After being pushed into the water, rumors spread like wildfire. Her cousin, arguing and making a scene, refused to marry the husband from her past life, only because he saved Shen Jintao when she f...
Chapter 250: Is this how the state allocates wives?
"After I sign the contract with Mr. Lowe, I will go to the hotel to guard for two days. Then I will give our Xiaoxi two days off. The child has been really exhausted during this period."
Huo Beichuan nodded and said, "It's time to let her go out and have some fun."
As a young person, who doesn't like to go out and have fun? Although Huo Nanxi is very adaptable to the pace of work, Shen Jintao, as a boss, cannot exploit the labor force too much.
However, by the end of the year, after seeing the profits, Huo Nanxi may be more motivated.
A family of four came to the newly developed park. Actually, it is not newly developed. It was a park before, but it was not renovated at that time and looked a bit dilapidated.
Starting this year, the country has begun to pay great attention to this issue, because more and more foreigners are coming to China to do business, and of course they have to make it look good, after all, it is a facade.
Many of the fitness equipment are not played much by the elderly, but the children play with them very enthusiastically. There are also slides in the park, which is the favorite entertainment activity for children of Dabao's age.
When Dabao and Erbao saw the slide, they couldn't walk anymore, so Chen Jintao and Huo Beichuan found a bench to sit down and talk.
However, Liu Guifen was worried about the two children and had to keep an eye on them, even though Chen Jintao had said that there was no need to keep an eye on them, as long as she made sure they were still within her sight.
But Liu Guifen was always worried. After all, she had seen many cases of human traffickers kidnapping children in the newspapers in the past two years, and Liu Guifen had always been very careful when taking care of children.
Shen Jintao was happy to see this happen. She thought of the news she had read in later generations, where children had to live with their grandparents because their parents had to go out to work, and they fell into the water due to their grandparents' negligence and were abducted by human traffickers. Even more outrageous was that when the child was taking a bath, the guardian received a call that there was a shortage of one person, and the guardian was busy playing mahjong and finally forgot about the child on the stove, so that when other people in the family found the child, the child had already been cooked.
When Shen Jintao saw the news, she felt very distressed, but fortunately her mother-in-law was a very responsible grandmother.
"Honey, should we hire a nanny?"
"If both of us are very busy, it will be really tiring for mom to take care of the kids alone. Otherwise, we can hire an auntie who can help mom on weekdays."
Hearing his wife's suggestion, Huo Beichuan thought about it and said, "I think it's possible. We can also find people from the families of some wounded soldiers. Many wounded soldiers are unable to be professional. Not everyone is as lucky as Director Wang. It's really not easy to live with a meager pension."
"Well, your idea is still very good. This way, our mother can relax a little and it can also reduce the burden on your injured comrades. Then you can see if there is a suitable candidate. If there is, you can directly call the person over. We can try it out and keep him if he is suitable."
Although she knew that Huo Beichuan wanted to help his comrades, Chen Jintao would not say too much. After all, he was there to take care of the children. If the person's character was not up to standard, Chen Jintao would never keep him.
The two of them decided to hire a nanny in just a few words, and Chen Jintao said that she could pay her 150 yuan a month, which was definitely a very high salary in that era, equivalent to the treatment of a gold medal confinement nanny in later generations.
Salary is not a problem. The main thing is that the person has to be hardworking and not have any bad intentions.
Huo Beichuan said that he would select them carefully, after all, they would come to take care of his son and daughter, and he was very concerned about it.
While they were playing in the park, someone came over carrying a large bunch of candied haws. The two children were attracted by the red candied haws and immediately ran towards their parents.
"Do you want to eat this?" Chen Jintao looked at the two children with a smile.
Erbao nodded. I seldom gave them candy because I was worried about their tooth decay. Now that he saw the candied haws that looked so good, he must have been thinking about them, right?
"Okay! Then I'll buy one string for each of you!" Chen Jintao was rarely "generous" to the children. It was very difficult for them to eat candy on normal days.
The old man selling candied haws was also happy. He quickly took out two strings of candied haws and gave them to Dabao and Erbao, and praised the two children with a smile.
"One dollar a string!"
Chen Jintao paid the money promptly. The price was a little high, but the children were really happy and it was rare for her to accompany them out to play, so Chen Jintao thought it was no problem.
After playing outside for a day, I took the children to a newly opened restaurant in the evening.
It’s not that Chen Jintao came to see other people’s dishes on purpose, it’s mainly because the children are tired of her own food, so it’s nice to change the taste.
but……
After being used to eating delicious food, I felt a little uncomfortable eating in this ordinary restaurant. Only the two children thought everything was delicious, and they were really tired after playing all day, so they ate a lot.
Chen Jintao and the others didn't eat much.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the family found Xiao Wu and asked him to take them back to the family compound.
"Dabao and Erbao, did you have fun today?"
On the way back, Shen Jintao asked the two children.
The two children answered almost in unison, "Happy!"
Chen Jintao patted the children's heads and said, "Mom will try her best to spend time with you in the future."
"Uh-huh!"
Xiao Wu looked at this warm family and couldn't help but sigh, "I really envy Captain Huo. I'm still alone now!"
"What? You want to get married? How about I apply to organize a social gathering so that all of you unmarried young people can hang out together? Who knows, maybe you can find a wife!"
After Huo Beichuan finished speaking, Shen Jintao laughed.
"Is this the state's allocation of wives?"
"I didn't say that there will be a guaranteed job. It all depends on your own ability. Young people who want to get married have to take the initiative. He follows me around every day but doesn't have the chance to meet a few female comrades. I'm thinking that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. By then, we can organize some opportunities for these young people!"
Listening to her man repeatedly calling someone "young", Shen Jintao was speechless. "You are becoming more and more pretentious now. You are still giving young people opportunities, as if you are so old!"
Huo Beichuan smiled and didn't refute at all.
But he is already thirty years old, which is indeed not small compared to these recruits.
At night, Chen Jintao started to act stupid, saying that the old man might not be able to do that anymore after he got older, and then... nothing happened...
That night, Shen Jintao was tortured to the point of begging for mercy. Only then did she realize what it meant to be like a wolf at thirty and a tiger at forty. She didn't know if this man would really not be able to bear it when he was forty.
