Abyss of ignorance

"It's poisonous!" Lin Xiaodong looked at the foreign lady who appeared in front of him out of nowhere.

"I'm not poisonous, I swear!" Sandra suddenly became nervous and tried to explain in blunt Chinese. Then she muttered a bunch of foreign languages, which Lin Xiaodong couldn't understand at all, and it didn't sound like English.

Seeing Sandra's panic, Lin Xiaodong guessed that she had misunderstood. She thought Lin Xiaodong was asking her if she had "drugs."

Lin Xiaodong thought for a long time and could only say "OK" to her. After about five or six consecutive words, Sandra finally understood. She took out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket and gave it to Lin Xiaodong.

Lin Xiaodong took the paper in confusion and saw that it was written in Chinese and English. He finally understood the Chinese content.

This is a contract, an employment agreement. Party A’s name is Lin Xiaodong in black and white, and Party B’s name is Sandra.

Lin Xiaodong glanced at the contents of the contract and couldn't help blurting out: "Full-time housekeeping? Isn't it a nanny? No, no, no, there must be a mistake, I don't need a nanny!"

Of course Sandra didn't understand what he said, she just kept pointing at the contents of the contract and mumbling something.

Fortunately, Sandra's resume was attached to the contract, which finally allowed Lin Xiaodong to figure out "who the hell" this Sandra who appeared out of thin air was.

Sandra is a 50-year-old Mexican who came to China for the first time and works as a nanny.

Lin Xiaodong handed the contract back to Sandra, hurriedly downloaded a translation software, and explained to her with difficulty that he did not need a nanny. Unexpectedly, when Sandra heard the translated voice on the phone, she just calmed down. Her emotions became aroused again, and she started typing in Spanish. Lin Xiaodong didn't even have time to record and translate on her mobile phone. She just felt that she was shocked, and then she clasped her hands together and cried and prayed to Lin Xiaodong, probably not to let him drive her away.

Lin Xiaodong felt soft and muttered: "Okay, okay, blocking the door like this is not an option. Let's go in first." He opened the door helplessly.

Sandra thought he agreed, so she immediately broke into tears, picked up her luggage and rushed into Lin Xiaodong's home without ceremony.

Lin Xiaodong politely poured water for Sandra, and invited her to sit on the sofa in the living room with gestures and translations.

Sandra seemed very uncomfortable and eager to help Lin Xiaodong clean up immediately.

In short, from the moment they met, whether it was language or behavior, the two of them were not on the same page at all.

And Lin Xiaodong couldn't figure out who brought this Mexican woman named Sandra into his home.

Relying on the translation software, Lin Xiaodong asked Sandra how she got to his home.

Sandra said she saw an advertisement in Mexico and the agency promised a considerable income, enough to support her family of eight, so she decided to come to China.

After hearing "substantial income", Lin Xiaodong remembered and hurried back to look at the employment contract carefully. He saw that the annual salary written on it was 30. This frightened Lin Xiaodong, and he quickly said that his salary was not enough. If he couldn't afford her money, she must have been cheated.

But this time Sandra was not excited, saying that someone had already paid her deposit, and the subsequent fees would be paid into her account every month without Lin Xiaodong's payment.

Just when Lin Xiaodong wanted to ask further who paid her, his cell phone rang.Looking at the caller ID, Lin Xiaodong understood that it was Ye Miumi's call.

"Are you satisfied with the nanny we found for you?" Sure enough, as soon as the call was connected, Ye Mihi said directly.

Lin Xiaodong couldn't laugh or cry: "I mean, Mr. Ye, who has so many things to do, you still have time to make this kind of international joke with me. What have I done to make you care so much? I gave you a car and a nanny. I don't want this nanny. You can find someone else." Take her back!"

"If Sandra can't work with you, she won't be able to get a work visa, and she will have to return to Mexico at her own expense." Ye Zhizhi said, "She can't afford the money. I advise you not to think about it. .”

This time, Lin Xiaodong was really annoyed: "Ye Mi, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? You don't want to buy and sell it with force. I'm fine living by myself. Don't tell me, this foreign nanny doesn't know the language. If it doesn’t work, why leave it at home?”

"She helps you clean up the house while you go to work and doesn't need to chat. Is there any problem?" Ye Zhizhi asked back, which actually sounded very reasonable. "Besides, I'll pay for the nanny fees for you." ”

Lin Xiaodong looked at Sandra sitting pitifully on the sofa and understood why she was so excited when he rejected her just now.

It seemed that Ye Mihi had made up his mind to accept this Mexican nanny.

It's just that although Ye Miumi is strange, she doesn't do boring things like "pranks". All her actions have deep meaning.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaodong actually convinced himself and decided to keep Sandra by his side for the time being to see what Ye Miemei's intentions were.

"Sandra doesn't understand Chinese. You can safely put the things in your home there." Ye Zhishi on the other end of the phone continued, "Believe me, she will be a very competent nanny."

After hearing this, Lin Xiaodong looked at Sandra again, and Sandra was looking at him anxiously, waiting for his answer.

Finally, he and Sandra said "OK" again, and Sandra was overjoyed when she heard it. She continued to say many words to him with her hands clasped together, which probably meant all kinds of gratitude, and then she packed her luggage hurriedly. Lin Xiaodong started cleaning, but Lin Xiaodong couldn't stop him.

Lin Xiaodong also seemed at a loss. There was a Mexican nanny at home, which was really a strange thing that he had never dreamed of.

Although they didn't understand the language, Sandra was a talkative. After a long time of embarrassment, the two gradually got used to using translation software to "chat."

Lin Xiaodong soon learned that Sandra came from a small town in Mexico called "Nesa" and grew up in a slum. Her family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to drink water. She even told him that she smuggled herself to the United States and worked as an illegal worker. Unfortunately, she later After being discovered and deported to Mexico, she was afraid that she would not get a job this time and would be sent back to Mexico again.

Lin Xiaodong was helpless. Instead of asking Sandra to work for him, it was better to say that Sandra was begging him to take her in.

Lin Xiaodong soon discovered that Sandra may not have a high level of education, but she was very smart and knew how to use things at home. She even went downstairs to buy groceries and came back smoothly.

Lin Xiaodong gradually relaxed and went to work. When it was time for dinner, he came to the dining table and was surprised to find that Sandra had cooked a table of Chinese food... (End of Chapter)
