022 Do you think that I live on wages?

Sure enough, seeing Cao Zhiqiang like this, Banggeng standing outside the door felt his anger rising, clenched his fists, and subconsciously wanted to go up and take action.

But soon, he loosened his fist again.

Yes, he is different now. He is a driver for the leaders of ministries and commissions, and he has the highest income and status among the young people in the hospital.

How can porcelain and earthen pots come into contact?

How could he, a man with a bright future, act like a second-rate man?

"Hmph, dog meat won't make it to the table." Banggeng took a deep breath, "Cao Zhiqiang, don't be proud, there will be times when you cry!"

"Oops." Cao Zhiqiang still turned his back to the stick and swept around with his hand, "What's going on? It's only early spring and there are flies flying around here? Where is the humming sound of flies coming from?"

"I won't argue with you." Banggeng exhaled again, "Okay, just have fun here, sooner or later you will regret it!"

After saying this, as if he was afraid of being ridiculed by Cao Zhiqiang again, he held his bag under his arm and left Xikuoyuan in a hurry.

"Brother!" Sophora japonica called out to Banggan's back.

After noticing that Banggeng kept walking and left quickly, Huaihua pouted and said loudly to Cao Zhiqiang: "Cao Zhiqiang, what's the matter with you?"

Cao Zhiqiang turned down the volume of the recorder, turned around and said, "What's going on?"

"That's my brother!" Huaihua said, "What's wrong with you letting him order?"

Cao Zhiqiang rolled his eyes: "Who am I? Why should I give in to him? Just because he is uglier than me?"

As soon as she said this, Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, who happened to open the door, heard it, and then Qiao Simei burst into laughter.

"Why did you come out?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

"Simei needs to go to the toilet, I will take her to the toilet." Cao Lili said.

"Go, go," Cao Zhiqiang said, "Be careful on the road."

"Oh." Cao Lili agreed, then pulled the smiling Qiao Simei away.

Well, in fact, although the toilet is outside, it is still safe. In addition, it is still daytime, and with Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, Cao Zhiqiang is actually quite relieved that there is no need to follow closely.

But this incident did serve as a reminder to Cao Zhiqiang.

It seems that house renovation should be put on the agenda.

At least there needs to be a separate toilet.

It’s just that this project is not small.

And the most critical thing is not the project quantity, but the approval from the relevant departments.

But it's not a big problem.

All you need to do is talk to the neighborhood committee and then go to the sanitation department. At most, you can pay some money and it shouldn't be too difficult.

"Hey, I have a question for you!" Sophora japonica suddenly said.

"Ah?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned when he came back to his senses, "What did you just say?"

Huaihua curled her lips: "I just said, can't you just look at my face and give way to my brother?"

"Looking at your face?" Cao Zhiqiang smiled and subconsciously wanted to say, how much is your face worth?

Fortunately, Cao Zhiqiang's emotional intelligence is still passable, and the words come to his lips:

"It's just because of your face that I only insulted him a few words and didn't share his common knowledge.

Otherwise, given my previous temper, if he had just dared to criticize me in front of me like this, I would have slapped him with a big mouth!"

Huaihua just opened her mouth to refute, but suddenly thought of something, she lowered her head with a blushing face: "You, you... Anyway, from now on, you should let him have some control. He, my brother, has that temper. He has a sharp mouth and a soft heart. In fact,

He is quite nice."

Seeing Huaihua's expression, Cao Zhiqiang blinked and thought to himself, does this girl have any thoughts about me?

Just when she was about to taunt her directly, she completely stopped her thoughts, but then she thought about the stupid person behind her.

Well, let’s discuss it again.

Besides, Sophora japonica is actually quite beautiful and very capable. I would like to take this opportunity to ask her to help me clean my room for free and act as a free nanny. Shouldn’t that be a problem?

Oops, no, this is too scumbag.

Just give me money.

"Ahem." Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly said, "Sophora japonica, while there are no outsiders here, can I discuss something with you?"

"Ah?" Huaihua suddenly raised her head and looked at Cao Zhiqiang blankly, "You, you..."

Soon, Huaihua lowered her head again, playing with the corner of her clothes, and whispered: "You, what do you want to say? However, my mother must agree to this."

"Your mother agrees?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"What are you thinking about?

I mean, I may be very busy in the future and may not be able to take care of the house all day long.

But now I have two younger sisters to take care of, and it’s not convenient for me to be an older man.

So, see if this can be done.

From now on, you will come over every day to help me clean the room, and take care of my two sisters by the way, such as helping with cooking, helping with homework, and so on.

