Chapter 159: Little Thoughts
“Is she an unemployed military wife or a local?”
"She's a local. I asked Uncle Wang to introduce her to me." After considering it, Lu Yuxiu gave up on the military wife's idea.
Lin Xia only found out after listening to Lu Yuxiu that one of the two men was older than her and his family was so poor that they could not even afford food, but they had no shortage of labor, and the other had been married for more than a year but had no children.
Lu Yuxiu wanted to take care of Lin Xia at home, so he let her decide which one to choose.
Lin Xia felt relieved when she heard that the person was a local. She didn't get along well with the sisters-in-law in the family quarters, and asking someone to help was essentially just a nanny. She was afraid that someone would hear about it and cause trouble, but she just wanted to live a peaceful life.
Lu Yuxiu made dinner, with Lin Xia giving instructions. It didn’t look that good, but it still tasted good.
"Well, if you want Lao Song to bring something, I'll talk to him tomorrow." While eating, Lu Yuxiu remembered that Lin Xia didn't seem to buy anything yesterday.
Lin Xia looked at Lu Yuxiu who was concentrating on eating, and felt warm in her heart. The feeling of being cared for at this moment was much better than sweet words.
A man may not say romantic words, but he will always remember in his heart things that even Lin Xia has forgotten.
After finishing the meal with a warm heart, Lu Yuxiu went to wash the dishes, while Lin Xia strolled in the yard with a bulging belly to digest the food. No one would come here at this time, so she could go out for some fresh air.
The next day, Lin Xia was cutting cloth to make small clothes at home in the morning. The clothes for one child were almost finished, but not enough for two children.
While I was busy, there was a knock on the door. Two young women were standing outside the door, one was darker and looked to be in her thirties, and the other was younger.
Lin Xia stood up, opened the door and invited them in, and poured them mango water. "You were introduced by Uncle Wang, right?"
The two of them nervously reached out to take it. Lin Xia took the opportunity to check if her hands were clean. It was okay, the gaps between her fingers were clean, so she passed this test.
If you ask someone for help, cooking and other things will inevitably be required, and hygienic habits are still very important. Maybe because Lu Yuxiu has mentioned the requirements, they are considered to be okay.
When Lin Xia asked, she found out that both of them were older than herself. Everyone in the same village had the surname Wang. Lin Xia called them Sister Wang and Sister Wang. The three of them sat down, and Lin Xia learned about their family situations in a casual tone.
Although Da Wang's sister-in-law looks old, she is actually not 30 years old. At the age of 28, she had already given birth to a son and two daughters. The mother-in-law is the head of the family. When she saw someone wanted to find a nanny to do the job, she directly asked the second daughter-in-law, Da Wang's sister-in-law, to come out and do the work.
My sister-in-law and my brother's wife wanted to, but my mother-in-law knew that she was the most diligent and honest among the daughters-in-law in the family. Who wouldn't want to hire someone who is honest and capable of working? Finally, the eldest sister-in-law came.
Xiao Wang's wife did not separate from the family either, but she is two years older than Lin Xia and has been married for more than a year. Her mother-in-law has been nagging her about this matter a lot. When she heard that she could go out to work, she was tempted. She could earn money without having to stay at home and be scolded. What a good thing.
After hearing about the family situation, Lin Xia preferred Da Wang's wife, but it still depended on how she cooked. After chatting for a while and it was getting late, Lin Xia asked the two to cook a dish each.
"I'm pregnant and my appetite is not very good. I'm a bit picky about food. I want to see how you cook. There is firewood and vegetables in the kitchen. You can go and take a look."
Hearing that they were cooking, Little Sister Wang was not so nervous anymore. The two of them got up and went to the kitchen. Lin Xia saw two glasses of water. Big Sister Wang's glass was left untouched, but she had drunk half of the other glass.
The two of them entered the kitchen, and Sister-in-law Xiao Wang asked Sister-in-law Da Wang to do it first, and she would do it later.
Seeing that she agreed, Xiao Wang's wife was very proud. She felt that the dish that was made first would not be as delicious or as good-looking after a while, and it would definitely affect Lin Xia's evaluation.
Da Wang's wife didn't think much about it. She was looking at what dishes were available. After thinking for a while, she asked, "What dish are you going to make? Let's not make it heavy."
Sister Wang pointed at the eggplant and said, "Why don't you do this? We won't have to repeat ourselves."
If you want to stir-fry eggplants to make them delicious, you have to add more oil. If you boil them in water, they will be soft and not tasty at all. Da Wang's wife looked at the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the kitchen. Everything was very complete, but they were used very cleanly and there was not much oil.
Remembering that Lin Xia said she had a poor appetite, she put down the eggplant. When she was pregnant, she wanted to eat oily food, but as soon as she saw the layout of the house, she knew that the living conditions must be good.
With an idea in mind, she picked up the green vegetables beside her and left the eggplant untouched. Seeing that she didn't choose the eggplant, Xiao Wang's wife was a little disappointed, but soon she went to pick the dishes she cooked.
Two people were busy in the kitchen. Lin Xia thought that there was nothing valuable in the kitchen, so she let them work without any worries, as long as they didn't burn down the kitchen.
The little girl was not idle. She just heard two people cooking in her own kitchen. She knew her mother needed to rest, so she turned into a little guard and stood at the door to watch the two people busy in the kitchen.
After Xiao Wang's wife finished cooking the fish, she turned around and saw a child standing at the kitchen door. She smiled and asked, "Kid, do you like fish?"
An An listened to her asking herself, blinked without saying anything, turned around and ran away to play with her toys.
Sister-in-law Xiao Wang didn't care either. Children know what they like. As long as Lin Xia is satisfied, it's fine. She chose to cook fish because she looked at the vegetables cooked by Sister-in-law Da Wang, which means there is no meat. Otherwise, if she compared it with the vegetables, she would know which one tastes better.
Seeing that there was no one around, the little girl leaned over to Lin Xia's ear to tell her that she didn't like Sister Wang because she cooked the fish left for her father, so her father had no fish to eat in the evening.
Lin Xia felt amused after listening to the little one's complaint. There were only she and the little one eating at home, and the weather was hot and there was no refrigerator to store the food, so she usually saved the main dishes for cooking in the evening.
The little guy didn't know how he came up with the rule, but he didn't like Sister Wang who moved the fish. Although she told the two of them to do whatever they wanted, she was not sure about their choice.
Now looking at the choices they made, I have some understanding of their personalities.
When the meal was ready, Lin Xia got up and went to the dining table. There was a plate of green vegetables with garlic cloves, and another plate of fish.
Little Sister Wang was waiting for Lin Xia's evaluation at the table, while Big Sister Wang went into the kitchen and brought out two bowls of rice.
Lin Xia was just about to ask what the staple food was, but she felt relieved to see that there was rice. She didn't want to see a table full of dishes telling her that there was no staple food and she could only eat vegetables.
Lin Xia picked up a piece of green vegetable with chopsticks and tried it. It was fried crispy and the salt was just right. She then tried the braised fish and found it a little dark in color. It might be because too much soy sauce was added and the taste was strong. Lin Xia tried it again and found it still had a fishy smell. It might be because ginger was not used to remove the fishy smell.
The two were a little nervous when they saw Lin Xia trying the dishes. Lin Xia's expression did not change at all, but she had already made her own decision in her heart.
Fearing that announcing the results directly would make the situation awkward, Lin Xia thought about letting Lu Yuxiu tell Uncle Wang when the time comes. She smiled and said to the two of them, "Thank you for your help. I'll let Uncle Wang tell you the results when the time comes."
