Chapter 62: The Governess
In the following days, Xia Wanwan did not see Rong Xicheng again, and she did not even see anyone on weekends.
From Zhao's mother's mouth, I learned that Rong Xicheng had been going out early and returning late during this time, as if the company was busy with some big project.
"Madam, the tutor that the old man has hired for the young ladies has arrived. The servants of Rong Zhai brought in several young tutors.
"Madam, this is the biographies of several teachers. Zhao's mother handed a few resumes to Xia Wanwan, and Xia Wanwan looked at them all from prestigious universities or graduate students, and the resumes looked beautiful.
Piano, dance, painting, self-defense, etiquette, English, this weekend's two-day schedule is full, which makes Xia Wanwan can't help frowning, and now the child is still so young, the pressure is too great, right?
But she also knows that all upper-class children will have to receive such an education from an early age, although her grandfather doted on her when she was a child, her grandfather never indulged her in learning.
I used to complain when I was a child, but when what I learned before came in handy, I would only thank my grandfather for his persistence.
And when I became a mother, I also knew that parents' love for their children should not be indulgent and laissez-faire.
Everything in this world will change, and many changes will happen without you thinking about it, but what you have learned will always exist in your body, and it is your tool to resist change.
Although Xia Wanwan feels sorry for the children, what she can do is to take them out for a walk and play to relax after the children finish their studies.
Mother Zhao looked at Xia Wanwan and frowned slightly, but then returned to her usual face and said: "Madam, the old man means to let the young lady and the young master follow a few teachers to try to see what they are interested in and good at, and then learn according to their own interests and strengths, but English and self-defense skills must be learned." ”
"Okay. Xia Wanwan nodded, the old man was really thoughtful.
"Madam, downstairs has been transformed into a dance studio and piano room, the studio is on the first floor, next to your studio, the dance studio can also be used for martial arts classes, and cultural classes are also held in the study room on the first floor. Mother Zhao introduced to Xia Wanwan.
"Okay, Mama Zhao, it's been hard for you to handle all this during this time. All of this was done unconsciously by her, indeed thanks to Zhao's mother's manipulation.
"Madam, you are polite, as a housekeeper, my task is to share the worries of Mr., Mrs. and Miss and Young Master. Mother Zhao said modestly, she is an old man from the old mansion of the Rong family, and she has a housekeeper certificate, and the salary given by her husband is not low, she naturally recognizes that she came to the Rong house to work, not to eat and wait for the elderly.
She originally thought that after her husband married his wife, his wife would take care of some of the things in the family, but their wife's marriage model was very similar to that they were forced to live together for the sake of these children.
Mrs. doesn't manage the affairs of the family very much, but she is only concerned about the affairs of the young lady and several young masters.
However, she also knew that her wife still had her own career outside, and it was not easy to take care of the young lady and several young masters.
But in this way, it is difficult to enhance the relationship between their husband and wife, so will they always live together like this for a lifetime?
Mother Zhao sighed in her heart, but she didn't care about the affairs of the main family.
"Would you please call a few of the children down to meet the teacher?"
"Okay, wait a minute. ”
"Sit down, Xiaoping, and serve tea to a few teachers. Xia Wanwan said to the maid who led several teachers in.
She has been living in Rong Mansion for nearly a month, and she finally figured out the servants up and down Rong Mansion.
"Thank you, Mrs. Yung. Several teachers sat down on the sofa, except for the middle-aged etiquette teacher who sat upright, and the other young teachers couldn't help but look around.
"Mommy~"
After the four villains came down to greet Xia Wanwan, they looked at the strangers in front of them curiously.
"Mommy, who are they?" asked Chenchen curiously.
"These are all teachers that your grandfather invited for you, and you will have to study hard with the teachers on weekends in the future. Xia Wanwan said to a few children.
"Mommy, do we still have to go to school on the weekend?" Little Star's brow furrowed and turned into a bitter melon face.
"Don't go to school outside, several teachers will come to teach you at home. Xia Wanwan nodded the tip of Xiaoxing's nose and said.
"But Mommy, you don't want to go to work on weekends, why do we still have to go to school?" asked Chenchen with a distressed face.
"Why don't you take a look at the teachers' classes first, do you feel interested, and then decide?" Xia Wanwan did not answer directly, but proposed.
"Okay. Chenchen looked embarrassed.
However, Yueyue and Yangyang looked interested.
These four children are both moving and static, which can be regarded as complementary.
Mother Zhao led Xia Wanwan and the children and several teachers to visit the classroom and the tea room where the teachers could prepare for class after they came.
gave each teacher thirty minutes of class time to try the class, Xia Wanwan listened to the whole process, and habitually took a notebook to make records.
After the trial class was over, Xia Wanwan asked the four children what they thought.
"Mommy, I don't like the teacher in the etiquette class, that teacher doesn't laugh and looks so fierce. Chenchen took the lead in expressing his opinion.
"Mommy, so do I. Little Star also raised his hand and said.
"I don't like it either. Yang Yang also expressed his opinion.
"Okay, then let's take an etiquette class first. Xia Wanwan also doesn't like the overly serious and restrained etiquette teacher, now the children are still young, and there is no need to take etiquette classes, so it is too restrictive to the children's nature, even if the children really want to learn some etiquette, but there is no need to learn now.
"yes. Little Star and Chenchen high-fived and cheered.
"But Mommy, can we not take dance class. Yueyue, who had never spoken, said.
"Boys can not go, dance class will let the stars go. Xia Wanwan touched Yueyue's head and said.
Yueyue is the most careful and considerate of these children, but it is also the quietest child, he rarely expresses his thoughts, and Xia Wanwan will certainly satisfy him.
In this way, the children's weekend classes are set, and the classes are held all day Saturday and Sunday morning, and the afternoon time is reserved for the children to play on their own, or she has time to take the children out to play.
At dinner time, Xiaoxing stared at a table of dishes with a stunned face and did not move his chopsticks.
"Xingxing, what's wrong?" Xia Wanwan asked.
"Mommy, when will Dad come back, Dad hasn't come back for dinner lately, and I haven't seen Dad for many days. ”
