720 Brush Flagpole and Boss Lan's Business (3/4)

Chapter 720 Brush Flagpole and Boss Lan's Business (34)

On Saturday morning, the rainy Jiangcheng rarely ushered in a sunny weekend!

The weather is surprisingly good, and the white clouds are like torn marshmallows, a few thin pieces, floating lazily under the light blue sky. The warm sunlight illuminates the earth, as if everything is covered with a radiant brilliance. The grass and leaves in the yard are green, and the flowerbed that was planted just a month ago is colorful. Even the windows of the villa are like Glass generally reflects the colorful light!

Such good weather can naturally give people a good mood.

"Gig, Baba, I want to brush my shoes too!" Xixi's sweet laughter came from the open door.

Today, all the doors and windows of the villa are open. The heating is usually turned on, and the doors and windows are closed. Although there is air exchange, the breath is turbid after a long time, and the continuous spring rain some time ago also breeds some damp mildew, which happened to be a big deal today. Hygiene, Yang Yi and Murphy opened the doors and windows to let in some air.

After passing the steamed buns who were loyally guarding the door, I saw the figure of a little girl happily running past.

Xixi's outfit today is very interesting, with her pink, cartoon-patterned water boots on her feet, and loose yellow/colored rubber gloves on her hands.

This rubber glove is for adults, and Yang Yi bought it according to her own size. For Xixi, it is really big, and the mouth of the glove is almost covering her elbow!

But Xixi didn't care at all. She raised her forearms to prevent them from falling down. Even so, the little girl ran to her father happily like the wind.

"Aren't you going to help mom clean up the sheets and quilt covers? Dad doesn't need your help here." Yang Yi said with a smile.

He was brushing his shoes. At first, he just wanted to wash the two pairs of small shoes that could not fit. Later, he simply washed the other washable shoes at home, and they could dry them while the weather was good.

"Mama said, Mama said she needed a washing machine and didn't need my help. Then gave me this!" Xixi shook her little hand happily and showed her father the rubber gloves she was wearing.

Seeing that his daughter wanted to help so enthusiastically, Yang Yi did not refuse. He took a small stool for Xixi to sit on, and then the father and daughter squatted in the toilet together to brush their shoes.

"You grab the heel, brush the sole, and once the water is flushed, the dirt will be gone!" Yang Yi set an example for her daughter.

Xixi's bright eyes watched her father's operation, and she learned it in a proper manner.

I saw that the little girl picked up her mother's pair of slippers with one hand, and the other hand awkwardly grasped the long handle of the brush and brushed it with difficulty.

"You are like this, grab here, is it easier to control the brush like this?" Yang Yi found that Xixi was different from himself. The little girl's hands were not that long, and the brush was not flexible, so she taught her to hold the middle of the handle.

Xixi brushed her mother's slippers again, but this time, she found that it was really not that hard! The little girl couldn't help but turned her head in surprise and said to her father, "Really!"

Yang Yi took the water pipe and washed it on the shoes that her daughter had brushed. At the same time, she smiled and said, "Is that so? Dad will tell you a funny story, okay?"

"Okay!" Xixi replied happily.

To listen to Dad's story, Xixi stopped the movement of her hands, holding the slippers in one hand and the brush in the other, but looked at Dad curiously.

Yang Yi turned off the faucet and said, "A long time ago, there was a man with a long flagpole who wanted to go outside the city. When he passed the city gate, he found that his flagpole was too long to cross the city. door, what to do?"

Yang Yi told stories. In order to describe it more vividly, he also used a brush and a plastic bucket as an analogy. The long brush is the flagpole, and the opening of the plastic bucket is the city gate.

So, seeing her father gesturing there and the brush stuck in the hole of the plastic bucket, although Xixi didn't quite understand what the city gate was like, she still had a general impression from the combination of the door and the plastic bucket.

I saw the little girl giggling, she grabbed her brush, inserted it vertically into the bucket, and said, "You can put it in like this!"

"That's right!" Yang Yi snapped his fingers and said admiringly, "Xixi, you are too smart!"

Xixi smiled a little embarrassedly.

Yang Yi went on to say: "But that person was stupid, so he didn't think of changing the angle to take the flagpole out. He sat there and was sulking! Later, an old grandfather came. After he heard about this, he said: Just tell this person, you can cut off the flagpole and take it with you!"

