Chapter 720: Brush, Flagpole, and Boss Lan's Business (3/4)
On Saturday morning, the rainy Jiangcheng ushered in a rare sunny weekend!
The weather was surprisingly good, and the white clouds were like torn marshmallows, and a few thin pieces floated lazily under the light blue sky. The warm sunlight illuminates the earth brightly, as if everything has been crossed with a layer of brilliant brilliance, the grass and leaves in the yard are verdant, the flower beds planted only a month ago are colorful, and even the windows of the villa are like glass reflecting colorful light!
Such good weather can naturally give people a good mood.
"Giggles, baba, I'm going to brush my shoes too!" Xixi's pleasant laughter came from the open door.
All the doors and windows of the villa are open today, usually turn on the heating, close the doors and windows, although there is air exchange, but after all, the breath is more turbid after a long time, and the continuous spring rain some time ago also breeds some damp mildew.
Passing the bun that was loyally guarding the door, I saw the figure of a little girl running happily past.
Xixi was dressed in an interesting way today, with her little pink, cartoon-patterned water boots on her feet and pale yellow/colored rubber gloves loosely on her hands.
This rubber glove is for adults, and Yang Yi bought it according to his own size, for Xixi, it is really big, and the glove mouth is almost covering her elbows!
But Xixi didn't care at all, she raised her two little arms to prevent them from slipping down, and even so, the little girl ran to her father's side happily like the wind.
"Won't you help Mom clean up the sheets and quilt covers? Dad doesn't need your help here. Yang Yi said with a smile.
He was brushing his shoes, at first he just wanted to scrub and clean the two pairs of small shoes that Xiao Yu couldn't wear, and then he simply took other shoes that could be washed at home, so that they could be dried while the weather was good.
Ma Ma said, Ma Ma said that she was going to use the washing machine and did not need my help. And give me this!" Xixi shook her little hand happily and showed her father the rubber gloves she was carrying.
Yang Yi saw that his daughter was so enthusiastic about wanting to help, so he didn't refuse, he took a small stool for Xixi to sit on, and then the father and daughter squatted in the toilet together to brush their shoes.
"You grab the heel, brush the soles of your shoes, and when the water flushes, the dirt will be gone!" Yang Yi gave her daughter a demonstration.
Xixi's bright eyes watched her father's operation, and she learned it in style.
I saw the little girl pick up her mother's pair of slippers with one hand, and grasp the long grip of the brush with the other hand a little awkwardly, and brush it up with difficulty.
"You are like this, grab here, is it easy to control the brush like this?" Yang Yi found that Xixi was different from himself, the little girl's hands were not so long, and the use of the brush was not flexible, so he taught her to grasp the middle of the grip.
Xixi brushed her mother's slippers again, but this time, she found that it was really not so hard! The little girl couldn't help but turn her head in surprise and said to her father, "Really!"
Yang Yi took the water pipe, flushed it on his daughter's brushed shoes, and said with a smile: "Yes, Dad will tell you a funny story, okay?"
"Okay!" Xixi replied happily.
To listen to her father's story, Xixi stopped what she was doing, grabbing her slippers with one hand and a brush with the other, but she looked at her father curiously.
Yang Yi turned off the faucet and said: "A long, long time ago, there was a person who was going to go outside the city with a long flagpole, and when he passed by the city gate, he found that his flagpole was too long to pass the city gate, what should I do?"
Yang Yi told the story, and in order to describe it more vividly, he also brought a brush and a plastic bucket as an analogy, the long brush is the flagpole, and the mouth of the plastic bucket is the city gate.
So, looking at her father gesturing there, the brush stuck in the mouth of the plastic bucket, although Xixi couldn't quite understand what the city gate was like, but combined with the door and the plastic bucket, she still had a general impression.
The little girl grinned, grabbed her brush, stuck it in the bucket vertically, and said, "You can put it in like this!"
"That's right!" Yang Yi snapped his fingers and said appreciatively, "Xixi, you're too smart!"
Xi Xi laughed a little embarrassedly.
Yang Yi continued: "But that person was stupid, so he didn't think that he could take the flagpole out from a different angle." And then an old man came, and when he heard about it, he said to this man, "You can cut off the flagpole and you can bring it over!"
