When leaving the restaurant, Tong Yao's mother took the child over and liked her for a while, still sighing and saying the same thing, "Yao Yao, why are you not in a hurry to get married? How nice would it be if you let me hold my grandson earlier?"
"
I smiled and said, "Auntie, it would be good for me if she gets married later and has children. If you go to have your grandson, who will take care of my restaurant?"
The old lady also laughed immediately, "Doctor Feng, just say something nice for her. Oh, this child! Doctor Feng, your child is so good. I can't bear to give him back to you."
I suddenly remembered some things that might happen next at home, and hurriedly asked the old lady in a low voice, "Auntie, I want to trouble you with something. Do you think any of the waiters in this restaurant have that kind of honesty?
And she is very diligent. I want to find someone who keeps it confidential. There is no need to tell her about the salary issue, it is just higher than what she does in the restaurant. The current salary of the waiter in the restaurant is 800, right? I will give 2,000, and there is still money at the end of the year.
reward.”
The old lady looked at me in surprise, "Aren't your parents at home? Why do you need a nanny? Even the best nanny is an outsider, and she will always feel disliked at home."
I said: "Now that the child is back, we are too busy with many things at home."
The old lady nodded, thought for a while and said: "I think it's good to have one. This kid is honest and very diligent. He was introduced by the village chief who sent us the fish. Why don't you take a look now?
?”
Her words suddenly reminded me of Shangguan Qin, and I hurriedly said: "Okay, please call her to see me, and ask her what she means personally."
After a while, the old lady called the waiter. She was a little girl who looked less than twenty years old. Her appearance was very ordinary, but she gave people the impression of thick bones, because her arms and legs looked
It seemed a bit too long, and I also found that her hands and feet were a bit big. I couldn't help but think: If this child stayed in the countryside, she might be a good hand at farm work. But I also felt that she
He should be more diligent.
When she came to me, she lowered her head and looked a little nervous. I said to her gently: "How old are you? What's your name? Are you related to your village chief Hu?"
She immediately raised her head and asked, "Do you know my uncle?"
I smiled and nodded to her, "I introduced the fresh fish in your village to this city. I've been to your village, but you haven't seen me?"
She looked at me with wide eyes, "Really? When?"
I gave an approximate time.
She said: "Oh, I was working in a factory in the town at that time. Later, the factory collapsed, so my uncle introduced me here."
I said: "That's right. You haven't answered my previous question yet. How old are you this year?"
She replied: "Nineteen years old. My name is Hu Lixiang."
I almost laughed out loud: "Fox Xiang"? Why don't these country people consider homophonic sounds when choosing names? I suppressed my laughter and continued to ask her: "You are not old, why don't you go to school? Graduated from high school.
Yet?"
She shook her head, "I only studied in high school for one year. My mother said it was useless for girls to study, so she asked me to work part-time. My grades were not good and I didn't want to study anymore, so I dropped out of school."
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: Situations like hers may be more common in remote villages. Then I asked her again: "How long have you been working here? How do you feel?"
She said: "I've only been here for three months and I think it's pretty good. I get 800 yuan including food and accommodation for a month. If I do a good job, I get a bonus. That adds up to more than 1,000 yuan a month. It's better than what I used to do."
The factory is nice, and this is a big city with many fun places. I like it here."
I could tell that she really liked it here, because the excitement in her tone was completely natural.
I asked again: "Can you cook? Can you use a washing machine?"
She looked at me in surprise, and then answered me, "Girls in our rural areas can cook. I even learned to cook a few dishes after I got here. I can also use a washing machine. I live there in the town."
We have a washing machine there when we work in the factory." Then she looked at me with doubtful eyes, "Why are you asking me this?"
The old lady beside her smiled and said: "Xiao Hu, let me tell you, he is the real boss of our restaurant."
She looked at me in surprise, "Really? Why do I feel like you don't look like a boss?"
I was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "You think all bosses should be guys with big bellies and fat all over their bodies, right?"
She also laughed, "Anyway, the bosses I saw in our town and county are all fat, and they often drink. Every time I see them, their faces are red and they smell of alcohol."
I thought this little girl was really funny, so I couldn’t help but laugh. The old lady was also laughing next to me. Just now, the old lady just introduced me as the real boss here, but she didn’t tell me my intention. Obviously, the old lady
I don't know yet whether I am satisfied with this little girl.
In fact, I was already somewhat satisfied with her at this time. On the one hand, she seemed relatively simple, and on the other hand, she was from the place where Shangguanqin once helped the poor, so I naturally had a crush on her in my heart.
