Chapter 2 - Clothes Will Wrinkle (2/2)

Her second aunt had told her to be especially careful when working in such a family: have keen eyes and a good memory, be quick to do errands and talk less. These were the tips.

The second aunt had begged to get the job for her, so she must cherish the chance and not let down the second aunt.

When she lifted the curtain and got out, Ah Ling couldn’t help laughing: “I got the smallest size, but it was still big on you. All right, just wear it for now. You can have additional clothes under the uniform when it’s cold. And the next time we have new uniforms, I will ask the tailor to take your body measurements.”

Du Xiaoxian lowered her head and uneasily pulled her clothes. They were a little big, but they were brand-new. It was the first time she had put on new clothes, and she felt so nervous that she grabbed the apron with her hand. When she let go, she saw wrinkles, so she tried to get rid of the wrinkles by pulling and scraping.

Ah Ling could not help laughing when she saw how nervous Du Xiaoxian was. She took her hand and said, “It’s all right. Clothes will wrinkle. They will be OK later on after being washed and ironed.”

With her head down, Du Xiaoxian was still uneasy. She kept pulling the clothes, hoping that with more efforts, the wrinkles would disappear.

Ah Ling led Du Xiaoxian out and showed her around the house. The living room, the dining room, the kitchen, the grocery room, the wing-room, the masters’ bedrooms, the study, the Buddha Hall, the wine cellar, and the indoor temperature-controlled swimming pool.

After a tour inside the house, they went out through a side door of the dining-room. There was a back garden which had a set of carved stone tables and stools.

It was just the beginning of autumn, when summer flowers had not faded and autumn flowers had begun to blossom, so the garden looked beautiful and luxuriant.

Du Xiaoxian was instantly fascinated.

But Ah Ling didn’t let her stay long. She pulled her to the left, pointing to the swimming pool and tennis court.

Then they went round back to where they had just entered. There was a large lawn, which was surrounded by a brick-paved path, on which both people and vehicles could go.
