My name is Wang Lihua and I am a 37-year-old nanny. My life is ordinary and busy, and in order to make ends meet, I work as a caregiver for the elderly and children. I was born into an ordinary family, my parents were ordinary farmers, and I had two younger sisters and a younger brother. Due to the poverty of my family, I learned to be industrious and strong from an early age.
That day, I got a job taking care of an elderly man who needed to take care of a 70-year-old man. I went to the old man's house, and when I saw his thin figure, I couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy in my heart. The old man's name was Liu Zhiqiang, and he was a lonely old man whose children were all working in other places and rarely came home to see him.
The old man and I didn't know each other well at first, but over time we developed a deep bond with each other. I take care of his daily life, cook and do laundry for him, and chat with him. Despite his age, he still maintains an optimistic attitude and is always able to adjust the atmosphere between us with humorous words.
In the evening, I was watching TV with the old man, and he suddenly asked me, "Lihua, do you have any family?"
I nodded, "Yes, I have my parents, two younger sisters, and a younger brother. ”
The old man nodded thoughtfully, but did not speak. There was silence between us.
After a while, the old man spoke again, "Lihua, I appreciate you for taking care of me all the time. I thought I would be lonely for the rest of my life, but with you, I feel that life is full of hope. ”
I looked at the old man with emotion, and my heart was full of gratitude. I knew that the relationship between me and the old man was no longer just a nanny and an employer, we had become each other's family.
The next morning, I was going to make breakfast for the old man, only to find him busy in the kitchen. He smiled and said to me, "Lihua, you have done so much yesterday, let me come today." ”
I looked at the old man with emotion, and my heart was filled with warmth. I made breakfast with him and enjoyed breakfast together, like a harmonious family.
In the days that followed, the relationship between me and the old man became more and more intimate. We take care of each other and keep each other company, just like a real family. I was no longer just a babysitter, but his family, and he became my family.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the old man and I have been living together for a long time. Although there is a big age gap between us, our relationship is so deep. We snuggle up to each other, face life's challenges together, and share the joys of life together.
I know that no matter what happens in the future, I will always be by the old man's side, guarding him and taking care of him forever. Because we are no longer nannies and employers, but real family.
