After eating and drinking, the children felt sleepy one by one and wanted to rest. After receiving Zhang Tan's message, the parents came to pick them up one after another.
Grandma Yang was also taking care of Xiaonian's nap. Xiaonian was very happy today and was always in a state of excitement. It wasn't until her friends left one after another that she calmed down. Then she became tired and fell asleep lying on the small bed, her face
Still smiling.
Chen Yungui was clearing the table in the living room, especially the cakes, which were spread everywhere by the children. There were many uneaten pieces on the plates, which were wasted. He couldn't bear to leave them, so he collected them all and put them in bowls to eat later.
.
Yang Lan came out of the house and helped clean up, saying with emotion: "The house has never been so lively."
"You can invite them here more often in the future. Look how happy Xiaonian is today."
"But there's no time."
"Time will always find it. Oh, there are some cakes here, do you want to eat them?"
"I can't eat anymore."
"Then keep it and give it to Xiaonian to eat at night. She likes it very much and ate a lot today."
"If you like to eat, just eat some yourself and take it to work. If you are hungry at night, you can eat it."
"I'm not hungry."
After the two of them finished cleaning up, Chen Yungui asked Yang Lan to rest for a while, while he moved the ladder again and climbed up to the roof under the scorching sun. He had repaired one of the leaking areas before, and now he wanted to check other places, which might still be leaking.
It won't leak, but the tiles are seriously damaged and may not be able to withstand the next rain. It rains a lot in summer.
Sure enough, he found two flaws. He re-paved them with new tiles and confirmed that there were no other places that needed repairing. Then he carefully climbed down the stairs, came down from the roof, stood in the shade under the eaves, rested, and wiped.
I was sweating profusely on my forehead, and suddenly I felt a little dizzy, with signs of heatstroke. I quickly went to the kitchen and washed my face with cold water. I immediately sat on a chair in the living room, squinting my eyes and taking the time to rest for a while.
I don't know how long it took, but Chen Yungui woke up from his chair and found Yang Lan standing in front of him.
"Old man, it's time to go to work."
"Oh, is it already two o'clock?"
"It's half past one. It will take you half an hour on the way."
"Oh, I'm leaving then."
"There's something wrong with your face."
"I just woke up."
"Be careful on the road."
"Don't worry, you and Xiaonian stay safe at home."
"What danger can there be at home?"
Chen Yungui carried the yellowed thermos cup that his wife had filled with water for him, stood up and walked outside the house. His wife's instructions echoed in his ears, and he responded casually. He walked across the yard in a daze, and waved out the door.
, came to the alley.
He looked back and couldn't see his wife anymore. The wall blocked the connection between them.
He rubbed his old face vigorously to help himself wake up quickly. This was a sequelae of an afternoon nap.
He felt like he had slept for a long time, and he felt like he had just fallen asleep. It was now half past one, and he didn't know when he fell asleep, so he couldn't deduce how long he slept.
It's okay to rest, but Chen Yuangui said to himself that he feels a little dizzy, listless and listless at the moment.
He knew that he might have suffered a heat stroke when he went up to the roof at noon.
It's not a big problem, it will be fine if you sweat during work.
"I have to go to work." He said to himself.
His workplace is on West Chang'an Street, a high-end community, where he works as a property cleaner.
He was walking along the alley, thinking wildly. A year ago, he came here from the suburbs with his wife and granddaughter, and found several jobs. Either he failed the interview because of his age, or he was dismissed after a few days of probation.
, and finally he found his current job through the relationship with fellow villagers.
This fellow is from the same village. He works in the property management of this community and is responsible for security. He is considered a small leader.
However, after working for so long, Chen Yungui found that no matter whether he was a small leader or a big leader, he often had to be scolded by the owners and swallowed his anger, even though he was clearly justified in many cases.
This community is a high-end community. He often hears people around him say what kind of people live in this family, what kind of luxury car that family drives, and there are several such cars in the garage.
He doesn't know the manager, president, department director, or the brand of luxury cars. He only knows that these people are either rich or noble, and they are not the ones to blame. Therefore, fellow villagers often say in private that there is no need to fight with others if you have a correct position.
When the owners quarrel, the gains outweigh the losses, and the world will be brighter if you take a step back.
Of course he won't quarrel with the owner, and he never has any disputes with the people around him. He is old and can't stand the trouble. He is very satisfied with his current job and has a few thousand dollars in his account every month.
After being fired for some trivial matter, where would he find a job?
Some time ago, a colleague he knew was fired because an owner suspected him of stealing something, but he told Chen Yungui that he didn't steal the stuff, but picked it up from the trash can. He didn't dare to
To steal people's things.
No one knew whether what he said was true or not, but he never came again the next day.
That man was five years younger than Chen Yungui. He was an old man and lived in Huangjia Village. I met him in an alley a few days ago and said that he was now guarding the parking lot.
Chen Yungui thought about it, stopped, looked around, and found that he seemed to have taken the wrong road, and the surrounding environment was not familiar.
He must have taken the wrong road, and must have failed to pay attention at the fork.
He picked up the thermos flask, unscrewed the lid, and took two sips with the pungent smell of tea dirt. He felt refreshed and his dizziness improved.
He rediscovered his route and quickened his pace. If he was late, he would be deducted.
Finally, I arrived at the company before two o'clock. It was said to be a company, but in fact it was just a simple workstation. He drove a sweeper. He did not need to go to the community property company, but was at another station. Besides him, there were two other people at this station.
, everyone will take a break here and chat after work.
When Chen Yungui arrived, there was no one at the workstation. He took off his work clothes from the wall, changed his clothes, and carefully wiped the sweeper to prepare for the work that was about to begin.
He wiped it very carefully. People have said it more than once, does a sweeper need to be wiped like this? People who don't know think it is a Mercedes-Benz or BMW.
Chen Yungui never argued with them, but still wiped it carefully. In his heart, he often said to himself that this was his first car in his life, even though it was just a sweeper.
There were footsteps outside the door. It was the cleaner from another workstation who had arrived. The two met and chatted for a few words. The other party said, "Have you heard about it, Lao Chen?"
"What did you hear?" Chen Yungui asked. His colleague often knew all kinds of rumors. He didn't like to hear rumors, but he didn't reject them either.
"Have you heard about Lao Xu?"
He is a nice person, but he likes to be off-putting when he talks, and keeps half of what he says, not because he is tight-lipped, but because he is waiting for the person who is listening to take the initiative to ask.
"What happened to Lao Xu? I haven't heard about it."
Lao Xu was a plumber in the community and Chen Yungui knew him.
"Lao Xu was fired."
"...What's going on?" Chen Yungui asked in surprise.
"Well, speaking of it, Lao Xu brought it upon himself. He actually got into an argument with the hostess who lived in Villa No. 17. The argument was so fierce that it was said that he even jumped up and wanted to hit her..."
Chen Yungui listened to the other party's introduction and didn't believe that Lao Xu would jump up and hit someone. Although Lao Xu was a bit cunning, he was kind-hearted and had never even quarreled with anyone.
In short, the kind-hearted old Xu was fired and left with his bag.
Chen Yungui sighed and drove the sweeper to work.
