Chapter 712 Becoming an Official (6100 Character Chapter) 3100 Months
After coming down from the second floor, I bought some fresh off-season fruits, imported fruits, and some dried fruits on the first floor. Luo Xiyun took the two girls to the cake shop at the end and bought some handmade cakes.
Bread and biscuits.
Xia Zekai thought for a while, then pushed the shopping cart and filled it with pure milk and yogurt.
What can I say about this thing? Give it to the elders in the countryside for easy use!
In addition, he considered giving a red envelope to each of the older generations, so that this matter would be handled smoothly.
When his wife came back from buying cakes and biscuits, they pushed the cart out together.
After settling the bill, I spent a lot today, but the problem is that I didn't even spend the current interest. I wonder if Xia Zekai should drive a truck over to clean up?
During the Chinese New Year, let the elders in the village feel his care?
After leaving the supermarket, Yatou and Tongtong began to feel sleepy. Before they even reached the parking place, they yelled that they couldn't walk anymore and asked their parents to hug them.
Thanks to Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng who were pushing the shopping cart and leading the way, Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun followed behind, not very far away, and they arrived in a while.
Another day passed unknowingly in peaceful busyness.
On Monday morning, Xia Zekai went to the company. He was going to hold a year-end meeting today. By the way, he had arranged his work plan during the holidays in advance and paid out all the benefits that should be paid.
At this time, if you look carefully, you will find that employees who usually work hard have no intention of working at this time.
Everyone has the emotion of "homesickness" causing trouble in their bodies.
In addition, most logistics companies will no longer accept orders from the 25th to the twelfth lunar month, and will basically stop delivering on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. The factory cannot send many goods during this period. It is normal to have a one-week holiday during the Chinese New Year.
no problem.
This year is no exception. Xia Zekai didn't want to ask employees to work overtime during the Chinese New Year to "earn overtime pay." There was no need.
After arriving at the office, as soon as Xia Zekai sat down, he started calling Lu Chen and Wang Yewei, asking them to come to his office and telling them to organize a meeting for the company's managers above the supervisory level.
The two hurried out again, and then summoned all managers above the supervisory level in Qicheng to the head office to hold an annual production planning meeting and discuss safety arrangements for the Spring Festival holiday.
People outside listened to the on-site meeting content through telephone conferences, and the last round of meetings before the year was simultaneously held.
Xia Zekai talked about next year's production plan at this meeting, as well as this year's Spring Festival holiday plan.
"Everyone, go back and tell every employee in your position that our company will have a holiday on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month this year and will work as normal on the eighth day of the first lunar month. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" a group of people shouted loudly.
It was now a ten-day holiday, and everyone felt happy. It was great.
Company Renyi not only made money this year, but also gave them bonuses and had so many vacations. Their hearts were filled with gratitude to Xia Zekai.
Xia Zekai continued: "In addition, the company has prepared a holiday benefit for every employee, a RT-Mart membership recharge card worth 500 yuan. You tell the employees that they can go to RT-Mart to buy suitable new year goods at will this year. The company will
Just ignore this."
"By the way, Mr. Lu and Manager Wang have obtained preferential benefits for everyone. When you go to RT-Mart to make purchases, remember to state your name as 'Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.'. Then each person can receive another bottle of condiments."
Xia Zekai kept talking for more than ten minutes before finally ending the meeting.
After receiving the notice, clerks in various departments hurriedly went to collect holiday benefits according to the employee list of their respective departments.
Xia Zekai called Lu Huan and walked around the company again. He said: "Lao Lu, everyone has been busy this year. Let's take a holiday, but the company will still have a heavy burden next year. After the holiday, you
You must take it up."
He pointed to the North District and West District under construction and said: "Especially for these two new factories, we must urge them to complete the work as soon as possible with quality and quantity. The company is also under great pressure!"
