Chapter 880: Five to Nine Nights
Half an hour later, the eldest son's house arrived.
What catches your eye is a Western-style three-storey small western-style building, with white exterior walls, pointed roofs, and a small courtyard of 100 square meters after entering the door, which is lush and looks warm.
"Son, come out quickly, do you see who's coming?"
Dabao shouted into the house.
Soon a little boy who looked like he was eight or nine years old ran out excitedly, Xu Dong laughed and stretched out his arms, but the little guy came to him and suddenly stopped, as if a mouse had seen a cat.
"Grandpa? How are you? ”
Xu Dong stepped forward and knocked on the head of his second grandson, pretending to be angry and said: "Grandpa worked hard and came all the way to see you, you have this attitude?" ”
"I didn't, I just didn't expect grandpa you to come to Feizhou, I also talked to grandma on the phone last night, grandma they were so uninteresting, they actually hid it from me."
Little Seaweed subconsciously shrunk her neck.
It's the same as when his dad was a child.
"Your grandma wants to surprise you."
Xu Dong explained casually.
Xiao Haizao couldn't help but pout, where is this surprise, it's just a fright, grandpa is in his mind, that is a stricter person than the head teacher.
The little guy is a naughty trickster, and he doesn't like to study since he was a child, so he has been beaten before.
Niuniu followed and walked over: "Dad, are you hungry?" There are noodles in the pot, do you want to have some? ”
"I'm not hungry, Lele made a lot of snacks, and we ate them on the plane." Xu Dong waved his hand, and then ordered: "Just make a pot of tea, I'll check the learning of the little seaweed later." ”
Xu Dong has always been very concerned about his grandchildren's studies, as the old saying goes, "you can't be rich for three generations", and their old Xu family's family business can't let their grandchildren lose.
It's really not a "good time" for losers.
No matter where they are born, the life of ordinary people is not easy at all, especially in the past few years, the whole world combined, at least 10% of the population starved to death.
For the sake of the lives of the younger generations, this family business must be preserved no matter what, and if there are many grandchildren, it is not rare at all.
"Dad, eat as much as you want! It's not good to eat too much cold food, so eat something hot to warm your stomach. ”
Niu Niu hurriedly persuaded.
Xu Dong nodded and did not refuse again.
After the eldest daughter-in-law left, he patted Xiaohaizao's back with his hand: "Why are you still stunned, hurry up and get the winter vacation homework, grandpa will check it himself." ”
"Grandpa, I haven't finished writing yet?"
The little seaweed had a bitter face, trying to get by.
"School is going to start in a few days, why haven't you finished writing yet? Stop talking nonsense, go get your homework book. Xu Dong said with a straight face.
Xiao Haizao stole a glance at his father, and Dabao shrugged his shoulders and replied with a gesture that he couldn't help.
Five minutes later, Xu Dong was eating noodles while checking his second grandson's homework, good guy, where is this not finished, there is not much written at all.
The little seaweed next to him scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry.
Dabao hurriedly explained: "Dad, this year is the first year of post-disaster reconstruction, especially during the Chinese New Year, I am too busy, and Niuniu and I don't bother to check the learning of the little seaweed." ”
"No matter how busy you are at work, you can't ignore the education of your children, what about just one of you around you, so you can't manage it? Will you have it in the future? ”
Xu Dong put down his rice bowl, he was full of anger.
"Dad, don't be angry." Niuniu immediately ran over and persuaded her, "I discussed it with Dabao, and when he becomes the chairman, I will stay at home with the children with peace of mind, and the little watermelon and little edamame will come over in the second half of the year, and no one at home will take care of it." ”
"Don't be tired, you can't hire two nannies."
The eldest daughter-in-law has not been easy these years, and Xu Dong must give the other party.
Niuniu shook her head: "My dad and my mom will come together in the second half of the year, with their help, the family doesn't need to hire a nanny for the time being." ”
Although Maputo is generally stable, there are many foreign workers in the industrial zone, and the security is not as good as imagined, and there are several vicious cases every year, and even tragic cases have occurred.
It's more reliable to be your own family.
After all, the personal safety of children is at stake, and no matter how careful they are, they can't be too careful.
"It's great that my in-laws can come over."
Xu Dong smiled and nodded, then pulled the second grandson to his side and personally tutored the homework.
The little seaweed is simply crying without tears at this time.
He originally planned to go to the apricot classmate in two days to borrow the other party's winter vacation homework for "reference", but now it's good, grandpa is all in the soup when he comes.
……
Early the next morning, had breakfast.
Dabao saw that his father was idle and bored, so he proposed to go for a walk outside and visit the industrial area by the way, after all, his father had not been here for more than three years.
Xu Dong thought about it, and there would be guests coming to the door later, and he wouldn't be able to go too far, so he nodded and agreed.
As for our little seaweed, we were "writing hard" in the bedroom at this time, and Grandpa said that we should check today's results before dinner.
If you don't complete the task, not only will all your pocket money be confiscated, but you will also be spanked.
The little one was terrified.
Because grandpa never joked, whether it was good or bad, he always did what he said.
Out of the gate, the father and son walked along the main road for less than ten minutes, and Xu Dong couldn't help but wonder:
"Is today a special day? It's early in the morning, and there's not even a ghost on the road? ”
"Dad, the factories here in Maputo generally work two shifts, and the day shift starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m. It's only eight o'clock now, and it's still early before the shift change! ”
"Why isn't it eight in the morning to eight in the evening?"
"Ahem, on the one hand, local workers are reluctant to work night shifts, they only accept 9-to-5 work hours, and on the other hand, factory owners don't want to pay more overtime, so they simply let foreign workers work night shifts."
Dabao explained casually.
Xu Dong made a silent calculation in his heart, and instantly became surprised: "According to what you say, don't those foreign workers have to work fifteen hours a day?" ”
"Fifteen hours, indeed."
Dabao nodded.
"What about wages? How much do they get a month? ”
"Get rid of the food and drink, maybe two or three thousand!"
"So low? What about the wages of regular workers? ”
Xu Dong frowned unconsciously.
The minimum wage in Sydney City is 3,500 yuan, and this is not counting overtime pay, if you add six or seven hours of overtime pay, it can definitely be easily 10,000 yuan a month.
"The regular number of workers is higher than that in China, about seven or eight thousand per month!"
Xu Dong was curious: "Is there such a lack of labor?" What is the total population of Philippines today? ”
"According to the official figures, about 58 million, less than 60 million. Especially in the last three or four years, the flow of immigrants has almost stagnated, and to tell the truth, the labor gap is indeed not small. ”
