Fall in a second

With excitement, Lu Ming clicked on the voice, and it turned out...

There was nothing, only some noises, most of them were quiet, what was the situation, when she looked again, the other party had already withdrawn the message.

Just about to ask what's wrong, Aunt Ji sent her another message.

Ji Youqing: Sorry, I accidentally clicked on the voice just now.

Lu Ming: It's okay, it's okay, Aunt Ji doesn't need to apologize to me.

Ji Youqing: It's very late, go to bed early, it's not good to stay up late.

Lu Ming: Aunt Ji also went to bed earlier!

Ji Youqing: Well, ready to sleep.

After sending this message, Ji Youqing reached out and turned off the bedside lamp, and put the mobile phone on the bedside table. Just as she lay down, the mobile phone rang, and she couldn't help picking it up to check it. Lu Ming sent her a good night.

She didn't intend to reply, she was about to put it down, but after hesitating, she still replied good night to her.

Ji Jingning hasn't fallen asleep yet, and the pain will become more and more obvious every night. Even after taking a lot of painkillers, it still feels like scratching the boots, and it doesn't have much effect. It's too strict. I don't know if she will blame herself, but if she doesn't do that, she will feel even more uneasy when she leaves. In the rest of the time, Ji Jingning wants to do more things for herself. , for my sister, for the Ji family.

Yan Chu didn't sleep comfortably in the youth hostel that night, because there were six people in one room, and people would always wake up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and the sound of the toilet was extremely noisy. In the middle of the night, there was still a sound from the corridor outside, the sound of someone just coming back.

She fell asleep on the upper bunk, didn't dare to move around, even turned over gently, a girl living in the lower bunk had big arms, and her eyes were fierce, maybe it was the first impression that was preconceived, Yan Chu felt that she was a People who are not easy to get along with don't want to cause trouble for themselves, anyway, they only stay for one night, and she will leave at dawn.

At two o'clock in the morning, she hadn't fallen asleep yet. Even though she was already feeling exhausted, Yan Chu remembered that the place where she was going to interview was far away in the suburbs, and it would take a long, long time in the car. With dark circles under her eyes, she is not in a good state of mind, so she won't be chosen, no matter what, she must get that job.

The interview time is ten o'clock in the morning.

Yan Chu looked at the distance. It takes about three hours to start from the youth hostel, take the subway and then transfer to the bus, which is much longer than going to the train station, which means that she has to get up at six o'clock and dawdle She didn't fall asleep until after three o'clock. After sleeping for three hours, she got up in a daze after being woken up by the alarm clock.

Because of her premature alarm clock, other people in the hostel room expressed their dissatisfaction with her, and it was an adult dissatisfaction, which was quite rude.

"Which stupid alarm clock, can you turn it off!"

"I'm sick, it's early in the morning, so don't let people sleep."

"Fuck!"

"..."

Yan Chu was extremely apologetic, and quickly turned it off, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and I took a profound lesson as soon as I went out. The world of adults is no longer as beautiful and simple as the time when I was studying. Everyone is a stranger, and no one will be polite to you.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he dragged his suitcase and checked out of the room. It was [-]:[-] in the morning. Yan Chu was standing on the side of the street waiting to cross the road. The city had just been awakened. There were not too many pedestrians on the road, and the cleaners were cleaning Walking along the road, and walked another hundred meters to the opposite side, there was a subway entrance. Fortunately, I took a ride with Ah Ming yesterday, and Yan Chu could take the subway by himself today. Chu was lucky enough to get a seat. After seven o'clock, the subway was full of people.

She sent a message to Ah Ming to inform her that she had already set off.

When receiving the news from Ah Chu, Lu Ming had just woken up, because she went to bed late last night, she still didn't feel sober, she closed her eyes and wanted to stay in bed for a while, thinking that the two aunts hadn't eaten breakfast yet, Lu Ming Ming lost his sleepiness in an instant.

After getting up and folding the quilt, Lu Ming habitually tidied up the bed and washed up quickly. She came to the living room of Aunt Jingning's house, and the surroundings were quiet. They must be still sleeping, so they could just cook something to eat.

