Chapter 1096: Generous
After looking around, Wang Xiu was just about to stretch his neck to see what the room looked like when he heard the sound of someone walking out of the bathroom.
Wang Xiu quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at the host family's mother and son, and shouted with some confusion:
"Little Sister Lu..."
Lu Miao nodded gently and gave her two boxes of vanishing cream:
"Give one box each to Vanilla. The weather is dry now and will soon get colder, so your hands and face are prone to chapped skin. You can apply this on your face after work or whenever you have time."
When he was in the countryside, Lu Miao used vanishing cream that cost one or two yuan a box.
After she graduated and started working with a stable income, the price of the vanishing cream she used ranged from five to eight yuan.
Later, I moved into the factory yard, and my family no longer had to worry about food and clothing. Daily skin care products such as vanishing cream became even more popular.
Lu Miao currently uses the British brand Sunsilk.
In the past, it could only be bought at the Friendship Store, but this year it is also available in department stores, priced at twelve yuan a box.
Wang Xiu has never used this vanishing cream, but has seen it in a department store.
As soon as Wang Xiu saw the small paper box, he recognized the thing.
Not to mention how valuable this thing is, Wang Xiu didn't dare to accept it.
Even though he ate and took things from the house every day, Wang Xiu felt embarrassed to accept them.
"No, no, Sister Lu, I still have a lot of the clam oil you gave me last Mid-Autumn Festival! It's enough, I'll just use that!"
Wang Xiu declined and didn't dare to accept it.
Xiao Baichuan held his mother's hand, first looked at Aunt Xiuxiu, then looked up at his mother.
Finally, the little guy pulled his hand out from his mother's hand, took the two boxes of vanishing cream and walked towards Wang Xiu:
"Aunt Xiuxiu wants it. Mom gave it to her, so Aunt Xiuxiu wants it!"
Bai Chuan stood on tiptoe, holding the two small boxes and pushing them into Wang Xiu's pockets:
"Aunt Xiuxiu, this smells so good. Once you take it back, I'll want you to hold it for me again!"
Lu Miao shook his head and laughed, then persuaded again:
"Here, this works better than clam oil."
Wang Xiu looked at Lu Miao, then lowered his head to look at the little golden nugget.
He originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing what Xiao Jingeda said, Wang Xiu understood something.
He took the thing, touched Bai Chuan's little head, and smiled at Lu Miao:
"Then I'll take it. Thank you, Sister Lu!"
Lu Miao shook his head and told her not to worry about it, but he also gently warned her:
"Thinking of giving Vanilla a box."
For things that are not worth much money, apart from other factors, it is best to treat them equally if possible.
This will prevent any private conflicts between the nannies, which will affect the family atmosphere in the future and is not worth it.
Wang Xiu smiled and nodded in response:
"Hey, I get it, Miss Lu!"
Lu Miao nodded with a "hmm".
Afterwards, the three of them, two adults and one child, went downstairs again.
On the other side, in a small alley market on East Chang'an Street, Xu Xiangcao happened to run into a few other girls.
After Baichuan became less attached to Xu Xiangcao, the number of times Xu Xiangcao was arranged to go out shopping increased day by day.
Most of the people living in the nearby front and back streets and alleys have extraordinary backgrounds.
There are also many families who hire nannies or maids at home.
As Xu Xiangcao went out more often, she got to know a few young ladies who also worked as nannies.
Xu Xiangcao is a person who loves to enjoy life and is flamboyant. She had already announced the fact that she worked in a big house.
All the other young girls who worked as nannies envied her.
In addition, after meeting her every day and receiving some of her little favors, those girls gradually began to compliment her.
Xu Xiangcao really enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded and admired by others.
One of the girls who happened to be traveling with her saw that she had bought a large piece of pork in her basket and could not help but say:
"Sister Vanilla, your family bought so much meat again today!"
Xu Xiangcao curled the corners of her lips and said slowly:
"What's a little pork? We had shrimp and octopus the other day. Have you ever seen shrimp as big as your palm?"
The girls shook their heads, and someone asked curiously:
"What about fish with legs? I've never heard of them!"
The girls looked at each other and after confirming that they had never seen each other before, they were all very curious and hoped that Xu Xiangcao could tell them more about it.
However, Xu Xiangcao looked down on them for their unsophisticated and inexperienced appearance.
Xu Xiangcao curled her lips arrogantly, rolled her eyes, and said perfunctorily:
"Maybe next time. I have something to do at home today. I'll treat you to a popsicle and then I'll go back."
"A popsicle treat? Seriously?"
Regardless of whether it was true or not, the girls were immediately drawn to it.
Some people began to express their gratitude:
"Thank you, Sister Vanilla, you're so kind! So generous!"
Xu Xiangcao snorted complacently.
Although I had just had a fight with Wang Xiu when I came out.
But no one knows the benefits of going out to buy things better than Xu Xiangcao.
The head of the family is well-off, and as long as the bills reported for daily purchases are not outrageous, no one will notice any problems.
Things like the two-cent old popsicles, the two- or three-cent red and green bean popsicles, and the clown ice cream.
Xu Xiangcao ate them all secretly.
This time, she pretended to be rich and treated her young sisters to some popsicles. After successfully enjoying their admiration, Xu Xiangcao went home contentedly.
Before Xu Xiangcao even entered the kitchen, she was stopped by Lu Miao:
"What did you buy?"
Lu Miao asked as he walked closer to Xu Xiangcao and looked into the basket.
Xu Xiangcao thought she wanted to check the accounts, and said hurriedly:
"Sister Lu, there's not much to eat outside at this time, so I bought two pounds of pork from a private stall. The price is a few cents higher than at the butcher shop."
The few cents that were "expensive" were just enough to cover the cost of treating people to popsicles.
Lu Miao glanced at the pork in the basket and saw that it was fat and lean and of good quality, so he didn't say much and just ordered:
"Divide the meat into two portions. One portion is braised, and the other is minced into a paste and mixed with ginger water to make meatballs. I remember we still have half a winter melon left from the last time we picked it. You can use the meatballs and the winter melon to make a bowl of soup. As for the other seasonal vegetables, you can stir-fry or mix them up a few portions as well."
"Why!"
Xu Xiangcao's heart was beating fast, and she answered and hurried to the kitchen to work.
Perhaps because she felt guilty, Xu Xiangcao didn't dare to cut corners or do anything fancy when cooking.
When she finished cooking, Chen Xiangdong's car just stopped at the front door of the house.
Lu Miao first invited Chen Xiangdong to sit down and have tea.
After a while, he looked at his watch and felt that it was almost time. Considering that some things were not convenient to say in front of others, Lu Miao got up and took Chen Xiangdong upstairs.
At the same time, Lu Miao called Wang Xiu and Xu Xiangcao and asked them to bring the food upstairs.
Wang Xiu responded and went to the kitchen to pack and plate the food.
Xu Xiangcao glanced at Tang Mei's expression.
Seeing that Tang Mei didn't say anything, Xu Xiangcao followed Wang Xiu to the kitchen.
