The door was opened by an old man with gray hair and a slightly stiff but kind demeanor. He introduced himself and said that his name was Zheng Lidong, 61 years old this year, and he was the one who needed a nanny. After I briefly introduced myself, Uncle Zheng invited me into the house to sit down, poured me a glass of water, and said with a smile: "Little sister is so beautiful, is it okay to call you plums?" I smiled a little uncomfortably and said that it was okay to call me Li Mei.
Uncle Zheng warmly welcomed me for lunch, and kept praising me for cooking deliciously. After eating, he hugged my shoulder and said, "Meizi, you see that you are skinny, I will make delicious food for you every day, and you will soon be able to grow meat!" I was a little surprised and avoided his hug, thinking that maybe the uncle was just out of friendliness, but I still felt a little uncomfortable.
After lunch, Uncle Zheng took me to visit the room, pointed to the old photos hanging on the wall and said, "This is me and my late wife, who have been married for 50 years, but unfortunately she left last year, leaving me to live alone." Speaking of this, the uncle's tone was full of loneliness. He pointed to the smiling child in the photo and said, "This is my son and daughter, both of whom have settled abroad, come back to see me once a year, and they don't call me often." ”
I looked at Uncle Zheng's lonely appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and said, "Uncle, with me here to take care of you, you don't have to worry about things in life, I will try my best to make you happy." ”
Uncle Zheng patted my hand with satisfaction and said, "Meizi, I'm relieved to have you here." I am not in good health, I can't cook and wash my own clothes, and I need someone to take care of me. You'll be my helper from now on. ”
I nodded and said, "Uncle, I will definitely take care of your daily life wholeheartedly and let you live comfortably." ”
I gradually became familiar with Uncle Zheng's diet Xi habits and tastes, and worked hard to make nutritious and delicious dishes. During the meal, Uncle Zheng often praised my good craftsmanship, and often said: "Meizi, the food you cook is so delicious, it is even better than my wife's cooking!" I smiled and said, "Uncle, you have won the award, and I will continue to work hard to make more delicious dishes for you to eat." ”
In addition to cooking and chatting, I will also regularly wash Uncle Zheng's clothes, clean the room, and buy daily necessities. Uncle Zheng was very satisfied with my service and often said that I was the best nanny he had ever met. Every time he said this, he would hug me excitedly, and I was a little uncomfortable at first, but thinking of Uncle Zheng's loneliness, I accepted his move.
Three months later, I found that Uncle Zheng's physical contact with me was becoming more frequent and intimate. Every now and then he would ask me to sit on his lap or clasp my fingers together with him. Once, when I was peeling fruit for Uncle Zheng to eat, he hugged me from behind and kissed me on the cheek. I was stunned, and quickly broke free, blushing and said, "Uncle, how can you do this? I'm your nanny!"
Uncle Zheng said with some annoyance: "I'm sorry Meizi, I offended." But I'm so lonely, can you understand me?" I hesitated, but still persuaded him: "Uncle, I understand your loneliness, but some things are not allowed. I'll be with you all the time, but we have to keep our distance, you know?" Uncle Zheng nodded, as if he understood what I meant.
In the following month, Uncle Zheng's physical contact still occurred from time to time, but I tried to avoid him as much as possible and kept my distance. Until one day, when I was doing laundry, Uncle Zheng suddenly hugged me from behind and began to kiss my neck, I pushed him away in a panic and said, "Uncle, this is too much! ”
With that, I quickly ran back to my room and began to pack my things. At this time, Uncle Zheng came over and said with teary eyes: "Meizi, you can't leave me alone! I looked at Uncle Zheng who was crying, my heart softened, and after thinking about it, I decided to accompany him for a while.
Uncle Zheng nodded hurriedly and said, "Meizi, I know it's wrong, and I promise you that I will never do something like that again." It's my blessing that you'll continue to be with me, and I'll do that. ”
I nodded and said, "Then we'll settle it." I will take care of your daily life, and you must be considerate of my difficulties. ”
After that, I continued to work, and Uncle Zheng also kept his promise and never acted out of the ordinary. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that my uncle might have been lonely for a while and did those things.
