Wen Xin finally had no choice but to go in.
Entering the living room, the view suddenly opened up and she took a quick glance.
Immediately, a strong feeling of nostalgia came over me, but it didn’t seem so bad.
Although it does not have a modern and exquisitely decorated design style, it has a sense of grandeur, simplicity and unconventionality, and is quite comfortable.
In her opinion, it was like turning over the pages of a yellowed book, which contained the charm of time.
The Yan family's living room is very large, bright and spacious, and very clean and tidy. Opposite the sofa and coffee table is a group of wooden cabinets that look very old. On the tallest cabinet is a TV with a screen with rounded corners, which is very cute.
It was the first time that Wen Xin saw this earliest type of TV. It was so small that she couldn't help but take a few more glances at it.
There are kettles and tea sets on the two low cabinets.
On the left seems to be the kitchen. The kitchen door is not closed, revealing a green corner of the refrigerator.
The other two doors probably led to the storage room and the bedroom. There were two large rows of bookshelves against the wall on the right side of the sofa. Next to the bookshelf hung a scroll with words as vigorous and powerful as a knife blade, which was majestic.
…
He Wenyan took them to the hall next door and sat them down.
When Luo Juan came, she was full of vigor and confidence, but she became dispirited as soon as she entered the military compound. After entering the Yan family's door, she was like Liu Laolao entering the city, and she couldn't even take her eyes off.
No wonder, when her family was proudly purchasing a sewing machine, the Yan family already had a refrigerator, a color TV and a radio.
When she was riding her 28-bar bicycle with great enthusiasm, others were driving a big jeep!
In the era described in the book, the quality of life of the two families was really very different. After all, these things could not be bought with just money, you also needed connections. The good things were basically limited sales and foreign goods.
It turns out that at this time, there were already restrictions and imports.
He Wenyan looked at Luo Juan, who was hunched over, looking around restlessly as soon as she came in with a flattering smile on her face. In fact, she felt disgusted. She worked in a hospital and had seen many people like this. She could tell at a glance that they looked honest on the outside but were treacherous on the inside.
On the other hand, Wen Xin, who had been quiet, seemed quite good. She was not as timid and servile as the other girls. She came in and wanted to take a look openly. I want to see it, I want to see it openly, but my walking posture is a little unconventional...
If Wen Xin knew about this, she would definitely give a dry laugh. It’s not that she is unruly, but she is just used to it. When I was in art school, I practiced my body posture.
Even if you are drooling and stretching your legs in the dormitory, you look ugly. But when you go out, once you put on makeup, high heels and a skirt, you will naturally strike a posture. No matter whether it is the concubine's walk or the model's walk, as long as it can show off your perfect figure, you have to learn a little bit of it.
She is used to it...
He Wenyan thought that although there was a little bit of twisting of the waist and hips, she glanced at Yan Zeyang who was still sitting on the sofa not far away. At this time, he had not turned his face to go upstairs and was still sitting downstairs. It seemed that he was going to have a taste of this.
She was actually looking forward to it.
So she pushed up her glasses.
"In terms of seniority, I have to call you my cousin. Although our house is big, the work is not tiring. I just cook three meals a day, wash clothes, and clean the living room. I don't need to do the bedroom. I am a doctor and they are both in the army. They clean their own rooms. There is also a six-year-old girl in the house who can dress and eat by herself. You just need to look after the child when you are free."
Luo Juan immediately said, "Okay, okay, this is not really work, it's too easy. If I wasn't in the factory, I would have come here to do it!"
He Wenyan: “…”
Her husband Wen Weiguo is busy with work and rarely comes home. She also has a job in a hospital, so Zeyang solved the problem in the army. The main reason they want to find a nanny is that they have a child at home. For a family like theirs, they have to choose carefully even if they want to find a nanny, because not everyone can come in.
Not to mention Luo Juan, even her daughter didn't agree at first. You can't just stuff anyone into your home. What do you think this place is?
If it weren't for her parents accepting a lot of things from the Wen family without her consent, and making her parents smile, and the fact that the two families were somewhat related, they would have forced her to agree, saying that they were all relatives and the benefits should not be shared by outsiders.
He Wenyan was very upset. She looked down on such despicable people from the bottom of her heart. What's more, what the Wen family did in the past was really too unkind.
Although this incident happened before she got married, she did admit that if the Yan family had not fallen, she would not have had the opportunity to meet Yan Weiguo and would never have been able to marry into the family. However, the Yan family was deeply heartbroken towards those people who had taken advantage of their misfortune.
Although among those who framed the Yan family and stabbed them in the back, the Wen family was just a small fish.
However, because of this incident, Yan Weiguo's first wife died of a serious illness when she was sent down to the countryside, leaving behind a four or five-year-old daughter. Yan Weiguo could be magnanimous.
But Yan Weiguo's son Yan Zeyang refused. This was a well-known devil in the military region. Not only did he not go to deal with you, but he also came to your door.
He Wenyan was really having a headache. Today, she took advantage of the fact that this devil was at home and called Luo Juan over. She wanted to use this devil's hand to completely put an end to the Wen family's idea of sending their daughter over.
Do you think she can't see? Why is he so persistent in sending his daughter to be a nanny? Is it because their Wen family needs the money from a nanny? This is Sima Zhao's intention.
At first, when she looked at the couple, she really wanted to advise them to save their worries. There were so many pretty girls in the art troupe of Yan Zeyang's army, all eyeing him. Who did your daughter think of her?
But she did not expect that Luo Juan's daughter really had a pure and beautiful face without any makeup. Compared with her, those beautiful arts soldiers seemed dull and lacked that special temperament and charm.
