Reborn in the red age

The couple traveled across half of the city and came to the "March 8th Housekeeping Service Company" on Qianmen Street.

This company has a great background. It is the first housekeeping service company in New Taipei City established by the Women's Federation, commonly known as a nanny agency.

The couple got out of the car, stood at the door and looked at the simple gate, then stepped into the courtyard.

The agency is very busy. There are many well-dressed middle-aged people waiting in line in the yard. They are all looking for a nanny.

"Tsk tsk tsk, life is finally getting better. More and more people can afford to hire a nanny now," Li Qingfeng said in a low voice to Hu Jiabao while looking at the long line.

Hu Jiabao was looking carefully at the nanny employment regulations on the notice board and said nonchalantly, "There are more and more rich people. With money in hand, there are naturally more people who want to be lazy."

"That makes sense, but why don't we go to the labor market? They also hire nannies there, without having to pay an introduction fee or wait in line."

"There are good and bad nannies in that place, so it's better to be reliable than an agency. At least the nannies here have complete files and clean backgrounds, so there's no need to worry about the safety of the children."

"Okay, you have the final say"

After waiting in line at the agency for half an hour, the couple successfully entered an office that was converted from a wing.

After introducing each other, staff member Ms. Hu listened carefully to Hu Jiabao's needs and quickly took out a few resumes from the file bag and handed them to Hu Jiabao.

You know what, they do it quite legally, and they make a good deal of the agency fee. Their resumes contain all the necessary information, including almost all the services they have provided, even the comments of the previous client.

Hu Jiabao was in charge of all household affairs, and Li Qingfeng could only read the resumes that Hu Jiabao had read.

After flipping through a few resumes, Qingfeng Li asked curiously, "Sister Hu, the addresses on these resumes are all in the same county. Aren't there any nannies from other places?"

"Is this the first time your family is looking for a nanny?" Sister Hu looked at Li Qingfeng with a smile.

This question made Li Qingfeng confused. It was his first time to find a nanny. Could it have anything to do with the fact that the nanny's registered residence was in the same place as him?

Although he felt strange, Qingfeng Li still answered honestly, "Yes, it's the first time."

"That's right. Most of the nannies I recommend to you are from Wuwei County. If you have ever had experience in looking for a nanny, you will know that Wuwei's nannies are the best. In our company, Wuwei's nannies are very popular," Sister Hu explained to Li Qingfeng with a smile.

Wuwei County is located in the south-central part of Anhui Province, on the northern bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Although the land is fertile, the local people have always lived in poverty due to the large population and limited land.

After the reform and opening up, young people in Wuwei County began to leave their hometowns and move to the big cities they had longed for. Among them, many chose to go all the way north and came to Sijiucheng.

Most of these people who came from afar had low educational qualifications. After arriving in the old city, there were not many industries for them to choose from, and they eventually settled in the service industry. Nanny was the choice of most girls.

According to statistics, in the 5.5s, there were about Wuwei women working as nannies in big cities such as Beijing, and there was a saying that "the capital's nannies are in Anhui Province, and Anhui Province's nannies are in Wuwei."

After listening to the staff's explanation, Qingfeng Li nodded in understanding and recalled the domestic movies he had watched a few years ago.

It seems that the movie tells the story of Nanny Wuwei in Beijing.

Hu Jiabao kept listening with his ears perked up, thinking that since everyone said it was good, he would just follow their choice.

He immediately pulled out three resumes and said he wanted to take a look at the three people on the resumes and have a simple interview.

Sister Hu didn't waste any time. She put the remaining resumes back into the file bag and led the couple to the backyard.

The backyard was bustling with activity, and many people were interviewing babysitters.

Sister Hu asked the two to sit on the benches in the open air while she went to call people with the resumes.

Soon, three girls in simple clothes followed.

Li Qingfeng looked at the three young girls in their teens and 18s standing behind Sister Hu, and then looked at Hu Jiabao.

Hiss, is Hu Jiabao so confident in himself? He chose a young girl instead of an aunt as a nanny!
Li Qingfeng's eyes were rolling around, so Hu Jiabao couldn't hide it. While they were still some distance away, Hu Jiabao said with a fake smile, "Are you happy to hire a young and beautiful nanny? Are you touched?"

