Chapter 55: Being a Nanny
In this way, Shumei had the experience of riding a car for the first time, sitting on the soft sedan cushion, Shumei was uncomfortable, like sitting on a needle carpet.
She muttered in her heart, this Tibetan breathless, I really don't know what is good, it is better to take a car. I really don't have the life to live a good life, and I can't stand the life of this rich man.
The car stopped in front of a large courtyard house, "It's here, get off!" The wife stepped on the brakes, quickly opened the door and got out of the car.
Shumei didn't know how to open the car door at all, but her wife was in such a hurry to get out of the car that she didn't have time to ask. I tossed around on the car door for a long time, and I didn't understand how to open it, and I couldn't push it hard, and I couldn't pull it.
Seeing that his wife was about to walk into the courtyard, she kept banging on the car window door in a hurry. If the force is greater, it will definitely be able to break the window glass.
"Madam, wait a minute, you can open the car door for me, ma'am, ma'am......"
Although the sound was small outside, the lady still heard Shumei's voice. Turning around, he walked to the car door and opened it, "What are you doing?" Why don't you get off? ”
"I'm ...... I don't know how to open the door......"
Hearing Shumei say this, Mrs. couldn't help but burst out laughing. When Shumei got out of the car, she closed the car door, and then led Shumei towards the courtyard.
The yard is very spacious, and there is a well in the courtyard, and two women are washing vegetables and chatting by the well, as if preparing dinner.
Obviously, there is more than one family living in this courtyard, and it does not look like a place where rich people live. Shumei looked at this old yard, and wondered why she could hire a nanny, why did she let the old man live in such a place.
"The old people miss the old and don't want to move to the county seat, so they have to live in this old house."
As if she understood the doubts on Shumei's face, Mrs. suddenly came out with such a sentence, which just solved the doubts in Shumei's heart, "Oh! I'll just say it! ”
The wife led her straight to the northernmost house, the door was wide open, and before she could enter the door, she heard the heart-rending cry of the child, which was very distressing.
As soon as I entered, I saw an old woman with gray hair holding a thirty-month-old child in her hands. It's a pity that the child doesn't seem to appreciate her affection, and cries vigorously.
An old man with the same gray hair, sitting in a rocking chair and holding a small radio, seemed to be listening to Sichuan opera, and did not care about the child's crying at all.
"Cousin, the stone is crying so much, is he hungry?"
"I don't know! I washed milk for him to eat, but he didn't eat it, just crying vigorously. Lingling! How did you get free today? ”
"This is the nanny my cousin found to help you bring small stones and help you wash and cook."
The old woman glanced at Shumei and said in a skeptical tone: "Such a yellow-haired girl, can she know how to take care of children?" ”
"Auntie, I'm also a mother, it's hard for me to take care of the child."
Shumei glanced into the room, put the sleeping child in her hand on the sofa, and blocked it with a back cloth, she was still afraid that the child would turn over and fall down.
Then he got up and walked up to the old woman, "Auntie, give me the child!" Let me try. ”
Maybe it's because children like the smell of milk on their mothers! The little stone lay in Shumei's arms, and soon quieted down, looking at the strange person in front of him with wide eyes. Both the old woman and the lady smiled and nodded affirmatively to show their approval of Shumei.
Shumei patted the little stone's buttocks, but after patting it, the little stone that stopped crying frowned and snorted softly.
Shumei saw something abnormal, and when she took off Xiaoshi's pants, she saw that her buttocks were as red as a monkey's ass.
In this winter, how can the child's butt still be stung like this. This old woman is also from the past, and she shouldn't have made such a mistake.
"Auntie, look, the child is stinging in the buttocks, and all of them are crying, haven't you washed his butt recently?"
Shumei took the child to the old woman and showed her the child's buttocks. The lady leaned in to take a look, and looked at the old woman with a puzzled expression.
"I've had an old rheumatism in the past two days, and these two legs are so painful that I can't squat, so I let the old man wash them."
Shumei now understands, man! There are a few people who can do a good job of taking care of children, not to mention an old man who is over half a hundred years old, so it is even more difficult to do it.
"Auntie, where are the hot water and basins in your house? I'll wash the child first. ”
"This ......"