When he came to the kitchen, Lu Ming tied an apron on himself, and began to choose recipes in his mind, what to do well, and start preparing ingredients to cook after thinking about it.

I stayed alone in the kitchen without realizing how much time had passed, until a voice came from behind: "It smells so good, what are you doing?"

"Congee." Lu Ming looked back and saw someone calling hurriedly: "Morning, Aunt Jingning."

"You are so diligent. I was thinking about ordering takeaway in the morning, but you are already doing it."

"It will be ready to eat soon." Lu Ming said.

"Okay, I'll go see if Yuqing is up."

Just as Ji Jingning was about to find Ji Youqing, she had already opened the door and came out of the room.

"sister."

"How are you, looking a little weak."

"It's okay, it will be like this after sleeping." Ji Youqing replied, and then asked: "Is Lu Ming cooking?"

"Yes." Ji Jingning smiled happily: "He is really a good boy, hardworking and considerate, you are very blessed."

Ji Youqing slightly turned his face away and did not speak.

During breakfast, the three of them sat at the same table, and Lu Ming took the initiative to serve the porridge she cooked for the two aunts. She also fried some egg pancakes, vegetable pancakes, and prepared some side dishes.

Ji Jingning couldn't stop praising her, her words were full of love, but Ji Youqing kept calm on purpose, showing no great joy, and said to Lu Ming: "Thank you for your breakfast."

"Well, it's not bad." Ji Jingning commented, and then asked Lu Ming: "Are there any arrangements for the National Day holiday?"

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Aunt Ji, and replied: "There are no arrangements yet."

"That's just right. I signed up for a five-day group tour in Thailand. Let's go relax together during this holiday." Ji Jingning said bluntly, there was no discussion at all in advance, and the result was announced directly to the notice.

"Group tour?" Ji Youqing was puzzled.

"It's like this. I was too lazy to plan the route by myself, so I signed up for a tour group to save trouble, but you can choose not to join the tour group after arriving at the destination. It will depend on the situation." Ji Jingning asked Lu Ming after finishing speaking: "What's Lu Ming's opinion? ?"

Lu Ming quickly shook her head: "No objection." How dare she have any objection, but she was a little surprised, and going to Thailand, is she going abroad?She has never been abroad since she grew up.

"Do you have to go?" Ji Youqing hesitated.

Lu Ming quietly looked at Aunt Ji at the side, she didn't seem to want to go, but in fact she really wanted to travel with Aunt Ji, it should be a very good memory.

"Just treat it as satisfying me?" Ji Jingning said.

"...Okay." Ji Youqing agreed.

At this time, Yan Chu had already sat on the subway for two hours, and there was a bus station not far from the subway station. As the destination approached, her palms began to sweat involuntarily.

It was around [-]:[-] when Yan Chu arrived at her destination. After getting off the bus, the villa complex opposite her was her destination for this trip.

Raising his hands to straighten out his clothes and hairstyle, Yan Chu strode over dragging his suitcase.

Meng Xiaofei was very speechless, quite speechless. Her mother-in-law came over very early today, carrying a lot of things bought from the supermarket, and forced her to wake up from the bed, asking her to change clothes and get ready. Today The interview nannies are coming.

Meng Xiaofei:! ! !

After being told about this matter directly, she had no choice and no room to retreat, so she had to do it honestly, although it was too late to say that she didn't need a nanny to take care of herself at this juncture, her mother-in-law would not give up easily.

But now, Meng Xiaofei is sitting in the lobby of the living room on the first floor, waiting on the side of the sofa, and her mother-in-law is sitting in the center like a hostess, with one leg crossed and a black tea in her hand. There are three nannies, some look a little older, about 50, some are in their 30s, they look nimble, and there is a [-]-year-old who is said to be a gold medal nannie.

As for why the interview hasn't started yet, I heard that there is still one person who hasn't arrived, and it won't start until everyone is here.

Meng Xiaofei sat bored, anyway, it was her mother-in-law who made the final decision, and it didn't matter if she was here or not, even if she offered advice, it would probably be useless.

Zhang Lan took another sip of tea, glanced at the time, and said, "Wait another 2 minutes, let's start if you don't come, don't wait."

