After washing up, I put on a white short-sleeved shirt and a three-layer ruffled denim miniskirt.
She put on a vibrant high ponytail, put on a bow headband and went out.
Today is Doudou's first day in kindergarten. She has to go to the villa early to dress up Doudou.
After buying steamed buns, dumplings and shaomai at his own bakery, Lin Mai rode his bicycle to the villa.
When Doudou went to kindergarten, Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang all paid great attention to it and were very excited. They all got up early and dressed up the little guy beautifully.
Ah Huang kept looking at his little master with his tongue hanging.
Suddenly his ears pricked up, he turned around and rushed towards the door, barking happily.
Fang Zhuoran said to Doudou: "Your mother is here!" He picked her up and walked out.
Fang Zhuoran looked at Fang Zhuoran's back with a speechless expression.
My sister-in-law comes every day, but my eldest brother acts as if we are reunited after a long separation. Is it that exaggerated?
Fang Zhuoran carried Doudou out of the house, and Lin Mai had already opened the courtyard door and pushed his bicycle in.
Ah Huang walked around her happily, wagging his tail.
Seeing Doudou wearing the denim suit that Tao Zhiyun made for her, Lin Mai smiled and said, "If I had known that grandma would change you into this outfit, I wouldn't have come so early."
She came so early specifically because she wanted to put Doudou into this little denim suit so that mother and daughter could go to kindergarten in parent-child clothes.
Doudou pointed at the denim skirt she was wearing and shouted excitedly: "Mom's skirt is the same as mine!"
Fang Zhuoran also noticed it and stared at her long and straight legs: "Is this skirt a little short?"
Lin Mai lowered his head and glanced at the skirt: "Aren't all miniskirts like this?"
Fang Zhuoran was silent for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Can you stop wearing a miniskirt?"
Lin Mai was very puzzled and asked: "Why?"
Fang Zhuoran looked at her watery, big eyes without any distractions, and suddenly felt that his mind was a little dirty.
A little girl loves beauty and wants to wear a miniskirt, but she tries to stop her because she doesn't want other men to see her beautiful legs. This is an unacceptable idea.
Love is respect and care, not restriction.
He put Doudou on the ground, took the bicycle from Lin Mai's hand and parked it for her: "Nothing, I'm just worried that if you wear such a short skirt, your legs will get cold and you will get rheumatism in the future."
Lin Mai laughed: "It's late summer now and the weather is still hot. How can you get rheumatism from the cold?"
A group of three people and a dog entered the villa. Fang Zhuoyue stared at Lin Mai's beautiful legs and whistled: "My sister-in-law is so beautiful today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his elder brother staring at him fiercely.
His expression was like that of a ferocious beast guarding its food.
The smile on Fang Zhuoyue's face gradually disappeared, thinking in his mind what he had done wrong that would make his elder brother glare at him.
But after thinking about it, he didn't expect that he would anger his elder brother who always loved him.
Lin Mai glanced at Fang Zhuoyue curiously.
While putting the breakfast he brought on the dining table, he quietly asked Fang Zhuoran: "Did your brother run out of ammunition and food again, so he came to your house early in the morning to get some food?"
But when she thought about it, she felt something was wrong.
Frowning, he asked: "The salary was only paid at the end of the month, and it's gone on the first day of the month? Is your brother so able to spend money?"
Fang Zhuoran said: "He didn't come here to earn money, he lived in my house."
Lin Mai was a little surprised: "Then why didn't I see him at noon yesterday?"
"His workplace is a bit far from my home and he won't be back at noon."
Lin Mai said softly,
Just after breakfast, the nanny hired by Fang Zhuoran came.
She is an aunt who seems to be very honest and responsible.
My aunt's surname is Huang.
Fang Zhuoran called her Aunt Huang.
He smiled apologetically at Aunt Huang: "Originally, I wanted to hire you as a nanny, but my grandparents only want part-time work. Are you still willing to do it?"
Aunt Huang was stunned for a moment and asked weakly: "What is a part-time worker?"
In this era, there are only nannies and no hourly workers, so Aunt Huang is confused.
Fang Zhuoran explained to her: "A part-time worker is a nanny who only works a few hours a day."
"Then...how many hours do you work every day and how much is your salary?" Aunt Huang asked with some anxiety.
She works as a nanny to earn money to support her family.
If she works short hours every day and doesn't get much salary every month, she will have no choice but to find another job.
But nanny jobs are not easy to find.
