Chapter 713 Private money was discovered, ask for a monthly pass)
A group of three cars were walking on the country road from the countryside to Xiazhuang, traveling very slowly.
There are a lot of pedestrians on the road, and the road is not wide. It can only allow two cars to cross each other in parallel. In addition, the road is damaged by dump trucks transporting sand and gravel, causing the road to be bumpy and uneven. Cars can't run away at all.
Can't get up.
Xia Jingrui couldn't stand it anymore. He said, "Uncle Kai, why are you wandering around like this? I feel like vomiting."
"Jingrui, please bear with it and it will be over." Xia Zekai had no choice.
He usually takes the small dirt road to the west when he comes back. Although it is a dirt road, it is well paved and the surface is smooth.
But today is the last big gathering in the village before the New Year, and many people have gathered there. They drive over there just to cause traffic congestion.
If you are at a loss, the people in the countryside don't care whether your car is a Bentley or not. Sometimes you may pass by just by wiping it.
Indeed, as Xia Zekai said, after another three or four minutes of walking, the road was completed. After the car entered Xiazhuang, it was all asphalt.
Because transportation vehicles are not allowed to run here and are only used by ordinary people in the village for normal travel, the road surface is maintained particularly well, and there are not even cracks on the asphalt road.
Xia Zekai pointed the way to Wang Yi: "Xiao Wang, go to the second alley to the west."
His new house is over there, close to the north. When you turn the corner, you can see the two-story building.
In a village full of mostly undecorated summer houses with square meters, it looks so outstanding.
Xia Yunhui was driving behind him. When he saw his cousin taking another road, he didn't think much, so he followed around the corner. When he saw the two-story building that had been clearly decorated, he asked
"Brother and sister, is that the house Zekai just built?"
"Second brother, it was just built in the second half of last year. I asked my grandfather and parents to move in at the end of the year. There are more rooms. I will have a place to live this time." Luo Xiyun said with a smile.
Even if we can’t live here, we still have an old house!
Xia Yunhui finally understood why his cousin said at the time that the family had 'plentiful places to live'. This was how feelings were.
The drainage ditch on the west side of the house is protected with cement boards, and the area next to the wall is completely made of hardened ground, which is perfect for parking.
It's no problem for three or five cars to pass side by side.
Three cars stopped side by side. When he saw that there was a space for another car next to him, Xia Yunhui got out of the car. When he saw this, he said, "Zekai, this parking space is really well built."
At this time, most families in the countryside cleared out a small piece of land near the wall of their house to grow store vegetables, which could feed their family for more than half a year. What Xia Zekai did was still unique in the entire Xiazhuang.
One serving.
It is inevitable that some people are envious and others are bitter.
After Xia Zekai got off the car, he chuckled when he heard what his second brother said: "Brother, it's just for convenience. I can have a place to put my car when I get back. Otherwise, it will be blocking the roadside. Wouldn't I be dumbfounded then?"
Already."
His mother, Zhou Yinghong, hurried out of the house. As soon as she opened the door, she saw her son and nephew at the door: "Zekai, Yunhui, you are finally back."
"Aunt!" Xia Yunhui shouted.
"Mom, where is my dad?" Xia Zekai asked.
After Xia Jingrui, Amy, Yatou and Tongtong got out of the car, Zhou Yinghong seemed to have seen the baby bump and came over: "Jingrui, Amy, Yatou, Tongtong, oh, look at this little baby
Your face is red from the cold, hurry up and go into the house with grandma."
"Grandma, I still have to get something delicious!" Tongtong was unhappy, she pointed at the white Alpha and said.
In addition to the New Year's goods, the three of them also bought bread, biscuits, dried fruits, etc. in the car.
She wanted to eat it as soon as she got in the car, but Xia Zekai was afraid that she would accidentally get stuck in the car and refused to let her eat, so her daughter nagged her all the way.
Zhou Yinghong looked around and realized that there were fewer people. She asked: "Zekai, where is your uncle?"
"My uncle is following his elder brother in his car. He should be there soon," Xia Zekai said.
After such a long time, he still hadn't seen his father come out. Xia Zekai asked again: "Mom, my father is not at home."
"He is on duty today and will come back in the afternoon." Zhou Yinghong said.
When Xia Zekai heard this, he said: "Mom, what kind of shift does my dad still have? He will reach retirement age in a few months. If not, he can apply for early retirement."
