41. Livelihoods are cruel
"Don't call anyone......" Zhang Nanyan pleaded, desperate to get up.
After moving a little, I realized that my whole body was sore, especially my neck, which was stiff and painful, and I guessed that I was leaning against the wall and falling asleep.
Didn't he sit at the door and wait for Bai Jing and Jin Mian? How can you fall asleep unconsciously?
She was very annoyed, feeling ashamed, and even more afraid that if they really found a teacher, then her secret sleeping in the dormitory would be exposed.
"Please, don't look for a teacher." She put her hands on the ground and tried to stand up quickly, but unfortunately she had no strength in her whole body.
The two girls hurriedly helped her up.
After Zhang Nanyan stood up, she was so dizzy that she had to hold on to the wall to barely stand firm.
"How do you sleep on the floor at the door? Don't have a key? A girl asked, "I'll help you ask the dormitory manager to open the door." ”
"No, no." Zhang Nanyan hurriedly waved her hand, and she explained worriedly: "I...... I'm waiting for Bai Jing, and she'll be back soon. ”
"You have a fever, do I need to take you to the school hospital?"
"I'm fine, thank you, you guys go to class."
The two girls repeatedly confirmed that they did not need to send Zhang Nanyan to the hospital, so they left.
Zhang Nanyan touched her forehead and couldn't feel the heat, but the breath exhaled from her nose was dry and hot, and her throat hurt badly.
Maybe it's a bit of a fever.
Zhang Nanyan didn't care, colds were commonplace for her. Since she was a child, no matter whether she counts nine cold days or dog days, she has to do a lot of work every day, including housework at home, farm work in the fields, and taking care of her younger brother...... She works a lot, but eats less, and the delicious food has to be eaten by her brother first, and the eggs laid by the hens at home are all for her brother's body, and she has never had her share. Therefore, her younger brother Zhang Xiong is tall and big, but she is thin and small, she has constant minor illnesses all year round, and she usually has a sore throat when there is a change of day, not to mention winter, there is no day that she does not catch a cold.
After so many years, she has long been used to it, and she carried it over after a few days when she was sick.
Zhang Nanyan looked at the door of the dormitory, it was still General Tie who guarded the door, and they didn't go back to the dormitory all night last night.
Now that it was dawn, she thought about it, let's go to the labor market first.
Yesterday there was a middle-aged man in the labor market looking for a caregiver who was looking for an experienced one, but in the end he couldn't find a suitable one. Today, Zhang Nanyan wants to try her luck again, in case the middle-aged man doesn't find a suitable one, she can fight for it again.
It has been almost a month since she came to the capital, and she has spent hundreds of yuan on tickets and daily expenses, and even if she saves it, the money on her body will not last for a few months. She had to find a job as soon as possible.
Zhang Nanyan went to the public toilet at the end of the corridor to wash her face, and the cool tap water was sprinkled on her face, and the feeling of heat and dryness disappeared a lot.
Zhang Nanyanqiang cheered up and went to the labor market.
When I arrived at the labor market, I didn't wait long, and sure enough, I saw that the man who was looking for a caregiver yesterday came again, and this time there was a woman who came with him.
It seems that they are husband and wife, the woman is dressed very fashionably, slightly chubby, and well maintained, but her expression and attitude are a little mean. She kept complaining about the indecision of men all the way, if she had found a good care yesterday, she wouldn't have to make another trip today.
The man whispered: "It's not that I didn't find a suitable one." ”
The woman glared: "I know to find a reason, it must be that you didn't look for it well!" ”
Men are submissive and dare not speak.
The women who sat under the railing of the bridge and waited for the work looked at the husband and wife arguing, pouted and mocked, and said, "This kind of work cannot be done, it is difficult to deal with at first glance." If you are not willing to pay for heavy work, only fools are willing to go! ”
Zhang Nanyan planned to be this fool.
For so many days, she has not been able to find a job, all those who come to recruit workers, either strong and powerful, or spicy and experienced, when they see her shy and thin appearance, the master shook his head again and again.
Even if everyone is not happy to work now, she is willing, as long as she can earn money.
Unfortunately, when she plucked up the courage to apply yesterday, she was rejected. The host family is looking for a nurse with a nurse qualification.
The couple walked over. The woman looked at the migrant workers condescendingly, her eyes were very picky, and her breath was spraying out of her nostrils.
"Recruit nurses, twenty a day, take care of food, does anyone do it?"
Rural women are also not happy to be looked at like this, and there are people who choke her at the moment: "No one can do the price you give." Last time, I was a dog sitter for 700 a month. ”
The middle-aged woman broke out on the spot, pointed at the workers and scolded: "What did you say? You repeat! ”
The rural women were spicy and choked back: "What did I say? I'll be honest! If you don't want to spend money, you can go home and serve yourself, and you don't have to spend a penny! ”
Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel, the people next to him hurriedly played a round.
The man advised his wife: "Wife, don't be angry with these people, don't be angry." ”
The woman snorted: "No quality, let's go!" ”
The man hesitated: "Then where to find a nurse, the nurse in the hospital is precious." ”
The woman glared at him: "There are so many nurses in the hospital, isn't it their job to care for patients?" I don't believe they dare to let the old lady die in the hospital. Walk! ”
The man hurried to catch up with the woman, and the two walked under the bridge.
Zhang Nanyan got up quietly and chased after him.
chased under the overpass, and after crossing the intersection, Zhang Nanyan called them timidly.
"Uncle, aunt, are you looking for a nurse? I'm capable. ”
The couple stopped and turned to look at Zhang Nanyan.
The woman asked, "Twenty a day, would you like?" ”
Zhang Nanyan nodded: "You said to manage the rice?" ”
"Take care of the meal, two meals a day, and you don't have to accompany the bed to eat at night."
"I'm willing to do it."
But the man saw that Zhang Nanyan was a thin little girl, and hesitated: "What is your education?" Do you have a nurse's certificate? ”
The woman glared at the man: "What kind of education do you need to serve patients?" ”
Zhang Nanyan hurriedly said: "My grandmother's leg is not good, and I used to take care of it." ”
"Okay, then you can come with us."
Zhang Nanyan followed the couple into a taxi.
On the way, they told Zhang Nanyan about the situation.
The couple, the man's surname is Qian, the woman's surname is Sun, the man's mother and the woman's mother-in-law have suffered a stroke and have been paralyzed for many years, and their condition has recently worsened and they have been admitted to the hospital. During the day, the husband and wife both went to work, and the old lady had no one to take care of them, so the nurse urged them to find a nurse.
"You only need to take care of it from half past seven in the morning to six in the evening, and you can take care of two meals a day, breakfast and lunch, and the old lady takes good care of it, you are really lucky to find such an easy job."
Zhang Nanyan nodded again and again.
When they arrived at the hospital, the couple led Zhang Nanyan into the ward. In the hospital room of the three, the old lady slept on the bed by the door, lying on the bed one after another*.
The woman said fiercely: "I have been paralyzed for nine years, and I can't speak well, but I call every day, which makes people uneasy." ”
The man came to the old lady's bedside and said loudly, "Mom, this is the caretaker I found for you, let her serve you during the day, and I will come over after work." ”
The old lady didn't lift her eyelids, just hummed.
"Let's go, I'll take two hours off!" The woman urged.
The man explained a few more words to Zhang Nanyan and left with the woman.
