"Hello, old man, I am Xiao Li, the new nanny today. "I plucked up the courage to say hello.
The old man looked at me with wistful eyes, and after a while he said, "Ah, it's the new nanny." "
"Yes, I will do my best to take good care of you. I said sincerely.
"That's great, I've been losing things lately, I hope you can take care of it for me. The old man smiled weakly.
I nodded, and began to look around the old room. There was a pile of debris everywhere, and there was debris and dirt scattered on the ground. It seems that there are quite a few places to be cleaned.
"Old man, sit down for a while, and I'll clean up the room. As I spoke, I got up and started my work.
The old man was obviously in a bit of a quandary, and he twisted his body to stand up, but it was very difficult. I quickly grabbed his thin arm and felt the dryness and looseness of his skin. His hands were wrinkled, like the trunk of an ancient tree. I carefully helped him to the chair and sat down, picking up the miscellaneous items and tidying them up one by one.
The old man's gaze followed my movements closely, and seemed to have some trust in me. I continued to clean with my hands and feet, tidying up the scattered things. Soon, the room was completely renewed.
Although the appearance of the old man made me feel a little frightened, it was more of pity. From the look in his eyes, I saw helplessness and loneliness. As a young man, I can hardly imagine how sad it would be to be alone in the future. Looking at the old man in front of me, who was once in his prime and is now alone, I felt a desire to protect myself. I made up my mind that I must do my best to take good care of this poor old man.
I looked at the old man's face, and the deep wrinkles were like the marks left by the wind and rain, recording the ups and downs he had experienced. His eyes have become distracted by age, but if you look carefully, you can still see a little bit of the youthful look. His body was slumped, like an old man who was concentrating on something to await. There was a feeling of pity in my heart.
"My name is Wang Defu, you can just call me Uncle Wang. The old man answered my question with a smile.
"Uncle Wang, let's get along. If you need anything, just tell me. I say sincerely.
Uncle Wang smiled, revealing a mouthful of teeth that were not straight: "You are so patient at such a young age, I admire you." "
"Wherever you are, you will treat me as your relative. I hurriedly said humbly.
I didn't bother him and waited quietly. After a long while, he continued: "I'm glad you can accompany me. "
"I'll always be by your side, Uncle Wang. I nodded vigorously.
From that day on, I was almost inseparable from Uncle Wang's side. Groom him early every morning and make a nutritious breakfast. During the day, he walked the park with him and chatted. At night, before he went to bed, he would beat his back and rub his legs. It's like you're serving the old man in your family.
Once, Uncle Wang accidentally slipped and fell to the ground, and I hurriedly helped him up to check whether he was injured. Seeing a new wound on his old skin almost brought tears to my eyes. I vowed at the time that I would never let this happen again.
At first, I was a little uncomfortable. But gradually, I found myself fully integrated into the job. Uncle Wang's amiable and respectable appearance made me feel very cordial. Sometimes, I even love him like a father in my heart.
Because of this, the way the two of us get along with each other has also changed. Unconsciously, we are more like a son and a father than just an employer and an employee. Uncle Wang would share his past experiences with me, and I would tell him about my troubles. And just like that, an unprecedented sense of intimacy was built between us.
Sometimes I wonder if my father would have been as close to me as Uncle Wang had been, and I began to be sincerely grateful for this job, which allowed me to find a sense of home.
One day, when I was rubbing Uncle Wang's legs, he suddenly grabbed my hand tightly and looked at me with those wet eyes. I was taken aback by his action, but I didn't pull my hand back. I saw two lines of tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, hot liquid dripping on the back of my hand. What made this once prosperous old man so sad? I felt a pang of pain in my heart, and I seemed to feel his despair at the moment.
My eyes moistened, but I was moved by this simple sentence. I nodded vigorously, grabbed his dry palm, and solemnly promised: "Okay, I will be filial to you and treat you as my own father." "
Late that night, I was awakened by Uncle Wang's crying. I hurried to his room and found him curled up on the bed, convulsing in pain.
