's true.
Some people grab air tickets and some grab train tickets, but in Xia Zekai's impression, very few people grab bus tickets.
But having said that, there are still very few people who own cars these days. Unlike in a few years when the popularity of cars has improved qualitatively, most people still have to use these means of transportation to get home.
Xia Zekai thought for a while and said: "Forget it, Xincheng, don't rush into the car tomorrow. I'll take you back. There are still a few days to celebrate the New Year, so I just want to send you some New Year's goods."
"Brother-in-law, no need, really no need, it's so troublesome to go back and forth."
Luo Xiyun also said: "Xincheng is such a big man and it's not like he can't ride in the car. Just let him go back by himself."
There is no doubt that this is my sister!
Xia Zekai waved his hand: "It's okay. My company is also on holiday. I have nothing to do at home. Let's go for a trip tomorrow. That's it."
After saying that, he said to Yatou and Tongtong: "Let's go to your grandma's house tomorrow, okay."
"Okay, I miss grandma too!" the girl said.
This child Tongtong is indeed very thoughtful, and she started to follow suit again: "Dad, I miss my grandma and grandpa too."
It's quite comprehensive.
Xia Zekai found it interesting and asked them: "So you just said you missed your grandparents, and now you miss your grandparents. Tell me, who do you miss more?"
"Hmm, um... I want to do it all!" The girl groaned for a while and finally said this.
Tongtong also nodded fiercely: "I want it too!"
Good guy, I have a good handle on this worldly thing.
Xia Zekai had nothing to say to his two daughters. He was relieved now that even if they were not good at studying in the future, they would not do too badly with their cleverness and sophistication.
In society, this thing is much more useful than knowledge at critical moments.
"Pfft!" Luo Xiyun was cooking when he heard his daughter's answer and burst out laughing on the spot.
How do these two children look like?
It can only mean that she was born well.
After some jokes, Xia Zekai decided to go to his mother-in-law's house tomorrow.
In the evening, after Yatou and Tongtong fell asleep, Luo Xiyun lay on Xia Zekai, stretched out his hand to rub his left arm, and said: "Then you have to drive slower tomorrow. It's a holiday now. I'm in a hurry to get back. There's no traffic on the way.
many."
Xia Zekai patted her smooth and smooth junior and said, "Don't worry, there are still girls and Tongtong following, I will be careful."
"Well, I'll call my mother early tomorrow morning and tell you to cook some food for you in advance." Luo Xiyun said.
"No need, I'll just eat until you're full." Xia Zekai grabbed her mischievous hand and said mischievously.
…
Early the next morning, Luo Xiyun got up early and went to work. On the last day of the year, she, the department manager, would definitely go to the scene to keep an eye on it.
On the other side, after Xia Zekai got up in the morning, he saw that Yatou and Tongtong were still sleeping. His brother-in-law Luo Xincheng had already gotten up, so he said to him: "Xincheng, watch them two, I'll go out and buy some breakfast."
It’s the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and most of the breakfast vendors have gone home to reunite with their families and celebrate the Spring Festival.
Xia Zekai wandered around, and finally bought a pound of whole lamb soup from the Hongyuan Mutton Soup Restaurant, which was still open, and then went to the Baozi Shop to buy 8 large steamed buns, and ate a breakfast together.
An hour and a half later, Xia Zekai drove off with his two daughters and brother-in-law.
Luo Xincheng also asked him: "Brother-in-law, you bought a car again. I remember your original car was silver gray."
When he got in the car just now, he took a special look. The GL8 was now blue and looked new. There was still a peculiar smell in the car.
Xia Zekai said: "I didn't buy them. The company just bought two new cars for office use."
"..." Luo Xincheng stopped talking. He didn't know how to answer.
He thought, doesn't the company belong to you, brother-in-law?
There were indeed a lot of cars on the highway. When Xia Zekai drove leisurely all the way to his mother-in-law's house, it was almost twelve o'clock, nearly an hour later than usual.
When she got out of the car, her mother-in-law Liu Chunhua only had eyes for her two granddaughters, and her son and son-in-law were simply left aside.
Luo Xincheng moved his suitcase down, and Xia Zekai moved another box of wine, two cigarettes, two boxes of milk, and some other nutritional products, snacks and candies.
My father-in-law, Luo Qing, also helped. He still had the quiet temperament, but he was a very nice person.
Mother-in-law Liu Chunhua inevitably complained: "Zekai, tell me why you have to make a trip. Just let him come back by himself."
"Mom, it's okay. There's a holiday in my factory. I'm free at home. Besides, I can't come here in normal times. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I can't come over in advance to give you some New Year's goods." Xia Zekai said.
Liu Chunhua said: "I have everything at home. I bought half a fan of pork. I'm also thinking about taking out the pig's head to make aspic and frying some more meatballs. When you go back, I'll bring some with you.
Tell me what you are going to spend the money on."
There is no arguing over this matter.
It was just in time for dinner, and when Yatou told Tongtong that she was hungry, Liu Chunhua quickly put down other tasks, and without saying a word, brought the dishes prepared in advance to the table.
"Zekai, hurry up and eat it while it's hot, and I'll feed them both." Liu Chunhua was extremely curious about her two granddaughters.
Seeing her wife Luo Qing standing aside without moving, she yelled: "Luo Qing, I asked you to get the Sprite. I can't hear you. What is the pestle doing there? How old is it? It's still like wood."
."
The two of them had been like this for more than thirty years, and Luo Qing had already gotten used to it. He chuckled and went to get Sprite.
Knowing that my son-in-law would go back in the afternoon, he didn't let me drink any wine.
Luo Qing, Xia Zekai, and Luo Xincheng drank Sprite, ate vegetables, and talked about the worries about the New Year.
"Dad, how's it going on your construction site over there? Have all the wages been paid?" Xia Zekai asked.
Before Luo Qing could say anything, Liu Chunhua said: "The contractors over there were taking a long time to settle the accounts. After working for 6 months, I came back on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month and only paid a total of 11,000 yuan. There is still money left."
Quite a few miles.”
These days, 'checking out accounts for migrant workers' is a long-standing problem.
Xia Zekai can't do anything about this. This is a big problem unless the country comes forward.
"Does the family have enough money?" Xia Zekai asked them.
Liu Chunhua immediately guessed what her son-in-law wanted to say, and nodded quickly: "It's enough. I also settled more than 8,000 yuan there, which is enough."
"Um!"
Xia Zekai responded without saying anything.
Before leaving, mother-in-law Liu Chunhua had to give Yatou and Tongtong New Year red envelopes. She also gave each of them 1,000 yuan and refused to let them go unless they took it.
Okay, Xia Zekai accepted it for them both. At that time, the money felt heavy in his hands.
The old couple worked together for half a year, and by the end of the year, they had settled for less than 20,000 yuan. The two little brats took away a tenth of it after eating and drinking.
