Chapter 1443 Death Anniversary
2016, winter.
Zhou Zhou’s fifth death anniversary.
The friends formed a tacit understanding unconsciously and came to the Summit Apartment on this day every year to gather together and pay homage to Zhou Zhou.
Adults, children, men and women stood in front of Zhou Zhou's grave with solemn expressions.
Zhang Xiaobai said softly: "Don't worry, everyone is fine!"
Three bows.
The memorial ceremony is completed.
…
…
When we got back to the apartment, we all played our own games.
The men played games to keep fit, the women played mahjong and sang, and the children did not cling to the adults and made all kinds of troubles under Zhang Suxin's command.
Niu One Niu Two Zhao Tianhao and others were in the gym. On the ring, Zhang Xiaobai and Liu Tieying were sparring with boxing gloves.
Liu Tieying is almost the same as Niu Er. In the past, Zhang Xiaobai was no match at all, but after several years of study and training, and the improvement in physical fitness after quitting smoking, he was able to give it a try.
But in the end, Zhang Xiaobai was no match for Liu Tieying and was knocked down with one punch.
Everyone seemed to be very happy and cheered in unison.
Zhang Xiaobai glared at them angrily, jumped off the ring and sat in the rest area.
While Liu Tieying was giggling, Cheng Shifei jumped up and he was immediately dumbfounded.
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and looked back at Niu Yi, "Brother Yi, there is no news about Wu Xin yet?"
Niu Yi shook his head and said, "No, it's as if the world has evaporated."
In the past two years, we occasionally talked on the phone because the two were considered friends during the martial arts competition. Wu Xin once passed by Tangcheng and came to see Niu Yi, but he did not come to the Summit Apartment and just had a meal and chatted casually.
There has been no news at all in the past two years. Not only can I not get through on the phone, I have stopped playing martial arts games.
After a question and an answer, the two of them only said a few words, and Liu Tieying on the stage lay on the ground.
Zhang Xiaobai clapped his hands vigorously and shouted "Hello".
Brother No. 1 looked at his watch and said, "Let's go, it will be too late!"
Zhang Xiaobai sighed and said, "Let's go, I really can't afford to offend him!"
After speaking, Zhang Xiaobai picked up his phone and sent a message to the WeChat group of male compatriots.
"Stop playing around, it's time to cook, otherwise they will show off their power!"
It's like this every time, the women are responsible for eating, drinking and having fun, and the men are waiting for them to eat, drink and have fun.
Where can I go to reason?
The meal is very simple, just make dumplings and prepare a few dishes, and the work will be done after a while.
The most well-behaved person is Zhang Xiaobai's daughter Zhang Sunuo. This name was given by Su Tong, but it is much better than the boss's name. It means a promise means a thousand gold.
Little Sunuo doesn't play with the children, but follows his father to make dumplings and do odd jobs, and he does it well.
Zhang Xiaobai rubbed his daughter's little head and said with a smile, "I'm asking for dinner!"
Little Sunuo ran out in a hurry, and went outside to look for his brothers and sisters first. The children were having fun, and little Sunuo said, "Brother, it's time to eat!"
Usually children who are interested in playing have a hard time screaming, but after little Su Nuo said a word, Zhang Suxin led the children directly to the restaurant.
Little Sunuo went to the mahjong room to practice singing, "Aunts, it's time to eat!"
One sentence will do the trick.
Fortunately, it was well designed at the time and the restaurant was large enough, otherwise it would not have been able to accommodate so many people.
Three big tables, people seated.
Su Tong sat on Zhang Xiaobai's left hand, but his right hand was vacant. There was a pair of bowls, chopsticks and a cup on the table.
Zhang Xiaobai picked up the cup and said: "As usual, the first cup is dedicated to Zhou Zhou!"
Zhang Xiaobai spilled the cup of water next to him on the ground, drank his own cup, and everyone followed.
…
…
After dinner, everyone went about their own business. Some people were chatting in the living room while others went out to play.
Li Xianglong and Du Mengni drank tea and talked happily.
Zhang Xiaobai glanced at the two of them and said, "That's enough for you two. You're an old married couple, and you're still so tired."
Other couples come here separately, men play with men, women play with women, but these two couples are inseparable. The most annoying thing is Li Xianglong, who neither plays games nor works out. He plays mahjong with Du Mengni, and he doesn’t even have sex. He was watching from behind her. He was the only man among the three mahjong tables in the chess and card room.
Li Xianglong and Du Mengni looked at Zhang Xiaobai at the same time and said in unison: "Do you care?"
Yes, there is a real connection between them.
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and asked, "Are you really not ready to have children?"
After so many years of marriage, the two never had children. Zhang Xiaobai once thought that someone had some health problem, but later he asked Li Xianglong and found out that he didn't want them on purpose.
Li Xianglong said: "Why do you want a child? It's not too noisy."
Zhang Xiaobai's eyes fell on Du Mengni's face and asked: "Mengni, is this what you mean?"
