"Old Dou, Old Dou, Old Dou's mother, it's a big deal!"
At around three o'clock in the night, Boss Guang was patting the door of Old Dou's mother's room frantically. The shouting woke up everyone else at home before waking up Old Dou's mother. Everyone gathered around the boss and asked him what was wrong. He didn't say anything but still slapped Old Dou's mother's door. Old Dou panicked. He opened the door and saw that everyone was there and no one was in trouble, so he calmed down and asked calmly: "What's the matter?"
"I just turned off the sound for a while, and the coal stove was It went out for no reason," the boss said in a panic.
"It's turned off again?" Mom glared at him and said dissatisfied: "What did you do? Why did you doze off when I asked you to be on duty?"
The boss just said Explained: "I don't want to either. What can I do if the two eyelids have to stick together?"
Kang Qirui took a step forward and smoothed things over: "If it goes out, just let it pass through again. It's no big deal. Let's go back to sleep. Second brother, call your cousin Bing tomorrow and ask him to get some branches from the countryside. Pine trees are easy to pass through. Come out." He thought for a while and then said: "By the way, boss, go buy a piece of iron sheet and make it into a furnace sealing iron tomorrow. If you don't know how to make it, Uncle Guan also uses a coal stove, so you can borrow it from him. Just come back and do the furnace sealing iron.”
Big Brother Guang’s hands-on ability is still very strong. He basically does all the carpentry, plumbing and electrical work at home. It’s as simple as a piece of furnace sealing iron. Kang Qirui felt that there was absolutely no problem with Big Brother Guang's ability.
This thing is relatively simple for the boss Guang. He went to Uncle Guan's place and took a look and remembered what it looked like. It only took me five minutes to make two of them when I got home, so I wasn't afraid of losing them now.
"Auntie and uncle." In the afternoon, cousin Bing came to Kang's house carrying a big sack, "It's a good thing, auntie and uncle."
"What good things are you bringing? Honor your aunt?" Mom said with a smile.
Cousin Bing took the lead in taking out a few large sunflower fans from the sack, and then took out a few pairs of wooden clogs. "Hey, what are you doing with these? No one wears clogs now." Cousin Bing brought out a pile of dust, and my mother waved her hand and said.
"If you don't wear it, just put it through the furnace. You can leave it at home anyway." Cousin Bing smiled and introduced other things he took out, such as pine Mingzi fire water and so on.
Lao Dou’s mother originally wanted to keep cousin Bing at home for dinner, but cousin Bing said there were things to do at home and rushed home without even eating. Xiugu also came back today. After she finished cooking dinner, she went to Lao Dou and said that her job did not include boiling coal stoves, and she didn't know how to do it.
Usually, Xiu Gu has three meals a day at the Kang family and does hygiene and laundry. The Kang family does all the heavy work such as changing gas and water. So this time Xiu Gu said that she didn't know anything about Lu Lao Dou and didn't force her. Xiu Gu went home from get off work after getting the truth.
"Now my cousin has brought a lot of materials for the furnace. At this time, I want everyone to learn the furnace." Lao Dou once again called everyone for a meeting, and he didn't want to do it by himself every time. Through the furnace.
"Ahhhhh??" The second guy immediately became stressed.
"What are you arguing about? I haven't finished speaking yet." Lao Dou asked everyone to quiet down first, and then said: "This is not only my meaning, but also your mother's meaning."
< br>Mom continued what Lao Dou said: "Let me tell you, before the gas price drops, coal stoves will be used for a long time. Don't you stop eating when we go out? Xiugu's job does not include burning coal stoves Yes, we can’t just give them more work.”
“You can order food,” the second guy said.
Kang Qirui thought for a while and said, "If you are not there when you go out, let Xiugu use the gas. Now we need gas for cooking. How much can we use?" He paused and then said: " And waiting for the price of gas to drop? Our school has also been paying attention to the price trend of international crude oil recently. Professors and teachers from the School of Finance and Economics think that crude oil has a high chance of exceeding 80 US dollars this year. It is only 64 US dollars now, and it will still rise for a long time. ”
"How long do you really have to wait until the gas price drops before using gas? Those few dollars are really unnecessary." Kang Qirui glanced at Lao Dou secretly, and then continued: "Old Dou, you want to use a coal stove? I don’t object, but there is no need to force everyone to use it.”