Xi Xi saw that her father was gesturing in the middle of the brush, her brain was very flexible, and the corresponding image was formed at once, so she said in surprise: "It's okay!"
"Well, that's not wrong, because the flagpoles at that time were made of bamboo. But there's a catch. Yang Yi said, "After the flagpole is cut off, it can't be used as a flagpole, and if our brush is broken, it won't be as good as before." ”
Xixi was a little confused by her father's reversal, and she looked at her father in confusion: "Then what should I do?"
"So it's good to use the method you just said! You can take the flagpole out of the city gate intact!" Yang Yi said with a smile, "This story tells us a truth, there are many ways to deal with a thing, we should be flexible and learn to find the most labor-saving, the best use, and the most able solution to the problem! Just like you think it's not easy to use a brush like this, you can change the holding posture, there must be a suitable one for you!, right?"
Xixi understood this time, and she responded sweetly: "Hmm!"
Still continuing to brush her shoes, the little girl felt that the slippers just now were clean, so she changed to the slippers on the other foot.
Seeing this, Yang Yi quietly walked around his hand, took the slippers that Xixi put down just now, and brushed them up again.
Xixi is willing to help her parents work, Yang Yi feels that it is already rare, and he doesn't want to use his strict standards to scare off his daughter's enthusiasm.
……
I don't know how long it took, Yang Yi took Xixi, took the washed shoes, and other scrubbed waste items that were ready to be taken to the kindergarten to the yard to dry.
The father and daughter were busy, and the bun that was basking in the sun next to it suddenly stood up, but it sniffed and slowly fell down again, but its eyes were still looking at the gate of the courtyard.
After a while, Lanzhou Kai's chubby figure appeared at the door, accompanied by Lan Xin's cheerful shout: "Xixi!"
"Xin'er!" the little girl looked back in surprise.
The two little girls got together, and naturally they were talking and laughing. With a companion, Xixi can't care about helping her father work.
The pampered Boss Lan has a nanny at home, and his fingers don't touch the spring water, at this time, he is also standing next to Yang Yi, chatting with Yang Yi while watching Yang Yi string his shoes on the hanger and hang them.
The negotiation of the land in Jinling City has made a substantial breakthrough, and basically the price of the two sides has been negotiated, and only the final signature remains. I have to say that Lanzhou Kai has a strong ability in real estate!
In the past few months in Jinling City, Lanzhou Kai not only negotiated with the Wucheng County Government about the land that Yang Yi wanted, but also talked about the surrounding hundreds of acres of building land that has not yet been expropriated!
These lands, Lanzhou Kai told Yang Yi that even if the playground is not used at that time, he can use it for commercial development, build shopping malls and hotels around the playground, rent or sell them, and make a lot of money!
Of course, we are still waiting for the submission of the report, the approval of the Jiangnan Provincial Department, and the final signature. Lanzhou Kai came back this time, and he also secretly wanted to participate in his daughter's parent-child activities.
"You came over today, shouldn't you be looking for me to ask for scrap items?" Yang Yi looked at Lanzhou Kai vigilantly, this guy found that he was very good at educating his children, and often threw Lan Xin here, like some math homework in kindergarten, let Yang Yi come to Lan Xin to tutor.
Sometimes, Yang Yi really wanted to ask him: "Xin'er is your daughter or my daughter?"
Of course, this is also just a joke. Yang Yi has such a good relationship with Lanzhou Kai, Yang Yi can be called the godfather of Lan Xin. It's just that Yang Yi and Lanzhou Kai are not religious, and they don't have the habit of calling these strange names.
Lanzhou Kai said with a smile: "Don't use the waste items, our family has asked Grandma Wu to clean up a batch, but you say, when the time comes, on Monday, don't forget to come over to help Xin'er after making your Xixi's handicrafts, or we can do it together, you know I don't have any talent for handicrafts." ”
"Then what did you just say you wanted to talk to me about?" Yang Yi asked curiously.
"The problem of school! Xin'er and Xixi are going to primary school in the second half of the year, should we also consider what primary school to choose for our children?"