Another month passed, and one day I was cleaning Uncle Zheng's bedroom, and I accidentally saw that the drawers of his bedside table were not closed tightly. Curiosity drove me to open the drawer and take a look, and then I saw a family photo. In the photo, Uncle Zheng and his two children are smiling very happily.
I was a little confused, so I found a reason to ask Uncle Zheng: "Uncle, I accidentally saw your family photo just now." The relationship between the children up there seems to be very good, why did you say that they rarely contact you?"
I intuitively felt that Uncle Zheng's words were strange, and decided to go to the neighbors to inquire about the truth. An old lady told me that Uncle Zheng's children came back to visit him every two months, and they called every week to greet him, and the relationship was very good.
I was shocked, and hurriedly returned to Uncle Zheng's house, and asked him directly: "Uncle, I have investigated clearly, and your relationship with your children is not as bad as you said! Why are you making up those words?"
I was disappointed and said, "Uncle, you shouldn't use this way to win attention. I could have genuinely cared about you, but I'm sad to be so lied to you. ”
Uncle Zheng nodded and said, "You're right, I shouldn't lie to you." Actually, I have a good relationship with my children, but they don't visit me often enough, and I still feel very lonely. With you by my side, I feel a long-lost sense of satisfaction. This is the happiest day for my old bone. ”
I listened to Uncle Zheng's explanation, and the disappointment in my heart dissipated a little. I understand the feelings of lonely old people who want to be loved,
Although he used the wrong method, I decided to forgive him.
"Uncle, I understand your feelings, so I have decided to continue to accompany you until you need me. But the premise is to respect each other and keep a proper distance, okay?" I said to Uncle Zheng gently.
"Meizi, thank you for your understanding! I promise that I will not do anything beyond the line again, and I will respect your wishes. Please keep me there, I really need you. Uncle Zheng said excitedly.
So, I continued to work to take care of Uncle Zheng's life. Uncle Zheng corrected his previous mistakes, and we resumed normal employer-employee relations.
As time passed, I gradually became an indispensable part of Uncle Zheng's life. I learned to take care of his emotions and make him feel happy and satisfied.
One day, Uncle Zheng's son and daughter suddenly returned to China to visit him. The family gathered together, and Uncle Zheng was as happy as a child. After dinner, my children said to me, "Meizi, thanks to your careful care during this time, my father's health and mental state have improved, and our whole family is very grateful to you." ”
I was a little embarrassed: "This is what I should do, don't worry, I will continue to take good care of my uncle." ”
That night, Uncle Zheng said to me excitedly: "Meizi, I haven't been so happy for a long time since my family is reunited today! ”
I smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm also very happy to see you happy." I will always be with you and make you happy. ”
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, I have been with Uncle Zheng for three years. In the past three years, I have learned how to make Uncle Zheng feel happy, and he has gradually learned to receive love through proper means. I became an indispensable part of his family.
Until one day, Uncle Zheng's body had problems
"Uncle, you have a bad appetite lately, is there something wrong with you?" I asked worriedly.
"Maybe it's time for my old bones. Meizi, my last request is that I want you to stay with me until the last minute, okay?" Uncle Zheng said weakly.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will always be with you. We still have a lot of time to spend together, so take care of yourself. I said reluctantly.
I began to take more care of Uncle Zheng, but his health deteriorated. Finally one day, I held Uncle Zheng's hand, watched him take his last breath, and gently closed his eyes.
I was heartbroken and tears welled up in my eyes. Uncle Zheng left this world peacefully, and I feel that he has gained peace in life.
Before leaving, Uncle Zheng left me a letter, with only a simple sentence on it: "Meizi, thank you for accompanying me through the last days of my life, I will always remember your kindness." ”
After reading Uncle Zheng's suicide note, I couldn't help but burst into tears. It turned out that in his heart, my companionship was so important.
