Not to mention how busy Lu Chen and the others were, Xia Zekai was not too busy.
As the company becomes more formalized and large-scale, and as the company's organizational structure becomes more and more complete, the job responsibilities between various departments become clearer and clearer.
In the past, Xia Zekai had to participate in this and that, and finally give the decision-making results.
But it is different now. He only needs to review and sign the final document after each department has reviewed it, or after cross-review between departments.
Now he is finally freed from the heavy workload and can have more time to focus on other things.
…
On Saturday, Luo Xiyun had a day off, and Yatou and Tongtong also had a double day off.
At around five o'clock in the morning, Xia Zekai couldn't sleep. He had been having a hard time last night. Luo Xiyun was still asleep at the moment. Xia Zekai put on short-sleeved shorts. He whispered in his wife's ear: "I'm going
Go for a run and buy breakfast later. You can sleep a little longer."
At the critical moment, when his body couldn't bear it, he realized the importance of exercise. Xia Zekai decided to change his past and have a good body no matter what.
"Yeah!" Luo Xiyun hummed like a mosquito and fell asleep again.
When I came down from upstairs, it felt a bit hot early in the morning. There were a lot of people exercising downstairs, but most of them were over forty years old, and very few were in their thirties, let alone those under 30 years old.
Yes.
I ran out with my legs open, running north along Xiba Road, a north-south avenue. On both sides of the road were newly planted weeping willows, with soft and tender willow branches swaying in the wind. Unfortunately, the liveliness and rich vitality of spring were missing.
The farther north you go, the more young talents are training here, both men and women. The clothes on their bodies are uniform and the equipment they carry is quite complete.
Xia Zekai took a special look and saw the four characters "Let's run all over the city" printed on the back of the light green short-sleeves they were wearing.
The relationship was still organized. Xia Zekai was an amateur among amateurs. He watched helplessly as the other person ran forward at a constant speed, getting further and further away from him. It was incomparable.
After jogging for almost five kilometers in more than forty minutes, Xia Zekai was covered in sweat and his shorts and sleeves were soaked. He wiped the sweat off his face and hair with the towel around his neck. When the towel passed the tip of his nose,
, asked about the sour smell of sweat.
I bought large steamed buns, soup dumplings, four portions of eight-treasure porridge, and two portions of tofu curd without chili from the breakfast shop along the street from the north gate of the community, and went upstairs.
He actually wanted to drink mutton soup, but there was no mutton soup restaurant here. Xia Zekai thought about taking some time to go back to Qiyun Garden Community to find Boss Zhang to drink his whole mutton soup.
When they got home, none of the three girls were awake. Xia Zekai didn't care about them. He took a shower first to wash away the sweat on his body, and then put on new clothes. He immediately felt full of energy!
He first ate two large steamed buns and drank a cup of eight-treasure porridge, and then began to think about what to do next.
My second brother is treating me to a treat at noon, so I can't keep waiting for dinner.
But Xia Zekai obviously ignored that if a woman falls asleep, she can sleep for most of the day.
While Xia Zekai was waiting, he frequently looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already past nine o'clock, and the three of them were still lying on the bed, refusing to get up. What could you do to them?
"Girl, get up quickly and go play with your sister Amy later." Xia Zekai said.
It's a pity that it's all in vain, Yatou and Tongtong are now stuck around Luo Xiyun, and it doesn't work no matter how they call.
"Daughter-in-law, I have to have dinner with my second brother and second sister-in-law at noon. You are too lazy to get out of bed." Xia Zekai finally said.
Xia Zekai's reminder immediately reminded Luo Xiyun of this other matter. She didn't waste time this time, and quickly got up, washed up, and put on makeup.
The place where the second brother Xia Yunhui entertains guests is on Xiqi Road. The restaurant specializes in seafood and is called Qingcheng Seafood King.
This was Xia Zekai's first time here. The name of the store looked deceptive, but the place was actually a large yard full of fruit trees.
The outside is surrounded by barbed wire. As soon as you enter the door, both sides are planted with peach trees, pear trees and apple trees. There are also three greenhouses on the left hand side, where strawberries are grown.
It's a pity that it's not the right time, otherwise we could go pick some strawberries and eat them.
In the middle is a road paved with fine pebbles, which makes a "creak" sound when driving on it.
At the very back is a steel structure workshop-style hotel.
When Xia Zekai and his family of four came over, there were already many cars parked here and there were many people. Xia Zekai had to walk around half a circle before he found an empty seat and squeezed in.
"Wow, Dad, look what kind of tree that is." The girl had never seen a fruit tree before, so she was startled when she got out of the car.
Tongtong was not interested in this and walked forward with her mother.
Xia Zekai patiently explained to his daughter what kind of tree it was and what kind of tree it was. Luo Xiyun in front said: "Zekai, go into the house first and say hello first before bringing them over."
"Okay!" Xia Zekai responded, looked down at his daughter and said, "Girl, let's go say hello to your second uncle?"
