He Wenyan and Yan Weiguo got up before five o'clock. There were already some soy sauce pancakes, some porridge, some fresh red, white and green side dishes, and some red, soft-boiled eggs on the table.
He Wenyan was very satisfied.
A short separation is better than a new marriage, and Wen Xin did not disturb them. When the two of them were eating, He Wenyan looked at Yan Weiguo with joy on her brows. Yan Weiguo was very proper in eating, but he praised the sauce-flavored pancake highly. He Wenyan also praised Wen Xin for the first time.
Wen Xin didn't specifically use the extracted materials in the system for them, but she was used to using the things in the system. On the one hand, she had to eat, and on the other hand, she was a little disgusted with the unpurified water in reality, which was not as sweet and pure as the water extracted by the system. The water extracted from the source once can be used for a long time, so she was not that stingy.
In the kitchen, Wen Xin was holding a cake in her mouth and standing on tiptoe to look out of the window. There was more than just the Yan family in the military compound. When she came, she saw several such single-family buildings and several bungalows. They were probably the families of the military cadres.
She ate while watching, took a glass of fruit and vegetable juice from the system, and made some essential oil tea, leaning against the window, letting the fragrance drift in the wind.
The orderly drove over early in the morning. When Yan Weiguo left, He Wenyan accompanied him to the door. Only after the car left the compound did she look at the Oda watch on her hand. It was time for her to go to work.
After hurriedly taking the bag, he told Wen Xin, "Send Miaomiao to school at around six o'clock. I'll put the keys to the house and the front door on the coffee table. Miaomiao will have lunch at school at noon, so pack a lunch box for her."
Seeing that He Wenyan was about to leave after she finished speaking, Wen Xin hurriedly followed her out. This was only her first day here and she was not familiar with any of the business. He Wenyan completely became a hands-off boss, "Aunt He, where is Miaomiao going to school?"
"It's not far from the compound, Cangnan Primary School. There's a mouth under your nose. If you can't find it, just ask around." He Wenyan tidied her clothes impatiently.
She is still very good at dressing herself up. Even in this conservative era, you can still see her exquisiteness. She wears a small white shirt, neat trouser lines, clean black leather shoes, a famous brand watch, and a women's bag that is obviously very fashionable in this era. It is probably a popular item bought with foreign currency. Her neatly combed hair and glasses on her nose reflect the high-end and intellectual workplace style of this era.
"Director He, it's time to go to work." Not far from the Yan family's two-story building was a row of bungalows. Someone was hanging clothes there. When he saw her go out, he stretched his neck and greeted her.
Unlike her family, where she would always give Wen Xin serious instructions here and there, she acted like an intellectual to the neighbors in the compound, nodded to them reservedly and left.
There were people coming and going in the bungalow, either washing something or drying something, and they saw her leave. They were all whispering, and it was obvious that they were talking about He Wenyan.
"Humph, what's so great about that? Isn't she just wearing a white coat? Look at her, her eyes are on the top of her head. Compared with Yan Weiguo's original wife, she is far inferior..."
"that is!"
Because they were close and the other party didn't lower their voices, Wen Xin could hear what they said clearly.
It seems that He Wenyan is not doing well in the compound. After all, she is getting married for the second time, and she disdains to associate with these vulgar women who only know how to wash clothes, cook, take care of children and gossip all day long. In addition, others compare her with her original wife everywhere. With her self-esteem, she naturally doesn't want to pay attention to these people. The lady's diplomacy is a complete failure.
"Shh, keep your voice down. There's the Yan family's nanny over there."
"I'm afraid of her? I dare to say that in front of Yan Weiguo!"
"Tsk, what can you do! How can you still be the Yan family's family?"
…
"Hey, I say, the nanny that He Wenyan's family hired is pretty. What was she thinking, inviting such a vixen into her family?"
"What is she afraid of? Yan Weiguo will not make mistakes in his personal conduct, and his son is not her own..."
"He Wenyan has been married for more than a year, right? Why is there no sign of pregnancy?"
"Forty? Can you still have children?"
"Isn't Mr. He a doctor?"
…
This group of women in the family quarters get together and gossip about other people's affairs. They talk nonsense and dare to say anything.
Wen Xin was so scared that she stood at the door for a short while and then ran away.
Yan Miaomiao was young and woke up late, so she was still sleeping at this time. Wen Xin walked around the house for a long time in an anxious manner before she found her lunch box.
