Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1131: This topic is a bit strange.

Xiao Wei said, "Having over a hundred people working on it at the same time is really difficult. Where is he going to borrow more than a hundred people?"

Chen Hui said, "How could that be? Thirty is enough. Are you talking about the army? Coming out of the brothel together?"

Chen Xiao said, "I bet you guys have already finished massaging your feet while the women are still soaking in the tub."

Xia Maosheng scratched his head: "Does the women's bathhouse have pools too? Do we soak there?"

Xiao Wei and Chen Hui exchanged a glance and shook their heads; they had never been there.

Xiao Hong said, "That's easy. Tonight, you men can shower on the women's side, and the women can go to the men's side. You can all take a look and get some answers."

Chen Hui said, "You women want to see the men's bathhouse too?"

Xiaohong said, "Our school has one public bathhouse for men and women, and they take turns using it. Therefore, we can infer that there's no difference between the men's and women's bathhouses. So, being curious about the opposite sex's bathhouse is completely indecent. It's an outward manifestation of lust. Are you interested in the bathhouse itself?"

Everyone laughed. Xia Maosheng said, "It's still different. I didn't go to university, so I don't know what it's like in school. The brothels for men and women in workplaces and factories are different."

Everyone looked at him, and Xia Maosheng said, "Don't count the old days, I'm talking about now. The women's quarters don't have pools, they're all showers, while the men's quarters have large pools, and showers are rare or nonexistent. I'm talking about workplaces and factories."

Chen Hui asked, "Why?"

Xia Maosheng said, "It's a requirement from above, a health indicator. They're focusing on the health of female employees."

Chen Hui asked, "How do you know so many details?"

Xia Maosheng gave Chen Hui a disdainful look: "I used to be in charge of this in the government office, and I still have the logistics management manual at home."

Beibei stared wide-eyed without making a sound, leaning against Xiaowei's chest as she watched the adults say strange things.

Xiao Wei said, "Is it alright to discuss this issue so seriously?"

Xiao Hong sat up, put on her shoes, and glared at Bei Bei: "And you're criticizing me? I don't know which little brat has socks that smell so bad every day, and I have to wash them for her."

Beibei has sweaty feet, and children are very active.

Beibei felt embarrassed and buried her face in Xiaowei's arms, saying, "I'll let Daddy wash me from now on."

Chen Hui asked Xiao Wei, "When will our public bathhouse be open?"

Xiao Wei said, "It will take a few more days. Once the boiler is installed, we'll need to do some interior renovations. Anyway, in 95, the kindergarten will open, the activity center will be put into use, and the instant noodle factory will start production. All the supporting facilities in this food factory need to be up and running."

Xia Maosheng asked, "Has the Dragon King Temple been repaired yet?"

Xiao Wei said, "It should be in the spring. By then, the Liao Dynasty Museum here will be almost finished. A large part of the park should be able to open then."

Xiao Hong said, "Then where will we live in the future? We can't live in both places, can we? That would be such a waste."

Xiao Wei said, "Let's move there. It's a gated community, so it's safer, and the environment is better. You can see the river and the park's green trees from inside the house. There's a park right outside, so it's convenient for the kids to play or take walks. The air is also fresher."

Xiao Hong asked, "What about this side? It's only been a few years, don't you want it anymore?"

Chen Hui said, "I can give up my courtyard and sell it, but I have to keep this one. If that doesn't work, I can turn it into a courtyard-style hotel. If I fix it properly, it should be fine."

Xia Maosheng said, "That's a good idea. Two buildings are enough. We just need to modify the interiors. The garage can be converted into a reception hall and offices."

Chen Xiao asked, "So, will it include catering? Where will the kitchen and dining area be located?"

Geng Hui said, "How about this? We can build dormitories for senior executives and an internal guesthouse in the compound. We don't need to set up a kitchen or restaurant; we can just eat here in the current canteen. Then we can get a license for the guesthouse upstairs to operate externally. It's such a waste right now."

Xiao Wei nodded: "Okay, Geng Hui's suggestion is more reliable. Alright, we'll do it this way after we move over. Chen Hui can sell that courtyard if he wants; it seems like it's barely been used."

Chen Hui said, "Ask Third Brother if he's interested. Most people can't afford it even if they wanted to. He's made so much money off us these past few years, it's time he gave some back."

Chen Xiao patted Chen Hui: "Why are you saying such disgusting things?"

Xia Maosheng said, "He bought it by the river, right? You should ask him. I remember he moved over there."

Xiao Wei said, "Who cares? If they want to sell, just hand it over to Hao Dawei and let them figure it out. It's actually harder to talk to acquaintances about things like houses and land."

Chen Hui said, "Dawei wants to set up a larger storefront, specifically for selling houses."

Xiao Wei said, "It's fine to get one. If we don't use it ourselves, we can rent it out. There will definitely be more and more houses in the future, and we can sell them to others."

Xia Maosheng asked, "A housing transaction hall? A real estate transaction hall? One that specializes in selling houses throughout Fengtian?"

Chen Hui slapped his thigh: "That's a great idea! Let's make a huge one, call it the Real Estate Transaction Hall, is that feasible?"

Xiao Wei thought for a moment and said, "Where are we going to find a place? Would a small place even work? We definitely can't rent one. Besides, we wouldn't be able to find one anyway."

Chen Hui said, "We could find land and build one. We could sell houses there, hold exhibitions, and organize all sorts of large events. What do you think?"

Xia Maosheng pondered for a moment and said, "That works. There aren't many good places to do these things in Fengtian now, and the ones that are done now are all outdoors."

Chen Xiao asked, "So you're just building a house, a big one, and leaving the inside completely empty?"

Chen Hui said, "That's about right, roughly like that, but it needs to be higher, the floors need to be taller."

Chen Xiao asked, "How do you know what it will look like? Have you seen it before?"

Chen Hui said, "I've been to the Shanghai Auto Show and the Guangzhou Beauty Expo. Do you think I haven't?"

Xiao Wei said, "Since you're familiar with this, I'll leave it to you. Choose a location, discuss the land, and once the address is settled, we'll talk about the next steps."

Chen Hui nodded in agreement.

As soon as the door opened, Xiao Xiaohui came running in with his short legs: "Sister, sister, do you want something yummy?"

Beibei, nestled in Xiaowei's arms, looked down at Xiaoxiaohui and asked, "What delicious food are we having?"

Xiao Hui raised his hand and gestured: "There are so many delicious things. They're all delicious. He, he, he's eating them all." He turned to look at Xia Maosheng and pointed.

Xiao Wei's mother came in: "I gave Xia Gensheng some sausage to eat, and he saw it. He wants to eat shrimp."

Xiao Wei said, "Eat if you want, it's not like there's nothing else available."

Xiaowei's mother said, "Children don't know their stomachs are full, so how can we trust their ideas? They'll get sick from eating too much. We have to feed them according to their needs and in appropriate portions."

Little Hui looked up at Bei Bei with longing: "Want to go, sister?"

Xiao Hong said, "Let's go buy some candied hawthorns. They're good for digestion and one skewer can keep us eating for ages."