He also said: "My villa will be renovated after the new year. When the renovation is completed, you will all go to Qicheng to live together."
"If you really don't get used to living there, I'll buy 4 apartments and give you one to live in." Xia Zekai said, "Your son is rich."
Zhou Yinghong went up and slapped him on the back: "He's full of nonsense. I don't know what to say about getting rich."
Then she turned to look at her daughter-in-law and nephew-in-law, and said, "Xiyun, Feifei, take the children into the house first. The boiler heater is burning in the house, so it is warm."
It is indeed much colder in the countryside than in the city.
Amy and the other three little girls had already begun to cry out, so Dong Fei and Luo Xiyun quickly took them in.
Xia Jingrui is not afraid of the cold. His father even bought him two boxes of fireworks. He is still thinking about setting off fireworks.
Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng got out of the car. When Zhou Yinghong saw them, she called out kindly: "Xiao Wang, Xiao Cui, you two are here too."
The two of them were not embarrassed, so they both said "hmm", opened the car door and helped unload the things.
When Zhou Yinghong saw the car full of wine boxes and boxes of pure milk, she was stunned for a moment and asked her son: "Zekai, whose family are you giving this to? Our family doesn't have that many relatives?"
"
"I'm thinking of giving it to the grandparents in my family, one share for each family," Xia Zekai said.
Zhou Yinghong didn't say anything else.
Before the things were unloaded, his elder brother drove over in a Buick Camry. When he saw there was an empty space next to him, he jumped in and parked the car.
The uncle Xia Weiguo got out of the passenger seat, and the sister-in-law Li Aijuan and her nephew Xia Yuxi also got out of the back seat.
Seeing several people still unloading things there, Xia Weiguo shouted: "Yinghong, Aicheng is not at home."
"Brother, he went on duty and will be back in the afternoon. It's cold outside. You go home first to warm up."
Li Aijuan said about her daughter: "Yuxi, what did you say when you came here? Why don't you call me grandma?"
Xia Yuxi quickly called her grandma, which made Zhou Yinghong very happy.
Xia Weiguo looked at his nephew unloading so many things on the car. He was also puzzled and asked. When his nephew said that they were given to the elders in the village, he said, "It's really good that you have such thoughts."
"Uncle, I just made some bad money, I don't know what to do anymore." Xia Zekai was not proud.
After working for more than ten minutes, I finally moved everything home.
At this time, Xia Weicheng, the eldest brother, and the second brother had time to take a good look at the new house.
Looking at the exquisite decoration of the room, which was no less than that of a building, and feeling the temperature in the room, several people even went to the separate boiler room to take a look. They were amazed to see the boiler that made a "booming" sound when burning charcoal.
"This room is usually closed, so we don't dare let people come over. It's hard to tell if it gets burned." Zhou Yinghong locked the door of the boiler room again.
She just needs to come regularly and add enough carbon to the boiler.
Xia Weiguo nodded: "This house is really well done, so I spent a lot of money on it."
"Brother, Zekai asked his friend to have the construction team from the County Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau come over to do it. It probably cost less than 400,000 yuan." Zhou Yinghong told the truth.
Xia Weiguo sighed: "My family is really cheap. If we can do this in Qicheng, why can't we afford it for a million less?"
"Dad, you are really good at talking about useless things. If this house were bought in the capital, it would still cost hundreds of millions. Can it be compared?"
After Xia Zekai heard this, he laughed: "Brother, second brother, let's see which room we'll stay in tonight. We can't live here, so we'll go to the old house. There's also heating and air conditioning, and the room is sufficient."
"It's okay to live here. I've dried the bedding and the heater in the room is full. It might be too hot to sleep at night." Zhou Yinghong mentioned.
At this moment, Dong Fei and Li Aijuan went directly to the second floor to look around and found a room to put down their things.
Each room is not small, and the bed is 1.8 meters, which is enough.
All it takes is a TV in each room, so that it feels like staying in a standard hotel room.
"Oh, this place is really nice. It's so comfortable to live in." Sister-in-law Li Aijuan doesn't envy the building. She really doesn't want to live in a building. She always feels that a bungalow without a yard is better.
I was extremely envious at this moment.
Dong Fei wanted to live there permanently, and she was wondering when their family could change to a small villa.
"Dad, Mom, come down quickly and get me the fireworks. I want to set off the fireworks." Xia Jingrui, who was waiting below, got impatient and shouted noisily.
Amy and Tongtong also jumped: "I want to let go, I want to let go too."
