Chapter 57: Gently remove timidity
Kang Yurong pricked up his ears and heard again: "Isthereanyone?" Is there anybody?
I didn't understand the meaning, Kang Yurong heard that it was the voice of the landlord's little daughter.
She ran over and tapped on the door: "Cathy!"
Cathy shouted through the door, "Pain! Pain!β It hurts!
Kang Yurong understood, knew that something was wrong, and shouted: "Kathy! Openthedoor!β Open the door!
She shouted in her Baoding-flavored English, and it took a long time for the door to open a crack from the inside, revealing Cathy's dark, wary eyes.
Kang Yurong thought about it and asked immaturely, "Kathy, youokay?" Cathy, I'm Kang. What happened to you?
Although Cathy is not familiar with Kang Yurong, she knows that she is the tenant upstairs of her house, and at this moment, it seems that she has seen a relative, and she cries "wow".
Cathy's cry made Kang Yurong cry stupidly. The heart said, "What are you doing?" and when others see it, they think I'm bullying you?
You have to figure out the situation first, Kang Yurong bit his lower lip and asked stiffly, "Areyouokay?" What happened to you?
Cathy said in Chinese, "Kang, I am in pain. β
"You open the door, I'll see. β
Cathy stepped out of the way, and Kang walked in.
Little Cathy was wearing a dressing gown, and her blond hair was messy, as if she had just gotten out of the covers.
On the floor of the living room, hot water bottles and glasses were shattered, and looking at the soaked slippers on Cathy's feet, Kang Yurong seemed to understand what was going on.
She squatted down and carefully took off Cathy's shoes, her white little feet red into a pair of pig's trotters, but fortunately there were no blisters or broken skin.
She carried little Cathy to the bathroom, put it on the sink, put her little red feet in the sink, turned on the faucet, and rinsed the wound. Where the water couldn't be flushed, she held the water in her hand and splashed it one by one.
Kang Yurong asked, "Does this still hurt?"
The little girl shook her head, probably frightened, and stared at her feet with big eyes for a moment.
Kang Yurong was talking to her, distracting the little girl.
She said, "It doesn't hurt, how can you say it in English?"
The little girl said, "Nopain."
Kang Yurong repeated one side, but deliberately mispronounced.
The little girl shook her head and corrected seriously: "Nopain."
Kang Yurong mispronounced it again.
The little girl corrected it again.
Kang Yurong pointed his head with his finger and said, "Head, how do you say it in English?"
βHead.β
After asking the head, asking the face, asking the mouth...... I asked almost all the parts of my body.
Because many words are learned by Kang Yurong for the first time, even if she is serious, the tone she pronounces is strange, and the little girl is very naughty, and she always loves to learn her strange way. So, the big girls and little girls in the bathroom are always giggling and laughing.
When Ke Mulan came back at noon, he saw that the door was open, which had never happened before.
His heart lifted up, and he quickly entered the door: "Yu Rong!"
There was no figure inside and out, Ke Mulan panicked, and his face changed. He rushed out the door and was about to go upstairs when he faintly heard Kang Yurong's voice floating out of the landlord's house.
Just as he was about to pass, he knocked on the door, but saw the landlady coming up from below.
The landlady said hello: "Ke, doyouwork?" Ke, off work?
Ke Mulan replied, "Yes."
The landlady opened the door, went in, and shouted, "Oh, myGod! Whatsthematter?β Oh my God! What's going on?
Ke Mulan, who was waiting at the door, had planned to go in to find out, but now when he heard the landlady's shout, he immediately ran in.
The messy living room made Ke Mulan's heart "chuckle", and he was about to break in, when he saw Kang Yurong walking out with the little girl in his arms.
As soon as Kang Yurong put the little girl on the sofa, Ke Mulan pulled her over, held her shoulders with both hands, and looked up and down: "What's wrong? What's wrong?" asked eagerly, and the anxiety in his eyes was even more difficult to hide.
Kang Yurong shook his head, meaning that it was okay, and then told him what had just happened to him again.
Here, the little girl also reported what happened to her mother.
Together, the two narrations become a complete story.
It turned out that little Cathy had a cold and fever today, so she didn't go to school. The landlady had asked for leave to serve her daughter, but she received an emergency call from the unit temporarily. Seeing that her daughter had taken medicine and slept quite soundly, she thought that she should be able to come back before her daughter woke up, so she hurried out.
People are not as good as heaven, and an unknown sound outside woke up little Cathy.
The little girl with a dry mouth shouted a few times, but no one paid attention, so she got up and looked for water to drink. Physical fatigue, mental trance, and a little powerless to do things.
One accidentally didn't get the water into his mouth, knocked over the hot water bottle, broke the cup, and burned his foot. If it weren't for Kang Yurong's timely time, these little tender feet might not have been scalded into something.
People saved their daughter, and the sensible landlady is naturally grateful.
Originally, it was just a trivial matter not worth mentioning, and the landlady's exaggerated attitude made Kang Yurong not know how to parry, mainly because the landlady was babbling for a long time, and she couldn't understand a word.
