Chapter 124 What Are You Doing With a Mop?

Since He Xidong joined the physics competition team, it was almost six o'clock when he came home from school.

Fortunately, after the new year, the days are getting longer. At six o'clock, although the sun has set early, the sky is not too dark.

He Wei was watering the flowers and plants on the balcony, and saw her elder brother's slender figure flashing downstairs in the unit, put down the watering can, ran to open the door, and said to He Mu in the kitchen, "Mom, brother is back."

"Then get ready for dinner."

Mother He put the last steaming casserole on the table, and called to her daughter's room: "Yanyan, dinner is ready, are you hungry?"

"Oh." Zhang Yan came out of the room in response, washed her hands in the bathroom, and then sat down at the dining table.

The whole series of movements were so smooth and flowing that it made Hemu, who originally wanted to greet her to sit down and not be polite, choked.

Then I thought of Zhang Yan's behavior in her grandmother's house, that is, her own mother's house. It seemed to be the same, and it might be a habit formed at home.Then I thought about it, most of the children of this age are like this, most of them are used to being parents.

Just as he was thinking, there was movement at the door.

The mother turned her head and saw her daughter handing the slippers to her son. After handing the slippers, she took the heavy schoolbag from the son and put it on the sofa. She couldn't help but feel relieved: not all children of this age are spoiled sensible.Like their family, Weiwei is very good. Even if she is pulled to prevent her from doing housework, she will take the opportunity to help out.

"What are you doing in a daze?" He's father went to the wood factory to buy goods in the afternoon, and when he came back, he was carrying wood and cleaning the attic. When he came out of the room, he saw He Mu standing at the dining table in a daze, and asked in confusion.

Only then did Hemu come back to her senses, and went back to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks.

"Mom, I'll serve the meal." He Wei drove her brother to wash his hands, and went into the kitchen to help serve the meal.

"No, it's fine if Mom comes, you can sit with your eldest cousin."

After doing some comparisons in her heart, He Mu felt that her daughter was really too good, so she couldn't help but want to treat her better.

Zhang Yan sat at the dining table, but her mind was not on the dining table. She looked east and west, looked at the layout of the dining room and the living room, and after He Wei's family was at the table, she asked He Mu in a roundabout way: "Second Aunt , I remember the last time I came to Qingshi, you were still living in the dormitory of the furniture factory, how did you move out later?"

"Didn't my aunt and uncle tell you? My parents have been laid off a long time ago, and the dormitory has also been taken back by the furniture factory."

He Xidong has always disliked this cousin, and always felt that she was very contrived, and she had to act as if she didn't know what she knew, and she didn't know what she was thinking, or was it just to expose the scars of their family?
"I heard them mention the matter of being laid off, but I didn't know that the dormitory was also taken back."

Zhang Yan answered in a dazed manner.He Xidong scolded bloody in his heart.Ask what's wrong?Do you deserve to be so aggressive?

"At that time, Second Aunt, your family must have had a hard time, right?"

"No matter how hard it is, it's all over." Before eating, the mother took a few chopsticks dishes for the three children in turn, and said with a smile: "But having said that, if you don't get laid off, your uncle and I may come Now I am still living in a furniture factory with a dead salary of [-] yuan and living in a staff dormitory of about [-] square meters. In this way, I have to thank the furniture factory. Without their ruthlessness, we would not be forced Once you open your own shop and do business, you won’t have such a prosperous and happy life now, don’t you think, Lao He?”

Father He nodded, "That's true."

"Uncle's woodware shop, is the business going well?"

Zhang Yan asked like this, but she thought in her heart: Can't it?This house does not look cheap. With the money earned by the second aunt and his wife from opening a store, they can afford such a large school district house and shop in just a few years?
"It's okay, it's better than when we were in the factory."

"Second aunt must be modest. If it's only better than the factory, she can't afford such a big house." Zhang Yan wanted to inquire about the value of the He family's house, and whether it was all earned by the wood shop. here.

He Xidong squinted his eyes when he heard the words, raised his head and glanced at Zhang Yan, stopped what his mother was about to say, and said slowly: "Our house was bought with a mortgage from the bank, and it was divided into 20 years. .”

"If you don't tell me, I thought I bought it in full." Zhang Yan laughed.

No wonder!She thought to herself: She just said, if there is such a good profit in opening a woodware shop, everyone will rush to open it.Even if you don't know how to do it, you can hire someone to do it.

Now He Xidong said that the house was bought with a mortgage, and he owed a large loan to the bank. The monthly interest is several thousand. The little money that the second uncle earned was all used to pay back the bank, and he pouted secretly, finally I no longer drag He Mu to ask about the house.

At first, He Mu didn't understand why her son was lying, but then she realized that the house in their house was used by her daughter's lottery winnings. The father gave him a wink, indicating that he is not allowed to interrupt, and let his son make up a mess.In the end, he was relieved to see that his niece stopped chasing after him asking questions.

"I didn't expect Yanyan to have a lot of eyes, and she almost let her tongue out. Fortunately, Dongzi is clever."

After dinner, it was almost eight o'clock, and the next day was not a rest day. They went to work and went to school, so they went back to their rooms without much chatting.

He Mu entered the master bedroom, took a deep breath, and was very grateful.

Seeing her exaggerated expression, Father He felt amused: "It sounds like your niece is trying to trick you."

"Not to mention, I really feel this way." He Mu muttered and made the bed, walked into the bathroom of the master bedroom, was about to brush her teeth and wash her face, when she saw a few long hairs on the ground out of the corner of her eyes, she squatted down suspiciously.

This bathroom has always been used by myself and Lao He. My son and daughter rarely come in. Whose long hair could it be?

Daughter's?

He Mu copied a piece of toilet paper, twisted the hair on the ground, and looked at the light to make sure it wasn't her daughter's.

The daughter's hair is black and soft, unlike these hairs, which are thick and hard, and the ends of the hair are dry and split with several ends.

Just wondering, I suddenly remembered that in the afternoon, my niece seemed to visit the rooms one by one, and the master bedroom also came in. Could it be that she was left behind?

Thinking of this, Hemu frowned, wrapped all the hair on the ground with toilet paper, and threw it into the trash can.

Looking back, she found a small puddle of water stains on the side of the toilet base. She loves to clean, so she didn't wash her face in a hurry. She went to the balcony to get a rag, and planned to wipe the bathroom floor thoroughly.

Finally, I ran into my daughter on the balcony and saw her holding a flat-bottomed mop for mopping the floor in her hand. She asked suspiciously, "Weiwei, what are you doing with the mop when you don't sleep at night?"
