It was a true family business. My father worked the washing machines while my mother sat at the sewing machine. My Aunt Gloria was responsible for the cash desk. Even my retired grandfather offered to 65 by doing some cleaning now and then. My father used to say that the most important machine in the Laundromat wasn't the washing machine, the cash desk, or the sewing machine. It was the coffee pot that sat by the entrance. The coffee was free, and almost every 66 would have a cup and chat with my family while waiting for their clean clothes. In the hours after school or on weekends, it was my job to keep the coffee pot filled. At least ten times per day, I would clean up the wet coffee grounds(咖啡渣), weigh 40g of beans, fill the pot with water, and turn on the coffee machine. It was such a(n) 67 job that I could have done it in my sleep. I remember complaining to my father one busy day "Why do we have to give away coffee? We’re a Laundromat, not a coffee shop!” I said 68.My father was surprised at my attitude and immediately stopped what he was doing to talk to me. He took a seat across from me, and with a patient but serious look on his face, he spoke: “Son, people can wash their clothes at any laundromat in town. They come to ours because we 69 them like friends. We offer them a cup of coffee. We chat with them, laugh with them and connect with them. People don’t just need a place to clean their clothes. They need friendship. That is why your job is the most important job in the laundromat.” My father's words had the expected 70 . From then on, I even weighed the cofiee beans more carefully, making sure that the coffee would turn out just right. After all, I had the most important job in the laundromat, and that was worth taking seriously. 65.
