Chapter 456 Buy a workstation! Hire a babysitter!
There was nothing going on in the compound. These days, only Jia Zhang began to wander around the compound, looking around, looking around like a thief.
But the color of that old face was not good, and it was obvious that she had not found a good target. In the central courtyard, Xiaodang and Huaihua saw her and refused to speak to Jia Zhang.
Qin Jingru stared at Jia Zhang again. Qin Jingru was the only one at home with Huaihua in the entire central courtyard. Xiaodang Qiyue was about to enter the first grade of elementary school.
Time flies! Huaihua is also over four years old. In 1961 and 1962, Jia Dongxu and Zhao Jie were both gone for at least three years.
There is one more person who does not have to go to work in the compound, Yan Bugui.
Now I am picking up garbage. After being found out by people in the compound, I no longer hide it and started picking up garbage openly.
He didn't talk much with the people in the compound. He seemed to be ten years older, with more wrinkles on his face.
Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li ignored Yan Bugui. When they met Yan Bugui after get off work or on Sundays, they treated him as a stranger and didn't even say hello.
None of them could compare to Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li meeting other people in the compound.
The brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang separated when they were only 18 years old.
It was unexpected that the smartest person in the Yan family was Yan Jiekuang.
It cannot be said that Yan Jiekuang is very smart, but he was moved when he saw Yu Li buying a job for Yan Jiecheng.
His interest was moved, and he actually found Cao Dongfang and planned to buy a job in a factory after finishing his sophomore year of high school this year, instead of continuing his senior year.
Cao Dongfang told Yan Jiekuang that money was not a problem. As long as he thought it over, he could get the money at any time if the factory wanted him.
This is because Yan Jiekuang was only 17 years old in July, not yet 18 years old. The state stipulates that people must be 18 years old to start working, but there are also people who are 16 or 17 years old.
Yan Jiekuang left with many thanks. Now that the work was solved, nothing else mattered.
Yan Jiefang will be nineteen years old this summer and graduate from high school. He probably won't stay at home. If he leaves, only twelve-year-old Yan Jiedi will be left at home.
Now Yan Bugui is in a funny situation. No matter how much money he saves, it is of no use. You cannot bring it with you when you are born and you cannot take it with you when you die.
In the end, neither their son nor their daughter was with them.
Cao Dongfang felt that it was even more terrible than favoring boys over girls. When he was old and sick, who could he rely on if something happened?
Is it the same as Xu Damao? Does he pay someone? I don't think Yan Bugui would do that.
He cares too much about his money.
......
"Dongfang, the child is less than six months old and can sit and play by himself. It's quite interesting!" Song Xianxian likes both children very much.
"There are still twelve days until they are six months old. The expressions of these two children are quite interesting. It’s okay for them to wake up once at night now.
Aunt Wei has found a nanny for us. She should come tomorrow. She is from her hometown and has been working as a nanny. Her surname is Ma and she is 36 years old. We can just call her Sister Ma.
Well, we will work for seven years, and then they will go to school and not kindergarten, we will teach them at home!
"Sure, you're going out soon, so mom and I can stay at home, it's not a big problem!"
"It would be better to find a nanny. You and my mom can work at different times, and it would be fine if you stay at home. It would be annoying!"
"That's fine. I just feel bored staying at home all the time, so I want them to grow up quickly so I can go to work!"
"Let's wait for the nanny to come tomorrow and take a look. It will be easy if she's fine. After all, she's said to be a nanny with fifteen years' service!" Cao Dongfang said with a smile.
“Take a look!”
......
Sister Ma came, and after a day of observation, Cao's mother and Song Xianxian were quite satisfied with her. She not only looked after the children, but also did the housework.
He has short hair, is about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, is very hardworking and does things in an organized manner. You can tell at first glance that he is a good worker.
I have done a lot of work in other people's homes, but I don't know how to use a washing machine or turn on and off the TV. These are small things and I can learn them once I'm taught.
Seeing this, Cao's mother and Song Xianxian were quite satisfied.
Through chatting, everyone got to know that this 'Sister Ma' is also a great person, from Sichuan Province.
I am somewhat related to Aunt Wei, just a million miles away, but a relative nonetheless.
People in our country are good at finding relatives! Aunt Wei and I are from the same village, and if we go back eight or nine generations, our ancestors might be brothers and sisters.
As for now, Aunt Wei moved to the city from the countryside a long time ago, or even her grandfather’s generation moved to the city.
