Post 80's Mother's Daily Routine

Chapter 61- 65

Chapter 062
It is not surprising that Guo Pingping gave up quickly after learning to drive. The drivers in the company just laughed and laughed. Guo Pingping herself felt quite ashamed, but she made a joke, but she quickly let go.

Since the Taoyuan company opened, the income has been stable every day, and the daily passenger load is almost without major problems. There must be many small problems. Occasionally, the car has problems, the tires are flat, etc., but they are all small problems.

Zhao Weiguo has also been groping from the company's opening, and now he knows the company's situation like the back of the hand. And now the company's canteen has opened, providing drivers with three meals a day plus supper, which has also improved everyone's ability to work and make money.

Xu Tao only planned to hire two people to work before, but after deciding to hire Wang Juanjuan, she also planned to hire another person to work with her on shifts. This idea became more firm when Wang Juanjuan was working the night shift on the first day.

The taxi drivers are all military veterans. These people have no grudge against Wang Juanjuan's appearance, which also makes Wang Juanjuan feel relieved. After all, Wang Juanjuan is used to the fear and disgust of most people. When she came to Taoyuan Company, she found that these drivers treated her. With the same attitude as normal people, I feel extra comfortable.

Otherwise, soldiers are sometimes very cute!

Xu Tao thought that this group of retired taxi drivers should become a behavioral direction indicator in Yangcheng over time.

Xu Tao does not deny that there are some worms among the soldiers, but relatively speaking, the taxi drivers of Taoyuan Company are definitely more secure than the drivers of other companies.

Wang Juanjuan is polite, works the night shift alone, and also prepares the kitchen.

After eight to nine o'clock, all the drivers on the night shift were outside to carry passengers, and the huge Taoyuan company became a little quiet. Xu Tao usually came to the company during the day, and stayed until nine o'clock in the evening, watching the Taoyuan company, although With the dim light on, Wang Juanjuan still feels a little lonely working alone.

If she and Zhao Weiguo both went home in the middle of the night, Wang Juanjuan should be afraid alone.

"Zhao Weiguo, take Xiaonan back to sleep, I'll stay at the company tonight to accompany Wang Juanjuan." The Taoyuan company was really quiet at 9 o'clock in the evening.

The Taoyuan company's site is very large. More than a dozen cars have driven out, and the parking lot is extraordinarily empty. If you speak loudly, there may be an echo.

"You're afraid of the cold, and your stomach is still uncomfortable. I'll take you and Xiaonan back to rest first, and then I'll come back to the company." Zhao Weiguo, however, considered Xu Tao's physical condition, and wanted to dispel Xu Tao's thoughts.

When Aunt Xu Tao came, her body temperature was much cooler than usual. Today is only the third day, and she hasn't completely cleaned up. How can I stay up all night at the company?

Although the winter here in Yangcheng is not particularly cold, the temperature is now seven or eight degrees. She likes to feel sleepy during her menstrual period, and she feels more sleepy than usual. Zhao Weiguo is willing to let Xu Tao support her in the company.

"You're not suitable." Xu Tao shook her head.

She believed in Zhao Weiguo very much, but Wang Juanjuan and Zhao Weiguo were alone in the company, and it was inevitable that they would fall into the limelight. Xu Tao felt that it was the most suitable for her to stay.

Xu Tao said it was inappropriate, and Zhao Weiguo suddenly realized that he didn't think about other aspects, only considering Xu Tao's physical condition.

"In this way, I will go back and bring a quilt, and I will sleep in the company today." Zhao Weiguo handed Zhao Linan sleeping in his arms to Xu Tao: "If you have time tomorrow, you can buy some cotton to play two quilts, and I will find someone to order two quilts. Put the canopy bed upstairs, and the driver can rest when he is tired, or if he can't bear the night shift."

"Okay." Xu Tao had no objection and hugged Zhao Linan who was asleep.

The lounge, they had considered it before, but they didn't implement it. These drivers were very active at work, and they didn't take much rest during the meal time, so Zhao Weiguo temporarily put the rest of the matter on hold.

