Xia Han documentary prose
【Xia Han】Houde Author: Han Junfang
Writing table guilt,
Hide the kowtow between the lines.
With a large number of minds and inclusiveness,
Virtue carries a thousand years of blessings.
Do things to see the character, and be a person to see the pattern. A person with good character and a big pattern will have great achievements, and on the contrary, no matter how much money he has, the good fortune will not be great. It can be described as a virtuous load, and the match of virtue and wealth.
One thing that really made me feel the difference between people.
In the past ten years, in order to live, but also to make the children more fulfilling in terms of material and spiritual, from starting part-time housekeeping, to later working full-time, I have tried a variety of different industries such as nurses, nannies, cooks, and childcare.
After working hard for a few years, I longed to find a job in taking care of my children - after the child went to kindergarten during the day, I could do housework, I could take the child to play after school, and I didn't have to take the child to sleep at night. In order to get such an ideal list, I stared at the recruitment information of several agents every day, but unfortunately this industry is a two-way choice, either my age is too old or the employer's family is unlikely, so I have not been able to do so.
On April 26, 2022, I saw that Gold Medal Housekeeping had a recruitment information and the position I longed for was tailor-made, so I hurriedly contacted the intermediary teacher, but it turned out to be a step late, and someone tried the job...... I told my teacher in regret that I would definitely inform me if there was hope.
I thought it was impossible, on the 28th, the teacher suddenly called me to go to the interview, it was raining lightly, I carried a travel bag, came out in a hurry, and did not take an umbrella, poured two cars to the gold medal housekeeping company on Qingnian Street, met the intermediary Mr. Wu, and signed the contract. It may be because high-end families are more picky, on the other hand, it is also out of concern, Mr. Wu repeatedly told me to pay attention to details!
In this way, I got the contact information of Bao's mother, who was doing massage for the children in Changbai, and asked me to take a taxi to find them there, and she reported the fare. I said, no, I'll take the car and let you get some money. In fact, others don't know, if it weren't for the special circumstances, I would be reluctant to take a taxi and spend money in vain.
Shenyang's public transportation is so easy that I can't make my employer wait, especially when we meet for the first time, which is what I've always done.
Twenty minutes later, I came to the outside of the Changbai Mu Little Elephant Pediatric Massage Museum, and after phone calling, a mother and son walked out. Bao Ma is a beautiful young woman in her thirties, the baby has big eyes and long eyelashes, and good facial features.
After a brief introduction, she took me to the car, and learned through chatting that we were still half fellow countrymen, and we had a good impression of each other, and it was clear from the baby's performance that he also liked me as a new aunt.
After chatting for a few words, Bao Ma gave an evaluation: You are different from others.
I smiled, what could be different.
"It's just different," Bao Ma insisted.
I still don't know what she meant by the difference.
Once inside, the host let me have a meal with them. The dishes and chopsticks are all the same, and the fruit is fresh and plentiful. My bedroom was in a separate room upstairs, the pillows and mattress were imported latex, and the host treated me completely like a family treatist.
My job is to prepare the diet, then send the baby to the kindergarten, and clean up when I come back. Originally, the house was relatively clean, and the owner would ask a professional cleaner to clean it every once in a while, so it was easier to clean up.
After lunch, I can lie down for an hour or two, there is almost no major event in the afternoon, and I am always not Xi to take a lunch break when I come, and every time at this time, my mother will urge me to go to rest quickly, for fear that I will be tired. We got along happily day by day, and a few months passed in a blink of an eye, during which I felt the warmth of home and the love of my family.
A major accident once again raised my understanding of the couple. This winter, the epidemic continues, the child cough at home for more than half a month, this Monday, after the mother sent the child to the kindergarten, I thought that this time I have to clean up all corners, the child is at home, are mainly with the baby, health is just a simple cleanup.
I cleaned the room in an orderly manner, and when I squatted down to wipe the dust behind the vertical air conditioner and was about to stand up, the corner of my clothes hung on the corner of the square table with elephant ornaments, and the table did not swing much, but the jade elephant weighing more than ten pounds fell down, and the jade petals on the elephant's body were shattered and torn apart.
I was dumbfounded, folded my hands and prayed, but everything was irreparable. I took a photo with my mobile phone in a panic and sent it to my mother, telling her that I was in a big accident, and the mother on the other end of the phone told me not to be afraid, it's okay, she will be back soon!
This jade elephant ornament I can see a layman is worth a lot, the jade elephant body jade is round, the petals are exquisitely clear, the elephant carries two baby elephants, the carving is lifelike, the texture of the coconut leaves is realistic, and the waves are smart and vibrant...... But such a beautiful thing was destroyed in my hands, and I panicked so much that I didn't know where it went......
When Bao Ma came back and saw that the damage to the jade elephant was much more serious than she thought, she just told me about the origin of the elephant and tried to glue the fragments of loose jade by herself. I transferred all of my savings to her, the only way I could think of to atone for my sins, so that she could see if she could fix it, or buy the same one. I know that this amount of money is insignificant to the Jade Elephant itself.
I can imagine that she also had a hard time describing the accident to her father. But she retreated in seconds, saying, one is impossible to have the same paragraph, and the other one, I didn't mean to, let me take any money. This jade elephant was selected by the couple in Dalian in 2006, and a piece of high-quality raw jade was selected, and then craftsmen were invited to make it. She told me quietly that when the jade elephant was brought back and went upstairs, Bao Dad didn't dare to let her hug it, for fear that there would be a slight mistake......
Bao Ma asked me to put away all the bits and pieces first, and repeatedly reassured me that I was fine, and it was not intentional, and if it was broken, it would be broken. She was so calm and didn't complain at all, and I felt even more guilty. At this time, if she yelled at me or accepted the transfer, I might feel better, but instead of blaming me, she comforted me in turn, which made me even more uneasy and self-reproachful......
Bao Dad came back early after receiving a call from Bao Mom, and when he came back, we went out to play with the child, and I can guess how he felt when he saw the broken elephant. But when we came back from outside, his demeanor was also unexpectedly calm, and he greeted me naturally, talked to the child gently, and talked and laughed with his mother in a funny way.
I didn't dare to lift my head or look at them. I didn't explain anything to Daddy, and I didn't know what to say. Maybe it's because Daddy is back, or maybe it's ...... The baby didn't go upstairs to play, and after washing, everyone rested earlier than usual this night......
The next morning, I woke up early and made breakfast as usual, and my heart was tormented. Bao Dad came over, still as kind as ever, comforted me and said: Sister, don't get angry, it's broken, you don't have to take it to heart, don't you hear, sister.
I lowered my head and smiled bitterly...... I made such a big mistake, how can you still be so good to me, isn't this a real example of virtue and virtue, how many people in today's society can do it. I don't know what other words to use to describe the character of the couple...... I was moved to tears, and tears fell down my cheeks.
Details determine success or failure, and character determines life. I finally understood a question that I have been curious about for a long time, why they have someone to help them in trouble, someone to help them in difficulties, they are prosperous, their wealth is prosperous, the love of husband and wife flies together, and the blessings are shared!
