Chapter 39: Old Acquaintances

The manager who came to take over the store probably knew Xie Bin's identity and was very polite to Xie Bin, and did not raise any objections in the face of the slightly inflated price of six million.

In other words, the location of the old man's store is good, but in addition to the storefront, there is really not much inventory in it, and there is nothing valuable, if it is according to the market price, it will be a little more than five million. However, the old man's four treasures are mainly due to a good geographical location, and there are more than four years of rent, and at the same time, this certificate has also saved a lot of effort. Therefore, Xie Bin and his father-in-law are not at a loss, and on the whole, it is a happy situation.

Besides, no matter how much Xie Bin feels sorry for Guoguo, he can't really let his father-in-law suffer, right? Xie Bin just made the transfer money a whole number, if it was too high, Old Man Zhao probably wouldn't accept it.

There was a small bedroom on the other side of the shop, which was used by the old man when he occasionally rested, and there was still some luggage in it, which was to be taken away. But when I went out, I saw Song Zhenping.

Song Zhenping obviously also got the news of the transfer of the store, holding a box in his hand, and said to Xie Bin: "Is it really transferred?" ”

Xie Bin nodded, "There's no way, the old man's body can't get this thing anymore, change some money and go back to retire." ”

Song Zhenping sighed, "Lao Zhao really lost a lot this time," he said and handed over the box in his hand, "This is the painting that Lao Zhao bought, you can take it back for him." ”

Xie Bin took it and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Song, let's go sit together?" ”

"Forget it, I still have something to do here, I just came out after watching you come over, let's go over another day, Lao Zhao has to take care of it now," Song Zhenping said with a smile.

Xie Bin nodded, and the two parted after a few pleasantries.

Holding that painting, Xie Bin was full of emotion in his heart, thinking about the calligraphy and painting that the old man had been playing for several years, it had always been a small fight, thousands of dollars and tens of thousands of dollars, even if it was an eye-catcher, it didn't matter. I didn't expect the last one to dare to play so big, and I lost my old book all of a sudden, and I almost gave up.

Taking this fake painting back, Xie Bin asked with a smile: "Old Zhao, where do you put this painting?" ”

Old Man Zhao sighed and waved his hand: "Forget it, you can keep it for yourself, put it here to look at it as an eyesore." ”

Xie Bin nodded and didn't say anything more, a fake painting was indeed not worth much, so he didn't push it back, but he was still a little curious about what kind of painting made the old man dare to spend so much money to win, and even Song Zhenping and those people were very optimistic.

After settling down the old man, Xie Bin is ready to find a suitable nanny to serve the two grandchildren. It's just that the current nanny says it's easy to find, but it's actually easy to find, but if it's hard to find, it's really difficult.

In these years, not only the owner chooses the nanny, but the nanny also picks the owner, and I don't know how many people rush to ask for a good nanny. Among them, Xie Bin also took a fancy to one, but when they heard that there was an old man at home who was not very convenient to move and a little girl who needed someone to pick him up, he still needed to be full-time, and he was unwilling to do anything.

You must know that Xie Bin's salary is not low, 5,000 yuan per month, which is about to catch up with some white-collar workers. But people just don't want to, and no one can do anything. A good nanny is really in demand, as soon as they rejected Xie Bin here, a family found her at the turn of the head, the same 5,000 yuan a month, but she only needs to cook, clean and do housework.

took Guoguo for two days, but never found a suitable one, some were willing, but Xie Bin and Guoguo were a little disdainful. It's not that Xie Bin and Guoguo are picky, but Xie Bin doesn't worry about handing over the old and the young to some uneasy people, not to mention petty theft, if there are other bad intentions, Xie Bin will regret it too late.

This old and young have a lot of property, but it is almost unguarded, if the nanny has a bad heart, it really can't be prevented. This is not that Xie Bin is worrying, but that he has learned a lesson, is there less such news? Many! In particular, most nannies are middle-aged women with a low level of education, and their legal awareness is relatively weak, and once they are tempted, it is difficult to control themselves.

Moreover, the nanny she found has to make Guoguo look pleasing to the eye, after all, you have to get along all day long, and you have to get along for a long time, so Guoguo's feelings are the most important. couldn't find a suitable nanny for a while, Xie Bin was also a little anxious, he had the heart to take care of the old man, but he couldn't really stay here every day. Leave a phone number for several home economics centers to find a suitable contact for them.

On Sunday morning, Xie Bin took Guoguo to run and practice boxing. In the past, it was the old man who brought Guoguo, but now it has been replaced by Xie Bin. However, in the past few days, Xie Bin has started to practice his Taijiquan again, because the old man specially asked the boxer who passed on his Taijiquan, saying that Taijiquan will not have any conflict with Yijin Jing, although he practiced.

Xie Bin picked up Taijiquan again, but he didn't practice it for a while, and when he suddenly practiced again, he felt as if he had more understanding of Taijiquan. Just like Xie Bin's calligraphy and painting, although he has not moved for a long time, his skills are still there, and he has not only not been rusty but has improved when he picks it up again.

After having breakfast with the old man, Xie Bin took Guoguo to the housekeeping market but still couldn't find a suitable one. In boredom, he came to Chaotian Palace.