As soon as the words fell, there was the sound of a suitcase rolling on the ground from the yard outside. The people in the house all looked out curiously when they heard the sound. At the door, he walked in alone.

"I'm very sorry, I'm late." Yan Chu said.

Zhang Lan let out a sound through her nose, and withdrew her eyes in displeasure, and said in a sly tone: "I was late on the first day, little girl, I don't think you have any sincerity in doing this job."

"No, no." Yan Chu waved his hands and hurriedly explained: "I set off at six o'clock in the morning, but because of the long distance, I was slow."

"You mean our house is remote?" Zhang Lan was even angrier.

Yan Chu really didn't mean that, she just wanted to say that she didn't arrive so late on purpose, because the bus was only available after 06:30 at the earliest, and she was already the first to leave.

Meng Xiaofei couldn't stand it anymore, she knew her mother-in-law's temper, she just likes to make things difficult, so she couldn't help but said: "Mom, forget it, I'm not late anyway, isn't it a few minutes until ten o'clock."

"For the sake of my daughter-in-law helping you talk, I don't care about you." Zhang Lan pretended to be forgiving and forgiving.

Just as Meng Xiaofei was about to say something, Zhang Lan spoke again and directly forced her back.

"Okay, let's start the interview. First of all, I have to clarify a few points of my requirements. First, I have to get up at seven o'clock every morning, make breakfast for my daughter-in-law at eight o'clock, do laundry, clean the house, and do grocery shopping. These are all your jobs. You have to have lunch on time at twelve o'clock in the noon, and dinner on time at six o'clock in the afternoon. If my daughter-in-law is hungry, I will have a supper in the evening. This job will be very tiring, I hope you I can think clearly, of course, I am not such a stingy person, the monthly salary is [-] for the first three months, and it can be raised to [-] after three months, and I will give you [-] a month to take care of my daughter-in-law and grandson after childbirth. Provide board and lodging, and reimbursement of various living expenses."

After Zhang Lan finished speaking, several qualified nannies were moved. Twelve thousand is not low in the nannies circle in S City, let alone living in such a big villa, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, and the sea not far away. She is willing to work in a place where she can work, even if it is a little tiring. Besides, the requirements she mentioned are what a nanny should do.

"Starting with you, introduce yourself to me one by one. It's best to impress me and let me see your sincerity." Zhang Lan pointed to Yan Chu who was standing on the far left.

Yan Chu was startled and began to get nervous.

"I, my name is Yan Chu." This feeling is very similar to standing up in front of the whole class to answer the teacher's questions when he was in school. There is no one thing that Yan Chu fears the most.

"This year, I come from a small mountain village. I can cook, wash clothes, and do all kinds of dirty work."

Meng Xiaofei looked at this girl, her skin was a little dark, a healthy wheat color, her long black hair was simply tied into a ponytail, revealing a smooth forehead, her plain face was without makeup, her eyebrows were thick and natural, and her double eyelids were normal. She was a girl with good features , It’s just that I’m too young, I just graduated from high school, why didn’t I go to college, why did I want to be a nanny?All of a sudden, Meng Xiaofei's curiosity was aroused.

"? Have you had any experience?" Zhang Lan expressed doubts.

"Although I have no work experience, I am young and have a lot of strength. I will definitely be able to do well."

Yan Chu's unintentional words stung an old nanny next to him, and perhaps touched the interests of others, and the middle-aged woman was immediately dissatisfied with her: "Little girl, what you mean is that we are old and powerful Not as good as you?"

"That is, whatever you say, don't say it if you can't say it." Another nanny echoed.

This made Yan Chu's face a little embarrassed for a while, she stood there, one hand tightly pinching the back of the other hand, her heart was beating non-stop, and she said the wrong thing again.

And this detail was all taken into consideration by Meng Xiaofei. Although she had no objection to what kind of nanny to use, she couldn't bear the sight of the few qualified nanny who joined together to teach this little girl just now, just like when they were in school. Some girls group together and bully another girl in isolation, which makes Meng Xiaofei can't help but want to protect this girl named Yan Chu from the countryside.

"Whether you can do it or not, I'll know when I do it later, the next one." Zhang Lan said.