I don't worry about Lili, she has always been good in studies and has strong self-care ability.

But that Qiao Simei.

After all, she is a naive child.

Moreover, she came all the way here alone and couldn't go to school here, but she couldn't let her progress fall behind when it came to studying.

You have graduated from high school after all, so tutoring an elementary school student shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, if I don't go home at night, I'll ask you to help me make a meal.

I’ll give you the recipe later. Everything else doesn’t matter, but you must ensure that your child has meat, eggs, and milk in every meal.”

Having said this, Cao Zhiqiang took out three ten-yuan bills: "If you agree to help me clean the room every day, take care of the children, and of course cook, wash dishes and chopsticks, I will give you thirty yuan a month.

You have to agree, just take this money and use it as my advance payment, what do you think?"

Huaihua was stunned, looked at Cao Zhiqiang, and then at the three ten-yuan bills in Cao Zhiqiang's hand.

"You, you want me to be your nanny?"

"Hi! That's what you said." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "Nanny sounds terrible. You are so beautiful, capable, and well-educated. How can I let you be a nanny?

Moreover, the nanny lives at home, and you don’t live in my house. You just take time to help me, which has nothing to do with being a nanny."

Yes, being a nanny during this period is still a profession that is looked down upon by others, so of course Cao Zhiqiang cannot say that.

Even if that's what he actually had in mind.

"That's it." Cao Zhiqiang explained.

"I'm just asking you to do me a favor.

After all, we are all neighbors on the street. If someone has a problem or something, it is normal to ask a neighbor for help, right?

I'm having a hard time right now.

Because I am currently on the rise in my career, I will be very busy in the future.

But the family already had a younger sister who was a primary school student, and now they have another child, both of whom are girls.

You said that it is not convenient for me to take care of a grown man.

As for the money, it's just my thoughts. After all, I can't let you help me in vain.

Helping also requires hard work, and of course you should be paid according to your work.

Of course, I just want you to help take care of the two children and clean the living room and the south room, which is my sister's room.

You don't need to clean my room. I'm not used to other people messing around in my room. I clean up my room myself.

If you feel it is inappropriate...

I can add money."

"Add more money?" Huaihua said subconsciously, "How much more?"

Cao Zhiqiang said carefully: "How about adding another piece?"

Seeing Huaihua's face downcast, Cao Zhiqiang quickly smiled and said, "How can I do that? I'm just kidding. It's okay to add ten yuan, right?"

"Forty yuan a month?" Huaihua blinked, "Isn't this higher than your salary?"

Then, Huaihua said: "You give me so much money, what do you do? I know that your monthly salary is not that high now."

"Haha!" Cao Zhiqiang shrugged and pointed at the tape recorder at home, "Do you think I live on salary?"

Huaihua looked at the tape recorder, then at the refrigerator and washing machine, and nodded: "It really doesn't look like it!"

"This is incredible." Cao Zhiqiang spread his hands, "So do you agree or not? Otherwise I will find someone else. I think Liu Yuanyuan in the front yard is very interested."

"No!" Huaihua said quickly, "She can't do it! Don't look for her!"

Soon, Huaihua immediately explained: "I mean, uh, her brother Liu Ka-shing seems to have just found a job for her. She, she will be very busy in the future, so there is no need to trouble her."

Cao Zhiqiang said with a half-smile, "Then you agreed?"

Huaihua pursed her lips: "A promise is a promise, but can I add a condition?"

"What conditions?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

Huaihua lowered her head: "Can I, can I eat here with you and them from now on?"

"Ah, let's eat." Cao Zhiqiang tilted his lips, then shrugged, "Of course it's no problem, it's just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks."

"Open and bright!" Huaihua laughed, then snatched the money from Cao Zhiqiang's hand, "I'm still ten yuan short!"

Cao Zhiqiang took out another ten dollars and handed it to her while saying calmly: "Then it's settled, but can your parents agree? Especially your stupid dad, can you do it?"

"There's no problem with silly dad." Huaihua said with a smile while counting the money, "It's my mom...it's okay. I will definitely be able to convince her. Wait for my good news!"

After saying that, Huaihua took the money and left lightly.

Looking at the back of Sophora japonica leaving here, Cao Zhiqiang silently touched the tip of his nose.

"Actually, I really just want to be a housekeeper and use you. I just hope that after the dust settles, you won't get into it too deeply."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang stretched and squinted his eyes and looked at the sky: "Well, how can I take care of her now? I'd better take care of myself first! It's almost over now, it's time to consider the next step."
