"Boss, what are you having for dinner tonight? I'll order the food."
Looking at Shi Guangdong's flattering face, Liang Rubo couldn't wait to slap him: "Eat the buffet, let's eat whatever you want tonight. When the day is over, I'll invite you to the Capital Hotel to treat you to a feast.
.”
What I didn’t say is that you can just eat some, not to mention that the buffet is also divided into different levels.
Han Ke and the other five all went to work happily. Liang Rubo looked at these people who were about the same age as him and thought that after finishing the work, Brother Xia should give some bonuses to celebrate.
After all, he, Yiming, Yang Bin, and Yu Shuping were all "poor" and their families were living in poverty. They really didn't have the generosity of Brother Xia to spend two million in cash on a bonus.
To be honest, Liang Rubo is also looking forward to the day when this platform will appear as soon as possible.
He was originally going to go out for fun on Saturday weekend, but Xia Zekai's cold has not healed yet. If he moves violently, it will trigger a series of coughs, which will give him a stomachache.
I couldn't bear it anymore, so I went to the hospital. The doctor said that he was suffering from wind-chill caused by blowing the air conditioner, and his lungs were yin-deficient. He really asked his brother to tell him.
The slightest stimulation or strenuous exercise will cause me to cough incessantly. I am half-dead and can't go anywhere, so I might as well recuperate at home.
On Saturday afternoon, Luo Xiyun said to Xia Zekai: "Zekai, while Zejiang and Xincheng are in Qicheng, why not invite them over for a meal tomorrow."
"Okay, go ahead and do something. My lungs are so constricted that I don't want to move." Xia Zekai was half lying on the bed, groaning and looking like he was terminally ill.
Luo Xiyun didn't even look at him.
Yatou and Tongtong were playing remote control racing cars in front of their father's bed. The sound of whooshing sounded in the room. Before they noticed, there was a "bang" sound and the car hit the wall. Then, with a "doo" sound, the car hit again.
On the wooden wardrobe.
After a few times, the car body began to fall apart, but Yatou and Tongtong were having fun and didn't care whether the remote control racing car was bad or not.
When the car was so damaged that it could no longer run, the two of them rolled around on the ground and begged their parents to buy them a new one.
This move is really amazing.
But because they were making trouble, Xia Zekai couldn't sleep at all. He usually thought they were cute, and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them. But today, Xia Zekai felt that they really deserved a beating.
"Girl, Tongtong, you two go play and let dad rest for a while, okay." Xia Zekai said in a low voice.
But the two girls didn't care at all. No matter what their father said, they still played with themselves.
What's more, the girl went to the room where the toys were kept and dragged over a large bag of wooden toys with building blocks, which fell to the floor with a crash.
The two sisters were not afraid of the cold on the ground, so they just sat on the ground, crossed their legs and started playing.
Luo Xiyun called her brother Luo Xincheng outside and asked him to come over for dinner. The boy hesitated and didn't know what he was doing, but finally agreed.
"Zekai, have you told Zejiang?" Luo Xiyun asked him.
Xia Zekai said nothing, and he quickly called her brother.
He remembered that his brother was going on a business trip next week, so it would be nice to have a meal together tomorrow.
When Xia Zejiang received the call, he was busy preparing the documents he would bring with him for a business trip on Monday, and went to the Finance Department to borrow money.
He has no money. This is also a preferential treatment provided by Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. to employees for travel expenses. They can borrow money first and then get reimbursement with invoices and documents when they return from the business trip.
When the time comes, more will be refunded and less will be replenished.
When his brother called for dinner, Xia Zejiang agreed without saying a word and said that he would definitely take Shen Jiayi there with him.
"Okay, should we eat at home or go out?" Xia Zekai asked his wife.
Luo Xiyun thought for a while and said: "It's better not to go out to eat. I'm going to buy some ingredients. Let's make it at home. It's clean and hygienic, so you can eat with confidence."
"Besides, you are like this. You can cough up your lungs even if you take two steps. Tell me where we can go." Luo Xiyun didn't even bother to talk to him.
Xia Zekai chuckled and did not argue.
Yatou and Tongtong were still sitting on the ground, and the two sisters had built a castle in a short time.
"Girl, Tongtong, are you two going shopping with me?" Luo Xiyun asked them.
