These days, Qian Muchue and Grandma Qian are busy with their own things. Grandma Qian is tidying up the yard, and Qian Muchue is tidying up the study.
With the owner's consent, some of the original things in the study that were no longer needed have been disposed of. The study is not small, and Qian Muchue wants to turn it into her own workshop. She loved doing some handicrafts in her previous life, and she wanted to make two small clothes for Qian Xiaoya before. Unfortunately, Grandma Qian's house didn't have a sewing machine, and using a needle limited her ability.
Now that I have my own independent space, I immediately placed an order online for a sewing machine and other supporting tools. Dingfeng Literature was very responsive and the bonus has arrived in the past two days. Qian Muchue is not so short of funds, so I can still buy a few things I like.
A University will start school in a few days. In addition to the uncertain income from royalties, Qian Muchue needs other sources of income. She doesn't plan to do the original owner's previous part-time job anymore. Now the funds are not so urgent. Qian Muchue wants to do something she is good at, such as handicrafts. The initial plan is to open an online store and go the high-end private customization route.
In the early stage, the products were mainly baby clothes, and we happened to make clothes for Qian Xiaoya as well, so we even saved the cost of child models.
In addition to being busy with the workshop renovation, Qian Muchue is also looking at various housekeeping companies. Once she starts school, she is still not at ease leaving Grandma Qian to take care of Qian Xiaoya alone. Qian Muchue wants to hire a daytime housekeeping aunt, who will mainly cook and help take care of the child from Monday to Friday.
I looked at several domestic helpers but none of them were suitable. The main reason was that the salary that Qian Muchue could offer was not high at the moment. Most domestic helpers were live-in helpers with high salaries, free food and accommodation. Although it was a bit tiring, there were no expenses and I could save money.
On this day, Qian Muchue received a strange phone call. It turned out to be an application for a housekeeping aunt. Qian Muchue was quite surprised. Usually, the calls were from housekeeping companies, but this one was an individual applying for the position. However, she had not found a suitable aunt, so Qian Muchue still made an appointment to meet.
"Hello, are you Miss Qian?"
Qian Muchue arrived at the agreed place and was about to make a phone call when a girl in plain clothes came over, speaking Mandarin with a hint of an accent from somewhere unknown.
"Do you know me?"
"I heard from Aunt Fang that you are very beautiful. My name is Chen Yu, and I would like to apply for the position of housekeeping aunt in your house." Chen Yu was a little nervous. She felt that the beautiful sister in front of her seemed to be glowing. She recognized at a glance that this was the Miss Qian that Aunt Fang mentioned.
"Aunt Fang?"
"Chen Guifang, you've met me before. We're from the same village."
Qian Muchue remembered that she had indeed met her in a housekeeping company, but they couldn't reach an agreement because of the price difference. However, she took the initiative to leave her phone number. Qian Muchue thought that she wanted to go back and think about it and contact her again if it was suitable. She didn't expect this to be the case.
Qian Muchue and Chen Yu found a place to sit down and talk in detail.
"I see you're not very old. Have you ever worked as a housekeeper before?"
"No, but I have no problem cooking, washing clothes and cleaning."
"Why don't you find a housekeeping company? They provide training and it's easier to find a job."
"My ID card shows I'm still a few months shy of adulthood, so the housekeeping company won't accept it."
"You're so young, you probably haven't even graduated from high school yet, right?"
Qian Muchue didn't expect Chen Yu to be so young. Judging from the way the little girl spoke and acted, she was quite decisive.
"No, my family is poor, so I come out to earn money. My younger brother has good grades, so I let him study."
Since it involved other people's private affairs, Qian Muchue didn't want to ask too much.
"Are you clear about my work situation and treatment here?"
"Auntie Fang told me that from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday, I can make lunch, clean the house, and take care of the baby. I can do all of that."
"The probation period is one week. If you are not suitable, your salary for the trial days will be paid normally."
"Thank you, Miss Qian. I will try my best."
When Chen Yu heard this, she knew Qian Muchue had hired her, and she excitedly thanked Qian Muchue.
"Just call me Sister Qian."
"Okay, Sister Qian."
Chen Yu's young age and lack of experience are her disadvantages, but also her advantages. Many domestic helpers have worked for many years and become experienced. They will compare their current employer with their previous employer to see which one pays more and which one has less work. If the current employer's conditions are not as good as before, it is easy for them to become dissatisfied and slack off at work. Newcomers like Chen Yu will have awe of the job, which is one of the reasons why Qian Muchue was willing to hire her.
In addition, during this brief conversation, Qian Muchue felt that the little girl had a good character. When she talked about how her family was poor and had to make money to send her younger brother to school, she showed no dissatisfaction or resentment at all. She was always sunny and actively striving for this job, so Qian Muchue also wanted to help her.
I made an appointment with Chen Yu to start work tomorrow. Qian Muchue will check it out in the next few days before school starts.
After Qian Muchue returned home, she told Grandma Qian about Chen Yu's matter. Grandma Qian was helpless about Qian Muchue's behavior of acting first and asking for permission later. However, from this period of time, Grandma Qian also realized that her granddaughter had grown up and was an adult. She did many things very well. As an old lady, she could not help her granddaughter with many things. She just wanted to take good care of Yaya and let her granddaughter do her own things peacefully.
