Sister Sun did what she said. She got herself ready and walked towards the nearest bus stop.
She wants to find Pei Mingxia, the sister-in-law of the Pei family!
Of course I have to go find her. It was she who instigated me to make things difficult for Lu Nong. Now that she has lost her job, she has to go there and talk to her about it, right?
Pei Mingxia's home was in a building near the University of Foreign Languages, but she was the deputy editor-in-chief of a newspaper. After some hesitation, Sister Sun decided to go to her home to look for her.
As soon as I arrived downstairs of Pei Mingxia's house, I met Song Ye'an who was out throwing away the garbage. He was Pei Mingxia's husband, a senior intellectual, a professor at a foreign language university, and had a bright future. Of course, if not for this, he would not have been able to marry Pei Mingxia.
Song Yeju was surprised to see Sister Sun, "Sister Sun, why are you here at this time?"
Although Sister Sun was arrogant in front of Lu Nong, she changed her attitude immediately when she came to Pei Mingxia and her husband. She said in a flattering tone: "Professor Song, I have something to ask Mingxia. Is she home?"
Song Yeju nodded, "At home."
"Okay, I'll go upstairs to find her first." After saying that, he went upstairs quickly without waiting for Song Yeju.
Song Yeju was left standing there in a fog.
Pei Mingxia was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard the knock on the door, she thought Song Yeju had forgotten to bring his keys. She wiped the water off her hands, walked to the door and opened it. "I'm sorry, your memory is so bad..."
"Sister Sun? Why are you here?"
"Mingxia~ I was chased out by that little vixen Lu Nong!" Sister Sun wailed.
"What!?" Pei Mingxia looked at Sister Sun in shock and hurriedly opened the door to let Sister Sun in. "What's going on?"
Sister Sun had a bitter look on her face, and then she started to complain, "You don't know, ever since that little vixen came in, she has been giving me a cold shoulder every day. Yesterday, the sun was shining brightly, and when I went to wake her up for dinner, she picked up a book and threw it at me..."
"Forget about that. When I went to buy food for lunch today, she insisted on having pig's trotters. I said that it was difficult to make, and she pointed at my nose and scolded me for being a nanny who served others. She was the mistress of the house, and I was nothing."
"How can this be possible!" Pei Mingxia slammed the table with her hand, her face full of anger.
"What about my brother? What about Pei Ji'an? Did he just let Lu chase you out?"
"Well, it's not easy to be the leader. The little vixen won't give in. What can he do?" Sister Sun continued to add fuel to the fire.
"Stupid!" Pei Mingxia was still furious. "I knew that the Lu guy was not a good person. It's only been a few days, and he drove away you, the old man who has taken care of Pei Zheng for more than ten years. My brother is so greedy. I think after a while, Xiao Zheng will have no place to stand in that family."
"At first he insisted on divorcing Sister Yimei, but he didn't get married for more than ten years. I thought he regretted it and was waiting for Sister Yimei, but I didn't expect that Sister Yimei was still waiting. But he married a 10-year-old wife. What did he think of Sister Yimei?"
Pei Mingxia became more and more angry as she spoke, and she actually felt a hidden resentment towards Pei Ji'an.
Sister Sun glanced at Pei Mingxia's face and knew that the matter was settled.
"Mingxia, look at my work..." Sister Sun looked at Pei Mingxia expectantly.
Pei Mingxia patted Sister Sun's hand and said, "Don't worry, they don't want you, but I do. Go to the old lady's house first and help me take care of Song Qian."
Song Qian is the son of Pei Mingxia and Song Yeju. He is three and a half years old this year. As the couple were busy with work, they sent Song Qian to live with Pei Mingxia's mother.
"Oh, that's great!" Sun's mother smiled happily, "I will definitely take good care of Xiaoqian."
…
The dishes cooked by Pei Ji'an were surprisingly delicious, at least better than those cooked by Sister Sun, and Lu Nong accidentally ate a full meal.
After dinner, Lu Nong cleared the dishes and went to wash them. Someone had already prepared the meal, so he should be more conscious about the dishes.
After washing the dishes, Lu Nong planned to go back to the room to take a nap.
I took off my skirt and just pulled my pajamas over my head when I heard the door open.
Lu Nong: ...
silence.
After being stunned for three seconds, Lu Nong put on his pajamas and pajamas as if nothing had happened.
I'm tired, so whatever happens.
"Ahem," Pei Ji'an walked in a few minutes later, coughed lightly, and said in a low and gentle voice, "I have something to tell you."
"Okay, go ahead."
The two of them tacitly ignored the embarrassment just now.
"This is my savings in recent years and this month's salary. Please keep it." Pei Jinan handed over a passbook and a pile of bills.
Lu Nong was stunned, and when he opened it, he saw that there was a total of five thousand yuan, a huge sum of money.
Poor Lu Nong expressed his love.
This was the first time a man gave her money. No wonder all her boyfriends in her previous life loved her so much.
Who doesn't love money?
Her money-obsessed look with sparkling eyes seemed righteous and natural, not only not vulgar but also very cute. Pei Ji'an's eyes flashed with a smile and he turned to raise another question.
"Sister Sun is gone, and you can't cook, so you need to find a new nanny. Do you know anyone?" He asked Lu Nong for her opinion.
Lu Nong was about to say no, but for some reason a person suddenly popped up in his mind: Mother Wu.
Mother Wu was a maid in Uncle Lu Nong's family. She worked for her uncle all her life. After her uncle and his family went abroad, they gave Mother Wu a large sum of money for retirement and also gave their house in China to her to look after.
After the original owner gave birth, it was Mother Wu who helped her with the confinement period.
If Mother Wu is still willing to come to the Pei family, she would be the most suitable candidate.
"…I do have a relative I know," Lu Nong said without making a final decision. "I'll go ask her first to see if she's willing to come. If she's not willing, you can find someone else."
Pei Ji'an agreed.
After he left, Lu Nong didn't take a nap, thinking that he might as well go find Mother Wu right away and go to the hospital to quit his job as a nurse.
The original owner had worked as a nurse for several years, but she saw from a cold eye that the original owner's working environment was really not very good.
Not to mention that there was a second uncle who had been urging the original owner to marry an old man and was watching covetously, there were also a few jealous young nurses in the nursing station who would squeeze and isolate the original owner from time to time.
Besides, nurses have irregular work schedules and often have to work night shifts. Her body is full of loopholes. Perhaps it is because she has been living a reversed day and night life in recent years that she has problems with her metabolism.
When they walked out of the little red building, the old lady next door was watering the flowers in the yard. She looked at Lu Nong a few more times and Lu Nong smiled back politely.
The old lady also nodded.
Lu Nong thinks his neighbors are pretty good. It is always better to have a normal neighbor than a weird one.
In 1963, the country had just ended a great famine, and most people wore simple clothes. But in a place like Beijing, there were always girls who loved beauty and dressed up beautifully, so Lu Nong was not considered to be very unique.
But she was so beautiful, the kind of beauty that glowed just by standing there, especially in the sunlight, so white that it reflected light.
People's eyes are involuntarily attracted to her. Everyone standing next to her will be eclipsed, like the only colorful protagonist walking out of a black and white movie. Everyone else is just a foil and background board, and she is the only one in everyone's eyes.
