My courtyard shelter

Compared to a manager, Xu's mother is actually more of a supervisor. Besides, there are three precious grandchildren at home, so it is impossible for her to spend all her time and energy on managing the company. read

At best, two or three times a month is fine.

"Mom, when Lingling graduates from college, I'll ask her to come over and help you." Xu Ting retreated and settled for the next best thing.

"It will take another three or four years. Then there won't be a good position." Xu Ma said depressedly.

Xu Ting smiled and said: "She had just graduated at that time. If she wants a good position, she can just arrange an assistant."

"Now that the state is responsible for the distribution, don't you plan to let Lingling join the system?" Xu's mother said unexpectedly.

"No, the work within the system is not easy now. Look at me, then look at Ma Jie and Lao San, which one is really relaxed? It's better to rest assured in your own company."

"Your brother is just fooling around."

"That's not true. Didn't Dongzi go on several business trips last year? He also had to work overtime and was busy all the time." Xu Ting said with emotion.

After her daughter said this, Xu's mother thought about it carefully and found that it was really the case.

"Oh, if I had known this, I might as well have let him help your dad open a company. Your dad doesn't know anything about starting a company. Dongzi is the one who helps him make plans behind the scenes. Your brother is just lazy!"

"This man is not afraid of being lazy, but afraid of being incompetent. Look at Ma Jie, he is diligent. He wants to make money day and night, but what's the use?

It would be better to have a little suggestion from the third child, which directly made our family earn 20 million, and by the way, we also obtained the Yanjing household registration, which Ma Jie and I could not obtain even after a lifetime of hard work. "

"Second brother, you said your brother is so smart, why did he have to study so hard in the first place?" Xu's mother was puzzled. If the third child could get into a key university, he might have made a fortune long ago.

Xu Ting smiled and speculated: "The third child has good vision and may be more suitable for business. As long as he is given a chance, he will skyrocket."

"That's true."

…

In the courtyard, Xu Dongzheng went out with a large group of children, including his eldest niece Xu Jingyi, sister and brother Ma Lingling, and his five children.

This time I went out not for shopping or fun, but to take care of my personal hygiene. After all, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and my whole body needs to be refreshed.

To put it bluntly, it’s a one-stop service for haircuts and bathing.

When I came to the barber shop, I waited for half an hour just like last year, and then spent another half hour getting a haircut, which was extremely fast.

Three yuan a head, the price has not changed.

There was no mobile payment in the store, so Xu Dong gave him fifty yuan in cash without asking the store to give him change. He used the extra money to shave his beard.

After leaving the barber shop, the group drove to a nearby public bathhouse.

Public bathhouses are a new thing that only appeared in March last year. It cannot be said to be a new thing. It is more accurate to say that it has become popular on a large scale.

As the drought continues, residents' water supply becomes increasingly tight, seriously affecting everyone's daily lives, especially bathing, which troubles many families.

Especially in the long summer, when the daytime temperature is as high as 40 to 50 degrees, people will get sick if they don't take a shower for a day.

In desperation, most families can only make do with wet towels, which is not satisfactory, and many people are not used to it.

Later, the city specially laid a special water pipeline, which transported not tap water, but filtered natural seawater.

Next, around this pipeline, the city built a series of public bathhouses, laundry rooms, and even swimming pools in areas along the route.

These projects are not expensive and have completely solved the problems of bathing and washing clothes in many families. They have received rave reviews for a while.

At the entrance of the bathhouse, Dabao looked at the crowds of people coming in and out, and couldn't help but curiously said:

"Dad, what is this place for?"

There is no shortage of water in Lao Xu's family. Except for Xu Dong who comes here occasionally, the rest of the family rarely comes, mainly because they find it troublesome.

Speaking of which, this is the first time for the twins and triplets to come here.

Xu Dong patted his eldest son on the head: "This is the bathing place. Dad will take you to take a nice bath today."

"Dad, what is a good bath?" Erbao asked loudly.

"Well……"

Ma Lingling answered helpfully: "A happy bath means you can wash as much as you want. There will be more water than you can use up."

"Oh, Dad, I want to swim."

Erbao remembered the scene of swimming in the bathtub before. I don’t know since when, the bathtub at home has never been filled with water.

"This is a bathhouse, not a swimming pool. There is no swimming pool in the bathhouse." Xu Dong explained.

"Then what is a swimming pool?"

"The swimming pool is a place dedicated to swimming. When summer comes, daddy will take you to swim, okay?"

Lele took the opportunity to interject: "Dad, I want to go to the swimming pool too."

"And me." Coco raised her hand.

"Uncle, I want to go too." Ma Xu followed.

"Stop arguing, everyone has a share." Xu Dong quickly agreed.

After finally calming down the children, Xu Dong quickly went to buy tickets. The triplets were free of charge if they were not tall enough, while the others were charged ten yuan each.

There is also fresh water for flushing, which requires an extra charge. Xu Dong directly asked for the two largest buckets, which cost 100 yuan a bucket.

Much more expensive than tap water at home.

After buying the tickets, the group was divided into men and women.

Xu Jingyi carried the big bucket and took her sisters to the women's bathhouse; Xu Dong took the three brothers Ma Xu and Dabao to the men's bathhouse.

The bathhouse has heating, so it's not cold even if you take off your clothes. The five of them entered the bathhouse naked.

Ma Xu led his cousins ​​in front, and Xu Dong followed behind. He held a bucket in his left hand and bathing supplies in his right hand.

In addition to providing water, public bathhouses do not provide anything else, including slippers, shower gel and towels, which need to be brought by yourself.

"Xiao Xu, the ground is slippery, help uncle to watch the younger brothers."

"Uncle, I know, I will watch them."

Dabao is very much like an elder brother: "Dad, I will hold my younger brothers well."

"So sensible!" Xu Dong praised in time.

The interior space of the bathhouse is very large, with tiles all around and on the ground, and the lights are also very bright, but the facilities are very simple, with only rows of shower heads.

There are so many people in the bathhouse today, and it was not easy to find a vacant position.

After putting away the toiletries, Xu Dong turned on the shower head directly, wet his body first, and then began to apply shower gel to the children.

The shower gel is from the year before last, with a shelf life of three years. It will expire after this year. Currently, except for washing powder and toothpaste, other toiletries have almost disappeared from the market.

"Dad, why is the water bitter?" Dabao spit out a few mouthfuls of saliva.

Xu Dong wiped the water off the other person's face with the towel, and then explained: "This is sea water, sea water is bitter, you can't drink it, you three don't open your mouth, remember?"

ps: Please recommend and monthly tickets!
