At nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Jia and I came to my mother's house with our children, and as soon as we entered the house, someone rang the doorbell. When the door was opened, a middle-aged woman about forty years old was standing in front of the door.

"Hello, I was introduced by the housekeeping company." As she spoke, the eldest sister handed me a letter of introduction.

"Sister, please come in." I read the letter of introduction and brought my eldest sister in.

"Eldest sister, please ask, what's your last name?"

"Oh, my surname is Lu. Double-mouthed Lu. ”

"Then I'll call you Sister Lu in the future, sister, you see, this is my mother's home, the kitchen is here, and one of the two bedrooms here is my parents' and the other is mine." I took Sister Lu with me to get a general understanding of the situation in the house.

"My mother just had surgery, my father needs to go to work, there are only two of you at home during the day, my father doesn't come back to eat at noon, my father usually gets off work at about four o'clock in the afternoon, and you can leave when he comes back, cook two meals a day for my mother, one breakfast, one lunch, my mother can walk, there is no problem with activities or anything now, but she has just been discharged from the hospital and is a little weak. As for you, you help buy groceries, wash dishes, and have a washing machine for washing clothes at home. ”

Sister Lu looked around, smiled and nodded, "Okay, yes, the work is easier, at the beginning, the housekeeping company told me that there was a patient to take care of, I thought I was bedridden at home." Look at it this way, my salary will be reduced by 1,000 yuan per month, you have to be honest, I can't cheat you. ”

Sister Lu's words made my heart warm, but I hoped that Sister Lu could take good care of my mother, so I took Sister Lu's hand and said, "Sister, you see that this money will be given to you according to the price originally discussed, I don't ask for anything else, just want you to accompany my mother well, and it's winter vacation, I'm busy at work, and I have two children who need to be taken care of at home." ”

Sister Lu looked at the mango and little cream that were playing, and said with a smile, "Your child is older, it's nothing more than making a milk powder, not a milk doll, so you don't have to hold it all the time." ”

"Sister, since I came, I can treat you badly, but the original price will not change, so it's set, you don't have to keep letting it go, we will be a family in the future."

Sister Lu heard that the salary had not changed, and smiled from ear to ear, "Then thank you big sister, let's sign the contract, according to the regulations, our company stipulates another week probationary period, this one-week probationary period is half price, but I met you today such a cheerful person, I am also happy once, I don't want this one-week probationary period money, if you do well, we will sign a formal contract in a week, if you don't do well, I will leave with the bag, you see if it works." ”

"Okay." I also like such straightforward people, and when I said that, I sat down with Sister Lu and signed a temporary contract.

Then I took Sister Lu to get to know her parents, because she will officially take up her post from tomorrow. "Okay, sister, it's okay, you can go back and prepare first, just come at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."

"I, I'm not going to leave when I'm here today, you see I've brought all my things, I'll cook lunch for you directly, you try my craft, right." I didn't make breakfast today, so the probationary period will be counted from tomorrow. "No wonder I went to the housekeeping company before, and I have been recommending this eldest sister to me, and sure enough, this eldest sister has a good personality and is more refreshing.

In the morning, the use of various household appliances at home and the location of the location clearly, near noon, the four of us adults sat on the tea table drinking tea and watching TV, and the little ones played in the living room with space sand.

The father put his legs on the coffee table and said relaxedly, "It's not much time for the four of us to sit at home together and wait for the meal to be served, this state is quite uncomfortable." ”

"If you don't adapt, I'll let them leave after I settle the salary." I snickered.

"No, no, no, I'll get used to it."

As soon as the clock rang twelve o'clock at noon, Sister Lu appeared with five dishes and one soup.

"Come and sit down, come and try it, the food is not to your liking."

Sister Lu took the rice spoon "This is Auntie's" Sister Lu put the dish in front of her mother, "Auntie, since you have just been discharged from the hospital, it is suitable for eating light, so this is yours, and the soup can also be drunk without being salty at all." ”

Mother nodded, tasted a bite of the dish, and then nodded and praised Sister Lu, "The food you cook is very good, the taste is light, and it is very refreshing to eat." ”

"Auntie, come and try the soup."

The mother lowered her head and tasted the soup, and was full of praise for the soup: "Auntie, I have been studying nutrition before, so I will mix the vegetables every day, and show you the recipe for the next week in advance every Sunday so that the taste can be blended." ”

"And recipes?" I couldn't help but ask.

"That's nature, although we are home-cooked, but we also want to let you match meat and vegetables with nutritional science, do you say yes, hahahaha." Sister Lu laughed as she spoke.

We all tasted the food, and it tasted really good, not only that, but also took into account the tastes of me and Lin Jia, the taste was taken care of very comprehensively, and my father and Lin Jia were also very satisfied.

After eating, on weekdays, we are used to resting on the dining table for a while before cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, but as soon as we put the bowl today, Sister Lu quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, which made us all a little embarrassed.

"Sister, I'll brush it." I had never hired a nanny, and suddenly felt that Sister Lu was a guest and I should take care of her.

"Go out, big girl, it's up to me to do it, don't feel a burden in your heart, if you go to a restaurant to eat, won't you go to the back kitchen to wash the dishes?" Get out of here. ”

Three times five divided by two, Sister Lu cleaned up the kitchen, from the moment she entered the door, she did not rest for a moment, under her tidying, the house was obviously a lot cleaner.

"Mom, why did that auntie come to grandma's house?"

"Because my grandmother has just been discharged from the hospital, she is very painful after the operation, and she can't cook by herself or take care of you and your sister, so my mother asked this aunt to take care of you."

"So what should I do?"

"What you have to do is learn to say please to your aunt, say you, because she is your elder, you can't let your aunt hug or let grandma hug, when your mother is away, you are the big sister in the family, you have to play with little cream."

"Yes." Mango stood straight with his hands together.

"Dad" I turned my head to look at my father, "You should go to work, just leave the affairs of the family to Sister Lu." ”

"I don't plan to go to work for the time being, but I'll go back when it's warm up after the New Year and your mother's activities are convenient, and now I can also help your mother go out for a walk at home."

I nodded, it's going to be the New Year in a few days, and it's good to go back after the New Year.

"Sister, are you going home for the New Year?"

"If I don't go home, my son is abroad, my husband is also working abroad, and I am alone at home."

"Then stay and celebrate the New Year with us."

"Ugh." Sister Lu responded to me with a smile.

Everything was settled, I went to the supermarket with Lin Jia, there were too many people for the Chinese New Year, so we didn't take the children there.
