Xia Zejiang came out of the house, already wrapped in a long black down jacket. He stamped his feet in a slightly exaggerated way: "Brother, it's so freezing in this damn weather."
"Then why don't you hurry up and help me get my things? I'm still freezing and haven't warmed up yet." Xia Zekai really wanted to kick his brother's feet. What the hell!
Eyes on the face are for seeing things, not for decoration.
When Xia Zejiang saw that his brother was getting angry, he stopped beeping and went to work quickly.
Seeing that there was really no space left in the back seat and trunk of the car, Xia Zejiang's mouth twitched and his hands shook: "Brother, there are so many things!"
"Nonsense!" Xia Zekai unloaded the cigarettes, wine, sugar, tea and other snacks and nutritional supplements in the trunk, and asked his brother Xia Zejiang to quickly run home to get them.
It feels good to have someone to guide you.
The two brothers worked back and forth three times before they were done. After running around a few times, their bodies became much warmer.
After finishing the work, Xia Zejiang approached his brother and asked in a low voice: "Brother, if I remember correctly, your car is silver. Why did you get a new car?"
"The company bought it, not me." Xia Zekai kept saying the same thing.
This car is indeed the same as the previous GL8, and it is linked to the company account again.
Xia Zejiang sneered at his brother's reply. What a liar!
Xia Zekai was still wondering what his father was doing just now. When he went to the kitchen, he realized that his father was watching the fire on the kitchen stove, cooking meat.
There is a large basin next to it, which is filled with freshly cooked meat and is still steaming.
"Dad, how much meat did you get?" Xia Zekai looked at the pig in the big basin and half a pig's head. He did the math in his mind and realized that it was quite a lot.
Xia Weicheng lowered his head and looked inside through the mouth of the stove. The fire was burning brightly, and the sound of blowing wind could be heard.
He said: "I directly bought a pig, the kind that grew up eating grain. I divided the meat and sent a leg to your grandmother. Your three aunts bought a leg. The pig went into the water and so on.
I was asked to stay and cook, and they are all here."
How heroic, I actually bought a pig to kill and eat. It turns out that having money is the last word.
The hot steam coming from the big basin was still a bit scalding, so Xia Zekai picked up the chopsticks next to him and fiddled with it. He picked up a piece of small intestine, wrapped it around a few times with the head of the chopstick, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Just like when he was a child, during the Chinese New Year, he ran around wildly outside. As soon as he smelled the aroma of cooking meat at home, he knew that the meat at home was cooked, so he hurried home. At that time
, his favorite thing to eat is the small intestine, and he never gets tired of eating it.
"Have you washed your hands? Why are you still as virtuous as when you were a child?" Xia Weicheng said to him.
Xia Zekai chuckled: "Dad, the smell of meat is still the same. If you feed pork with feed, you won't be able to taste the smell anymore."
"Well, it cost a lot of money, otherwise they wouldn't sell it." Xia Weicheng said.
His son is his confidence now, otherwise he would not spend this 'unjust money'.
Unknowingly, Xia Weicheng accepted the fact that his son was better than him, and he naturally accepted his son's "filial piety" money. In his son's words, he ate what he needed to eat and bought what he needed to buy. Now he was considered free.
opened.
But what else can we eat in the countryside? It's just pigs that some people feed with grain, which are specially reserved for their own families to eat during the New Year.
In the end, I was stunned to ask Xia Weicheng to buy it at twice the price of an ordinary pig. When the family who feeds the pigs put it all together, they bought this pig. Even if they buy another pig to feed the big ones, they can save the money of a pig.
, worth it!
However, this also made the pig farmer realize that pigs fed purely with grain are more valuable!
This is something other people think about and has nothing to do with the Xia Zekai family.
Yatou and Tongtong had just eaten a bowl of pure pork meatballs, and they were hungry again. Yatou and Tongtong each came over with a small bowl, and Zhou Yinghong followed them.
Seeing her father in the kitchen, the girl shouted: "Dad, I'm hungry and I want to eat meatballs."
Tongtong shouted loudly: "Dad, I want to eat meat."
At this time, the most indispensable things at home are these things.
Xia Zekai quickly filled a bowl for them from the small pot of pork meatballs next to them, and then helped Tongtong get a medium-sized piece of lean meat from the meat pot.
"Let's go eat inside." Xia Zekai coaxed them.
Luo Xiyun now went to their room to pack things.
"Dad, I just bought pork, nothing else?" Xia Zekai was still confused.
Xia Weicheng said: "There is also some beef and mutton. Those things are easy to smell. I will cook them at the end."
now it's right.
He took off his outer coat and threw it into the house. Then he asked his mother Zhou Yinghong for a stain-resistant coat. Then he turned and went to the kitchen: "Dad, you have to rest first. I'll light the fire for a while."
"fine!"
Before Xia Weicheng finished speaking, Xia Zekai directly picked him up from the small stool beside the stove: "Just rest if you want. I bought you a lot of good cigarettes."
