Mrs. Zhu is 72 years old, her wife died of illness more than 10 years ago, and she lives alone in a small villa next to the wetland park.
Mrs. Zhu's husband used to run a medicinal herb company, leaving Mrs. Zhu a lot of property, and now she has more than 3 million deposits in the bank, and she herself has a large box of gold and silver jewelry.
In addition to this small villa, Mrs. Zhu also has two facades in the city, and she also has a rental income of 10,000 yuan per month.
Mrs. Zhu has only one son, and her son has been smart and studious since he was a child, and others say that the higher a smart son flies, the farther away from home, and a mediocre son will often stay with his parents, which is indeed true.
After graduating from college, Mrs. Zhu's son went to the United States to study, and later started a family there, and had no plans to return to China to settle down.
After Mrs. Zhu's husband died, her son also invited her mother to live in the United States, but Mrs. Zhu did not understand English, and she did not want to go to a foreign country where she was unfamiliar to suffer, so she refused the kindness of her son and daughter-in-law.
Anyway, in China, she has many relatives and friends, and she is not too lonely in her usual life.
But when Mrs. Zhu was 65 years old, she suffered from vertigo, often felt dizzy, and sometimes felt like the world was spinning, although she went to a big hospital for treatment, but it has not been cured.
After her son found out, he asked Mrs. Zhu to hire a nanny to take care of her life, so that if she was sick, there would be someone by her side to take care of her at any time.
Mrs. Zhu asked the employment agency to introduce her to a nanny according to her son's words, and Mrs. Zhu was fat, so she asked to find a male nanny to take care of her, so that when she fainted, the male nanny could help more.
The employment agency was a little embarrassed, after all, there were not too many male nannies, but they still tried their best to help Mrs. Zhu find a suitable partner.
Later, an old man surnamed Wang came to apply, he was from the countryside, he used to work as a nurse in the hospital, in order to earn more money, he was willing to go to Mrs. Zhu's house to be a male nanny.
When Mrs. Zhu saw Lao Wang, she had a good impression of him, although Lao Wang was not very tall, less than 1.7 meters, but he looked relatively strong, he was not yet 60 years old, and he spoke more funny.
With him by Mrs. Zhu's side and telling jokes to relieve her boredom, Mrs. Zhu felt that time passed very quickly, and she was in a very good mood.
In the second month, she raised Lao Wang's salary from 6,000 yuan to 7,000 yuan, and Lao Wang took more care of Mrs. Zhu.
Lao Wang not only cooks and washes for Mrs. Zhu, but also accompanies her to the park for a walk, and people who don't know the inside story think that Mrs. Zhu has found a wife and congratulate her, which makes Lao Wang and Mrs. Zhu very embarrassed.
Once, Mrs. Zhu's vertigo disease was committed again, lying on the bed and not daring to get out of bed, Lao Wang took care of it very patiently, he brought the food to Mrs. Zhu's bedside, and fed her spoonful by spoonful, which moved Mrs. Zhu to a mess.
When watching TV at night, Mrs. Zhu sat beside Mrs. Zhu and helped her massage her body, Mrs. Zhu took Wang's hand and said: "You are still the most intimate to me, my wife has never cared about me so much." ”
Mrs. Zhu didn't want to think about it, she was Lao Wang's food and clothing parents, of course he had to do his best for her, right?
In this way, Mrs. Zhu gave Lao Wang a salary increase, and Lao Wang could get 8,000 yuan a month.
He stayed by Mrs. Zhu's bedside every day, and in the middle of the night, Mrs. Zhu let him go to bed and lie down next to her to rest.
Over time, the two of them lived in the same room, and the relationship between them was like living together as a partner, and like a male nanny taking care of a female employer.
Anyway, it was the two of them who benefited, Mrs. Zhu received love and care, and Lao Wang had a good salary every month.
Lao Wang worked in Mrs. Zhu's house for 5 years, and then his mother in the countryside suffered from cerebral infarction and was paralyzed in bed, so Wang had to quit his job and go home to take care of his wife, and Mrs. Zhu had to go back to find a nanny.
This time, Mrs. Zhu hired a young female nanny, Xiao Zhang, who is only in her 30s, has formal nanny training, and is very handy in taking care of Mrs. Zhu's daily life.
Mrs. Zhu can hardly find fault with Xiao Zhang, but Mrs. Zhu always feels that Xiao Zhang has a kind of professional indifference, Mrs. Zhu and her are the relationship between the employer and the nanny, and she can't find a trace of home warmth.