The girl thought for a while, turned around and asked Xia Zekai who was lying on the bed: "Dad, are you going out?"
"I won't go, you go play with your mother." Xia Zekai coaxed her, wishing he could drive these two girls out as soon as possible.
Normally, Yatou and Tongtong would definitely go out to play. They like to join in the fun.
But I don’t know what happened today. They both said nothing and didn’t go out.
"Mom, dad is feeling uncomfortable at home. My sister and I are taking care of him at home. You can go on your own," the girl said.
When Tongtong heard what her sister said, she followed suit: "Dad, I also want to take care of you at home."
"Dad, do you want some water? I'll get you some water!"
"Pfft!" Luo Xiyun burst into laughter. She thought that her daughter was more powerful, because she was afraid that her mother would be tired and would not go out.
Xia Zekai said nothing. He turned away and pulled the blanket over his head. He wanted to sleep but couldn't.
The movement range was a little wider, and then there was a burst of: "Cough cough cough cough..."
The coughing made him blush and make his neck thick, and the blood vessels in his neck bulged one by one. He was hunched over like a shrimp. He was suffering all the time.
Luo Xiyun felt particularly distressed when she saw it. She went to the kitchen to get an apple, peeled it and handed it to him: "Zekai, take a bite of an apple and press it."
…
Luo Xiyun went out to buy ingredients at the farmers' market and seafood wholesale market in the city.
Xia Zekai was resting at home, watching his two daughters and telling them not to cause trouble.
On the other side, Xiazhuang, Xia Weicheng's home.
Xia Weicheng came back early today. His wife Zhou Yinghong called him and said that his father-in-law Xia Shande was not feeling well. How could Xia Weicheng, his son, dare to delay.
After returning home, Xia Weicheng shouted: "Dad, Dad, how are you?"
"What can I do? I'll be fine." Xia Shande was sitting in the room blowing the air conditioner.
The temperature of the air conditioner was not low. He made a pot of tea and drank it slowly, shaking his head and humming a few lines to the Peking Opera playing on the tape recorder.
When I heard the second son yelling after he came in, which disturbed his enjoyment of listening to the play, he scolded him: "You are yelling at me, you didn't see me here listening to the play properly."
"But just now Yinghong said you weren't feeling well," Xia Weicheng said.
Xia Shande didn't care at all. He said, "Don't mention it. I tripped over the threshold when I went out just now and fell to the ground."
When Xia Weicheng heard this, he thought this was more serious!
He quickly ran to his old father, looked carefully up and down, left and right, and found no obvious trauma, so he asked: "Dad, do you feel any pain somewhere?"
"It doesn't hurt anywhere. Are you bothered? Just leave me alone." Xia Shande waved his hand and knocked away the hand that extended his penis.
With such nimble skills, Xia Weicheng didn't believe that his father was in good health, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Yinghong went to the Xiazhuang Clinic and brought back some tiger skin and musk plasters. When she saw Xia Weicheng coming back, she said, "Weicheng, you're back just in time. Hurry up and put it on my father's waist."
This suddenly made Xia Weicheng nervous again, as his old father was still injured.
Lifting up his clothes, he saw a blue and red scar on his waist. Xia Weicheng quickly said, "Dad, why don't we go to the hospital and have a look."
"Knock it on your ass, put a plaster on me and rest for two days." Xia Shande rolled his eyes at his son and asked him to apply it on himself.
Seeing the second brother Xia Weicheng's eyes rolling around, wondering what he was thinking, Xia Shande scolded him: "Let me tell you, don't tell Zekai or your elder brother about this, let them come back and run away again."
One trip, what are you fussing about, it’s not enough to waste time.”
"Hey, okay, I understand." Xia Weicheng agreed.
He didn't intend to tell his son, after all, he, as an father, still cherishes his own face.
If something happened, he would tell his son. It seemed that this was all he had as a father. If he was useless, he couldn't afford to lose this person.
When Xia Shande mentioned his grandson, he suddenly sighed and said, "There are no children at home anymore, so it's strangely deserted."
"Dad, do you miss Yatou and Tongtong? How about I call Zekai and ask him to come back and stay with the child for two days?" Xia Weicheng suggested.
