After Xie Chong went out to school, Xie Jing was the most miserable. At the age of four or five, he was willing to be his brother's follower. When his brother came back on weekends, he would definitely take him to play football and teach him how to bounce, dribble, and shoot the ball.
Xie Jing couldn't make a single move. His head was not as big as a football. He couldn't lift it up or carry it. He even had no strength to shoot. He would often fall over the football and fall over it.
Xie Chong laughed at him as a "little clumsy", but he was not angry. Instead, he admired his brother more and more. He studied well and played football well, and he showed off everywhere in the kindergarten. If a child bullied him, he would say domineeringly: "
I’ll let my brother beat you!”
Indeed, on weekdays, as long as Xie Chong stood on the street, no one would dare to bully Xie Jing.
Xie Hongxuan kept his promise at that time. In terms of raising Xie Jing, he and his wife mainly contributed money and efforts, and their children helped. Xie Hongxuan and his wife persisted in working and also saved some money. The money was enough to support Xie Jing through high school.
, that way there will be less pressure on the children.
Thinking of her parents' kindness in helping them repay their huge debt, Wang Jiying convinced herself that she should try to be gentler to Xie Jing. In the future, when her parents are gone, the couple will take on the responsibility of raising him. Occasionally, she will also think about what happens if Xie Jing grows up.
Now, his biological parents come to visit, can the family accept it?
At dusk on a spring day, the magnolias in the yard were in bloom. Xie Chong was on weekend leave. When he returned home, Xie Jing hugged his thigh and walked around. Xie Ying sat in the courtyard reading quietly, occasionally lifting
At first, he looked at his elder brother and younger brother tenderly... That picture made the Xie family feel warm in their hearts, and they hoped that such good days would continue.
Xie Chong's family still lives in his grandfather's house, not because they don't have money to rent a house, but because his parents are budgeting carefully and plan to move into a grand building in the new millennium.
Judging from the current situation, this plan is fully possible to realize. After several years of development, "Qingyi" has become the leading domestic service company in the city, and its business scope has also continued to expand.
I think back then, "friendship" went through a long period of neglect. People who came to the city were used to being thrifty. Even if housework took up a considerable part of their time, they were reluctant to hire someone to clean it. As for changing gas, going to the market to buy vegetables.
They are even less willing to pay others to do such chores.
Therefore, when it first opened, Qingyi only introduced nannies and caregivers to a few households. At other times, it was completely empty.
Xie Qing was able to keep his composure. Every day after get off work, he always traveled tirelessly to the wealthy areas of the city, especially the communities where some retired cadres lived. The people who looked at the door almost knew him. He was thick-skinned, even if he was rejected, I still insist on sending out all the flyers I have.
Not to mention, he found a few child care workers, who looked like veteran cadres, had elegant temperaments and good conversational skills. The child care workers tried their best to introduce the benefits of "part-time work", focusing on "the couple no longer have to worry about housework".
"A live quarrel", it is said vividly.
After a period of time, the real veteran cadre was moved. If a few hundred yuan a month can buy the freedom of his hands and the peace of his family, then the money is worth spending.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it begins when you are almost giving up. "Friendship" is like the rain that comes after a long drought, fully absorbing the water, and finally the branches and leaves flourish and take root deeply in Laicheng.
Many years ago, when Xie Qingshou and his wife were working hard in their careers, they briefly hired a nanny to take care of the young Xie Chong. Xie Qingshou vaguely remembered that the nanny mentioned the "weekend school" as a way for the government to solve their problems.
Employment issues, special training courses.
After the "friendship" situation improved a bit, Xie Qingshou contacted his friends in Guangzhou and asked them to introduce a teacher from the "weekend school" to teach the housekeeping aunt who came to the city.
This expenditure almost equaled the income of Xie Qing and his wife for two months. Wang Jiying was so distressed that she discussed with her husband, how about finding an "actor" to pretend to be an expert from Guangzhou?
Xie Qingshou said seriously: "Of course not. To be honest, we are both engaged in this industry, and I don't know much about it myself. I would like to spend money to hire an expert to teach us so that we can learn more together."
An expert from Guangzhou came by plane. She was a genuine Cantonese. Xie Qing was stunned because he couldn't communicate with her. He had no choice but to wait for his son to come home during the weekend vacation and translate for them.
Xie Qingshou rented a small conference room in a hotel in the city, and it was packed. Many aunts came here because they wanted to get better job opportunities through this study. Xie Qingshou took notes meticulously and studied.
There is a lot of knowledge about nursing and nutrition, as well as the etiquette of dealing with others. The expert is indeed an expert. Even details such as how to tie a tie, how to store socks and underwear are clearly explained, and everyone has benefited a lot.
After the two-day training, Xie Qingshou spent a lot of money to find a reporter and published a large report in the "Laicheng Evening News". With the vigorous publicity of the authoritative media, the number of customers of "Qingyi" doubled or tripled.
Xie Chong spends most of his time in school and knows almost nothing about the changes at home. His most intuitive feeling is that the cost of living has increased a lot, and his living cost is almost the highest in the class. Many classmates think that his family has a lot of money.
Money, but Xie Chong still remembered the scene when his family returned to Laicheng in disgrace. Therefore, he did not dare to spend money recklessly. Every money he spent was a necessary expenditure.
After entering 1999, several customers entered the door of "Friendship". They all wanted to find an aunt who would specialize in taking care of the confinement. They all had the same question - "Friendship" has become so big, is there no "Confinement Sister"?
"This service?"
Wang Jiying first found a satisfactory aunt for them, and then discussed with her husband whether to go to the hospital to distribute leaflets and focus on expanding the "confinement nanny" business segment?
You should know that although people coming to the city still have a vague concept of "nanny", this industry has already been booming in big cities.
Just do what you say. This time Xie Qingshou hired experts for training, specifically teaching aunts how to take care of newborns, and the most important thing is scientific parenting. Xie Qingshou also asked experts to organize an exam. Only those who pass the exam can be employed that month.
Sister-in-law.
In this way, "Qingyi" became the first confinement nanny training base in the city, and the scale of "Qingyi" reached a new level.
I was busy and didn't make a fortune, but my family's life was all well-off. I couldn't spend a lot of money, but I didn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing, and transportation. This kind of life was already very good. So I paid off all the debts and bought a house.
A large three-bedroom house was all Xie Qingshou's wish for in 1999.
