Unlike our hometown, just stir-fry and stew.

But cooking in the city requires both color and flavor.

Not only is it delicious, but it also needs to look good and be nutritious.

So during the training, my main job was to memorize the recipes.

Occasionally I watch the news.

One of them is that the provincial city patrol cracked a case of abduction and trafficking of a very large population.

More than 30 suspects were arrested.

When the reporter reported, he emphasized one point in particular, saying that the reason why the case was solved so quickly was because Zhao, an intermediary in the provincial capital, volunteered to be a tainted witness.

He confessed all the details of the gang.

It is said that it is so positive because Zhao's daughter-in-law was also taken away by that gang.

Looking at it this way, I stuffed Mr. Zhao's daughter-in-law into the cabin, intending to take revenge on Mr. Zhao.

I would even think that this would affect the process of solving the case, but I didn't know that objectively, it played a role in speeding up the solving of the case, but I didn't expect it.

But until the gang was all caught, Zhao's daughter-in-law was not found.

It is said that the boss of the gang sold his daughter-in-law thousands of miles away in retaliation for Zhao's betrayal.

......

I didn't know until much later about the follow-up to this incident.

After half a year, the patrol rescued Mr. Zhao's daughter-in-law, who had been tortured to the point of being inhuman, from a village in the southwest frontier.

But after being rescued, after letting Mr. Zhao's daughter-in-law recuperate for a while, she was still sent to prison.

Because although she is a victim, she is also a party to the case, and she must also be punished by the law.

But their story is not over yet.

Five years later, Mr. Zhao and his daughter-in-law were released from prison one after another.

On the first day of being released from prison, many people thought that Mr. Zhao's daughter-in-law would divorce Mr. Zhao.

After all, she was so miserable later, she was cheated by this Mr. Zhao.

But unexpectedly, Mr. Zhao's daughter-in-law was very gentle to Mr. Zhao, and even met in a hotel.

The show is coming, it turns out that Mr. Zhao's daughter-in-law doesn't want to divorce, but thinks that such a divorce is too cheap Mr. Zhao.

So Mr. Zhao, who thought he was reliving his old dream, was tied up by his daughter-in-law and beaten violently.

Then, Mr. Zhao's daughter-in-law still didn't understand her hatred, and directly used scissors to cut off Mr. Zhao's roots.

This matter is in the social news again.

......

"Change your shoes!"

The female employer, Zhu Dan, had a cold face, she hugged her shoulders, stood in the center of the living room, and looked at me condescendingly.

I'm not short among girls, I'm tall.

But this female employer is also very tall and wears a pair of very high heels, so standing in front of me in flat sneakers, it looks very imposing.

I looked up at the female employer introduced by the housekeeping company.

It's hard to see the age of the women in the city.

It should be around 30 years old.

It can only be said that it looks okay, but whether it is clothes, jewelry, or the layout of this house, it can be seen that although this family is not rich, it is definitely a family with a high quality of life in the city.

It's just that her eyebrows are always raised upward, her lips are thin, and there is always a contempt in her eyes, which makes people very uncomfortable.

I have some belief in each other.

This Zhu Dan looks mean and difficult.

......

In the morning, while I was still attending the training, I was called back to the company, saying that an employer had come to pick someone.

The rules of this housekeeping company are like this, whenever an employer comes to pick a nanny, it will recommend five or six nanny candidates according to the conditions, and stand in a row for the employer to choose.

So I went with a few other nannies to accept the selection.

In the end, I was chosen by Zhu Dan, who was difficult to get along with at first glance.

To be honest, I was a little reluctant.

I don't want to be my first employer, I'm a picky person.

But I can't help it.

Because it is clearly written in the regulations of the housekeeping company, the nanny can only be chosen, but not the right to choose.

In other words, people can say no to you, but you can't say no to others.

Isn't that unreasonable?

But it can't be helped, because you're a nanny, so you don't have much autonomy.

The only exception is that if the employer is a single man, then a nanny under the age of 50 cannot be selected.

It's a pity that Zhu Dan is a woman.

So although I was reluctant, I could only follow Zhu Dan to her house.

A very modern residential area with 21 floors.

The area is not very large, only about 90 square meters.

When I took the elevator up, Zhu Dan seemed indifferent, but he told me with great pride: "The house here, with an average of 50,000 square meters, is estimated to rise to 60,000 square meters next year, do you know what this concept is?"

Didn't wait for me to answer.

Zhu Dan was already hugging his shoulders and smiling: "That is, you can't afford it for the rest of your life, so you don't have to care about the changes in housing prices in the provincial capital at all, so you are also very happy, right?"

I don't know how to answer.

I can only look down at my toes, and the simple luggage at hand.

But I'm not angry.

Because I read a very reasonable quote in the newspaper that anger is anger at one's own incompetence.

In other words, it doesn't do anything for you to be angry when you can't do anything about it.