"Okay, okay, I want to play with Sister Amy." As soon as the girl thought about it, she immediately stopped thinking about the fruit tree.
When you push open the glass door and go in, you will be greeted by a variety of seafood displayed at the entrance of the hall, like a seafood rockery.
The middle one also has live seafood kept in various glass aquariums. On both sides are small divided houses. Each small house is equipped with a square table and four long chairs.
As soon as I walked in, I smelled the fishy smell of seafood.
"Wow, Dad, look, look, what is this? It has so many legs!" The girl saw something new again. She lay on the aquarium and looked at the little octopus inside. She was so happy.
Tongtong also became interested. She is more straightforward than her sister, and she is also silly and bold. She would reach into the aquarium to fish for one without even stepping on her feet.
When Luo Xiyun saw it, he quickly pulled her back: "Tongtong, are you looking for a beating? You didn't see the air pump inside. What if there is a power leakage?"
Tongtong stared with big eyes, with an expression like 'You're a liar'.
Luo Xiyun really wanted to beat her, but it was useless and she was so angry.
"Zekai, brother and sister, this way." The second brother and second sister-in-law came out of a large room on the west side.
Amy followed the second sister-in-law. After seeing Yatou and Tongtong, she waved to the two sisters very happily: "Sister Jingya, sister Jitong."
"Uncle Zekai, Aunt Xiyun." Amy shouted over and over again.
She likes to call people by their names and has a really good memory.
"Amy, you are getting more and more beautiful." Xia Zekai praised her with a smile.
The little guy smiled even more proudly.
The girl was not happy anymore and said hummingly: "Dad, I am also very beautiful."
"There's still me, there's still me!" Tongtong was unwilling to lag behind, for fear of leaving her behind.
The adults didn't care about these little brats. Xia Zekai asked: "Brother, brother, are they all here?"
"I arrived early, and I went out for a walk as soon as I came here. I said I wanted to see what kind of fruits were available. You said there are no villages or shops in June, so what kind of fruits can be found, but the seafood here is really good..." Xia Yunhui said.
Just by looking at the cars parked outside and the people in the hall, I knew it was okay.
Second sister-in-law Dong Fei took Luo Xiyun's hand and said, "Xiyun, please follow me in quickly and sit down. I just ordered food and I'm waiting for you to come over."
When she said this, Luo Xiyun felt a little embarrassed. It was all her fault that she was too lazy to get out of bed, otherwise she wouldn't have been the last one to come.
Xia Zekai thought about going out to look for his brothers, but his second brother Xia Yunhui said: "Don't go, I'll call them, let's eat first, and then go out for a walk after we finish eating."
"Okay!" Xia Zekai followed into the house.
The second brother made a phone call, and not long after, the eldest brother Xia Yunfei came back with Qi Lixin, Zhao Ting and a few others. The brothers also held several small gourds in their hands.
Cousin Zhao Ting said: "Brother Hai, why are you here? Let me tell you, there are small gourds growing in the woods outside, which is really fun."
"Girl, Tongtong, these two are for you."
While he was talking, he didn't allow him to slowly divide it up, but a few kids came up and snatched them all up.
The second brother went out again and asked the store to serve food.
After he came in, he said: "This place is quite famous for its seafood, but I heard from the owner of the shop that he can't continue doing it. The government wants to relocate and build a building, so we won't be able to eat in the future."
"Hey, this isn't about development everywhere and selling land to make money." Xia Zekai understands this very well.
The elder brother shook his head: "Tell me, these people just know how to build buildings, but they can't mess up the environment. Our place is very dirty."
He was talking about the Youfang Street in Zhoucheng. There is a smelly ditch next to it. It's okay in winter, but now in this season, flies and mosquitoes are flying all over the sky, and the stench permeates the surrounding area. Walking through that road makes people want to vomit.
"Brother, let's not talk about that today. We will eat seafood and drink wine later." Zhao Ting said.
His brother-in-law Qi Lixin also said: "My dear, I heard that the seafood here is pretty good, but I've never been here. I'd like to try it today, thanks to Brother Zhanhui."
"Lao Qi, you don't need this little money now, why are you so reluctant to part with it?" Xia Yunhui said to him.
Qi Lixin chuckled: "I earned it all from working early and working late, but I really can't bear to spend it."
While they were chatting and laughing, the waiters in the store came over with plates of dishes.
It started with some cold seafood with mustard sauce.
Like steamed baby octopus, baby squid, steamed seaweed with a pile of ginger vinegar sauce, minced garlic oysters...
The second brother also ordered a few normal dishes, such as peppers and eggplants, stir-fried meat and celery, and other seasonal vegetables. Finally, he ordered two seafood chowders. In a short time, the whole table was filled.
Just looking at it makes people very appetizing.
Xia Yunhui pointed to one of the plates of seafood chowder and said: "This plate does not have chili pepper, it is for children."
"That's it, brother, let's have a drink first." After a delicious meal, it would be a disgrace to talk nonsense.
Zhao Ting's suggestion was immediately responded to. He ignored the women drinking juice and started drinking it.
