The little nanny timidly called out: "Hello, uncle,"
Chang Miaoke on the side almost laughed. Ye Shaofeng said quickly: "Don't call me uncle. I am only thirty years old this year, and my wife is only twenty-eight. She is seven or eight years older than her. If you call me uncle, that's okay." If you don’t call us old all of a sudden,”
"Oh, that's right, let's call him Brother Ye, and that one is Sister Ye," Liu Gang corrected again.
"Hello, brother Ye, hello, sister-in-law Ye," the little girl called shyly. Although this title sounded a bit uncomfortable, there is currently no better title than this.
Seeing that Ye Shaofeng and the others happily accepted this little nanny, Liu Gang's task could be considered accomplished. Seeing that it was already getting late, he said: "Well, Governor Ye, it's so late, so I won't disturb you two from resting. Let’s go first,”
"Why don't we have some food? Why don't we go out," Ye Shaofeng said politely.
"No, no, there are still things to do in the army. Next time, next time I have booked a place and come to invite Governor Ye in person,"
After Liu Gang left, the nanny Tian Miao still stood nervously next to the sofa, holding a small suitcase in her hand, which probably contained some of his simple luggage.
Ye Shaofeng went directly upstairs to the study. He still had some work to deal with. Chang Miaoke said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, sit down."
Tian Miao sat down and took a seat on the corner of the sofa.
Chang Miaoke asked: "Your name is Tian Miao, right? Where do you live from?"
"Sister-in-law Ye, my home is in Yidong City, Province H," Tian Miao said.
"You are not very young this year, how can you do a job as a nanny?"
"I will be 20 years old in May. After graduating from high school, I originally wanted to go to college, but my family's financial situation was not good. My father gambled and owed a lot of money. My brother was not doing his job properly and could not make any money. There was no money in the family. They provided for me to go to college, so I couldn’t go and had to work,” Tian Miao said.
"Oh, it must have been four years since you came out. You must have suffered a lot,"
"It doesn't matter if we suffer. Our family is a village in Yidong City. We rural people are not afraid of hardship," Tian Miao said.
"Well, okay, since you are staying, then do your best. In fact, there is nothing to do at home, just doing housework and cooking. Your brother Ye is very busy every day and doesn't come back until very late. Basically, there is nothing to do at home. It's just the two of us. If we have a guest occasionally, you can be responsible for serving tea and water. You should be fine with this,"
"Of course it's no problem. I started working as a nanny when I was sixteen. I worked as a nanny for two years, and I also worked as a confinement nanny. At first, people thought I was too young and didn't trust me, but I served them. After a few days, everyone was full of praise for me," Tian Miao said with a smile. She was obviously much more comfortable in front of Chang Miaoke than in front of Ye Shaofeng.
When Tian Miao came, Liu Gang told her who the family was. He, an ordinary nanny, must have been nervous when meeting a high-ranking official like Ye Shaofeng. But now that he had a few words with Chang Miaoke, he felt nervous. It is also slowly being eliminated.
"From now on, don't call me sister-in-law. It sounds awkward. Judging from your age, you are about the same age as my sister, so just call me sister," Chang Miaoke said.
"Okay, then I will call you sister from now on. Do you need me to do anything now," Tian Miao said.
"That's not necessary. Let's go. I will take you to your room first, and then I will help you get familiar with this home. From now on, you will be a part of this place." After saying that, Chang Miaoke wanted to help Tian Miao carry his luggage, and Tian Miao hurriedly He took the first step, carried the luggage in his hands, and said: "You are pregnant. The early stage of pregnancy is very important. From now on, I will serve you at home. You must not do these actions of carrying and lifting things. If you want to go shopping or buy things, , you must let me accompany you, if I cannot take care of you, Political Commissar Liu will definitely be rude to me,"
"How do you know Political Commissar Liu?"
"In the past, I worked as a nanny for a veteran cadre in their military region. The veteran said I did a good job. Later, when the daughter-in-law of the veteran cadre's family became pregnant, I also went to take care of the daughter-in-law. After the daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, I also helped her. He took care of the confinement. As soon as the confinement was over, they moved into the city. I originally wanted to go home and have a rest. After all, the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and I was a little homesick. But just a few days after returning home, Political Commissar Liu People from the military region came to me and asked me to come back. They said there was a job and the salary was much higher than before, so I came back," Tian Miao said.
"Oh, not bad," Chang Miaoke said, and began to take him to familiarize himself with each room, and also told her how to use some commonly used electrical appliances, and then told him some household chores that he must do every day. The nanny was quite professional and took I remember it very clearly even in a small notebook. Chang Miaoke was quite satisfied with this girl.
After finishing his work, Chang Miaoke arranged for Tian Miao to stay in a guest room on the first floor. Then he took two thousand yuan and gave it to her and said, "This is your room. From now on, you can use it as your own home." That’s it. By the way, I’ll give you some money first to buy some daily necessities,”
"No, no, sister Chang, this is unacceptable. I have a salary, so you don't need to give me money," Tian Miao didn't dare to ask for it.
"Salary is salary. This money can be regarded as some subsidy for you. Take it and buy some daily necessities. You can just tell me how much money you have to buy food in the future."
Tian Miao still refused to accept it, but after Chang Miaoke's repeated requests, she still accepted the money and kept it carefully.
"There are two unworn home clothes in this cabinet. You can wear them. From now on, you don't need to wear work clothes at home. Just wear home clothes, clean and neat."
"Yes, I understand, Sister Chang,"
"Then you rest first, I'll go to bed too,"
After finishing all their work, Chang Miaoke went upstairs and walked into the study. Ye Shaofeng was still immersed in sorting out some information. Chang Miaoke took away the cup of tea on the coffee table and poured it, replacing it with a glass of water, and mixed it with strong tea in the evening. The tea is not good.
Ye Shaofeng stretched and breathed, looked at Chang Miaoke and said, "How about the nanny? Are you satisfied with it? If not, we will find a reason to get her away in two days, and then we can look for it ourselves."
"Don't worry, I'll just look at this. You're young, quite sensible, and quite obedient. From now on, I can have someone with you when you're not at home," Chang Miaoke said.
"By the way, there's something I need to tell you."
"What happened,"
Ye Shaofeng smiled and took out a small box from the drawer...