The pressure in Lu Chen's heart was not small at all. He understood the company's layout better than most employees. When he heard what his boss said, he nodded: "Don't worry, boss, I can save it all."
"Well, I'm still very relieved about you, so I won't tell you anything else. This year will be a good one, and maybe we won't have a holiday next year!" Xia Zekai looked ahead. Who can say clearly what the future holds.
Xia Zekai stayed in the company until about four o'clock in the afternoon and then left early.
The Chinese New Year atmosphere in the company is becoming more and more intense, and everyone who has received holiday benefits happily started to show off the company's benefits this year in their respective QQ groups.
A 500 yuan shopping card is basically equivalent to 500 yuan in cash. RT-Mart Supermarket is cheap, affordable and has a lot of activities. It is a must-go place for bulk shopping for both Qicheng and Yicheng people.
This benefit is really worth it!
When Xia Zekai returned home, his wife Luo Xiyun was still wondering: "Zekai, you are very busy today, why are you back so soon?"
"Now that we're done with the main business, Lao Lu and the others will take care of the rest of the little things. I can't keep an eye on everything."
"That's right. Are you going to go later?" Luo Xiyun asked him.
Xia Zekai said 'hmm': "We have a holiday on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. Before then, we have to go there a few times, but I won't be back for long."
"That's only a few days away," Luo Xiyun said.
The couple had been talking for such a long time, but before they saw Yatou and Tongtong, Xia Zekai asked: "Wife, where are they?"
"I went to my second brother's house to play with Amy. Zekai, when do you plan to return to your hometown?"
Xia Zekai thought for a moment and said, "I'm going down for a visit, just in time to discuss it with my second brother to see which day is appropriate to go back."
"I heard from my second sister-in-law that they have a very late holiday. They don't have a holiday until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month." Luo Xiyun said.
Xia Zekai babbled: "The postal service is special. It has to wait until the end of the year to have a holiday every year. It's really interesting."
"You're quite lenient. What date does the holiday take? What's wrong with you?" Luo Xiyun nagged him.
Xia Zekai didn't ask for any favors, so he wisely didn't talk about this matter with his wife.
After saying that, Xia Zekai turned around and went downstairs.
He knocked on the door, and his nephew Xia Jingrui opened the door for him.
Xia Zekai was very happy to see Jingrui: "Jingrui, are you on vacation?"
"Uncle Kai, I'm on vacation, and the teacher gave me a lot of homework, which is really annoying." Xia Jingrui looked unhappy.
Seeing his nephew's appearance, Xia Zekai felt quite comfortable. He remembered that during their vacation, they also had a lot of homework and were bored to death.
Now that this troublesome thing was finally passed down, he felt secretly happy, but he couldn't show it yet.
He and his nephew were on the 'same front': "Well, your teacher just doesn't have a good eye. It's so annoying to give you homework even after a holiday."
"Uncle Kai, you are so right, it's just very annoying." Xia Jingrui felt like he had found a soulmate.
"Where is your dad? Is he at home?" Xia Zekai changed the topic.
Xia Jingrui shouted: "Uncle Kai, my dad is not here. He went out again. He said he was going to check out, but he didn't say where he was going?"
"So busy." Xia Zekai sighed with emotion. It's the end of the year and no one is relaxed.
"Then who is at home?" Xia Zekai asked him. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the voice of his second sister-in-law Dong Fei: "Zekai, are you here? Sit down quickly."
The sound came from the kitchen, the second sister-in-law was cooking!
Xia Zekai said: "Sister-in-law, I'm taking Yatou and Tongtong back, and I wanted to ask you if there is a holiday so we can go back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year together."
"Your second brother and I have discussed that I will take a day off in advance. I will go back on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and we will come back on the second day of the lunar month." The second sister-in-law said happily.
This is understandable, after all, they have their own relatives to leave.
The eldest brother and second brother's father-in-law's family are both in Zhoucheng, so they have to be busy as they should.
