Chapter 436: The Unpampered Young Master
Chapter 436: Chapter 436: The Unpampered Young Master
After lunch, everyone had some tea and took a short break before starting the preparations for the afternoon barbecue.
Zhu Qianying’s hand was almost completely healed, so she helped out with tasks like marinating chicken wings and preparing sauces. The three men set up the barbecue grill outside and arranged the tables and chairs. Everyone moved in and out to carry food and drinks into the backyard.
Even the baby boy and baby girl, and several other kids, helped carry things like fruits.
"Sure enough, children need good role models. Usually, baby girl and the others are so lazy, but now with the baby boy as a role model, the two little rascals have become much more active."
Shao Shan, who was volunteering to barbecue, saw how her daughter and son were behaving as if they’d turned over a new leaf and couldn’t help but be moved.
"When the baby boy lived abroad with me and my mother, we both had jobs, so naturally, we didn’t have much time to take care of him. He had to handle many daily tasks himself."
At this, Zhu Qianying couldn’t help but think, if the baby boy had been raised in the Yan family from the beginning, he might have become Yan Junior, leading a pampered life like a young master, and would probably be even lazier than Qin Xiu’s two children.
"The baby boy is really good, he’s not spoiled, not at all like the son of a wealthy family."
Comparatively, baby girl and the others were much more delicate than the baby boy, acting much more like young ladies and masters.
"I suppose I should send baby boy and baby girl to kindergarten, I should go back to work, staying at home all the time, I feel like I’m getting depression."
Shao Shan’s temperament really changed a lot after getting married, thankfully, Qin Xiu understood her and tolerated her, otherwise, they could have divorced long ago.
"I also don’t agree with being a full-time housewife. Of course, you did it out of necessity. It’s just that the quality of nannies nowadays is uneven, indeed it’s hard to trust them to take care of the children."
The baby boy is now over four years old and has never been taken care of by a nanny. Before returning to the M country, Zhu Qianying and Chen Jing were the ones taking care of him.
After returning to the country, even though the baby boy was with the Yan family, no one suggested hiring a nanny. It was either Young Master Yan or Mr. and Mrs. Yan who took care of him.
In this regard, Zhu Qianying was genuinely touched.
The Yan family didn’t hire a nanny to take care of the baby boy, not because they couldn’t afford it, but because both Mr and Mrs Yan and Young Master Yan felt that they missed out on the baby boy’s childhood. Now, they just want to spend as much time with him as possible. Even if it’s tiring, they enjoy it.
"Yes, I feel fine staying with Qin Xiu because we can talk about many things from the past. But when I’m with you two, I feel like I’m a bit out of touch with society."
"If I don’t find a job soon, in two or three years when the kids start primary school, I might completely lose my work ability. Then, I’ll have to rely on Qin Xiu to support me. I need to discuss this with Qin Xiu as soon as possible, hire a caretaker to do the housework, and pick up the children after we finish work."
Shao Shan’s decision received strong support from Zhu Qianying and An Lan.
From their point of view, regardless of how capable their husbands or boyfriends are, women should not be completely dependent on men.
If objectively circumstances allow, it’s better to have your own career. It gives you an extra purpose in life, and an additional guarantee.
Most importantly, you have to live up to the living ability granted to you by nature and prove your own worth.
Your husband, children, and family should not be all that a woman is. And a woman’s identity is not just someone’s wife, someone’s parents.
"Sister Shan, Young Master Yan asked Qin Xiu to find a part-time worker for my house. She does things neatly and efficiently and has a good temperament. How about letting her come over to your house to be a nanny?"
"What about you?" Shao Shan was a bit tempted.
"My hand is completely fine now, doing a little housework helps me recover."
Zhu Qianying was not a pampered lady, so for her, doing housework was like doing light exercise.
Occasionally, when she suffered from a creative block, she would take a cloth and thoroughly clean the furniture and windows. Then, inspiration would penetrate through like sunshine coming through the windows.
So far, this method has been very effective for Zhu Qianying.
Over time, even Chen Jing left household cleaning tasks specifically for Zhu Qianying.
The vacation Cheng Ye gave to Zhu Qianying, has almost been used up in the process of her recovery. Soon, she will need to start working again.
Because of this, she agreed to stay at Yan’s house so readily.
After all, the inspiring scenery could easily stimulate creative ideas.
Eldest Young Master Yan did not know that the part-time worker, he specifically asked Uncle Hai to find to save Zhu Qianying from getting tired, was so readily given to Shao Shan by Zhu Qianying.
When he came to know about it, the part-time worker, Aunt Lan, had already been working for a week in Qin Xiu’s house. But that’s a story for another time.
The barbecue party, though only nine people, was quite lively. The meat and seafood prepared by Shao Shan were mostly consumed by everyone by evening.
Except for the three children and Zhu Qianying, who, though insisting that she was fine, was universally deemed a patient, the other three men and two women had quite a bit to drink.
Zhu Qianying was forbidden to drink alcohol by everyone. She felt lacking interest when sitting with them, so she willingly went to the barbecue grill to serve everyone. Seeing her mom barbecuing, the baby boy kept offering to help as a runner, carrying the tray filled with grilled food and bringing it to the several adults sitting around the table chatting and drinking.
"Gee, Kai Zi, will we get our wages deducted when we go back tomorrow!"
Qin Xiu also felt he had gone a bit too far. He should be the host, but instead, he had the boss lady and the little master serving them. He feared Young Master Yan would be displeased.
Ke Kai kicked him, "knowing this, why don’t you lazy bum hurry up and help?"
So, Qin Xiu touched his nose and stood up to go help Zhu Qianying.
Meanwhile, Zhu Qianying had heard their conversation and called out with a smile.
"Brother Qin, take your time eating. If you leave now, I might finish your collection edition Lafite."
Hearing her say that, Young Master Yan, who originally had no intention of stopping Qin Xiu, immediately glared at him, "Sit down, we won’t deduct your wages!"
In comparison to letting Zhu Qianying do some work, Young Master Yan was more reluctant to let her drink alcohol, not because he was afraid she would get drunk, but because he was continually concerned that drinking would affect the healing of her injury.
However, everyone didn’t really treat Zhu Qianying like a servant. Shao Shan and An Lan took turns accompanying Zhu Qianying. In the end, it was Eldest Young Master Yan who stood by her side.
The Eldest Young Master who had never cooked a chicken wing for himself, now personally grilled a chicken leg for his precious son. The little boy thanked his "Daddy," holding onto the chicken leg, said thank you, and turned to go play again.
Now that Young Master Yan understood Zhu Qianying’s likes, he put a few skewers of mushrooms and a corn on the grill.