The girl was much quieter. She shouted: "Dad, my cannon is broken!"
It became lively all of a sudden.
In the main room on the first floor, old man Xia Shande was sitting on his official hat chair, watching his five great-grandchildren jumping around in the yard, and he was very happy in his heart.
He stood up and came to the yard with a cane: "Go and play, go and play!"
Xia Yunhui was annoyed by his son, so he quickly took out the fireworks. There were all kinds of fireworks, but not too many.
Xia Zekai was still thinking about whether to go to the market to buy more before the last New Year's Fair ended.
Zhou Yinghong was one step ahead of him and said: "I'll call your dad and ask him to buy more."
"Mom, this thing is not cheap. Does my dad have any money?"
At this time, Zhou Yinghong rolled her eyes at him: "Zekai, I haven't settled the accounts with you about the money you gave your father. It's enough for him to spend."
"-_-||"
Xia Zekai was speechless. This was his father's private money that was discovered and hasn't been confiscated yet?
Xia Zekai thought, I can only offer my father a moment of silence.
Several people nearby were happy when they heard it.
…
When Xia Weicheng drove back in the afternoon, he brought back a cart full of fireworks. It's a good thing that he didn't check these days, otherwise he would definitely be regarded as a fireworks seller with this amount. I didn't say that he would be fined 20,000 yuan first and detained for half a month.
Not to mention selling, Qicheng later issued a strange rule that those who buy fireworks will be fined 2,000 and detained for a week after it is implemented.
Some policies are so evil that they change their flavor after passing on at some level.
Nothing to say.
Xia Jingrui and the other children were very happy when they saw Grandpa Er pulling back a cart full of fireworks.
It didn’t take long in the morning to build the fireworks I brought back from Qicheng. Now I was worried that I would have nothing to set off, so my second grandfather bought them, and bought so many.
"Thank you, Grandpa Er!"
"Grandpa is so kind. Did you drop the cannon?"
Xia Weicheng said cheerfully: "Yes, yes. Grandpa, when I went there, I cleaned a stall directly."
Look at the confidence in this statement, it's different if you have money in your pocket.
Xia Weicheng didn't originally plan to buy so much, but his son called him alone and told him that his 'private money' had been exposed, so he could just 'spend it all'.
On the surface, all the money was used for business purposes. After it was gone, Xia Zekai would give it back secretly.
Xia Weicheng resolutely implemented his son's suggestion. He really spent it all in one go. He thought that the next time he hid his private money, he would have to hide it carefully.
Why is it so hard to keep some money on hand?
Xia Weiguo also asked him: "Brother, how many fireworks did you buy?"
"Brother, let's play, just have fun during the Chinese New Year." Xia Weicheng is different now from the past. He doesn't value money so much now. Unlike before, he wished he could break a dime into two nickels and spend it slowly.
That night, the sky was filled with fireworks and colorful lights near Xia Zekai's new home. The sky was bright for a long time and attracted many villagers from Xiazhuang to come and watch.
As more people came, Xia Jingrui not only wasn't afraid, but also played more enthusiastically.
The big man didn't dare to set off the fireworks, so he asked his father and Uncle Kai to help set off the fireworks.
This busy work lasted two hours, and then I had to stop.
The fireworks are gone.
Xia Weicheng was shocked. He spent nearly 10,000 yuan to buy fireworks and built them in less than one night.
Good guy, even if he knew that his private money was discovered by the old lady and had to be bought into fireworks, he still felt distressed right now.
The five children, Xia Jingrui, Xia Yuxi, Yatou, Tongtong and Amy, were so addicted to playing that they jumped around and set off fireworks one by one, no matter how much they spent.
Xia Zekai said: "Go to bed early today. There will be a big market in town tomorrow. I will take you to buy some."
"Oh, Uncle Kai is the best." Xia Jingrui was extremely happy.
Xia Yunhui wanted to kick his son in the butt.
The children didn't know how much it cost, but the adults knew it.
Xia Yunhui also said: "I will buy some tomorrow too."
"Brother, no need, I just want to have fun during the Chinese New Year. It's good to get together. I just made a lot of money the year before. I'll buy it this time." Xia Zekai was so happy that he said, "But let's do it.
I forgot to buy clothes for grandpa when we were here, so why don't you and your eldest brother buy two sets?"
After hearing this, Xia Yunhui patted his cousin on the shoulder: "That's it, your elder brother and I will buy clothes."
