My name is Wenwen, and to be honest, I've always been quite picky, especially when it comes to finding a babysitter. I've asked for a few before, but it just doesn't feel right, you know, the feeling of not being able to find the right person is really annoying.
However, the nanny introduced to me by the housekeeping company this time really made my eyes shine. Her name is Xiaoling, she is forty-two years old, and she seems to be a very diligent and kind person. I thought to myself, well, maybe I've found the right person this time.
During the three months of the probationary period, she really did her best to take care of my dad. The old man was a little resistant at first, but Xiao Ling just had a way to win his trust slowly. I saw it in my eyes, and my heart was a lot more steady.
Everything was fine, but who knows, a routine physical examination found out that Xiaoling was pregnant. My first reaction at the time was, could this be an attempt to take advantage of me and share our family property? But after thinking about it, Xiaoling's performance in the past few months is not like that kind of person. Gee, that's a real headache for me.
"Wenwen, I really didn't want to take advantage of your family. Xiao Ling's voice trembled a little, and her eyes glistened with tears. She sat on the couch in the living room, her hands nervously wrenched together.
I stood in front of her, mixed feelings. To be honest, I didn't want to get her wrong, but the news was so sudden. I frowned, trying to make my tone sound calmer: "Xiaoling, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this news is too unexpected." Can you tell me who the father of the child is?"
Xiaoling lowered her head and choked up in her voice: "It's a boyfriend from before, we have broken up, but it was too late when I found out that I was pregnant." ”
I sighed, although this news shocked me, but seeing Xiaoling like this, I couldn't bear to blame her anymore. I sat down next to her and whispered, "What are you going to do?"
"I want to give birth to a child. Xiaoling raised her head and looked at me with a determined look in her eyes, "I know it's difficult, but I really can't bear this child." ”
I was silent for a moment, and then said, "Xiaoling, I understand your decision. But you know, this child will cause you a lot of difficulties. ”
"I know. Xiaoling said softly, "But I'm willing to face these difficulties." Wenwen, I really enjoy this job and thank you for giving me this opportunity. I don't want to lose it, I'm going to work harder and not let this kid get in the way of my work. ”
I looked at her, and the doubts in my heart slowly dissipated. I patted the back of her hand, smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaoling." I believe in you, and please trust me, I will do my best to help you. ”
In the following days, Xiaoling still took care of my father with all her heart. Her belly gradually bulged, but her attitude towards work did not change because of it. I looked at her busy figure and my heart was filled with gratitude.
However, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. The news of Xiaoling's pregnancy somehow spread, and the neighbors began to talk about it. I even heard some ugly gossip that Xiaoling wanted to take the opportunity to rely on our family.
These words made me very angry, but Xiaoling remained silent. I know she's proving herself with her actions. Whenever this happens, I will stand by her side and support her steadfastly.
One night, my dad suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. Xiaoling and I rushed to the hospital, and she was busy helping with her big belly. I looked at her with gratitude and respect in my heart. At this moment, I was even more convinced that I was not looking at the wrong person.
That night, the hospital hallway was brightly lit, but it was so quiet that only the ticking of the ECG monitor and my father's heavy breathing could be heard. Xiao Ling sat on the bench, her hands stroking her bulging abdomen, her face full of worry. I suddenly felt a little guilty that she shouldn't have to bear this.
Just then, the door to the operating room opened, and the doctor walked out. I hurried up to meet him and asked eagerly, "Doctor, how is my dad?"
The doctor took off his mask and looked at me with exhaustion in his tone: "The operation was successful, but the old man's condition is still not optimistic, and further observation is needed next." ”
I breathed a sigh of relief and turned my head to look at Xiaoling, her eyes flashed with tears, but she bit her lip and didn't cry. I walked up to her and gently held her hand: "Thank you, Xiaoling. If it weren't for you tonight, I would have collapsed. ”
She shook her head and barely squeezed out a smile: "Wenwen, don't talk about this, the old man is so good to me, I should do these things." ”
Just then, there was a sudden commotion at the other end of the hallway. I looked up and saw a middle-aged man walking towards us menacingly. I recognized it as Xiaoling's ex-boyfriend, the father of the child in her womb.
He walked up to Xiao Ling with an angry face: "Why are you still here? What about the child in your belly? Do you want him to be born without a father?"
Xiaoling stood up and looked at him coldly: "I will raise this child by myself." When you abandoned our mother and son, why didn't you expect it to be today?"
The man was choked for a moment, but he was still tough: "I don't care, anyway, you can't have this child." You come with me, and we'll go and kill him. ”
As he spoke, he was about to step forward and pull Xiaoling. I stepped forward and stood in front of Xiaoling: "What are you doing? This is a hospital, not a place for you to go wild." ”
The man's eyes widened and he looked at me, "Who are you, and why do you care about us?"
I sneered: "I am Xiaoling's friend and her employer. Let me tell you, Xiaoling is now my family, and you don't want to hurt her and her children. ”
The man was overwhelmed by my momentum, he glared at me, turned and left in a huff. I looked at his back and felt a pang of joy in my heart. Turning her head to look at Xiao Ling, her eyes flashed with gratitude.
I patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm here." ”
At that moment, the emotional bond between us became stronger. I know that no matter how many difficulties and challenges lie ahead, we will face them hand in hand, because we are already a family. And that night also made me even more convinced of this.
After the twists and turns of that night, the relationship between Xiaoling and me became closer. A few days later, my dad was discharged from the hospital and returned home. Xiaoling is still taking care of him carefully, and at the same time, she is also preparing for the arrival of a new life.
One day, I looked at her busy back and couldn't help asking, "Xiaoling, are you tired?"
She looked back and smiled, "Tired is tired, but I think it's worth it." Wenwen, thank you for your continued support and help. ”
I walked over and hugged her gently: "Don't say that, we are all family. ”
Soon after, Xiaoling's child was born, a lovely boy. My dad hugged the little one and smiled from ear to ear. I watched this scene with gratitude and happiness in my heart. This is life, although it is full of challenges, but with love, you can overcome everything.
