In the evening, Xu Dong and his wife lay in bed and discussed the future of the twins.

Yang Lina said with a worried face:

"Coco's grades are barely okay, and it should be no problem to be admitted to an ordinary university in the future.

What to do with Coke? I have never failed my math grades, and it is estimated that there is no drama in college, and it will be difficult for girls to find jobs in the future if they don't go to college. ”

Speaking of which, Yang Lina also blames herself.

When the twins went to kindergarten, it was almost the time when she was pregnant with her second child, and after Dabao and the three of them were born, she had no energy to care about the sisters' studies.

herded sheep all the way, and it turned out to be what it is today.

Xu Dong waved his hand, and said nonchalantly: "But how old are they, they won't go to college until ten years later, and it's still early!" ”

And it won't take 10 years, starting this year, to dramatically raise the threshold for university admissions and replace it with an expansion of vocational education.

Because, in the future, whether it is emerging industries such as desalination plants, plantation factories and marine aquaculture, or the industrial chain supporting them, a large number of professional and technical workers are needed.

Based on the academic performance of the two daughters, Xu Dong estimates that the probability of the two of them being admitted to university in the future is infinitely close to zero.

In this case, it is better to let them live happily, and after graduation, he will think of a way to see if he can find some relationship and stuff the two directly into the state-owned enterprise.

Wouldn't it be nice to live a life in peace and stability like this, why bother tossing yourself and your children!

Yang Lina shook her head: "No, wait a few more years, it will be completely late." I think it's better to take advantage of the winter vacation to find a tutor for the two of them. ”

"How does this work?" Xu Dong refused, "I promised to find a violin teacher for the two of them during the winter vacation and learn violin well." ”

"It's okay, you can learn violin in the morning and make up lessons in the afternoon, so you don't have to delay."

Xu Dong still shook his head again and again: "To learn the piano, you must study seriously, and you can't be distracted!" Besides, it's never too late to make up for what classes you have in elementary school. ”

"You're used to them!" Yang Lina pinched her husband's arm hard.

"Alright!"

Xu Dong forcibly hugged his wife into his arms and comforted:

"You, don't worry about it, with our family's economic conditions, plus your husband and I have some connections in our hands, but they won't have to worry about a way out in the future.

What's more, Dad's career is getting bigger and bigger, and if he can't do it, he can still go to work in his own company, and Dad's side can still treat his granddaughter badly? ”

"That's a good thing, Dad's company doesn't know if it can go on, you see this time it's because of the cold wave, and I almost can't even pay my salary." Yang Lina complained.

Xu Dong naturally knew about this, but in the final analysis, his own company was expanding too fast, and the capital chain was tight.

Fortunately, this time, Seven Star Xia Chuang took the initiative to prepay a large amount of money, otherwise Dad Xu and they would definitely not have survived the difficulties so easily.

"Don't worry, I told my dad not to expand blindly in the future, with this lesson, I think he will also be more restrained, and there will definitely be no similar problems in the future." Xu Dong explained.

Yang Lina pouted: "Who can say what will happen in the future, but the two of them only have to do a good job in their studies, and they will have a way out wherever they come." ”

"I don't believe your husband, do you?" Xu Dong patted his wife's buttocks and said with a wicked smile:

"Looks like I'm going to give you a good taste."

……

The next day was the day when Ma Lingling's sister and brother came to Yanjing, and Xu's mother started to work early in the morning.

I just dried the quilt here, and then I went to the chicken coop and grabbed a big rooster, saying that I wanted to make up for the sister and brother.

Because the high-speed rail has not been fully restored just after the cold wave, Ma Lingling's sister and brother did not arrive in Yanjing until more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Because it happened to be the weekend, Xu Dong personally drove his eldest niece and eldest nephew back.

As soon as she got home, what Ma Lingling wanted to do most was not to eat, but to take a bath.

Luyang is not as good as Yanjing, not near the sea, and cannot build a desalination plant.

The lakes and lakes in the territory dried up two months ago, and the city can only barely maintain the operation of the whole city with limited groundwater resources.

When it comes to the daily water consumption of residents, for example, a family of four is about four liters a day, which is about the capacity of eight bottles of Coke.

In this case, not to mention taking a bath, even washing your face is a luxury.

Fortunately, before leaving, Xu Ting spent 3,000 yuan to buy a small half bucket of water from the black market, so that the two sisters and brothers could wash their faces well.

Next, I washed two sets of clothes with washing water, which can be regarded as maintaining a little decency, so as not to let the sister and brother go to Yanjing to be embarrassed.

As for the rest, I can't take care of it for the time being.

Mother Xu grabbed the only granddaughter, afraid that the sister and brother would starve on the train, so she insisted:

"Grandma stewed chicken for you, let's eat first, and it's not too late to take a bath after eating."

"Grandma, look at my arms, are they all black?" Ma Lingling simply rolled up her sleeves and put it directly in front of Mother Xu.

I haven't taken a shower for most of the year, and the situation can only be said to be very bad.

Mother Xu looked at it fixedly, and she didn't persuade her, so she pulled the two sisters and brothers and walked towards the bathroom, and at the same time didn't forget to instruct: "Third child, you go and find two sets of new clothes for Lingling and Xiaoxu." ”

"Got it." Xu Dong nodded.

There are a lot of clothes in his warehouse, and Xu Dong has basically stocked up on the clothes of the children from childhood to adulthood.

So it's still easy to find two sets of similar clothes for Ma Lingling's sister and brother.

With Yang Lina's help, in less than ten minutes, Xu Dong found all the clothes, from underwear and underwear to jackets, including shoes and socks.

"Mom, I've left my clothes at the door."

"Got it."

Mother Xu replied as she put water into the bathtub.

Since the desalination plant in Jinmen began to supply water, the water crisis in the capital has come to an end temporarily.

Nowadays, although it is not possible to provide 24-hour water supply, it can still be guaranteed for three or four hours a day, plus there is a large water tank at home, so it is still no problem to take a bath.

After putting the water away, Mother Xu asked casually, "Do you want grandma to help you rub your back?" ”

"No, I'll just wash it myself." Ma Lingling hurriedly replied.

"Okay, then I'll help Xiao Xu wash."

Ma Xu didn't have such a good treatment, he could only use a large plastic basin to take a bath, and it was in the yard, after all, the bathroom had been occupied by his sister.

"Grandma, can we go to the house and wash it." Looking at his twin cousins not far away, Ma Xu said shyly.

"It's not convenient to get water in the house, and you can bask in the sun in the yard, so you're not afraid of the cold." The cold spell has only passed, and the temperature is still very cool in the evening.

"Shame ......"

The twins hid behind the living room door and laughed uncontrollably.

Ma Xu's face turned even redder, but he couldn't resist his grandmother, so he could only cover his crotch and sit in the plastic basin.
