"Come in and sit down quickly, I've been waiting for you for a while!"
The woman walked in cautiously, carrying a small cloth bag!
"Please sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water!"
Shen Chunyan went to the kitchen and poured the woman a glass of boiled water and placed it in front of her!
"Thank you!"
The woman put her hands on her legs stiffly, then looked around, as if she was thinking!
"You were introduced by Li Mobai's comrade-in-arms. You seem to be a relative of Gao Feng's family, right?"
"Yeah, I just came from the country, so I don't have a job yet!"
"None of this matters. It doesn't matter if you're from the countryside or are originally from Huaxi Town. You can see that my house isn't big, and I don't have any complicated work. It's just that I'm pregnant now, so I spend most of my time working. I have an older son who needs to be taken to and from school every day, and someone also needs to prepare my three meals a day!"
The woman nodded. She looked at Shen Chunyan and it seemed that she was indeed pregnant. In their countryside, when they saw a pregnant woman, their expressions were different from those of ordinary women!
"I can do these tasks. Three meals a day, even though the food I cook may not be particularly delicious, I will prepare it very carefully. I have decades of experience in cooking, so you can rest assured!"
Shen Chunyan nodded. She thought the woman in front of her was not bad, but she looked like a miserable person because she was tall and thin, with no flesh on her face and high cheekbones. Although she didn't know how to read faces, she had a feeling that her life didn't seem to be going well!
"If you agree, you can come over tomorrow and we'll give it a try. I'll pay you for every day you work. If it works, we can sign a long-term contract!"
When the woman heard Shen Chunyan say this, she was very surprised. She didn't expect Shen Chunyan to use her so easily!
"Officer's wife, I'll start working now. There's no need to wait until tomorrow!"
As the woman spoke, she began to clean the house. Shen Chunyan didn't care. After all, she would be the nanny in her own home in the future, and the two of them would have many opportunities to spend time together, so some things had to be said up front!
Sometimes, Shen Chunyan is a very particular person. After all, she was a rich second-generation with a good family background, so many of her ideas are different from those of ordinary women!
She thinks that there are many things that can be solved by spending money and make her feel relaxed, which is a good thing!
So every rag in her house is used to clean a different place. Some are used to clean the kitchen, some are used to clean the windowsill, and some are used to clean the table!
Shen Chunyan told the woman how she wiped herself with every piece of cloth. In fact, the woman didn't quite understand Shen Chunyan's behavior!
Isn't it just a rag? What's the difference when wiping it clean? But she knew that Shen Chunyan must be very concerned!
She was a city person, and he said she was different from him. If she wanted to live in the city, she would have to work according to other people's ideas.
"Remember?"
"Officer's wife, I remember that!"
"Sister, you don't have to call me that. You can call me Xiaoyan or Chunyan. You don't have to call me the officer's wife. It's not the same era anymore. Besides, my husband isn't a high-ranking officer, he's just an ordinary pilot!"
"So your husband is also a pilot, which is the same job as my relative. That's great! Although their work as pilots is hard, they earn a lot of money. It seems you are a blessed person!"
After hearing what her elder sister said, Shen Chunyan smiled. Although she knew that her elder sister was flattering him, who doesn't want to hear nice things?
After explaining what work needed to be done at home, Shen Chunyan asked her eldest sister to clean. Sometimes you can't be too strict. Although she is a nanny, she also has human rights!
Shen Chunyan sat there, watching her elder sister clean the house. The two of them talked and chatted, and they got along very well!
"Sister, what's your name?"
"My name is Wang Xiufang, I'm 50 years old, and I just divorced my husband!"
"Oh, can I just ask the reason for the divorce?"
The eldest sister hesitated for a moment, "He is a domestic abuser!"
"Ah, no way, there really is such a man!"
When the eldest sister heard Shen Chunyan ask this, she nodded quickly, fearing that Shen Chunyan would not believe it!
"I didn't disbelieve you, I just wondered why there would be such a person!"
The eldest sister sighed and frowned, as if she had a lot of grievances in her heart and had nowhere to vent!
"When we first got married, life wasn't like this. It was great back then, but later we had conflicts over having children. He wanted a boy, but I gave birth to three girls in a row!"
Shen Chunyan knew that preference for boys over girls existed in every era, including the technologically advanced era in which she would later live, where some people still thought boys were more important than girls!
"Did you get divorced because of this?"
"No, because I couldn't give birth to a boy, he didn't like me. We always quarreled, and he would hit me. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I got divorced! I was the first divorced person in our village. Those women laughed at me for being stupid and for having no place to stay after the divorce!"
Shen Chunyan knew that no matter what era, people were very harsh on divorced women, as if the reason for the divorce was their fault, and they would never look for answers elsewhere!
"Sister, I understand you. This is the modern age. If you can't make it, then divorce. It's hard for you now, but hold on. Things will get better in a few years. Where are your three daughters?"
"They are still with my ex-husband. He won't let our daughter go with me, and there's nothing I can do!"
Shen Chunyan knew how difficult life was for a woman after divorce in the 1980s. Not to mention going back to her parents' home, her parents would not take her in and would even think she was a disgrace!
"Then why didn't you go back to your parents' home?"
"Don't mention it. I can't go back to my parents' home. They think I'm embarrassed!"
Sure enough, things turned out just as she thought, "So you are living in your niece's house now!"
"Well, there's nothing I can do. I really have nowhere to go. When I save some money, I'll rent a small place. I don't want to trouble them!"
"Okay, work hard for me and try to make more money!"
"Um!"
Chen Chunyan and the nanny Wang Xiufang got along very well that afternoon, and Chen Chunyan immediately decided to let Wang Xiufang stay as a nanny!
It is not easy to meet an employer like her, it only shows that she is very lucky!
