When they got home, Wen Qiao took out two pieces of sponge cake, put them on a plate, and gave them to Su Mei.
"You and the child should eat something first to fill your stomachs. There's rice and flour at home; you can cook something to eat later."
Su Mei immediately said, "No need, we're not hungry. I'll start cleaning now. Just tell me what you need, I'm open to it."
It's clear that Su Mei is still quite reserved.
Wen Qiao said softly:
"Don't be so nervous. I'm all alone at home right now. My husband is on duty at the border. I don't have any requirements for the housekeeper. Just washing clothes, cooking, and cleaning are fine. I don't even have any requirements for cooking."
After Su Mei agreed to work as a nanny at the Shen family's house at the Wang family's house, Li Qin explained Wen Qiao's situation to Su Mei.
Wen Qiao is a pregnant woman who needs to be taken care of; she's not carrying one child, but three.
Su Mei was told to be extremely careful.
She also instructed Su Mei to keep a close eye on her child and make sure he didn't offend Wen Qiao.
Su Mei remembered it all.
After listening to Wen Qiao's words, Su Mei thought it over and over again, and took the initiative to tell Wen Qiao about her child's situation.
"I can do all the things at home, and I will do my best to do them well."
“My daughter wasn’t born autistic. That year, after my husband was arrested, I was at home taking care of my child when a group of people suddenly came and said that we were capitalists and that they were going to arrest us all for reform.”
“My daughter was there at the time and was so scared that she cried loudly. She was only four years old at the time. After that, she stopped talking and didn’t say anything. But she can understand what you ask her to do, but she just won’t do it on her own.”
“She’s very well-behaved. From now on, when I’m doing chores at home, I’ll keep her inside.”
Su Mei was afraid that Wen Qiao would look down on her daughter and cause her to lose her job.
Su Mei is indeed a college student, but that identity is of no use whatsoever in the face of being labeled a capitalist's daughter.
She had worked in the orchards of the military farm.
After learning that she was a capitalist's daughter, even the old ladies and gentlemen who guarded the orchards would spit on her when they saw her.
The children from the farm would throw stones at her daughter whenever they saw her.
There were also people who urinated on her daughter and threw feces on her.
Su Mei washed her daughter's excrement and urine.
After washing her daughter with a heavy heart, she covered her mouth and cried until dawn.
She dared not cry, dared not speak, and dared not resist during the day.
If she showed even the slightest emotion, it would be considered reactionary...
Wang Gang is kind-hearted and a high-ranking leader.
But Wang Gang couldn't follow her around and help her every day.
Su Mei felt that working as a nanny in the military family compound was much cleaner and easier than doing odd jobs on a farm or breeding farm.
More importantly, it's safe now.
Su Mei couldn't wait to get started.
Let Wen Qiao see that she is hardworking, capable, and willing to work.
Su Mei refused the sponge cake Wen Qiao offered, insisting on doing her work first.
Wen Qiao told her to take the child back to the room first. That room was where Sister Wu had stayed before, and it still had bedding and sheets.
"There's hot water at home, so wash the child's face and dry her hands, and give her some steamed egg custard."
"Sister Su, is it okay if I call you that?"
Su Mei quickly replied, "Yes, you can call me that."
Wen Qiao chuckled, "Don't use those formal terms, just call me Xiao Qiao."
"You tidy up the child first, and I'll go find her a couple of clean outfits. You're a bit taller than me, so you probably won't be able to wear my clothes. You can make her a new outfit later."
Su Mei gave a dry laugh, "It's okay, I can still wear these clothes. Besides, making these clothes isn't cheap."
Wen Qiao then remembered.
"I forgot to mention the salary. It'll be twenty-five a month. You can work for two months first, and if it's suitable, we can sign a contract for a long-term job. What do you say?"
Su Mei: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Wen Qiao thought that Su Mei wasn't used to calling her by her name for the time being, so she decided to let Su Mei call her that for now.
Fearing that Su Mei would feel uncomfortable in her presence, Wen Qiao went back to her room.
Su Mei returned to the house with her daughter Coco, and only then did she relax, her face beaming with barely suppressed excitement.
