Chapter 791 I've been busy for half my life, but I can't keep up with a good son-in-law
"Mom, when will my dad and the others come over?" Luo Xincheng asked after waiting for his mother to sit down.
Liu Chunhua said: "I booked a big car before I came here. Your father will bring his relatives from his hometown over at three o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't worry, I won't delay your business."
Based on her understanding of her husband, she didn't dare to leave this kind of thing to him completely, so it was okay to specify what kind of work to do.
"Mom, that's not what I meant. I have to go from here to Hao Jing to pick up the bride at six o'clock tomorrow morning..."
Xia Zekai asked him: "When will the motorcade come?"
"By the way, please tell me about the other procedures. Let's go through it and make sure nothing goes wrong tomorrow."
When his brother-in-law asked, Luo Xincheng told him honestly, and his three classmates also listened carefully. Finally, one of the slightly fat classmates said: "Lao Luo, the three of us will do it early tomorrow morning."
I followed you to pick up the bride."
"Well, you can just come, brother-in-law, you..."
Just when Luo Xincheng was about to ask his brother-in-law if he was going, Liu Chunhua interrupted his son's ignorant behavior and said: "We can't live without someone we know well. Your brother-in-law has to help take care of the relatives here."
And the relatives who are following Xiaojing’s family.”
Xia Zekai also meant the same thing. It would be inappropriate for him to follow him.
Seriously speaking, his brother-in-law's only support here is the two of them. If he doesn't help at this time, he will always help.
After thinking about what to do tomorrow, it was noon before we knew it. Luo Xiyun went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. There was a bag of eggs, two cartons of milk, and a lot of vegetables on top.
She opened the lower freezer again and took a look. There was a lot of meat and quick-frozen dumplings, but now it was too late to thaw them. She closed the refrigerator door and went out again, saying: "Xincheng, it's getting late, let's go first."
Go down and have some food, then come back and continue the discussion."
That being the case, Luo Xincheng quickly said: "Sister, brother-in-law, there is a fried chicken restaurant in the north of our community. It tastes pretty good. Let's go there to eat some."
"Come on, let's go, finish your meal early, come back and do some summing up, see what else is missing, and hurry up and prepare." Xia Zekai said.
He just discovered something. His brother-in-law was getting married. Although the cigarettes, wine, sweets, and tea were all bought, and the hotel was booked, there was no one to sort out some of the procedures. This was the troublesome part.
The young man was indeed inexperienced. He had been busy at that time and forgot to ask.
Liu Chunhua also realized this, and she felt a little uncomfortable because she was still not fully prepared for her son's marriage.
Halfway through, she called Luo Qing, an old man who was waiting at home, and told him about the matter. She meant to ask him to find a 'good-looking' person in her hometown and come over tomorrow to check it out and arrange the scene.
.
After Xia Zekai heard this, he refused directly. It was too late. Moreover, people who came from his hometown were not familiar with many things here, and they could not explain it clearly to him in a few sentences. In case the woman's relatives were taken care of by then,
If something goes wrong again, it will be even more troublesome.
After much deliberation, Xia Zekai decided to take on the role himself!
This was his first time attending a wedding as a 'chief steward'. It was quite novel and he found it quite interesting.
But this matter is a piece of cake for him. Such a big company has taken care of it, so he is still afraid of this small job.
Luo Xiyun remembered his kindness in his heart and thought about how to reward him when he was done with it.
It was only while eating that Xia Zekai finally remembered the names of his brother-in-law's three classmates.
Their names are Dong Yuankun, Mu Jiangang and Zhao Youlong.
Among the few people, the one who can be remembered at first sight is Zhao Youlong. The boy has long hair, and the most important thing is that he also has a haircut. He is playing a non-mainstream style at the moment, but he is very clean.
Mu Jiangang also asked Luo Xincheng: "Lao Luo, why didn't Gao Chengxiang come? I remember that you two are the best in the dormitory."
"He...didn't know what he was doing. He changed his mobile phone number and couldn't be contacted. Forget it, let's not mention him anymore," Luo Xincheng said.
Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun always felt that the name "Gao Chengxiang" sounded familiar, but they couldn't remember where they had seen it before.
When he was almost finished eating, Luo Xiyun suddenly made an inexplicable "Ahhh" sound, which even shocked Xia Zekai.
He asked: "Daughter-in-law, what makes you uncomfortable?"
