Little Pudding directly stretched out his little hand.
Zhang Hao shook his head: "No, you two only worked for two hours today. The salary of one hundred yuan is already very high. Don't be dissatisfied."
"Bad dad! Bad dad!"
Little Pudding lost his temper on the spot.
"Stop making trouble." Zhang Hao patted his youngest son on the head, and then started to draw a pie: "If you two really want to make more money, then work hard and don't be lazy. The more dad earns, the more he will share.
The more money you will have."
Little Pudding nodded guiltily. He was too tired just now, so he was lazy a lot.
After resting, the group was preparing to go home.
Zhang Hao suddenly stopped and looked at his sons and suggested: "Big pudding, little pudding, this is the first time you two have received wages in your lives. Do you want to buy some gifts for your grandparents and grandma to take back?"
"What about my sister's doll?"
Big Pudding hesitated.
"It's not like tomorrow won't come. As long as you two are willing to endure hardships, it will be no problem to save seven or eight thousand yuan over the summer vacation. This money will be enough to buy a doll." Zhang Hao explained patiently.
"Dad, I'm not afraid of hardship."
Big Pudding quickly expressed his position.
Zhang Hao immediately praised a few words, and then took the opportunity to teach: "Grandpa, grandma and grandma work hard to take care of you two every day. You must be filial to them, do you know?"
"I know." Big Pudding nodded.
Little Pudding raised his chubby hand: "Dad, can I buy a gift for mom too?"
"Of course! Mom will be very happy after receiving the gift." Zhang Hao smiled and nodded.
"Dad, do you want a gift?"
Big Pudding asked immediately.
"Dad, I don't want it." Zhang Hao waved his hand, "You two are willing to come to dad's shop to help, which is the best gift for dad."
"Okay then, let's go buy gifts now."
Big Pudding pulled his father towards the stall next to him.
In less than half an hour, the twins bought the gifts and set out on their way home contentedly.
"Grandma, grandma, mom, we are back."
As soon as they entered the door, the brothers shouted loudly.
Li Dajuan hurriedly greeted her and said with concern on her face: "Tell grandma, are you tired from work this morning?"
"Not tired!" Little Pudding shook his head, and then handed the gift in his hand to grandma: "Grandma, this is the gift I bought for you with my salary. Dad said that with the first salary, he should buy gifts for the people he likes the most.
."
"Grandma, I bought it too."
Big Pudding followed up with his own gift.
"Our big pudding and little pudding have finally grown up, and they both know how to buy gifts for grandma."
Li Dajuan accepted the gift with excitement, and then kissed her grandchildren one by one on their faces.
Little Pudding was impatient and couldn't help but urge: "Grandma, grandma, please open it quickly and take a look."
"Okay, grandma will take it apart now."
Li Dajuan unpacked the wrapping paper unhurriedly.
When Big Pudding saw grandma, he immediately ran over with the gift in his arms: "Grandma, this is my gift to you."
Zhang Hao helped explain: "Mom, today is the first time for both of them to work. After being paid, I bought you a gift specially."
"Wow, our big pudding and little pudding are so filial." Zhou's mother suddenly smiled from ear to ear.
Soon, the gift boxes were opened one by one.
The big pudding gave grandma a hat, a pair of socks to grandma, and a hairpin to mom; the little pudding gave grandma a comb, grandma a pair of gloves, and mom
is a gem with a glass heart.
There is no way, after all, the budget is only 100 yuan, and it has to be divided into four parts, so I can only buy some worthless gadgets, my heart is priceless.
In the evening, Zhang Chongxin returned home from get off work.
The twins couldn't wait to give each other their gifts. The big pudding gave them a chess set, and the little pudding gave them an ordinary glass water cup.
After Zhang Chongxin received the gifts, he threw the jade chess set and high-end purple clay pot that he usually used into the cabinet and used the gifts from his grandchildren instead.
And I especially told my wife to be careful when cleaning and not to drop the cup.
…
Over the next week or so, the business of the trap shop gradually got back on track. Once the excitement wore off, the daily turnover was maintained at around one thousand yuan.
The main reason is that the probability of setting cans is too low.
As of yesterday, a total of five canned meats had been taken away. Except for the first day, there was one every four days on average. Everyone's enthusiasm was quickly exhausted.
However, something unexpected happened today. A young trap master finally came to the store and took away all the remaining cans in the store in one go. In the end, he had to close early.
