Chapter 103 nanny
Taking advantage of the time in the afternoon, Zong Shao went directly to the roof and replaced the broken tiles. He checked earlier and said that only a few tiles were faulty, but in the end, there were about ten tiles replaced, and most of them were not damaged at the four corners. , or it is not enough to cover up with other tiles.
After the replacement, they still had dozens of tiles left. After dinner in the evening, Zong Shao went to the neighbor’s house in the back and told them about the tiles.
When Zong Shao said that the tiles were provided for free, those military wives who thought their tiles were fine and did not leak rain couldn’t help but let their men go on the roof to inspect the tiles.
During this inspection, there are really damaged ones, but everyone is not too greedy. Basically, they plan to replace the ones that are seriously damaged. One household will take five, six, seven or eight tiles back and replace the old tiles directly.
So that evening, the families behind the family area were busy until it got dark.
When other families were busy, Lin Wei was not idle.
Although a few tiles are nothing, they are not the kind of people who take tiles for nothing. They more or less brought something from home, including snacks, fruits, and pickles. Belongs to the characteristics of the home.
Because all the people who brought things were military wives, they were received by Lin Wei. In addition, everyone was not completely separated. When there were many people, it was easy to chat, so Lin Wei’s house became lively.
We chatted until it was dark, and it was after seven o’clock that everyone dispersed until it was time to wash up and go to bed.
Seeing them leave, Zong Shao just came back from outside. It’s not that he is not willing to deal with these military wives, but there are many women in the family.
After Zong Shao came back, he went to the front and greeted Mingming Ruirui to go home to take a bath. When they finished taking a bath, he tidied up the bathroom a little, added water and asked Lin Wei to take a bath.
After Lin Wei’s belly got bigger, the order of bathing in their family was relatively fixed, first the two children, then Lin Wei, and finally him. After taking a shower, he would tidy up the bathroom by the way, and then wash the clothes and hang them outside to dry. .
While Zong Shao was doing laundry, Lin Wei coaxed the two children to sleep upstairs.
In terms of coaxing children, she is much gentler than Zong Shao, but this also easily encourages the arrogance of the two children. The most obvious thing is that when Zong Shao coaxes them, they can fall asleep in ten minutes, while Lin Wei coaxes them for half an hour. Very often, in the end, Zong Shao came to see after finishing his work and took over Lin Wei’s work to let them sleep.
Just need to clean up.
It was the same tonight. Lin Wei read this storybook until her mouth was dry, and the two children were still chattering there.
Zong Shao went upstairs after washing his clothes and saw it. He went directly to the master bedroom to get a military book and started hypnosis. Within ten minutes, the two children fell asleep one after another.
Zong Shao said: “If you want to coax them to sleep, you shouldn’t take a storybook.”
“Didn’t I want to leave such an important job to you?” Lin Wei laughed and suddenly said “Yeah”.
Zong Shao hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong?”
Lin Wei lowered her head and slowly put her hand on her stomach. After feeling it for a while, she raised her head and smiled, “It’s kicking me, it’s very powerful.”
Generally speaking, you can feel fetal movement in four or five months of pregnancy, but the amplitude is relatively small and not obvious at the beginning. Lin Wei was six months pregnant, and the baby would move before, but the movements were light and brief, and they stopped almost immediately.
From the old shígG Dujia to now, she felt that the child kicked her several times, and the force was not light.
Zong Shao’s eyes lit up and asked, “Really?”
“Really, it’s still moving.” Lin Wei stiffened her stomach and said, “If you don’t believe me, touch it.”
Zong Shao squatted down, pulled up Lin Wei’s clothes, and put his hand on her belly. Soon, he raised his head and said, “It’s kicking my hand.”
He put his ear on it again, but the fetal movement sound was very small. He seemed to hear the sound, but he didn’t seem to hear it. Anyway, it was better to put it on the hand and feel it.
The little guy played in Lin Wei’s belly for a while before he stopped. During this time, Zong Shao kept his hand on Lin Wei’s belly and said more than usual: “How old do you think it will be when it is born?”
Lin Wei said, “It should be heavier than when Ruirui was born.”
“Definitely.” Zong Shao didn’t catch up with Lin Wei to give birth to a child, but he was not a few days late. He saw Mingming Ruirui’s small appearance, “It will be a healthy child.”
Although it was so uncomfortable to see Lin Wei pregnant before, Zong Shao couldn’t help but regret it, and his feelings for this child were a bit complicated, but most of the time, he loved this child.
After talking about it, thinking that the child was not born in the previous life, he felt a little more distressed about it.
In this life, he hoped that Lin Wei and the children would be well.