Zhao Weiguo was about to go home and bring the quilt to the company. When he turned around, he looked at his sleeping son, took off his coat and put it on the little guy.

"It's a little cold at night, can you handle it?" Xu Tao watched Zhao Weiguo take off his coat, and was worried about Zhao Weiguo, but knew that Zhao Linan would not cover him with a piece of clothing when he fell asleep, and at the current temperature, the little guy could freeze.

"It's okay, I'll be back soon." Zhao Weiguo patted Xu Tao's head to reassure him, and strode away from the Taoyuan Company to go home to get the quilt.

Xu Tao hugged Zhao Linan who was asleep, went to the kitchen to accompany Wang Juanjuan, and sat in front of the stove to help watch the fire.

Xu Tao only asked Wang Juanjuan to make some simple noodles, but Wang Juanjuan was very careful. The noodles and side dishes were washed cleanly. It was nine o'clock in the evening, and there was still hot water in the pot. , ready to wait around eleven o'clock to start cooking the noodles.

Wang Juanjuan also has a lot of things to deal with overnight, and this job is actually not that easy.

"Sorry, I didn't think about it before. I didn't know it was so quiet in the company after the drivers went out to pick up passengers. Don't worry, our family won't go back today, and we won't leave you alone. When Zhao Weiguo comes back, I'll let him ask. Ask other drivers to see if anyone with good cooking skills can come to work, and tomorrow I will quickly find someone to accompany you to work with you." Xu Tao said with an apologetic tone.

It's true that she didn't take this into consideration.

"It's alright, such a big company, the drivers are going back and forth, I'm not afraid." Wang Juanjuan smiled delicately, wearing a mask, her eyes looked like crescent moons, very soft, and she was really courageous. Not small, otherwise she wouldn't dare to promise to work the night shift alone.

She is someone who has experienced the cruelty of this world and the warmth and warmth of humanity. She knows too well that sometimes people are much scarier than ghosts.

"It's still inappropriate for you to go to work alone."

"The boss, does the company have to hire the driver's family to recruit people?" Wang Juanjuan looked at Xu Tao and asked in a tangled and hesitant tone.

"It doesn't have to be the driver's family, as long as it's suitable." Xu Tao shook her head and replied, watching Wang Juanjuan's question, she couldn't help but wonder: "Do you have a suitable candidate to recommend?"

Wang Juanjuan, wearing a mask and hat, heard Xu Tao's question, and immediately Wiping her wet hands on the apron, she knew that it was not easy for her to get the job, but she still wanted to help her neighbor's eldest sister, Su Meili, to fight for it.

"My neighbor's eldest sister is a very good person. I look like this, and many people despise me. She is the only one who helps me in various ways and helps our family a lot. She is from Yunnan Province. The family is poor, and the villager said that he took her and a group of girls out of the big city to find a job, but he was tricked into coming to Yangcheng, and was later sold by the villager to the current man."

"His man treats her very well, Even though her feet were a little lame, her appearance was average, and her life in Yunsheng was even more difficult than here. She could not get enough to eat two meals a day. In addition, the fare to go back to her hometown was expensive, and her parents didn't care whether she lived or died. Just stay and live a good life with that man."

"Although she is a bought daughter-in-law, both the man and her mother-in-law are okay with her, but the family is a little poor. Her child is now two or three years old, and her mother-in-law can help take care of her, so I just want to find a job to support my family, can you give her a chance to work, Madam Boss."

"She is very good, very simple and honest, very hard-working, especially able to work, and her cooking skills are also very good, Madam Boss, you Believe me." Wang Juanjuan seldom said so much, and tried her best to brag about her neighbor Su Meili, trying to get Xu Tao to think about it.

"Well, let her come to my house tomorrow and during the day, as long as she is really good at cooking, let her come to work." Xu Tao agreed directly.

Anyway, anyone can be hired to work, and she has no idea of ​​finding a job among the taxi drivers' daughters-in-law. Wang Juanjuan works the night shift, and if she hires another person, she must find someone who can get along well with Wang Juanjuan. She recommended it. People, they have no problem getting along with each other.