Du Mengni said: "That's what I meant, but he also agreed!"
Zhang Xiaobai said angrily: "Nonsense, he loves you so much, why don't you say anything?"
Li Xianglong defended: "Even if my wife doesn't say anything, I don't want it. Don't talk nonsense!"
Zhang Xiaobai rolled his eyes, "Are you sick?"
This time, Du Mengni actually didn't criticize Zhang Xiaobai and said, "This is good. Just like my sister-in-law and others, we don't have to worry about anything in the future. When we get old, we can travel around."
Li Xianglong nodded, "That's a beautiful life!"
Zhang Xiaobai said: "Mengni, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. What you are doing is too small."
In fact, including Li Xianglong and the Du family, anyone who knows her knows what she thinks, which is that she no longer wants to be involved in the inheritance of the Du family.
Du Mengni said softly: "On the one hand, I really don't like children."
Zhang Xiaobai continued to persuade, "You will like it when you have children."
Du Mengni smiled and said: "Forget it, don't try to persuade me, my mother's words made me feel calloused!"
Zhang Xiaobai sighed softly and said: "Okay, no matter what, I hope you two are well, as long as I have no objection to Brother Xiang Long."
Li Xianglong changed the topic and asked, "How is Dengfeng Steel doing now?"
Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "You have to ask my little sister about this, she knows best."
Bao Xiaomei and Wang Chenggong were also in the living room. The couple had not seen each other for a long time and were talking to each other. Their level of boredom was not much worse than that couple.
When she heard that she was called, Bao Xiaomei smiled and said: "Okay, that's great. The steel industry has stabilized in the past few years, and the development of Dengfeng Steel has made a lot of money."
Tang Jing gave birth to another son to Niu Yisheng, and now she is basically focusing on her family. Although her younger sister is still the so-called secretary to the general manager, she only keeps her word at Dengfeng Steel.
No one has any objection to saying she is the number one person.
Li Xianglong asked: "After all, this industry is at the expense of resources. Although it is making money now, it does not rule out the possibility of being suppressed."
This kind of thing did happen before, and Li Xianglong gave it a heads up.
Zhang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "Brother Xiang Long, what you said is wrong. Recently I heard a new view, which makes sense."
Li Xianglong asked: "What do you think?"
Zhang Xiaobai asked: "Do you know the steel stock per capita?"
Li Xianglong frowned and shook his head, "I really haven't heard of it."
Zhang Xiaobai said: "You should understand the literal meaning. I will only tell you one fact. Our country's per capita steel stock is much lower than that of the United States. If you think about it more deeply, you will understand this truth. The steel stock is related to a country." , as important as food.”
"So, our country's steel industry has now entered a stage of stable development. There will be no crisis for a while."
Li Xianglong is a smart man, and he knows everything clearly. He nodded and said, "That's indeed the truth!"
Bao Xiaomei smiled and said: "How is it? Isn't my brother very powerful?"
Li Xianglong said: "The reason why he is so powerful is because he has a sister like you."
Miss Bao said: "If you want me to say, Sister Mengni is the happiest. How good is this brother-in-law at talking?"
A few people were chatting when the little bald Li Bao suddenly ran down and said, "Brother Bai, it's time to play a game. Brother 1 wants to challenge us again."
Zhang Xiaobai asked: "Is Brother Gu here?"
Li Bao said: "Here he is, how can he fight if he's not here?"
Zhang Xiaobai asked again: "How many are you picking this time?"
Li Bao smiled and said, "He said it's casual."
As soon as Zhang Xiaobai saw that the opportunity had come, he stood up, rolled up his sleeves, walked away and said, "The opportunity for revenge has come!"
Now the PK rules of the martial arts game have changed again. There are no restrictions. Group battles can be fought however you want.
Since Brother Yi said it was casual, he called everyone here. People had been tortured too many times, and everyone who knew how to play came.
There was a big battle in the computer room, which lasted for an hour, but Brother No. 1 won in the end.
There was a sound of lamentation.
Niu Yi laughed and said: "Refreshing!"
Li Bao sighed: "Brother Yi's level has risen again!"
Zhang Xiaobai said: "I wonder what's going on with Wuji? One is going down, the other is going up. If he doesn't make progress, I'm afraid he's getting further and further away from Brother Yi."
Xue Zi also came to participate in this battle and said: "Brother Yi is now a god-like existence in martial arts games, and he is the only god!"
Zhang Xiaobai suddenly asked: "According to the current progress, how long will it take before it can be listed on the market?"
Since the summer, Treasure Chest has been preparing to go public. Zhang Xiaobai feels that network technology companies still have to take this path, otherwise others will look down on them.
Xue Zi replied: "Next summer at the latest."
Zhang Xiaobai nodded and said, "Hurry up!"
Xue Zi's cell phone rang suddenly. After answering it, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Brother Bai, you have to go to the company!"