Xia Zekai knew it well, and he said, "If it works, let's go together with twenty-eight."
"Zekai, if you are not busy, you can go back first." Dong Fei said.
Xia Zekai didn't agree. He found Yatou and Tongtong on the balcony. The two of them, together with their niece Amy, were playing the game of 'supermarket house'. One person was selling things, and the other two were pretending to be buying them. Everyone had something in their hands.
He was holding a bunch of counterfeit coins with '50,100' printed on them, which looked quite similar.
Seeing her father coming over, the girl said: "Dad, dad, we are selling things again, so you can come and play too."
When Amy turned around and saw it, she also asked: "Uncle Kai, why don't you come and buy something too? It will be fun."
"How did you sell it?" Xia Zekai asked them with a particularly interested expression.
Tongtong was particularly active at this time. She pointed to the 'eggplant' model in her small shopping cart and said, "Dad, eggplants cost one yuan each."
"Tomatoes cost three yuan each, and we also have yellow tomatoes, which cost five yuan each."
Listening to the convoluted name from his daughter, Xia Zekai felt a headache: "Girl, Tongtong, it's too late today, we can't play anymore, let's go home for dinner first."
"Ah... I need to go home for dinner, but I don't want to eat. I want to play with sister Amy for a while longer." Tongtong pouted, not wanting to leave.
The girl also means the same thing.
The second sister-in-law finished cooking another dish and came out of the kitchen wearing a red apron: "Zekai, why don't you let them eat at my house and take them back later."
"Sister-in-law, her mother has done everything." Xia Zekai politely declined.
Then he said to Yatou and Tongtong: "You two are obedient. When you wake up tomorrow morning, you can come over and play with Sister Amy. You can play all day long, okay?"
"Okay then!" Both of them agreed with drooped heads.
Amy also said: "Uncle Kai, let them play for a while."
Second sister-in-law Dong Fei shouted: "Amy, you can't play anymore, hurry up and ask your grandma to wash your hands and eat for you, otherwise you will be hungry at night."
"Humph, mom is so annoying." Amy pouted, unhappy.
The second sister-in-law, Dong Fei, was not used to her problem and went to the kitchen to make soup again.
Xia Zekai took Yatou and Tongtong back home.
Luo Xiyun had already prepared the meal. When she saw Yatou and Tongtong coming in with unhappy faces, she asked: "Girl, Tongtong, what's wrong with you two? Who made you unhappy?"
"It's dad, mom, dad won't let us play anymore, he's so annoying!"
"Humph, I'm so annoyed with Dad."
The two sisters filed a complaint together, inflicting a complaint on Xia Zekai's body. He was so angry that his teeth itched, and he really wanted to give her and the other two a beating.
Luo Xiyun finally understood what was going on. She said, "Mom will beat dad later to vent your anger, okay?"
"Okay!" The sisters agreed happily almost at the same time.
Xia Zekai rolled his eyes at his wife, this woman is really good.
During dinner in the evening, Xia Zekai said to his wife: "Second sister-in-law told me to go back on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month."
"Is she on holiday?" Luo Xiyun paused while serving the porridge and asked.
Xia Zekai nodded: "Second sister-in-law said she was on leave, but she and eldest sister-in-law will come back to visit her parents' house after the second day of the Lunar New Year."
"So, we will have to drive a few more cars by then," Luo Xiyun said.
Xia Zekai nodded: "I have to drive three anyway. I originally planned to have an Alfa and a GL8, but now it seems that it is not suitable."
"Let's eat first, or the food will get cold soon," Luo Xiyun said.
…
Two days later, his brother Xia Zejiang came over. He came with his girlfriend Shen Jiayi. They were also on holiday.
He planned to go to his girlfriend's house again before the year, and then went home with his brother, saying that he could save travel expenses.
"Zejiang, have you replaced your ID card?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Xia Zejiang shook his head: "Brother, it will take another month. These administrative agencies are working too slowly. Now I can't even get a bank card or withdraw money..."
