Chapter 1004 It’s still those people and things, not those things
"Ding ding!"
"Um?"
"Brother, are you there?"
At five o'clock in the morning, Ji Dongqing was concentrating on reading a book. An Yanfei's WeChat message came over. Ji Dongqing was confused, why did the other party send him a WeChat message so early?
"Yes, why did you get up so early?"
"Gee, brother, please reply in a second. Is it because you haven't slept? I heard from Sister Xiaobai that you have returned to China. Come out to have a gathering today. I'll contact Brother Liu Ming. We haven't had a gathering in a long time! Just in time.
Isn’t your sister-in-law going to have a baby? Please relax!"
An Yanfei sent a voice message. Ji Dongqing put on his earphones. When he heard An Yanfei's voice, Ji Dongqing shook his head. He thought that the little girl was getting more and more weird. Maybe he had something to tell her and it was inconvenient to talk on the phone.
.
"Okay, you choose a place and time, and your sister-in-law and I will take a leave! We can't spend a few days with you every year, so try to go as early as possible and come back early!"
Glancing in the direction of the bedroom, Ji Dongqing's eyes were full of satisfaction.
In the irritable world of right and wrong, there are fewer and fewer outstanding girls like Xiaobai...
Young people whose minds are filled with the plots of youth idol dramas can rarely understand the hardships of men's struggle, coupled with the "fist" that some people deliberately spread.
I am very satisfied to be able to marry my sweetheart Ji Dongqing, and I feel even more lucky to have met a good mother-in-law.
Faced with the fact that he was away from home all year round, not only did he not complain, but he also helped himself to comfort Xiaobai. Ji Dongqing felt that he had cultivated in three lifetimes.
"Gee, I'm afraid of my wife, why haven't I noticed it before? It's just downstairs at Brother Liu Ming's house. I forgot to tell you that Brother Liu Ming has moved, near the University of Technology! My son has gone to school, aren't you envious?
"
An Yanfei joked a few words and started to prepare.
I picked out a set of sportswear for Sun Li, brought a bottle of wine given by others, snacks for Amy, and things for Liu Ming's family.
"Husband, try not to be so anxious to talk about things. This guy is very sensitive! He really makes us talk about stuff every time we meet. In the future, he might stop hanging out with us. He doesn't have any contact with us.
What is it about our family!"
While sorting her husband's clothes, An Yanfei reminded her that Sun Li had taken the opportunity of gatherings to assign tasks to Ji Dongqing these few times. Although Ji Dongqing didn't say anything, An Yanfei could still feel that Ji Dongqing didn't like him very much.
In the past two years, Ji Dongqing's contact with Liu Ming has been less, and An Yanfei's contact has been even less.
You must know that when Ji Dongqing first started working, he would definitely get together with Liu Ming's family whenever he passed by Harbin.
Since An Yanfei got married here, Ji Dongqing has hardly been together with Liu Ming's family. After thinking about it carefully, the problems here are obvious. An Yanfei does not want to lose Ji Dongqing as a relative.
With Ji Dongqing, an out-of-reach relative, she definitely has a status in Sun Li's family. Without Ji Dongqing, she is just a little girl from the countryside, an intellectual rural woman who clings to the powerful.
"Yeah, I got it! What my dear wife is teaching me is that this time I will try my best to make my brother drink too much before talking..."
"Just you? My mother, do you know how much my brother can drink? Brother Liu Ming once described to me that so many people were drunk in front of him. Do you really think you are Du Kang alive?
Maybe you drank too much before you said anything, ugh..."
Hearing Sun Li say that he could make Ji Dongqing drink too much, An Yanfei covered her forehead, thinking that she was really big-hearted.
Ji Dongqing set off an hour in advance, and Xiaobai prepared a bunch of gifts for Ji Dongqing.
The gifts from Liu Ming, Zou Lili, An Yanfei, Sun Li, and the children of the two families were sorted into different categories. Ji Dongqing was worried that he would not be able to remember and wrote down their names.
Liu Ming and Zou Lili's home was not difficult to find, but the place was a bit narrow and there were several one-way streets in front of it. Ji Dongqing finally parked the car at a suitable location on the roadside.
The surrounding buildings are still supported by scaffolding, and the exterior walls of large areas of buildings are undergoing renovation, aluminum silicate board insulation layers are being replaced, and sewer construction is under way.
There was a large pile of temporary thread hanging in the corner, and Ji Dongqing lowered his head and got in from the corridor.
"Dongqing, here you are!"
"okay!"
Upstairs, Liu Ming's head leaked out from the stairs. Since there was no elevator, Ji Dongqing went directly to the fifth floor.
With a structure of two bedrooms and one living room, Liu Ming's house is not spacious, but it is very cozy.
What made Ji Dongqing miss it was that the smart homes used by Liu Ming and Zou Lili were both from Xiaomi.
"Why isn't it from our company? How does this make me feel embarrassed? Our company produces these things, my dear, but you are using someone else's?"
Handing the gift to Zou Lili, Ji Dongqing carefully inspected Xiaomi's products.
From Bluetooth speakers, smart TVs, mobile phones, lighting systems... covering almost every part of life, Ji Dongqing had to admire the power of Xiaomi's ecosystem.
Although our own company is also involved in these things, it is not as comprehensive as Xiaomi. Now Xiaomi has entered the home furnishing market and its coverage is getting wider and wider.
"Come on, Liu Ming and his company got this by lottery during the Chinese New Year last year. Liu Ming won the first place right away. We bought two more items and it was complete! I didn't use a few items from your company before, but later
Liu Ming said that if we use millet, we will all use millet. The few things from your company are taken home for parents to use. The old man will show off to whomever he sees. They are produced by our relatives. They are awesome..."
Zou Lili served fruits and told Ji Dongqing various stories about life. Ji Dongqing didn't show up, took off her shoes and walked back and forth on the tatami.
In the past two years, Liu Ming has gained a whole lot of weight, but Zou Lili is still so thin. Ji Dongqing was worried that Liu Ming would crush Zou Lili when she flirted with him.
To Ji Dongqing's surprise, Liu Ming's father left.
"when?"
"Years ago, there was nothing we could do about late-stage pancreatic cancer. We didn't tell you when you were abroad. This is not a good thing. It's taboo for business people. We didn't let you know when you were not here!"
I met Liu Ming's father, Ji Dongqing, and he was a fellow ironworker with Ji Dongqing.
The doors and ironwork of many houses in the surrounding countryside were made by elderly people. Since Liu Ming and his wife made money, Liu Ming's father's burden has become lighter.
In the past, Liu Ming was the kind of person who could spend money. Although his spending was not as lavish as the rich second generation, it was still not low for a rural family.
Unexpectedly, it had only been more than ten years since graduation, and the old man passed away not long after enjoying the blessing. Ji Dongqing directly made up for the gift, and for a long time he didn't know what to say.
"Brother, give me a hug..."
"Hey, Yan Fei, your flesh has swollen to your bones, oh my god!"
An Yanfei happened to arrive and gave Ji Dongqing a hug when they met, making Ji Dongqing stagger.
"Brother, you said that I..."
"Give you a gift!"
"That's pretty much it!"
"Bah!"
An Yanfei kissed Ji Dongqing on the face, which made Ji Dongqing quickly wipe it in the mirror. When he got home, Xiaobai couldn't rub the sand into his eyes.
