Chapter 711: Finding a Suitable Nanny (Page 1/2)
Lin Man thought to herself that Song Jingjing was just using her daughter as an excuse because she was craving cream cake.
After all, Huo Anran is still young and just turned one year old in June. How can such a young child eat cream cake?
However, Lin Man did not expose Song Jingjing's little thoughts on the spot, but chose to continue packing in silence.
At this moment, Huo Yining carefully scooped up a piece of cake with a spoon, then handed it to Huo Qinghuan with a smile on his face, saying, "Uncle, come and try this cake. You contributed to it, too!"
However, Huo Qinghuan gently waved his hand to refuse, saying, "You should enjoy it slowly. It's only a small piece of cake, and you're dividing it up.
Moreover, I now know the specific steps of making a cake. During this summer vacation, I will go buy some ingredients and try to make it myself at home."
Hearing this, Huo Yining couldn't help but laugh happily and responded, "That's great! When you learn how to make birthday cakes, you must invite me over to try them!"
Huo Qinghuan responded without hesitation: "Okay! No problem. After I learn the cooking technique, I will definitely invite you to taste my cooking skills as soon as possible!" His face was filled with a confident and excited smile.
At this time, Lin Man said gently, "Children, as long as you are good and obedient, when each of your birthdays comes, Mommy promises to make a beautiful birthday cake for each of you!"
Hearing this, Huo Yixin's eyes, which were originally as bright as stars, instantly shone with a different brilliance. She asked with joy:
"Mom, if my brother and I celebrate our birthday together, will you make two cakes for us?"
She looked at Lin Man with anticipation, as if she couldn't wait to get a positive answer.
However, Lin Man gently shook her head and replied with a smile: "Xinxin, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Mommy will just make you a big two-layer cake!"
Huo Yixin couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked curiously, "Wow, the cake can actually be made into a double layer? That must be super beautiful and super delicious!"
Her little head began to imagine the appearance of the double-layer cake, and her saliva almost flowed out.
For the twins’ birthdays, it’s actually possible to make two cakes, but Lin Man still wants to try making a double-layer cake. However, the twins’ birthdays have to wait until New Year’s Day, and the second child, Huo Yian, will have his birthday first at the end of August in the lunar calendar.
Next time it’s her second child’s birthday, she’ll just make a twelve-inch cake. A ten-inch one is too small and there won’t be enough to share.
After Yang Huiling and Du Xiaojuan got the cake, they wanted to leave first. They both stood up at the same time and said, "Xiao Man, I'll take this bowl back first. I'll bring it to you next time."
Lin Man said, "Aunt Si, there's no need to bother. You don't need to send me the food."
"Okay, then we'll go first."
As soon as Yang Huiling and Du Xiaojuan left, Huo Junlin and Huo Junheng also hurriedly stood up to say goodbye.
Huo Li said, "Since you have to go to work, go early."
Huo Junlin smiled apologetically and said, "Dad, we'll come to see you next time."
"Go!"
Song Jingjing watched her uncle and aunt leave, then turned to look at her two children and said softly, "Chenchen, Zizi, it's time for us to go home!"
However, before she could finish her words, she saw her son Huo Yichen looking at her expectantly. His eyes were full of desire and pleading, making it hard for her to refuse.

Huo Yichen tugged at the corner of her clothes and said coquettishly, "Mom, I really want to stay and play with Wenwen. We still have to go downstairs to roll hoops later."
At the same time, Huo Yingzi, who had just finished eating the cake, held the bowl and carefully licked the remaining cream in the bowl as if no one was around.
She ate with gusto, not even bothering to wipe the cream off the corners of her mouth.
While licking the bowl, he mumbled incoherently: "Mom, I don't want to go back. I want to stay at my aunt's house and play."
Song Jingjing was still hesitating whether to agree to the children's request, but when she saw her daughter holding the empty bowl tightly in her hand and still licking it, a nameless fire surged in her heart.
She frowned and raised her voice, scolding, "Huo Yingzi, look at what you're doing! You've already finished the cake, why are you still licking the bowl? Are you a puppy?"
Seeing his wife start to lose her temper for no apparent reason again, Huo Qingyan advised, "Alright, alright, stop scolding Zizi. This is her first time eating cream cake too. She thinks the cream smells good, so she wants to lick the cream out of the bowl."
Song Jingjing snorted coldly, "Why doesn't Xinxin lick the bowl?"
Huo Yixin's face turned red immediately when she was named. She was older than Huo Yingzi, so how could she do such a childish thing as licking the bowl?
The cake is gone, so is it. Anyway, her mother will make it for her second brother’s birthday next time. She doesn’t want to lick the bowl.
Huo Junshan handed over his portion of cake, which he had only tasted a bite of, and said, "Come here, Zizi. Grandpa gives you this bowl of cake."
Just as Huo Yingzi was about to take it, Huo Yi rushed over and said, "Grandpa, I want to eat too."
Huo Junshan said, "Okay, you two siblings can share it."
After saying that, he looked at Huo Qingyan and said, "Qingyan, I specially asked someone to help you find a nanny to take care of your child. I finally found two suitable ones, one is eighteen years old and the other is thirty-eight years old. Which one do you think is suitable?"
Song Jingjing didn't expect that after sending her little girl to be taken care of by her parents-in-law, her father-in-law would find a suitable nanny for them so quickly.
Huo Qingyan was about to respond when Song Jingjing couldn't wait to interrupt, "Dad, you haven't told us the wages of these two nannies yet!
When Tang Xue came to help take care of the children, I initially gave her 25 yuan a month, but later, as the work became more frequent, the salary increased to 30 yuan a month."
Huo Junshan thought for a moment and then said, "As for the wages, we haven't discussed them yet, but twenty-five yuan should be about right."
Hearing this, Song Jingjing quickly asked, "Okay, Dad, let's talk about this 38-year-old sister first. How is her health?"
Is there any infectious disease or something? Also, what's her personality like? I hope she's not the type with a bad temper who'll secretly beat the kids at every turn!
Huo Junshan couldn't help but feel helpless, thinking that Song Jingjing was taking care of the child at home every day, so how could a nanny dare to hit the child?
Besides, things like infectious diseases are nonsense. If they really existed, his colleague would have spread the news long ago.
So, he patiently explained, "Don't worry, Xiao Song. The 30-year-old woman is in very good health.
Her children have grown up, and she just wants to earn some money to support her children's education, so she wants to be a nanny.
If you think it's okay, I'll ask someone to come over and let her try it for a few days. If she doesn't do a good job, it won't be too late to replace her then."
At this moment, Huo Qingyan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Dad, why don't we call that 18-year-old girl over and give it a try! Young people should pay attention to hygiene..."