On the weekend, Mrs. Zhu took a taxi to the countryside to visit her younger brother on a whim.
Mrs. Zhu's parents are long gone, and there is only one younger brother in her mother's family, he is 5 years younger than Mrs. Zhu, his body is still very strong, and he has been living in the countryside.
Mrs. Zhu's younger brother has a son and a daughter, and the son works in a unit in another province and rarely goes home. After her daughter got married, because she was not far from home, she often went back to her parents' house to take care of her parents.
Today, my niece is also at her parents' house, so Mrs. Zhu asked her niece: "Xiao Ai, you haven't been to my place to play for a long time, have you forgotten your aunt?" ”
Xiao Ai said apologetically: "Auntie, I am busy with work and family during this time, so I can't spare time to visit your old man's house, I'm sorry." ”
Xiao Ai is a college graduate and has been working in the factory, and now her son is still in junior high school, and the study task is tight, Xiao Ai has to supervise her son's study at any time, and both the family and the factory are busy.
Xiao Ai often went to Mrs. Zhu's house to play when she was a child, Mrs. Zhu has always loved this niece very much, often bought her food and clothes, and even her own son was jealous and said: "Mom, Sister Xiao Ai is your daughter, you treat her better than me!" ”
Now, Mrs. Zhu still feels that her niece is close, her son has gone abroad, and she has fewer relatives around her, and she is closer to her niece.
Mrs. Zhu said: "You work very hard in the factory, right? How much can I get paid now? ”
Xiao Ai complained: "I work as a clerk, no matter whether the factory is busy or not, I can only earn 4,500 yuan a month." ”
Mrs. Zhu smiled: "You have studied in a junior college, but you don't earn as much as my little nanny, I give her 5,500 yuan every month." ”
Xiao Ai said: "What can be done? Now it's hard to find a job outside, I want to work with my husband to provide a house and raise a son, and I can only do it if I am not satisfied! ”
When Mrs. Zhu heard this, she thought about it.
She felt sorry for her niece, and thought that if she could help her niece and let her improve her current family situation, she could live a more comfortable life.
This is just like the feeling of parents who cherish their children and plan for their children, and she also thinks about her niece as if she were her own daughter.
Mrs. Zhu said: "Xiao Ai, I think so, your work is also relatively hard, and you don't earn much money, it is better for your family to move to me to live, take care of my life, I will pay you a salary, my aunt will not treat you badly, what do you think?" ”
Xiao Ai's eyes widened, looked at Mrs. Zhu in surprise, and said, "Auntie, didn't your family hire a nanny?" ”
Mrs. Zhu said: "Your cousin has been abroad, I live very lonely, the nanny is not a relative, how many years, I am also looking forward to the kind of family life with relatives reunited and full of children and grandchildren!" ”
"So, Xiao Ai, I want to invite you to my house, as for the nanny, I can dismiss her and let you take care of me, are you willing?"
Xiao Ai is still a little hesitant, after all, she works in the factory, her job is still very stable, and the factory will buy her insurance every month, she goes to take care of her aunt, that is, she works as a nanny for her aunt, this identity gap makes her a little difficult to accept.
Mrs. Zhu saw that her niece was still hesitating, so she said, "Xiao Ai, are you still reluctant to work in the factory?" If you come to accompany me, I will give you 300 yuan a day, 9,000 yuan a month, and continue to buy social security for you, which is equivalent to me using the rent money to pay you a salary, and also give me my own pension, okay? ”
Xiao Ai thought that her aunt's salary was twice as much as her working in the factory, which was a once-in-a-lifetime errand, and she felt that she was still in the clouds, as if she was dreaming.
She said uncertainly, "Auntie, what do I do when I go to your house?" ”
Mrs. Zhu looked at her niece lovingly, and said with a smile: "How you live at home, how you live there in me, treat me as your family member, help me cook, wash clothes, and talk to me, it's that simple!" ”
Mrs. Zhu said again: "My house is wide, you call your husband and son to live together, so that the family is more lively, we are like a family, living together, what do you think?" ”
Can Xiao Ai refrain from resigning?
Obviously, her aunt is thinking about her, she is going to her aunt's house to be a nanny, in fact, her aunt is asking her to take her family to her house as a guest, and she can still get a high salary, which is much more comfortable than working in the factory.
Xiao Ai's father also said next to him: "This dare is good, Xiao Ai, your cousin is not at home, you go to accompany your aunt and take care of her life, so that your cousin should also rest assured at home." ”
Xiao Ai nodded, after she went home and discussed with her husband Xiao Ding, Xiao Ding also felt that his wife's new job was very good, he helped his wife pack up her clothes, and sent Xiao Ai to Mrs. Zhu's house the next day.
