"Brother Zhen, don't say anything. I promise you, you can definitely find a better one." Xia Zekai and Xia Zezhen's homes are not far apart.
After drinking, they both walked back together.
On the way, Xia Zekai kept trying to persuade him.
Xia Zezhen waved his hand: "I didn't think about it for a long time. For that kind of woman, it's not worth it. I was just thinking about my uncle saying that he would arrange a job at a highway toll station for me. Should I go or not?"
"They say they pay five insurances and one fund, as well as enterprise annuity. Zekai, I know the five insurances and one fund, but what is this enterprise annuity? Do you know, why haven't I heard of it?" Xia Zezhen
Continue to ask.
"..." Xia Zekai immediately shut up and stopped talking. What a waste of time. This worry is not in vain!
In the next two days, Xia Zekai acted as a driver, taking his parents and mother-in-law to visit relatives, and also went to his grandma's house.
Aunt Zhou Yanchun had to return the 1,000 yuan to Xia Zekai, but Xia Zekai also said that the money was for his cousin Zhou Keyi, not her.
One sentence stopped what my aunt still wanted to say.
After leaving several important relatives, Luo Xiyun couldn't wait to go home. On the night of the third day of the lunar new year, she kept telling Xia Zekai that she wouldn't go anywhere until tomorrow and had to go back to Yicheng.
Xia Zekai also arranged this. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, he had to go back to Qicheng for a visit and then prepare for the opening of the company. At this time, time was quite tight.
Before leaving, his mother stuffed most of the trunk of his car.
If Xia Zekai hadn't brought the things he bought for his mother-in-law, Zhou Yinghong would have filled the trunk for him.
"Zekai, please take your time on the road. Don't be anxious. Give me a call when you get there." Zhou Yinghong asked over and over again.
He was afraid that his son would be pressed for time on the road and something might happen to him.
His grandfather Xia Shande was also standing at the door. Looking at his grandson who was about to go away again, he felt a little reluctant to leave, but he didn't say it out loud.
After driving all the way onto the expressway, the road was better than expected. It wasn't so congested that I couldn't walk, but I couldn't run fast either.
Luo Xiyun also called her mother Liu Chunhua and said she would arrive in the afternoon, but it was hard to say what time it was.
Liu Chunhua also kept urging them on the phone not to be anxious and to rest when they were tired.
The walk lasted for more than 7 hours, and he rested for a while at two service areas. Luo Xiyun originally wanted to drive with Xia Zekai in reverse and let him rest in the car for a while.
Come on, isn't this a joke?
When they rushed all the way to his mother-in-law's house, Xia Zekai finally breathed a sigh of relief. Luo Xiyun was still shouting: "Zekai, don't go out during the holidays in the future. It's so hard!"
Xia Zekai really wanted to reply to her. I have heard you say this twice, but after thinking about it, I didn't say it out loud.
After Xia Zekai finished unloading the things for his second elder, he dedicated them to his mother, Zhou Yinghong, and made a phone call to say he was safe, which saved her from waiting for the phone call and was worried.
In order to wait for them, the two elders didn't go anywhere and stayed at home.
Brother-in-law Luo Xincheng is not at home. He went to live with his classmates at noon and has not come back yet.
An angry Liu Chunhua called him twice and scolded him for being stupid.
Xia Zekai and his family of four stayed in Yicheng for two days.
He had other arrangements in Qicheng. The company was about to open on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, so he had to go there in advance to clean up. After staying for two days, he started to return from Yicheng.
However, Qicheng Aideli Co., Ltd.'s opening time was set for the twelfth day of the first lunar month, which was still early. Luo Xincheng still wanted to play at home for a few more days, so he did not follow their car back.
When leaving, in addition to the vegetables that his mother packed, his mother-in-law Liu Chunhua also packed some fried meat and the like, filling the trunk to the brim.
On the Changshen Expressway, Xia Zekai drove slowly. At this time, there were already many cars returning.
For most people, classes start on the eighth day of the lunar month, so they don’t have much free time.
I came back from breakfast at my mother-in-law's house in the morning. After arriving at Qiyun Garden Community, it was basically lunch time.
During this time, the food in his hometown of Xiazhuang and his mother-in-law's house was basically big fish and meat. Now, let alone letting Xia Zekai eat these things, he would want to vomit when he saw them.