When Xixi saw her father stroking the middle of the brush, her brain was very flexible, and a corresponding image was formed at once, and she said in surprise: "It's also possible!"

"Well, it's not wrong to do this, because the flagpoles at that time were all made of bamboo. But there is a problem." Yang Yi said, "After the flagpole is cut off, it can't be used as a flagpole. If our brush is broken, it can't be used as a flagpole. It won't work as well as it used to."

Xixi was a little confused by her father's reversal, and she looked at her father in confusion: "then what should I do?"

"So it's good to use the method you just said! You can take the flagpole out of the city gate intact!" Yang Yi said with a smile, "This story tells us a truth, there are many ways to deal with a matter, We should respond flexibly and learn to find the most labor-saving, best-use, and most-solvable ways to solve the problem! If you think it is not easy to use the brush in this way, you can change the holding position, and there must be one that suits you! Right? "

Xixi understood this time, and she replied sweetly, "Yeah!"

Still continue to brush the shoes, the little girl felt that the slippers just now were cleaned, so she changed the slippers of the other foot.

Seeing this, Yang Yi quietly wrapped his hands around, took the slippers that Xixi had put down just now, and brushed them again.

Yang Yi felt that it was very rare for Xixi to be willing to help her parents. He didn't want to use his strict standards to scare off his daughter's enthusiasm.

...

I don't know how long it took, Yang Yi took Xixi, washed shoes, and other scrubbed waste items that were going to the kindergarten to dry in the yard.

The father and daughter were busy, and the steamed bun, who was basking in the sun beside him, suddenly stood up, but he sniffed and lay down slowly, but his eyes were still looking at the gate of the yard.

After a while, Lanzhou Kai's chubby figure appeared at the door, accompanied by Lan Xin's cheerful cry: "Xixi!"

"Xin'er!" The little girl turned her head in surprise.

The two little girls got together, and naturally they were talking and laughing. With a companion, Xixi can't help her father's work.

The pampered Boss Lan has a nanny at home, and he does not touch the spring water with his ten fingers. At this moment, he is also standing next to Yang Yi, chatting with Yang Yi while watching Yang Yi string his shoes on the hanger.

There has been a substantial breakthrough in the negotiation of the land in Jinling City. Basically, the two sides have negotiated the price, and only the final signature is left. I have to say that Lanzhou Kai is very capable in real estate!

In the past few months in Jinling City, Lanzhou Kai not only negotiated with the Wucheng County Government about the land that Yang Yi wanted, but also negotiated hundreds of acres of surrounding construction land that has not yet been requisitioned!

Lanzhou Kai told Yang Yi that even if the playground is not in use, he can use it for commercial development, build shopping malls and hotels around the playground, rent or sell it, and make a lot of money!

Of course, we are still waiting for the submission of the report, the approval of the Jiangnan Provincial Department, and the final signature. When Lanzhou Kai came back this time, he also took time to participate in his daughter's parent-child activities.

"You came here today, shouldn't you be asking me for scraps?" Yang Yi looked at Lanzhou Kai vigilantly. This guy found that he was very good at educating his children. He often threw Lan Xin here, like some kindergarten math. All homework, let Yang Yi come to help Lan Xin.

Sometimes, Yang Yi really wanted to ask him: "Is Xiner your daughter or my daughter?"

Of course, this is just a joke. Yang Yi and Lanzhou Kai have such a good relationship that Yang Yi can be called Lan Xin's godfather. It's just that Yang Yi and Lanzhou Kai are not religious, and they don't have the habit of using these strange names.

Lanzhou Kai said with a smile: "No need for the waste items, our family has already asked Grandma Wu to clean up a batch, but you said that on Monday, don't forget to come and help Xin after finishing your Xixi's handicrafts. Son, or we do it together, you know I don't have any talent for handicrafts."

"Then what did you say you wanted to talk to me about?" Yang Yi asked curiously.

"School problem! Xiner and Xixi are going to primary school in the second half of the year, should we also consider which primary school to choose for our children?" Lanzhou Kai really has business affairs to find Yang Yi.

This chapter found a little sense. Trying to write back the original flavor! !