Little Pudding cried: "Dad, big brother is so bad that he took away all the cans from our house."
"People rely on their ability to earn a living, so we have to admit our defeat."
Zhang Hao sighed helplessly.
It was only four and a half boxes of cans, he could afford to lose.
Captain Fang said worriedly: "Director Zhang, what if the other party comes again tomorrow? Should we add a restriction that each person can only put one can?"
"Forget it, as our reputation grows, there will only be more and more professional players like this, and it's impossible to guard against them." Zhang Hao shook his head.
"What should we do?"
"I just thought of a way."
Captain Fang quickly asked: "What can we do?"
"I plan to add the word 'children' in front of the store name, and at the same time reduce the difficulty of trapping. From now on, we will only accept children under eight years old, returning to the original intention of entertainment."
"Wonderful, what a great idea!"
Captain Fang gave a thumbs up.
Zhang Hao smiled, then picked up the cash box and took out two ten-yuan notes:
"Big pudding, little pudding, this is your salary today."
"Dad, did you take the wrong one? This is ten yuan, not one hundred yuan." Big Pudding quickly reminded.
"That's right. Dad not only didn't make any money today, but also lost tens of thousands of dollars. It's pretty good for you two to have ten dollars."
Zhang Hao showed a businesslike attitude.
"But ten dollars is too little, right?"
Little Pudding said unwillingly.
"Don't forget, you two only worked for ten minutes today, so ten yuan is just right."
Zhang Hao took the trouble to explain.
He wanted to establish for the brothers a value system of distribution according to work, and not always thinking about getting something for nothing.
The twins murmured a few words, found nothing wrong, and finally accepted the ten yuan salary.
In the blink of an eye, the next day came and the trap master from yesterday showed up again.
"Little brother." Zhang Hao couldn't help but joked: "You have to be content. You just made fifty or sixty thousand yuan from me yesterday. Do you want to continue to harvest wool today?"
"Boss, I didn't break the rules, did I?"
The young man retorted shamelessly.
It is rare to meet such an honest boss, and the prizes are so generous. A little shame is nothing, making money is the right way.
Zhang Hao pointed at the signboard: "I'm not afraid to tell you that the rules have changed today. From now on, our store will only accept children under eight years old. I suggest you try your luck elsewhere!"
The young man was very straightforward and turned around and left without saying a word.
When the twins saw this, they clapped their hands excitedly. Dad was so awesome that he drove the big devil away.
…
On July 20, Zhang Chongyi and others arrived.
Zhang Hao rested for several days and finally helped his relatives settle down.
Immediately afterwards, as the due date approached, Zhang Hao sent his wife to the hospital. Given the current traffic conditions, it would be troublesome if she was stuck in the middle of the road.
After a week of this, Yang Huaqing was finally about to give birth. Zhang Hao made several calls in succession, and soon a large number of people arrived at the hospital.
Including big pudding and small pudding.
"Xiaohao, how is Hua Qing?"
Li Dajuan expressed concern.
"Just pushed in."
Zhang Hao was restless.
Kuang Wenhui said anxiously: "What did the doctor say? Is there nothing wrong?"
"Mom, don't worry, everything is normal now."
Zhang Hao comforted him.
"That's good." Kuang Wenhui breathed a sigh of relief, then scanned around, and couldn't help but wonder: "Hey, where is our Lao Yang? Zhang Hao, didn't you inform him?"
Yang Dengbang works at Haotian Group and is closer to the hospital. Logically speaking, he should have arrived early.
Zhang Hao quickly explained: "Mom, my father-in-law went to the capital for a meeting and is on his way back now."
"What a nonsense. Hua Qing is about to give birth and he still has time to attend the meeting."
Kuang Wenhui couldn't help but complain.
Zhang Chongxin immediately helped explain: "My mother-in-law, Lao Yang is the head of the department after all. He is already busy. Let's understand him better."
"No matter how busy he is, can he be as busy as Zhang Hao? I think he just doesn't care." Kuang Wenhui said angrily.
"Mom, please calm down." Zhang Hao quickly advised, "Zhucheng is not too far away. You can come back in two or three hours. I called just now. As soon as my dad heard that Hua Qing was going to give birth, he didn't do anything.
I couldn't care less and left the meeting midway."
"Okay, mother-in-law, with medical skills now so advanced, Hua Qing will definitely be fine, so you don't have to worry too much." Li Dajuan then comforted her.
"Forget it, let's not talk about him."