When Xia Zekai started to move things into the basement, Luo Xiyun simply made seaweed and egg soup and sprinkled some shrimp in it.
After Xia Zekai finished his work, he drank two large bowls and kept saying that this one tasted better.
Luo Xiyun sneered at his compliment, "I didn't add any salt, you have the nerve to say, it's just a bland taste!"
"Daughter-in-law, I'm going to get together with Lao Li and the others tonight, why don't you go too." After the meal, Xia Zekai said to his wife.
This was agreed upon with Li Mumu and the others when they were in Yicheng.
Before the official start of work, Xia Zekai and the company's management gathered together to chat.
Luo Xiyun thought for a while, but shook his head and refused: "You can take a taxi, I won't go. Don't drink too much. You have to go to Zhoucheng to see the uncle tomorrow."
She thinks very comprehensively.
"Okay, I've been busy at home these days, and you're feeling tired. Let's take a rest first," Xia Zekai said.
There was still some time before going out. After Xia Zekai drank two bowls of seaweed and egg soup, a warm feeling radiated from his body and he felt sleepy. After he finished washing the dishes, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Vaguely, he felt his nose was a little itchy. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yatou and Tongtong, two naughty little naughties, scratching his nose with a brush.
Seeing that their father had woken up, the two little sisters were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated. While retreating, they smiled happily: "Dad, mom said it's almost five o'clock, so let us wake you up."
"Well, mom said you have to go out."
The two little sisters said something to each other. Xia Zekai raised his wrist and looked at his watch. No, it was already five o'clock.
"Zekai, didn't you have an appointment with people from your factory for dinner tonight? Why don't you leave yet?" Luo Xiyun heard a movement in the living room and asked.
Xia Zekai hurriedly got up, washed his face, waved to his wife and said "goodbye", then took his coat and went out.
Xia Zekai came out of the community, hailed a taxi, and said to the driver: "Master, go to Qicheng Hotel."
"Okay!" the taxi driver responded. He should be a driver who doesn't like to talk much, and he was very silent along the way.
When they arrived at the place, Xia Zekai paid and got out of the car, he saw Sun Guoqiang and Lu Huan smoking in front of the hotel. After seeing Xia Zekai, they quickly held the butts of their cigarettes and rolled them on the metal trash can next to them, extinguishing the fire.
After that, he threw the cigarette into the trash can.
"Boss, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why do you look so pretentious?" This was Sun Guoqiang's more elegant way of saying it.
Lu Chen was more straightforward: "Boss, life at home is so good, I must have gained three or four kilograms."
"I gained a pound of weight in one day, how scary it is for you to tell me." Xia Zekai couldn't help complaining.
First he obviously felt that he had gained weight, which was not a good sign.
He was also thinking about finding time to go for a run. If that didn't work, he would go to the gym, which would also be good for his eyes.
"Are they all here?" Xia Zekai asked.
Sun Guoqiang nodded: "We're all here."
"Looks like I'm holding back again." Xia Zekai teased himself.
The three of them walked to the hotel together.
Xia Zekai also asked them about their New Year celebrations.
To put it bluntly, it's pretty much the same: eating and drinking, endless gatherings, endless visits to relatives, endless drinking, and so many social activities every day that you don't even want to go.
"Boss, let's discuss it first," Lu Chen said.
Xia Zekai was puzzled and said, "You tell me."
"Let's drink less wine later and order more vegetables." Lu Hao also felt that whenever meat was mentioned, he would subconsciously feel nauseated and there was no hope.
Sun Guoqiang actually meant this, but it was hard for him to say these words.
Xia Zekai also asked him: "Is it your own intention, or does everyone else think so?"
"I guess I think so, but they are not as thick-skinned as me, so I'm embarrassed to say it." Lu Hao directly took the blame.
Xia Zekai laughed: "I don't want to eat meat anymore."
That’s it!
It is very rare that this management gathering before the start of the class has become an occasion for vegetarianism competition.
I didn’t drink too much wine. I usually only drank eight ounces per catty tonight.
Everyone talked about what happened during the Chinese New Year and had a lot of fun.
At the end of the drink, Xia Zekai held a glass and suggested having a drink together, and also said some auspicious words to wish the company a smooth year and a good start.
Lu Chen and the others also responded in unison, full of fighting spirit!
