"Hehe, Kiki, she's cute. I touched Jiaqi's little head, who was unwrapping the lollipop wrapper with my hand at my feet, and said to her, "Kiki, come, tell Sister Ma a story." Let my sister hear Kiki's story?"

Hearing my words, Jiaqi looked at me with wide eyes, her face full of sluggishness.

"Kiki, tell me a story. I urged again, "If you don't let my sister give you lollipops in the future." ”

"Tell my sister the story of the monk and the temple. I reminded her.

"Hmmm......"

Hearing my words, Jiaqi finally began to get serious, touched the lollipop in her hand, pouted her small mouth, slanted her big black and bright eyes, looked at Ma Yike, and then said in a clear voice:

"Once upon a time...... There is a mountain...... Mountain ...... There's a hole...... There is a temple in the cave......"

"Huh, how can there be a hole in the mountain? Kiki is wrong!"

Hearing my words, Jiaqi was stunned, her eyes rolled again, and she seemed to know her mistake, so she said again, "Once upon a time there was a mountain...... There is a temple on the mountain...... There is a ...... in the temple There is a ...... There is an old monk and a little monk......"

Hearing Jiaqi's story, Ma Yike also listened with great interest, clasped his hands, and his beautiful eyes were full of expectation.

"And then, what happened to the old monk and the little monk?"

“…… The old monk told the little monk a story...... The old monk said...... He said......"

"What did the old monk say?"

"Hmm...... The old monk said...... Once upon a time there was a mountain...... There is a temple on the mountain...... There is an old monk and a young monk in the temple......"

Hearing Jiaqi say this, Ma Yike finally couldn't help but cover his mouth and sobbed.

"Haha, that's so cute. ”

Seeing Ma Yi laughing, Jiaqi also raised her head very proudly, looked at me with big eyes, and showed me a bright and innocent smile, as if to say: Papa, am I amazing?

"Kiki, one more one. Seeing Jiaqi's triumphant appearance, I urged Jiaqi again. Usually I send a lot of stories to Jiaqi, and now it's no problem to ask her to say a few.

Hearing my urging again, Jiaqi thought deeply again.

"Qiqi, tell the eldest sister the story of the monk carrying water and Sima Guang smashing the cylinder. I squeezed my eyes and hinted.

"Okay~~" Jia Qi said diligently, raised her head to Ma Yike and said, "Once upon a time there was a mountain...... There is a temple on the mountain...... There are three monks and a large water tank in the temple......"

"And then?"

And then, one day, the water in the tank ran out...... And then...... Then ......"

"And then what's wrong?"

“…… And then...... Then a child fell into the water tank, and the three monks smashed a hole in the water tank, and the water flowed out, and Sima Guang was saved, and everyone was very happy, and the adults praised Sima Guang and said that he was so smart......

Hearing this, Ma Yike and I both laughed.

I didn't expect Jiaqi to mistake and confuse the story of Sima Guang smashing the cylinder and the monk carrying water, and I didn't expect Jiaqi's small mistake to cause a more hilarious result.

This is Jiaqi's first original joke.

"Kiki, didn't Sima Guang smash the water tank, how could he fall into the water tank and be rescued?" I asked curiously.

Jiaqi didn't seem to understand what I meant, and said to me very seriously: "Because...... Sima Guang was not careful, so he fell into it. ”

"Then Sima Guang is so careless, why do adults still praise Sima Guang?"

"Because...... He's smart...... smashed the water tank and saved the children......"

"Didn't Qiqi just say that the monk smashed the water tank, why did Sima Guang smash the water tank again?" I continued to tease her.

When I asked this, Jiaqi was dumbfounded, puffed out her cheeks, and stopped talking, as if she also realized that she had told the wrong story.

Amused by Jiaqi's appearance, Ma Yike giggled and laughed on the side.

"Haha, your sister is so funny. Ma Yike's eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled.

"Hehe, she's so stupid, very likable, she'll be handed over to you in the future. I smiled gently, "I hope you treat her like a sister." ”

"Well, I'd definitely treat her as my sister. ”

"Then this matter is decided, and the time is not too early, let's sign the contract now. I stood up and proposed to Ma Yike that in any case, Ma Yike was also introduced by the intermediary of the housekeeping company, so the employment relationship between me and Ma Yike could only be formally established after the contract was formally signed by the housekeeping company.

"Ah, that's good. Hearing my request to sign a contract, Ma Yike was naturally very happy and stood up with me.