For example, I don't want to talk about buying a house in a provincial city with an average price of 50,000 yuan.

I even feel distressed when I rent a house for 500 a month.

Therefore, although what Zhu Dan said is ugly, it is an indisputable fact.

It's the real big truth.

Why should I be angry?

I just use this as motivation to push me forward.

......

"Got it. ”

I put my luggage aside and pulled out a pair of blue slippers from my bag.

How do you know that Zhu Dan frowned.

"What is this? Ten dollars and three pairs of stalls? You don't dislike and shame people in your clothes, if outsiders come to my house and see it, they will make fun of my taste. It's not just taste, this rotten plastic material, it smells very bad when you wear it for a few days, it's like poisoning, you don't want to pit me. ”

After saying that, Zhu Dan took out a pair of black slippers from the shoe cabinet and threw them in front of me.

I silently put the blue slippers back in my bag.

In fact, I really want to tell Zhu Dan that this pair of slippers is not ten yuan and three pairs.

Rather, it was four pairs for ten yuan, and a pair of socks were also given.

But I held back.

Because at the time of training, the teacher told us to remember when being a nanny.

See more, do more, talk less.

Don't seem too clever, don't look sharp.

In addition to work, you should reduce your presence as much as possible.

In this way, it is easy to satisfy the employer.

These are all good words and experiences.

So I came here, in addition to pretending to be ugly, but also to hide clumsy.

......

"You'll live here from now on. ”

Zhu Dan pointed to a place.

Strictly speaking, this is not a room.

Although Zhu Dan's house is not very large, it is also a three-bedroom apartment.

A master bedroom, a second bedroom, and a small study.

And where the kitchen connects with the side bedroom, there is a narrow aisle.

Even though I'm not an architect, I can see that this design is very unreasonable.

Because this aisle is a waste of space, but it has no practical meaning.

Now Zhu Dan uses it out of meaning.

She made a camp bed and put it inside, then drew a curtain on the outside of the aisle to cut off a small space for me.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Dan looked into my eyes.

I guess I'm not happy with this arrangement?

After all, as far as I know, they are only husband and wife, and they have no children.

So there are three rooms in the house, so you should give me one anyway, right?

Zhu Dan should have already thought about how she would reply once I gave my opinion.

But I have no objection.

Because I'm here to work, I'm here to earn money, I'm not here to be happy.

I've slept on a bench in the park, I've slept curled up on a chair in an internet café, I've slept in a restaurant storeroom with eggplant and cabbage.

So now let me sleep here, no problem at all.

Seeing that I looked honest and dutiful, Zhu Dan seemed very satisfied.

"Clean up, remember not to mess up other places, and when you're done, I'll tell you the rules. ”

With that, she went back to her room.

......

Half an hour later, I was done.

Zhu Dan also walked out of the master bedroom.

She took off her previous clothes and changed into a lounge dress.

sat down on the couch.

I stood in front of Zhu Dan in an orderly manner.

"Do you know the rules?"

"I understand, the company has explained. I replied.

Still with the accent of home.

Before each nanny takes up her post, she will have a handbook issued by the company.

There are very detailed rules in it.

There are requirements for food, clothing, housing and transportation at the employer's home.

"No, that's just the rules of your company, and now I'm going to talk about the rules of my house. ”

Zhu Dan shook his finger lightly, his face was unfathomable.

"Before I talk about the rules of my house, let me say two things. First, you are already the fourth nanny I hired this year, and the first three worked for three days and a month for the long, and I returned them because they all broke my rules. Zhu Dan came up and proved with practical examples that she is indeed a difficult woman.

"But you don't have to be nervous, although I am a person with high requirements for people, I am a civilized person, and I have quality. I will never beat and scold your nanny, nor will I deduct you from eating and drinking, what kind of thing to give you spoiled food, I Zhu Dan can't do it. ”

Zhu Dan continued.

I nodded.

As long as you don't insult me.

I'm here to sell coolies, but I'm not here to sell my self-esteem.

If you really make me Qiao Huanxi anxious, I don't mind showing you what it means for a dog to jump over a wall in a hurry, and a rabbit to bite when a person is in a hurry.

"The second thing, Qiao Huanxi, do you know why I chose you, why did I choose you as a little girl who has never been a nanny before?" Zhu Dan asked.

I shook my head.

I really don't know.

Of the babysitters available, I was the least qualified.

None of this is accurate.

To be exact, I don't have any qualifications.

I haven't worked as a babysitter for a day.

The rest of them, the most of them, have been working for more than half a year.

Then why did Zhu Dan choose me?

"Because I have found that although you nannies are all from small places, as long as you stay in the big city for a long time, you will become vassally elegant, and you will begin to deliberately imitate the words and actions of the people in the city in your speech and demeanor. For example, the first nanny I fired actually bought an identical dress with me? Who is this Hanqi? I quit her at that time, and I threw away the dress!

It should have been a long time since this incident, but at this time, Zhu Dan still looked very angry when he brought it up.

