Chapter 330 Lan Xinci changes her mind
The nanny is coming home soon, and Lan Xinci cleans up a room.
Liang Qiaoli and her group came back on Sunday.
Lan Xinci went to the train station to pick them up.
Seeing Liang Qiaoli from a distance, Lan Xinci waved.
When she saw Xiaolian beside Liang Qiaoli, Lan Xinci suddenly stopped waving.
Liang Qiaoli also saw Lan Xinci and waved to her, but saw Lan Xinci turned around and left.
Liang Qiaoli wondered, "What happened to Xinci? She didn't wave to me just now, why did she leave?"
Lu Yongfu said, "Maybe she came to pick up someone else."
"But she was clearly waving to me."
Lu Yongfu said Liang Qiaoli must have seen it wrong.
"Even if I saw it wrong, she came to pick someone up, but I didn't see her leave after picking someone up."
Lu Mingqi said, "Maybe there was an emergency at home and she needed to go back to deal with it."
...
All the way, Liang Qiaoli was wondering why Lan Xinci left suddenly.
When she got home, before Liang Qiaoli took Xiaolian to Cui's house, Lan Xinci came to the door.
She called Liang Qiaoli outside and took out 50 yuan to give Liang Qiaoli.
"Auntie Lu, I'm so sorry. I thought about it and realized that there are not too many things to do at home. We don't need to hire a nanny. This money is compensation for her. Auntie, please let the girl go back."
Liang Qiaoli thought to herself: Why didn't you say it earlier? You said this after you brought everyone here. Xiaolian came happily. I can't explain to her family if you ask her to go back before I can even sit down.
But Lan Xinci doesn't need a nanny, and she can't force someone to go to her house.
Besides, Lan Xinci also gave a lot of compensation.
Liang Qiaoli accepted the money, because Lan Xinci broke the contract first, so it was reasonable for her to take some compensation.
Xiaolian saw Liang Qiaoli being called out, and thought she would go to her employer's house immediately.
Unexpectedly, what was waiting for her was that the employer didn't want her anymore.
Xiaolian lowered her head sadly.
Liang Qiaoli handed her 50 yuan: "She is a nice person. She knows that it's embarrassing to make you run for nothing. This is compensation for you. With this money, your trip to Beijing is not in vain."
Xiaolian took the money and packed it up without saying anything.
Liang Qiaoli and others had been away for a week, and Shen Jiale had not taken care of cleaning the house. Dust had fallen on the furniture in the house.
Xiaolian went out to scoop up a basin of water, took a rag and started to wipe the table.
...
When Shen Jiale came back and saw that the house was brand new, he said, "Mom, you just came back and started cleaning without taking a break."
Liang Qiaoli said, "It wasn't me who cleaned, it was Xiaolian."
Seeing Xiaolian at home, Shen Jiale didn't know that Lan Xinci didn't need her anymore.
She said, "Xiao Lian is here. Your mother praised you for your diligence. It's true. You must be tired on the way. Take a rest first and go to Cui's house to work tomorrow."
Liang Qiaoli said, "Xin Ci changed her mind at the last minute and said she didn't need a nanny."
"Why did she change her mind? Did she find someone else?"
Liang Qiaoli muttered, "Who knows? If I go back immediately after I'm here, how will Xiao Lian's mother look at me?"
Shen Jiale asked Xiao Lian, "What are your plans?"
Xiao Lian said, "I finally came to Beijing, but her family doesn't want me. I want to look for another one to see if other families want a nanny. If I run out of money and still can't find a job, I'll go back to my hometown."
Shen Jiale said yes and let her stay here temporarily.
It was too easy for Shen Jiale to find a job for Xiao Lian.
She could arrange for Xiao Lian to work in any store or restaurant under her name.
However, after not going back for several years, Shen Jiale still didn't know Xiaolian's character, so he decided to observe for a few days before making a decision.
...
In the next few days, Xiaolian went out to look for a job during the day, and came back at night to help Liang Qiaoli cook and clean.