Moreover, Wang Juanjuan's shy personality can make her recommend it so strongly. Xu Tao feels that the other party should be a good person.

"Thank you, Madam Boss." Wang Juanjuan bowed desperately to Xu Tao to thank her.

"You're welcome." Xu Tao smiled.

Wu Hui and Guo Pingping, because of their relationship, usually speak to her as younger siblings and sisters-in-law, but Wang Juanjuan is very measured. When she arrives at Taoyuan Company, she calls her the boss lady. distance.

Xu Tao actually doesn't care about a title, it can be called younger brother and sister, sister-in-law, or the proprietress, but Xu Tao has to admit that she likes to get along with people like Wang Juanjuan.

Because Wang Juanjuan clearly separates work and relationships, Guo Pingping and Wu Hui give Xu Tao the illusion of a family workshop, and they will be more cautious about what they say. If they go wrong at work, Xu Tao will have to Reminder at the discretion of the situation.

But she doesn't need to be so careful in the face of Wang Juanjuan. Wang Juanjuan herself is very clear about her responsibilities. She is here to work, what she should do, and what attitude she should use to face Xu Tao.

So don't look at Xu Tao only knowing Wang Juanjuan for a few days, but among the three, Xu Tao actually admires Wang Juanjuan the most.

Zhao Weiguo went home and picked up the quilt quickly. He came back in half an hour. He pieced together the stools in the office. The winter quilt was wide and thick, with half of the cushion and the bottom half covered, which was enough for Zhao Linan to sleep comfortably.

Zhao Weiguo deliberately spliced ​​a few stools behind the desk, while he was busy sitting beside the desk.

Xu Tao held on for a long time, but in the middle of the night, she was still too tired to hold on, so she lay down on the stool and slept with Zhao Linan for a while.

Wang Juanjuan has been busy in the kitchen all the time. After the drivers came back for the night, she cleaned up the kitchen, and she began to knead the noodles, wake up, and prepare breakfast.

Washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, chopping stuffing, washing rice and cooking porridge, and frying some pickles, etc., it seems that there are not many things to do, but Wang Juanjuan is busy by herself, and she is almost so busy that she does not rest for a while.

And the weight of breakfast is more than supper, because people who get off work at night can eat breakfast and go home, and people who come to work early can also eat breakfast before going to work. Therefore, the portion of breakfast has to be eaten by 30 or 40 people. Wang Juanjuan has to pack 60 to 70 steamed buns alone. Wang Juanjuan has been busy in the kitchen without resting all night.

The kitchen next door was busy. In the office here, Zhao Weiguo was also recording various accounting reports. When he was done, it was four or five o'clock. He turned to look at Xu Tao and Zhao Linan, who were soundly asleep.

Xu Tao lay on her side and hugged Zhao Linan. The mother and son both slept on the stool, cradling their heads against each other. The picture was cute and lovely.

Zhao Weiguo couldn't help but gently put down the pen in contentment and stood up, staring at Xu Tao for a long time, unable to restrain himself from leaning over and kissing Xu Tao's forehead.

Xu Tao was lying on the stool and slept well. When Zhao Weiguo's kiss fell, Xu Tao woke up and pouted at the man: "What time is it?

" The window, I found that the sky was beginning to light up slightly.

"Five o'clock." Zhao Weiguo leaned closer and kissed Xu Tao's lips again.

Xu Tao raised her hand and pushed the man: "Don't kiss me."

She just woke up in the morning and didn't wash her face and brush her teeth. She really didn't want to accept Zhao Weiguo's intimate kiss. Ugly and smelly, it's hard to put your mouth down.

"No kiss?" Zhao Weiguo raised his eyebrows, held Xu Tao's face in both hands, and kissed her directly.

If you don't want to kiss him, he wants to kiss a few times. There is no reason for his daughter-in-law not to kiss him.