It can be seen that this incident really made Zhu Dan very angry at that time.

I silently thought about the clothes I had brought, and made sure again that they were all dirty and vulgar clothes.

It shouldn't be the type that Zhu Dan likes.

The good clothes that Sister Yang Mei gave me, and some things that I can't use for the time being, are all in the housekeeping company.

The housekeeping company will not provide us with accommodation, but there is a place where we can store things temporarily.

I can't help but feel relieved.

Zhu Dan continued: "Also, people say that you country girls are simple and have no scheming, I don't think that's necessarily, maybe it was good when you first entered the city, but after staying in the city for a long time, you began to become lazy and greedy, and you have a problem." When the employer turns his head, he watches TV, eats melon seeds, surfs the Internet, plays with his mobile phone, and tries all kinds of ways to fool around with it, but he is not active in his work, but he is active in asking for a salary increase! Therefore, when I choose a nanny again, my criterion is not to find the kind of old oilman who has worked in the city for several years, I have to find a newcomer, a new person, at least know the duty. Do you know why I chose you now?"

I get it.

It turned out that I was chosen because I was a newbie.

"So you should thank me for giving you a chance, otherwise others won't want you with your qualifications. Zhu Dan continued.

"Thank you, ma'am. ”

I nodded sincerely.

Although I don't agree with Zhu Dan's theory, what she said makes sense.

With my qualifications, I was able to get a formal job before even the training was over, thanks to Zhu Dan's pickiness and her wonderful selection concept.

"Thank you is not to be said with words, but with your actual actions. Although you are a newcomer, I have not relaxed my requirements for you, and it is not okay to work slowly. Also, don't call me wife, they call me old. Zhu Dan corrected my salutation.

"Then I call you Sister Zhu?" I asked tentatively.

"Look at your uneducated appearance, call Sister Dan!" Zhu Dan looked quite helpless.

"Okay, Sister Dan. ”

"Very well, then let's start talking about my rules officially. ”

Zhu Dan began to talk about her rules.

"I won't repeat the rules in your company manual, you have to follow them. ”

"In addition, there are a few more things to remember. ”

"What about the first, now that you have entered my house, you will be half of my family. But what I care about most is personal privacy, so I will never allow you to bring outsiders here, especially when I am not at home, and no outsiders can enter, do you understand? If I know that you have brought some inappropriate people home, then you will leave me immediately, and I will still complain about you, understand?" Zhu Dan said.

"I see. ”

This is not difficult for me, because I don't have many friends in the provincial capital.

"Now for the second point, in this community, many families have nannies. I watched from the sidelines and found that these nannies often go out to buy groceries together, and you must not know that? You can't have more contact with those nannies, you have to be alone. Zhu Dan continued.

I'm a little puzzled.

Not sure why.

As if seeing my doubts, Zhu Dan smiled slightly: "Don't you understand, do you? Actually, it's very simple, because you nannies get together, what can you say? It is impossible to expect you to say good things about your employer, what you say is nothing more than whose salary is high, whose food is good, whose employer is easy to bully, whose employer is so foolish, how lazy and lazy you are not discovered, and how to make unreasonable demands on your employer. In short, there will be no good things, even if there are honest friends, they will be spoiled by others. So the best thing to do is to keep your distance, especially you Qiao Huanxi, you are a newcomer, you have to keep your simplicity, you can't go with the same stream, you know?"

To be honest, such a request is a bit excessive.

Nannies are also human beings, do you still have to be restricted from making friends?

Your request is suitable for finding a robot.

But I'm not a person who likes to be lively, and for the sake of money, I put up with it.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Before the third point, Zhu Dan asked me a question.

"I didn't. I replied neatly.

I really don't have a boyfriend.

And I'm not lying.

Because you didn't ask me about my marriage history.

"Good. Zhu Dan nodded with satisfaction.

"That's my third point. If you are not in a relationship yet, then during this time of working in my house, I hope you are better off not being in love. If you already have a boyfriend, then I hope that during this time, it is best for you not to contact. If you want to connect, you have to take a break, you know? Because if you fall in love, it will not only affect your work efficiency, but also your mood. You must know that little girls like you don't understand anything about feelings, and often suffer from gains and losses, crying and fussing, and even looking for death and life because of trivial things, and they are easy to fall for men and be deceived by scumbags. I don't want you to fall out of love and do something rude in my house one day and get me into such trouble. What's more, if your belly is enlarged by a man again, won't I be more passive? Because according to the labor law, pregnant women cannot be dismissed, and you say that you will serve us at that time? Or will we serve you? Do we pay you to give you a baby?"

After listening to Zhu Dan, I was really surprised that she thought so far.

I even thought that a pregnant woman could not be fired.

Is this a last resort?

"Sister Dan, don't worry, I'm still young and have no plans to fall in love for the time being, so I definitely won't cause you such trouble. "I'm serious.
