Chapter 18 The Magic of Home
Zhao Hongming did not expect that on the first day he came to report, he would work until twelve o'clock in the morning.
When he walked into the house with his already numb legs, it was already twelve thirty-five.
He tiptoed into the house, only to see light coming from the crack in the bedroom door.
"Click."
"Old Zhao, you're back!" The bedroom door opened, and his wife Qin Yali came out in her pajamas, "Is this the first day at work?"
Originally, she thought that Qin Yuan would take her husband to meet with the hotel manager today to make preparations for joining the job. Who knew that in the afternoon, she received a call from Zhao Hongming, saying that he would officially start work today and would not be back until later.<
/p>
Qin Yali didn't think much about it, but was a little happy. After all, her husband's job was stable.
However, she did not expect that her husband would not return home until this time.
"Well, why aren't you asleep yet? Didn't I tell you not to wait for me?" Zhao Hongming said reproachfully.
The doormen at Ziyi Hotel work in three shifts, the day shift from 8 am to 4 pm, the middle shift from 4 pm to 0 pm, and the evening shift from 0 pm to 8 am.
Each of the three classes works for two days, and after completing the third shift, they have two days of rest before continuing the rotation. In other words, each class can take two days of rest after working eight days of work. Normally, they can take eight days of rest in a month.
Today, it happens to be similar to weekends.
Zhao Hongming is in the middle class today.
"It's okay, I just finished preparing the lesson.
Huh? What's wrong with your leg?" Qin Yali walked to the water dispenser to pour water for her husband. When she turned around, she saw Zhao Hongming walking with a limp, and she immediately screamed.
"Shh! Keep your voice down, don't wake Huanhuan. I'm fine, but I've been standing for a long time today, and my legs are a little bit overwhelmed."
Zhao Hongming quickly motioned to his wife to lower her voice and slowly sat on the sofa.
"Let me get you a basin of water to soak your feet." Seeing her husband's exhausted look, Qin Yali felt very distressed and quickly went to fetch a basin of hot water and put it at her husband's feet.
"Hiss, it feels good." Put the sore soles into the hot water. The hot water stimulated the skin and immediately opened the pores on the body. Zhao Hongming groaned in comfort.
"Look at you, you've just worked for a day and you're like this. You lack exercise." Seeing her husband's appearance, Qin Yali couldn't help but smile.
In the past, when Zhao Hongming was still working as an office clerk, he would stay in the company all day long and not exercise in the morning and evening. In addition, he couldn't keep his mouth shut, so his weight kept increasing. By the time he lost his job, he was already close to losing weight.
Seventy-three kilograms.
Qin Yali is different. She walks around in class every day. At the end of the day, her back is sore and her legs are swollen. However, she has gotten used to it after more than ten or twenty years.
The exercise step count on WeChat often occupies the cover.
"Well, you don't know! This job is really hard to do. Think about it, you have to stand outside the door for eight hours a day. It would be the same for you." Zhao Hongming smashed his mouth and said weakly.
After all, Jiangcheng is a small town. Even a famous hotel like Ziyi Hotel cannot have a high occupancy rate every day.
Most of the guests in the hotel today had checked in at noon, and only a small number of them checked in while Zhao Hongming was at work.
So today, most of the time, his "little" master Jiang Xiaowei is teaching him some basic knowledge of doormen.
During this period, you can take a break while going to the toilet and drinking water. Except for the one-hour period during which you can alternately eat, you have to stand at the door of the hotel the rest of the time.
Zhao Hongming finally knew the reason why the doorman's salary was as high as 4,000.
I’m afraid most people won’t be able to hold on to a salary of two to three thousand.
"I know, I know, but Lao Zhao, it's hard to find a stable job. You have to stick to it. Don't give up just because of the hard work."
Qin Yali found a small stool and sat down, reached into the basin, took Zhao Hongming's feet, and kneaded them gently.
"No, wife, you've had a hard day too. Go to bed quickly. I'll just take a bath for a while." His wife's actions warmed Zhao Hongming's heart.
"It's okay. I just finished preparing for the lesson. My mind is too active now. I definitely can't fall asleep. I'll talk to you." Qin Yali declined and continued to massage her husband's feet.
"How about Huanhuan? I'm not at home today and you are at school. I don't know what this guy is like at home alone."
Zhao Hongming sat up straight and pulled his wife to sit on the sofa next to him.
"Fortunately, you helped him get a bus pass and a school meal card on Monday, otherwise I would have been really caught off guard today."
When it comes to children, Qin Yali is also a little worried.
After Zhao Hongming decided to work at Ziyi Hotel, the bus card and school meal card were obtained on Monday and installed on Zhao Huan at any time.
Zhao Hongming never came back this afternoon. When school was about to end, Qin Yali had no choice but to contact Zhao Huan's class teacher and ask the class teacher to keep Zhao Huan at school for dinner.
It wasn't until self-study in the evening that Qin Yali finished what she was doing, went to school to pick up Zhao Huan, and helped Zhao Huan finish her homework.
"Actually, Huanhuan didn't fall asleep until almost half past eleven." Qin Yali simply lifted her feet to the sofa and fell directly on Zhao Hongming, "Husband, I was hired by the school as the grade leader."
Qin Yali's topic turned to another direction.
"Hey, that's a good thing! Congratulations, Team Leader Qin." Zhao Hongming smiled, stretched out his hands and pressed gently on both sides of his wife's temples.
Qin Yali has a headache. She has been to all the major hospitals in the past few years, but no cause has been found.
Zhao Hongming often helps his wife with head massages.
"Congratulations!"
Feeling the warmth from her husband's hands, Qin Yali gently closed her eyes.
"It's too busy. There are too many things going on in the school now, and the teaching tasks are already tight. The higher-ups still conduct surveys like this, and put them into the school in forms. After the head teachers of each class have completed these tasks, they still have to summarize them at the grade level.
Now I’m doing it all.”
Qin Yali complained.
I still remember when I first started working. Although the salary was not high, there were not so many chores. In addition to attending classes every day, I also prepared lessons, so I could really concentrate on doing research.
Things are different now, with social and economic development and improved wages, but Qin Yali feels that compared to more than ten years ago, work is much more tiring.
Colleagues in school now jokingly call each other "cousin" and "cousin".
It means the older brother and sister who makes watches.
"At the beginning, you will all feel uncomfortable. This is not the same as me. Everything is difficult at the beginning, so let's work hard together." Zhao Hongming comforted.
The couple just sat on the sofa until the water in the footbath got cold before they returned to the bedroom.