A good feeling. Maybe it’s because I still feel guilty and longing for Shangguan Qin deep in my heart.
Then I asked her: "Xiao Hu, it's like this. My family currently needs a nanny. There are only four people in my family now, my parents, this child, and me. My father works in a supermarket on weekdays.
, my mother and children will be at home for a long time. What about me? Because I am too busy at work, I often cannot take care of things at home. If you are willing to work as a nanny in my house, I can give you a salary of 3,000 yuan a month. In fact,
That means taking care of the children, maybe cooking, washing clothes, and by the way, mainly cleaning the house, anyway, it’s just the work at home. If you are willing, come back with me now, because I will do it right now
We just need people.”
She looked at me with wide eyes, "Three thousand? That much? Does it include food and accommodation?"
I couldn't help but laugh, "Of course. You can only live in my house, otherwise, why would you be called a nanny?"
She put one hand on her chest and said, "It's so much money. Of course I am willing."
The old lady was also laughing next to her, and I immediately said to her: "Auntie, please leave her ID and everything else with you. I will take her away."
Hu Lixiang said: "I'm going to pack up and bring my things."
I smiled and said, "You don't need to bring anything. Just bring your valuables, such as money and so on. I'll give you money to buy the rest tomorrow. Go and pack them up quickly. There are some that you don't need."
Don’t bring anything with you.”
She went immediately, and when she left I heard her whisper, "This man is really rich and yet so generous."
The old lady and I couldn't help but laugh. The old lady then said to me: "Dr. Feng, your salary is too high at the beginning. What will you do in the future?"
I thought to myself: You don’t know the guilt in my heart. I said: "Auntie, money is not the most important thing. What is important is that she is willing to do it and can do things well. And my parents must be satisfied.
The children also have to like her, that's the most important thing."
The old lady said: "Your child speaks English very well. You can hire a college student for the price. That will also be good for the child."
I shook my head, "It is better for nannies to be more simple. Although the quality of college students is much higher, it will be very troublesome to manage them in the future."
In fact, I think what the old lady said is right, but I suddenly thought of Udon Mei. I feel that the nanny I hire now should first of all mean that I have no desire for her. It’s not that I don’t trust others, but that I don’t feel at ease.
Myself.
This girl named Hu Lixiang looks like a very simple type from the mountains. Such a girl should be more obedient and can also help the family with a lot of things. Although she looks a little different, I hired her.
Just a nanny and nothing else.
She came quickly, holding a woven bag in her hand. I couldn't help but smile bitterly: Why is this child still reluctant to throw away these things?
I put her things in the trunk of the off-road vehicle, "Xiao Hu, pick up the child and get in the car."
She went to take the child from the old lady. The child struggled a few times in her arms and said "N0" dissatisfiedly.
Hu Lixiang was very surprised, "Why does this little kid speak a foreign language? It's so strange."
I smiled and said to her: "He just came back from abroad and he doesn't speak Chinese very well. By the way, you have attended high school for one year. Do you know basic English?"
She said sheepishly: "I know a little bit."
I smiled and said to her: "Then try saying something to him now."
She opened her mouth several times before finally saying to the child, "Who are you?"
I immediately laughed because I discovered that the foreign language of this girl named Hu Lixiang had a strong local accent.
However, the child suddenly showed a kind of surprise. He immediately looked at her with a nervous look, and a beautiful laughter burst out of his mouth.
I was very happy and said, "Look, Xiao Hu, you can communicate now. But from now on, you have to slowly teach him to speak Chinese."
She was also very surprised and happy, "This little baby is so funny."
I said goodbye to the old lady and drove away. At this time, Hu Lixiang came and asked me: "Uncle, what is your name? What is the name of this little baby?"
I smiled and said, "You kid, why are you asking me now? Aren't you afraid that I am a bad guy and will take you to sell you?"
But she said: "You don't look like a bad person at first glance. Besides, it was the owner of our restaurant who handed me over to you, so of course I'm relieved."
I nodded, "That's true. But I don't agree with what you said before. Because many bad people can't be seen at a glance. The situation in the city is different from that in the countryside. Don't trust others casually. Xiao Hu, you
When you arrive at my house, I don’t have many requests for you, just a few points. I hope you can remember them at all times. The first is to take good care of the elderly and children for me. My parents are very polite to people and easy to get along with, but they
After all, you are older, so you have to take the initiative to do more of many things."
She said: "Don't worry, girls from our countryside don't have many other advantages besides being diligent." (To be continued)
