After lunch, Wen Qiao carried the pastries that Shen Jichuan had brought and rode her bicycle to her parents' home.
I just got home and didn't see anyone.
Wen Qiao had a key to the house, so she took it out and opened the door. Just then, her neighbor, Grandma, was sitting on the doorstep playing.
He greeted Wen Qiao when he saw her.
"Xiao Qiao, you're back. Your mom's not home."
Hello, Grandma Wang.
Lu Yazhi has lived here for some time now. She is a very down-to-earth person and gets along well with the people around her.
Grandma Wang's family has several naughty children, and the neighbors all think that her family has too many children and is very noisy.
Because Lü Yazhi lives alone, she doesn't find the noise of children annoying. On the contrary, she often cooks food and delivers some to Grandma Wang next door.
Grandma Wang and Lü Yazhi had a relatively good relationship.
Wen Qiao parked the car in the yard, then came out and gave two big, golden pears to Grandma Wang.
"Don't be shy, please eat."
"Grandma Wang, where does my mother work? I've been very busy lately and haven't been home."
Wen Qiao didn't come back, but Shen Jichuan had Li Qiang frequently send things to Lü Yazhi.
Grandma Wang took two pears and handed Wen Qiao a small stool, asking her to sit down.
Then he said, "I only heard from your mother that she works as a nanny for a family. By the way, it was Aunt Li from the front street who introduced her. The salary and benefits are pretty good, so don't worry."
“Your mom cooks and does laundry for others, and comes back home as soon as she’s done. She doesn’t live at home. You tell me, she doesn’t earn much money, so why does she do this job? That’s what I say about her too.”
"Your mother said that people should keep working as long as they live, and not be idle."
"She is such a hardworking and kind woman, a really good person."
Grandma Wang chatted with Wen Qiao with a smile.
Wen Qiao said a few words to Grandma Wang and was just about to get up when she heard someone shouting from afar.
Looking up, she saw her mother, Lü Yazhi, carrying a small bag, walking towards her from a distance.
"Xiao Qiao, what brings you here? I told you my eyelids had been twitching all afternoon, and I thought it meant something good was going to happen."
"Mom, why didn't you tell me you were looking for a job? I gave you our home phone number, so you could have called me even if you weren't looking for me."
Lü Yazhi said with a smile, "I know you're taking the accounting certificate exam. I asked around, and people said it's not easy to pass. I can't hold my daughter back."
Wen Qiao smiled and said, "Mom, I passed the accounting certificate exam. Now that I have the certificate, I'm going to look for a job."
"I happen to have some time now, so I came back to see you."
Lu Yazhi took her daughter home. Grandma Wang looked at the mother and daughter, smiled and waved to them, telling them to hurry home and talk.
Then Grandma Wang took the two pears and went home.
Wen Qiao asked Lü Yazhi where she worked as a nanny.
Lü Yazhi couldn't say whose family it was either.
"It's a wealthy family, quite rich. The family members are all very nice, and they treated me very well too. Their housekeeper suddenly had to go back to her hometown, so I went to help out. Unexpectedly, they said that I cooked quite well, so they let me work there for a long time, and the salary was quite good, eighteen yuan a month."
"I don't have to pay for the groceries. I just need to cook, do the laundry, and clean. They also let me eat at home."
"It's better than being idle."
Wen Qiao could tell that her mother really liked this job.
Wen Qiao originally wanted to say that she wouldn't need to go to work, as she would support her mother.
"Okay, I see you like it quite a bit. But if you don't like it anymore, you're not allowed to do it anymore."
Lü Yazhi chuckled and said, "I'll listen to you."
“Xiao Qiao, don’t think that being a nanny is undignified. As long as you can earn money and are not idle, any job is good. There will always be someone to do this job.”
Wen Qiao immediately said, "Mom, I don't think being a nanny makes me inferior."
“I’m just afraid that you will be bullied. You always think too much about others and never care about your own feelings. I’m afraid you will feel wronged.”
Upon hearing her daughter say this, Lü Yazhi immediately lost control of her emotions.
Over the years, the only person who has cared about her emotions and feelings is her daughter.
“Mom is not wronged. Mom also needs to earn money. I didn’t have the ability to take good care of you before, but now that I have the opportunity to earn money, I’m thinking of saving more money for you.”
Mr. Shen is a good man, but the Shen family doesn't think much of Wen Qiao, and Lü Yazhi knows this.
She thought that if her daughter were ever bullied by the Shen family in the future, she would need to save some money so that if her daughter didn't want to stay with the Shen family anymore, she could leave unscathed.
She has enough money to raise her daughter.