Xu Tao struggled with a smile. In order not to wake Zhao Linan, she could only be forcefully kissed by the man, and then glared at him angrily: "You are so annoying!" Xu Tao got up from the stool as she spoke.

After lying down for a few hours and sleeping for a while, people are not so sleepy, but Zhao Linan slept soundly, but she lay down with a sore back.

"It's a bit foggy outside today." Xu Tao stretched out and looked out the window, and found that it was foggy outside.

"Yeah." Zhao Weiguo nodded, stretched out his hand to press the quilt on the sleeping Zhao Linan, and then took Xu Tao to fetch hot water to wash her.

Around 5:30, the morning shift employees of Taoyuan Company began to come to work one after another for breakfast. Wu Hui and Guo Pingping also came, and a large group of people began to eat breakfast lively. Everyone was very enthusiastic about Wang Juanjuan's cooking skills. .

Around 6 o'clock, the drivers on the night shift also drove back to take over one after another. Feng Yongnian parked the car, and the first thing he did was run to the kitchen to take a look at his daughter-in-law. Seeing Wang Juanjuan busy in the kitchen, the whole talent calmed down.

When Wang Juanjuan came to work in the company, he was actually very worried. He was worried about driving all night. Now that he saw that people were doing well, he turned his head and saw that Zhao Weiguo and Xu Tao were both in the company, so he guessed that Xu Tao didn't go home last night. Thank you both gratefully.

Wang Juanjuan's cooking skills are really good. After Xu Tao washed up, she had breakfast at the company. Originally, the husband and wife were going home with Zhao Linan in their arms. The child may not have slept well and woke up after eight o'clock.

"Mom." Zhao Linan came out of the office and rubbed his eyes to find Xu Tao.

Xu Tao picked up the child, washed the child, let him drink white porridge, and after eating a steamed bun, the family of three went home.

Wang Juanjuan hadn't slept all night, and she had to work night shift at night. Xu Tao went home to take time to make up for sleep. Wang Juanjuan didn't want to delay. She knew that Xu Tao didn't rest well last night, so she discussed with Xu Tao before she got off work. When he got home, he immediately took Su Meili to Zhao's house to try cooking.

Although Xu Tao was sleepy, she also slept for a few hours at the company and was barely okay. After returning home, she asked Zhao Weiguo to rest and wait by herself.

Zhao Weiguo really didn't sleep all night last night. When he got home, he knew that Xu Tao was waiting for the person introduced by Wang Juanjuan to apply, so he went back to his room after washing up.

After eight o'clock, Wang Juanjuan took someone to Zhao's house.

At first, Xu Tao almost thought that Wang Juanjuan was calling for a man, because Wang Juanjuan's neighbor, Su Meili, was a rather masculine-looking woman. The main thing was that she was dressed very masculine, her hair was very short, and her personality was different. Having said that, if Wang Juanjuan hadn't said it in advance, she had introduced her neighbor's eldest sister, Su Meili, to work, and Xu Tao would have thought that she had introduced a neighbor's eldest brother.

It is really a person whose name and appearance are completely opposite, very inconsistent.

"Hello, Madam Boss." Su Meili and Wang Juanjuan came in and bowed politely to Xu Tao.

"Hello." Xu Tao smiled at her: "Our taxi company has to hire someone to work. Sister-in-law Feng said that you are good at cooking and recommended you to me. You can go to the kitchen and make a dish for me to see!"

"Okay." Su Meili nodded and went to the kitchen.

Xu Tao also went to the kitchen to watch Su Meili work. Even though Su Meili looked quite a man, she was really capable when it came to doing things. She made fire, peeled potatoes, and shredded potatoes. She relied on a kitchen knife for the whole process. , The key is that the shredded potatoes are about the same size as the roots.

This shredded potato has already been recognized by Xu Tao with Su Meili's knife skills before it is in the pot.

To be honest, Xu Tao's knife skills are no match for Su Meimei, and Su Meimei's speed of shredding potatoes with one hand can really be a master level.

"Wow!" Zhao Linan stood beside him, looking at Su Meili's swordsmanship and exclaimed in amazement. The little guy slept enough last night, and he wasn't sleepy at the moment, so he joined in the fun and watched.