Xia Zekai glanced at him and asked him, "Are you out of money again?"
"No way, brother, you still have a lot of money you gave me last time. I just complained about the speed of the government's work." Xia Zejiang shook his head and did not ask for money.
"Then stop talking nonsense. Just do whatever you need to do. When you're done, come back and wait. We'll go home together on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month." Xia Zekai said.
When he didn't see his brother, he was still worried about him, but when he saw someone, he immediately wanted to kick his brother.
When Xia Zejiang saw that his brother was really about to make a move, he ran away quickly.
Before leaving, he also gave his brother a box of Wuliangye and gave it to his father-in-law, Shen Qishan, to drink.
There is no one left with this kid.
When Luo Xiyun saw it, he smiled and said nothing else.
On Thursday, Xia Zekai received a call from Wang Hongsheng. He also went to the city government. Wang Hongsheng gave him seven or eight boxes without saying a word, including fruits, snacks, various items, and
Frozen hairtail fish.
Wang Hongsheng said this was the Spring Festival benefit they distributed at the end of the year, and he asked Xia Zekai for one.
"..." Xia Zekai was stunned when he looked at these obviously not cheap benefits. He never thought that one day he would also receive the "Spring Festival benefits" from the government.
The whole person felt instantly uplifted.
In Wang Hongsheng's office, the two had a long chat.
Wang Hongsheng also asked him if he had any intention of becoming a "Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference member".
Xia Zekai was stunned at that time. He said: "I am not a party member yet, can I also be a member of the CPPCC?"
Wang Hongsheng told him with a smile: "It's OK if I say it."
Xia Zekai was convinced by this awesome tone. He thought about it and finally nodded: "That's troublesome."
"What trouble is this? Let's settle it. You can prepare the information later and I'll report it to you." Wang Hongsheng said directly.
When Xia Zekai returned home with the Spring Festival benefits Wang Hongsheng gave him, he told his wife about being a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Luo Xiyun was also puzzled: "So you have an official status now?"
Xia Zekai was not sure either. He shook his head again and again and said, "Absolutely. Wife, is your husband great?"
Luo Xiyun said angrily: "You want to go to heaven, okay?"
Xia Zekai chuckled, came to his wife's side, and whispered: "Daughter-in-law, let's celebrate tonight."
With that raised eyebrow, pouting, and mean look on his face, Luo Xiyun wished he could have burned the spatula red and stamped it on his face. What else could he think of doing other than that, bastard?
On the last normal working day before the Spring Festival, Xia Zekai called Zhang Xu and asked him to go to Wang Yewei to sort out his personal information and prepare to submit it to Wang Hongsheng as soon as he got to work after the new year.
Although the title "Member of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference" is just a name, it is also a mask. Xia Zekai thought that if there was a chance, he would do his part.
Just like Yang Tiande said, it is also a skill to "brag" when you go home.
Everything calmed down for the next two days until the weekend.
Xia Zekai didn't go to exercise today. When he got up in the morning, he started to pack things and started loading the 'New Year's goods' he bought at RT-Mart some time ago into the car.
He discovered a problem. He bought too much and couldn't fit it all into an Alfa, even with the rear seats folded down.
In the end, I had no choice but to drive the Bentley back. The Alfa was completely transformed.
The second brother also came down to his car to load things for the New Year, and he took quite a lot.
Mainly, there is his grandma's family at home. Although they don't have much contact with each other because of the uncle's divorce, they have not broken off the relationship. They will still go back and visit at this time.
Xia Zejiang has been staying at his girlfriend Shen Jiayi's house for the past two days. Shen Qishan and Tang Wanqiu treat him like half a son.
The younger one went to live in the same room at home before they received their certificates, and the old couple turned a blind eye and listened.
Anyway, that's the way it is, and they hope that the two of them will graduate as soon as possible and get married as soon as possible in June this year, so that they can also hug their grandson as soon as possible.
