Chapter 6 Monthly salary 40 yuan
When the four dishes and a soup were placed on the table, the old couple of the Yan family couldn't stop smiling. Grandpa Yan was particularly happy and ate half a plate of pan-fried cucumber with garlic sauce.
Grandma Yan prefers sweet and sour carp and Samgyetang.
Hang Jingshu left some food in the kitchen, which was prepared for her and nanny Xiaoyu.
Originally, nanny Xiaoyu had some opinions about Hang Jingshu and she didn't expect her cooking to be so delicious. But her expression immediately changed when she held the bowl of rice.
It’s the same carp, but how come this little girl can make the fish crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, sweet and sour, with just the right amount of sauce, and not a single fishy smell.
The side dishes of Mu Shu Pork are quite good, but the most delicious one is the stir-fried pork belly with chili peppers.
The pork belly is fried to a crispy aroma, and the fatty part has a texture of oily residue when chewed, while still retaining some fat inside. Paired with the chili peppers, it is spicy and refreshing without being greasy, and can be eaten with two bowls of rice.
Finally, a bowl of soup makes this meal delicious~
There was only one plate of cucumber pancake, and Grandpa Yan ate it all by himself. Seeing him eating it with garlic sauce so happily, Hang Jingshu was also happy.
The scene that the cook likes to see most is everyone eating without even raising their heads.
Actually, Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan have very different tastes. Fortunately, Hang Jingshu cooks home-cooked dishes, and Shandong cuisine is very comprehensive, so Grandma Yan also enjoys the food.
Xiaoyu was very active when eating, but after she finished eating, she could hardly laugh anymore.
This little girl's cooking skills are so good, I'm afraid Aunt Zhou won't be able to come back.
Hang Jingshu didn't care what she was thinking. Seeing that the two old people had put down their chopsticks at the table, Hang Jingshu straightened his clothes and went to the living room to prepare to clear the dishes.
"Good boy, wait a moment, I have something to ask you," said Grandma Yan, still with a kind look on her face and her tone becoming increasingly gentle.
First they asked some basic questions, such as how old you are, what your name is, and where you live.
When she heard that Hang Jingshu had graduated from high school and missed the college entrance exam by a few points, Grandma Yan's eyes became even gentler, and she looked at Hang Jingshu approvingly, "This name change is good, elegant and refined."
Hang Jingshu smiled and said, "My brother and sister discussed and renovated this together. They all say that Hangzhou has beautiful scenery. I plan to go and see it when I make some money."
Nanny Xiaoyu tactfully went to tidy up the room. Since the little girl was going to stay, it was better to establish good relations with her first.
The old couple looked at each other and were both satisfied. The next step was to negotiate the price.
Grandpa Yan got up first and leisurely went to the sofa to continue reading the newspaper. He also turned on the radio and began to hum along with the opera.
The warm sunlight came in through the glass, casting a golden glow on Grandma Yan's kind face. "Good boy, you have good craftsmanship and are a down-to-earth person. If you stay here, we will pay you 40 yuan a month. Is that okay?"
Hang Jingshu was extremely surprised. The salary of a regular worker these days was only around 50 yuan. He was only responsible for cooking, but he could get such a high salary?!
Hang Jingshu just felt that choosing to be a nanny was the right choice. No wonder Mo Xiaojuan and her family were able to move to the county town in her previous life.
It’s 40 yuan a month, and food and accommodation are provided, so you can earn 480 yuan a year!
Even though he was very happy in his heart, Hang Jingshu only had a faint smile on his face. He did not show any exaggerated expression. Instead, he asked other questions: "Do I have time to rest in a month?"
Grandma Yan didn't expect the little girl to be so thoughtful, and replied with a smile: "You have two days off a month, and there are red envelopes for the New Year. When we old folks get together, you still have to keep busy."
Although Hang Jingshu looks young, he is actually in his 40s or 50s mentally, so salary and benefits naturally come first.
This condition is already very high nowadays. Even if you are a professional nanny, you probably won’t be able to charge this price.
The main thing is that this is not a big place like Beijing or Shanghai, and this salary is already higher than that of more than half of the people in the county towns.
Hang Jingshu was quite satisfied, as it seemed that his level was recognized.
"Okay, then I'll go to work tomorrow?" Hang Jingshu asked tentatively.
Grandma Yan was willing to do it. "Okay, we can start from tomorrow's dinner. You can clean up the things during the day."
The time is just right. Today is Sunday, August 12th. Starting from tomorrow, I can get exactly half a month's salary.
When his brother reports for duty in September, Hang Jingshu will still be able to provide some money.
After living his life over again, Hang Jingshu not only felt that it was great to be alive, but also wanted to make up for his family members whose lives were changed because of his willfulness.
My eldest brother was admitted to a university in Beijing, which will be a top-notch institution even in a few decades. We cannot waste such a good opportunity.
You have to work harder too!
Hang Jingshu was smiling happily in the house and was happy even washing the dishes, but the others waiting outside were not in such a good mood.
Hang Jingmei and Wang Xiangchun were both worried, fearing that their sister would be bullied or wronged. The main reason was that the young wife who opened the door did not look easy to talk to.
Manager Zhang was more worried. He was afraid that the little black girl was too young and might not be successful in the job interview. But if she made a scene, his position would no longer be so secure.
Fortunately, Manager Zhang had connections with the military district's Propaganda Department, so the three of them had a tasteless lunch in the cafeteria and then went to the door early to wait for someone.
Hang Jingshu put the leftovers in the refrigerator, wiped the tableware and the countertops clean, and went to say goodbye to the old couple.
"Xiaohang, you must come tomorrow," Grandma Yan sent Hang Jingshu to the door and said worriedly, "I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow, just wait at the bus stop."
Nanny Xiaoyu was secretly shocked, as she herself did not receive such treatment in the past.
Aunt Zhou did come, but unfortunately she was sent away.
The soldier driving the car stood there coldly and straight, causing Aunt Zhou to instantly give up her desire to make a fuss.
These two old men looked kind, but they were merciless when they chased people away.
Nanny Xiaoyu shrank her neck. This was a case of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys first and then receiving special care. She should just do her job honestly.
When Hang Jingshu went out, he saw three faces that looked concerned and nervous.
Manager Zhang looked anxiously: Is it done? Is it done?
My sister and brother-in-law: Since she didn’t cry, she probably wasn’t bullied.
Seeing the smile in the girl's eyes, Hang Jingmei knew that this was a possibility!
"Sister, I will come over to work tomorrow, and Grandma Yan said she would send a car to pick me up," Hang Jingshu said the good news with a smile.
Before Hang Jingmei could react, Manager Zhang jumped up first, "Oh, this little girl is really amazing!"
Several people left the compound. Hang Chenggang was waiting at the entrance of the alley near his eldest sister's house. When he saw his younger sister come back, he talked to her and her husband, then took Hang Jingshu home by bus.
When he got home, Hang Jingshu rushed over to share the good news with Wang Silan, "Mom! I succeeded. I can make a lot of money in a month!"