Xu Tao smiled and patted the little guy's head, but looked at Su Meili's fried shredded potatoes, and soon a hot and sour shredded potato was fried, with a sour smell.

Xu Tao likes the dish of hot and sour shredded potatoes very much, but she almost felt the heat when she made it herself, while the hot and sour shredded potatoes made by Su Meimei tasted just right, completely opened her taste buds, and it was a great meal.

"Madam, what do you think?" Wang Juanjuan asked in a low voice, her eyes full of nervousness.

Su Meili also looked at Xu Tao naively, both of them were waiting for Xu Tao's reaction, Wang Juanjuan, who was soft and cowardly, and Su Meili, who was a rude man, were two people with different personalities and styles. , all looking at her at the same time.

Xu Tao smiled and nodded, "It tastes good."

"Mom, I want to eat it too." Zhao Linan smelled the hot and sour taste of shredded potatoes, and was a little greedy.

Xu Tao then also took two shredded potatoes to feed the little guy. Zhao Linan had a sour mouth, but he still wanted to continue eating.

"Mom, it's delicious. Uncle, you are amazing." Zhao Linan praised when he saw that it was Su Meili's fried shredded potatoes.

"..." Well, there was a moment of embarrassment in the kitchen because Zhao Linan said the word uncle.

Su Meimei is quite used to it. She is so ordinary because of her appearance that many people can't tell her gender. After marrying her current husband, she doesn't have too many ideas. She can eat enough, sleep well, and raise her children. Dachengcai, she is very happy.

Although her man's feet are a little lame, except for his bad feet, everything is good, and he lives very hard every day.

Su Meili knew very well that her appearance was not good, and she had never read a book.

This is also the reason why, even though she was sold by her fellow villagers, she did not run away, preferring to marry and have children in Yangcheng.

"I'm sorry, he is still young and doesn't understand, he made a mistake." Xu Tao touched Zhao Linan's head, spoke to Su Meili apologetically, and then tapped the child on the head: "This is Auntie."

Actually it's not surprising Zhao Linan would admit that he was wrong, she was really Su Meimei, she really didn't look like a woman.

"Ah!" Zhao Linan was surprised, and said ah very loudly.

"..." Xu Tao was helplessly amused by the child's surprised expression, this kid.

"It's alright, it's normal to admit mistakes. Many children think of me as a man." Su Meili also shook her head calmly. It's just a child admitting mistakes. No need to apologize, this proprietress is really polite.

"The proprietress, can Miss Mei come to work with me?" Wang Juanjuan nervously waited for Xu Tao to speak.

"Madam, hire me for a job! Although I don't look good, I can work very well. Not only can I cook, but I can also chop wood and chop wood. I can do things that men can do, and I am very strong. "Although Su Meili is simple and honest, she also knows that she should behave well and strive for a job.

"Okay, can you start working with Sister-in-law Feng at night?" Xu Tao asked Su Meili with a smile.

"Yes, of course." Su Meili nodded in surprise and promised, "Thank you, Madam Boss, you are such a good person."

"Don't praise me like that." Xu Tao, the good man, didn't dare to worry, and waved his hand: "Go back to rest early, and go to work in Taoyuan Company in the evening!"

"Okay, Madam Boss, you have worked hard." Wang Juanjuan and Su Meili were both happy He thanked Xu Tao and left Zhao's house in a hurry.

Xu Tao sent the two away, and took Zhao Linan to solve the plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes.

"It's sour and delicious." Zhao Linan patted his stomach very satisfied after eating.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"No." Zhao Linan shook his head.

"Well, I'm full, my mother is a little sleepy, and I'm going to sleep for a while. Xiaonan is playing outside by herself. When I get sleepy, I'll come back to my mother, okay?" Xu Tao touched Zhao Linan, and she was also a little sleepy now.

"Okay." Zhao Linan responded obediently, and went to the alley outside to play with his friends.