Fang Zhuoran said: "My grandparents want you to come to work at eight o'clock every morning and get off work at twelve noon.
You only have to work four hours a day, and you don't have to work on holidays.
Just finish all the housework every day and make lunch.
It doesn’t include three meals a day, and the salary is five yuan less than being a nanny. Do you think it’s okay?”
The salary Professor Fang previously offered for a live-in nanny was five yuan higher than the market price.
Now minus five yuan, it's just the same as the market price of a live-in nanny.
The key point is that working at Professor Fang's house is short-term and there are holidays. Even if the salary is five yuan lower than what was previously agreed, it is still very cost-effective.
Aunt Huang happily agreed.
She also hopes to have holidays, and she doesn't like staying at her employer's house because it would be uncomfortable.
Grandma Fang told Aunt Huang what housework to do and what meals to prepare for lunch, then she and Fang Zhuoran and the others went out in a grand manner.
Not long after Fang Zhuoyue left the house, he parted ways with everyone and took the bus to work.
On the way, Lin Mai asked Fang Zhuoran: "Is that Aunt Huang reliable? She won't steal when no one is at home, right?"
Although Aunt Huang looks honest and kind, one should not take her at face value.
Fang Zhuoran shook his head: "Probably not. Aunt Huang was introduced by an acquaintance. The acquaintance said that her hands and feet are very clean and she is quick at work."
Grandma Fang said indifferently: "If your hands and feet are not clean, you will know if you try it."
Lin Mai asked curiously: "How to try?"
Grandma Fang said: "I deliberately placed a five-yuan bill in the corner of the house.
This bill looks like it's been lost.
As long as Aunt Huang is very serious about her housework, she will definitely find this five-yuan bill when cleaning.
If she was a person with clean hands and feet, she would give this five-dollar bill to me.
If her hands and feet were unclean or she liked petty gains, she wouldn't be able to give this five-yuan bill to me."
Lin Mai admired him and said: "Ginger is still very spicy, but grandma is really awesome.
Using a banknote can not only test whether Aunt Huang is a clean person.
You can also test whether she is serious about doing housework and whether she is careful or not, killing two birds with one stone."
Grandpa Fang smiled heartily and said: "Your grandma used to be an underground party member. If she is not great, who is?"
Xiaohonghua Kindergarten is not very far from Fang Zhuoran's villa, just over a quarter of an hour's walk away.
Seven-thirty is the peak time for parents to send their children to kindergarten.
The entrance of the kindergarten was full of parents and children. It was so lively!
Two clever vendors set up a stall selling fried dough sticks and Hanamaki steamed buns in front of the kindergarten.
Many children clamored for food.
In this era, the one-child policy has been implemented for several years, and more than half of these children are only children.
If there is only one child, parents will naturally be pampered. When the child makes trouble, the parents cannot help but be satisfied.
I had no choice but to buy a fried dough stick, a flower roll, or a steamed bun for my child.
The business of the two small vendors was booming.
Qiqi was standing next to Tao Zhiyun, eating fried dough sticks, when she suddenly saw Doudou's family.
The little guy suddenly became excited. He used his greasy hands to pull Tao Zhiyun's white printed dress. He raised his little face and said, "Mom, Doudou, Aunt Lin."
Tao Zhiyun was talking to her parents who had come with her to send Qiqi to kindergarten. When she heard this, she asked, "Where is it?"
Qiqi pointed at the Doudou family with her little finger holding the fried dough sticks: "Over there!"
Tao Zhiyun hurriedly waved to Lin Mai's group of people: "Mai Zi, here!"
Lin Mai also saw her mother and son. Grandpa Fang said, "That's Sister Tao who made Doudou's denim skirt and small school bag."
Grandma Fang smiled and exclaimed: "This girl is so handsome!"
As soon as Doudou saw Qiqi, he ran towards him and Grandpa Fang couldn't stop him.
Just like an old hen guarding her chicks, she followed closely behind her.
The two children were extremely excited when they met, jumping, jumping and hugging each other.
Qiqi also gave Doudou the fried dough sticks in her hand to eat.
Although little fat Doudou’s belly was swollen, he still took Qiqi’s fried dough sticks and started eating them.
Grandma Fang was afraid that she would overeat, so she took a small piece of the fried dough stick in her hand and gave it to her, and gave the rest to Qiqi.
Fortunately, Doudou is not a greedy child. She can eat as much as Grandma Fang asks her to eat without making any fuss.