The old woman hurriedly led Shumei into the kitchen, took a basin and hot water, and washed the buttocks for Xiaoshi. Then, she found some sesame oil in the kitchen and rubbed it on the child's buttocks. He fed the milk that had been brewed on the table again, and Xiao Shi fell asleep peacefully.
The old woman took the child and put it in the cot.
"Girl! You really have a way, thanks to you coming, otherwise I really don't know how long the little stone will cry. ”
The old woman took Shumei's hand, and her heart was indescribably grateful.
"Auntie, this is all my business, and I hope that my aunt can keep me, and I will take good care of you and the children."
"Okay, stay, you are a capable girl, my aunt likes it."
"It's just that I'm going to go back and pack some things first, and then I'll be here tomorrow. Your daughter-in-law said, "I'll eat and stay." ”
"Okay, you just live there, and the crowd will be lively."
The old woman pointed to a small room near the toilet, and Shumei glanced at it and nodded in response.
The young lady, seeing that she had already taken care of the matter, took her leave to the old woman.
"Then cousin, I'll go back first."
"Shall I send you?"
"No, cousin."
At this time, a young man who was about twenty years old came out of the inner room, and when he saw Shumei and them, he greeted the lady, took the cup in his hand, and walked towards the kitchen.
The lady asked the old woman as she walked, "Didn't Wencai go to Guangdong to find something to do?" How did you come back again? ”
The old woman frowned suddenly, sighed and said, "This unfortunate thing has been back for a month, and every day I eat and sleep at home, sleep and eat, and when I have no money, I stretch out my hand and ask us." It's a world of difference between him and his brother, your cousin-in-law, I wonder if he is my own child, it's useless to beat and scold. ”
"Cousin, don't worry too much, Wencai is still young, and when you become a family and have pressure, you will be sensible."
The old woman sighed, shook her head vigorously, and sent Shumei and her wife out of the courtyard gate.
At the gate of the courtyard, Shumei broke up with the wife, and she walked in the direction of Qianqian's barbershop, wanting to tell Qianqian the good news.
After coming out of Qianqian's shop, she returned to the village. When she got home, she found that her difficult sister had gone back, and she had been secretly happy for a long time.
At dinner, Shumei told Wu Ju and Zhang Binglin the good news that she had found something to do. When the two elders heard this, they both thought it was a good thing, and they didn't object much. It's just that Wu Ju asked Shumei, what about the work in the field, what about the busy farming?
Shumei really didn't think about this aspect, but in any case, the work in the field must not be neglected, otherwise what will be used to pay the public grain.
Shumei thought for a long time, "Simple sowing, I try to find time to come back, of course, I also have to bother my mother and father to help do something, as for the farming, I can discuss with the fault when I see it, ask for a few days off or something." ”
Shumei is going out to make money, she doesn't go out to make money, where can she get 60 yuan per month for her living expenses, of course Wu Ju has nothing to object.
After dinner, Shumei packed up her clothes and simple daily necessities and rested early.
Lying on the bed, she tossed and turned, she couldn't sleep, why did she forget to ask if there was a fake at that time? Isn't there still a Saturday and Sunday in school? In this way, you can also take care of the work in the field, even if the salary is a little less, it is cost-effective!
Shumei made up her mind that she must ask her employer.
Watching Shumei pack up her things, Wu Ju didn't feel good in her heart, although she didn't have a daughter to be a staff officer for herself now, she had always been selfish. How could it be so easy to let Shumei leave this house with the child.
If she goes and doesn't return, then my Zhang family owes a lot of debts to marry her, doesn't she lose her wife and soldiers? Besides, she doesn't know where she does things? Also, in case she just made an excuse and wanted to leave with the child...... The more Wu Ju thought about it, the more scared she became.
Forget it, I had to suffer a little loss and keep the child by my side. This tiger poison doesn't eat children! With a child, I don't believe she can run.
Early in the morning of the second day, Wu Ju told Shumei about her idea of taking the child, and said: It is inconvenient to do things with children, and people will definitely not be happy with you to do things with children.
Shumei and Zhang Binglin were stunned by Wu Ju's words, they never dreamed that Wu Ju would take the initiative to help take care of the children.
At first, Shumei was reluctant, after all, she wanted the child to stay by her side, Dabao's life and death were uncertain now, and she didn't want Xiaobao to have any more accidents. But since Wu Ju spoke, her rebuttal was invalid.