Su Meili and Wang Juanjuan were recruited to work on the night shift together, so Xu Tao didn't have to use the company to accompany Wang Juanjuan, and Su Meili was indeed very capable. On the first day of work, meals and supper were prepared. She also chopped up the firewood, saving the day shift. Wu Hui and Guo Pingping have many things.

In addition, Su Meimei's cooking skills are also very good. Apart from being a little more masculine, Xu Tao really can't fault Su Meimei at all.

Time passed by quietly, and soon Taoyuan Company will be open for half a month, and 1983 will soon pass.

Xu Tao knows that most of these taxi drivers are cautious and do not live well, so there is no idea of ​​pressing wages. After all, Xu Tao knows very well that in the taxi industry, none of these drivers feel that driving a taxi is too tiring and does not want to do it. .

Everyone cherished this job, and for this reason, on the morning of New Year's Day, Xu Tao gave everyone the salary for December.

Everyone is very happy to know that the salary has been paid suddenly. After working hard for half a month, each driver has received more or less more than 200 yuan. If you are lucky, you will run fast, but you will not bring it for half a month. The resting night shift drivers, such as Feng Yongnian, have been diligent in going to work in the past half month, and his efforts have indeed paid off.

Feng Yongnian's salary is the highest among all drivers, at a full 322 yuan per half month, plus Wang Juanjuan's salary of seven or eight yuan, the couple's half-month income can be said to be very good.

Of course, except for Feng Yongnian, everyone else is more or less ok. At least, the salary plus commission is two hundred and fifty-six.

On the first day of the new year, when last year's last salary was paid, all the drivers became more motivated.

"This month, I must also have a good sports car, not to mention the first place, the third place is not bad!"

"The third place also has a reward of 20 yuan!"

"I have to work hard, there are fifteen or sixteen. The New Year is just around the corner, but fortunately, the salary is paid, otherwise I will not know how to spend this year."

"Yes, yes!" The drivers exchanged, and they were very happy about the salary.

Xu Tao also followed the principle that if you want a horse to run, you have to feed the horse to the end. Among the more than 30 drivers, Xu Tao set up a commission reward for the top three. After a month, the difference between the number of passengers and the number of passengers. Rewards will be given.

The first place will be rewarded 50 yuan, the second place 30 yuan, and the third place 20 yuan.

When this reward came out, everyone would ask each other how many orders they ran today when they were eating, and the atmosphere in the company became lively.

Taoyuan Company is on the right track. After Xu Tao paid everyone's wages, he also began to prepare various gifts, occasionally writing novels, and taking Zhao Linan to go out for a walk. Skill.

All kinds of dumping sideways, etc., are completely out of the question, and it is almost no problem to drive on the road.

Xu Tao happily prepared to go back to her hometown, but Zhang Shufen, who had been quiet for half a month, took her son Qiu Zhenghao to Guo Pingping's house.

Zhang Shufen and Guo Pingping do not live far apart, only a few alleys apart. Although Zhang Shufen had to force Qiu Tianyong to change jobs and run transportation, she kept waiting to see the jokes of Taoyuan Taxi Company. She counted the time and knew Taoyuan After the company opened for more than half a month, I came to chat with Guo Pingping, and by the way, I talked about it.

"Hey! Brother and sister, how is your Li Jianshu doing in the taxi company?" Zhang Shufen was concerned, her eyes were full of joy.

"It's okay." Guo Pingping nodded calmly and replied with a very indifferent attitude.

Zhang Shufen paid attention to Guo Pingping's expression. She didn't see whether she was happy or unhappy, so she talked about her own situation.

"My family's Tian Yong is quite stable when it comes to transportation. He runs two long distances in half a month, and his salary should be three or four hundred next month!" Zhang Shufen showed off, with a particularly proud tone.

In fact, she just wanted to ask Guo Pingping about Li Jianshu's situation, and also inquired about the situation of the taxi company in disguise, so that she could go back and prove to Qiu Tianyong that it was the right decision for her to ask him to go for transportation at the beginning, instead of being at home every day. Change jobs and let him run the transport thing.