Uncle Zheng's children are also very grateful to me for taking care of my father over the years. My son said to me: "Meizi, I really don't know how my father would live without you in the past few years, and it is his blessing to meet you." Can you come to Dad's funeral?"
"I will definitely go. Uncle Zheng is very important to me, and I want to accompany him on his last journey. I said firmly.
Uncle Zheng's funeral was simple but grand. I stood in front of the tomb and looked at Uncle Zheng's gentle smile in the photo, and I couldn't help but cry.
"Uncle, you have gone peacefully, and I have finally fulfilled my promise to you. Thank you for giving me a home over the years and learning what it means to care for someone. I will always remember everything you taught me. I whispered.
After the funeral, I decided to leave the city for a while. Here, there are memories of being with Uncle Zheng everywhere. I needed a new environment to start the next phase of my life.
After returning to my hometown, I started volunteering at a welfare home. There are many elderly people who have lost their families due to illness, and I do my best to bring them a little warmth and happiness.
One day, one of the elderly people I took care of said to me, "Xiaomei, with you, I feel like I have regained the feeling of home." I have never felt this way since my daughter died. ”
I shook the old man's hand and whispered, "Uncle, I understand this feeling. I will also do my best to make you happy. ”
The days of volunteering were not easy, but I felt fulfilled and warm. I think this is probably what Uncle Zheng wants me to learn.
"Auntie, my name is Li Mei, and I will take care of your daily life in the future. If you have any needs, just let me know. I said to the old lady kindly.
The old lady smiled: "Good boy, I knew that God would send a kind person to take care of me." ”
I began to take care of the old lady's diet and daily life, and chatted and walked with her. Although she was physically weak, she always remained optimistic and grateful.
During a walk, the old lady said, "Meizi, when I meet a good child like you, my old bones are worth it." I believe that God is fair, and you will definitely meet good people. ”
I smiled and nodded, but thought to myself, "The best person I've ever met, and that's you dear old people." ”
Life is like this, after experiencing pain and parting, I have learned to be grateful; Through loneliness and loneliness, I learned to love.
In the process of accompanying others, I also healed my own pain.
I will always pass on this emotion so that more people can feel love and warmth.
The old lady has been in the welfare home for three months. Although her health is deteriorating, her mentality is surprisingly good.
One day, I went to the old lady's room as usual, and found her looking tired and breathing. I had a vague feeling in my heart that the old lady's time might be running out.
"Auntie, can I pour you a glass of water to drink?" I asked softly.
The old lady nodded, and I helped her to sit up, carefully feeding her water. After drinking the water, the old lady looked at me with love in her eyes.
"Xiaomei, thank you for taking care of you these days. I feel like my body is getting worse and I'm afraid time is running out. ”
I couldn't hold back tears rolling in my eyes: "Auntie, what do you say, you will be fine." ”
"Auntie, you must hold on! I will always be with you. "I couldn't stop crying.
After saying this, the old lady closed her eyes and left a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. She passed away peacefully and began another journey.
The old lady's funeral was just as simple and solemn. When parting, I silently made a promise at her grave: "Auntie, I will always remember your advice, live my own value, and warm and care for more people." That's my mission in life. ”
After that, I continued to work in the welfare home. Whenever I see the residents happy because of my company, I think of the old lady's words and feel the strength to move forward.
One day, a new resident came to the welfare home, a middle-aged man in his fifties and sixties. I noticed that he was always sitting silently in the corner, looking lonely.
"Uncle, I'm Meizi, it's nice to meet you. I will take care of your life in the future, and let me know if you need anything. "I took the initiative to greet him.
"Thank you, little girl. Sorry, I'm not in a good mood right now. The middle-aged man forced a smile.
Later, I learned from other residents that my uncle's wife and daughter had died in a car accident and that he was unable to take care of himself on his own, so he came here. I can't help but feel sorry for my uncle.
From that day on, I would talk to my uncle a lot and try to make him laugh as much as possible. My uncle slowly began to open up and would tell me about his previous experiences.
