1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 278 Arrangement of the Fairy Mother

"I won't go far."

Tianxianma looked around the courtyard and said, "Just walk around this courtyard."

"Okay, let's have a meal."

After saying this, Xu Yuexin went out, bought some vegetables, and started cooking in the kitchen in the courtyard.

By the time the meal was ready, it was already noon.

Crucian carp and tofu soup, braised pork with bamboo shoots, pig's trotters stewed with peanuts, stir-fried vegetables, and cold cucumber salad.

There are four dishes and one soup in total, and the portions are quite large.

Tianxian's mother was very devoted to the meal. In the end, she and Xu Yuexin finished all the dishes together and still felt a little unsatisfied.

After pregnancy, my appetite becomes bigger.

"I'll make you a bowl of egg fried rice and some pickled mustard tuber."

Xu Yuexin stood up, ran to the kitchen, cleaned the pot, beat two eggs, and made a bowl of egg fried rice for Tianxian's mother with the leftover rice in the rice cooker.

Then he ran to the store outside and bought a bag of pickled mustard tubers.

Just as he paid for the pickled mustard tuber and turned to leave, something suddenly occurred to him and he went back to buy a tube of noodles.

"I bought you noodles."

After returning to the courtyard, Xu Yuexin brought the egg fried rice from the kitchen to Tianxian's mother and said, "You can eat it when you are hungry."

"I'll hire a caring nanny for you tomorrow, so that you'll have someone to take care of you when I'm not around."

"No, I don't need a babysitter yet."

Tianxian's mother was very touched by Xu Yuexin's thoughtfulness and attentiveness, but still declined.

"Invite them now. Don't wait until the month is advanced. You will be too busy then."

Xu Yuexin still insisted.

After Tianxian's mother finished making the fried rice, Xu Yuexin made the bed for her, folded the quilt, and let her have a good nap.

Xu Yuexin stayed by Tianxian's mother's side, and after she fell asleep, he couldn't help but touch her belly with his hand.

"What are you doing?"

Tianxianma muttered.

"You're not asleep yet?"

"I fell asleep, and you woke me up again."

"Oh, I was thinking about our child, so I touched your belly."

As soon as Xu Yuexin mentioned the child, Tianxian's mother immediately became energetic and her sleepiness disappeared.

She climbed up from the bed, leaned against the headboard, and pointed to her belly: "The doctor said the baby is not even a little big yet."

"What do you think, will it be a boy or a girl?"

"It should be a girl?"

Xu Yuexin felt something in his heart and said to Tianxianma.

"It's also possible that it's a boy and a girl, if they are really twins."

Tianxian's mother thought happily, "Then we'll have both a son and a daughter."

“I like both men and women.”

Xu Yuexin said, "By the way, how long did you take leave from school?"

"I took a year-long vacation, during which I only received basic salary and no bonus."

Tianxianma replied.

"Almost. After giving birth and finishing my confinement, it's just the right time for me to go back to work."

Xu Yuexin nodded and said, "I'll buy you some food tomorrow. I'll try to cook for you every day until you find a nanny."

"If you really can't come over, you might have to do it yourself occasionally."

"Yeah, I understand. You don't have to force yourself when it's inconvenient for you."

Tianxianma said caringly.

……

The next day, Xu Yuexin went to the labor market to look for a nanny.

"Boss, you are looking for a babysitter, right?"

At this time, a labor agency saw Xu Yuexin and immediately asked him.

Hey, you have a good eye. You can tell what you are here for at a glance.

Xu Yuexin took a look at the agent and found him quite interesting.

"Yes, I want to find a female nanny between the ages of 18 and 40. She must be efficient, hygienic and good at cooking. She must be able to take care of pregnant women and postpartum women, and she must be able to understand and speak Mandarin." Xu Yuexin listed all his requirements in one breath.

"Okay, I have several that meet the requirements. Please come with me."

The agent said with a flattering smile.

Xu Yuexin followed him, turning left and right, through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped at the entrance of an alley.

Is this thief Sun going to hit himself with a club?

Xu Yuexin felt a little alert and looked around.

It’s not that he is suspicious, but the public security these days has to be guarded against.

Fortunately, there were no suspicious people around, and the alley was not secluded. There were old men and women sitting on stools and chatting in front.

It should be safe here.

After confirming it, Xu Yuexin quickened his pace to catch up with the agent, walked into the alley with him, and then entered a yard.

"Limin Home Service Agency."

There was a wooden board hanging above the gate of the yard, on which were written several large, crooked characters written with a brush.

In the yard, there were a dozen women, young and old, gathered together, eating melon seeds and chatting.

"This one is Chunhua, and she completely meets your requirements."

After entering the door, the agent pointed to a young girl and said to Xu Yuexin, then turned to her, "Lai Chunhua, introduce yourself to Mr. Xu."

"Hello, boss."

The girl stood up timidly and said, "My name is Li Chunhua, and my home is in Yan Qing's place..."

Xu Yuexin listened to the girl's self-introduction and waited until she finished before speaking: "I have only one pregnant woman in my family who needs care. I'll pay 30 yuan a month. Would you like to do it?"

According to Li Chunhua's self-introduction, she has taken care of several women who had just given birth, which made Xu Yuexin very satisfied.

"Fuck, I'll do it."

Li Chunhua quickly said.

There are not so many requirements for nannies these days. Just come and assume that you have to take care of the employer's entire family.

Xu Yuexin only has one person to take care of here, and he is paid according to the market rate, which is a good job.

"Let's go then."

Xu Yuexin took out two banknotes from his pocket, handed them to the agent and said, "15 yuan, right?"

"Yep."

The middleman took the money, verified its authenticity and put it in his pocket.

The current practice in Beijing's labor introduction market is to pay the intermediary half a month's salary later.

"My wife is a dancer and usually has high standards for quality of life."

"Remember to be more meticulous when you do your work, so that she will be satisfied."

On the way back, Xu Yuexin explained to Chunhua.

"Don't worry, boss. When I was a little girl, my mother always praised me for my meticulous work."

Chunhua smiled naively.

After arriving home, Xu Yuexin brought Chunhua to Tianxian's mother and said that he would let her do any work in the future.

After such arrangements, Xu Yuexin felt that Tianxianma's daily life was basically settled.

Next is her subsequent medical treatment.

Xu Yuexin found Zhu Chen and asked her if she knew any excellent obstetricians.

"You asked the right person."

In Keyuan Community, Zhu Chen heard Xu Yuexin's question and answered, "My best classmate is studying obstetrics now."

"Is your wife pregnant?"

"No, a friend."

Xu Yuexin lowered his voice.

When Zhu Chen saw Xu Yuexin's expression, he immediately understood everything.

"you really……"

Zhu Chen gently reproached, "Are you ready?"

"Well, everything has been arranged. All that's left is to find a reliable doctor."

"No, I found you here."

Xu Yuexin met Zhu Chen's gaze frankly.
