February is over.

Just entered March, Li Yang didn't have time to send the tweed coat outside to the laundry room for water, and a pouring spring rain immediately pulled the temperature back to around the Spring Festival.

Go out in the morning.

The big girls and young men on the street were all wrapped like zongzi, and they only saw two eyes and no chin.

Pulling out the leather warm shoes stuffed back into the closet, Li Yang also felt heartwarming.

The eldest Li Ping lives a happy two-person world with Cao Fang in the south, but he, as a little uncle, has to get up early every day with small things.

Fortunately, the temporary workers hired by Li Fenghe have finally been found.

This morning.

Li Yang finished a meeting in the company and was about to talk to the personnel department about personnel recruitment in the first half of the year, when Li Fenghe called him and said that the aunt he invited last time came over today and asked him to go back and meet with someone.

Thinking that he had a heartwarming time during this time, Li Yang postponed the afternoon work meeting without saying a word and drove home directly.

Wait for Li Fenghe to bring someone over.

Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've brought it to you, so it's up to you to see if it's suitable. ”

Entered the house.

Li Fenghe pulled him aside and whispered.

Li Yang raised his eyes and glanced at the woman sitting in the living room, and he couldn't tell whether it was suitable or not, after all, he had just met for the first time.

Xia Aizhen's age is actually not too old, less than fifty, she doesn't look good-looking, but she looks honest, with a pair of Danfeng eyes, a thick waist plate, and at first glance, she is the kind of woman who is used to doing housework, and her home is in Xihe County, which is below the provincial city.

In addition to a man who works as a green chemical worker in the cityscape center, there are also a pair of children who are about the same age as Li Yang.

Back to the living room.

Li Yang beckoned people to sit down and chatted briefly.

Xia Aizhen still looked a little nervous, her speech was not so neat, and she had a Xihe accent, but there was nothing wrong with the rest.

However, Li Yang is not looking for an assistant, and it doesn't matter if the accent is not standard, as long as the person is diligent and honest, after all, he is usually not at home, except for picking up Qingqing to and from school, he basically does some housework, takes out to buy groceries or something.

However, what makes Li Yang more satisfied is that Xia Aizhen is not illiterate, she has read for a few years, and she still knows the words.

Chatted for a while.

Li Yang generally felt that he was quite satisfied, so he kept the person.

"There is also a room on the first floor, there are bedding and everything, you usually live in that room, if you feel uncomfortable living at home, you can rent a room on the side by yourself. ”

"No, no, I'll live on the first floor, which is usually convenient. ”

After all, she was prepared before she came, and Xia Aizhen didn't pick it, after all, such a big house was countless times better than she thought before she came.

Originally, she was worried that the new owner would be difficult to serve, and she would have to go out to rent a house to live, but she was also relieved to see people at this time, the new owner was young, and she was not afraid of any gossip as a middle-aged woman.

If you go out to rent a house, you have to spend money in vain, and you can save a lot of money by living at home.

In fact, Li Yang didn't care much about this.

There are empty rooms on the second and third floors of the house, before Lao Yu and Liu Yumei lived on the second floor, Yu Xinyao lived on the third floor, and there were two guest rooms on the second floor in addition to the master bedroom reserved for Liu Jinlan and Li Xiangyang.

At the end of last year.

Lao Yu and his wife insisted on moving to the hotel, but Li Yang was not reluctant, so there was another empty room.

The bedroom on the first floor was originally used as a guest room, and it was just right for Xia Aizhen to come to live at home at this time, anyway, there were not many guests who usually came to live at home.

Seeing that Xia Aizhen had no opinions, she led people upstairs and downstairs to take a look, and explained some of the things she usually had to do, especially the various utensils in the kitchen, which dazzled Xia Aizhen for a while, because there were many things, not to mention that she had never seen them.

But I had to keep it in my heart and didn't say it in my mouth.

After explaining, Li Yang gave her a key to the door.

Lunch was made by Xia Aizhen herself.

The dishes are three home-cooked stir-fries, the taste is okay, probably the taste in the south of Nanjiang Province is similar, Li Yang also thinks the taste is very good, but it is a little spicy.

explained to Xia Aizhen that if Qingqing eats at home, it should be a little lighter, and told her a few dishes that the little guy usually likes to eat.

Seeing Xia Aizhen holding a small notebook and writing it down, Li Yang also felt that Li Fenghe's search was quite reliable, and he was also relieved.

If you really want to find a careless one for him to come back, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get along with when the time comes.

Eaten.

Li Yang leaned back on the sofa and squinted for a while.

Xia Aizhen cleaned up the kitchen inside and out, and when she saw that Li Yang was awake, she immediately came out to make him a cup of tea.

Seeing that the person turned around and was about to go to work again, Li Yang beckoned her to sit down.

"Auntie, don't be busy yet, let's sit down and talk. ”

Xia Aizhen seemed a little cramped,

Li Yang had no choice but to talk to her about family affairs.

And then he said:

"In addition to what I told you before, what I usually have to do at home is that you help pick up my niece when you go to and from school, and I will drive you there in the afternoon, the school is not far away, and it will only take more than 20 minutes to walk there. ”

Originally, Li Yang actually wanted to buy her a bicycle, but he was afraid that it would be unsafe to carry Qingqing, so he dismissed this idea.

Seeing that Xia Aizhen nodded, she continued: "You can eat and live as if you were your own family, I will give you another 600 yuan every month, and you don't have to worry about the expenses of the family, you can read and keep accounts, and the rest is nothing, do you think this will be successful?"

