"It's hard to find someone quiet? Jingrui, you're just trying to be picky," Xia Zekai teased him.

Xia Jingrui curled his lips: "Uncle Kai, go to the school and see, it's really not like that."

"What was that like?" It has been almost 20 years since Xia Zekai graduated. Time has changed and the years have passed. He also admitted that times are different.

Xia Jingrui said: "Many female students in our school spend all day playing Douyin, making videos, making up all kinds of jokes, or doing live broadcasts. They really want to be famous and go crazy."

This was not over yet, he continued: "There are still some good people left, but they have been led astray by these people."

Hearing what his nephew said, Xia Zekai said "Oh" and then said: "There are still people who can wake up from the troubled times."

"Yes, but people don't like me." Xia Jingrui said this suddenly.

The family suddenly couldn't hold it any longer.

Tongtong laughed the loudest.

Qingyu, Chenchen and Jingling, the three siblings also burst into laughter.

"Brother Rui, you might as well just say it." Jing Ling said mischievously.

He asked: "Did you chase a beautiful sister and got dumped?"

Xia Jingrui glanced at him: "The world is deteriorating and people's hearts are not as old as before. Even a brat like you is laughing at my brother."

"No way, Brother Rui, otherwise I will introduce you to the little girl in our class." Jing Ling is really bold and dares to say anything.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Tongtong, who was next to him, turned around and kicked him on the butt. He staggered forward a few steps and almost fell down.

"Jing Ling, if you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I will beat you up hard." Tongtong said to him.

Even Xia Zekai became serious, his eyes narrowed to a slit, and he looked at his son: "My youngest, if you dare to do something outrageous, I will punish you first."

Although he, Xia Zekai, does some things in an unethical manner, he still has a bottom line in human nature and will never do anything underhanded.

The youngest seemed to be joking just now, but who can tell clearly what he was thinking.

After being kicked by his sister, the youngest felt his butt hurt quite a bit.

But when he heard what his father said, he was even more frightened: "Dad, I didn't! I was just saying it for fun!"

"Well, no, that's fine." Xia Zekai didn't say much.

He was thinking of telling Wang Yi and the others to keep an eye on him later and not let the youngest get sidetracked.

Bring all the fruit snacks over and let your nephew and niece eat slowly first.

Xia Zekai also asked them what they wanted to eat for lunch, and said that their father would come over to play in a while.

"Uncle Kai, my roommate was browsing Douyin yesterday and came across your video. He said that you went to a poor area some time ago and you want to do some vegetable and fruit processing projects, right?"

“Are you on Douyin?”

"It seems to be the official account of CCTV. It was created by my roommate." She said, "I don't usually play Douyin, so I really don't know it very well."

"You said you also want to purchase unsalable vegetables and fruits in large quantities, right?"

Xia Zekai was originally thinking about asking Lao Liang to arrange for people to remove all the videos related to him, but when he heard his niece talking about this, he paused and then said: "It's not a big deal, let's hang up for now.

Come on."

Luo Xiyun glanced at her husband and didn't bother to clarify.

She also lamented in her heart that sometimes it was so difficult to do something.

…

At noon, Jiang Ningning, Ren Ping and the others helped, and Luo Xiyun went to the kitchen to cook a table of home-cooked meals.

Jing Ling also said exaggeratedly: "Brother Jingrui and sister Yuxi are so proud that my mother hasn't cooked for a long time."

"Even delicious food can't stop your mouth." Luo Xiyun gave him a piece of meat, and the boy quickly lowered his head and took the rice into his mouth.

The family gathers together, chatting and laughing, and chatting about their own interesting stories, and it feels like time flies by very quickly.

The eldest niece Xia Yuxi and the eldest nephew Xia Jingrui have rested for the past two days. After eating, Xia Zekai said to them: "Don't go back today. Let's go out for a while in the afternoon, go find some specialties in the evening, and then go back to school tomorrow."

It’s not too late either.”

"Uncle Kai..."

Just as Xia Jingrui was about to speak, Xia Zekai asked him, "What's wrong? Do you have a date tonight?"

"No, I don't even have a date, how can I date you?" Xia Jingrui said.

