Once the cooperation with Mr. Qiu was finalized, Li Manjun and his wife started to smile more.
Zhao Yong felt that he had so much wealth at such a young age, and suddenly felt that he was quite capable. He hugged his wife and said, "I am really lucky to marry you. My wife, you are so prosperous!"
Li Manjun doesn't engage in Zhao Yong's superstitious beliefs about fate. She thinks about the housing prices in future generations and feels happy that her dream of being a housewife is about to come true.
However, happy days are always short-lived. Sister Zhou said that she was going back to her hometown, which frightened Li Manjun who was on a business trip and rushed back overnight.
When she opened the door and saw Sister Zhou picking up the toys that her daughter had thrown on the ground, Li Manjun's panic calmed down a little.
She never expected that Sister Zhou's words of wanting to go home would frighten her even more than the plummeting stock price.
In the past three years, if Sister Zhou had not been here and no one had rescued her from taking care of children and complicated housework, where would Li Manjun be today?
A good live-in nanny is so important.
Li Manjun first put down her luggage, went back to her room to tidy up, and put on her home clothes. Seeing that Sister Zhou had finished her work, she found the opportunity to ask her why she wanted to go back.
"Didn't you agree to take me to kindergarten every year? Is there something going on at home? If you need it, Sister Zhou, just ask, don't be embarrassed."
Sister Zhou was a little embarrassed when she saw Li Manjun rushing back in such a hurry, but she still said awkwardly:
"There's nothing going on at home. It's just that my family raised pigs this year. It's too busy for me alone, so I asked me to go home and help."
Li Manjun's heart felt cold, not only because Sister Zhou was leaving and her daughter would have no one to take care of her, but also because the nanny suddenly changed and it would be difficult to get used to it.
It doesn't matter to the adults, the main thing is that the children are used to following Sister Zhou every year. If Sister Zhou leaves suddenly, she doesn't know how to explain the matter to such a young child.
"Why don't you find someone from the village to help and pay him a salary every month?" Li Manjun asked tentatively.
Sister Zhou waved her hand, "Raising pigs is dirty work, and they haven't been slaughtered yet, so there's no reason to find someone to do it."
They have to spend money to hire people before they even make any money. If something happens, they can't afford to pay for the labor costs.
She had told the old man at home to find a relative to help, but even if it was a relative, who would take care of it if it wasn't your own pig?
You have to be the one who puts your mind to it.
"Originally I didn't want to talk about it. Anyway, it's only been these few months. I'll tell you again next year when I can go to kindergarten every year."
"Alas" Sister Zhou sighed helplessly, thinking about leaving, her mood was very complicated.
After working in Li Manjun's house for so long, she has developed feelings for her children, and they are like a family. She thinks that if she leaves, she will feel uncomfortable if the next nanny comes and cannot take care of her children.
Seeing that there was no room for change, Li Manjun could only ask: "Then when do you want to leave?"
Sister Zhou said: "Next month, I'll wait until the end of November for you to find a new nanny. I'll wait until the new nanny arrives before leaving, so that everyone won't be in a hurry."
Li Manjun couldn't help but sigh, "Can't you really stay? I'll give you a little more salary."
Sister Zhou gave a helpless smile and did not respond.
Li Manjun could only smile firmly and was really ready to find a new nanny.
In the past few days, Zhao Yong, Mr. Qiu and Director Liang, went out to socialize every day to discuss the demolition and renovation project, and only came home in the middle of the night smelling of alcohol.
Li Manjun told him about Sister Zhou. Zhao Yong, who was walking to the bathroom, stumbled and leaned against the door frame with a cry.
Li Manjun was startled when he heard such a loud noise. He jumped up from the bed and rushed into the bathroom. Seeing that Zhao Yong just leaned on the door frame and did not fall, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Turn on the water, twist a handkerchief on him, and let him wipe his face to wake up.
"Didn't you say you won't drink too much?" He also always told her that he was the best at holding back alcohol and drinking fake alcohol, and he was actually drunk today.
Zhao Yong's mind was still clear, but his body was out of control. Li Manjun helped him sit down on the toilet seat, wiped his face, poured a glass of water and asked him to take two hangover pills. After a while, Zhao Yong rubbed his head.
ask:
"What should I do every year?"
Li Manjun tightened her nightgown and said, "I don't know."
"Then look for it again. I'm quite busy recently, so please worry about it." Zhao Yong said softly.
He knew that she was more annoyed than him.
Li Manjun nodded and asked if he was feeling better. Zhao Yong nodded, walked to the bed with light steps, fell down, and fell asleep.
Li Manjun took off his shoes and socks distressedly, covered him with a quilt, lay down himself, and closed his eyes to sleep.
But he didn't fall asleep!
She rarely suffers from insomnia, which shows how troublesome it is to find a new nanny.
Thinking that Mrs. Lin had many children in her family and had used many nannies and had quite a lot of experience, Li Manjun wanted to ask her and find an acquaintance to introduce her.
Just when she picked up the phone, she suddenly woke up. If it were Mrs. Lin, she would definitely persuade her to return to the family and take care of the children herself.
The hand that dialed the number moved a bit, and he simply called Shirley Zhong.
Shirley Chung has been in confinement for a month and a half, and now that she has just given birth, her baby is left to the care of a nanny.
But the difference between Shirley Zhong and her is that her own mother comes to keep an eye on the nanny, so she feels more at ease.
Li Manjun didn't want to call Wang Xiaojuan, but looking at it now, she had to.
Moreover, people may not be willing to come. Now that the store’s business has stabilized, and Aunt Wu and other friends are chatting and playing cards in the store, life is much more leisurely.
"Your aunt is leaving suddenly?" Shirley Zhong heard the news about Li Manjun's family and was worried for her.
Li Manjun had a headache, "Yes, I can't keep her. Besides, Sister Zhou has worked in my house for so long and has all the credit for her hard work. Now that she wants to leave, I have no reason to stop her."
"Do you have a reliable nanny? Please introduce one to me." If you go to the labor market to find one, the assessment will take longer.
Shirley Zhong was reliable. She immediately gave Li Manjun a phone number for human resources management and asked her to contact the other party, tell them the requirements, and ask this person to help with the screening.
"Don't worry, this human resources manager is my aunt's biological sister. If you tell me her name, she will help you find her carefully." Shirley Zhong said with a smile, always trying to comfort Li Manjun not to worry.
Li Manjun thanked her, hung up the phone, and called the human resources manager again.
When the other party heard that she was introduced by Shirley Zhong, he immediately patted his chest and promised to satisfy her.
Li Manjun said about his conditions, "You need to be able to read and speak Mandarin and Rongcheng dialect. The most important thing is to be good at communication and be honest."
She liked Sister Zhou so much because Sister Zhou would never make any arrangements for her children on her own. Even if Wang Xiaojuan came, she would deal with it first and then discuss it with her later.
Nian Nian seemed to know that Sister Zhou was leaving, and the children had their own emotions. When Li Manjun came home from get off work, the lively little girl lost her energy and clung to her mother. Wherever Li Manjun went, there was a little tail following behind her.
