70s: Raising a Baby

   Chapter 196

  In the morning, the first ray of sunlight from outside shone through the curtains on the head of the children's bed, and the sleeping man turned over and raised an arm to cover his eyes.

   Five minutes later, there was no one on the bed, and the messy quilt was folded neatly.

   "Crack." The door of the bathroom was opened, and the person who came out was still wearing water droplets on his face.

   "Dong dong, dong dong, I got up, we will gather downstairs in ten minutes." There was a knock on the door, and the sound of "Xixi Susuo" came from the previously closed room.

   "Master Ah Zhao is up." It was the nanny of Zhou Guocheng's family who spoke.

   "Aunt Liu, good morning," Ah Zhao greeted when he arrived, frowned and looked around for a week in the living room, "Aunt Liu, Grandpa Zhou didn't come back last night?"

Aunt Liu, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the question, holding a cup of warm water in her hand, and said as she walked, "I didn't come back, and I don't know what caused me to not come back overnight. Mr. Zhou is not young anymore. Come on, drink the water. ."

   "Thank you, Aunt Liu." Ah Zhao took the water glass and raised her head, the glass of water was gone.

   Looking at the alarm clock on the wall, Ah Zhao walked over to the phone, picked up the phone, and dialed a number without hesitation.

   "Hello, this is."

   "Help me answer the call from Minister Zhou's office."

   The person on the other end of the phone hesitated and wanted to ask his identity, but found that the number was Minister Zhou's phone number, "Okay, wait a moment."

   "Is that A Zhao?"

   "Why are you Uncle Yan?" Ah Zhao did not wait for him to answer, and asked, "Is Grandpa Zhou still in the office?"

  Secretary Yan looked at the situation in the office through the glass door and whispered, "Mr. Zhou is in the office, you can rest assured that I will take good care of Mr. Zhou."

  A Zhao heard his tone and guessed that there might be someone in the office, so he didn't say much, he cared about how Grandpa Zhou was doing, and hung up.

   "Brother." A Xu also went downstairs with his three younger brothers.

   "Drink the water." Ah Zhao pointed to the four glasses of water placed on the table.

  This is different from their compound. There are almost no people in the playground in the morning, and many people have not woken up at this time.

   At the beginning, I was not used to it. There was no wake-up number that they were familiar with, and there was no familiar slogan on the playground. Everywhere was empty, and there were no more than ten people in the morning exercise.

   But now it's different from when they first came. People on the playground are gradually hiding. Most of them are children of the same grade as them, and some retired old people. In short, it's more lively than before.

   "Warm up first, and start practicing at your own pace." Ah Zhao led a few younger brothers to warm up first, and then arranged for them to train on their own.

   The progress of several children is different. A Zhao is the fastest, followed by A Xu and A Hao, and finally Ayan and Niuniu. Even though Ayan has practiced longer than Niuniu, he is always rude.

   But even so, Ayan and the others are better than many people on the playground.

Facing the dawn, a new day begins with the footsteps of several children. The rhythmic footsteps sound slowly in my ears. The people who were originally in front were quickly overtaken, and the sweat on their heads slowly spread. forehead.

   When the sun above his head hangs high, his face is fully revealed, the footsteps of several children slowly slow down, the sound of breathing with panting also gradually slows down, and the sweat on his body has already soaked his clothes.

   "Crack," Cheng An passed by A Zhao's side and snapped his fingers crisply, "Let's go." He strode forward without looking back.

   Several children were too tired to walk, especially Ayan, who hung on Niuniu's body, "I can't walk anymore, you pull me away." He was the only one who was so shameless and righteous.

   Niuniu is not much better than him. Being hung up by him like this, his already heavy footsteps are even more difficult to move, and he falls far behind his three brothers.

   After such a delay, by the time they got home, the three brothers had already gone upstairs to take a bath.

   "You are not waiting for me!" After taking a shower and going downstairs, Ayan saw that they were already sitting at the dining table and had breakfast, and without waiting for them, he pouted and complained.

  Axu held a dough stick in his mouth, his peach blossom eyes rose slightly, and glanced at him, "Wait for you, we will starve to death."

   "Humph." Ayan ignored him and ran to the dining table to pick up a bun and start eating, starving to death.

   For a while, there was no sound at the table, only the sound of the tableware colliding, and everyone focused on eating breakfast.

