Chapter 718 Xia Zekai flees in embarrassment (March 3500)
It was still very lively outside, but the atmosphere at the home of village party secretary Xia Weiliang was getting more and more tense.
At eight o'clock in the evening, colorful fireworks lit up again on the sandy land east of the north end of Xiazhuang Village. All kinds of fireworks looked particularly beautiful in the dark night sky.
Xia Yunlong and Liu Lan, who just came back at noon today, didn't know about Xia Zekai's fireworks. They heard a noise at home and saw various kinds of fireworks reflected on the wall of their home.
I picked up the different colors, quickly put down my bowls and chopsticks and ran from the room to the yard, where I saw the fireworks in full bloom high in the sky. It was so beautiful!
Liu Lan said: "Yunlong, let's watch the fireworks. Don't stay at home."
"Okay, I'm feeling annoyed right now. You ask your son to come over and have a look." Xia Yunlong said.
He was really annoyed. As soon as he got home today, his father gave him an inexplicable lecture.
This year has been really depressing.
He was still thinking, if he had known this earlier, he would not have come back.
As the saying goes, some families are happy and some are sad. Every family is different. It is difficult for gods to take care of household chores. On New Year's Eve, there are also joys and sorrows!
After Xia Weiliang finished eating, he went to the toilet. When he came back, he saw that there was no one else in the room except his wife. He asked, "Where are Yunlong and the others?"
"When I went to watch the fireworks, I didn't pay attention. They disappeared in the blink of an eye." Lian Liting said.
When Xia Weiliang heard his boss say that his son and daughter-in-law took their grandson to watch the fireworks, he immediately felt his blood pressure rushing to his forehead, chest tightness, and a little pain.
The next moment, I felt dizzy in my head. I had a quarrel with my son in the afternoon and made him very angry. I never expected that this would happen now.
At this time, Xia Weiliang felt very dizzy, and his steps were a little weak. He reached out to hold something up, but he swept his hand around and found nothing.
Lian Liting was still mumbling, "It's Chinese New Year, so you two can't have a good conversation," and didn't notice anything unusual about her wife Xia Weiliang.
When she suddenly heard a "bang" in her ears and looked back, she realized that her wife had fallen to the ground and her head hit the edge of a high chair.
"Old man, old man, what's wrong with you!" Lian Liting was frightened all of a sudden.
She panicked and quickly went over to help him up. Only then did she realize that the side where his wife had touched the edge of the chair was still bleeding. The amount of bleeding was not large, but the wound was on the head, and the blood that flowed out made the hair stick together.
It also frightened her.
He quickly took out his cell phone from the black cell phone case on Xia Weiliang's belt and called his son.
Waiting for the call to get through, Lian Liting hurriedly said: "Yunlong, come back quickly, your dad fell down and his head is bleeding."
"Ah...what's going on? I was fine when I came out. Mom, hurry up..."
"Forget it, I'll fight him. Just put him down and don't move." Xia Yunlong was also panicked, but he still knew what to do.
Before he, his wife and children could reach the place where the fireworks were set off, they had to turn back.
His wife was still a little reluctant and glanced at the fireworks a few times, but she also knew the priority of the matter.
That night, the siren of the ambulance tore through the tranquility of Xiazhuang. Later, someone reported that the village party secretary Xia Weiliang had an accident. His family called an ambulance and took him to the county hospital. It was said that he was also injured on his head.
The situation is very bad.
…
"Go to the county hospital? Mom, what happened to Uncle Wei Liang? He was fine when he came to me yesterday to ask for money. Why did he end up in the hospital on New Year's Eve?" When Xia Zekai heard the news, he was particularly surprised.
surprise.
He couldn't describe how he felt, but he was sure that he was not 'gloating' about his misfortune.
After all, in addition to being the village party secretary, he is also the elder of their Lao Xia family.
Zhou Yinghong also shook her head: "I didn't know that your wife, Li Ting, followed the ambulance to the hospital. She seemed to have had a quarrel with your brother Yunlong. I don't know the details. You, sister-in-law Liu Lan, was the only one who took care of the house with the children.
"
"Tell me about this Chinese New Year, why are you making such a fuss?"
Xia Weicheng also said beside him: "I also heard that I had a quarrel with Yunlong, but Yunlong just came back at noon today, what can they quarrel about?"
The uncle Xia Weiguo said: "Brother, why don't we go to the county hospital for a visit? If nothing else, we are also cousins. Let's see what we can do to help?"
