Fang Ya immediately started making arrangements.
Because of the special situation at home, Fang Ya did not dare to hire anyone from outside.
Hence, Fang Ya looked for the large woman again.
With her connections, it would not be difficult.
Sure enough, in less than half a day, they found a suitable candidate.
This person was none other than one of her sister-in-laws.
Because she had just entered the city from the countryside, this little girl was only 16 or 17 years old and had yet to find a suitable job.
Just as she was worried about how to settle down, the large woman had introduced her to this job as a nanny.
“Don’t blame me for looking out for my own people. This child has been an honest child since young. She is hardworking and diligent.” The large woman held the little girl’s hand and said to Fang Ya.
Fang Ya looked at the little girl whose face was a little tanned and rosy. She nodded and said, “You’ve come highly recommended.”
The little girl seemed to be a little shy. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Fang Ya. “Sister, I’ll work hard. Please don’t despise me.”
Fang Ya smiled at the little girl and asked, “What’s your name?”
“Mingxia,” the little girl said softly. “My mother said that Xia means beautiful.”
Fang Ya looked at Mingxia and smiled. “Yes! You’re very pretty!”
Mingxia’s shy little face turned even rosier.
Fang Ya asked Mingxia, “Did you go to school?”
Mingxia lowered her head in embarrassment.
The large woman sighed. “My family is poor, so none of us are able to go to school past the second grade.”
Fang Ya nodded and did not say anything.
Her own circumstances were not good either. At the very least, she had obtained a junior college degree.
Fang Ya thought for a moment and said, “Work hard here. I’ll arrange for you to go to school. How about it?”
Mingxia looked at Fang Ya in surprise. “Really? Can I go to school again?”
Fang Ya smiled. “You’re still young. Why aren’t you going to school?”
Mingxia wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Fang Ya, but was stopped by Fang Ya and the large woman.
Fang Ya wanted to speak, but the large woman spoke first. “Fang Ya doesn’t need such courtesy!
“You just have to remember to repay her kindness and work hard at her place!” The large woman emphasized again.
Mingxia nodded heavily and said, “I will!”
Shao Xiang also liked Mingxia very much when she saw her.
Although this girl was not tall and her skin color was a little dark, she was really a beauty.
Han Qiao’s first reaction when she saw Mingxia was a little conflicted.
Fang Ya did not know if Mingxia’s beauty made Han Qiao feel uncomfortable or if it was something else.
However, because they were living in Fang Ya’s house, Han Qiao did not say much.
Tang Tang cautiously approached Mingxia, wanting to greet her.
Mingxia seemed to be very good at taking care of children, so after a while, she had already grown familiar with Tang Tang.
He Peng acted like an adult, so he did not interact much with Mingxia.
The whole family welcomed Mingxia’s arrival.
Fang Ya explained the situation to He Feng, who had no objections. He just reminded Fang Ya to pay attention to Mingxia’s behavior in the early stages.
The large woman was trustworthy, but Mingxia had just come from the countryside. Even the large woman’s family was watching her closely.
Fang Ya remembered He Feng’s words and did not let her guard down.
Mingxia worked meticulously and diligently as the large woman had said.
Every morning, she would run to the kitchen to boil water and cook.
Because Fang Ya’s house had just recently started using a gas tank, Mingxia was not familiar with it. At first, she was so anxious that she cried in the kitchen.
Shao Xiang saw this and felt both amused and distressed.
She patiently explained the usage of the gas tank to Mingxia, and helped Mingxia quickly familiarize herself with the various household chores at home.
Two days passed like this. With Mingxia’s company, Shao Xiang’s mood seemed to improve.
