When Grandma Wang heard Su Wan's words, her eyes lit up immediately and she asked hurriedly, "Little Su, then tell me what you are planning in your heart?"
Su Wan couldn't help but laugh when she saw how anxious Grandma Wang was. It seemed that Grandma Wang really wanted to help Wu Gang solve his lifelong problem.
"Grandma Wang, don't worry. I was thinking that we should find a reason to let my sister-in-law and Wu Gang get in touch. Once they have a good impression of each other, this matter will fall into place smoothly."
After Su Wan returned from Lu's house that day, she also told Xu Guixiang about her plan to find a live-in son-in-law for Wang Xiao'e.
Xu Guixiang thought this was a bad idea. Wang Xiao'e was a woman with three children, and the four of them had no man to rely on.
If anything happens to Lu Xiaoxiao and Li Dani in the future, won't all the responsibilities fall on their daughter and son-in-law?
If there could be a man willing to come and take care of the four of them, it would be a great thing for everyone in the Lu family.
So after listening to Su Wan's words, Xu Guixiang also nodded repeatedly.
"Wanwan's idea is not wrong. Let's not reveal it to you for now. Let's arrange an opportunity for them to get in touch with each other first so that they can have a preliminary understanding of each other.
Let them slowly accept each other from the bottom of their hearts, think that the other party is still wrong, and then help to point out the problem. In this way, perhaps you can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Grandma Wang also nodded and said, "Then let's listen to Xiao Su and plan it carefully."
The three of them sat there discussing for a long time, and finally decided on a feasible plan.
Grandpa Wang is two years younger than Grandma Wang and will be 70 in three days.
Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang were both frugal people. They were not willing to celebrate their birthdays in their lifetime, as they thought it was a waste.
Moreover, he also believed in that set of superstitious words. When they were 60 years old, their children wanted to celebrate their 60th birthday for them, and they agreed no matter what. So their children and children have not mentioned the matter of celebrating their birthdays again in recent years.
But for Wu Gang's sake, Grandma Wang decided to be fashionable and give the old man a chance.
Wu Gang's home was just outside the city. The next day, Grandma Wang took more than half an hour to walk over and tell Wu Gang that Grandpa Wang was going to celebrate his 70th birthday, hoping that he could go and help.
“Your aunt’s legs have never been healed, so she went to see someone based on superstition. The person said that she would have another disaster after she turned 70, but she could get through it by holding a birthday banquet.
Your cousins are very busy at work and can hardly spare time. You and your aunt are older and don't do much physical work.
So my cousin thought of you and found someone to cook. Xiaogang, you just need to help with chores on that day."
Wu Gang had always respected this aunt and cousin, so he immediately agreed.
Su Wan and Xu Guixiang were also busy making arrangements.
Xu Guixiang also returned to Shiqiao Village on Liu Daya's ox cart the next day.
It was already noon when she arrived at Shiqiao Village. When she passed by the village chief's house, she found that there were many people gathered there.
Because she had something on her mind and was anxious to see Wang Xiao'e, she did not stop to inquire and walked away quickly.
Xu Guixiang didn't even bother to visit her home last time and directly knocked on the door of the Lu family's house.
Li Dani and Wang Xiao'e were busy in the kitchen. When they heard a knock on the door, Li Dani hurried over.
When she opened the door and saw Xu Guixiang, she smiled and let her in.
"It's my in-laws, come in quickly, come in quickly."
"My dear, I'm here to see Xiao'e. I have something to tell her."
Then Xu Guixiang whispered Su Wan's idea.
It was not until then that Li Dani learned that Xu Guixiang had gone to the city to take care of Su Wan.
She felt a little guilty in front of her in-laws, "My in-laws, I am so grateful to you. It should be your job to take care of Wanwan, but now you are asked to..."
Before Li Dani could finish speaking, Xu Guixiang interrupted her.
"Okay, we are all outsiders, whoever has time can go and take care of her for a while. Wanwan is your Lu family's daughter-in-law, but she is still your daughter after all. It is natural for you as a mother to take care of your daughter."
So, you don't have to be so embarrassed. Wait until Wanwan gives birth to the baby, and you will be busy. "
Li Dani thought about it and agreed. Who would take care of her grandson if she didn't? Xu Guixiang married two daughters-in-law this year, and the woman got pregnant just by saying so.
By then, she will be busy enough taking care of her two daughters-in-law and will have no time to take care of Su Wan.
Wanwan has to go to work to earn money, so it is her responsibility to take care of the children.
If Wang Xiao'e breaks up with that man, she can let go of this situation at home.
Thinking of this, Li Dani hurriedly said to Xu Guixiang: "Xiao E is cooking in the kitchen. Let's go to the kitchen and talk to her."
As they were talking, they arrived at the kitchen door. Wang Xiao'e was washing vegetables. She looked up and saw Li Dani and Xu Guixiang coming in. She quickly greeted them.
"Auntie, come here."
"Xiao'e is cooking. What are we having for dinner today?"
"Auntie, I made some noodles for you. You haven't eaten yet, right? Please stay and eat before you leave."
"I came here because I have something to tell you, and I will leave after I finish talking to you."
Xu Guixiang said as she took two steps towards Wang Xiao'e, "Xiao'e, Wanwan will help you find a job. I know if you are willing to do it."
Wang Xiao'e was stunned when she heard this. "What? Wanwan wants to get a job for you?"
She thought she had heard wrongly. There was no work to be found these days. All the city dwellers had found jobs, let alone them, the rural people.
"Well, there was an old couple who lived across the street from Wanwan.
Their children are very busy at work and can't take care of them.
Grandpa's legs are still very good, so he can walk more often. It's the old lady who takes care of everything inside and outside the house.
Now that she is older and has no place to live, she wants to find a nanny to buy groceries for them, cook meals, clean the house, etc. See if you can do it..."
"Auntie, are you saying that we should let you be their babysitter?"
Xu Guixiang nodded, "Well, Wanwan thinks you are quite suitable. You only know how to cook, you like to be clean, and you like to talk a lot, so let me ask you.
The old couple are both retired workers and are not short of money. What's more, their children are capable and they give them some allowance every month.
So the salary they offer is very low, calculated on a daily basis, one dollar per day. To be honest, if it was to take care of Wanwan, I would want to do it."
When Wang Xiao'e first heard about being a nanny, she was a little hesitant. Although she had never done this job, she had heard about it from someone from her mother's family who had worked as a nanny for a relative in the city.
“Don’t be fooled by their glamorous appearance in the city, they are actually very stingy. Those who have nannies at home are always on guard against them like they are guarding against thieves.
You can have one more bite of food and drink, and you have to settle the bill penny by penny after buying food. Otherwise, if there is even a difference of one penny, they will deduct it from your salary at the end of the month.
If you do something wrong, the host will be scornful, and those with a good temper will even curse you, and the curses are really ugly..."
Therefore, Wang Xiao'e subconsciously resisted the job of nanny, thinking that it was a job that required her to please others and trade her self-esteem for money.
However, when she heard that they would be paid for a day's work, she couldn't help but feel excited.