   When the food was almost finished, Ah Hao was drinking porridge, his eyes kept looking in Ah Zhao's direction, as if he wanted to talk but didn't dare.

   Such a burning gaze was naturally felt by Ah Zhao, but he looked like he was concentrating on eating breakfast, as if he didn't notice Ah Hao's gaze.

   Ah Hao looked at his brother and ignored him, then turned his eyes to Axu, looking for help, Axu glanced at him and winked at him.

  Speak quickly, willing to admit defeat.

   Ah Hao had a sad face. He lost their game yesterday, so Ah Xu asked him and Ah Zhaoti to take them out to play today.

  I dare not, what if he doesn't agree.

  You didn't say anything, how do you know that my brother would not agree.

   "Brother Ah Hao, what's wrong with your eyes, are you having cramps?" As soon as A Yan looked up, he found that the eyes of Ah Hao on the opposite side were strange, and asked innocently.

   "Your eyes are cramping."

   Ah Hao looked at death as if at home, turned his head and said to Ah Zhao who was beside him, "Brother, are you taking Niuniu to the hospital today?"

  A Zhao raised his eyes and glanced at him, his eyes seemed to say, is there something wrong with your brain? Not knowingly.

   "I want to go too." They hadn't gone out to play for a long time. They hadn't gone out to play since Mom had been away on business for so long. He was going to suffocate to death.

   "Okay." Ah Zhao nodded eloquently.

   Ah Hao's eyes widened in disbelief, thinking he heard it wrong, "Brother, did you agree?"

   "You can go, you pay."

   knew that it wasn't so easy, Ah Hao had a bitter face, he wanted to go out to play, but he also felt sorry for his wallet.

Niuniu next to    looked at his eldest brother, thoughtfully, and secretly held Ayan who was about to speak, to prevent him from speaking.

   "Okay, I promise." Forced by A Xu's threat and a heart to go out to play, A Hao reluctantly agreed.

  After dinner, several children went upstairs to pack up and prepare to go out later.

   When he got to the room for a while, Ayan couldn't bear it any longer. He pulled Niuniu and asked, "Why didn't you let me talk just now, obviously we are all going there."

   "Isn't someone paying?" Niu Niu ignored him and sat down at the desk to play the Rubik's cube.

   "There is no payment in our punishment. I will not pay." Ah Hao collapsed on the bed and took a pillow in his hand, looking like he was unlovable.

  Axu said indifferently, "Don't worry, you don't have to pay. Uncle will pick us up later, they will definitely not let us pay."

   "Yes." Ah Hao immediately sat up and regained his energy.

   "Azhao, wait for me at the door in twenty minutes."

   "I know uncle."

  It is very troublesome to get in and out of the compound, so they simply meet at the door.

   Time is almost up, Ah Zhao called back his younger brothers who were studying the new toys that were delivered yesterday, "Uncle is about to arrive, you guys pack up, we'll go out and wait."

   "Immediately." After a swipe of smoke, the children heard that they could go out, and the speed was astonishing.

   All the way to the car, the children were still very excited, and even Ah Zhao was obviously relaxed.

   With the windows open, the weather in the morning was not that hot. As the car started, the wind was blowing outside the window, and everyone's hair was messed up.

   But obviously, this wind is very popular with everyone, if they can't stick their heads out, they all want to stick their heads out to blow a bigger wind.

   There are few cars on the road now, and there is no such thing as dust when the windows are opened in the future, and it is uncomfortable to breathe.

   "Wow——" Ayan put his hands in a trumpet shape to his mouth and shouted outside.

   The driver was Xiao Ba. Seeing them so excited, he couldn't help asking, "So happy."

   "Of course, I haven't been out to play for a long time, either at school or at home, and the weather is so hot." Ah Hao complained.

  Xiao Ba felt a little guilty, they all ignored this, they would have arranged if the eldest brother or the four were there before, and they all forgot about this.

   "Uncle Little Eight, when will my mother come back? It's been so long, I've never been there before."

   This stumped him, and he didn't know it, eldest brother and the others rarely called back, and there were only a few of them at home.

   "I don't know about this either." Xiaoba scratched his head, looked at the worried eyes of several children, and comforted, "Maybe you are stumped by something, don't worry, big brother, they are all here."

   Ye Jinzhi, who was remembered by them, was really stumped by things at this time. He originally planned to go back today, but suddenly received news that their things were plagiarized.

