"Now you know it's not easy to make money, right?"
Yuan Feiyan picked up the cup and drank water, and heard her mother nagging while cooking.
She blinked and said nothing.
Then my mother started nagging again: "Being a nanny is a job that requires a lot of patience. You must be careful!"
"Children around three years old are difficult to take care of and are very energetic. However, they are always past the age of pooping and peeing."
Yuan Feiyan was silent for a moment. Is Li Chenghuan energetic? It seems okay, after all, I have to play with the Rubik's Cube for a long time every day, but most of the time I am sleeping.
Then my mother talked about coaxing them to sleep again. In her opinion, these are valuable experiences: "You have to learn to coax them to sleep. As long as they sleep, you can save a lot of trouble. Of course, this matter is not that big." It’s easy, but you need to pay attention to skills…”
Barla Barla talked about a bunch of techniques for coaxing children to sleep.
Yuan Feiyan was silent for a while.
She thought of Li Chenghuan, who was only awake for a few hours every day. In fact, he slept most of the time. She even told him stories enthusiastically several times, but he became impatient and said, "Sister, It’s time to sleep!”
How could there be such an obedient baby in this world?
Happiness and misfortune are all contrasted. If she had never taken care of other children before, she would not have such an intuitive feeling.
The younger brothers and sisters I brought up before, generally speaking, had a lot to do.
When you are awake, you accidentally run into some scary place, or you jump up and down, rummaging through boxes and cabinets. It is very difficult to let them sleep. In short, it is really tiring to take care of children.
The mother watched Yuan Feiyan remain silent and laughed secretly. This child must have realized that it is not easy to make money taking care of children. After all, working as a nanny for the purpose of making money is different from the younger siblings who helped take care of relatives before. It will definitely be a lot more tiring.
This is very good, letting her know that it was not easy to raise her when she was born, and she can mature faster by comparing her feelings with her own.
Ha ha.
Then Yuan Feiyan's mother gave a few more instructions, which were nothing more than to be patient, careful, and not to be afraid of trouble. Yuan Feiyan listened to all the gossip for a long time and suddenly said: "Every day is so boring..."
Her mother was stunned, "Huh?"
Yuan Feiyan sighed slightly and said no more.
I have never met a child who is so easy to take care of. It's so easy. It's really unreliable to make money like this.
Yuan Feiyan couldn't help but think of the scene where Li Chenghuan played with the Rubik's Cube and recited ancient poems.
There are really geniuses in this world...
…
"Run! Run!"
Shu Lan, who was on the sidelines of the court, put on a pair of sportswear. She looked strong and strong, with stern eyes. After entering work mode, she was completely different from how she was at home.
The players on the court all moved quickly, but they did not dare to be lazy in front of Shu Lan and conscientiously completed the training arranged by the coach.
After a few rounds, Shulan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's take a rest."
Then Song Jie, a staff member of the Culture and Sports Bureau, handed over a bottle of drink and said, "Sister Shu, our team will be different as soon as you come!"
Shu Lan shook her head modestly, "It's not that exaggerated. We all have good backgrounds. Me coming here is just the icing on the cake."
"Sister Shu, please stop being modest. It's different after being in the provincial team. Although everyone's personal abilities were pretty good in the past, to put it bluntly, they were just stragglers. It was okay to fight alone, but there was still no structure for actually playing the game. As soon as you come here Why, in just a few days, they suddenly seemed like a different team!"
Shu Lan had a smile in her eyes, which showed that she was very grateful for the flattery in her heart. She coughed twice and said, "It's not that exaggerated!"
Song Jie continued: "Well, if you were here last year, we definitely wouldn't lose."
Shu Lan became a little embarrassed after hearing this, and deliberately changed the subject, "By the way, Song Jie, how old is your baby?"
She knew that Song Jie had been married for four or five years and her baby was probably that big.
These two moms like to communicate most when they are together.
When Song Jie heard this, she became interested and said, "My son will start kindergarten in September. He is four years old."
Shu Lan blinked: "Wow, you're in kindergarten! I really envy you..."
Song Jie sighed, "Why are you envious? I used to be like you, thinking that it would be fine if he went to school. But when he actually went to kindergarten, I started to worry about whether he would adapt to school, eat well, and sleep well. Things like whether it’s good or not…”
Shu Lan said: "Hey, hey, this is my fate as a mother. I chose to become a mother. In this life, I can't think about my children."
Song Jie nodded, happily complained about the difficulty of raising children, and then asked: "By the way, Sister Shu, how old is your baby?"
A happy smile appeared on Shulan's face, "She has just turned three."
"Three years old?" Song Jie smiled: "Aren't you in kindergarten yet?"
"Well, I will send him to a small class next year. It will be better for him to study when he is older."
"Haha, do you want to send a first child or a second child?"
"Where's your baby?"
"You are still young."
"Isn't it easy to get in?"
"It's okay, the tuition is a little higher, and there are few places, but you have a good relationship with our Director Zhang, ask her for help..."
The two chatted here and there, talking about preschool education, bedwetting, coaxing to sleep, feeding, illness and other messy topics. Most of the time, Song Jie was complaining. It could be heard that although she was satisfied, raising a child was not enough for her. It is indeed a hard job.
This was not the first time Shulan had discussed these topics with other mothers, nor was it the first time she had heard similar words. She listened and nodded in response, but she had little empathy for most of the content.
In fact, there are some doubts. In her memory, it was indeed a bit hard before the age of two, especially when the child was not weaned.
But from about the age of two and a half, the child suddenly has nothing to worry about.
How can we spend as much time with our babies every day as they say?
It's nothing more than getting up every morning to help the baby get dressed, feed him, coax him to sleep, and take him for a walk together.
Well, it only takes 3 minutes to get dressed and three meals to feed, which adds up to less than 30 minutes, right? And to put me to sleep, um, I fell asleep by singing a song.
The rest of the time, just throw him on a playmat with enough toys and he'll be able to play with himself all afternoon.
And they always say how painful it is to feed and how difficult it is to coax them to sleep. In particular, many mothers say that their children start flying around at night.
In short, it is difficult.
Shu Lan thought to herself, are they too pretentious? Well... we shouldn't speculate like this, that's...
Although they are somewhat narcissistic, there is no doubt that it is probably because they have not mastered the art of raising children.
Coaxing children to eat and sleep requires a certain method.
Also, I am particular about the toys I buy. For example, if I buy toys for my baby, he likes them very much.
Shu Lan listened silently, but gradually felt proud in her heart.
It seems that I am really talented.
It's hard to express this pride, so most of the time she just listens to them as a listener, and her attitude makes other mothers feel comfortable. After all, listening is the most precious thing in the world.
Talking about the second child again.
"By the way, Song Jie, do you have any thoughts about having a second child?" Shu Lan said.
Song Jie sighed, "Oh, I'm still struggling. I'm so tired after having one child. I'm not mentally prepared for another one..." She looked at Shu Lan: "What about you?"
Shu Lan's eyes moved: "I...well, let's wait until Chenghuan goes to kindergarten, but I haven't figured out the specific details yet."
"Wow, you are so brave! I really don't dare to ask for a second dick again..."
"Haha...yeah, it's not that exaggerated..." Shu Lan smiled.
Taking care of children...is it that tiring?
Method, method.