But he was glared at by his own father again: "You just wander around the house every day when you are free. Anyone who has the ability will go out to work to make money."
Good guy, these words are not very insulting, but very hurtful. Xia Weicheng felt like he had been stabbed in the heart with a knife, it hurt!
"Dad, I am a serious person who works and gets paid, okay!" He also tried his best to defend himself.
But Xia Shande didn't look at it at all. He said: "With your salary of less than one thousand yuan, if you didn't make some money from Yinghong farming, you wouldn't be able to do anything."
Xia Weicheng suddenly didn't want to stay at home anymore. He thought about working the night shift for two days because it was too uncomfortable to stay at home.
Xia Shande tapped the table to the tune of Peking Opera. He suddenly remembered something and asked: "Ai Cheng, I remember when Zekai came back last time he said he wanted to build a house in Xiazhuang. Go to the village committee."
Have you asked about how to get a homestead?"
"I asked. Zekai's household registration is still at home. As long as he leaves the household and registers with the village committee, they will allot him a homestead. However, the area is not big. If he wants to make it bigger, he still has to spend some money.
Money matters." Xia Weicheng said.
He did ask, and the final result was just eight words: There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. There are always people who take risks for the sake of profit.
After hearing this, Xia Shande said decisively: "Then make up the money and ask them how much it is. The bigger the better."
"Dad, these are all valuable things. The most I can give you is more than 200 square meters. No matter how much it is, they are afraid of checking." Xia Weicheng said.
Xia Shande shook his head: "Okay, just take the money and do it. Quickly confirm the homestead site, so that you can tell Zekai that he is willing to build a house as soon as possible if he has a place at home."
Xia Weicheng said "Hey", asked his wife for some money, and took it out.
…
On Sunday, Xia Zejiang brought his girlfriend Shen Jiayi to his brother's house early.
When he came here, Xia Zejiang also bought a doll set for each of his two nieces, which cost him a lot of money.
He said to his brother: "Brother, the toys Jiayi bought for Yatou and Tongtong, I think they are quite cute."
Xia Zekai looked at his brother quite amusedly, and said whatever he wanted.
Luo Xiyun went to cut a plate of fruit. When she came back, she heard what her brother-in-law said. She said, "What did you two buy for them? There are a lot of toys at home. We are all a family. Don't spend this money in the future."
Not interested in this."
After finishing speaking, she put the fruit plate on the coffee table. Luo Xiyun turned to the bedroom again. She rummaged through the drawer where she kept her jewelry and found a gold bracelet. She was very satisfied when she saw that the label on it had not yet been removed.
.
After leaving the bedroom, she walked up to Shen Jiayi and said: "Jiayi, when you came here last time, your sister-in-law didn't give you any gifts. I just went to the gold store to buy it for you a few days ago. Hurry up and try it on.
Try it and see if it fits."
After saying that, she took out the gold bracelet, pointed to a buckle and said, "If it's big, just tighten it here."
"Sister-in-law, you can't do this!" Shen Jiayi saw that it was pure gold. This thing was too valuable. How could she dare to accept it?
But Luo Xiyun also became angry: "Jiayi, this is the first gift my sister-in-law has given you. No matter what you say today, you must take it."
"Uh!" Shen Jiayi wondered how overbearing her sister-in-law was.
"Dang Dang!"
Someone knocked on the door, and Xia Zekai said, "Is Xincheng here? I'll open the door."
Luo Xiyun smoothly put the gold necklace in her hand back into the small box, and then pushed it into Shen Jiayi's hand: "Hurry up and put it away."
Shen Jiayi was helpless. She glanced at Xia Zejiang, and Xia Zejiang also winked at her and told her to put it away, and then put it in her small bag.
Xia Zekai went to open the door, and outside the door was his brother-in-law Luo Xincheng.
But Luo Xincheng didn't come alone. He was also looking at a girl who looked pretty pretty.
He is tall, has long hair, and wears two large earrings at least three centimeters long.
"Brother-in-law!" Luo Xincheng shouted happily when he saw the door opened by his brother-in-law.
The girl next to me also shouted: "Brother-in-law"
It's just that the sound is so small that you can't even hear it if you don't pay attention.
Xia Zekai wondered what day it was today and why did they come in pairs?