Three days later, Xiaolian said she found a job in a restaurant, with food and accommodation provided, and 15 yuan a month.
Liang Qiaoli said: "15 yuan is too little, let's change to another one."
Xiaolian didn't think it was too little: "Third grandma, the boss said that if you do a good job in the future, the salary will be increased again."
Through these few days of observation, Shen Jiale felt that Xiaolian was indeed hardworking and capable, didn't talk much, and was not very curious about the expensive things at home.
Shen Jiale said, "My restaurant is in need of a waiter. The salary is 35 yuan a month, including food and lodging."
Xiaolian looked at Shen Jiale in disbelief: "Teacher Shen, are you asking me to work in your restaurant?"
"Don't you want to go?"
Xiaolian was so happy that she didn't know where to put her hands when she heard that Shen Jiale arranged for her to work in the restaurant, and the salary was higher than that of being a nanny.
"Of course I thought, I couldn't believe that such a good thing would fall on me!"
That day, Shen Jiale took Xiaolian to the restaurant first to familiarize herself with the working environment, and she officially started work the next day.
...
That night, Xiaolian gave 50 yuan to Liang Qiaoli for safekeeping, saying that she was worried that she had too much money on her and accidentally lost it.
Liang Qiaoli said, "Why don't you send it back home?"
Xiaolian shook her head, "My mother told me to save the money and use it as a dowry in the future."
"Your mother is very good to you."
Xiaolian said with a smile, "My mother is illiterate. She was afraid that if I sent the money back, my father would go to withdraw the money and gamble with it. She also told me to cry about my poverty. Even if I made money, I couldn't tell my father."
Liang Qiaoli also laughed, "Your father was so strictly controlled by your mother, how dare he go to gamble?"
"Dad also went out secretly."
"You can let your mother go with you to withdraw the money."
"Mom said that we are not short of money at home. Third grandmother's family is rich and will never be greedy for my small amount of money. It is safest to keep it with you."
Since Xiaolian and her family trusted her so much, Liang Qiaoli agreed to help keep the money temporarily and come to withdraw it whenever she needed it.
… At
the beginning of the month, the restaurant paid wages, and Xiaolian also received half a month's wages.
Xiaolian had no need for money because the restaurant provided food and accommodation, so she gave the money to Liang Qiaoli.
Lan Xinci went out to buy groceries and came back. When she saw Xiaolian, her face suddenly changed, and she hurried home and closed the gate.
Cui Yihan wanted to find Lu Changjun and Lu Changjie to walk the dog, but was stopped by Lan Xinci.
"Mom, we have an appointment."
Cui Jianan didn't understand his wife's behavior and asked her why she didn't let their daughter go out.
Lan Xinci said, "Last time, the nanny that Aunt Lu found for us came, and I was embarrassed to see her."
Cui Jianan said, "Didn't you give her 50 yuan as compensation? There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Just go out and see her openly."
Lan Xinci insisted that her daughter wait a while before going out.
An hour later, Lan Xinci couldn't stand her daughter's persuasion anymore, so she went out to observe for a while before letting Cui Yihan go out.
...
Lan Xinci knocked on the door of Lu's house.
Liang Qiaoli opened the door and saw that Lan Xinci looked very unhappy. She thought she was too tired and said, "You have to go to work and do housework. If you are too tired, you can find a nanny."
"It's okay. The work is not tiring, but it takes a lot of time. I haven't worked for many years. I'm not used to this rhythm. I will adapt slowly."
Liang Qiaoli poured a glass of water for Lan Xinci.
Lan Xinci asked, "Why hasn't that girl gone home yet?"
Liang Qiaoli said, "She's not going back. Xiaolian works in Jiale's restaurant."
Lan Xinci's hand holding the cup shook.
Water spilled on her hand.
Liang Qiaoli quickly took a towel to wipe her hands: "Did you get burned?"
Lan Xinci wiped her hands and said: "It's okay, it's not burned, I just slipped and didn't hold the cup properly."