That's why she was a little more enthusiastic. When she entered the room just now, Yan Zeyang looked obviously unhappy, but he didn't kick her out on the spot. This alone was quite interesting.
Who is Yan Zeyang? If he doesn't like someone, you can't even step through the door.
When she first entered the Yan family, Yan Zeyang didn't even call her aunt.
Even though she is the chief physician of the hospital, she still has to look at his face after marrying into the family. The family relationships of a second marriage are complicated to begin with, and his ex-wife left behind two children. The older one has long been independent and usually ignores her and is not in a good mood.
The younger one has been married for five years. At this age, she already knows the difference between her biological mother and stepmother. She wants to love her like her own daughter, but after all, they are different and it is difficult to find the right balance. In addition, she is busy with work every day and does not have much time to care about her, so it is still a bit awkward to get along with her.
The family relationship can still be maintained for now, but Yan Zeyang has reached the marriageable age. If he marries someone who is difficult to get along with, I am afraid that even the current superficial peace will be difficult to maintain. Once a dispute arises, outsiders will often compare her with the previous one and say irresponsible things about her as a stepmother.
Therefore, out of selfish desire, He Wenyan actually didn't want Yan Weiguo's son to marry someone of equal status. The family already had tense relations, and if a spoiled and overbearing woman married into the family, then it would be really difficult for her to be the cheap mother-in-law.
If I marry someone of ordinary status, it would be easier to control her. At least she would be honest and not cause trouble.
She was quite satisfied with Wen Xin in front of her. She was quiet, talkative, pretty, and seemed to have a good personality. If she could get together with Weiguo's son, she would be happy to see it happen. At least they would be a distant relative, and anything she said would be of use to Wen Xin's family.
Even with the devil's mentality, he might not welcome the Wen family. I'm afraid he will not only not marry them but also bully them. After all, he has done things like revenge before. Yan Weiguo said that his son has been nicknamed Demon Yan since he was a child.
But this has nothing to do with He Wenyan. She is only responsible for recruiting people. As for the follow-up, she will not interfere. She has to bear the final outcome herself. It has nothing to do with her.
"I see this little cousin has delicate skin and tender flesh. Can she do the job of a nanny?" He Wenyan looked at Wen Xin. Her fingers were so tender that there was not even a callus on them.
Luo Juan immediately patted her chest and assured: "Oh, you can rest assured. Apart from other things, few people can compare to Wen Xin in cooking. You don't know that Wen Xin grew up with her aunt. Her aunt was a maid in the imperial kitchen of the palace. The food she made was for the people in the palace. It was very particular. Wen Xin has been with her aunt for so many years. Not to mention that she has learned the skills 100%, but the food she makes is better than that of ordinary people..."
He Wenyan immediately frowned, "What era is this? And it's the emperor in the palace. How can people hear what he said?"
Luo Juan slapped her lips immediately, "Yes, yes, that's right, I'm talking nonsense, I deserve to be beaten! Don't worry, Wen Xin's cooking skills, just look at me, I'm not exaggerating."
Sitting next to me, I watch my nose with my eyes, and my heart with my nose: "..."
What else can she say? It's just short of trembling with fear, how can the imperial kitchen learn it 100%? She almost blew her own trumpet. If she really wanted to serve a full banquet, she wouldn't even recognize all the names of the dishes...
"For an ordinary family, home-cooked meals will do." Although He Wenyan said this, everyone has their own little thoughts. When she heard that the other aunt was from the imperial kitchen in the palace, she was a little tempted. It's not that she wanted to be the emperor again, but mainly because she wanted her aunt to cook delicious food, which of course couldn't be better.
"How about this, hiring a nanny outside usually costs ten yuan, and in our compound it's fifteen to twenty yuan. I'll give Wen Xin thirty yuan. What do you think?" He Wenyan said after a moment of hesitation.
Originally I wanted to give twenty dollars, but they have an aunt who works in the imperial kitchen, and twenty dollars is a bit too much, so I added ten dollars temporarily. Their family does not need these ten or eight dollars, and if the meal is delicious, it’s no big deal to add a little more money.
Luo Juan rubbed her hands happily, "Sure, sure, I don't even need to pay."
He Wenyan smiled and looked at Wen Xin, "Go to the kitchen and get familiar with it. Then go back and pack up your things. Come back tomorrow."
"Don't wait until tomorrow. I'll ask her to go back and clean up so that I can cook dinner for you in the evening." Luo Juan said with a wide smile.
He Wenyan almost laughed. She had never seen anyone so anxious that she couldn't even wait for half a day. "Okay, Wen Xin, if you're not tired, just pack your things and come over. The room has been cleaned a long time ago. You don't need to bring luggage. Just bring your spare clothes. The bedding is here and they are all clean."
"Okay!" Luo Juan quickly pushed Wen Xin, "Go to the kitchen and have a look. I want to talk to your Aunt He."
Wen Xin was speechless and choked. She was sitting comfortably but was almost pushed off the chair by Luo Juan's strong force. She could only stand up awkwardly and walk towards the kitchen under pressure. She was already thinking about backing out.
It seems that she won’t be staying in the Yan family for long, so she has to think of a way. How can she get the letter of proof? Wait until I find out clearly...
She walked through the hall with a serious look on her face, and she would definitely pass by the sofa on her way to the kitchen.
The radio had been repaired and was placed on the solid wood coffee table, but the person who repaired it did not leave. Instead, he sat there with an expressionless face.
When Wen Xin passed by, she brought with her a faint fragrance, and he looked at her with a cold look.