Lao Dou’s mother wants to play with the coal stove, and Kang Qirui is willing to stay on duty at night to play with them, but Kang Qirui doesn’t want to play with them. Very willing. Lao Dou glared at Kang Qirui and said to himself: "What I mean is, whoever learns how to pass the furnace will not have to be on duty at night."
The boss's eyes suddenly lit up , he said excitedly: "That's different, I promise to learn this kind of thing in no time."
Kang Qirui glanced at the excited boss Guang, and said speechlessly: "Boss, what are you doing today? I only made two pieces of furnace sealing iron. Remember to add coal to seal the furnace at night. It will be burning until morning. Why do you need someone on duty?" The boss was stunned. Others also reacted. This old Dou Doesn’t saying it mean that you didn’t say it?
Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm suddenly dropped, Mom had no choice but to say: "Whoever learns how to open the furnace, I will reward you."
"Mom, if you have a reward, you might as well teach Xiu Gu, and then become The bonus can be used as overtime pay or awarded to Xiugu," Kang Qirui said. The mother snorted and stood up and said: "Oh, you are just trying to confront me, aren't you?"
Kang Qirui pulled the mother to sit down, fanned her again, and persuaded: "I just feel that I hired a nanny and did the work myself. Isn’t that a waste of money? Why don’t we give Xiugu some money and let her take care of the furnace? Use gas." Old Dou glanced at Kang Qirui, he was considering it from a cost perspective.
Kang Qirui shrugged his shoulders and said slowly: "You decide for yourself. Actually, Mrs. Dou, you don't have to worry too much. Anyway, there is a sealing iron now, so it won't be a problem if it keeps burning for a long time. Briquettes are only two cents.”
Although what Kang Qirui said was true, Old Dou's mother still went back to her room angrily. The boss Guang and Xianglan looked at each other and chased after each other. In order not to displease the two elders, they promised Lao Dou's mother to take on the responsibility of running the coal furnace when they were not at home.
"Mom, let me just say we are smart, right? It has only been two hours since Xianglan and I have already learned how to see through the coal stove." The boss waited for two hours and finally saw through the coal stove, "Yes What kind of reward? "
"A bowl of sugar water for each of you two," the mother said with a smile. Boss Guang and Xianglan didn't say anything. They were satisfied that Old Dou's mother was happy.
Lao Dou’s mother and boss Guang Xianglan were each eating a bowl of sugar water, while the others didn’t have a share and were watching TV with empty hands.
"Kang Bo." Director Ye of the subdistrict office knocked on the door outside, and then walked into Kang's house, "Everyone is here? Haven't you had midnight snack yet?" Director Ye called everyone. He said hello, and then said to Lao Dou: "Uncle Kang, I'm sorry, I want to trouble you. My mother bought a coal stove, but who knew it couldn't be penetrated through the furnace? I don't know why. I want to ask you to help. Help.”
"Director Ye, you don't need to go out for this kind of thing, I will help you. I will go after finishing this bowl of sugar water." Guang, the boss who had just learned how to open the furnace, looked proud.
"Aguang, you know how to pass the furnace?" Director Ye sighed with emotion, and then said: "Okay, you eat slowly, I will wait for you."
Continue In the next few days, many neighbors came to ask the boss to come to teach them how to do the oven. Sometimes they were even asked to leave while they were eating. After the boss came back from helping another family, he sat down and said: "This kind of thing is really annoying, and I can't even have a peaceful meal. I'm not saying I won't help them, but you have to let me finish the meal, right?"
He was pulled away from the dining table in the middle of his meal just now. Now that he is back, everyone else has already eaten and the food is cold, so he complained.
The second sister-in-law rolled her eyes and suggested: "You find him annoying, right? It's very simple. Turn such annoying things into money, this is a market economy. Where there is a market, there is an economy. Well, if you're bothered, then put up a sign outside saying 'Valet furnace, paid service', fifty yuan per person."
"Ah?" Is this okay? Everyone was surprised. Generally speaking, everyone might think that the person in the family who is best at business is either Kang Qirui or the second brother or Xingzi. But they didn't expect that the person with the most business talent in the family is the second sister-in-law? (End of this chapter)