"My name is Wang Meilan. I am 41 years old. I have been a nanny for ten years. I have also passed the confinement certificate. I believe I can take care of my sister's confinement."

"En!" Zhang Lan nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Next."

"My name is Li Guifang, I am 55 years old, and I have been in the nanny industry for 25 years." After finishing speaking, the woman glanced at the confident gold medal nanny just now, indicating that she had been in the industry for a longer time, and then said: "I With rich work experience, I must be the right choice, and I will definitely take good care of your daughter-in-law and grandson."

"Yeah!" Zhang Lan nodded in satisfaction again, and shifted her gaze to the last nanny, "It's your turn."

"My name is Chen Ju. I am 33 years old. In fact, I am also a mother. My daughter goes to school here. I come to work as a nanny to pay the high tuition fees here in S City. I am the same age as your daughter-in-law. I believe we can get along well." Come."

"Xiaofei, do you have any comments?" Zhang Lan asked.

Meng Xiaofei was about to answer, but was interrupted by Zhang Lan: "I'll let them demonstrate their cooking skills, and then we'll make the final choice."

Meng Xiaofei smiled awkwardly: "Okay."

Zhang Lan stood up with a dignified expression, "I'll take you to the kitchen."

At this time, Yan Chu boldly asked out the doubts in his heart: "Hi, I would like to ask, what kind of food does this aunt usually like to eat?"

Zhang Lan glared at her, and said sternly: "You don't care what taste you eat, you'll know when you make it." After speaking, she strode forward.

Yan Chu had no choice but to shut up and follow behind obediently, wondering if all rich people have such a temper, forget it, who makes the salary higher, she must work hard to get this job.

At this moment, Meng Xiaofei secretly followed and called Yan Chu in a low voice: "Little girl, little girl."

Yan Chu turned around curiously when he heard the voice, Meng Xiaofei stepped forward and whispered to her: "It's fine if you don't make spicy food, we are not used to spicy food."

Yan Chu was very surprised, and was very grateful in his heart, nodded quickly: "I see!"

"Well, let's go, come on." Meng Xiaofei waved.

In fact, Meng Xiaofei didn't deliberately favor anyone, and she didn't choose Yan Chu just because she was young. Everything still depends on their respective abilities. At present, the choice in her heart is Chen Ju and Yan Chu, that is, that Yan Chu. There is also a little girl who is about the same age as her. I don't know why, because the self-introduction just now has ruined her impression of the other two "senior" nannies. I feel that they will be difficult to get along with. She has a fierce and naughty personality. Meng Xiaofei doesn't really want to live with such a person for more than a year. She is prone to mood swings during pregnancy. When the time comes, she will be autistic if she is affected by the nanny.

Zhang Lan went into the kitchen, said something, and came out. Seeing Meng Xiaofei still standing there clearing the table, she couldn't help pointing: "Oh, you, don't do these things when you are pregnant, let the nanny do it."

"Mom, it's just a little thing, I can do it myself."

"Whether you listen or not, I can't forgive you for hurting my grandson." Zhang Lan said.

Meng Xiaofei was a little embarrassed, but instead smiled and said, "Okay, I'll sit over there."

"That's the way to be good, and she's my good daughter-in-law." Zhang Lan's attitude immediately became kind. "The four of them will cook a dish later. You have to be fair and point out which dish you like."

Meng Xiaofei nodded.

Because he didn't know how to use a modern stove, Yan Chu immediately got the upper hand, and was pushed away by the senior nanny who arrived later and said: "If you don't know how to do it, let it go, don't waste other people's time."

Because there were only two stoves, four people had to cook in two batches. Chen Ju, who was still cutting and preparing vegetables, kindly explained to Yan Chu how to use the gas ignition stove.She is really a mountain cannon into the city, and she was looked down upon from the beginning.

But she was still very grateful to the other party in her heart, and helped cut the garlic and green onions.

"How could you think of being a nanny at such a young age?" Chen Ju spoke to her curiously.

"My family's conditions are not good, and I didn't get into a good university. If I want to earn money, the nanny's salary seems to be higher." Yan Chu smiled bluntly.

