My Siheyuan Shelter

Half an hour later, the eldest son's home arrived.

What caught my eye was a western-style three-story western-style building with a white exterior wall and a pointed roof. After entering the door, there was a small courtyard of about [-] square meters. The courtyard was lush and looked very warm.

"Son, come out quickly, who do you think is here?"

Dabao yelled into the house.

Soon a little boy about eight or nine years old ran out excitedly. Xu Dong laughed and spread his arms, but the little boy came to him and stopped suddenly, as if a mouse had seen a cat.

"Grandpa? Why are you?"

Xu Dong stepped forward and knocked on the head of his second grandson, pretending to be angry and said, "Grandpa has worked so hard to come all the way to see you, is this your attitude?"

"I didn't. I just didn't expect you, grandpa, to come to Feizhou. I talked to grandma on the phone last night. Grandma and the others are so embarrassing that they kept it from me."

The little seaweed shrank its neck subconsciously.

Just like his dad when he was a child.

"Your grandma wants to surprise you."

Xu Dong explained casually.

Xiao Haizao couldn't help curling her lips. This was not a surprise, it was a shock. In his mind, Grandpa was more severe than the head teacher.

The little guy is a mischievous and mischievous person, plus he doesn't like to study since he was a child, so he has been beaten a lot before.

Niu Niu followed and came over: "Dad, are you hungry? There are noodles in the pot, do you want some?"

"I'm not hungry. Lele made a lot of snacks. 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 status of Xiaohaizao later."

Xu Dong has always been very concerned about his grandchildren's studies. As the old saying goes, "wealth can't last for three generations", the family business of their old Xu family cannot be defeated by their grandsons.

This year is really not a "good time" to prodigal.

No matter where they were born, the lives of ordinary people were not easy at all, especially in the past few years, when the whole world was combined, at least [-]% of the population starved to death.

For the sake of the younger generations, this family business has to be preserved no matter what, and it is not rare at all to have many grandchildren.

"Dad, eat as much as you want! It's not good to eat too much cold food. Eat something warm to warm your stomach."

Niu Niu quickly persuaded.

Xu Dong nodded and did not refuse again.

After the eldest daughter-in-law left, he patted Xiaohaizao's back with his hands: "Why are you still standing there, hurry up and get your winter vacation homework, grandpa wants to check it himself."

"Grandpa, haven't I finished writing yet?"

Xiaohaizao had a bitter face, trying to get away with it.

"School will start in a few days, why haven't you finished writing? Stop talking nonsense, and hurry up and get the homework." Xu Dong reprimanded with a straight face.

Xiaohaizao secretly glanced at Dad, Dabao shrugged, and returned a gesture of helplessness.

5 minutes later, Xu Dong checked his second grandson's homework while eating noodles. Good guy, I haven't finished writing this, it's just that I haven't written much.

The little seaweed next to him scratched his head anxiously.

Dabao hurriedly explained: "Dad, this year is the first year of post-disaster reconstruction work, especially during the Chinese New Year period, we are too busy, and Niuniu and I didn't bother to check the learning status of the little seaweed."

"No matter how busy you are at work, you can't ignore your children's education. There's only one of you around, so you can't manage it? Will you still have it in the future?"

Xu Dong put down his job, he was full of anger.

"Dad, don't be angry." Niuniu immediately ran over to persuade, "I have discussed with Dabao. When he becomes the chairman, I will stay at home and take care of the children. In the second half of the year, Xiao Xigua and Xiao Maodou will come. There’s no one in the house to take care of it.”

"Don't be too tired, you can't hire two nannies."

The eldest daughter-in-law has not been easy these years, Xu Dong must give her face.

Niuniu shook her head: "My father and my mother will come with me in the second half of the year. With their help, we don'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 law and order is not as good as expected. There are several vicious cases every year, and even massacres.

Or their own family is more reliable.

After all, it is about the personal safety of the children, so we cannot be too careful.

"It would be great if the in-laws could come over."

Xu Dong nodded with a smile, then pulled his second grandson to his side and helped him with his homework.

The little seaweed was about to cry right now.

He originally planned to go to classmate Xingzi's house in two days, and borrow her winter vacation homework as a "reference", but now it's good, it's all ruined when grandpa comes.

……

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 hadn't been here for more than three years.

Xu Dong thought for a while, there will be guests coming later, and he can't go too far, so he nodded and agreed.

As for our little seaweed, he is "writing hard" in the bedroom at this time. Grandpa said that we should check today's results before dinner.

If the task cannot be completed, not only will all the pocket money be confiscated, but also the buttocks will be spanked.

The little guy was terrified.

Because grandpa never jokes, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, he will do what he says.

After leaving the gate, the father and son walked along the main road for less than 10 minutes, Xu Dong couldn't help but wonder:

"Is today a special day? It's so early in the morning, and there's not even a ghost on the road?"

"Dad, the factories here in Maputo generally work in two shifts. The working hours of the day shift start at nine in the morning and end at five in the evening. It's only less than eight o'clock now, and it's still early for the shift change!"

"Why not from eight in the morning to eight in the evening?"

"Hey, on the one hand, local workers are unwilling to work night shifts. They only accept a nine-to-five schedule. In addition, factory owners don't want to pay overtime pay, so they simply let foreign workers work night shifts."

Dabao explained casually.

Xu Dong calculated silently in his mind, and was instantly surprised: "According to what you said, 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?"

"Except for eating and drinking, I can probably get two or three thousand!"

"So low? What about the wages of regular workers?"

Xu Dong frowned unconsciously.

The minimum wage in Sydney is 500 yuan, and this does not include overtime pay. If you add six or seven hours of overtime pay, it will definitely be easily [-] a month.

"The regular wages are higher than those in China, about seven or eight thousand per month!"

Xu Dong asked curiously: "Is there such a shortage of labor? How many people are there in the Philippines?"

"According to official figures, it's about 8 million, less than 60 million. Especially in the past three or four years, the flow of immigration has almost stagnated. To be honest, the labor gap is indeed not small."
