Ninety-six, the housekeeper's sister
"Sister housekeeper, am I the child that Baba Ma picked up from the trash can?" When the housekeeper bathed Jiu Ge with the bath bucket, Jiu Ge asked.
"What stupid are you talking about?" The housekeeper poked Jiu Ge's head.
Then, she picked up a towel and wiped Jiu Ge's body.
Afraid that Jiu Ge would freeze, the housekeeper wrapped Jiu Ge tightly with a blanket and carried him back to the room directly in his arms.
"But Baba Ma rarely comes to see me, and she doesn't let me go to kindergarten very much." Jiu Ge nestled in the quilt, his eyes a little sour.
She doesn't socialize, she doesn't have much entertainment, and she doesn't go out much.
Nothing you want to do is allowed.
"It would be nice when you grow up, you're still young." The butler touched Jiu Ge's forehead.
In fact, she also felt sorry for this little girl, but as a chosen child, there was no way to do it, so she could only treat it according to the family rules.
"Growing up, it's easy to mess with?" Jiu Ge blinked, his face puzzled.
"Hmm."
"How big?"
"Probably when I was my height."
"That's going to take a long time."
"Indeed."
"Could it be that I gave it to Xiaoling for the call fee?"
"You jumped out of the rock."
"I'm not a monkey."
"You're born to your parents anyway."
"Sister Housekeeper's parents?"
"Of course it's your own parents, please don't say such scary things......
"I want to hang out."
"Not for the time being, just grow up."
"I want to hear bedtime stories."
"yes, okay."
The butler sat on the edge of the bed and began to tell the fairy tale she had told countless times.
Princes and princesses.
Strange thieves and detectives.
Tortoises and rabbits.
Kings and new clothes.
As he spoke, Jiu Ge became sleepy-eyed.
"The eldest lady will also have the right prince to marry you in the future." The butler gently stroked Jiu Ge's forehead.
"Prince Charming?"
Hearing the word prince, Jiu Ge, who was about to fall asleep, widened his eyes again.
"Well, when the time comes, the family will choose the right person for you."
"The prince and I don't want to be chosen, the princess and prince in the fairy tale book all find each other by themselves......" Jiuge said, his eyes half-squinted and half-closed, and he became confused again.
"In the adult world, a lot of things are involuntary." Dropping the words, the butler got up.
After rearranging the quilt on Jiu Ge's body, she turned off the light and walked out of the door.
……
Another month has passed, and Jiu Ge still hasn't seen his parents.
Finally, one night, she received a call from her mother.
When the housekeeper handed over the heavy mobile phone with the voice of his parents to Jiu Ge, Jiu Ge's little hands were trembling.
Because she doesn't communicate with people for a long time, she is very introverted.
On weekdays, except for the housekeeper's sister, Jiu Ge can not say a word to others all day.
Answering the phone or something is a test of courage for her.
But the one on the phone who can't stand up to all this is his parents.
"Jiuge, how are you doing?"
Putting the phone to his ear, his mother's voice came out.
"I'm fine, Baba Mama?"
"What a poop and a ma, how do I usually teach you, I can't even pronounce the words correctly, and didn't I say it before, I want to call my father and mother."
"I'm sorry...... Mother's ......"
The enthusiasm was suddenly extinguished.
Jiu Ge wanted to cry, but she didn't dare.
A phone call ended in a few minutes, and except for Jiu Ge's study, spiritual power, whether he was obedient or not, and whether he listened or not, Jiu Ge's parents didn't care about anything else
Feeling.
Hearing the housekeeper say that Jiu Ge was very smart, had good academic performance, and was very worry-free, they didn't say anything, let alone praise it.
The weekend when he received a call from his parents, the housekeeper went out with Jiu Ge in his arms for the first time.
The outside world is very different from the inside.
At that time, there weren't so many mischievous spirits, and Jiu Ge had never seen evil spirits.
Seeing the spirit on the side of the road, Jiu Ge stuffed his head tightly into the butler's arms.
The butler didn't have any psychic abilities, he couldn't see what was floating around, and he didn't know if spirits were scary.
She only took such a job because of her poor family background, and she knew a little about psychics.
For a housekeeper, channeling is probably about the same as fortune-telling on the street.
There are many stalls selling small items and food on the road.
From time to time, Jiu Ge stretched out his head to look at the scenes outside, and from time to time he retracted his head into the butler's arms.
There were a lot of people outside, but everyone didn't seem to be very well dressed.
She didn't know why the housekeeper would turn off the security guard and suddenly take her out to play, you must know that this is something that is not allowed in the family.
"Oh, your daughter is so pretty!" The middle-aged woman selling marshmallows said to the housekeeper passing by.
"Thank you." The butler smiled and continued inside.
"Sister housekeeper is actually me Mama? Wrong...... Mother?" Jiu Ge raised his head in horror.
"No, it's just polite." The housekeeper sighed, looking very helpless.
"Oooh."
"Do you want to go to a stall?" The butler pointed to the surrounding stalls.
Some stalls also sell small toys.
Transparent six-colored plastic sticks, balls that can be retracted back and forth, rag dolls, and fireworks that look like cake hats and ten-colored glowing strings.
"Stall?"
Jiu Ge peeked over, and his eyes lit up.
"What a beautiful doll." Her mouth was open in an O-shape, and her eyes were locked on the doll.
"Then I'll buy you one, I'm sorry, because I don't have enough money myself, so I can't go to the mall to buy you a better looking doll."
Putting Jiu Ge down, the housekeeper took out the worn-out banknotes, counted them, and handed them to the boss.
As soon as Jiu Ge was put down, he noticed the poor little boy spirit in the corner who looked to have a leg injury and was in pain.
"Are you alright?" Summoning up her courage, she walked over in small steps and asked in a whisper.
The little boy looked like he couldn't stand up, and tears were in the corners of his eyes.
"Don't cry." Jiu Ge waved his little hand and comforted.
Although the floating spirits were terrifying, the little boy was really pitiful.
Suddenly, the little boy's spirit made a big grimace, the scars on his body disappeared, and bloody tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"Hahahahaha
One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, Jiu Ge cried.
The housekeeper didn't have time to take the doll, so he rushed to Jiu Ge and hugged Jiu Ge.
On the way home, the housekeeper hugged Jiu Ge and coaxed for a long time.
She hugged Jiu Ge, and Jiu Ge buried his head in her arms.
Jiu Ge was holding the doll, and the doll's head was facing Jiu Ge's arms.
"Thank you, Sister Housekeeper, I am very happy today, and Sister Housekeeper will take me out to play in the future."
"I wanted to too, but you cried when you went out today."
"It's the spirit's fault."
「……」
The butler was silent.
She couldn't see the spirits, and she didn't know what they looked like.
Before taking care of Jiu Ge, she had never even believed in the existence of spirits.
As far as the steward was concerned, she had no say in such matters.