"However, high wages also mean more hard work. You heard what the old lady outside said just now. You have to start work at seven o'clock in the morning. If you have to prepare supper at night, you have to work for more than ten hours a day. Can your body handle it?"

"Yes!" Yan Chu patted his chest very confidently, "When I was in my hometown, I often went to work in the field with my mother, often working for a whole day, it's no problem."

Chen Ju was very surprised when she heard that, she didn't expect that she would do so many things with her mere talent.

Just when the two of them had a good chat, the 40-year-old gold medal nanny said sourly: "Everyone is a competitor. If you teach her, you will lose your job, silly."

"It's okay, don't worry about it." Chen Ju patted Yan Chu's shoulder to comfort him.

This aunt is really nice, and most of them are good people.

The dishes of the two older nannies had already been cooked and brought out, followed by Chen Ju and Yan Chu.

In order to keep the dishes from getting cold, Zhang Lan called Meng Xiaofei to taste them first and give her opinions.

Zhang Lan took the chopsticks and tasted it first, then nodded and said: "Well, it's not bad, it's not meaty and refreshing, and it's not greasy when fried with lard. Xiaofei, try it."

Meng Xiaofei smelled it very fragrant, thinking it was really as delicious as her mother-in-law said, so she took a sip with the attitude of giving it a try, a feeling of nausea flooded her, but she still forced herself to swallow it.

Zhang Lan saw that her complexion was not very good, and asked, "What's the matter, do you not like it?"

"I can't say, I don't like it very much." Meng Xiaofei put down his chopsticks.

"There's no reason. I've cooked food for my employer for so many years. My employer likes it very much. There's no reason why it shouldn't be delicious." After speaking, the stubborn golden nanny picked up chopsticks and tasted it herself to verify, " Really delicious."

In fact, Zhang Lan also thinks it's okay, but her daughter-in-law thinks it's not good and has nothing to do. Compared with pregnant women's tastes, it's easy to become tricky.

Being passed away like this, the two qualified nannies were quite upset. They didn't leave immediately, but wanted to wait and see how delicious the other two's cooking was.

Chen Ju and Yan Chu also came out with prepared dishes, and Zhang Lan was the first to try them first. Her evaluation was that Chen Ju's dishes tasted better than Yan Chu's. Of course, it contained her own prejudice. I think this girl is too young to take care of her daughter-in-law well.

Next was Meng Xiaofei's tasting. Chen Ju's dishes didn't taste as disgusting as the previous two dishes, but I couldn't say what was good about them. She thought of her mother and her childhood.

"How about it, which dish do you like?" Zhang Lan asked her patiently and gently.

Meng Xiaofei put down the chopsticks, and at this time Yan Chu's heart began to fluttering and fluttering. She felt that she was going out. Just now her wife had made a choice, saying that she was not delicious for Aunt Chen.

"This one, I like it." Meng Xiaofei pointed out that the dish happened to be made by Yan Chu.

All the people present were astonished and unbelievable. The two senior nannies also picked up chopsticks and tasted Yan Chu's dishes with disdain.

"The taste is very ordinary, just ordinary home cooking."

"To be honest, I don't think this dish wins."

Even Zhang Lan folded her arms and said in a suspicious tone, "Xiao Fei, you should stop thinking about it."

Meng Xiaofei shook his head, and refuted what the two nannies said just now: "Yes, this is a very simple home-cooked dish, but I like it very much. Isn't it also a kind of ability to be able to make home-cooked dishes taste like home? ?”

If at first Meng Xiaofei was hesitant about who to choose between Chen Ju and Yan Chu, now she has a definite answer, she likes Yan Chu's cooking, if she can eat it every day in the next year or so, Not bad.

"This girl is too young, I don't like it." Zhang Lan directly expressed her thoughts, and secretly put pressure on Meng Xiaofei.

Meng Xiaofei is not the kind of person who listens to her mother-in-law, and immediately said: "Mom, since you said to give me all the rights today, you will definitely keep your word, right? I don't think age is a problem. The key lies in good character, ability, and willingness to endure hardship.”

After finishing speaking, Meng Xiaofei looked at Yan Chu: "You have been hired."

Yan Chu dilated his pupils, completely unexpected.