Xie Bin pulled Guoguo and asked, "Guoguo, do you want to go shopping?" ”

Guoguo nodded excitedly, after all, she was a child, and the old man rarely took her shopping or anything before, but when she saw the lively scene of Chaotian Palace, she naturally longed for it in her heart. Xie Bin saw that Guoguo liked it, so he took her hand and went in.

The Chaotian Palace on Sunday was indeed very lively, Xie Bin bought two gadgets for Guoguo, and also got some snacks, and slowly swayed in it. Guoguo is young and curious, and Xie Bin is spoiled, which rarely shows the naughtiness of children, dragging Xie Bin around.

didn't go far, but Xie Bin suddenly saw an acquaintance. This acquaintance is none other than Xie Bin's colleague and family, Xie Chengwen, who plays bamboo and wood carving.

But now Xie Chengwen is not alone, there is also a middle-aged man about fifty years old, who should be his father. It seems that the business is very good, much stronger than when Xie Bin came a year ago, after all, in this society, many things will change in a year.

Xie Bin pulled Guoguo over, stood in front of the stall and said with a smile: "Boss Xie, business is good." ”

Xie Chengwen, who had just sent away a customer, raised his head when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "Xie Bin?" He said and said, "Sure enough, it's you, I thought you forgot about me." ”

Xie Bin laughed, "Where will it be, I still want to come to you to see it before the Chinese New Year, but I thought that you should be in the busy season, so I didn't bother," said Lala Guoguo: "Guoguo, call uncle." ”

Guoguo called out crisply, "Hello uncle," in front of outsiders, Guoguo still behaved very sensible and very steady.

Xie Chengwen nodded, reached out and picked up a shepherd boy bull riding pen holder from the stall and stuffed it into Guoguo's hand, "Na, little girl, this is for you to play, take it." ”

Guoguo looked at Xie Bin, and after Xie Bin smiled and nodded, Guoguo stretched out his hand and said to Xie Chengwen, "Thank you, uncle." ”

Xie Chengwen smiled, took out a mazar and said, "Come and sit for a while, aren't you busy?" ”

Xie Bin nodded, walked to the back of the stall and sat down, and let Guoguo stand in his arms, uh, it's not that Xie Chengwen is stingy, he should really not be sitting.

Xie Chengwen pointed to the middle-aged man on the side and introduced, "This is my dad," and then pointed to Xie Bin, "Dad, this is the Xie Bin I told you about, and he also plays carving." ”

Xie Bin smiled and shouted, "Hello uncle," Guoguo also called crisply, "Grandpa." ”

It is estimated that Xie Chengwen's father has not yet become a grandfather, and when he heard Guoguo's title, he smiled with a smile, and then said to Xie Chengwen: "Don't sit here, take your friends to sit in the teahouse, I'm busy." ”

Xie Bin quickly refused, "It's good to be here, how lively it is, and it won't delay the transaction when you talk." ”

Xie Chengwen's face was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but seeing that Xie Bin's attitude was very resolute, he sat down and asked with a smile, "Why are you free to come?" This little girl must be a local. ”

Xie Bin nodded, "Exactly, I wanted to find a nanny for her, but I didn't expect to find a suitable one after looking for a few days." ”

"Oh? Looking for what? Xie Chengwen asked with interest.

Xie Bin explained the general situation.

Xie Chengwen listened to his father's clothes, "Dad, doesn't my mother want to be a nanny?" Let my mom come over and see if it's suitable? ”

Xie Bin also felt that it was okay when he heard it, at least Xie Chengwen and his father were serious people, and they could be regarded as having a little knowledge, if they really could, Xie Chengwen's mother was really a good choice. A large part of the reason why Xie Bin couldn't find a suitable nanny was that he didn't know the roots and didn't dare to use it casually.

Xie Bin found a place to sit in the teahouse next to him and ordered a pot of Longjing casually, anyway, he didn't know how to make tea, so he didn't pay so much attention to it. Xie Chengwen soon came over with a middle-aged woman, and Xie Bin looked at it and felt like he had seen Aunt Huzi.

Uh, well, this is Xie Bin's delusion, but Xie Chengwen's mother does look like a serious person. Coming into this slightly elegant teahouse, I was a little restrained.

Xie Bin stood up and said with a smile: "Auntie, you are Brother Xie's mother, please take a seat." ”

Xie Chengwen sat down with his mother and introduced: "Mom, this is Xie Bin, as I told you, he is also looking for a nanny." ”

Xie Chengwen's mother said with a smile: "It's my first time as a nanny, and I have no experience." ”

Xie Bin nodded and said, "It's okay, what other experience do nannies need, just cook, clean up, and then pick up this girl to and from school," said Guoguo's shoulder, and Guoguo called crisply: "Grandma is good." ”

Xie Chengwen's mother looked at Guoguo with a smile on her face, "Okay, good, really sensible, a good girl," said and asked, "That's all?" What about the old man's body? ”

"There is no major problem with the body, I was a little weak just discharged from the hospital, but it is not serious, I can solve it by myself by walking, eating and going to the toilet, as long as I don't let him run around or do something beyond his strength," Xie Bin said about the old man's situation.

Xie Chengwen's mother nodded, "Yes," said a little embarrassed, "However, that ......"
