My name is Li Fang and I am 70 years old this year. Over the years, I have lived alone, and my children are working in other places, so I have no time to take care of me. It's been more than 10 years since my wife passed away and now lives on a little pension. The days are very lonely day by day.
I live in an old neighborhood in the city, the house is not big, but it is also convenient to live in. In the past, when I was still in good health, I could do housework and buy daily necessities by myself. But over the years, my legs and feet have not been very neat, and cooking, sweeping, and washing clothes have become a burden. I didn't want to trouble my children, so I found a cleaning aunt to help me clean up every week. But I still feel that there is a lack of care in my life.
Later, I saw that I saw the service "hire a babysitter" on TV, and I had this idea. I can spend a little pension and hire a babysitter to help me with my daily life so that I don't feel so lonely. As soon as the idea came to me, I couldn't wait to implement it.
So I put an advertisement in the newspaper for a babysitter job and left my phone number. A few days later, someone called to apply. After a brief conversation with a few applicants, I decided to hire a man named Wang Qiang as a nanny. Wang Qiang looks to be in his forties, with a strong body and a kind speech, which I think is a good fit for him. So we agreed that the monthly salary was 11,000 yuan.
I was very happy to hear what he said. Finally, I have someone to accompany me and take care of me, and I will never be lonely again.
Wang Qiang began to help me with household chores. Every morning he came to my house, made me breakfast, and then swept the floor, mopped the floor, did the laundry, bought groceries, and nothing I had to worry about.
What I am most happy about is that I have Wang Qiang to talk to me. I'll tell him about my experiences when I was younger
I told him about my experiences when I was younger, and about my wife and me. Wang Qiang always greeted me with a smile, listened to me patiently, and would say some witty things to make me laugh from time to time.
One day, we were having breakfast and chatting. Wang Qiang said: "Aunt Li, you must have been very beautiful when you were young, and there must have been many suitors." ”
I smiled and said, "It's okay, I was white and pretty at that time." But I have a high vision, and I like a talented man like your master. ”
"Haha, I knew that Aunt Li, your vision was not ordinary. But if my master had met you back then, he would have fallen in love with you. "Wang Qiang was joking with me.
"Alright, okay, don't slap my ass. Eat your breakfast!" I smiled and gave him a blank look.
After breakfast, Wang Qiang began to do housework. He first made my bed clean, then wiped down the furniture, and finally mopped the floor. After doing this, he said to me, "Aunt Li, I'm going to buy vegetables and make lunch, you have a good rest at home, call me if you have something." ”
Wang Qiang responded with a smile and went out to buy vegetables.
These days, I see that he is serious and responsible in his work, and his service attitude is also very good, so I can rest assured that I will leave all the family affairs to him to take care of. At night, before going to bed, if I have a cough or uncomfortable legs and feet, he will massage me carefully, and really treat me as his old mother.
I thought to myself, it is really my blessing to meet such a good nanny as Wang Qiang. Now my life is very nourishing, and I am no longer lonely.
In this way, under the care of Wang Qiang, I spent a happy and comfortable time. Until one day, I suddenly felt very unwell and dizzy. Wang Qiang saw that my condition was not right, and quickly sent me to the hospital.
The doctor said that I had acute gastritis and needed to be hospitalized. I immediately became nervous, what should I do with the cost of hospitalization? I don't have a lot of pension to cope with such high medical bills.
Seeing that I was so anxious, Wang Qiang hurriedly comforted me and said, "Aunt Li, don't worry, I'm here." You don't have to worry about medical expenses, I'll find a way to solve it. You can concentrate on your treatment and recover as soon as possible. ”
When I heard him say this, I felt a little relieved, but I couldn't help but ask, "How are you going to solve the medical expenses?"
Wang Qiang smiled and said, "I have some savings, so I'll help you pay it first." After you recover from your illness and are discharged from the hospital, you can pay me back slowly. ”
"How can this work?" I said anxiously, "This fee is also a burden for you, and I can't let you bear such financial pressure for me." ”
Wang Qiang hurriedly said, "Aunt Li, you are my benefactor. You gave me this job and treated me like family. It's a trivial matter, so don't shirk it, just let me share it for you. ”
Seeing him insist like this, I can't refuse again. With him, I was admitted to the hospital for a week of treatment.
During the few days in the hospital, Wang Qiang came to see me every day and brought some fruits and clothes. He was very attentive to my diet and would buy me foods that were easy to digest. I lay on the hospital bed every day, watching him busy before and after, and my heart was full of gratitude to him.
Finally, under Wang Qiang's careful care, my condition improved, and the results of the examination showed that the acute gastritis had been controlled. The doctor said I was ready to be discharged.
On the day I was discharged from the hospital, Wang Qiang came to the hospital happily and came early in the morning to pack my things and prepare to take me home. When he pushed me into the taxi, I happily said to him: "Wang Qiang, thank you so much for taking care of me these days, I am so grateful to you!"
Wang Qiang smiled and said, "Aunt Li, we are like a family. This is what I should do. I am also very happy that you recovered and were discharged from the hospital. ”
I nodded, thinking that when my body fully recovered, I must thank Wang Qiang.
After I was discharged from the hospital, I gradually recovered my health under the care of Wang Qiang.
One day, Wang Qiang suddenly said to me mysteriously: "Aunt Li, I have good news for you!"
I asked curiously, "What's the good news?"
