Chapter 1035 Aunt Vanilla
The main door is difficult to open, so people usually enter and exit the house through the side door.
As Lu Miao led Xu Xiangcao into the side door corridor, he introduced them along the way:
"This is the bathroom in the front yard. You usually take a shower here. These rooms are empty. You can pick one and live with Wang Xiu from now on."
"yes……"
"Can you sew?"
"Yes, I can make cloth shoes and do daily sewing!"
"Okay, I definitely can't keep your clothes. I'll find you some old clothes and shoes and you can alter them as you see fit."
"Thank you, Miss Lu..."
"Well, besides my husband and I, we have four children at home. Your daily duties are to cook and clean the house. The children always come first, and if necessary, everything else can be put aside. That's fine... Oh, by the way, we don't eat watermelon at home, so if I give you living expenses in the future, don't buy them. That's all for now. I'll discuss other trivial matters when Wang Xiu comes tomorrow."
"……yes."
As he was talking, he had already entered the inner courtyard.
Tang Mei saw Xu Xiangcao and asked Lu Miao what was going on.
Lu Miao gave a brief explanation and let Tang Mei ask whatever she wanted to ask.
As soon as she put her things down, she went upstairs to look for some old clothes that she no longer needed to wear.
Wang Xiu and Xu Xiangcao, one is tall with long arms and legs, and the other is small and skinny due to malnutrition.
Wang Xiu can't wear Lu Miao's clothes, but Xu Xiangcao can definitely wear them.
After searching through the drawers and cabinets upstairs for a long time, Lu Miao found two sets of clothes that he had worn when he was studying at Peking University in Beijing in the drawer cabinet under the wardrobe.
She has her own aesthetic sense. She likes both dark and light colors of woolen coats in autumn and winter, but she prefers light colors for summer jackets and skirts.
For no other reason.
First, it looks good.
The second is the clear color, which is not only bright and clean, but also visually cool.
I found two sets of clothes, a light pink jacket and mist blue pants.
A set of short-sleeved shirts with a light green top and pants two shades darker in the same color.
In summer, we prefer to wear cool clothes, so both pairs of pants are wide-leg pants with a length of 8 inches.
Xu Xiangcao is not very old, so this tender color is just right for her.
The clothes had been at the bottom of the box for too long, so Lu Miao shook them out and took a look, making sure there were no loose threads or damage before folding them again.
After getting a new towel and soap, Lu Miao went downstairs first.
After handing the things to Xu Xiangcao, Lu Miao originally wanted to ask Tang Mei to find a pair of shoes for Xu Xiangcao to wear first.
When Lu Miao looked down and saw that Xu Xiangcao had already put on her shoes, he said nothing and waved his hand to take Xu Xiangcao back to the front yard:
"You must always pay attention to personal hygiene. In winter, you can take a bath every two days, but in summer, you must take a bath every day."
"I understand, Miss Lu."
"Um."
Lu Miao nodded.
I heard children's voices coming from the front, and when I looked up, I saw the children's father carrying several schoolbags and walking in with the children.
When the children saw her, they also ran over:
"Aunt!"
"Mom!" "Mom, who is this?"
"This is the new sister who will be responsible for taking care of you from now on."
Lu Miao touched the heads of the children one by one and said with a smile:
"Go wash your hands and take a rest first. I'll introduce my sister to you later."
"oh!"
"Okay~"
The three children looked at Xu Xiangcao curiously, and soon ran to the inner yard, talking and laughing.
Fu Jingyou and his wife met each other's eyes, nodded slightly, and followed the children:
"Don't run so fast. Watch your step."
"I know, Dad!"
…
Lu Miao was in front teaching Xu Xiangcao how to use a shower.
I let Xu Xiangcao take a shower before going inside to find her, and then I went back to the inner courtyard first.
After Lu Miao left, Xu Xiangcao touched the soft clothes in her hands, and then looked up at the ancient eaves with cultural heritage above her head.
There is always a pleasant fragrance in the nose.
Xu Xiangcao withdrew her gaze and looked at the soap on the clothes in her arms.
She picked it up and smelled it doubtfully. Surprise flashed in her eyes. She quickly grabbed the soap and the clothes and went into the bathroom, locking the door.
Before, Xu Xiangcao was wearing tattered clothes, and she was covered in dust and dirt, so dirty that she looked unrecognizable.
Only after washing it off will its original appearance be revealed.
Although she cannot be called beautiful, she is very pretty and certainly has nothing to do with "ugly".
Lu Miao nodded after looking at it, and introduced the two sides so that everyone could get to know each other.
Tang Mei watched from the side and said with a smile:
"Vanilla calls you sister, and you let the children call her sister. Doesn't this mess up the generations?"
Lu Miao was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and realized it was true.
But she didn't want to be called old, and she felt that Xu Xiangcao was only seventeen years old, and it was not appropriate for the children to call her aunt.
Just when I was about to say that you can call me whatever you want, regardless of the details, Tang Mei stroked Ming Xia's long twintails and said:
"Don't listen to your mother, just call her Auntie, just like Auntie Meizi."
Ming Xia nodded, looked at Xu Xiangcao first and shouted:
"Aunt Vanilla."
Shi An and Ming Yi followed closely behind and shouted:
"Aunt Vanilla."
Xu Xiangcao suddenly stuttered, her hands moving nervously:
"Madam... Master, Miss, I, you can call me anything."
Tang Mei quickly corrected:
"Oh, that's not right! From now on, you should call me aunt, and call the children by their names. People like us don't care about that."
They are looking for a nanny or a maid, not some class-based trade in slaves or servants.
What about Mrs. and Miss?
How terrible would it be if others heard this?
"Yes, auntie!"
Xu Xiangcao quickly changed her words.
Seeing that Tang Mei was able to teach people well, Lu Miao didn't intend to care and said directly:
"Wang Xiu will be here tomorrow, aunt. You can make the arrangements yourself then. If there's anything you need, just let them do it."
Tang Mei smiled and nodded:
"Okay, I understand."
Tang Mei was originally reluctant to hire a servant.
But the yard was too big for her to handle by herself.
If some places are not cleaned and maintained on a daily basis, it will probably cost more to find someone to repair them when problems really occur in the future.
After thinking it over for a few times, Tang Mei gradually came to terms with it.
Money is not saved, it has to be spent.
Xu Xiangcao just came over, and Wang Xiu hadn't arrived yet, so Xu Xiangcao was not asked to do anything on this first day.
After she had taken a bath and had been introduced to others, he served her a separate dinner and gave her an old mattress, telling her to go back to her room to tidy up and rest.
As for the rest, we’ll talk about it after Wang Xiu comes.
…
At night, I sat on the edge of the bed applying lotion and heard the bathroom door click twice.
Lu Miao turned around and saw the child's father coming in shirtless and sweaty. He took the opportunity to tell him about Xu Xiangcao.
Fu Jingyou walked to the bed, picked her up lightly and rolled her onto the bed:
"Just bring them back. You can make the decision. When the other one comes tomorrow, explain your requirements to them in advance. If they don't work well in the future, you'll have a basis for dismissal or something like that."
