Jiang Yun now finally realized that "this is not a dormitory, it is my and Chen Yuanwu's home, my own home."
This is all thanks to Li Caixia, who always calls her your family:
"Teacher Xiao Jiang, the Yangtze River Bridge embroidery on your door curtain is so beautiful!"
"Teacher Xiao Jiang, your family's rice bowl is really white!"
"Teacher Xiao Jiang, your curtains are so beautiful, and they're made of Dacron!"
Li Caixia worked hard to clean the house, from the ceiling to the floor, leaving no corner untouched.
The glass on the window was spotless and transparent, and even the dust accumulated in the cracks of the window frame was brushed clean with an old toothbrush.
Wipe the tables and cabinets, and wipe them thoroughly from top to bottom, left to right, inside and out.
Secretary Nie was shocked when he saw the reflections on the door panels. They were so bright they could even reflect shadows. "Xiao Jiang, I saw your doorway was brightly lit from a distance away! What's going on? You're still busy cleaning up in the middle of the night. Are you planning a wedding?"
I haven’t heard that Staff Officer Chen is coming back to distribute wedding candy!
Jiang Jun was still dazed and not quite sober: "Secretary Nie, is anyone calling?"
They drank some white wine during dinner. Li Caixia kept praising him and no one stopped her. Jiang Jun drank too much and lay on the bed, listening to Li Caixia walking around cleaning. He felt that time had passed in a flash.
Secretary Nie smiled and said, "No one shouted, no one shouted. The soldier on guard said that the people from your family haven't left yet, so I came to ask."
Generally, there is no need to report who has guests in the family compound. However, if there are guests or relatives who want to stay overnight, you must report who is coming, why, and how long they will stay.
Jiang Jun rubbed his forehead, unsure how to introduce her: "This is Li Caixia."
Officer Cui glanced at the newly erected single bed behind Jiang Yun and figured he'd start talking now. "Then you can rest for now. Come to my place tomorrow morning. I'll go talk to the soldiers on guard now."
The shift changes every two hours. If you don't explain the situation, people will focus on this area.
Li Caixia closed the door and asked timidly, "Teacher Xiao Jiang, if I live here, will it cause you any trouble?"
"You're afraid of trouble now that you think about it!" Jiang Jun rolled her eyes. After all, Li Caixia was two years younger than her. "It's troublesome, so let it be. Learn some more skills and find a good job in the future. It will be worth the trouble!"
The most important thing is that Jiang Jun has thought that Li Caixia must marry Jiang Yuan, so that the child born will be her original self.
What she wanted to know more was, when Jiang Yuan’s child, the “little Jiang Jun” from the original time and space, was born again, would her soul go back, or would she have a new soul?
Some answers will naturally emerge when the time comes.
What she needs to do now is to cultivate Li Caixia's parent-child concept. She wants to witness Li Caixia holding her daughter in her hands and coaxing and pampering her...
Jiang Yun's beautiful idea fell through when she went to meet Secretary Nie the next day.
She didn't want Li Caixia to live in her house as a nanny, but she had no choice but to agree.
"As the name suggests, the family compound is only for immediate family members. This is a benefit for active-duty officers," Officer Nie explained patiently. "Li Caixia is not related to you in any way, so it's really difficult to arrange for her to stay long-term! We don't have a precedent for this in our compound. Other families have to hire a nanny to care for the elderly, children, or the sick before they can get approval. Why don't you discuss this with Staff Officer Chen?"
Originally, Staff Officer Chen had received special approval to get a house when he got married. Now, he has a nanny at home before the wedding. How special is the situation!
Jiang Jun had no choice but to go to the office to borrow a phone to call Chen Yuanwu.
Anyone who uses the office phone must register, and anyone who wants to borrow it must apply.
Upon hearing that she was Chen Yuanwu's family member, the office clerk didn't want to leave and insisted on answering the phone first: "Staff Officer Chen, someone's looking for you. Her surname is Jiang. Is she your family member? Okay, I'll call her right away."
Jiang Jun took the phone and half-turned to avoid the monkey-like gaze of the official. "Chen Yuanwu, my grandma needs to come over for leg treatment, so I need to hire a nanny to help take care of her. Can you please submit a report and apply for it today?"
This was an excuse she came up with on the spur of the moment.
Chen Yuanwu's tone was official, cold and brief: "Okay!"
Jiang Yun was really worried that Chen Yuanwu on the other end of the phone would coax her to say a few more words, but when she heard this tone, she felt relieved: "Thank you, I'll go home then."
Hearing "hmm" from the microphone, Jiang Jun hurriedly put down the phone. Well, don't ask about writing letters. There are people watching next to you, so it's really not suitable to act coquettishly.
So Secretary Nie registered Li Caixia's situation as: Li Caixia, female, 16 years old, Han nationality, originally from Decheng, eastern province, living in Luwei Brigade, Zhaozhuang Commune, currently working as a nanny in the home of Staff Officer Chen of our department.
Jiang Jun signed and confirmed it, then went home and explained to Li Caixia with gritted teeth.
Li Caixia's face was filled with smiles, and she was filled with gratitude towards Jiang Jun. As for her status in moving in, she didn't care at all: "Teacher Jiang, I don't feel ashamed at all. Nannies are also human beings. After all, they work with their own strength. Labor is the most glorious thing!"
Compared to going back to my hometown to get married and have children, and then living a life of working hard in the countryside, I can stay in Beijing, in the army, and with Teacher Xiao Jiang, whom Bao Ge admires. The trajectory of my life has changed dramatically, and I can't be happy enough!
The one who was worried was Jiang Yun: "If someone asks, just say you're a relative of ours. Remember, don't say you're here to be a nanny!"
Li Caixia nodded in delight, but she felt uneasy: "What relative should I say? Is she your cousin?"
Jiang Yun was sweating. He would have to explain everything to the Jiang and Chen families one by one. It was too troublesome. No, he couldn't. "Just say you are Captain Chen's cousin!"
Anyway, Chen Yuanwu and Chen Zhenbao both have the surname Chen, so they can just pretend to be distant relatives. As long as Director Nie doesn't tell anyone, no one else will know.
Li Caixia was so satisfied with her new identity and new life that she was full of energy from morning till night, constantly looking for things to do, "Teacher Xiao Jiang, what else do you want me to do?"
Jiang Jun wanted to wear her mother's sweater the most: "Can you knit? When I go to work, you can knit when you're home alone during the day. If you want to learn, I'll come back in the evening and teach you."
Li Caixia was full of confidence: "Knitting a sweater? I can do it!"
It will be horrible!
Jiang Yun compared the yarn balls she wound with those wound by Li Caixia. One was soft like a bun, and the other was hard like a rock. "When winding the yarn, keep it a little loose and don't use too much force. The yarn should be fluffy to have a soft feel."
Li Caixia's idea was simple: "If I wind the ball of yarn tighter, I won't waste yarn when knitting a sweater!"
