Sheng An Ning didn't dare to think too much about it. After all, her brother was seriously injured and unconscious in the dream, and she didn't know what the situation was now. Was it the same as in the dream?
If that's the case, there's a good chance that my brother died in an accident, right?
The more I think about it, the more scared I become. If my brother is also gone, and the original owner is left to harm my parents, how can my father and mother bear it?
Zhou Chaoyang saw Sheng An Ning's eyes gradually turned red, and stroked her back: "Sister-in-law, it must be fine. Is it because of pregnancy that you feel uncomfortable? No matter what, let's go to the city tomorrow to have a look."
After comforting Sheng An Ning for a while and letting her lie down to rest, she went to cook.
While he was cooking, Wang Wengang brought over a woman in her twenties. She was pale and thin, and her clothes were full of patches.
Zhou Chaoyang watched with some curiosity as Wang Wengang led the person into the yard, thinking that this should be the nanny found for Shanzi.
Wang Wengang also carried a bag of apples and said to Zhou Chaoyang very embarrassedly: "Where is my sister-in-law? I'm really sorry to bother you these days. I found someone to take care of Shanzi. This is Tian Xiu."
Tian Xiu pinched the corner of her clothes nervously and nodded to Zhou Chaoyang with a timid smile.
Zhou Chaoyang was even more curious: "Where did Brother Wang find this person?"
Wang Wengang thought it was quite a coincidence: "I have been looking for someone these past two days but couldn't find the right one. Today I went to the town to do some work and happened to see Tian Xiu begging on the street, so I asked her if she was willing to help look after the child and I would pay her."
Zhou Chaoyang didn't think much about it: "Oh, then you have to ask clearly where the child is from. You can't be careless when looking after the child."
Tian Xiu quickly waved her hands and explained: "I came here from Beiwa to escape famine. I'm not a bad person. I've been to a literacy class and I know how to read."
Zhou Chaoyang knew Beiwa, which was more than 200 kilometers away from here, deep in the mountains. People had to rely on the weather for their livelihood all year round. Last year, there was a drought and the harvest was very bad. I heard that many people ran away secretly.
So I still advised Wang Wengang to be cautious: "Brother Wang, you can look at it yourself. I think we should investigate it carefully."
After all, Tian Xiu is now a migrant worker and will be arrested if he is discovered.
Wang Wengang was already too anxious. Sheng An Ning was helping to take care of the child during the day these days, and Sheng An Ning was also pregnant. He was afraid that Shanzi would be too naughty and bump into Sheng An Ning, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
So when there was a suitable person, he didn't think too much about it. After questioning, he saw that although Tian Xiu was pale and thin, his eyes were very clear and he didn't look like a treacherous person, so he decided to bring him back for a trial.
Sheng Anning accidentally fell asleep in the room and had no idea that Wang Wengang had brought a nanny back and took Shanzi away. When she woke up, Zhou Chaoyang had already prepared dinner and was sitting at the small dining table with his face in his hands waiting for her.
When Zhou Chaoyang saw Sheng An Ning wake up, he quickly got up: "Are you feeling better now? Where else are you feeling uncomfortable? I've prepared dinner, you should wash your face and eat something."
As he spoke, he took a basin and fetched half a basin of water, and took care of Sheng An Ning washing her face and hands. By the way, he told her about Wang Wengang finding a nanny.
Sheng An Ning was surprised: "Just bring him back to look after the child? What if he is a bad guy?"
She remembered many news reports about many children going missing and child abuse, all done by nannies, who were introduced by famous housekeeping agencies.
Therefore, Sheng An Ning was very cautious about this and would never hand the child over to strangers.
Zhou Chaoyang shrugged: "I think Wang Wengang trusts Tian Xiu, and Tian Xiu seems to be quite honest."
Sheng An Ning never thought that Wang Wengang would be so careless in hiring a nanny. Or is it that people nowadays are simple and honest, and therefore trustworthy?
Out of curiosity, he went out for a walk and saw a strange woman squatting in front of the faucet washing clothes in the next yard. Shanzi stood obediently aside, turned his head to glance at Sheng An Ning, then turned his little face back and concentrated on watching Tian Xiu wash clothes.
Sheng An Ning took a few glances and saw that the woman looked honest. Since Wang Wengang trusted her, there was no need for her to make trouble and she turned around and went back to the house.
Zhou Chaoyang served Sheng Anning some rice: "Did you see that? Doesn't she look quite honest? If she really came here to escape famine, it won't be a big problem. Wang Wengang can just prepare a temporary residence permit for her."
Sheng An Ning didn't say much: "If I can take good care of the child, then Wang Wengang will have some free time."
Over the next two days, Sheng An Ning observed that Tian Xiu was indeed very attentive to Shanzi. He wore clean clothes and kept the yard very tidy.
Every morning when he wakes up, the clothesline is already full of clothes. He is a very hardworking person.
It seems that Wang Wengang has found the right person by accident. Shanzi is obviously very attached to Tian Xiu and follows her closely. He will smile when he sees Sheng Anning, but he will not go to find him because his father said he cannot disturb his aunt, so he dare not go over.
I'm craving for the delicious food at my aunt's house.
Sheng Anning was also happy to have some free time, as taking care of children was really tiring.
Xiao Yan has been asking for leave these two days, and no one knows where to find connections. Sheng An Ning is curious. Who will Xiao Yan ask for help at this time?
Xiao Yan has been at the educated youth site for the past two days, eating, living and working with everyone else. She also recalled the scene when they first came here and everyone huddled together for warmth.
I just want to get along well with everyone so that they won't do anything bad to her in the college entrance exam.
One of the young intellectuals asked Xiao Yan curiously, "They say the college entrance examination will be resumed. You have a lot of contacts in the hospital. Have you heard the news? Is it true?"
Xiao Yan waved her hands quickly: "No, how come I didn't know about the college entrance examination? Is it another rumor? I remember that rumor was spread two years ago. I don't believe it anyway. I just want to work hard in the health center first, so that I can go back to the city one day in the future and arrange a job. You should also be prepared for this. I think it is more reliable for us to go back to the city than to take the college entrance examination."
Some of the educated youth thought that this made sense, while others thought that Xiao Yan had ulterior motives. After all, when she first came here, she was able to establish good relationships with the branch secretary and the scorekeeper, doing the easiest work but getting about the same work points as everyone else.
Later, I don't know where I got the news from, but I found out that the health center was recruiting people, so I secretly learned how to give injections, and I was successfully admitted to the health center.
She has always kept all this a secret from everyone, so if the college entrance examination was really resumed, she would definitely not tell anyone.
Xiao Yan coaxed everyone with sweet words and took two bottles of Daqu liquor to the village party secretary's house.
The village party secretary and his family were preparing to have lunch. When they saw Xiao Yan coming over with something, they politely invited her to sit down.
Yuelian, the wife of the branch secretary, looked at Xiao Yan, who had fair skin and a slim figure after working in the health center, and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
The village party secretary waited for Xiao Yan to sit down, rolled a cigarette and looked at her: "Comrade Xiao, what's the matter with you?"
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "No, I just came back to see you. I was too busy with work to come back, but I always remember your help to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the secretary's stupid son ran out of the house and said, "The new daughter-in-law ran away, and the new daughter-in-law is back."