How much salary to give Xia Aizhen, in fact, Li Yang has seriously considered it.

In 2000, the average monthly salary of the national wage earners was less than 800, and giving Xia Aizhen 600 yuan per month, plus food and shelter, was actually relatively high.

It's not because Li Yang can't afford to give more, it's just that society is like this, and Li Yang also understands the truth of Shengmien's fight against Mi Qiu.

It's not good to give too much, but he would rather give people two more red envelopes during the New Year's holidays.

"What's wrong with this, where can people like us go to find a job for 600 yuan a month to do, that is, the owner is good-hearted. ”

As soon as Xia Aizhen heard Li Yang's words, she couldn't help but thank her.

In fact, her reaction was not exaggerated.

In fact

The salary of 600 yuan a month was something she had never thought about before.

After all, it is just doing some housework, and when she did this kind of work for others earlier, it was only three or four hundred yuan a month.

Not to mention a family like Li Yang, living in such a big house, just having food and housing makes her feel a head shorter.

Originally, she was worried that Li Yang, the owner, would lower the price, but who knew that she could get such a high level of 600, and she was naturally a hundred willing in her heart.

Li Yang waved his hand and didn't let her continue, pulled a wad of money from his wallet and put it on the table and said:

"I will give you your salary at the end of each month, if you forget it, remember to remind me, this money is usually used for family expenses, and you ask me when it is used up. ”

Xia Aizhen thought in her heart that the new owner was afraid that she was not the kind of person who was poor for food, and she would not be pretentious when she received the money.

But when she counted it and found that this pile of money was nearly 1,000 yuan, she also sighed in her heart, do rich people need so much money to eat!!

sighed and asked: "Owner, is there a standard for eating at home?"

Li Yang nodded secretly in his heart when he heard this, knowing that Xia Aizhen was not a fool, he was naturally a lot more relieved, but he was afraid that he would find a stupid eldest sister to come back, so he didn't care about anything.

After thinking about it, he said: "There is no special standard, anyway, you usually look at the meat and vegetarian matching, if there are guests coming, buy some high-grade ones, you have the idea of how much, but the meat ones buy more beef and fish, and the fruits should also be prepared." ”

Li Yang said it simply, but Xia Aizhen was still taken aback.

According to Li Yang's standard, I am afraid that it will cost five or six hundred in a month, and it is really a rich family, and this standard is that she is tired and tired to earn money for other people's food.

But he didn't show it on his face, he just nodded and came down, but he had a clear understanding in his heart.

But Li Yang didn't say anything specific, she also knew that she would probably have to make up her own mind, and she was a little apprehensive.

Li Yang also opened it, but he didn't say much, after all, he didn't have so much energy to worry about such things as eating and drinking.

But when I thought of Qingqing's little girl being embarrassed now, I couldn't help but remind her.

"If my little niece wants to buy something, or what she wants to eat, you don't have to tell me, as long as you don't buy everything that is not clean, you just keep an account, and tell me when the money is not enough, you can't ask you to pay for yourself." ”

Xia Aizhen smiled and nodded, also surprised.

After all, I have seen my baby son and daughter, and this is the first time I have seen such a precious niece.

At this time, in addition to being curious about what kind of little girl Li Yang's niece was, the careful thinking in his heart also opened.

It seems that in addition to doing a good job of the things assigned by the owner, taking care of the little niece who has not yet met is probably his most urgent task.

When Xia Aizhen was busy mopping the floor, Li Yang leaned on the sofa and watched "Huanzhu Gege" for a while, this TV series was still very popular in 2000, if it wasn't for something in his heart, Li Yang really wanted to chase the bloody plot from the beginning again.

Li Yang didn't go to the company in the afternoon, and when it was time for school to get out of school, he beckoned Xia Aizhen to go out with him.

I drove people to a nearby vegetable market and fruit shop and followed the route, and then drove to Hongqi Primary School.

After waiting for a while, Qingqing ran out of the school gate, and when he caught a glimpse of Li Yang's car, he rushed this way.

After waiting for the car, Li Yang introduced Xia Aizhen to her, and the little guy had a sweet mouth and called grandma.

Li Yang originally thought that he was afraid that he would call people old, but when he thought that he called Xia Aizhen aunt, he didn't correct it, but Xia Aizhen was quite happy, and pulled Qingqing to chat for a while.

When she got home, Xia Aizhen saw that Qingqing was not noisy or greedy to watch TV, but consciously ran to the study on the first floor to do her homework, and she was suddenly relieved.

She likes children a lot, but she is afraid of meeting the kind of little princess who has a bad temper and is spoiled at home.

At this time, I heard Qingqing's grandmother call very intimately, and my heart felt like drinking honey.

Wait for dinner.

Li Yang sat on the sofa in the living room with Qingqing in his arms, and the uncle and nephew watched "Astro Boy" with a blanket, and Li Yang fell asleep unconsciously.

When the wall clock on the wall struck 8 o'clock, he suddenly woke up, and saw that the villain had long since disappeared, and took a look into the house, only to find that Xia Aizhen had coaxed Qingqing to take a bath and go upstairs to sleep.

I was immediately filled with emotion.

Really!

Find an aunt to come back, and I have returned from the feudal era to the reform and opening up in an instant, and I am relaxed.

In normal times, I have to coax the little one to take a bath and sleep.
