He was busy in the company until five o'clock in the afternoon. When it was time to get off work, Xia Zekai packed up his things and went downstairs.
He called his wife at noon and asked her to pick up Yatou and Tongtong from school.
Seeing Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng downstairs, Xia Zekai waved to them and said, "Xiao Wang, Xiao Cui, let's go back to the community."
Wang Yi went to drive, and Cui Xiaofeng followed Xia Zekai. He could see that the boss was a little tired today.
After waiting for Wang Yi to drive over, Xia Zekai got in the car and left.
When he got home, it was almost six o'clock, his wife was cooking, and Yatou and Tongtong were reading in the living room.
Xia Zekai quietly walked over and took a look, only to realize that they were reading a picture book called Journey to the West. In the picture book, Zhu Bajie was lying on the ground, with his head resting on a stone and his legs crossed. Next to him was a torn watermelon, with his hand
Li Zheng took a piece of watermelon and stuffed it into his mouth, and red juice flowed from his mouth.
"Tongtong, you are Zhu Bajie." The girl suddenly pointed at Zhu Bajie in the picture book and said to Tongtong.
Tongtong was not angry at all. She was quite proud and said, "I am Zhu Bajie, and I want to beat up your little monkey."
As she spoke, she stood up and raised her little fist to hit the girl. The girl knew her too well and was on guard after she just finished speaking. When she saw that Tongtong was about to take action, she stood up and ran away.
If you can't beat him again and again, you'd be a fool if you don't run away.
But when she turned her head, she bumped into Xia Zekai's arms. She screamed, looked up and saw her father, and quickly complained: "Dad, look, Tongtong beat me."
Xia Zekai twisted his mouth and didn't want to speak anymore. Who was deliberately inciting trouble just now?
You deserve to be beaten.
I didn't expect that the girl looked quite quiet, but in fact she was not like that.
He looked at his second son next to him with wary eyes and said, "Tongtong, your sister is full of lies. I don't care about her. You teach her a lesson for me."
As he spoke, he walked towards the kitchen. Tongtong had received the "imperial edict" and was not polite at all, so he continued to chase his sister.
There was a lot of excitement outside, and Luo Xiyun heard a commotion in the kitchen. She had a headache.
When she looked back and saw Xia Zekai, she asked, "I'm very busy today."
"It's okay, mainly because I just made a big decision." Xia Zekai said to his wife.
Then, without Luo Xiyun asking, he said it directly: "There has always been a large sum of money in the company's account. Our family has not been short of money in the past two years, so I have not taken it out. I plan to use one-third of it."
Secondly, buy your own shop.”
Hearing what her husband said, Luo Xiyun asked: "Well, I'll do it when I think about it. How much are you prepared to buy?"
"Wait for the results of Manager Guo's investigation. There are currently many projects under construction in the company. The second and third phases require a lot of money. There is also a lot of equipment purchased in the short term, plus the installment payment to Acme
Project funds..."
"Is one-third of the circulating funds enough? If not, I will transfer the 100 million to you again." Luo Xiyun said.
After Xia Zekai heard this, he subconsciously raised his hand and stroked his wife's hair, and then said: "Don't worry, there are already more than one billion in the company's account, and the money will definitely be enough."
"You can use the money I transferred to you however you want, so you don't have to think about giving it to me again."
At this point, Xia Zekai said: "I'm still waiting for you to invest and make a lot of money. If Jingtong Development goes bankrupt one day, our family will at least have a way out."
"Go away, you can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth. You can live a good life, but you don't expect anything better." Luo Xiyun said to him.
Xia Zekai didn't pay attention. He glanced at the pot and asked, "What is this for?"
"Blackened fish stewed with tofu, I didn't know what I wanted to eat, so I bought a blackened fish on the way back. There are no small bones, so I can let Yatou and Tongtong eat more." Luo Xiyun said.
"What's steaming in that pot?" Xia Zekai pointed to the steaming aluminum pot.
Luo Xiyun opened the lid, and Xia Zekai saw a bowl full of steamed red prawns in a soup bowl. She said, "Tongtong wanted to eat prawns, so I bought some."
"It's quite rich. You go ahead and wash your hands. I'll come over and replace you later." Xia Zekai went out.
Before he could wash his hands, the cell phone he had just thrown on the sofa rang again. He walked over and picked up the phone and looked at it. The name "Wang Hongsheng" was written on it.
"Why is he calling me again?" Xia Zekai wondered in his heart, wondering if Wang Hongsheng wanted to invite him to dinner again?
"Hey, Mayor Wang..."
"Boss Xia, Comrade Liu Changhong arranged for me to ask, when are you free?" Wang Hongsheng directly stated the purpose of his visit.
When Xia Zekai heard that he really had eaten, he felt a little dizzy. He had eaten a lot recently and his stomach was not digesting well.
However, Liu Changhong still had to give him face. He said: "Mayor Wang, I can do it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Why don't I find a place to sit together."
Wang Hongsheng thought for a while and then said: "The day after tomorrow."
When he heard his wife calling him to serve the food, Xia Zekai quickly called Wang Hongsheng.
When Wang Hongsheng heard that Xia Zekai had something to do, the two of them hung up the phone without arguing.
"Zekai, who called?" Luo Xiyun asked.
Xia Zekai said: "Wang Hongsheng hit me because Liu Changhong wanted to sit with me."
"Oh, the first and second leaders in Qicheng City regard you as their favorite." Luo Xiyun was actually a little proud in his heart.
Xia Zekai was not as optimistic as his wife said. He said: "This may not be a good thing, but it doesn't matter. Just improve your own strength first, and everything else will not matter."
If you are not strong enough, you will be like a flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, or a duckweed without roots. Everything is vain and will rot when you poke it.
"Hurry up and eat." Luo Xiyun urged him.
Xia Zekai quickly washed his hands, came over to help his wife, put the dishes on the dining table, and finally took the girl who had become 'Little Black Claw' and Tongtong to wash their hands.
Back at the dining table, Xia Zekai was busy peeling shrimp shells for his two girls.
He did not throw away the shrimp heads and shells, but put them in another small bowl next to him.
Luo Xiyun said with a smile: "When you were poor before, you were reluctant to throw away the shrimp shells, so you gave us the shrimp meat and let you eat the shrimp shells yourself."
"Now that we don't need that little money, you still don't want to throw it away."
Xia Zekai smiled, held up the shrimp head and said, "I'm used to it now. I really like eating it now."
"Besides, eating shrimp shells to supplement calcium, right?"
"False." Luo Xiyun was too lazy to argue with him on this issue.
In this moment, Yatou and Tongtong each piled seven or eight white and tender shrimps in their bowls, and Luo Xiyun also put a few in his bowl. Only Xia Zekai's bowl was full of a mixture of shrimp heads, shrimp shells and shrimp meat.