Mrs. Zhu was very happy, she had already fired the nanny Xiao Zhang, and also paid her an extra month's salary, and said to her: "My niece is going to take care of me, and there are not so many people at home, so you can go back to find a job!" ”
Now Mrs. Zhu was full of relaxation, and she said to Xiao Ding, "Why didn't you bring your clothes here?" In the future, this will not only be my home, but also the home of you and Xiao Ai. ”
Xiao Ding is a salesman in the company, and his speech is very sweet, he said to Mrs. Zhu: "Auntie, do you really want me to move here too?" Not your kind words, right? Don't I dare take it seriously? ”
Mrs. Zhu smiled and said: "Of course it's true, you naughty ghost, my aunt just wants your family to come and live, there is a room at home, so how lively the villa is, you go and pick up the children, we will all eat hot pot at night." ”
Xiao Ding happily agreed, and joked to Xiao Ai and Mrs. Zhu: "I really can't imagine that a poor person like me will live in a villa one day, and this is all stained with my aunt's light!" ”
Since that day, Mrs. Zhu's family has several more family members.
Every morning, when Mrs. Zhu got up, Xiao Ai went to her room to say "good morning" to her, helped her get clothes from the closet, and her niece personally served her, and she was in a very good mood.
Mrs. Zhu doesn't eat milk for breakfast, she likes to drink soy milk, Xiao Ai personally squeezed fresh soy milk for her, plus a little peanuts and walnuts to press the juice, which is very mellow, and Mrs. Zhu praised Xiao Ai's good craftsmanship again and again.
The old man's body fell in love with fire, Xiao Ai used freshly boiled pure water, brewed a cup of frangipani, put a drop of sesame oil, Mrs. Zhu drank it for a few days, her body was actually very comfortable, she felt that her niece knew a lot of things.
Every day when Xiao Ding goes to work and after the children go to school, Xiao Ai accompanies Mrs. Zhu to the park for a walk, or takes her to the market to buy vegetables, so that she can taste the fireworks of life more.
Mrs. Zhu walked a lot and lost a few pounds of meat, and she felt a lot more relaxed.
In the evening, after Xiaoding and the child came back, the house was full of cheerful laughter, and Mrs. Zhu's heart was warm.
At the dinner table, Xiao Ding talked about his interesting things in the company, Mrs. Zhu listened with wide eyes, and sometimes smiled "hehe", and said, "Is there such a fun thing?" ”
Xiao Ai's child also affectionately called Mrs. Zhu "grandma", Mrs. Zhu's heart was about to sprout, she hurriedly touched the banknote from her pocket, took out a red "Grandpa Mao", stuffed it into the child's pocket, hugged him and said: "My good grandson, you call grandma again, grandma will give you money to buy delicious food." ”
When Xiao Ai had nothing to do, she taught Mrs. Zhu to play with her mobile phone, shoot videos for her, and post Tik Tok, and after Mrs. Zhu learned it, she excitedly sent the video to her son to see.
The son, who was far away, happily asked his mother: "Mom, look at your spirit, you are getting younger and younger, and your life is not bad!" ”
Mrs. Zhu said: "With your cousin and cousin-in-law at home with me, I am in a good mood, of course I am in good spirits!" When you were a child, you said that your mother was partial to your cousin, but now you can see that your mother was prescient, right? Mom can't rely on your son for the elderly, or she has to rely on your cousin. ”
The son said apologetically: "Mom, I'm sorry, I should thank my cousin more, she is helping me do my filial piety!" ”
Mrs. Zhu's son is a grateful person, he gave Xiao Ai 200,000 yuan and asked her and Xiao Ding to drive a new car.
In this way, when it came to the holidays, Xiao Ding drove a new car, carrying Mrs. Zhu and Xiao Ai, the child, and the whole family went out to travel and enjoy the scenery, Mrs. Zhu hugged her nephew and grandson, and she was also happy like a child.
She thought: Although others say that money is not everything, money can solve more than 90% of things, it can make you choose the lifestyle you want, it can take you to where you want to go, and it can also allow you to get a comfortable life while benefiting others.
Although money can't buy her son's company, she can also use other methods to win a life full of children and grandchildren and relatives by her side.
Therefore, if the elderly want to have a comfortable old age, they must plan early, save more pension funds, and don't put all their hopes on their children.
When you have wealth to rely on, you can win the old age without worry, and life will naturally be more fulfilling.
Are you planning for your retirement?