"Well, it's time to go. You guys stay at home, your uncle and I will go to the county hospital." Xia Weicheng said.
Xia Zekai asked Cui Xiaofeng to drive the GL8 and take his father and uncle to the county hospital.
It was supposed to be a family reunion, but who knew that such an accident would happen.
…
At night, Xia Zekai and the others fell asleep.
Brothers Xia Weiguo and Xia Weicheng did not return from the county hospital until midnight.
For fear of disturbing the family's rest, the two brothers asked Cui Xiaofeng to drive to the old house and slept for a few hours. At around six o'clock in the morning, they went to the new house with their son Xia Zejiang, Wang Yi, and Cui Xiaofeng.
there.
Xia Zekai got up in the morning and took Tongtong to run and exercise in the area in front of the door. After finishing, Tongtong consciously began to practice the five postures of plum blossom boxing.
What was different from the past was that grandpa Xia Shande sat under the gate and watched the two of them exercise.
Xia Zekai saw his father and uncle and asked, "Dad, how's it going? What's going on?"
"Three fats and three high fats. Your Aunt Liting said that they had a quarrel, and your uncle Wei Liang may have felt uncomfortable. His blood pressure rose instantly, he felt dizzy and fell down. It was nothing, but it was a coincidence that he had a headache.
I fell to the edge of the stool. I was checked in the hospital and found internal bleeding. The condition is not good." Xia Weicheng gave a brief description.
Xia Zekai was puzzled: "How could this happen?"
"Who knows? People from the village committee have also gone. It seems that your situation, Uncle Wei Liang, is not ideal." Xia Weicheng said again.
Xia Zekai frowned slightly and said, "Does this mean I can't do it?"
"Let's save people first and then talk about it. Whether we should be the village party secretary or not is just a matter of that. If we can't even cure people, it's useless to think too much." Uncle Xia Weiguo said.
He said: "Maybe there is too much greed, and even God can't stand it. God is watching what people do!"
"Boss, stop talking nonsense, go home and eat quickly, don't disturb my good mood." Grandpa Xia Shande muttered.
The uncle, father and other old brothers immediately stopped talking and went home obediently.
Xia Zekai thought about what the uncle said and smiled silently.
"Grandpa, look, I'm not lying to you. As far as Tongtong has practiced, I can't stand still. Tongtong beat me several times." Xia Zekai didn't hesitate to belittle his ability. He said: "Grandpa, wait for me.
The villa over there has been renovated. You and I will go live in Qicheng. I will make a large room for us to exercise. Then you will also exercise hard and try to build up muscles and become a fashionable little girl.
Old man."
Xia Zekai said this.
These words made Xia Shande amused, and he didn't mention anything about his lack of energy and poor mental state.
After Tongtong finished practicing, she ran to him and shouted: "Grandpa, look at whether I practiced well or not."
"Okay, Tongtong practiced so well, even grandpa is ashamed of himself!" Xia Shande praised her.
Tongtong was proud, she said: "I said that I must be very good at training, but my father still doesn't agree!"
Xia Zekai thought that his daughter was becoming more and more cunning in complaining!
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Just after breakfast, the four brothers and their families went out to pay New Year greetings again.
On the way, he ran into Xia Yunhua, whom he had met a few days ago. When they met, he insisted that we get together at noon and have a good drink.
He also contacted other brothers of his generation at home to get together.
The eldest brother and the second brother both agreed, as did Xia Zekai and his younger brother Xia Zejiang.
Even Xia Zekai didn't expect that there would be twenty-five people coming to have a party at noon. It was a good two tables.
In the end, they went directly to Xia Yunhua's house, and Xia Zekai went home and brought a box of wine.
These brothers, who usually don't get together, may have the same blood connection in their bodies. After a few words of conversation, the strange feeling that was not often seen gradually disappeared.
They also talked about the accidental hospitalization of village party secretary Xia Weiliang.
A cousin named Xia Yunkai said: "I heard from my dad that Uncle Wei Liang's condition is very bad this time. He needs to be treated slowly. In my opinion, he can't be the village party secretary. Now the village committee
I heard that the people there are all thinking about who will be the next village party secretary."
"There is still this matter, are you sure? How about one of our brothers is a party member, and we gather the strength of the old Xia family to push him forward." Another eldest brother named Xia Yunhong said.
He usually works in southern Henan Province, installing plumbing pipes. He does it by himself and makes some money, but the scale is small, so it is easy to do some work but difficult to collect accounts.
He hadn't come back for several years, and it was rare that he came back this time.