After that, Ma Yike took me to the office floor on the second floor of the parent company, where the work office and the place where the contract was officially signed, and the person in charge gave me and Ma Yike a contract form, and at the same time asked us to show our ID cards, and also paid a deposit, and after Ma Yike's employer and servant relationship officially came into effect.

There were three copies of the contract, one for me, one for the housekeeping company, and one for Ma Yike, so that neither party would regret it.

Of course, when the contract was signed, the staff at the housekeeping company were also surprised by my age, because they had never seen a "master" as young as me to hire a nanny. Of course, if their expressions are normal when they see my youth, their expressions are very "abnormal" when they see Ma Yike, it seems that in their opinion, a young employer hires a young and beautiful maid, and they can think of anything with their foot hair.

The effective date of the contract is the day after the contract is signed, which means that from tomorrow, Ma Yike will be able to officially come to my house to work.

After signing the contract, the conversation between me and Ma Yike is no longer so restrained, after all, the relationship has been formally determined, and there is no need to ask this and that as at the beginning, and Ma Yike no longer has to restrain himself in a low voice in Chinese.

After signing the contract, I took Jiaqi and Ma Yike out of the housekeeping company's building.

Standing at the door of the housekeeping company's building, I really felt a sense of relief.

Seeing Ma Yike with a heavy suitcase in her hand, I couldn't help but ask her, "Why did you move the suitcase out too?"

When I asked this, Ma Yike said a little embarrassedly: "Hehe...... Mr. Yang ......"

"Hey, just call me Xiaodong. ”

"Uh-huh, Xiaodong...... I actually...... I just moved out of my place today, and the rent has been paid. Ma Yike said with some embarrassment.

I immediately understood what Ma Yike meant, it turned out that she wanted to move into my house today so that she could save on rent. But her idea is too bold, if I don't sign a contract with her today, won't she have nowhere to live?

It seems that Ma Yike values this nanny job more than I thought.

"That's right, that's okay, you can move to my house today, anyway, you will be our family in the future...... Well, anyway, you will live in our house to take care of Jiaqi in the future, so it's better to get acquainted with it today. I said to Ma Yike.

When I said this, I was a little surprised that I could be so calm and take a girl back to my house so easily, especially since this girl was not bad.

Hearing my words, Ma Yike looked at me gratefully, her eyes sparkled, and it took a long time before she said, "...... Thank you, but wouldn't that be a bad ......?"

"It's okay, I don't have anyone in my house. Usually except for Kiki, it's just me,......" I said casually, but as soon as I said it, I felt that it was even more inappropriate, there was no one at home, and I brought a young girl home, isn't it even more abnormal? After all, Ma Yike is a female college student, she is a girl who has been influenced by social and cultural influence, but not Jiaqi who has no self-consciousness in infancy.

"I'm really embarrassed then......"

"It's only a day early, you don't even have to think too much-" As I spoke, I saw a taxi coming from ahead, "Hey, taxi!"

I hurriedly dropped the unfinished words, ran a few steps forward, waved my hand, and called out to stop the car.

After the taxi stopped, I took Jiaqi by the hand and shouted at Ma Yike, "Let's go together!"

Ma Yike stood at the door of the housekeeping company and looked at me fixedly, looking a little hesitant, but finally nodded at me and walked towards me.

After getting into the car, I sat in the front seat, and deliberately let Jiaqi and Ma Yike sit in the back seat. Along the way, I heard Ma Yike's kind voice teasing Jiaqi, and Jiaqi's vague loud voice. It seems that Jiaqi is not afraid of this "new sister".

Because the housekeeping company and my house are not very far away, about ten minutes later, my house arrived.

When Ma Yike got out of the taxi and saw my family's towering villa, her expression was quite wonderful, and she was also restrained all of a sudden, like a rural child who had just entered the city. It was only at my urging that she finally entered the house.

That night, Mai officially moved into my house and spent the first night in my house.

This is also the first time that my family has been occupied by a long-term since my father passed away three years ago.

With Ma Yike's arrival, the originally deserted home finally began to be lively again, adding a touch of vitality.

I vacated a bedroom next to my father's bedroom on the second floor so that Ma Yi Ke could sleep there, and from now on, that room was the bedroom where Ma Yi Ke lived temporarily when he was a maid in my house.

That night, when Jiaqi and I slept in the room on the third floor, I hid under the covers, and kept thinking in my mind: in the room directly below me, there was a living life sleeping there, a life with a temperature, a body, and a heartbeat, instead of the empty and cold air like before.

It was the life of a young girl.

Surprisingly, that night, I never thought of my dad again as I had for so many nights.
