About half an hour later, the doorbell rang.

A man in his thirties was wearing a cheap suit, a small back, and a cowhide briefcase that looked a little old.

Crossing your hands in front is a typical manifestation of restraint in psychology.

Behind him, he fell half a step.

A young woman with a cloth dress and hairpin, long hair, no makeup on her face, looks very pretty, but she is a little thinner, with fair skin, slightly lowered her head, and gently twisted the corners of her clothes with her fingers. This is a feeling of fear.

Lu Xiyan looks lazy in a simple dress with home clothes.

"You are Mr. Lu, my surname is Cui. Just call me Xiao Cui." The man in the suit walked into the living room, stood beside him, and introduced himself very restrainedly.

"Mr. Cui, right? You look a little older than me. It's not appropriate to call you Xiao Cui, so call you Mr. Cui." Lu Xiyan nodded lightly, "Please sit down, I don't have so many rules at home."

"Thank you!"

"Miss, please sit down, too."

"Thank you." He Xiaofen nodded and sat down on the sofa.

"That's right, Mr. Lu, according to the requirements made by your housekeeper to our intermediary company, we found that this lady named He Xiaofen is very qualified. So, today I will bring it to you to see if it can be used. If it can be used, please stay. If it cannot be used, we will find a suitable one for you." The manager surnamed Cui explained.

"Well, I know all of this. What I need is a person who is diligent and honest. In addition, cooking food that suits our taste is the most important thing. Isn't a person living like eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, and sleeping? Eating, drinking and eating, so my requirements are the highest in this regard." Lu Xiyan said.

"I understand, understand, Xiao He, hurry up, introduce yourself to Mr. Lu." Manager Cui ordered.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, my name is He Xiaofen, from Wuxian, Suzhou, I am 24 years old this year..."

"Well, look at your outfit, you should be married. Do you have children?" Lu Xiyan asked.

"I'm married, my husband is not at home, I'm away all year round, and I'm rarely going home all year round. I have a daughter, who is six years old this year, and I'm with me."

It was soft and soft, and the sound was quite nice.

"Touch your hand out for me to see." Lu Xiyan ordered.

He Xiaofen was a little at a loss and didn't understand why Lu Xiyan had to look at what her hands were doing.

Manager Cui next to him urged: "What are you looking at? Hurry up and stretch out your hand to Mr. Lu to take a look."

"Ms. He, don't get me wrong. You can tell at a glance that these hands that work and those that don't work are just a pair of hands that work." Lu Xiyan explained.

He Xiaofen understood and stretched out her hands full of calluses. These hands were not very compatible with her age.

"Okay, I saw it, Ms. He, you can stay." Lu Xiyan nodded, "Mr. Cui, I want to leave someone to try it out. If it is appropriate, I will have someone send the agency fee tomorrow, is it okay?"

"No, there is no problem. What do you say do." Manager Cui nodded quickly and said, "Those who live on Fukaisen Road are either rich or noble, will they be short of your agency fees?

What's more, if you can get along with a little, you will be able to make a fortune in the future.

"Xiao He, Mr. Lu promised to try you, you won't thank Mr. Lu."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, thank you, Mr. Lu." He Xiaofen realized that he had succeeded in the interview with "maids".

"Create a meal tonight, let me see your skills first?"

"Mr. Lu, I'm afraid it won't work now?"

“Why?”

"I have a daughter who is alone at home. I told her that she would be scared if she came out for an hour and when she went back late, she would be afraid." He Xiaofen explained.

"Did you lock her at home alone?" Lu Xiyan asked.

"Yes, Mr. Lu, I really don't dare..." He Xiaofen explained.

There is a crime of trafficking in Shanghai. "Moving stones" refers to trafficking in boys, and "picking mulberry leaves" means girls.

There are a considerable number of unsolved cases of children missing in the French Concession every year, and most of them are abducted by these people and sent to other places or abroad.

If a little girl is at home, it is really dangerous if the adult is not around. If you lock it at home, it is probably a last resort.

"Well, it's understandable. In this way, after a while, you follow my driver and take the child over. If you work with me in the future, there will definitely be no one to take care of the child."

"Mr. Lu, are you willing to let me take the child over and live with you?"

"Yes, as long as you do well, I don't lack rooms here." Lu Xiyan said.

"Xiao He, you are lucky. Mr. Lu is so good at home, I'm afraid there are not many people in Shanghai." Manager Cui said enviously.

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Lu." He Xiaofen burst into tears.

Ma Xiaowu is back from buying groceries.

Lu Xiyan explained and asked him to drive He Xiaofen to take her and her daughter first. As for other things, I will talk about them later.

Nannan is a cute little girl, very quiet, with her eyes that look like Gu Xiaobai, and her skin is more like that of her mother, and she is very likable.

"Nannan..."

"Uncle Monkey?" Yan Lei was shocked when he saw Nannan, and Nannan also recognized Yan Lei. He was the one who took He Xiaofen and his daughter to the prison to pick up Gu Xiaobai.

"Yan Lei, do you know each other?" Lu Xiyan certainly knew that they knew each other, but he just pretended that I didn't know.

"Sir, we are fellow villagers." Yan Lei immediately reacted. This seemed to be a trick to control Gu Xiaobai.

"Oh, that's a coincidence. Today, the agency said that he had found a suitable servant and brought Nannan's mother over. Unexpectedly, you were actually fellow villagers." Lu Xiyan asked.

Meng Fanxing's love for Nannan is far more than Lu Xiyan. She saw Nannan as soon as she entered the door, although she had not yet figured out how this little girl came from.

But after listening to the conversation between Lu Xiyan and Yan Lei, she understood that this little girl was the daughter of a servant who had just hired at home.

