Compared to managers, Xu Ma is actually more like a supervisor. Besides, she has three precious grandsons at home, so she can't spend all her time and energy on managing the company.
At best, it would be nice to come two or three times a month.
"Mom, when Lingling graduates from college, I will ask her to come and help you." Xu Ting settled for the second best.
"It will take three or four years, and I will not have a good place to come again." Xu Ma said depressedly.
Xu Ting smiled and said, "At that time, she had just graduated. She just wanted a good position and just arrange an assistant."
"Now the state has provided distribution, don't you plan to let Lingling enter the system?" Xu Ma 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 easy? Let's put your own company on peace of mind."
"Your brother is busy."
"Not it, right? Didn't Dongzi have a few bad times last year? He also worked overtime later, so he would be busy for a long time without leaving home." Xu Ting sighed.
After being told by his daughter, Xu Ma thought about it carefully and found that it was really the case.
"Oh, if I had known this, I would have asked him to help your father start a company. Your father didn't know what kind of company he started. It was Dongzi who helped him out behind his back. Your brother was just lazy!"
"This man is not afraid of being lazy, but is afraid of being incompetent. Look at Ma Jie, being diligent is diligent, and he wishes he could make money day and night, but what's the use?
It’s better to be a little suggestion from the third brother. We directly earned our family 20 million yuan and obtained the Yanjing household registration. Ma Jie and I will never be able to exchange it for the rest of our lives.”
"Second, you said your brother is so smart, why did he have so much effort to study at the beginning?" Xu Ma was puzzled. If the third brother could get into a key university, he might have become rich long ago.
Xu Ting smiled and speculated: "The third brother has a good vision and may be more suitable for business. As long as he is given a chance, he will soar into the sky."
"This is true."
...
At the Siheyuan, Xu Dong was taking a large group of children out, including his eldest niece Xu Jingyi, Ma Lingling and his siblings, and his five children.
This time I went out, I didn’t shop or go out, but went to take care of my personal hygiene. After all, the Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated, and my whole body will be completely renewed.
To put it bluntly, it is a one-stop haircut and bathing.
I came to the barber shop and waited for half an hour like last year, and then spent another half an hour to get my hair done. The speed was so fast.
The first three dollars per price has not changed.
There was no mobile payment in the store, so Xu Dong gave him 50 yuan in cash and did not ask the store to make change. The extra money was shaved directly.
After leaving the barber shop, the group drove a rush to a nearby public bathhouse.
Public bathhouses are new things that only appeared in March last year, nor can they be said to be new things. To be more precise, it is a large-scale popularity.
As the drought continues to burn, the water supply for residents is becoming increasingly tight, which seriously affects everyone's daily life, especially the problem of bathing, which has troubled many families.
Especially in the long summer, the temperature is as high as 40 degrees during the day, and people will get bad if they don’t take a bath for a day.
In desperation, ordinary families can only choose to use a wet towel to just put it in, which is unsatisfactory, which makes many people not used to it.
Later, the city specially laid a special water supply pipeline, which transported not tap water, but filtered natural seawater.
Next, around this pipeline, the city built a series of public bathhouses and laundry rooms, and even swimming pools in the areas along the route.
These projects are not expensive, which completely solves the problems of bathing and washing clothes in many families, and has received rave reviews for a while.
At the door of the bathhouse, Dabao looked at the crowds coming in and out, and couldn't help but say curiously:
"Dad, what's the matter here?"
Old Xu's family is not short of water. Except for Xu Dong, the whole family rarely comes here, mainly because they find it troublesome.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that twins and triplets have come here.
Xu Dong patted his eldest son's head: "This is the place to take a bath. Dad will take you to take a good bath today."
"Dad, what is a good bath?" Erbao asked loudly.
"Well……"
Ma Lingling helped answer: "I can take a shower any time I want, and I can't use it."
"Oh, dad, I want to swim."
Erbao remembered the scene of swimming in the bathtub before. I don’t know when the bathtub at home has never been filled with water.
"This is a bathhouse, not a swimming pool, and there is no swimming pool in the bathhouse." Xu Dong explained.
"What is a swimming pool?"
"The swimming pool is a special place for swimming. When summer comes, my dad will take you to swim. OK?"
Lele took the opportunity to interrupt and said, "Dad, I want to go to the swimming pool, too."
"And I." Coco raised his hand.
"Uncle, I want to go too." Ma Xu followed suit.
"Stop quarrel, everyone has a share." Xu Dong quickly agreed.
After finally comforting the children, Xu Dong hurried to buy tickets. The triplets were not tall enough and the others were free of charge for ten yuan each.
There is also fresh water for rinsing, which costs an extra fee. Xu Dong directly asked for two largest buckets, one hundred yuan per bucket.
It's much more expensive than tap water at home.
After buying the tickets, the group separated according to the men and women.
Xu Jingyi took the big bucket and took her sisters to the women's bathhouse; Xu Dong took Ma Xu and Dabao to the men's bathhouse.
There was heating in the bathhouse, and it was not cold to take off your clothes. Five people entered the bathhouse naked.
Ma Xu walked in front with his cousins, Xu Dong followed behind, holding a bucket in his left hand and bathing supplies in his right hand.
In addition to providing water, there are no other things in the public bathhouse, including slippers, shower gel and towels.
"Xiaoxu, slide on the ground, help my uncle watch some of my brothers."
"I know my uncle, I will watch them."
Dabao has a big brother style: "Dad, I will take good care of my younger brothers."
"So sensible!" Xu Dong praised in time.
The interior space of the bathhouse is very large, with ceramic tiles all around and on the ground, and the lighting is also very bright, but the facilities are very simple, with only rows of shower heads.
There are a lot of people in the bathhouse today, and I finally found a free place.
After putting down the toiletries, Xu Dong turned on the shower head, first wet his body, and then began to apply shower gel to the children.
The shower gel was from the previous year, with a shelf life of three years and will expire this year. At present, except for washing powder and toothpaste, other toiletries on the market have almost disappeared.
"Dad, why is water bitter?" Dabao quickly vomited a few saliva.
Xu Dong's towel helped the other party wipe the water from his face, and then explained: "This is sea water. The sea water is bitter and you can't drink it. Don't open your mouth, remember?"