…
Zong Shao still arranged for an acquaintance to find a nanny. The other party acted quickly and gave him the information of the three people within a few days. When I got home that day, Zong Shao started talking to Lin Wei.
Zong Shao said: “They are all members of the nearby brigade. Two of them have children and one does not, but Jiang said they are all hardworking people.”
Lao Jiang is from the fishing brigade next to the family area. A few years ago, he met Zong Shao by chance. Because of their personalities, the two quickly became acquainted with each other. Because he has an active mind and a wide network of contacts, Zong Shao used to find people to buy furniture and buy eggs for his help.
Lin Wei thought about it and asked, “What’s going on in these families? Who are there?”
Lao Jiang’s work is reliable, and Zong Shao was told all this information in advance. When Lin Wei asked, Zong Shao simply told everyone’s family situation.
There are three people in total, surnamed Li, Ding and Zhang respectively. Sister Li is from the fishing brigade and has four children with her husband, but she has parents-in-law who support her to earn money and help take care of the children.
Sister Ding is from the agricultural brigade. Although she has no parents-in-law, the first two children are older, one is twelve and one is nine years old, and they can help take care of her younger siblings.
Big sister Zhang, it may not be appropriate to call this big sister. She has only been married for more than a year, and she may be younger than Lin Wei. Because she has not been married for a long time, she has never given birth to children. She may not be as good as the first two eldest sisters in taking care of pregnant women, but her advantage is that she is not dragged down at all, and she loves cleanliness.
Hearing this, Lin Wei asked: “The first two big sisters don’t like cleanliness?”
“It’s not to the point where I don’t like cleanliness, but the hygiene is worse than the last one. Jiang told them that we have higher hygiene requirements.” Zong Shao said.
“What about character?”
“They are all honest people. Among them, Sister Li and Lao Jiang are in a team. He said that Sister Li is a famous honest person in their team.” Zong Shao said, “If you are undecided, I will let Lao Jiang take everyone with you. Come here and see you all.”
“Together?”
“It’s all right.”
“Then let’s separate,” Lin Wei asked. “Aren’t the three of them from the same team?”
Zong Shao shook his head: “No, it’s easy to argue with someone from a team at the same time. I asked him to find them separately, but the other two are from his wife’s team and the team next to them. They are all acquaintances.” Not familiar.
Lin Wei nodded: “Then let’s go this Sunday, you happen to be at home.”
“it is good.”
…
On Sunday, Lin Wei got up early in the morning.
This is very rare. It may be that after life and death, the mood is relaxed. Lin Wei has been snoozing very much recently. Now Zong Shao bought the breakfast for the two children before going to the military camp.
Today is also because she is going to be interviewed, so she will get up early.
Zong Shao wondered: “The interview is scheduled for the afternoon. What are you doing up so early?”
“I’m getting ready.” Lin Wei said.
Zong Shao was even more puzzled: “What are you going to do?”
Lin Wei said confidently: “It’s my first time interviewing someone, so of course I have to think carefully about what questions to ask.”
Zong Shao: “Okay.”
After lunch, Lao Jiang came with someone, because there was someone guarding the door of the family area, so Zong Shao brought them in.
The first interviewee was Sister Li. As Lao Jiang said, she was indeed an honest person, but she might be a little nervous, and she didn’t dare to speak in front of Lin Wei, she seemed a little timid.
Lin Wei asked her about the situation at home, and she answered hesitantly, seeing Lao Jiang frown, and asked her why she was nervous after taking the person out.
Of course, it was between them. Lin Wei and Zong Shao didn’t see it and didn’t know much about it.
However, judging from the chat just now, Lin Wei felt that Big Sister Li was not suitable. It is a good thing to be honest, but this one is a little too honest.
It would be fine if she was just a little nervous when she first met, but if she has been like this since she came to be a nanny, not only will she suffer, but Lin Wei will not feel better either.
But the selection of the nanny is best if they can be selected at one time, and they will be replaced every three or five times. They are unwilling to say it out loud, so it is impossible for them to give Sister Li time to grow up.
Therefore, Sister Li was directly out of the game.
The second interviewee was Sister Ding. She had a very enthusiastic personality, or was familiar with her. After entering the house to say hello, she started to work. Lin Wei finally persuaded people to come down.
Aware of Lin Wei’s discomfort, Sister Ding explained, “I just want to express myself.”
Being a generous person, Lin Wei smiled and said, “You don’t have to rush to do it, I just want to know your situation today.”
“Hey, you asked.” Sister Ding said immediately.
Lin Wei asked about her family situation in detail, which is similar to what Zong Shao said. Although there is no in-laws to help her at home, her eldest daughter can cook and can take care of her younger siblings, so she doesn’t need to worry about it at home. As for what Lin Wei said, Zong Shao needed her to live here when he went out to sea, and she also said it was no problem.