He didn't mention leaving either.

Still climbing up the pole: "Uncle Kai, look at me, I'm 20 years old and I don't have a girlfriend yet. It's quite pitiful. Otherwise, you can introduce me to someone."

"..."

Xia Zekai looked at his nephew, thinking how useless you are.

"All the ladies in my company are in their thirties or forties."

"Then forget it, I'll look for it myself!" Xia Jingrui immediately gave up the idea.

In the afternoon, a group of children couldn't stay at home and wanted to take him out to play.

Xia Zekai also wanted to go out for a walk, so the whole family went out as soon as possible.

The weather in March has just gone from cold to warm, which is the most comfortable time.

The clothes on my body are no longer bulky in winter. They are thin and light, and the breeze blows, making me feel indescribably relaxed.

There are boaters in Shichahai next to it.

After Qingyu and Chenchen saw it, they remembered how it was so fun when their sister took them rowing a few days ago.

Qingyu said: "Dad, how about our family buy a boat."

"What ship?" Xia Zekai asked her.

Qingyu pointed to the battery boats, pedal boats and paddle boats floating on the water in Houhai and said, "That's just the kind. Dad, don't you think it's fun?"

Just because it's fun, it doesn't mean it's pretty.

Xia Zekai followed his daughter's gaze and looked over, his doting eyes finally falling on Qingyu, and asked her: "Do you like rowing?"

"Yeah, I really like it!" Qingyu suddenly took his hand and said, "Dad, let's go ride on that kind of boat."

"Let's go to the pier in front." Xia Zekai held Lao San's little hand and led her towards the pier.

On the way, Chenchen suddenly remembered something: "Sister, we forgot to go to the pottery studio to pick up the finished products."

"Oh, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about it. When I come back later, I will stop by and pick it up." Tongtong said, "You must not cheapen the pottery museum."

"Yeah!" Chenchen responded. At this moment, he looked like his sister's lackey.

Luo Xiyun didn't know what was going on, so she asked them, and then she knew what Yatou and Tongtong, the two sisters, had done when they were away.

About half an hour later, several battery boats and pedal boats drifted out from the Haomeng Jiangnan Pier.

In fact, there is a large water transport boat that is more suitable for them, which can carry 16 people at a time, but a few little guys are not willing to sit on it, thinking that they cannot appreciate the fun of rowing at all.

Xia Zekai also listened to them.

Separate the girl, Tongtong, nephew, and niece to save labor.

After Xia Zekai got on board, he also stepped on the pedals inside the boat.

Luo Xiyun bent down and turned sideways to pick up a handful of water from the water, but before he could lift it up, the running water fell into the Shichahai Sea again along the seams between his fingers.

Qingyu, Chenchen, Jingling, and even Yuxi and Jingrui were also very happy and felt that they had not been so relaxed for a long time.

When exactly did it disappear?

Long forgotten!

They have been pinning the hopes of their elders and studying hard for exams so that they can have a better future.

These pressures are placed on them invisibly, and excessive expectations have become their pressure.

I went out to play with Uncle Kai today. Uncle Kai was very casual and free, which made them feel this carefree feeling. The pressure in Xia Jingrui and Xia Yuxi's hearts gradually became much less, and they even felt

An invisible trend.

"Uncle Kai, I'm very happy today." Xia Yuxi shouted to Xia Zekai from another boat.

Xia Yuxi, who is about to turn 23, seems to have figured out some things, and her face is indeed much more relaxed.

Hearing what his niece said, Xia Zekai looked at her in surprise and smiled: "Yuxi, come on!"

"Well, don't worry, Uncle Kai, I will do it." Xia Yuxi said.

Uncle Kai called his hometown in the morning, and Sister Tongtong later told her who the call was for.

She didn't expect that Uncle Kai would personally call a provincial deputy for such a trivial matter regarding her work.

She was thinking at this moment: "I must do better when I go back, and I must not embarrass Uncle Kai."

"Dad, let's go over there and play." Qingyu, who was also on the same boat, pointed forward and said.

There is a relatively narrow river channel over there, and many boats are heading that way.