"I dare not move, I dare not move." Li Qingfeng smiled awkwardly and waved his hands quickly.

Hu Jiabao snorted arrogantly, and without saying anything else, he stood up, took a step forward, and greeted him politely.

The two have lived together for so many years that they naturally know each other very well. When it comes to lifestyle issues, Hu Jiabao still trusts Li Qingfeng very much.

Therefore, when choosing a nanny, the issue of youth and beauty is not considered.

If Hu Jiabao knew about the existence of the little mixed-race girl, he would probably choose an older aunt over 40 years old.

"Comrade Hu, Comrade Li, although these three are young, they are all very experienced and have at least two working experiences. They are good at washing clothes, cooking, and taking care of children." Sister Hu pulled the three of them to stand in front of the couple and spoke well of them.

After looking at the appearance of the three people, Hu Jiabao nodded with satisfaction. They looked honest and well-behaved children, so he should have no problem taking care of the two children.

After Hu Jiabao briefly chatted with the three girls for a while, he chose one of them named Cai Genhua.

Li Qingfeng, who was standing next to him, looked strange when he heard the name Cai Genhua.

Cai Genhua, Xiao Cai, isn’t this the name of a nanny in a TV series in later generations?

For some reason, Qingfeng Li kept thinking, 'What does he want from you? Because you're old? Because you don't take a shower?'

Is there another Su Daqiang working at a school in Gusu now?
After selecting the nanny, Hu Jiabao started to sign the contract and go through the formalities. After paying Cai Genhua an agency fee of 30 yuan, which was half a month's salary, he smoothly left the housekeeping service company with Cai Genhua, who had already packed her luggage.

These days, nannies are low-income earners and their monthly salary is not high.

The market price is around 50 yuan, but you can also find ones for 40 yuan. Fortunately, the host provides food and accommodation, so there is not much extra expense and you can save money.

In other words, his family was not short of money, and the girl was just what Hu Jiabao liked. So after the other party offered 60 yuan, Hu Jiabao did not bargain and agreed immediately, which made the girl very happy.

She excitedly went to the backyard to pack her luggage, as if she was afraid that Hu Jiabao would change his mind. As a girl from the countryside, it was her first time to ride in a car. Sitting in the back seat, Cai Genhua was very reserved and sat very still, not daring to move, for fear that she would damage the parts of the car.

Hu Jiabao noticed Cai Genhua's reservedness through the rearview mirror and tried to calm her nerves. He smiled and said, "Xiao Cai, are you eighteen years old this year?"

"Yes, in three months, I will be eighteen years old."

"I saw on your resume that you have two years of work experience and came to work in Sijiu City when you were sixteen."

"Well, I followed the villagers here after I graduated from junior high school."

After chatting, Cai Genhua's reservedness eased a lot, and when she was about to arrive at school, she was already talking and laughing with Hu Jiabao.

Looking at the school gate, Cai Genhua said in surprise: "Teacher Li, Sister Jiabao, aren't you going home? Why are you here at school?"

"Your brother Li is a teacher at the school, and our home is inside the school staff quarters," Hu Jiabao explained with a smile.

When at the agency, Li Qingfeng only said that his profession was a teacher, but did not specify which school he was from.

Looking at Cai Genhua's admiring eyes through the rearview mirror, Li Qingfeng straightened his back unconsciously.

After parking the car downstairs and getting in the elevator, Li Qingfeng asked Hu Jiabao to take Cai Genhua home first, while he went to the third floor to pick up his own children.

After sending the child to the eighth floor, Li Qingfeng did not interfere with the rest of the matter. Hu Jiabao was naturally responsible for teaching Cai Genhua the main tasks and precautions.

After Li Qingfeng went downstairs, he went straight to Zhongguancun Electronics Street, intending to see how Li Hongmei was doing and when she would go home for the New Year.
"Brother, you're here. Let me pour you a glass of water." Li Hongmei, who was sitting bored at the counter, saw Li Qingfeng coming in and stood up weakly to pour hot water.