Aunt Wei introduced her mainly because she was efficient at work and had a keen eye for work.
Keep your mouth shut and your hands clean.
The people are neat and tidy, and the reviews from the previous customers have been quite good.
She has three children in her hometown, her husband, and her parents-in-law. She gave birth to all three children at once, the legendary triplets, three sons.
It's quite amazing to say that she gave birth to her children just when Sichuan Province was liberated. She was lucky and survived giving birth to three children, but it cost a lot of money.
The physical fitness of three children is no match for one child. The family savings have been spent, so Sister Ma goes out to work as a nanny to earn money for the family.
From 53 to now, my father-in-law and mother-in-law passed away one after another in 59, because working in the city was better than in the countryside, and they happened to be in those three years.
The man and his three sons went to Sijiucheng. Sister Ma had a Sijiucheng household registration, and her three sons also had Sijiucheng household registration and were in school. They were all fifteen years old.
Her husband did not have a household registration and worked odd jobs. Two years ago, her employer saw that Sister Ma worked hard and was a good person, so he arranged a job for her husband at the city automobile factory.
This way the family can live a stable life.
The employer had to go to the south for work, and Aunt Wei knew that Cao Dongfang was looking for a nanny, so she asked Sister Ma to come and try.
......
“You...your family all eats this!” Sister Ma was very surprised when she saw the food at lunch.
What's the background of this family? The last family I worked for was a department-level employer, and the food there was much worse than here.
There are six dishes, I only recognize four of them, and I don’t recognize the other two, but they should all be good.
Even though they are large prawns, I have only eaten them a few times.
No wonder Aunt Wei asked me to come to this family. If I do a good job, the salary will not be low and the food at home will be good too.
It’s just that this family, mainly Cao Dongfang, has state secrets. Don’t ask if you have something to do with it, and don’t inquire if you don’t have anything to do with it.
One month trial period, free food and accommodation, and a salary of thirty-one per month! Cao Dongfang is at home and she can go home to take care of the family, which is good.
The monthly salary after becoming a regular employee is 50 yuan, which is so high. I must stay.
"Xiao Ma, sit down and eat. Xianxian just gave birth to a child, so she eats light food. We didn't make braised pork.
You can choose one or two kinds of food from the freezer later, depending on your appetite. Xianxian and I eat light food! "Mother Cao said.
"I understand, I don't eat much!" Sister Ma said quickly.
Mom, "Hahaha, Xiao Ma, you don't understand what I mean. It doesn't matter how much you eat. There are a lot of things at home, as long as you don't waste them.
You must eat enough, and we will let you choose one or two of your favorites. You can also eat ours! "
Sister Ma: “Oh, I see!”
They started eating. The four Cao family members didn't eat Sister Ma's braised pork at all. They only ate fish, shark fins, and shrimps. Cao Jiajia ate her sweet and sour pork tenderloin.
Mom, "Xiao Ma, try the other ones too. The braised pork is too oily, we don't eat it. There's more in the freezer. If you like it, eat more!"
When Sister Ma came home, Cao's mother was communicating with her, while Cao Dongfang and Song Xianxian were just watching.
Very little talk!
In less than three days, Sister Ma decided that she should stay.
The family's living standard is too high, and there is not much housework to do, mainly taking care of the children.
Either when Cao Dongfang is not at home, or after Song Xianxian goes to work, Song Xianxian's child is one year and four months old.
I have seen many children of this age, and they are very easy to take care of. They are much better looking than babies in the confinement period.
The salary of fifty yuan is twice as high as that of other employers. As for the food, Sister Ma dare not comment.
The host family also doesn't allow people to talk about the situation at home. Sister Ma is more knowledgeable because she has learned the rules of being a nanny from the elderly people before.
I can work as a nanny here for seven years, that's enough. I can save six hundred yuan a year, which means four thousand two hundred yuan in seven years.
Sister Ma thinks that in three years she will be able to buy her own house, a separate entrance for 2,400 yuan.
She had asked about it a long time ago and had always wanted to buy it, but she didn't have enough money. Three years of work plus her previous savings would be enough.
You can buy a house!
She also likes the two children and is not afraid of strangers. She would just take a few glances at them once Cao Dongfang or Song Xianxian introduced them.
Both kids didn't care and had a great time playing with their parents and making their own little expressions.
Even when she was bathing the children, there was no problem; the two children did not cry or make a fuss.
It’s not difficult to take care of children and work is not tiring!