In the end, there was no way, Kang Yurong raised a pair of big eyes and looked at Ke Mulan for help.
Ke Mulan was amused by her helpless appearance, and talked to the landlady for a few words to help her out.
The matter is clear, Kang Yurong is a mother on the ground, and he has not forgotten the little girl's injury.
She knelt down, looked at the red patches on the little girl's feet and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
The little girl nodded.
Kang Yurong turned around and asked Ke Mulan: "I was burned last time, the ointment you brought back shouldn't have been used up yet, can Cathy use it?"
"Yes, I'll get it. β
In less than two minutes, Ke Mulan returned, and was about to rub the medicine on the little girl, but was stopped by the little girl.
The little girl said, "I want to be well." β
Ke Mulan was stunned for a moment, smiled, and deliberately asked, "Cathy, I'm a doctor." β
The little girl said, "Yes." But, Kang, very gentle. Kang, gentler than you. β
Ke Mulan and the landlady laughed in unison.
Kang Yurong couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, she took the ointment in Ke Mulan's hand and carefully rubbed it on the little girl's feet.
The winter sun shone in through the glass, enveloping the woman's face, coating the originally delicate skin with a soft glow.
Ke Mulan looked at her, and after a while, she looked careful and serious, which was really gentle.
What a woman, gentle.
Ke Mulan's heart suddenly softened.
Good people have good rewards, this sentence, sometimes it's really accurate.
No, Kang Yurong met the second noble person in her life when she "made a move when it was time to make a move".
This first one, of course, is Ke Mulan.
The second nobleman is none other than the landlord Mr. and Mrs. Allen. These two helped Kang Yurong twice at the most critical time.
Let's start with this first time.
Kang Yurong has always wanted to find another job, because in addition to the previous incident, it is much more cautious to find another job this time.
This work is already rare, but now it has to "keep improving", and this work is even more difficult.
Kang Yurong was "thirsty", and the Allen couple sent her a sweet spring just in time.
Mr. and Mrs. Allen are professors at the same university, and they are recently going to Germany for a year to study, so it is inconvenient to bring Cathy with them.
I wanted Cathy's grandparents to come over to take care of her, but the old man was old and frail and barely self-sufficient, and he really couldn't afford to take care of his granddaughter.
The Alan couple have been looking for a nanny, and Cathy is the top treasure of their couple, and they really don't feel at ease.
Kang Yurong's "feat" was not done in vain, and the Allen couple set their sights on her. The two discussed with their daughter and unanimously approved.
Because of language problems, the landlady first told Ke Mulan what they meant, and asked him to ask Kang Yurong if he agreed.
That night, Ke Mulan told Kang Yurong about it.
"You want me to be the landlord's nanny?" Kang Yurong was so shocked that his jaw was about to drop.
"Don't you want to?" Ke Mulan said again: "This job of serving people is not a good job in the first place, and if you don't agree, I will go back to the landlady." β
Kang Yurong knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "No." I'm so happy. "I'm sleepy, can you be unhappy if someone stuffs you with a pillow?
After being happy for a while, Kang Yurong hesitated again, and she said, "However, I'm afraid I can't." It was fine to clean and wash, but I didn't speak English and couldn't communicate with Cathy. In terms of food, I will only cook a few of our Chinese home-cooked food, which I can't cook. I'm sure I can't. β
Ke Mulan shook his head and said, "What you said is not a problem. Although you are not good at English, you can understand and even speak many words and simple sentences. Moreover, Cathy can speak everyday Chinese, although she is not particularly neat, but her basic meaning can be expressed, so communication is not a problem. Even if there were places where you both couldn't understand, wouldn't there still be me? I'm not, deaf earsβjust an ornament.
As for three meals, you may not know that Cathy is not a picky eater. When Zhaopei was there, the little girl would come over every once in a while to eat, and she was more interested in Chinese food than Western food. Even if she is tired of eating Chinese food, you can learn to cook Western food, in fact, Western food is easier to learn than our Chinese food.
And this job, close to home, close to me. You don't have to get up early and be greedy, it's not particularly tired, and in terms of salary, although the landlady doesn't give it particularly high, it's definitely not low. So, the biggest problem is solved, what else do you have to hesitate about?"
Kang Yurong was a little worried: "It's just because it's so good, so I feel that I definitely can't do it well, and when the time comes, it's really bad, how can I live here?"
Ke Mulan knew that Kang Yurong was not bad, just because he had been at home for a long time and had almost no contact with the outside world. In addition, I don't know English, I have no education, I have no work experience, and my head is low to my feet.
She thinks that she should do the lowest job, and she thinks that she should endure hardships and be humiliated and scolded. Therefore, as soon as the conditions are better, she has no confidence.
Ke Mulan said: "Actually, this job is not as good as you think. Besides, you haven't done it yet, how do you know you can't do it? I believe you. β
Kang Yurong's eyes lit up: "Can I really do a good job?"
Ke Mulan smiled encouragingly: "I promise, you will definitely be able to do a good job." β