Besides, he hasn’t heard from his brother-in-law about the date he wants to talk to?
Does your wife know?
"Ouch, it's hot outside, you two come in and sit down quickly." Xia Zekai opened the door.
The woman's name was Hao Jing, a name not commonly used. She followed Luo Xincheng through the door.
Xia Zekai shouted: "Daughter-in-law, Xincheng is here with his friends, please bring out two more cups."
"Xincheng and who?" Luo Xiyun was getting some fruit for Shen Jiayi. She was serving her brother without even turning her head. Naturally, she didn't see Hao Jing who came in with her brother.
"Sister!" Luo Xincheng shouted. When Luo Xiyun turned his head, with a look of astonishment in his eyes, he pointed at Hao Jing and introduced her.
He also said hello to Xia Zejiang, but when he saw Shen Jiayi, he was also confused, who was this?
Could it be that the brother-in-law and his younger brother are dating?
After Luo Xincheng finished his introduction, Luo Xiyun welcomed Hao Jing's arrival.
However, after letting Hao Jing sit down and seeing her looking here and there with twinkling eyes, both Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun frowned slightly. This Hao Jing looked a little weird.
But they couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.
Sisters Yatou and Tongtong were very happy when they saw so many people coming to the house. They ran around the house with their toys, and even deliberately ran to crowded places, hoping to attract more people to join them.
Play together.
Shen Jiayi accompanied them.
During the meal, Xia Zekai noticed it, and so did Luo Xiyun. Hao Jing sat at the dining table and never stopped holding the chopsticks in her hands. When others were talking, she ate, and when people asked her questions, she still ate.
It feels like I haven't eaten enough.
And when you meet your ‘parents’ for the first time, shouldn’t you be ‘reserved’?
Luo Xincheng may have noticed it. He also pulled Hao Jing's clothes under the table and asked her to look at the color. Unfortunately, Hao Jing didn't understand.
Hao Jing ate for a while, and she was probably full, so she sat there quietly, drinking juice with a cup in both hands, and not talking much. It really seemed like there was a lack of communication.
Xia Zekai thought about taking the time to ask his brother-in-law what was going on later.
You have to keep your eyes peeled when looking for a partner. Not to mention how beautiful and virtuous you are looking for, at least you have to find someone normal. Why worry about such a big thing?
After the meal, Xia Zekai specifically asked about his brother's business trip next week and also asked about his brother-in-law's situation in the factory.
There haven't been any big changes on Luo Xincheng's side, but according to his own words, he is about to be promoted and his boss has already talked to him.
Luo Xiyun also said beside him: "There are a group of people who are going to be promoted in July. It seems that you have arrived at this group."
"This is a good thing. I'm going to have to raise my salary by then. Why can't I get a raise of five to six hundred yuan? I'll decorate the house in two months, and I'll be ready to get married."
"Brother-in-law, you can't be that fast!" Luo Xiyun glanced at Hao Jing subconsciously. He was indeed shy, but Hao Jing didn't seem to feel anything and still sat there quietly.
Is it a slow response? Or something else?
Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun were very suspicious.
Xia Zejiang said that he set off directly to Bei Ha Province on Monday morning, mainly visiting the market there.
Unexpectedly, his younger brother was out of the province. This was also the first time he went out alone. Xia Zekai finally said: "Be safe when you go out. Don't join in the fun if you have nothing to do. Do you have enough money? Don't take too much cash. Save it all."
Cary, be careful when taking the train, there are quite a few pickpockets on the train."
"Brother, I know, don't worry." Xia Zejiang vowed and patted his chest. He was not worried at all.
Shen Jiayi hesitated to speak. She was a little worried, but in the end she said nothing.
In the afternoon, I originally wanted to keep them at home for dinner, but Hao Jing insisted on leaving no matter what. Luo Xincheng tried to persuade her in vain, so he finally obeyed her.
The young couple Xia Zejiang and Shen Jiayi simply left.
Watching the four of them go away, Xia Zekai said to his wife Luo Xiyun: "Daughter-in-law, please take some time to ask Xincheng what's going on with Hao Jing. Why do I think she's a little abnormal?"
"Well, I also look like I have a neurological problem." Luo Xiyun frowned. She was very dissatisfied with her brother's partner.
