Zhang Nanyan heard Professor Zheng sigh, and she stopped her request.

She remembered Mrs. Zheng's condition yesterday and immediately understood where Professor Zheng's tiredness came from.

Supposedly, university professors don't need to leave early and return late when they go to work, but Professor Zheng goes to work on time at half past eight every day, and he doesn't leave work until after seven o'clock in the evening. When I take students to do projects, I often work overtime to guide students to do experiments, and I always go there in person when I need to travel for projects.

The teachers and students of the school unanimously praised Professor Cheng for his rigorous study and serious work. But who would know that he has a home and can't go back, he would rather work overtime in the office, laboratory, and teaching and research department every day, and he is afraid to go home and face a lot of chicken feathers.

Zhang Nanyan saw Professor Zheng's unironed shirt collar and the bloodshot in his eyes, and crossed Professor Zheng's shoulder, and she saw that the bedroom door was closed, and there was no sound inside.

Not only does she need this job, she thought, but the family really needs a nanny.

"Professor Zheng, please give me another chance, I will work hard." Zhang Nanyan pleaded solemnly.

Zheng Fan frowned.

The situation at home urgently needs someone to help with housework, and the wife needs someone to take care of her. He couldn't completely leave his work behind and keep an inch. However, the wife's resistance ......

"Professor Zheng, please give me another chance, I'll go and beg Madame."

Zhang Nanyan saw Professor Zheng's embarrassment, she walked to the bedroom door and raised her hand to knock on the door.

"Madam, I'm Xiao Zhang, please give me another chance, I will work hard."

Zheng Fan looked at the bedroom door worriedly, and as expected, there was no answer inside.

"I'm from the countryside, so I may be rough and the food tastes poor, but don't worry, I'll work hard to improve."

"Otherwise, you let me work for a week first, and it will be considered a trial, and if I do something badly, you will let me go."

"It takes time to find a new nanny, and you can't do without people at home, so you let me try it before you find the right person. As soon as Professor Cheng finds a more satisfactory candidate, I will leave immediately. ”

Zhang Nanyan pleaded, but there was no response in the house.

Zheng Fan has given up. "Xiao Zhang, I'm sorry, in this way, you go back first, other colleagues also need nannies, I can recommend it for you."

Zhang Nanyan wanted to fight again, she said: "Madam, I boiled millet porridge, you can taste it." ”

Originally, she didn't expect a bowl of millet porridge to impress Mrs. Zheng, but Zhang Nanyan thought that people should want to eat some warm and light food when they were sick, so she boiled millet porridge and boiled it over low heat to produce fragrant rice oil.

Finally, there was a voice from inside the door, an indifferent "come in".

Zhang Nanyan was very happy, and turned back to look at Zheng Fan: "I'll go to serve porridge." ”

Zheng Fan was surprised and nodded.

Zhang Nanyan trotted to the kitchen, filled a small bowl of millet porridge, and a small plate of her own pickled garlic sprouts, and brought them over.

"Ma'am, shall I send you in?"

"Hmm." There was an answer from inside the room.

Zhang Nanyan looked at Zheng Fan and smiled happily.

Zheng Fan also showed a pleased smile. He walked over and opened the door.

Zhang Nanyan walked in cautiously, she thought about it, and put the meal on the table by the window. Then, she opened the window and let the breeze blow in through it.

"This maple leaf is so beautiful." Zhang Nanyan said softly: "Facing the beautiful scenery, your meal will be a little fragrant." ”

Xia Baiping turned her head slowly and looked out the window: "Do you know this is a maple tree?" ”

"Well, the mountains in my hometown are full of maple trees, and in autumn, the red and yellow ones are intertwined, and they are very beautiful."

"Many people can't tell the difference between maple leaves and red leaves, Xiangshan red leaves are coxagulus, and this is a compound leaf maple."

Zhang Nanyan asked curiously, "Compound leaf maple?" All I know is that maple leaves have pentagonal and triangular ones. ”

"There are many varieties of maple trees, such as pentagonal maple, triangular maple, and truncatum maple, and the colors are not only red, but also yellow and orange. This is compound leaf maple, also called compound leaf maple and sugar maple, the sap flowing from its trunk can be boiled into maple sugar, maple sugar is very sweet. ”

Xia Baiping seemed to be stuck in memory.

"Ma'am, you know a lot." Zhang Nanyan said admiringly: "Shall I help you come over for dinner?" ”

"Okay."

Xia Baiping unexpectedly agreed.

Zhang Nanyan hurriedly helped Xia Baiping into a wheelchair and pushed her to a safe position away from the window.

"Go a little further." Xia Baiping looked at the window.

Zhang Nanyan hesitated.

"Afraid I'll kill myself?" Xia Baiping, who was chatting calmly in the last second, suddenly rolled her eyelids and stared at Zhang Nanyan, lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you get your wish, I will sit firmly in Mrs. Zheng's position!" ”

Zhang Nanyan suddenly had a cold shock, and her hands and feet trembled and froze on the spot.

"Push me to the window, I want to watch the maple leaves fall one by one, I think the colors are bright, but in fact they are the precursors of decay, no matter how arrogant I am, I still want to rot in the mud."

Cool air rose from the soles of Zhang Nanyan's feet, and she looked back at Professor Zheng, who was standing at the door of the room, his eyes full of worry.

Xia Baiping also looked at Zheng Fan.

"He wants you to stay, so I'll fulfill him." Xia Baiping said softly in a cold voice: "Okay, push me to the window." ”

Zhang Nanyan stabilized her mind and pushed Xia Baiping to the side of the window. She adjusted the position of the table and moved it to Xia Baiping. In this way, the dining table and the corner of the wall hold the wheelchair in a relatively safe position.

Zhang Nanyan put millet porridge and side dishes in front of Xia Baiping, and the faint fragrance of rice wafted.

When she was doing all this, Xia Baiping looked at her silently and sneered.

Then, Xia Baiping watched intently at the maple leaves falling one by one outside the window.

Zhang Nanyan was in the middle of it, trembling and uneasy. But in Zheng Fan's eyes, this picture is a rare calm.

After setting up the meal, Zhang Nanyan withdrew from the room in panic,

Zheng Fan looked at his quiet wife, the tranquility that he hadn't had for a long time rose from his heart, and he said to Zhang Nanyan with relief: "I will work hard for you in the future." I went to work. ”

Zhang Nanyan clenched her sweaty palms, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

Zheng Fan went out to work.

Zhang Nanyan first looked at Xia Baiping's condition, and Xia Baiping kept quietly looking out the window.

She quickly cleaned up the kitchen.

Zhang Nanyan always pays attention to the situation in the bedroom while cleaning.

Today, Xia Baiping is very quiet, as if yesterday's madness was an illusion. Until Zhang Nanyan cleaned up, she still sat quietly by the window.

Zhang Nanyan didn't dare to disturb her, so she put away the clothes drying on the balcony and ironed them neatly in the living room.

At noon, Zhang Nanyan cooked a meal and sent it to Xia Baiping. She found that the millet porridge in the morning did not seem to have any traces of eating, but the side dish was empty of a small corner.

She asked happily and carefully, "Madam, is it still to your taste?" ”

Xia Baiping looked at her with a smile: "Very good, I like it very much." ”

"Great, I'll do it for you in the evening."

Zhang Nanyan reached out to clean up the dishes.

Xia Baiping put one finger against the plate......
