20 years of spring breeze

Chapter 274 The Mother-in-Law Arrives

Xiaowei thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine, let him come to work here after the new year, and set up a financial office upstairs for him, as it happens that there is a relatively large amount of money for tuition fees here. In fact, our transactions are not accurate in the ballroom, like billiards, we can estimate roughly in a day."

Xiaohong said: "Next year, we can add a hut at the entrance, as long as it can seat one person, and we only need to collect money to sell tickets, and just don't let the old black and the others touch the money. It's okay at the beginning, and it will be sure after a long time. The problem is that the number of people in a day is not accurate, and it is 20 yuan for ten people."

Xiaowei asked, "How about karaoke and billiards?"

Xiaohong leaned against Xiaowei, pouted and thought for a while, "No idea, it would be fine if billiards were charged uniformly, but it's a bit troublesome, what's the matter with the karaoke hall? Why do people order one song and pay for one song? Then who is still here?"

Xiaowei said: "Why don't karaoke halls simply charge by the hour, anyway, people who go in can come out within a few minutes, [-] per hour, buy a ticket to enter, unlimited tea, unlimited singing, okay?"

Xiaohong thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Maybe not. What if I go in with two tables and three tables? I think Huang Laowu is very smart. He shouldn't have any other ideas about money. Let him go to the karaoke hall." It’s okay to see, anyway, if you talk, it doesn’t matter if you earn or not.”

Xiaowei said: "It's true. This karaoke hall is mainly used to support restaurants. The people in the bureau eat and drink well. If you want to play for a while, you can go there for a while. Singing and dancing are free. Okay, then How about this."

Xiaohong said: "In fact, billiards can be charged as much as a dance hall. You can buy it by the hour or by the number of times. The whole card, after collecting the money, give a card, and the administrator over there can swipe the card."

Xiaowei said: "Forget it, it's okay to sell tickets in a centralized manner because of the poor management of the ballroom. It would be too obvious if the billiards were used like this again. It's not a fuss. But it's okay to get some cards like you said. Someday Let me discuss it with Huang Laowu and see what he means."

Put away the account book, put the folder in the carry-on bag, check the time and ask, "What are you doing in the afternoon?"

Xiaohong stretched her waist and said: "What can I do, sleep for a while after eating, and watch TV in the afternoon, where to go in this cold, besides, there is nowhere to go. In Fengtian, I can go shopping with my classmates. There's no one I know."

The phone rang, and Xiaohong reached out to pick it up: "Hello? Dad? What's the matter? Why did you remember to call?" Turning to look at Xiaowei, she said silently: "My dad."

"Ah? Oh, um, why are you here? 28? All right, you are the leader, busy. Talk to Xiaowei? Oh, okay, hang up." Putting down the phone, Xiaohong said : "My mom is here, let's pick it up tonight, my dad is here at 28."

Xiaowei asked: "Which train?"

Xiaohong said: "It's still the same trip. If you go from the county, you can only take this trip, or you have to go to the city one day in advance, which will be even more troublesome."

Xiaowei stood up and said, "I'll go and talk to my parents, and I'll clean up the empty room when I'm done."

Xiaohong also stood up: "I'll do it with you. Fortunately, there are many houses, otherwise we won't be able to live in them."

Xiaowei picked up his backpack and said, "Old Xia and Xiaohui are not here, so it doesn't matter which house they live in, why can't they fit in?"

Put Xiaowei's backpack in their own room and put it away. The two of them went to tell Xiaowei's parents about Xiaohong's mother's coming, and then started to tidy up the house.Bring the water dispenser from Xiaohuiwu, dust the whole house, re-make the bed, find out the quilt and fix it, thermos, kettle, toothpaste, toothbrush, toothbrush and towel.After the two of them finished the house, Xiaobing came back with his winter vacation homework and had lunch.

The employees on both sides took their lunch boxes and went back to eat separately. Of course, they can sit down and eat in the dining room if they want to. Everyone eats the same thing.

The female workers at the cafeteria would call back to find a place to sit and eat. Guan He must be with her husband, while the four maids at the training side were willing to eat with Xiaowei's family. They also brought lunch boxes. He didn't leave after finishing, just squeezed and ate with everyone at this table, chatting chirpingly.Liu Hongliang and Xiaojun must have eaten with Xiaowei's family, so An Zhonghua was left alone among the men.

This buddy didn't feel comfortable leaving after the meal, and he didn't feel comfortable even if he didn't leave. The main reason was that he didn't regard himself as a person who worked here, so he didn't get along well with everyone.

Xiaowei greeted him: "Let's eat here, what's the point of you eating alone." An Zhonghua took advantage of the situation and sat down on the table, smiling.

Sister Li’s father-in-law, surnamed Guan, eats three meals a day here, and pays him 300 yuan a month, but the old man never eats here, and he takes them back to the hut where he lives. Apart from this point, he is quite kind, he is always smiling all day long, during the day Xiaowei’s father would go to the watchdog to smoke a cigarette and talk with him when he has nothing to do, for fear that an old man would get bored here.

At 07:30 in the evening, Xiaowei drove Xiaohong and his mother to the train station to pick up Aunt Wang.

The snow has stopped now, the wind is still so strong, the temperature outside is at least minus 25, the number of people exiting the station is obviously much less than usual, and most of the small hotels and black cars that usually rush to solicit customers are gone. A few are still persisting, and they are also frozen straight.

Aunt Wang came out of the station fully armed wearing a cotton hat and covering her thick scarf. If Xiaohong hadn't come, Xiaowei and Xiaowei's mother might not have recognized her.The four of them didn't say a word, they got into the car and hurried to the yard.It was too cold.

After returning to the yard and entering the house, Aunt Wang unarmed her.

Holding the hot water and leaning against the radiator, Aunt Wang said, "Oh my god, this one almost froze to death. The heater on the train didn't turn on. The one on the train was cold, and I couldn't feel my feet. It's too painful."

At that time, trains were heated by conductors, and the plugs in each carriage were boilers. There were often unexplained incidents where the stoves were not fired.

Xiaowei's mother said: "Xiaohong will change your mother's shoes, hurry up and eat something warm, and let's go to bed and chat after we're done."

Xiaowei and Xiaohong were busy at work. Aunt Wang put on new shoes and her feet felt more comfortable. She sat down to eat at the dining table and drank a bowl of hot soup.

After dinner, Xiaowei's mother and Aunt Wang went to Aunt Wang's room to talk, and Xiaohong and Xiaowei cleaned up.

After tidying up and washing, putting away the dishes and chopsticks, cleaning the table, and clearing out the garbage, Xiaohong and Xiaowei came to Aunt Wang's room holding hands.

Both Xiaowei's mother and Aunt Wang took off their shoes and covered the quilt on the bed talking. Seeing two people come in, Xiaowei's mother said, "Come on, Xiaohong, I don't have enough firepower. Your mother didn't warm up. My feet are almost turning into lumps." .”