"I remembered something. I know who that 'Gao Chengxiang' is." Luo Xiyun whispered to her husband.
Then she told her about how her younger brother went to work in Suzhou City just after graduation, and finally said: "Zekai, don't you remember that when Xincheng first came back from Suzhou City, he and a classmate came to our house...
"
"Oh, it's him. Why does it sound familiar to me?" Xia Zekai said.
That was enough, and Xia Zekai didn't mention it any more. He told his brother-in-law at that time that he was not a good person.
In the afternoon, Xia Zekai exercised his power as the general manager and arranged work for Dong Yuankun, Zhao Youlong and Mu Jiangang.
Not to mention the three of them, Yatou and Tongtong also received the mission.
The job Xia Zekai arranged for the two sisters was to be flower girls.
The wedding day is tomorrow, and it’s not easy to find a ‘golden boy’, so it’s a good idea for the two sisters to go there together.
He was afraid that his daughter would not remember it, so he specially arranged for his wife to teach Yatou and Tongtong what to do tomorrow, telling them over and over again. When his uncle and aunt went to the hotel to hold their wedding tomorrow, they would each hold a
Go up and give the little flower basket to your aunt and uncle. You must not be naughty or cause any trouble.
The girl responded with "Yeah, yeah" and nodded repeatedly. She was more submissive.
Tongtong became a little impatient. She said, "Mom, I remember everything. I'm not stupid!"
"Okay, Tongtong is the smartest. Mom won't say anything. If you behave well tomorrow, mom will buy you delicious food." Luo Xiyun said.
Once I get busy, I feel like time flies by very quickly.
It seems that I haven't done any work yet, the afternoon has passed, and it's dark outside.
Liu Chunhua was sure there was nothing wrong, but for safety reasons, both Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun told her to rest more and move less.
Xia Zekai also said to Luo Xiyun: "Daughter-in-law, before going to the hotel tomorrow, take some time to take my mother for acupuncture treatment to consolidate the treatment effect."
Liu Chunhua kept complaining and said, "Zekai, Xiyun, you two don't have to be like this, I'm really fine."
"Grandma, when I have a cold, I just need an injection. You can also get another injection." The girl stretched out a finger and tapped the back of her hand. It sounded like what she said.
The old lady was amused and said, "Okay, grandma, listen to me and get another injection tomorrow. That's all."
Hearing what she said, the girl was happy. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Grandma is the best!"
Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun went back as it got dark.
Time is so tight. He has to go there at around four o'clock tomorrow morning and prepare in advance. When he returns home, Luo Xiyun washes Yatou and Tongtong and coaxes them to sleep.
Xia Zekai no longer stayed up late and went to bed very early.
…
The sky was still black. At around three o'clock in the morning, a bus came from Yicheng on the expressway. It took two hours on the road and the bus got off at the expressway intersection in the north of Qicheng.
It was only five o'clock at this time, it was not the time to go to work, and there were not many cars on the road. Luo Qing checked the road carefully and found that he had not remembered it at all.
As expected, he lived up to his wife's assessment that he was unreliable in his work.
Finally, I called Liu Chunhua, and then the call was transferred to Xia Zekai.
Xia Zekai directly asked his father-in-law to give his mobile phone to the driver. He told the driver clearly about the road, how to walk from the highway, and how to pass several traffic lights.
The communication from the experienced driver is always reassuring, and there is no need to worry about the car overturning.
Ten minutes later, the bus finally arrived at Jincheng Garden Community just before the convoy was about to set off.
Xia Zekai came to pick them up, with Luo Qing in the front and relatives from his hometown behind.
Xia Zekai found that his wife's grandparents were here, as were his second uncle, third uncle, brother-in-law, and some relatives who looked familiar to him but could not name them.
When encountering this kind of situation, he would always say: "Here we come, the road is going smoothly, please go inside and have a drink of water."
Cope with it.
Others had to praise Xia Zekai: "Look at Lao Luo's son-in-law. He is very thorough and agile in everything he does. He can handle anything."
There are also people who are very envious. Who doesn't know that the son-in-law of Lao Luo's family bought the Qinghe Food Factory in Yicheng that they had worked for more than 20 years and renamed it 'Jingtong Food Factory', and also made Lao Luo...
Went to see the gate.
He said he was looking at the gate, but anyone with a discerning eye would know that it was the son-in-law giving money to his father-in-law in disguise.
