…
When Huang's father brought Huang Wenbin in,
Xu Mengyao had just finished a bowl of mung bean soup and asked curiously:
"Back so soon? Where did you guys park?"
Huang Wenbin also lay down on the sofa tiredly, rubbed his temples, and replied:
"Those who live in the city can park in our family compound. Dad told them to drive the remaining six cars back to the mine. There's no safer place to park them than in the mine."
His voice was a little hoarse and his hands kept beating his waist. It was obvious that a day's driving was a bit tiring for him.
"Dad is really thoughtful." Xu Mengyao said admiringly.
She then deliberately gave Huang's father a little praise. Over the past few years, through her unremitting efforts, everyone in the family has been injected with new vitality and has grown rapidly. Now, she just needs to formulate a detailed plan for the coal business. The rest will depend on her eldest brother and father leading the fleet.
Thinking of this, she felt a little smug. She had been leveling up for years, her teammates leveling up faster than each other. Only when everyone else in the family was busy could she stop and relax and enjoy life. It was like playing King of Glory with a healer. As long as her teammates were strong, she could easily destroy the enemy crystal by just giving them a little healing from time to time.
"Juan, the water is ready, come and take a shower."
Huang's mother's gentle voice came from outside the door, interrupting her thoughts. Xu Mengyao responded and quickly got up and walked towards the bathroom.
Sitting in the big wooden barrel to relax my brain, the warm water wrapped around my body. After a while, I felt that I could not open my eyelids. I returned to the room and fell asleep, soundly and dreamlessly.
It was not until noon that she woke up slowly because she felt hungry.
I was a little dizzy from sleeping, my limbs were limp and scattered on the bed, and I slowly came to my senses.
At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, Xiaomei poked her head in, and saw that she had woken up.
Smiling and scolding: "Are you awake? How was your sleep? Auntie has started to make lunch."
Xu Mengyao sniffed the fragrance in the air.
"My mom is making braised pork."
"Your nose is quite sensitive. Why are you so tired this time?" Xiaomei asked curiously.
"Oh no, I have nine energetic male elders who are seeing Haicheng for the first time above me, and Wenxia, who is a nuisance below me. Grandpa Qi and Grandma Qi are old, so I don't want to trouble them all the time. Chen Chen has something to do at home and can't come, so I took them shopping by myself! On the way back, I was worried that something unexpected would happen. In short, my brain is so tired every day." Xu Mengyao complained.
"You've worked really hard, but..." Xiaomei changed the subject and took out the notebook hidden behind her, "But I still need to go over the accounts of these days with you."
When Xu Mengyao heard this, she immediately buried her head in the quilt and said sullenly, "I don't want to listen. My brain needs a rest now."
Seeing this, Xiaomei shook her head helplessly, but a gentle smile hung on the corner of her mouth. "Okay, then you lie down for a while, and we'll talk after dinner and the meeting."
After lunch,
The family sat in the living room for a meeting as usual.
Huang's father was the first to break the silence:
"It's a good thing you're back. According to the daily transportation quantity set by Xiaomei, the four drivers at the mine have been complaining about their work these days. I gave them some extra gas money and a cigarette, and only then did I manage to calm them down." There was a hint of helplessness in his words.
"It's normal to complain. Five cars have to run non-stop, and four people must be even more tired." Xu Mengyao nodded in understanding and then offered her own suggestion:
"Tomorrow our car will be able to take over. The cars in Hai City are cheaper than ours, and I also bought a spare car, so they can come and make a trip if they have free time. If those comrades of Big Brother want to earn some extra money during their off-duty, we'd also welcome them, so that everyone else can take turns to rest."
Father Huang nodded. "Okay, I'll tell them later. So, do we have to change the departure time of each bus?"
"Yes, we don't have to leave at the same time. Queuing up for loading and unloading will only waste time. It will be more efficient if each vehicle leaves half an hour apart." Xu Mengyao first agreed with Huang's father's words, and then continued:
"Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you. Drivers are hard to find. When our coal business really takes off, we'll need more people. But now everyone wants a stable job with benefits and housing to start a family. So if we want to keep people here, we have to help them solve their housing problem. I promised to subsidize their rent. When I make money, I want to buy a piece of land and then find someone to build a house for them to live in."
Huang's mother asked in surprise, "Just like our family compound?"
"Yes, let's set up a company and they will all be our employees. We will then clear a piece of land specifically for parking our cars, which will be safe. We will also build a few more houses and give one to grandma and grandma respectively." Xu Mengyao planned a beautiful blueprint.
Huang's father frowned and said disapprovingly, "You're too imaginative, kid. Can you just build a house? How much will it cost?"
"This is our family's goal. As long as we dare to dream, we can achieve anything. Don't worry, Dad. We can buy land and build houses and then sell them to make a lot of money, or rent them out on a monthly basis." Xu Mengyao said in a firm tone.
Before Huang's father could say anything, Huang's mother immediately expressed her support:
"I think Juan is right. We must build a house, and a big one at that. Our house in our hometown was washed away, and the house at the mine was given up. Now we live in Maomao's yard. Anyway, I have to have my own home. Mom supports you in buying land and building a house."
Seeing his wife's clear position, Huang's father, who had given up the house, knew he was in the wrong and nodded in compromise:
"I know about the house building. We'll discuss it after we make money. Tomorrow I'll go to the mine and rent them a house as a dormitory. They can sleep there at night, which will make it convenient for them to haul coal the next day. If anyone is about to get married, they can rent a house on their own, and we'll subsidize the rent. Binzi, remember to tell them about this." He looked at Huang Wenbin and instructed.
