"Then why do you need a nanny?"
"My sister just gave birth and needs to recuperate, so I'd like to hire a live-in nanny to help take care of the baby." Fu Yanlin then realized that the young woman in front of him had never given birth before and probably had no experience, so he tactfully asked, "Do you know how to take care of a child?"
Zhuang Ran felt that God had given him a chance, and quickly spoke up.
"Yes, of course I can! I raised two younger brothers!"
Fu Yanlin figured that rural areas generally have many children, so it was normal for them to know how to take care of children, and he didn't have any doubts.
"It's like this, my sister's health isn't very good, so you only need to take care of the younger one, so my sister can have some free time to rest."
"No problem, I'm sure I can do this job well, I just want to know how much the salary is."
"One month—"
Her heart was in her throat, and she lost all interest in the mutton stew in front of her.
"How about 15 yuan?"
Fu Yanlin thought the money was a bit too little, but then he saw the girl's eyes light up, which meant that the amount he gave was just right.
Zhuang Ran said excitedly, "I only have one condition: food and lodging must be provided. I have no money on me right now, only some simple luggage."
In an effort to retain the employee, Fu Yanlin began to outline the benefits.
"Of course, you should provide food and accommodation when taking care of a new mother. My sister's family is quite well-off; they can get rice, noodles, meat, and eggs."
"As long as I'm full, that's fine." Zhuang Ran treated him sincerely. She believed that people should be able to eat their fill as long as they are alive. It doesn't matter what they eat, as long as they are full.
Fu Yanlin: "That's absolutely no problem. Let's have some mutton soup now, and then I'll take you back to your ward."
Having received reassurance, Zhuang Ran finally picked up his chopsticks to eat. In such a good mood, everything tasted delicious.
In the end, she ate every last drop of soup.
Looking up, I saw the man chewing slowly, seemingly unable to finish what was in his bowl.
"Why can't you finish it?" She stared at the half-bowl of mutton stew, thinking to herself that this guy really has a small appetite.
"This soup has a slightly gamey taste, it's not really to my liking." Fu Yanlin raised his hand and called out, "Waiter, come and get the bill."
"If you're not going to eat it, then I'll eat it!" Zhuang Ran said.
Fu Yanlin stared at her in surprise and found that the little girl's face was not red, but her eyes were full of longing for the mutton stew. So he pushed the bowl over and watched as the little girl picked up her chopsticks and started eating. She ate with great relish!
The waitress came over and said, "That's 85 cents in total, plus half a jin of grain coupons!"
Fu Yanlin took out his wallet to pay the bill. After the waiter left, he looked across the street and saw that the girl had finished the remaining half bowl of mutton soup and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.
This was the first time he had ever seen such an unreserved girl. Her carefree manner was like that of a boy, and she was chubby and especially cute.
Zhuang Ran said, "This food cannot be wasted. Heaven has blessed them with food; if you waste it, you will go hungry!"
Fu Yanlin stood up. "Let's go! Now you can go back to your ward!"
Zhuang Ran followed them outside, looked up at the azure sky, and felt that his luck was pretty good today.
At the same time, she also knew in her heart that she was able to get this job because of her sister.
——
Lu Zhixia and Gu Lingxiao boarded the bus again, and coincidentally, it was the same driver again. Judging from his evasive eyes, he was probably still feeling guilty about what happened that morning.
Guo Chen looked up and saw Lu Zhixia getting into the car, and blurted out, "Lu Zhixia!"
Hearing someone call her name, Lu Zhixia looked behind her and saw Guo Chen. It's really not easy to run into someone you know in a big city.
"You're on a business trip!"
“Yes.” Guo Chen said, glancing at Gu Lingxiao, “Why are you with him?”
There happened to be two empty seats next to him, so Lu Zhixia went over and sat down.
Gu Lingxiao sat down between them, his expression serious.
Lu Zhixia could only sit in the seat next to it. Then the bus started moving, and she looked over there and said...
"We're out on business."
"Oh!" Guo Chen's heart was filled with shock. They had gotten to the point where they could go out alone together.
If I don't take action, will I miss my chance again?
"Where are you getting off?" Guo Chen asked.
Gu Lingxiao quickly added, "There are still three stops left. We'll stay at the guesthouse over there."
Guo Chen looked at him and saw a warning in his eyes, just as he had thought.
"Then I'll get off the bus and have a meal with you. I have something to tell Xiaxia."
"Tell me what's wrong!" Lu Zhixia felt something was off, and then she felt a chill in the air, so she quickly closed the window next to her.