Li Qingfeng was not surprised to see Li Hongmei's listless look. She had been in this state for a long time since she opened the store.
Warming his hands in the enamel pot, Li Qingfeng asked casually, "Where's Sun Qian? Why isn't he in the store?"

"A private company needed to install computers, so he went out to install the machines for them."

"Wow, if I sell a computer and a bunch of miscellaneous software, I should make at least 500 or 600 yuan from this order."

Li Hongmei smiled bitterly: "Yes, I can earn 500 or 600 yuan, but what's the use? We got this order by luck. Usually the store is deserted and we can't make much money."

Compared with the past, the shortage of materials in the market has been alleviated a lot. Even in 87, household appliances such as electric fans had been squeezed and a situation of oversupply had emerged.

This year's panic buying was too crazy. People were scrambling for supplies like crazy, using up their family savings to buy up all the products squeezed out of the factories.

All the money in their pockets has turned into supplies, and ordinary people who have no money naturally have to start living frugally.

It can be said that domestic society has not recovered since the panic buying storm.

From businesses to ordinary people and private vendors, life is not easy for everyone, and a gloomy and tense atmosphere permeates the entire country.

Some time ago, at the beginning of 89, the national newspaper published an editorial entitled "Unity and Hard Work".

We have encountered unprecedented serious problems, the most prominent of which is the obvious inflation in economic life and the excessive increase in prices.
When Li Qingfeng first read this editorial, he was quite shocked.

Li Qingfeng, who came from later generations, could more deeply understand the difficulties faced by the country at that time and the resilience of the people.

After all, as the newspaper said, nothing can go smoothly all the time, nothing can be done with just one change, the main thing is to learn lessons and sum up experience.

"Brother, do you think I am not suitable for going into business? Business was so good in the first half of the year and I could make money by doing anything. How come the market has become like this as soon as we started?" Li Hongmei was already a little autistic at this time. She held her chin with her hands and began to doubt herself.

Seeing Li Hongmei like this, Li Qingfeng couldn't help laughing and patiently explained to her the reasons for the sluggish market: "In the first half of the year, prices rose, and people were bullish, fearing that their savings would depreciate, so there was a rush to buy, and they wanted to spend their money quickly."

"Prices are now under control and have started to fall. Coupled with the price increases in the first half of the year, people's wallets have been emptied, which has led to the current market economic downturn."

"Oh, I was thinking, should I go back to my hometown and take over my father's disc printing factory? It would be nice to be the factory manager back home."

"."

Li Hongmei, who had studied at university, did not major in economics, but she knew some principles of economics. She understood what Li Qingfeng said, but she doubted herself because of the bad business.
Just as the brother and sister were chatting, Sun Qian, who had been out installing computers for someone, ran in excitedly.

While running to the store, he shouted: "Wife, wife, I have an idea for a profitable business."

Hearing Sun Qian's shout, the brother and sister both looked towards the direction where the voice came from.

At this time, Sun Qian also noticed Li Qingfeng, scratched his head awkwardly, and greeted Li Qingfeng embarrassedly: "Third brother, you are here"

"What kind of profitable business is this? Tell me about it." Before Li Qingfeng could speak, Li Hongmei suddenly jumped out from behind the counter.

Li Qingfeng was also curiously waiting for Sun Qian's answer, wanting to see what way this science and engineering man had found to make money.

"I am installing computers for people today. I understand that many people in China don't understand computers and don't know how to use them. Especially in the workplace, so many computers are just for show, gathering dust, and at most they are used to play games."

"When I was installing the machines for people, I was thinking, since people in our country don't know how to use computers, can I train them? Teach them how to use computers and various computer software."

Sun Qian did not waste any time and immediately told him the way to make money that he had thought of today.

After listening to Sun Qian's idea, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but nodded. This was indeed a way, and it was also a super blue ocean market.

Because Li Qingfeng previously worked on PCs, there are now a large number of computers in use in China.

Although most of them are in government agencies, the use of computers in private enterprises has gradually increased since highly educated talents went into business.

If you have a computer, you need someone to operate it. Otherwise, why spend more than ten thousand dollars to buy a machine?

This kid Sun Qian is really a talented guy.

He found the track. (End of this chapter)