No matter how much she talks about the lotus, as long as Wu Ju has made up her mind, it is impossible to change it because of her words.
In the end, she could only leave the child at home, and repeatedly told Wu Ju to take good care of Xiao Shuangning, but Wu Ju agreed. Just trust her again! After all, this is also the only bloodline of her Zhang family, and Shumei believes that she will not neglect her children too much.
She gave everything to herself, and then went to the city alone.
In the storage room, Bo Yi took Xiao Youchen to Wen Dazui again.
Seeing Bo Yi come in, Wen Dazui nibbled on the steamed bun in his hand and talked to Bo Yi: "Bo Yi is coming!" Didn't have breakfast? If not, let's eat together. ”
Wen Dazui got up from the stool and came over with steamed buns to lead Xiao Youchen. Xiao Youchen, who is just one year old, can already let go and walk on his own.
"I've eaten it."
Wen Dazui squatted down, handed the steamed bun in his hand to Xiao Youchen, pointed to his man and said, "Youchen, go to your uncle, aunt tell your father a few words, good!" Baby, go. ”
Xiao Youchen staggered towards the man with a big mouth, she got up and asked while sending Bo Yi out: "Bo Yi!" What do you think? It's impossible for you to be a free babysitter for the rest of your life, right? In two years, your nephew will marry a daughter-in-law and give birth to a baby, and I will have to take my grandson with me! I can't take care of your little Youchen anymore. ”
"I also know that sister, you have worked hard, and I will definitely repay your great kindness in the future."
"Don't give me all that useless, let me ask you, do you have a crush on Shumei? If it's not interesting, the eldest sister will help you find one, anyway, you will have to find another one sooner or later. ”
Wen Dazui, a straight man, couldn't stand those roundabouts, and directly asked Bo Yi if he had any intentions for Shumei.
Bo Yi took a deep breath, "The tail seven of this Jizong haven't passed yet, what can you let me do?" ”
"That's interesting! After the 100th period, I will go to Zhang's house to tell you that I will go. ”
Hearing Wen Dazui say this, Bo Yi was anxious. He is really afraid that Wen Dazui will do bad things with good intentions, in case Shumei is not ready to accept herself, isn't this to make Shumei dare not even be a friend and do it with him?
"Don't, eldest sister, I'll talk about this later, I won't bother you eldest sister."
"You, you, in the future, when she becomes someone else's daughter-in-law, you just wait to regret it! It's just that if I don't open my mind, I waste my saliva, and I won't talk nonsense with you, I'll go back to my breakfast. ”
Wen Dazui was a little angry, and after speaking, he turned around and went back to the house.
Bo Yi got on his bicycle and rode towards the entrance of the village. Wen Dazui's words touched him deeply, and he pedaled the bicycle under his feet, and his thoughts didn't know where to go. He probably realized this, and was afraid that he would ride into the stinky ditch without paying attention, so he simply got out of the car and pushed the bicycle away.
The eldest sister is right, what if, if Shumei really falls in love with someone else, then what should I do? No, no, how could Shumei be the kind of person who likes someone casually.
You can't mess up, you can't do what you shouldn't do, didn't the ancients say: If you want to succeed, you have to talk about the right time, place and people? At this time, the time is really wrong, the location is good, and the building near the water will get the moon first! This person is unknown, and he doesn't know if Shumei has a place in her heart.
Thinking about it, I walked to the entrance of the village before I knew it, and saw Shumei carrying a large bag.
"Shumei, where are you going?"
"Bo Yi! I found a nanny in the town, with food and lodging, no, bring some change of clothes. Hearing Bo Yi's voice, Shumei turned around and said.
"You're not going to go to town, are you? Get in the car and I'll send you there. ”
"I'm thinking to see if I can meet a car on the road, you send me over, isn't it delaying you to work?"
"It's okay, come up!"
Shumei didn't say no, got into the back seat of the bicycle, and the two of them headed in the direction of the town together.
In Qianqian's barber shop, Qianqian opened the door early to do business.
As soon as the door opened, there were customers who came to the door, and Qianqian was very happy, because in just three days, her store had regular customers.
This guest, she is no stranger at all, today is the third time to come. The first time was to cut his hair, the second time was to shave, and today he came again, Qianqian really didn't know what else could be done for him.
