Chapter 749: Finding a Nanny. With a good foundation and sufficient experience, he learns faster than young people. In just a few days, he has mastered the new knowledge such as traffic rules, vehicle maintenance, and urban road conditions, and obtained his driver's license smoothly.
When I sat in the cab of the army green truck again and held the brand new steering wheel, I felt both familiar and new.
Uncle Tie started the engine skillfully, and his calm demeanor made Lu Qingyang, who was watching next to him, completely relieved.
"From now on, this job will be handed over to you, Uncle Tie. Don't worry, the salary is not a problem, but there is one thing you must pay attention to: safety."
"Don't worry about that, it's no problem."
Uncle Tie has no other worries, the only thing he is worried about is his granddaughter Jinfeng.
Lu Qingyang directly asked Jinfeng to follow him to the capital and arranged for her to go to school with Xiaoting.
"Uncle Tie, I see you're always thinking about Jinfeng. How about this, we transfer the child to Beijing to study, live with Grandpa, and keep Xiaoting company. They're about the same age, so they can go to school together and look after each other. What do you think?"
Uncle Tie paused while holding the tea bowl. "This... this is so embarrassing..."
Lu Qingyang waved his hand and smiled gently: "What's the trouble? It's just a matter of an extra pair of chopsticks. Xiaoting will be so happy when she knows Jinfeng is coming. It's settled. I'll go make arrangements at the school."
Things were done in a swift and decisive manner.
Not long after, Jin Feng was taken to the capital by Uncle Tie.
Going to Grandpa Shen's courtyard, the little girl was still a little timid. She clutched the corner of her grandfather's clothes tightly, and looked around this bustling city with curiosity and anxiety.
Xiaoting, who had been waiting at the door for a long time after hearing the news, rushed out like a happy little swallow.
"Jinfeng, Jinfeng!" Xiaoting's face turned red with excitement, and her braids were almost loose.
As soon as Jinfeng got off the car and saw her good friend who had been separated from her for many years, her big eyes, which had originally been a little uneasy, were instantly lit up.
The two little girls stretched out their hands almost at the same time and clasped them together tightly. Then, they didn't care about the presence of adults and just held each other's hands and giggled on the spot.
"Xiaoting, I miss you so much."
"I missed you too. Finally you're here."
"The capital is so big!"
"I'll take you out to play in the future, and we'll go to school together."
They chattered non-stop, their little faces filled with pure and bright smiles, and the joy of reunion was almost overflowing.
Xiaoting raised her head and said, "Brother-in-law, I want to sleep with Jinfeng."
"Okay, you two should get along well and not quarrel."
When Xiaoting heard her brother-in-law readily agree, she immediately beamed, her chest puffed out, and she took Jinfeng's hand and announced, "We promise not to quarrel."
Although Jin Feng was still a little shy, she nodded and agreed softly, "Yeah, let's get along well."
Xiaoting cheered and pulled Jinfeng, who was still a little restrained, and ran to the room that had been prepared long ago.
There were two small wooden beds placed side by side in the room, separated by a small bedside table.
As soon as the two children came in, they started to plan which bed would sleep in and whose treasure would be placed in the small cabinet. They chattered so much that it was as lively as if a pair of birds had moved in.
Since then, Uncle Tie has completely taken root in Xinweiju.
There was no burden in my heart, and I felt relaxed all over.
Every day, he gets up before dawn to polish the truck and check the engine oil, water tank, and tire pressure.
놛 drove a truck back and forth between the capital and Liuxi Village, returning every few days. He quickly adapted to this kind of life and even enjoyed it.
Lu Qingyang thought that he should find a helper for the family, who would be responsible for taking care of the food and daily life of the old and two children, so that the old man could relax and enjoy his old age.
He was so busy in his own shop that he couldn't spare the time to look for it carefully, so he entrusted the matter to Ma Hongxia, who was well-informed and had extensive connections.