Because Sister Ding’s comprehensive conditions were good, Lin Wei and Zong Shao did not rush to make a decision after she left, but first met with Sister Zhang, who came to interview last.
It was really inappropriate to say that Big Sister Zhang was two years younger than Lin Wei, so she just called the person’s name, Zhang Lan.
Zhang Lan is indeed much cleaner than the first two. Her cleanliness is not only reflected in her hair and clothes, but also in her hands. Her nails are neatly trimmed, and there is no dirt at all.
She speaks in a very gentle manner. She doesn’t have the stage fright like Sister Li, and she doesn’t have the bluff of Sister Ding. In addition, there are no children to take care of, which makes her a lot less burdensome.
Lin Wei felt that she had a good personality, and she couldn’t stand up to someone as enthusiastic as Sister Ding, but she didn’t know how she worked or how she was cooking, so she asked.
“I basically cook our family’s meals.” Zhang Lan didn’t praise Haikou, but said, “When is dinner at your house? I can cook a few dishes for you to try.”
Lin Wei was not in a hurry to let her cook, and asked, “You cook in your family, so if you come to be a nanny, what will happen at home?”
Zhang Lan smiled when he heard the words: “Comrade Lin, you may not know that we rural people have no way to make money, we rely on farming for food and drink, and you hire nanny to pay high wages. As long as I come to your house as a nanny, don’t talk about cooking at home, My mother-in-law had to smile when she saw me.”
After hearing this, Lin Wei felt that she might not have a good relationship with her mother-in-law, but they were not familiar with each other for the first time. At the most critical time, my husband often has to go overseas because of his work, so he hired a nanny. During the work period, I hope that she can devote herself to her work and not delay her work because of family affairs. After all, I only work for a few months. I hope to change people in the middle, do you understand?”
Zhang Lan said: “Don’t worry, I will never delay work due to family matters during my work.”
In fact, she felt that as long as she explained her interests to her mother-in-law, even if she wanted to be lazy and not work, her mother-in-law would not agree. Of course, for the rare opportunity to make money, she herself is not willing to be lazy, so she guarantees that there is no pressure.
After chatting with Zhang Lan, Lin Wei went out to talk to Zong Shao and Lao Jiang about asking her to cook a meal. If her cooking skills were decent, she would stay.
The main reason for hiring a nanny is to take care of Lin Wei, and she will have the most contact with the nanny in the future, so Zong Shao naturally focuses on her opinions and has no opinions.
Their husband and wife had no objection, and Lao Jiang, the middleman, naturally had no objection, so he said, “Since you have decided, then I will go back. If there is any change in the future, you can just go to me directly.”
“You’ve been busy with our affairs for so long, so let you go back like this, aren’t we just crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?” Lin Wei smiled and gave Zong Shao a wink.
Zong Shao said, “Let’s stay for dinner.”
Zong Shao spoke, and Lao Jiang naturally agreed.
Zhang Lan cooked the dinner alone. Lin Wei had planned to help, but Zhang Lan said that her belly was big and she would not be allowed to work.
Zong Shao is a man, it’s nothing for Lin Wei to help with cooking, it is not appropriate for other women to help him when they cook, so he talks to Lao Jiang outside.
Zhang Lan worked very neatly. She cooked five dishes and one soup in more than half an hour. After the food was on the table, she would clean up the kitchen.
When she was done, Zhang Lan was about to leave, but she cooked a table of dishes, so Lin Wei had the nerve to let her leave just like that, and let someone stay for dinner.
Zhang Lan was a little hesitant, but when Lao Jiang persuaded her, she stayed.
Her cooking skills are really good. At this time, many people are reluctant to put oil and salt in cooking, but she is okay, and the fried dishes taste good.
In clear words, it is much better than my father. Of course, if I compare it with my mother, then my mother’s fried dishes are more delicious. After saying these words, Mingming also added a sentence: “Mom’s cooking is the best in the world!”
Although Lin Wei is very old-fashioned and self-aware, she is still held in awe by her son, and promises: “When mother gives birth to the baby, I will make you a big table of delicious food.”
Mingming immediately came to the spirit: “Can you all make what I like to eat?”
“Yes.” Lin Wei said generously, “whatever you want to eat, mother will do what you want.”
Mingming was suddenly dizzy with happiness.
Although Zong Shao is generous, but seeing his son’s unpromising appearance, he can’t help but despise him, thinking that he will please his mother, and he has cooked so many dishes that he likes to eat, but I can’t see how happy he is.
Lin Wei said that Zong Shao completely got the order wrong. He liked the dish because it was delicious, not because he liked it… As for his cooking skills, he still needs to practice!
Zong Shao: “…”
