"Zejiang, come here, let me pour you another glass. I promise this is the last glass." The second brother Xia Yunhui's face was also flushed. He held the wine bottle in his hand and said with a smile on his face.
Xia Zejiang shook his head, feeling more awake like this: "Second brother, I really can't drink anymore. If I drink any more, I'll vomit."
"I'll give you the trash can, do you want it?" the eldest brother asked him.
Xia Zejiang didn't know how to respond to this rejection.
Zhou Yinghong looked at her youngest son a little worriedly, and said, "Yunhui, your brother has never been a good drinker. He is not as good as you, so don't let him drink."
The second aunt said so, Xia Yunhui didn't force it anymore, he said: "Aunt, if I don't pour it for him, I can't affect your eagerness to have your grandson."
"Hi, granddaughter is the same, I don't care." Zhou Yinghong was afraid that her daughter-in-law would overthink it, so she followed.
This nephew's joke made her take it seriously.
It made everyone present laugh.
Shen Jiayi was still a little embarrassed, but she no longer blushed when she heard this issue being discussed again.
She said: "It would be great if I had twins like my sister-in-law."
"Mainly, my family has the twin gene. Besides, it's tiring to have two children at once. If you want to have two more children, come one at a time, don't worry." Luo Xiyun also advised her.
…
The eldest brother and the others stayed at Xia Zekai's place until about four o'clock in the afternoon. In the end, they all left despite Xia Zekai's efforts to persuade them to stay.
The weather in Qicheng finally cleared up. After the heavy rain, the entire machine of Qicheng's stagnant economic development began to operate again.
Big brother, second brother, they can't sit still after four days of rest, and they will start to get busy tonight.
It was rare for Lao Qi to rest for a day, but letting him rest for one more day was like cutting off a piece of flesh from his body, and he couldn't hold himself steady.
When I was busy, I thought about how good it would be to rest for a few days, but when I really relaxed, I was thinking about my business again, and I felt that I had made a lot less money even if I took a day off.
Xia Zejiang drank too much. When he and Shen Jiayi were walking together, Xia Zejiang staggered and couldn't stand at all.
Shen Jiayi couldn't help him alone, and it was Xia Zekai who arranged for Wang Yi to send the couple off.
Xia Zekai couldn't stand the smell of alcohol all over his body. He said to his wife Luo Xiyun: "I'm going to go upstairs first and take a bath and rest for a while."
"You go ahead, I'll take Yatou and Tongtong to play down there for a while," Luo Xiyun said.
After watching her father take the elevator upstairs, the girl approached Luo Xiyun and asked her: "Mom, please accompany me to paint."
"What do you want to draw?" Luo Xiyun went to the study room on the first floor to find her daughter's brushes and drawing board, and asked her.
The girl thought for a while and said: "I want to draw rain. It has been raining for a long time. The children have nothing to eat or drink, and they have no clothes to wear. It's so pitiful. I want to give them delicious cakes. It looks good."
clothes."
After listening to it, Tongtong felt so bored. She said, "I don't want to paint. I want to go out to play with my grandma."
After she finished talking, she went to find Zhou Yinghong: "Grandma, please take me out to play."
When Zhou Yinghong saw her granddaughter looking for her, she would not refuse at all. She nodded repeatedly: "Okay, where do you want to go?"
"Let's go to the park and play." Tongtong said.
When Luo Xiyun heard what she said, he immediately agreed: "Xiyun, I'll take her out for a walk."
But as soon as she finished speaking, she held the pen in her hand, and the girl who was about to paint stopped drawing. Instead, she fastened the cap of the pen and said to Luo Xiyun: "Mom, I also want to go out and play with grandma."
"Go on, you two listen to grandma and don't run around. Remember that." Luo Xiyun asked them both.
"Yeah, don't worry, mom!" Tongtong said.
But the more she said this, the more uneasy Luo Xiyun became, always feeling that the second child would cause some trouble.
Seeing her mother-in-law taking her two daughters out, she said to Geng Yuqin: "Xiao Geng, just follow me and call me if you need anything."
Geng Yuqin followed.
Luo Xiyun felt a little sleepy. As soon as her daughter left, she thought she would go upstairs and take a nap.
Upstairs, after Xia Zekai came out from the shower, he saw his wife already lying on the bed.
He was wearing a blanket and looked drowsy.
"Aren't you playing with the girl and Tongtong? Why are you here again?" Xia Zekai wondered.
Luo Xiyun said angrily: "The two of them followed our mother to the park opposite. I was very sleepy. They left and just took a break."
"Then you rest, I'll wash the clothes." Xia Zekai took the dirty clothes he changed to the nearby room dedicated to washing clothes, threw his pants and jacket into the washing machine, and rinsed the underwear with underwear soap.
Put it into the mesh bag specially designed to separate underwear, and throw it into the washing machine together.
The automatic time set by the washing machine has been over forty minutes. No matter how idle he is, there is no way he can wait here to finish washing the clothes before leaving. He thinks about going back to the bedroom to chat with his wife, but he opens the door and goes in.
By the time his wife was about to fall asleep.