A cute little girl.

When someone cooks and does housework for her, Meng Fanxing has more time to study and do other things. Although she still feels that this kind of life is not in line with her beliefs when she opens her hands and mouth when she opens her mouth.

However, Lu Xiyan still convinced her that the revolutionary division of labor was different. Although He Xiaofen was a servant at home, they did not regard her as a servant. Her wages were generous and her treatment was not bad.

The only difference is that He Xiaofen works for their family, and aren’t the workers in the factory also work for capitalists?

It makes sense wherever you pay the labor and get paid. If you insist on saying that this is exploitation, then as long as you hire someone to work, it is the exploiting class.

If you want a scientist to squeeze out time every day to deal with food, rice, oil and salt, then will he spend less time on scientific research?

By the same token, if you occasionally go to the kitchen, it is a joy of life. Spending time on the kitchen and housework every day is definitely not in line with economics.

"Xiao He, the meal is ready, eat together, call Nannan over, and gather a table to eat together to have fun." Lu Xiyan ordered.

"No, sir, I am a servant, so how can I have a meal with my master at the same table?"

"What kind of servants? There are no servants or servants in my family. The relationship between master and servants in the past has been abolished by me. I understand." Lu Xiyan said.

"Sir, it's still not necessary. I'll eat in the kitchen later." He Xiaofen insisted on not serving.

Lu Xiyan had no choice but to be stubborn. Although He Xiaofen did not eat with Lu Xiyan and the others, Nannan was carried by Meng Fanxing and sat beside her.

"Nannan, eat more meat, and you can grow your body." Meng Fanxing kept picking up vegetables, fish, chicken and vegetables for her in the bowl.

"Thank you Aunt Fanxing." Nannan said hard as she clamped the rice in the bowl.

"Brother Anzi, does this child have a big name?"

"I don't know yet, just call Xiao He over and ask." Lu Xiyan really didn't know Nannan's name, "Xiao He, Xiao He, come on..."

"Here, sir." He Xiaofen hurriedly ran out of the kitchen.

"Xiao He, Nannan is six years old. She is at the age of going to school. Does she have a big name?" Lu Xiyan asked in the name of "going to school".

"Yes, my husband's surname is Gu, and Nannan's name is Gu Xiaohui." He Xiaofen said.

"Xiaohui, this name is good. It turns out that our daughter is Gu Xiaohui." Lu Xiyan said, "Xiaohe, should Xiaohui go to school?"

He Xiaofen lowered his head embarrassedly.

"Meimei, you can help with this. Qihua Girls' School has a kindergarten. You can arrange for Nannan to go there. If the tuition and fees are paid, we will pay." Lu Xiyan said.

"Well, I'll tell Sister Liying that it should be fine to complete the admission procedures." Meng Fanxing said that Lu Xiyan is the director of Qihua Girls' School.

This is not a matter of one sentence. If it were a boy, it would definitely not work. Nannan is a girl, and there is no problem at all.

"Thank you, sir, madam, I thank you for Nannan." He Xiaofen knelt down excitedly on the spot.

"Xiao He, Xiao He, don't do this, get up quickly, I'm just a small task, don't do this, we can't stand it." Lu Xiyan hurriedly stood up and helped He Xiaofen up.

"Sir, I will do my best to live up to your and your wife's kindness to me and Nannan." He Xiaofen lowered his head and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Yan Lei, after dinner, you can arrange the room of Xiao He and Nannan and explain what you should explain. From now on, Xiao He and Nannan will live in our house." Lu Xiyan ordered.

The most important thing about a home is people. If you don’t have popularity, can it be considered a home?

"Yes, sir."

...

"Nannan, can you go upstairs with Aunt Fanxing to visit?"

Nannan glanced at her mother, He Xiaofen nodded slightly, and then she went upstairs with Meng Fanxing, which also relieved Meng Fanxing a lot. The little girl's tutor is quite good.

"He Xiaofen, tell you that we are fellow villagers now. You'd better not mention anything before to anyone. Do you understand?" Yan Lei said to He Xiaofen seriously after closing the door.

"I know, Mr. Yan."

"Don't be too nervous, this family is very good. I have no other purpose in doing things in the Lu family." Yan Lei said, "Mr. Lu is my benefactor of Brother Tan and I. I work in the Lu family, on the one hand, to protect his and Miss Meng's safety, and on the other hand, to repay kindness, do you understand?"

"I understand, is my job also arranged by Mr. Tan?" He Xiaofen asked.

"You know, but don't say it out loud. Remember, in the Lu family, keep your duty. Mr. Lu and Miss Meng are both rare good people in the world. If you dare to do anything bad, you should know the consequences." Yan Lei said.

"I understand that Mr. Lu and his wife are very well-educated and are good to Nannan. I am not the kind of ungrateful person." He Xiaofen said.

"It's good if you know it. I tell you, this room is for you. Nannan can sleep with you or put a small bed. It's okay. The study on the second floor does not need to be cleaned every day. If necessary, you must be in the presence of me. The driver Ma Xiaowu is the assistant of the gentleman, and he is also an agent in the police station. Our gentleman has many identities, a surgeon at Guangci Hospital, a senior consultant at the legal arrest room, and a school manager of Qihua Girls' School, etc. What you hear and see is best in your heart. Don't tell anyone, do you understand?"

"clear."

"In addition, if you find anything abnormal or something that is not good for your husband, you must tell me in time. If you can't find me, you can also tell Ma Xiaowu. However, you must not go directly to your husband. Do you remember?"

"Remember, Mr. Yan." He Xiaofen nodded.

"From the future, call me Butler Yan at home." Yan Lei said lightly.

"Yes, Butler Yan."
