PS: Add more updates for Xiao Ershang, the 50th cute protagonist of this book!
Chen Yungui's job is relatively relaxing. He doesn't need to do the cleaning himself, he can just drive a sweeper.
An elderly woman poked her head out of the door of a villa, saw him, and asked, "Old Chen, have you seen my cat?"
"Did the cat get away? I didn't see it."
"I couldn't find my cat after I woke up from my nap. Is it lost? Lao Chen, do you have time? Please help me find the cat. Thank you."
How could a cat get lost? If it wanted to go, it would have done so on purpose. Chen Yungui said in his heart. He stopped the sweeper and said, "Okay, I'll look around first."
"It likes to hide in the bushes."
"Okay."
"Old Chen."
"Anything else?"
"You don't look right. Are you feeling unwell?"
"Maybe it's too hot."
"Yes, as soon as I came out of the house, I was sweating and sticky."
"Isn't that right? You should go back to the house and rest first. I will take care of finding the cat."
"Thank you, Lao Chen~"
Chen Yungui had to stop his work and help the owner find the cat. This sudden temporary job was very time-consuming, but it would be worse to refuse the owner directly. It is hard to say whether he can find the cat. The important thing is to find it.
This is a matter of attitude. If you look for it but don't find it, the owner won't say anything to him. Instead, he should remember something.
Chen Yungui found the cat in the bushes less than 50 meters away from her villa. The cat was covered in blue-gray hair and was sleek and shiny. It was a fat cat. Although it maintained the agility of a cat, it was actually a fat cat.
His body functions have dropped a lot, and he is like a flower in a greenhouse compared to a wild cat.
It is said that the cat's monthly rations cost several thousand.
The world of rich people is difficult to understand.
Chen Yungui knew the cat and relied on this relationship to get close to it and then caught it.
In fact, the cat had no intention of running and seemed to be unable to run. Chen Yungui thought it was injured somewhere. He looked up and down and found that it was healthy and had no wounds.
He took the cat back and handed it back to the female owner who had just woken up from her nap.
"Thank you, Lao Chen, you are always so reassuring when doing things."
"You're welcome, then I'll continue sweeping the floor."
"Hey, wait a minute."
"Anything else?"
"Wait for me."
Chen Yugui waited outside the villa for two or three minutes. When the other party came back again, there was something extra in his hand.
"You seem to be suffering from heat stroke. Don't take it seriously. Drink this Huoxiang Zhengqi water as soon as possible before it becomes serious."
"No, I'm fine."
"I'm getting older and the weather is hot. It's better to be careful. Drink it. You're welcome."
"...Then, thank you."
"You helped me find the cat. I want to thank you too. Just drink it and then do your work."
Lao Chen took the box of Huoxiang Zhengqi water, opened it, and took out a small can of 10ml. After unscrewing the lid, he drank it in one breath. It tasted bitter, but it was nothing to him. After drinking it
After drinking some water, I felt refreshed and continued working.
I had been a little dazed before, but after drinking Huoxiang Zhengqi water, I felt much better and my dizziness was gone. Lao Chen could feel that his signs of heatstroke had disappeared.
His job is not too tiring, but it is particularly difficult in the summer. He is often exposed to the scorching sun and sweats like rain.
But he has become accustomed to it, and a little sunshine is nothing. Besides, there are four seasons throughout the year, and as long as the summer is difficult, it is more comfortable to enjoy the sun in the other three seasons. Lao Chen often comforts himself like this.
As the sun gradually sets, there are more and more cars and people in the community. Many people go home from get off work. In the evening, Lao Chen packs up his things and drives his sweeper back to prepare for dinner.
He had to prepare dinner by himself and the company did not bear the responsibility. Lao Chen ate what Yang Lan prepared for him. Summer meals did not need to be heated, so he ate them cold.
The meal was very rich, including meat and fish, left over from lunch.
He was the only one on the site at the moment. He was sitting at a simple wooden table eating, and there were footsteps coming from outside.
"Uncle, are you eating?"
"Hey, have you eaten?"
What came in was a middle-aged man with a big shoulders and a round waist. He was a fellow villager of Lao Chen and was responsible for part of the security work in the community. He was the one who introduced Lao Chen to this job.
"I've eaten it. There's half a watermelon here for you to try to relieve the heat."
"You can eat it yourself and don't worry about me."
"I ate half of it. This is specially for you. The weather is so hot. I saw that you were suffering from being in the sun all afternoon. Uncle, you should pay attention to your health. Don't always run to the sun when sweeping the floor.
Our community is very green, with trees everywhere. If you go to places with tree shadows, no one will tell you anything."
"Hey, okay, I've remembered it." Old Chen said with a smile, "I really don't need the watermelon, you can take it back and eat it yourself."
"Is there a knife? Oh, here it is."
He directly cut the watermelon into seven or eight pieces, took one piece for himself, sat down and ate, "The rest is yours."
Lao Chen continued to eat and chat with him, and suddenly thought of Lao Xu who had been expelled.
"I heard that Lao Xu left?"
"Well, I left in the morning."
"I heard that I got fired because I had a quarrel with the owner and had to hit him?"
"I didn't mean to hit the owner, I just quarreled and scolded the other person. Alas, he provoked the person in the 9th villa after all. A small matter can turn into a big deal. At the time, I let out a sigh of relief and felt comfortable, but when I looked back, I was
If you get rid of it, the gain will outweigh the loss, and a small impatience will mess up the big plan."
"Then if he leaves, who will maintain the water and electricity in the community?"
"He is not the only plumber, there are several others."
"There are not enough manpower. Lao Xu used to be in charge of the villa area. If it were someone else, the owners of the villa area might not be at ease."
"That's right. This time, Lao Xu was fired because of the guy in Building 9. The owners of the other buildings actually had a lot of complaints, but it's just hard to say. After all, Lao Xu really cursed people, and the scolding was very... exciting."
"Are you recruiting people?"
"We definitely need to recruit people, uncle. I remember that you also know how to repair water and electricity."
"Yes, yes."
"How about you do it?"
"Is this possible?"
"Not to mention being a plumber is easier than your current job, and the salary is several times higher. If you really want to do it, I will fight for it for you."
Lao Chen put down his bowl and chopsticks, thought for a moment, and hesitated, "Is this okay?"
"I think it will work. Firstly, you know how to repair water and electricity, and secondly, you are an acquaintance of our community. I want you to take over Lao Xu's job and be responsible for the villa area. I think everyone can rest assured."
Chen Yungui couldn't help but feel excited.
The fellow went back to inquire about the news, and came back when he was about to get off work in the evening and told him that the company's manager Mei had no objection, but the premise was that Old Chen must have a plumber's employment certificate.
"Work certificate? What is this?"
"To be a plumber, you must have a certificate to prove that you can do this. Plumbing and electricity maintenance is dangerous. Without this certificate, you cannot work."
"Then how can I get this certificate?"
"You have to take the exam."
"...How to take the exam?...How about forgetting it? I'm a lot older and I have never taken any exam. I've never passed it."
…
After get off work in the evening, Lao Chen was worried, so he first came to Xiaohongma and picked up Xiaonian.
"Grandpa, everyone sang happy birthday to me again tonight. It was arranged by Teacher Xiaoliu."
Old Chen put his mind back and touched Xiaonian's head lovingly. He saw her withered and yellow hair, and then thought of the fat cat during the day, with its shiny and shiny hair.
His favorite little granddaughter eats less than a cat!
Lao Chen finally made up his mind to work hard to get a job as a plumber. If his salary increased several times, he would have money to buy nutritional supplements for Xiaonian and eat meat every few days. The child is now growing.
