Chapter 580: Thoughtful (Page 1/2)
So he didn't want to introduce anyone to Tang Xue at all. Tang Xue was the granddaughter of his mother-in-law's cousin, and their relationship was not that close. There was really no need for him to meddle in other people's business.
Song Jingjing looked at Huo Qingyan, who looked determined, and felt extremely anxious. She was puzzled to see that Huo Qingyan would rather pay Tang Xue an extra five yuan than help her find a date.
"Qingyan, Tang Xue has already said that she will not be back after the New Year! What should we do now?" Song Jingjing frowned and said worriedly.
Huo Qingyan seemed quite calm. He replied calmly, "If she doesn't come, then forget it. We can just find another nanny.
After the New Year, send Zizi to the nursery and let the new nanny take care of you and Feifei first.
After the two children in your belly are born, you can send Feifei to the nursery in September. In this way, you and the nanny should be able to take care of the two children at home.
And Chenchen has grown up a lot, and can help take care of his younger siblings when he comes home from school. The children in my eldest brother's family have long learned to do housework and can even wash their own clothes now.
Hearing this, Song Jingjing suddenly became unhappy. She raised her voice and retorted, "Why do you always compare your eldest brother's son with our Chenchen?
The children in your eldest brother's family are all tall and strong, with an astonishing appetite, so they are naturally very strong when doing work.
But our Chenchen is small and thin, how can he have such great strength to work? Besides, I tell you, you are not allowed to order Chenchen to do this or that casually.
His little hands are meant for holding a pen, reading and writing, not for doing heavy work!
Huo Qingyan was speechless. When she said that, did it mean that his brother's children were born to work?
Ningning and her friends are very outstanding. They always rank first in their grade in exams. They are the real scholars who can hold a pen.
"Okay, let's not talk about them anymore. Talk to Tang Xue tomorrow. If she decides to stay, give her a ten-dollar raise. If not, we'll just go find a nanny."
Song Jingjing sighed, "Alright, I'll have a good talk with her tomorrow. Oh, if only your mother hadn't given birth to your little sister and hadn't gotten sick, at least we wouldn't have to hire a nanny."
"Just be content! At least my mother didn't get sick and I didn't ask you to take care of her."
Huo Qingyan decided to go to his parents' house tomorrow to see how his mother was doing and tell them about Song Jingjing's pregnancy.
The next day, Song Jingjing talked to Tang Xue and said that she could give her a ten yuan salary increase, but she would forget about finding her a date.
"Xiaoxue, my due date is in June next year. By then, I can send Feifei to the nursery as well. I will also take half a year of maternity leave. It won't be that hard for the two of us to take care of two children together."
Tang Xue thought about it carefully. If they really gave her an extra ten yuan salary every month, she could work for another year or two. But if they only gave her an extra five yuan, she would forget it.
Thirty yuan a month with food and accommodation included, that's three hundred and sixty yuan a year, and in two years she can save seven hundred and twenty yuan.
With this money, she is not afraid even if she marries back to the countryside, at least she has money in her hands.
Tang Xue asked Song Jingjing, "When will Sister Jing give me a raise? Next month?"
Song Jingjing paused and asked when she would get a raise. Of course, it would be best if she gave birth to the baby, but Qingyan said that he would give her a raise after that, as her belly would start to grow bigger by then.
You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. If you add them too early, they will suffer. If you add them too late, you won't be able to keep them.
"This year you are spending the New Year at my house. Not only will I give you a raise, I will also give you a red envelope of ten yuan.
We will definitely go to the Siheyuan for Chinese New Year this year. You can stay and see what we eat for Chinese New Year. "

Tang Xue was a little hesitant about whether to stay at the Huo family for the New Year. She thought it would be nice if she could get a salary increase starting from this month.
Later she thought, if she stayed at the Huo family for the New Year this year, could she have dinner at the same table with Huo Qinghuan?
If they get to know each other for a long time, will he fall in love with her? If he does, she won't have to go back to her hometown.
"Sister Jing, let's talk about this later! I plan to write a letter home in a couple of days and see what they say, and then I'll give you a reply."
"Okay, give me the answer as soon as possible. If you don't stay, we'll have to find someone else to help."
Tang Xue smiled and nodded in agreement, thinking: If I can earn 30 yuan a month, it will definitely be very attractive to many rural women.
Although the work might be hard, as long as she could earn enough money to improve her life, what would the hardship be? So she had to think it over carefully.
After finishing lunch, Huo Qingyan hurried home with two canned fruits, a can of malted milk, a bag of red apples, and two kilograms of crystal clear white sugar in his hands.
When he stepped into the house, he saw at a glance that the already thin figure now looked even more emaciated, almost not in human form, and a pang of sadness rose in his heart.
"Mom, why have you become so thin again!" Huo Qingyan walked quickly to Xiao Ya, held her dry hand and said with heartache.
Xiao Ya sighed softly and replied, "Alas, it's because I have to drink so many bitter and hard-to-swallow medicinal soups every day. How can I have an appetite to eat?"
Huo Qingyan quickly placed the supplements in his hand on the table, then opened a can of canned fruit, scooped out a spoonful and placed it to Xiao Ya's lips, saying, "Mom, try this can of lychees first. It's delicious. It's important for you to nourish your body."
Xiao Ya shook her head and refused, "Why are you buying these things, kid? Take these cans back for the children. I won't eat them. Mom, have you had lunch yet?"
Huo Qingyan smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Mom. I've already had lunch. Actually, I came back specially this time not only to check on your health, but also to tell you and Dad some great news!"
Huo Junshan, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but get curious when he heard this and asked, "Oh? What good news is it that made you come all the way here?"
"Dad, Mom, my wife went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor told her she's pregnant. Jingjing is actually having twins."
"Oh, really? Jingjing is also pregnant with twins." Huo Junshan also found it a little unbelievable. He didn't expect that the eldest son's wife gave birth to twins, and the second son's wife was also pregnant with twins.
Are twins really that easy to have? Why hadn't he seen this before?
When Xiao Ya heard that Song Jingjing was pregnant with two children, she couldn't help but think of Ling Fei. She and Junshan buried the two children she had induced abortions with.
So she warned, "Qingyan, you must keep an eye on Jingjing during her pregnancy. Don't let her fall."
"Mom, I know. I will definitely keep an eye on her. That Tang Xue didn't want to work anymore when she heard my wife was pregnant..."
Huo Junshan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Tang Xue didn't want to do this anymore and was planning to ask Xiaoya to help them take care of the child?
"If Tang Xue doesn't want to do it, then find another one. Your mother is in poor health, and your sister is still at your eldest brother's house. It's impossible for your mother to help you take care of the child."
"Dad, what are you thinking? How can I let Mom take care of our children? If she really doesn't want to do it, then I'll find someone else. I'll have Jingjing tell her that if she stays, she'll get a ten yuan salary increase every month. After all, there are so many children at home and so much to do."
"You guys have to handle this on your own. Your mother and I can't help you."
"Yeah, I know."