Xia Weicheng was a little confused about how much smoke it was.
When he went to the main room, he was a little dumbfounded when he saw a bag full of cigarettes of various brands on the long bench.
He didn't count them in detail, but at a glance, there were at least a dozen.
Are you buying me all the cigarettes for a year?
But these cigarettes are not cheap!
Xia Zejiang discovered something. After his brother's family of four came back, especially when he saw his sister-in-law and two nieces, his mother shifted her attention. He, who was single and still in school, was no longer popular in this family.
Even the status of former college students is in jeopardy.
His mother didn't even look at him, and even talked about having a girlfriend without even bringing her back for her to see.
I wanted to take a look at the photos, but there weren't even any photos. I really doubted whether what the child's father said was true.
"Brother, are you busy over there?" Xia Zejiang simply had nothing to say.
Xia Zekai taught his younger brother something intentionally or unintentionally, talked about some situations in the company, and briefly talked about the development plan for the next year.
Xia Zejiang listened carefully, but he finally confirmed one thing. Just listening was useless, he couldn't understand it at all.
When Xia Zekai asked him about his graduate studies, Xia Zejiang became more energetic. He boasted about his studies in class, and the two brothers really hurt each other.
He was talking happily when he saw his brother bending down and looking down at the stove. His brother was adding wood to the stove in a hurry.
Come on, it’s all for nothing!
Everyone in Xiazhuang also heard the news that "Xia Zekai, who has become prosperous outside," has just come back. Some people thought of coming over to talk to him, but after thinking about it, they realized that they had nothing to say.
What did you say when you went there?
Is it possible to ask him: "Zekai, have you eaten?"
"Xiaoxia, are you sleeping?"
"Nephew, when are you free for a drink?"
How embarrassing!
However, there were a few people who had played well with Xia Zekai who didn't have so many scruples. One of them, Gao Cheng, called Xia Zekai directly: "Zekai, I heard you're back. How are you? When are you free?
Let’s have a drink together.”
These words were more direct, and Xia Zekai felt comfortable listening to them, but he was busy controlling the heat and frying sweet potatoes with his father. After thinking about it, he said to the phone: "Let's go to junior high school. Goodbye at noon.
After the New Year, let’s get together, who else is there!”
"Zezhen, Zelin, Gao Fei, Yunsheng and others are all back. You didn't come back the year before last and the year before last. We haven't seen each other for several years. Let's drink more when the time comes." Gao Cheng chattered.
Once you hear these people, you must drink more.
"Okay, I have no problem, Gao Cheng, I'm still busy blowing things up here, let's call back later." Xia Zekai finally said.
Xia Weicheng also asked him: "You guys are playing together. I heard they are all back. How about you call them all over to your house and have a drink together in the evening."
"Dad, let's forget it. Let's have dinner as a family tonight." Xia Zekai shook his head and rejected his father's kindness.
"Just look at the arrangements." Xia Weicheng continued to be busy, using chopsticks to pick up dried sweet potatoes, dip them in some flour, and throw them into the frying pan.
The sound of "sizzling" came from the oil pan, and a stream of smoke rose from time to time. Everything was so harmonious. Xia Zekai liked this environment, which could completely relax him.
At this moment, he didn't even think about how much money he would make next month or how much money he would make this year.
I just thought that this scene before me could last forever, preferably forever!
During this period, Luo Xiyun also came over to help, but his father-in-law kicked him out. He also said that there was a lot of fumes here and it would be bad to stay there for a long time.
Xia Zekai was disgusted when he heard this. His feelings would be fine if he stayed here!
In the evening, the family had a wonderful meal.
Xia Zekai glanced at it. The table was full of meat or meat products. It was really difficult to find some green leaves here!
"Mom, this is not okay. I can't digest it if I eat too much. Are there cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.?" Xia Zekai asked his mother.
A cucumber is also fine.
When Zhou Yinghong heard this, she quickly went to get it.
I also made tomatoes mixed with sugar. Yatou and Tongtong saw that there was sugar in the tomatoes. They liked it and ate more.
Xia Zekai was very happy when he saw that his grandfather had eaten a lot of meat, which showed that the treatment was indeed effective.
Like he did before, it was hard to swallow even a little bit of food, which made him, a grandson, feel uncomfortable just looking at it.
"Grandpa, my house is really renovated this time. The furniture has been installed and appliances have been purchased. When you finish your treatment in March, I will take you over to live there for a while."
"I won't go!" The old man still said the same thing.
Xia Zekai didn't care about him. He would have a solution when the time came. How could he get in the car and fly back to Xiazhuang?
The old man has been looking at Yatou and Tongtong now, he is very happy.
The night after returning home, Xia Zekai slept very peacefully, and for the first time, he was not woken up by his biological clock.
The next day he was woken up by the sound of roosters crowing and dogs barking. It was already past seven o'clock.
