Chapter eight hundred and eighty night five to nine
Half an hour later, the eldest son's home arrived.
What catches your eye is a Western-style three-story western-style building with white exterior walls and pointed roofs. After entering the door is a small courtyard of about 100 square meters. The yard is lush and looks very warm.
"Son, come out quickly, see who is coming?"
Dabao shouted loudly into the house.
Soon a little boy who looked like he was eight or nine years old ran out excitedly. Xu Dong smiled and spread his arms. As a result, the little guy suddenly stopped when he came to him, as if a mouse had seen a cat.
"Grandpa? Why are you?"
Xu Dong stepped forward and knocked his second grandson on the head. Sheep dressed up and said angrily: "Grandpa worked hard and ran over to see you from all over the world. What's your attitude?"
"I didn't. I just didn't expect you to come to Feizhou, grandpa. I also spoke to grandma on the phone last night. Grandma and the others were too unfavorable, and they actually hid it from me."
Xiao Haizai subconsciously shrank his neck.
It looked exactly like his father when he was a child.
"Your grandma wants to give you a surprise."
Xu Dong explained casually.
Xiao Haizao couldn't help but curl his lips. This was not a surprise, it was simply a frightening one. In his mind, grandpa was a person who was even more severe than the head teacher.
The little guy is a naughty guy, and he has never liked to study since he was a child, so he has been beaten a lot before.
Niu Niu followed behind and said, "Dad, are you hungry? There are noodles in the pot. Do you want to have a little?"
"I'm not hungry, Lele made a lot of snacks. We've eaten them on the plane." Xu Dong waved his hand and then ordered: "Just make a pot of tea. I'll check the learning status of Xiao Haijiao later."
Xu Dong has always been very concerned about his grandchildren's studies. The old saying goes, "We can only be rich for three generations." Their Xu family's family business cannot be defeated by their grandchildren.
These days are not a "good opportunity" to spend money.
No matter where you are born, life is not easy for ordinary people, especially in the past few years, when the whole world combined, at least 10% of the population starved to death.
For the sake of the lives of the younger generation, this family business has to be kept no matter what. Besides, there are too many grandchildren, so it is not rare at all.
"Dad, eat some more! It's not good to eat too much cold food, so eat some hot to warm your stomach."
Niu Niu quickly persuaded.
Xu Dong nodded and refused again.
After the eldest daughter-in-law left, he patted Xiao Haizao on the back with his hand: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and take your winter vacation homework. Grandpa wants to check it in person."
"Grandpa, I haven't finished writing yet?"
Xiao Haizao had a bitter face and wanted to get through it.
"School will start in a few days, why haven't you finished writing yet? Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and take the homework book." Xu Dong said with a stern face.
Xiao Haizao secretly glanced at his father, Dabao shrugged and replied with an incomfortable gesture.
Five minutes later, Xu Dong was eating noodles while checking his second grandson's homework. Good guy, I didn't finish writing this, I just didn't write much at all.
The little seaweed next to him was so anxious that he scratched his head.
Dabao quickly explained: "Dad, this year is the first year of post-disaster reconstruction, especially during the Chinese New Year, Niu Niu and I didn't have time to check Xiao Haizao's learning situation."
"No matter how busy you work, you can't ignore your children's education issues. There is only one around you. Is it impossible to deal with it? What will happen in the future?"
Xu Dong put down his job and he was full of anger.
"Dad, don't be angry." Niu Niu immediately ran over and persuaded, "I have discussed with Dabao. When he becomes the chairman, I will stay at home to take care of the children. Xiao Xigua and Xiao Maodou will come over in the second half of the year, but no one at home can do it."
"Don't be tired, you can't hire two nannies."
It’s not easy for the eldest daughter-in-law to have a daughter-in-law these years, and Xu Dong must give it to the other side.
Niu Niu shook her head: "My dad and my mom will come with me in the second half of the year. With their help, there is no need to hire a nanny at home for the time being."
Although Maputo is generally stable, there are many foreign workers in the industrial area, and the public security is not as good as expected. There are several vicious cases every year, and even family tragedy incidents have occurred.
It's more reliable for your own family.
After all, it is related to the personal safety of the children, so it is not too much to be careful.
"It's better that the in-laws can come here."
Xu Dong nodded with a smile, then pulled his second grandson to his side and started his homework personally.
Xiao Haizao was so angry that he couldn't cry at this time.
He originally planned to go to Xingzi's house in two days and take advantage of the other party's winter vacation homework to "reference" it. Now, it's better, my grandfather has been ruined when he comes.
...
The next morning, I had breakfast.
Seeing that his father was bored, Dabao spoke up and suggested taking a walk outside and visiting the industrial area. After all, his father hadn't been here for more than three years.
Xu Dong thought about it and found that there would be customers coming to the door later and he couldn't go too far, so he nodded and agreed.
As for our little seaweed, we were "written hard" in the bedroom at this time. Grandpa said that we would check today's results before supper.
If you fail to complete the task, not only will you confiscate all your pocket money, but you will also have to spank.
The little guy was so scared.
Because my grandfather never jokes, whether it is a good or a bad thing, he will do what he says.
After leaving the gate, the father and son walked along the main road for less than ten minutes. Xu Dong couldn't help but wonder:
"What is this special day? It's early in the morning, there's not even a ghost on the road?"
"Dad, the factories in Maputo generally work in two shifts. The working hours of the day shift start at 9 am and end at 5 pm. It's only less than 8 am now, and it's still early to change shifts!"
"Why aren't it 8 o'clock in the morning to 8 o'clock in the evening?"
"Well, on the one hand, local workers are unwilling to work night shifts. They only accept nine to five hours of work and rest time. In addition, factory owners do not want to pay overtime pay, so they simply let foreign workers work night shifts."
Dabao explained casually.
Xu Dong calculated silently in his heart and was surprised in an instant: "According to what you said, wouldn't those foreign workers have to work fifteen hours a day?"
"It's fifteen hours indeed."
Dabao nodded.
"What about the salary? How much can they get in a month?"
"Abandon food and drink, you will get about two or three thousand!"
"So low? What about the salary of the formal workers?"
Xu Dong frowned unconsciously.
The minimum wage in Sydney City is 3,500 yuan, and this is not considered overtime pay. If you add six or seven hours of overtime pay, you will definitely be able to easily get 10,000 yuan per month.
"Formal work is higher than in China, and it is about seven or eight thousand yuan a month!"
Xu Dong said curiously: "Is labor shortage so short? How many people are there in the Philippines at present?"
"According to the official figures, it is about 58 million, less than 60 million. Especially in the past three or four years, the immigration wave has almost stagnated. To be honest, the labor gap is indeed not small."