Wang Qiang said: "The house I rented was about to be demolished, and I happened to find a new home, which is very close to here." When the time comes, I can take care of you every day, and I don't have to worry about the long road anymore!"
I was glad to hear it: "That's great news! With you coming over to take care of me every day, I don't have to worry about anything." ”
Wang Qiang nodded and said, "That's what I mean." Aunt Li, your body has not fully recovered, I thought, why don't you take you to my new home to live together, so that I can take care of you every day, what do you think?"
Wang Qiang hurriedly said, "Aunt Li, just think about it." I have a nice environment there and it's quiet. When the time comes, I will accompany you every day, and you don't have to worry about anything. I will do to you like my own son. ”
I nodded and said, "Okay, I'll think about it again." Don't worry, let's take our time. ”
Since then, I have been thinking about Wang Qiang's proposal. I'm actually a little reluctant to leave here, after all, I've lived there for decades. But what Wang Qiang said is also reasonable, my body is still recovering, and I need to be taken care of more attentively.
Just when I was hesitating, one day Wang Qiang suddenly said something amazing: "Aunt Li, I see that your house is worth a lot of money, if you sell it, it will be enough for you to support your old age for a long time." When you come to live with me, you don't have to pay me any more wages, and I take care of you for free, what do you think?"
When I heard this, I felt a pang in my heart, and immediately became alert: "Wang Qiang, I remember that I didn't say that I was going to sell the house, right?
Wang Qiang seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and a trace of panic flashed on his face, but he soon smiled and said, "Aunt Li, I just said it casually, don't take it to heart." I mean, I'm going to take care of you with all my heart, and you don't need to pay me anymore, just do me a favor. ”
I stared into his eyes
I stared into his eyes and said in a serious tone, "Wang Qiang, I think you seem to have a misunderstanding. I have no intention of selling this house, and I will not stop paying your salary. I hope you can continue to concentrate on your work and take good care of me, and our relationship is like it was in the beginning, you understand?"
A hint of displeasure flashed on Wang Qiang's face, but he still squeezed out a smile and said, "Aunt Li, you are joking, how can I mean that." I just care too much about you and want you to get the best care possible. But since you say so, I'll just go on with my job and take good care of you. ”
I nodded, but I had a vague feeling that something wasn't right. Observing Wang Qiang during this time, I found that he has been asking me a lot about my finances and the value of the house recently, which makes me a little worried.
So one day, I asked him directly: "Wang Qiang, I found that you have often asked me about my finances and the value of the house recently, what do you mean?"
When Wang Qiang heard this, his face changed significantly, but he still pretended to be innocent and said, "Aunt Li, I just asked casually, don't be careful." I think that if you can tell me this, it means that we trust like family. ”
I frowned and said, "You have to be honest with each other to trust." Let me ask you again, are you planning something, or are you not an honest person at all?"
A trace of panic flashed on Wang Qiang's face, but he quickly squeezed out a smile again, and said in a soft tone: "Aunt Li, you are too wrong about me. I treat you like a relative, how could I want to take advantage of you? Don't be suspicious, let's get along as we used to. ”
I was silent for a while, but nodded and said, "That's fine, but I hope you don't ask me these questions again in the future and just concentrate on your work." ”
After that, I began to pay close attention to Wang Qiang's every move, and noticed that he sometimes looked through my drawers when I was not looking, and my real estate certificate and bank passbook were all turned over.
One day, I pretended to go grocery shopping, but secretly came back to observe. I saw Wang Qiang taking advantage of my absence, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find my real estate certificate and
Bank passbook. When I saw this scene, my heart was like a knife.
I pushed the door in, and Wang Qiang was startled by my sudden appearance, and his face was full of panic.
I said with a calm face, "Wang Qiang, what are you doing?" I have seen it all, do you still want to continue pretending?"
Wang Qiang's face was pale, and he was speechless.
I sighed and said disappointedly: "Wang Qiang, I thought you were a kind and filial person, but now it seems that you are simply here for my money." I'm sad that you did this, but I won't retaliate against you, I just hope that you can correct it in the future and stop hurting other old people. ”
Wang Qiang's face was full of shame, and he whispered: "Aunt Li, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't be greedy for your money, I'm too selfish." I appreciate that you are a large number of people who do not care about my fault. ”
I nodded and said, "If you are not a sage, who can do nothing?" I have also experienced your age, impulsive, greedy. So I can forgive you. But I hope this incident will wake you up and be an honest and kind person in the future, and be content and happy. ”
Wang Qiang said excitedly: "Aunt Li, I will definitely remember your teachings today and be a new person." I will never go astray again. You have changed me, and I should thank you!"
I smiled and said, "Young people always make mistakes, and the important thing is to correct them in time." You still have a great future, go and live the life you want. ”
Wang Qiang nodded repeatedly, apologized to me, packed up his things and left.
I watched him leave, and a hint of relief rose in my heart. Maybe this is life, not satisfactory, but in the end, the water will come out, and the clouds will see the day.
After this incident, I continued my retirement. Occasionally, I think of Wang Qiang and hope that he is doing well and not repeating the mistakes of the past.
In life, to be able to forgive others is to forgive oneself. I have learned to be grateful, to be tolerant. Even if some people disappoint me, I will not lose my trust and expectation in the world.
Because I know that behind every Wang Qiang, there will be more kind people. Human nature is inherently good, that's what I believe.
