Chapter 1266 1266. Granny Lotus’s Abacus
Liu Ning saw what Liu Liu said and sighed helplessly: "It's been raining these days and it's inconvenient to take care of the children. When the rain stops, we'll just do it for an hour or two at night, and you can stop taking care of the children."
“The child doesn’t get enough rest, and you are tired too.”
Liu Liu was a little confused: "She is only half a year old. It is not safe to sleep alone... I am also very skilled at working with children on my back."
Liu Ning had never raised a child before, so she didn't know about such a worried attitude, but seeing Liu Liu's persistence, she didn't say anything.
On the other hand, Aunt Lianhua’s mother-in-law, who was also having dinner nearby, heard this and slowly swallowed the rotten pork ribs that had been stewed, and then said:
“Xiao Liu, it’s not a problem for you to take care of your children like this.”
The old lady is now fat and white, with a friendly face, and she has a natural affinity when she speaks.
The Liu Liu siblings immediately calmed down and listened to her patiently.
As an old woman who has raised children, Grandma Lianhua’s experience is much more sincere:
“You have to carry your child on your back when working. I have done this all the time. In the summer, you have to work in the fields even if you carry your child on your back. Both of you almost died in the sun..."
“But there was nothing you could do about it at that time. Every household was suffering like this. It would be a bit silly for you to do this now that conditions are better.”
Liu Liu's face turned a little red: "I..."
“I” didn’t know what to say for a long time, and finally I could only emphasize repeatedly:
"I will definitely not delay my work. They all say that I work very quickly."
“It’s not a matter of delay or not.”
Grandma Lianhua patiently gave her guidance: "It takes three hours to collect vegetables on the mountain, but two hours to increase the number of people. In fact, it's not a big problem. I set this time because I was afraid of delays on the road."
"You really have to be slower. If you work for three hours, the salary will still be the same."
“But it’s spring now. You can wrap the child thickly and carry it on your back to work. But what about summer?”
The old lady looked tolerant: "Let's not talk about the sun during the day, but what do you do about the mosquitoes at night? You can bear it as an adult, but a tender child on your back is bitten by mosquitoes in this vegetable field. You Can you bear it?”
Children have tender flesh and are full of mosquito bites, especially Ranran, who is thin and small. What mother doesn’t feel distressed?
Liu Liu’s eyes were red.
Liu Ning was calmer than her. At this moment, she quickly asked: "Mother-in-law, what do you think my sister should do?"
Grandma Lianhua then said:
“You two are still young people, so why don’t you know how to use high technology?”
She took out her mobile phone proudly: "I have a network at home. Buy a surveillance camera and point it at the bed. Then follow Qiaoqiao's example and buy a mobile phone holder to put the mobile phone in the vegetable field."
“You are working, and the surveillance footage is playing on your phone. What can’t you understand?”
At this point, Granny Lianhua’s tone changed, and she also gave careful guidance to this inexperienced mother:
“Oh, you have to carry the child on your back and make him miserable to feel comfortable?”
“Then if I were the boss, I wouldn’t be too shy to hire you. We’re hiring workers, not nannies.”
Liu Liu’s face turned red.
But Granny Lianhua’s painting style changed:
"If the people under surveillance are really anxious, why don't I still sleep at home, old lady? I don't think it's worth it. Just give me a call and I'll take a look."
“If you really need me, wouldn’t it be a good idea for you to bring two cartons of milk over later?”
Grandma Lianhua is a fashionable old lady who can already search for knitting patterns on the Internet. The electric wheelchair is intelligently controlled and the toilet is a smart toilet. Nowadays she is very different from the people in the village! He also speaks sonorously and forcefully, and is particularly confident.
Instead, Liu Liu was even more ashamed: "Why didn't I think of that before?"
“There’s no use even thinking about it.”
Liu Ning said calmly from the side:
“What kind of job do you work in that allows you to watch the surveillance camera all the time? And if something happens, you can fly back immediately?”
Liu Liu: ...That's true.
However, I have to say that at this moment, when she lowered her head and glanced at Ran Ran, whose face was full of flowers after eating a piece of radish, her anxious heart calmed down.
Granny Lianhua actually feels full of accomplishment because the people she teaches are so enlightened, but at this moment she still wants to emphasize:
"I'm not talking about your two cartons of milk. I don't lack those things. Old lady, I can make money and get a salary."
"Huh?" With Liu Liu's honest character, she never thought of going up to this.
Liu Ning laughed instead: "Mother-in-law, I know, I've heard of it! I heard that when you were making straw mats, you earned more than 8,000 a month!"
"That's not possible!" This was what Grandma Lianhua was waiting for. Looking at Liu Liu's shocked eyes, she became even more upright in her wheelchair.
Then he cleared his throat reservedly:
“More than 8,000 is not worth much. I just know a little more tricks. I have learned a few more this year—but Xiao Liu!”
This was Liu Liu, and she subconsciously said "Hey".
"Don't be discouraged. Don't think that a salary of more than 1,000 is not high. Take a look at your body and bones. You need to make up your foundation first."
“Old Song family in our village have work from spring to winter. You are hard-working and quick at work, but if your body cannot support it, people are afraid that you will fall ill and have to pay for it at your job!”
"If I were you, I would have to hold another bowl of meat, three meals a day and midnight snacks - if you can do this for half a month, you can be a tea picker."
"By the way, you can hire me to look after the children during the day in the spring - the material for weaving straw mats has not been harvested, so I am free at the moment."
Siblings: “…”
what to do? Suddenly I felt that this old lady was so powerful and what she said made sense!
Liu Liu was excited even before she became a tea picker. At this moment, she asked in a low voice:
“Then, what’s the salary?”
The old lady raised her lips: "I know you don't have any money. If you really do it too meticulously, you won't be able to afford the salary. Otherwise, this would be better -"
“I am responsible for looking after the child, feeding the child milk powder, and changing clothes and diapers—this cannot be omitted. The milk powder is definitely more nutritious than your breastfeeding. Look at your own face, which is sallow.”
“Also, don’t use that diaper, buy diapers instead. Otherwise, if you have to wash and dry them, you might as well make money!”
“Then it’s time for dinner. Take her to the cafeteria to wait for you. You can give her the salary. Are you willing to pay 1,000?”
Liu Liu’s heart was pounding. She didn’t know why she was so excited!
Grandma Lianhua also clenched her fists nervously - although she is confident that she will earn more this summer, she will be idle in the spring... Earning a thousand or eight hundred dollars is not a waste!
Including the rent of the old house and the money from growing and selling vegetables, you can probably earn more than 2,000 yuan a month. Why is this not working?
She can still find time to tidy up the vegetable patch!
The little old lady became energetic when she thought about it.