Kuang Wenhui waved his hand.
She was not looking for trouble just now, but wanted to take the opportunity to relieve the tension in her heart.
Seeing that the adults had finished speaking, little Pudding took his father's arm and asked, "Dad, when can I see my sister?"
"My sister is still in mother's belly and hasn't been born yet. Don't worry, you should see her soon." Zhang Hao squatted down and explained patiently.
Little Pudding shook the toy car in his hand: "Dad, I brought toys for my sister."
"My sister is still young and can't play with toys yet. Let's wait until she grows up to play with them, okay?"
"Okay." Little Pudding nodded obediently.
Zhang Jiayi took the opportunity to tease: "Little Pudding, what if my mother gives birth to a younger brother?"
"No, dad said the baby in mom's belly is a sister." Little Pudding shook his head repeatedly.
"Your dad just guessed, it doesn't count."
"I don't care, I want my sister."
Little Pudding said "angry".
Zhang Hao touched his youngest son's head: "Okay, whether it's a younger sister or a younger brother, Little Pudding is an older brother, and those who are older brothers must act like older brothers."
Little Pudding nodded subconsciously, but from the bottom of his heart, he still hoped to have a cute sister.
Zhang Jiayi wanted to tease her a little more, but Li Dajuan quickly stopped her and said, "What time has it been? You still have the heart to entertain children. Where is your sister? Why isn't she here?"
"Mom, the eldest sister was just called away. As you know, the hospital is very busy and she can't stay here forever." Zhang Hao explained helpfully.
Li Dajuan complained a few words and said no more.
In this way, everyone waited from 10:30 in the morning to 4:30 in the afternoon when Yang Huaqing finally gave birth.
"Congratulations, mother and son are safe."
"Amitabha..." Li Dajuan clasped her hands together and bowed quickly to the west, "As long as everything is alright, God bless me. I will go to the temple in two days to fulfill my vow."
My daughter-in-law gave birth for a full six hours, which really scared everyone. If the doctor hadn't said there was no problem, they would have just had a caesarean section.
Zhang Chongxin quickly took out a stack of red envelopes and handed them out to the doctors and nurses one by one. The red envelopes were very thin, but they contained 10,000 yuan worth of shopping coupons.
Zhang Hao couldn't wait to rush into the maternity room, wanting to see his wife's condition.
Little Pudding took her sister-in-law's hand and asked, "Sister-in-law, has mother given birth to a younger sister?"
Zhang Jiaqi also just arrived.
"No, didn't you hear? The nurse said that mother and child are safe, and your mother gave birth to a younger brother."
"Brother?" Little Pudding suddenly burst into tears: "Wow, I don't want a brother, I want a sister."
The big pudding on the side felt equally uncomfortable.
The sister the brothers had been looking forward to for more than half a year disappeared and turned into a bratty younger brother. No one could stand this change.
When Li Dajuan heard her grandson's cry, she immediately came over and pinched her little daughter hard:
"On this big day, you have to make them both cry?"
"Mom, what does it have to do with me that they want a sister?"
Zhang Jiaqi rubbed her arms and said with aggrieved face.
Li Dajuan glared at her little daughter, then put her little grandson into her arms: "Don't cry, our little pudding is a grown-up child, and he must set an example for his younger brother."
"Grandma, I want a sister."
Little Pudding sobbed.
He and his eldest brother even bought dolls, which were very beautiful and even taller than the two brothers.
At the same time, Yang Huaqing, who was lying on the hospital bed, was just pushed out. Hearing what Little Pudding said, he quickly waved to the two little guys:
"Big pudding, little pudding, come to mother."
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Seeing the frail mother, the two sweet boys immediately came online.
Yang Huaqing touched the foreheads of the two brothers one by one and showed a smile: "Mom is fine, just take a nap and you two will be fine. Stop crying. Mom promises you that she will give birth to a sister next time."
"Really?"
Little Pudding held back her tears instantly.
"Really, how could mom lie to little pudding?"
"Wow, that's great, my sister is still here."
The twins became excited.
Yang Huaqing quickly changed the topic: "But, can you two also agree to a condition for mother?"
"Mom, what are the conditions?"
"Promise your mother that you will help her take good care of your brother and be a good brother in the future. Can you do it?"
Big Pudding nodded without hesitation: "Mom, I am the eldest brother. I will definitely take good care of my younger brother and not let others bully him."
"I will protect my younger brother with my eldest brother."