Xia Yunhua interrupted at this time and said: "Brother Zekai, are you a party member? If you are a party member, brothers will push you up."
This was just a joke. Xia Zekai was not interested in the seat. He said: "I am nothing, I didn't even join the group!"
"Oh, that's such a pity." said an eldest brother who lived in Xiazhuang's hometown. He said: "Brother Zekai, you don't know that your prestige in our old Xia family is very great now. If you
If you say you can be the village party secretary, many people in the village will support you."
Hearing what he said, Xia Zekai smiled, took the initiative to change the topic, and talked about something else.
…
On the morning of the second day of the second lunar month, the eldest brother Xia Yunfei and the second brother Xia Yunhui had breakfast at home and prepared to return to Qicheng.
After returning home, I have to accompany my sister-in-law back to my parents' home. In addition to this, there are other relatives there who have to leave, so they are all very busy.
Xia Zekai and his mother Zhou Yinghong gave each of their two nephews a bag of freshly processed flour and half a bag of cornmeal. They killed all the big roosters they bought and packed two for each of them.
Each person also packed a bag of Chinese cabbage grown in the farmland.
If the trunk of the eldest brother and second brother's car hadn't been so big, the aunt Zhou Yinghong would have wanted to fill their cab.
At the gate, Xia Zekai saw his uncle Xia Weiguo saying goodbye to his grandfather.
"Dad, I have to go. Let's go back together in your eldest grandson's car. Didn't Zekai also say that when his villa is renovated, you and my brothers and sisters will live there. To be honest,
You are already so old, don’t be reluctant to leave home. When you get there, you can also stay with me for two days. How great!"
"Dad, it's getting late, let's go quickly!" the eldest brother Xia Yunfei shouted.
He also came over and held Grandpa's hand, and said with a bit of reluctance: "Grandpa, you can follow my brother Zekai to live in Qicheng next time. Our family will be closer by then. It's only half an hour's drive away."
We can all get together.”
"Hey, you guys go first, I'll wait until your brother finishes decorating." Xia Shande said.
It was difficult to make sense before, but this time I readily agreed.
Watching the eldest brother and the second brother leave, the grandfather stood at the door with a black dragon-head crutch in his hand and did not return home for a long time.
Zhou Yinghong also asked her son: "Zekai, your eldest brother and second brother are gone. When will you go to Xiyun's house?"
Xia Zekai glanced at his wife, then at his parents and grandfather, with some reluctance in his eyes, and finally said: "Tomorrow, didn't you go to my grandma's house today? Let's go there together later, and we'll catch up tomorrow
Let’s go directly to Yicheng.”
"Leave early and be quiet!" Xia Shande waved his hand, turned around and went home a little lonely.
Looking at his grandfather's figure, Xia Zekai felt filled with panic. Every time he faced this kind of separation, he felt uncomfortable.
He could only comfort himself in his heart. In half a year, the family would live together, and things would not be like this by then.
Grandma and grandpa have strong bodies, which makes Xia Zekai feel relieved.
Before leaving, he left another 20,000 yuan for his grandma and grandpa so that they would not be reluctant to spend it.
On the morning of the third day of junior high school, Xia Zekai still got up and it was rare that he didn't exercise.
He stayed with his grandfather and talked a lot. The two of them chatted for more than an hour.
After Luo Xiyun packed up the belongings of his family of four, and his mother Zhou Yinghong packed flour, cornmeal, home-grown vegetables, etc., and put them all in the car, Luo Xiyun could no longer bear the emotion of parting.
, took the crying girl and Tongtong into the car.
Xia Zekai was still under the car and said to his mother Zhou Xiumei: "Mom, when this season's grain is harvested, don't plant any more this year. Ask whoever is willing to plant and let them plant. Wait until six or seven at the latest."
Come on, I’ll come and take you to Qicheng.”
"Don't worry about these things. We'll talk about the specific situation later." Zhou Yinghong did not give her son an accurate answer.
Xia Zekai thought to himself, I knew you would do this again.
He said to his father: "Dad, I won't say any more nonsense. Zejiang will get married after graduating in June, and he will definitely end up there in the future. If you insist on living at home, I won't say anything else."
, at worst, we’ll have to run back and forth from both sides in the future, but it’s quite tiring, isn’t it?”
"You bastard, you've started to complain about this before your bulge is bulging. Get out of here!" Xia Weicheng looked everywhere, as if he was looking for something. Xia Zekai was so frightened that he quickly got in the car and ran away.