"Brother, why did you bring so much wine and milk? Who are you giving them to?" Xia Zejiang also asked.
Xia Zekai said: "For the elders in our hometown, why do you care so much? Work quickly. We will finish cleaning up in a while and leave early."
When Xia Zejiang heard what his brother said, he didn't dare to beep and went to work quickly.
After everything was packed up, the whole family set off directly.
Before leaving, Xia Zekai said to Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng: "When you get home, you can go home to celebrate the New Year."
"Boss, it's okay. I told my parents that I won't go back this year because I'm busy. I transferred 100,000 yuan back to them. They were very happy and kept saying that I was really successful this time."
Wang Yi said so.
Cui Xiaofeng also said: "Boss, I told my mother the same thing. I transferred 80,000 yuan back to them, and my mother told me to work hard outside and not make trouble."
"..." Xia Zekai remained silent.
Human hearts are made of flesh, and comparing hearts to hearts touched him a little.
The car started, with Xia Zekai's Bentley Mulsanne taking the lead. Apart from Wang Yi and Xia Zekai who were driving, the only other people in the car were four little bastards huddled together.
Xia Jingrui has never ridden in this car, and he wants to ride it once or for all.
Yatou, Tongtong and Amy didn't want to separate. There were not so many safety seats, so Xia Zekai could only tell Wang Yi to drive slower on the road.
Fortunately, when other people saw this Bentley on the road, they didn't dare to get close. They either accelerated to pass it or stayed away, which was quite safe.
Luo Xiyun sat in her second brother's car and chatted with her sister-in-law.
The eldest brother Xia Yunfei took his sister-in-law, nephew and uncle directly from the Zhoucheng Expressway intersection to Xiazhuang.
Along the way, I saw many cars with JC license plates heading out. Xia Zekai also said: "Xiao Wang, look, they are all rushing home."
"It's the Chinese New Year," Wang Yi said.
Xia Zekai sighed with emotion, but it was another year before he knew it.
Unlike last year, he truly returned home in glory this year, reaching another peak in both his career and personal achievements. This is a position that he could not achieve despite many efforts in his previous life.
In the back seat, four children were chattering and making noise. Xia Zekai didn't feel irritated, but felt particularly happy.
For people of his age, the Chinese New Year is more of a comfort to go home and spend time with their parents, but for Yatou and the others, it is really about celebrating the New Year, where they can play whatever they want, eat whatever they want, and be happy as they please.
"Xiao Wang, are you dating a girlfriend?" Xia Zekai's question was very provocative.
Wang Yi couldn't keep up with his thinking. After a while, he said: "I haven't found it yet. I didn't have any money before, and my family didn't have any money, so I couldn't afford the responsibility."
"I haven't decided what to look for yet." Wang Yi said the truth.
Xia Zekai smiled and didn't ask any more questions. He closed his eyes and fell asleep without knowing when.
The Bentley's shock absorption was very good and the car was very stable. Time passed slowly while driving at high speed. When Xia Zekai opened his eyes again, he saw that they had got off the highway. Outside were dilapidated walls and old houses.
The uneven roads all told that they were one step closer to home.
Unified reconstruction has not yet begun at the local level, and urbanization construction has not yet advanced to most administrative units of "village". At this time, most of the houses in the villages are still the same as before.
A rough house with red brick and cement walls and little decoration.
"Where are we?" Xia Zekai took a look and saw a familiar building sign. This was the landmark building in their hometown, the high-voltage power tower of the power supply station.
Where his dad works.
"We'll be home so soon." Xia Zekai sighed.
"Boss, we are almost there." Wang Yi said.
"Well, drive slowly and pay attention to safety." Xia Zekai reminded.
It's strange to say that Xia Zekai usually comes back often, but this time he feels completely different and weird!
It also truly made him realize what it means to be "cowardly in close proximity to one's hometown".