Otherwise, a gatekeeper can get a salary of 3,000 yuan a month. What a joke!
It is said that Liu Chunhua was also asked to clean the house and make a living by giving away money.
They have been busy for half their lives and would never be envious of such a good thing.
"Zekai, you go and do other things. I'll greet these uncles." The second brother Xia Yunhui came over from the side.
He also knew about Luo Xincheng's wedding today. Considering that he was afraid that no one would help, he finished his work yesterday and when he got home in the middle of the night, he called his cousin Xia Zekai and asked about the situation here.
In addition to him, Xia Zekai's younger brother Xia Zejiang is also heading here from Jicheng with Shen Jiayi, and they will be arriving later.
When the motorcade set off, Xia Zekai also told his brother-in-law not to be careless.
At this stage of marriage, more than half of the journey has been completed. Don't let a little accident happen at the end and cause trouble.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, it's okay." Luo Xincheng was wearing a close-fitting black suit and holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
Three of his classmates, Zhao Youlong, Dong Yuankun and Mu Jiangang, also got into the car behind.
Several young people from my hometown also got into the car one by one and followed.
Luo Xiyun looked at the retreating motorcade with some worry. She asked Xia Zekai, "Are you okay?"
"Aren't you worrying blindly? Even if the Hao family wants to cause trouble, they have to consider my feelings." Xia Zekai said confidently.
Xia Zekai is not something that just any cat or dog can ignore.
There were many relatives to greet at home, and a simple etiquette scene was set up downstairs. There were more than a dozen rattan arched gantry tiles, which extended from the door of Unit 2 of Building 6 to the roadside. The ground was covered with a red carpet.
, the stalls were covered with colorful confetti, which looked very pleasant.
When his brother Xia Zejiang arrived here, it was almost seven o'clock, and many people were hungry by this time.
Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng went to the fast food restaurant in the north gate of the community to buy steamed buns, pies, and fried dough sticks.
The only thing I had to drink was a bucket of soy milk. It was not the right time, so I kept everything simple and had a good meal when I went to the hotel at noon.
"Zejiang, how's the equipment going?" Xia Zekai took the time to pull his brother aside and asked him.
Xia Zejiang smiled and nodded: "Brother, don't worry, it's all done."
"The equipment doesn't cost much, only around 400,000 yuan in total. I paid a deposit first and they installed the equipment."
"When I increase production in the future, I can just continue to add equipment, and I will have working capital by then." Xia Zejiang said.
Xia Zekai was very pleased. It could be heard from his brother's words that he was very down-to-earth and not too ambitious.
It makes sense that you should eat your food one bite at a time.
"Okay, after you finish this matter, you go to the company to talk to Lao Li, and take a few samples back to proof the quality to see how it is." Xia Zekai also had zero tolerance for his younger brother, saying: "If the quality is not good, I will definitely
Not accepted."
"Brother, don't worry. Even if I lie to no one, I can't lie to you. Otherwise, would I still be considered a human being?" Xia Zejiang vowed.
But Xia Zekai didn't agree with him and said, "Have you been lying to me for a long time?"
After finishing speaking, seeing his brother about to refute, Xia Zekai also gave an example: "Who lied to me that I was going back to Jicheng School, but made an appointment with a female classmate to visit Qicheng Food Street..."
"Brother, how long has it been since the old millet rotted the sesame seeds? Why do you still remember it?" Xia Zejiang wondered how his brother would compete with women.
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you today. Just remember one thing, even if it's packaging materials, you just have to ensure the quality." Xia Zekai didn't say any more nonsense.
There was quite a lot to do. Judging by the time, the bride's convoy should be back soon, and he still had to decorate the place.
Fortunately, my second brother helped take care of these people from my hometown. Otherwise, Xia Zekai, the 'big manager', would be too exhausted to do his job well.
The motorcade that picked up the bride came in from the north gate of Jincheng Community after eight o'clock. There was no turning back.
Xia Zejiang and Shen Jiayi, who were standing next to them, looked at the fleet of cars, as if they were seeing their own wedding two months later.
The two looked at each other, their eyes full of anticipation.
"The auspicious time has come, worship heaven and earth!"
The person who had arranged it in advance shouted, and when the motorcade stopped at the gantry at the intersection, Luo Xincheng took Hao Jing's hand and got out of the car. At that moment, the relatives around him sent their blessings.
Even some neighbors from Building 6 who came down to watch the fun also sent their blessings.