Xia Zekai shouted: "Daughter-in-law."
Grain machine
"Don't disturb me." Luo Xiyun seemed to be really sleepy. After Xia Zekai took a shower, he felt that the alcohol was starting to take effect, and he felt sleepy. His eyelids kept fighting: "I'll take a nap too."
After saying that, he lay down next to his wife. Luo Xiyun felt that he was crowded and said to him: "Zekai, lean outside, you are so annoying."
Xia Zekai was puzzled by what he said. He wondered what was wrong with me.
But before he could get the answer, Luo Xiyun fell asleep again, and the sound of extremely rhythmic breathing made Xia Zekai couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep in a daze.
He didn't know how long he had been sleeping for, but Xia Zekai felt itchy in his arms, as if something was crawling on his body, which gave him goosebumps all over his body.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that his wife was already awake and her fingers were drawing circles on him.
Seeing that he also opened his eyes, Luo Xiyun took his hand back as if nothing was wrong.
"What time is it?" Xia Zekai asked her.
Luo Xiyun said: "It's not even six o'clock yet. If you go to bed again, you won't be able to sleep at night."
"Don't you deserve a beating? You won't let me sleep soundly even if I take a nap." Xia Zekai was so angry that his liver ached.
Luo Xiyun had a bad smile on his face and said: "Get up quickly, I have to go downstairs to cook. Our mother will be back soon with Yatou and Tongtong."
As she spoke, her loose collar parted when she stood up. Xia Zekai saw two irregular arcs as soon as he glanced at it. He didn't know if it was because of drinking, but his mouth suddenly felt dry.
The next moment, he raised his hands and grabbed his wife's waist when she wasn't paying attention.
"What are you doing? Get away!" Luo Xiyun raised her hand and was about to slap him, but she could still support it with two hands, so one hand was useless and her whole body fell directly on Xia Zekai.
…
Accompanied by a burst of indistinct murmurs from his teeth biting his lips, Luo Xiyun lay on the bed again, closing his eyes as if falling asleep again.
Xia Zekai looked at the hairs on his wife's face as if they were breathing. He raised his hand to grab two of them, but his hands were still hanging in the air when he heard a burst of noisy footsteps outside the door, and then the girl and
Tongtong's shouts and the sound of banging on the door followed one after another.
"Dad, open the door quickly, I'm back."
"Mom, are you asleep too? You don't even look at what time it is. It's time for dinner. Please open the door for me."
"Dad, Mom, you two are too lazy. My sister and I both came back in a circle." Tongtong yelled loudly.
In the house, Xia Zekai and his wife, who were still lying on the bed and ready to go back to sleep again, were stunned when they heard the shouts of the two girls outside the door.
"Why are they back? Why don't you get up quickly? Really, it's all your fault!" Luo Xiyun quickly found clothes and put them on.
Seeing that Xia Zekai had not moved yet, she slapped Xia Zekai: "Why don't you get up? Hurry up, they will come in soon, don't you feel embarrassed?"
Xia Zekai watched his wife finish putting on her clothes without blinking, then found his own clothes and put them on in twos and twos.
He also muttered: "Thanks for closing the door just now."
"Get out of here, that's okay!" Luo Xiyun raised his foot and wanted to kick him, but Xia Zekai dodged him.
When Xia Zekai went to open the door, the girl looked at her father suspiciously. Her mother said, "Dad, you are so lazy. I have already followed grandma around, why are you still sleeping?"
Xia Zekai didn't care. He said, "Dad hasn't had a good rest these days. Isn't he too tired?"
"Really?" Why can't the girl believe it so much?
But she couldn't think of any other reason and stopped talking.
Tongtong rushed in and told Luo Xiyun about what she had just been playing in the park with her sister and grandma.
She also said: "Mom, I saw a lot of people running there, so I ran too."
"Oh, you are so powerful, can you outrun them?" Luo Xiyun asked her.
Don’t forget to go to the bedroom and bathroom to wash yourself briefly.
Tongtong said proudly: "I can do it."
"Is it true? Tongtong is so awesome."
"Mom, your face is so red. Do you have a fever? Let me feel if it's hot." Tongtong noticed that her mother's face was a little red while her mother was washing her face, just like when she had a fever.
She sensibly raised her hand to touch her mother's forehead, but Luo Xiyun slapped her away.
Luo Xiyun always felt like she was caught by her daughter when she did bad things. She quickly took out a cotton towel and wiped her face and said, "Let's go downstairs to cook."
The girl was also taken downstairs by Xia Zekai.
Mother Zhou Yinghong had already gone to the kitchen to cook. When she saw her son coming over, she was ready to help. She said, "Did you drink too much in the afternoon? You go and rest for a while. I will make some egg soup and it will be ready in a while."
"Mom, I won't eat, please cook less," Xia Zekai said.
We finished our meal after three o'clock in the afternoon. Not to mention that Xia Zekai wasn't hungry anymore, but everyone else wasn't very hungry either. But Zhou Yinghong was used to eating three meals a day, so Zhou Yinghong still felt like eating a little.