  Although Ye’s business covers a wide range, almost every field in the market is mixed, but Ye’s main industry is jewelry.

  Because the company was depressed for a period of time in those years, the jewelry piece was also affected more or less, but the word of mouth is still very good in the industry, and there has never been a claim of plagiarism.

When Ye Jinzhi took over, although he had spent a lot of money and energy on other projects, the company's main business was always jewelry, and the sales in recent years were also gradually increasing, and they were all on the bright side. Thought this would happen suddenly.

   "Is the item on sale?" Ye Jinzhi was wearing a professional suit and high heels, but it didn't affect her walking speed at all.

   "Not yet. The original plan was to release it at the end of this month, but the other party started to release it yesterday."

   "Then stop, call all relevant personnel to the conference room, and meet in half an hour." Ye Jinzhi's face was cold, and his tone did not fluctuate at all.

   But that's it, the man beside him couldn't say what he was nervous about, and he kept wiping the sweat off his head with a tissue.

   "Yes, I'll go now." The man left in a hurry with footsteps that didn't match his figure, and soon disappeared in front of his eyes.

   "Miss, let's go eat something first." The man was a little worried.

   Ye Jinzhi hasn't rested since the morning until now, he hasn't eaten a single bite, and his face is not very good-looking.

   "Miss, look what you want to eat, I bought a copy of what they have in the store." Xiao Wu hurried over with a large bag of things.

   Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Ye Jinzhi's originally tense face softened a lot, "Why are you buying so much?"

   "Isn't everyone eating this? Hurry up, it's still hot, I let the boss warm it up, eat it quickly, and soy milk."

   Ye Jinzhi looked at the time, still had plenty of time, "Find a place to pad your stomach first."

  I had been hungry for so long that I could no longer feel it. Ye Jinzhi took a sip of warm soy milk and relaxed a lot from the tense mood just now.

   During the process of eating, the third child glanced at Ye Jinzhi from time to time, his mouth moved and then stopped, and he buried his head to eat.

   The fourth brother sitting next to him was speechless, winked at him, he didn't notice it, looked at him and looked up again, I couldn't help it, and the arm bumped against him.

   The third child still didn't notice it, thought it was too crowded, moved to the side, and continued to repeat the previous action.

   "Ask what you want to ask." Even if he wanted to ignore this sight, Ye Jinzhi was simply conquered by his acting skills.

   The third child was stunned when he heard Ye Jinzhi's words, looked left and right, thinking he was not talking to himself.

   "It's you." The fourth child couldn't see, how could there be such a stupid person.

   I found out that it was my third child who didn’t react, and I couldn’t figure out how I was discovered.

   "Miss, what if this is true?" The third child asked cautiously.

   "Then make it fake." Ye Jinzhi said that his words were casual, but his eyes showed ruthlessness. Ye's family did not allow this scandal at this critical period.

   "It can't be true if it doesn't come, it must be framed by someone." Someone said dissatisfied.

  Whether it's true or not, or if someone did it on purpose, Ye Jinzhi wouldn't let it go easily.

   When everyone had almost eaten, Ye Jinzhi got up, "It's almost time, let's go."

   By the time Ye Jinzhi arrived, everyone in the conference room had already arrived, everyone's faces were not very good, and the atmosphere was solemn.

  There is such a thing at this time, whether it is true or not, it is conveying a message to the headquarters that their management has a problem.

   "Dengdengdeng——" The sound of high heels reached everyone's ears, and everyone sat upright involuntarily, their eyes fixed on the door.

  At the same time, Ah Zhao and the others also arrived at the hospital, and the group got off the bus, which attracted the attention of many people.

   "You guys are waiting for us downstairs, I'll bring Niuniu up." Ah Zhao didn't wait for them to speak, and walked into the hospital gate with Niuniu.

   "Let's wait here." Axu found a place where the sun could not shine and could see the door and sat down.

   "Don't be afraid, I'll wait for you outside." Ah Zhao rubbed Niuniu's hair.

   Niu Niu raised his head and looked at Ah Zhao, he was a little nervous and relaxed when he saw Ah Zhao's eyes.

   "Boom, boom."

   "Please come in."

Before    opened the door, Niu Niu looked back at Ah Zhao.

   "Go, I'll wait for you here, and I won't go anywhere." Ah Zhao waved at him.