There was still plenty of time, so she made a heart-shaped bento. She pinched a rice ball into a panda face, cut a peeled egg in the middle and pasted two eyes on it to make a little white face with a smile and yolk showing. She also rolled a few vegetable egg rolls that she could eat directly, put a few red shrimps on them, and cut a piece of corn, made eyes and a mouth in the middle to disguise it as the sun.
Then she carefully adjusted the box with her hands, and when she opened the lid, it was like a fairy tale. She smiled slightly, closed the box, and planned to give Miaomiao a surprise.
It was almost six o'clock, she went to the room and woke up Yan Miaomiao. Yan Miaomiao was very well behaved. It was probably because her family encountered a drastic change when she was a child and she was sent down to the countryside for two years, plus her mother passed away. Although the child did not understand, it still affected her. Now her conditions are good, but she is not at all spoiled and does not make trouble. She will sit obediently at the dining table and eat whatever Wen Xin gives her.
He Wenyan usually sends her to school. I don’t know what she is like in front of He Wenyan, but it is definitely not like now. Today, it was Wen Xin who sent her off. Along the way, he was like a bird released from a cage, holding her hand, jumping and hopping, and giggling from time to time.
He Wenyan had already greeted everyone at the gate of the compound, and no one stopped Wen Xin from entering or leaving.
Fortunately, she didn't have to ask around where the school was, as Yan Miaomiao knew the way.
Not only does she feel like she’s out of a cage, Wen Xin feels the same way!
She came in in a hurry, and was sent out again before she could catch her breath. Until now, she hasn't even figured out what the surrounding environment is like.
Now that she was out, it was a good opportunity to investigate. She didn't know the difference between the world in the novel and the reality, but it seemed that the strictest time had passed. Occasionally, fresh colors other than black and white, blue and gray could be seen on the streets. Although they were not bright red or green, at least changes had begun to occur.
Along the way, she saw vegetable markets, department stores, state-owned restaurants, and even a privately owned one. There was a sign at the door saying that no food coupons were needed. The prices were very high, but many people still went in.
As expected, there are a lot of rich people in Kyoto!
Places like the supply and marketing cooperatives were crowded with people, and the sales clerks inside cursed from time to time. The service attitude was so bad, but no one complained. This only existed in this era.
She also saw a foreign bank, but it would definitely require foreign exchange coupons. She didn't have a penny on her now. She was short of money, tickets, coupons, everything.
Feeling extremely melancholy, I sent Yan Miaomiao to school. On the way back, I was still wondering how I could get these things. If you really want to go south, you must have some money and tickets. It is unrealistic to go without any money.
Passing by a foreign company, her eyes almost grew long into its mouth. Although the clothes were from decades ago and there were not many styles, there were still classic styles to wear.
There were also underwear and pajamas. The patterns were a bit old-fashioned, but much better than the bellybands still worn in this world. Fortunately, she had brought two sets of underwear in her suitcase, which was just enough for changing. But for a woman, what could two sets do? Ten sets are not enough!
…
She hasn't returned yet, but the fact that she is the nanny in Yan Weiguo's family has already been known to all the family members in the compound.
I have to admire the ability of people in this era to pass on knowledge through word of mouth, it’s so powerful.
As soon as she entered, someone came up to her. It was a girl who was about the same age as the supporting actress in the original book, with two rustic braids, a floral top, and black pants. Regardless of her clothes and her skin color, she looked quite healthy and pretty.
She took the initiative to come up and talk to Wen Xin, "Are you Yan Weiguo's family? I'm Feng Jianjun's nanny. His wife just gave birth to a child, and I came from my hometown to help."
Wen Xin is now worried about not being able to get into the compound. She really needs first-hand information in this circle. It would be great if someone took the initiative to come and talk to her.
"How much do you make a month?" she asked.
"……thirty."
"That's so high! I only got fifteen dollars."
Wen Xin: “…”
In Wen Xin's eyes, there is no difference between thirty and fifteen, both are pitifully few!
But from the other party's tone, this was a big problem. She was afraid of causing any trouble, so she explained to her: "I am a relative of Director He's family, and he is taking care of me."
"No wonder, I really envy you. If I could also work as a nanny in Captain Yan's house, I would do it even if you don't pay me."
…
In this poor era, the male protagonist's looks can also earn him a salary...
"Do you know about that incident with the art troupe?" She looked around and asked her quietly.
"What's the matter?" Wen Xin asked curiously.
"There's a girl in the art troupe who's courting Director Yan. I heard she's so pretty!"