"Sister-in-law, you have a good eye and know a lot of people. Can you help us find a reliable aunt? I don't have high requirements. She just needs to be honest and hardworking, clean, patient, and most importantly, able to take good care of the elderly and children." Lu Qingyang said sincerely.
When Ma Hongxia heard about this, she immediately patted her chest and promised, "Leave it to me! Qingyang, don't worry, I will definitely find you a reliable and capable person who will make sure that Uncle Shen and the two children are well taken care of!"
After receiving Lu Qingyang's commission, Ma Hongxia immediately entered "headhunting" mode.
I just relied on the connections I had accumulated through buying groceries, chatting, and listening to gossip, and listened quietly.
Today I'll ask Mr. Li who often delivers tofu, and tomorrow I'll try to get close to Ms. Liu from the neighborhood committee. The goal is clear: the person must be honest, quick-witted, clean, and most importantly, patient, able to take care of the elderly and control children.
A few days later, Ma Hongxia mysteriously pulled Lu Qingyang to the backyard and said, "Qingyang, we've found a candidate. His surname is Jiang, and he lives in a building next door. I asked Sister Liu to check him out, and she said he has a good reputation."
"Aunt Jiang used to work in the canteen of a textile factory. Later, when the factory's performance was not good, she went home to take care of her children. Now that her children have grown up, she can't sit still and wants to find something to do to supplement the family income.
Sister Liu said she was an expert at cooking, especially noodles. Her steamed buns were perfectly white and fluffy. She also loved cleanliness, keeping her house like a model apartment. Most importantly, she had a good temper and was very patient. The half-grown children at the factory used to obey her.
After listening to this, Lu Qingyang thought that the conditions were indeed good, so he asked Ma Hongxia to make an appointment to meet.
The meeting place was set in a quiet corner of Xinweiju.
Aunt Jiang arrived as promised. She was about fifty years old, wearing a blue cloth shirt that was washed to a pale color. Her hair was neatly combed and tied into a neat bun at the back of her head.
She had a gentle smile on her face and clear eyes, and she didn't dodge or evade. Although her hands were rough, her nails were neatly trimmed.
Ma Hongxia warmly invited her to sit down and poured her a cup of hot tea.
Aunt Jiang thanked her, took it with both hands, and sat upright, looking like a very particular person.
Lu Qingyang didn't beat around the bush and briefly explained the family situation: an elderly man, two girls in elementary school, and his job was mainly to take care of their daily lives, cook and clean the house.
Aunt Jiang listened attentively, nodding occasionally. "Don't worry, I have experience taking care of the elderly and children. If your family has any dietary restrictions or preferences, please let me know in advance. I will take care of every detail of the house."
In order to observe more intuitively, Lu Qingyang asked Aunt Jiang to show off her skills and help prepare a meal for employees in the store at noon.
Aunt Jiang didn't refuse, put on an apron and went into the kitchen.
She was quick and nimble, kneading dough, cutting vegetables, and cooking in an orderly manner, and she kept the stove spotless.
That day at noon, everyone ate the stir-fried cabbage and hand-rolled noodles made by Aunt Jiang. The cabbage was crispy and tender, and the noodles were chewy. Even Master Chen nodded slightly after tasting it, and said to Lu Qingyang privately: "He has a solid foundation and knows how to make a living."
Lu Qingyang specially brought Aunt Jiang back home. Xiaoting and Jinfeng were a little shy at first when they saw the stranger.
Aunt Jiang was in no hurry to get close to them. She just smiled and took out two small animals made of colored paper from her pocket and handed them to the two of them.
Xiaoting's is a crane and Jinfeng's is a rabbit, both of them are lifelike.
"Oh, Aunt Jiang, you have this skill!" Ma Hongxia said in surprise.
Aunt Jiang smiled sheepishly and said, "I had nothing better to do, so I learned this from the old lady next door to entertain the kids."
This immediately brought her closer to the children.
