Chapter 45: Family Gatherings
There was the sound of running water and the sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding in the kitchen, and Ye Kai was washing dishes in the back kitchen.
Li Meili lowered her voice and asked her husband in a low voice: "Do you think what Xiao Kai said is true? Just write a book and earn millions? When is the money so easy to make." ”
Ye Xiuqiang's heart was not calm, he lit a cigarette with a trembling hand, took a big puff, and said calmly: "Didn't Xiao Kai write some stories when he was in the student union, it should be true." ”
"As for whether the money is good or not, you can just look at us in the mirror. What a good boy, I got up early and worked hard for six years, only saved more than 700,000 yuan, and his work in a few months has increased me tenfold. ”
"I knew that Xiao Kai would have a chance sooner or later, great. Li Meili pursed her lips and did not let the tears of excitement flow out.
Ye Xiuqiang looked calm, but his smoking hand was shaking all the time. He knew that it would be a matter of time before his son's income surpassed Lao Tzu, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
I can't tell what kind of feeling came to my heart at this time, I was moved, sour, and scared, what Ye Kai said before resurfaced in my mind, and kept repeating it.
Retirement pension, retirement pension......
My son has earned their income for a few months in a few months, so what's the point of keeping busy on his own? Who doesn't want to be idle and do what they love?
At this moment, he really felt old.
At this time, the sliding door was opened, and someone shouted, "Boss, boss, what's the matter?"
Li Meili hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, "I'm sorry it's not open today...... Brother, why are you here? ”
The person who came was Ye Kai's uncle, Li Meimei's brother, named Li Dashan.
This shows the level of grandpa's naming.
Ye Kai's grandfather is also a strange person, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has played a magic dragon fist with one hand, and he is full of tigers, and he heard that seven or eight young strong men can't get close to him when they fight.
also said that he was a descendant of Li Zicheng, which made Ye Kai excited for several days, and finally checked the information, Li Zicheng did not leave any descendants, and he also found more than a dozen people who claimed to be descendants of Li Zicheng.
Forget it, it's all fake.
When my grandfather was young, he was wandering outside, and he gave birth to a son and a daughter, and he didn't learn boxing with him, and later returned to Sweet City and set up a martial arts gym, but still no one came to practice martial arts.
At that time, I couldn't afford to eat, who practiced martial arts.
He has an outdated concept, patriarchal, when his uncle gave birth to his daughter, he was angry for a month and didn't give his aunt a good look, and then Ye Kai was born, and he was the only person in the three generations who could inherit his mantle, so you can imagine how favored Ye Kai was at that time.
When Ye Kai was seven years old, he was still learning martial arts with his grandfather, but a car accident directly took the life of the old man, and no one taught him, so Ye Kai naturally stopped practicing boxing.
At this time, the two families have begun to start a business, my uncle is making drinks, and opened a small company called Leju, and the product business scope is only around Sweet City, and no one knows about Sweet City.
Li Meili and Ye Xiuqiang made peanut candy and did a good job for more than ten years, but an earthquake wiped everything out.
Ye Kai cleaned up the back kitchen, feeling that there was someone behind him, and when he turned around, it was his uncle standing at the door, looking at Ye Kai with eyes full of relief.
"Uncle. Ye Kai shouted.
"Hmm. Li Dashan nodded and said, "Your parents told me just now, stinky boy, it's good." ”
It is estimated that he is talking about writing books, Ye Kai smiled embarrassedly, in their family concept, pure cultural people are to be despised, and when the family gatherings are indispensable, it is indispensable to criticize the brick family and call the beast.
Li Dashan looked outside and whispered: "Your parents are still young, don't let them be idle, you are still young and don't know, what you are most afraid of when you are old is that you have nothing to do." ”
He patted Ye Kai's arm and was surprised: "Huh, why do I feel that you have grown taller again?" Forget it, you remember what I said, but don't ask for this shop, it hurts your body. ”
Li Dashan was passing by here to see if his sister was not there, chatting, but he didn't expect Ye Kai to come back, so he proposed that the two families have a meal in the evening and contact their feelings.
It should also be, when I was a child, the two families lived very close to each other and often came and went, Ye Kai and his cousin had the same relationship as their own sister and brother, and I hadn't seen Sister Ping for a year.
Ye Kai continued to sort out his travelogue.
Whether or not you have inspiration when you create it makes a big difference.
But now the talent is gradually rising, the memory and logical ability have been greatly improved, and there is no need to worry about writing. If you have a flash of inspiration, your writing state at that time is no weaker than when you have an inspiration bonus.
In the afternoon, I received a call from the singer and Zhang Zi, and I was going to Hu Nan in a few days to have the first rehearsal, and I had to set the song to be sung at that time.
Parents don't know that Ye Kai has written a song, and the singers of this season will broadcast the finals live at the end of the month, and they will surprise their parents when the time comes.
The evening party was in the hotel not far from the barbecue restaurant.
Due to the Wanda Plaza, this area has been a central area in recent years, and many good restaurants and hotels have been built, but there are many family gatherings, so it is better to have a large round table hotel.
When I walked all the way with my parents, I saw Sister Ping holding the child in the distance, and she was standing at the door of the hotel waiting for them.
Sister Ping's big name is Li Liping, with big eyes and a small nose bridge, and an authentic Sichuan and Shu beauty. is 1.72 meters tall, and it is estimated that he has inherited his grandfather's tall genes, and there is no one in this family who is less than 1.7 meters tall.
My aunt doesn't count, my aunt is about 1.6 meters.
"Sister!" Ye Kai shouted happily.
"Have you grown taller?" Li Liping said in surprise.
Boys who have passed the age of 20 rarely grow taller, and their net height has risen by two centimeters, reaching 1.8 meters, and the soles of the shoes he wears now are relatively high, and it seems that his height has risen a lot.
My sister took Ye Kai to find a private room, where my uncle and brother-in-law sat together and drank. The brother-in-law's name is Zhou Jun, and he works as a lobby manager in a 4S store, and Ye Kai's car was bought in their store.
"When they come, I'll tell them to serve the food. Li Dashan pressed the call button and asked the waiter to bring the food up.
Since the dish is not served, let's drink first.
Uncle smiled heartily, asked his brother-in-law to pour Ye Kai a glass of wine, and said: "Your grandfather hated literati the most when he was alive, but he didn't expect that his favorite little grandson would embark on the road of literature, Xiao Kai, you should pay tribute to your grandfather first." ”
Ye Kai took a long time to drink this glass of wine, and just came up after drinking a cup of food, Ye Kai breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was clever and drank slowly, otherwise he would definitely have to drink a second cup.
He likes to drink, but the amount of alcohol is really not good, so he picked up the pot with rice, and Ye Kai prepared to eat it.
"Don't rush to eat. Li Liping said.
"What's wrong? I can't drink enough, don't try to get me drunk. Ye Kai said vigilantly.
They are all members of their own family, and they speak very casually, but Ye Kai doesn't dare to say so directly outside.
Li Liping smiled like a flower and asked: "You sang a song on Weibo a few days ago, who is the Irish girl who likes our Chinese people?"