"Uncle Wang, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" I asked anxiously.
"What are you talking about? It's okay, it's all over. I hurriedly comforted him.
I was stunned by his words and was at a loss for what to do. Uncle Wang's eyes were gloomy, and he seemed to be caught in endless self-blame and pain.
I could only go up and hug his thin body, trying to comfort him with my own strength.
As he spoke, Uncle Wang fell into a painful whimper again. I was at a loss for what to do, so I could only gently hug his thin body, trying to soothe his wounded heart with my warmth. Uncle Wang's body trembled incessantly in my arms, like a child after being frightened. I patted him on the back and hummed a lullaby in my mouth, hoping to calm him down.
After a long while, Uncle Wang's crying finally stopped. He leaned limply into my arms, panting for air. I brought him a glass of warm water and fed him slowly. I was relieved to see him gradually regain some of his spirits.
"Uncle Wang, what the hell is going on? You scared me. I asked with concern.
At that moment, my heart was extremely entangled. On the one hand, I was deeply affected by Uncle Wang's pain and just wanted to comfort and comfort him; On the other hand, I was also thinking about what had happened to make this amiable and respectable old man so heartbroken.
Perhaps, this is the life of the old age. When looking back on the past, all the gains and losses and pains of the past will be condensed into eternal scars, which will pierce people's hearts all the time. I began to sincerely admire Uncle Wang, even after all the hardships, he was still able to maintain a kind heart.
I quietly watched Uncle Wang's face, his wrinkles deepened in the dim light. His eyes were closed, as if to suppress some unspeakable pain. I've never seen him look so fragile and helpless, and even breathing has become extremely difficult.
I made up my mind that I would give Uncle Wang the utmost care and support no matter what, just as he had done to me. I took his hand and used my body heat to warm his cold fingertips.
"Uncle Wang, no matter what happens, you have me. I said sincerely, "Just as I am your son, you can say anything to me." "
Uncle Wang slowly opened his eyes, his eyes overflowing with tears. With all his might, he nodded slightly. I knew it was time for him to take the burden off his shoulder.
I helped Uncle Wang back to the bed and covered him with the quilt. Then I sat on the edge of his bed and waited quietly.
"Xiao Li, would you like to listen to me tell a story?" After a long time, Uncle Wang spoke, his voice weak but firm.
"Of course, I'm listening. I nodded.
His voice began to choke, as if crushed by the memory. I hurriedly shook his hand and gave strength.
Speaking of which, Uncle Wang could no longer continue. He curled up and sobbed in pain. I looked at the once beautiful person in front of me, but now he cried so sadly like a child, and his heart was shrouded in infinite sadness.
I subconsciously hugged him into my arms, wanting to use my warmth to soothe his wounded heart. Uncle Wang's body trembled gently in my arms, and every whimper was like a sharp dagger piercing my heart. I patted him on the back to calm him down.
After a long while, Uncle Wang's crying gradually stopped. He leaned limply into my arms, his eyes red and swollen, and his expression dazed. I brought a towel to wipe the tears from his face, and I was very careful in my movements, for fear of hurting him again.
At this moment, my heart is full of mixed feelings. On the one hand, I was deeply touched by what happened to Uncle Wang, and the pain he experienced was far beyond my imagination. On the other hand, I was disappointed and angry at what he had done back then. Cheating is simply the biggest blasphemy and betrayal of love.
But soon, I was relieved. After all, no one is perfect, and everyone will make mistakes at some point in their lives. The important thing is that Uncle Wang still feels guilty and remorseful after so many years, which shows that the kindness in his heart is eternal.
I made up my mind that I would comfort and forgive him no matter what. Just as this is a chance for God to give me a new life, I must cherish the people in front of me.
At this time, Uncle Wang seemed to be extremely tired, and he leaned weakly into my arms, and his breathing gradually became steady. I slowly laid him down on the bed and covered him with the quilt. Before leaving, I looked at his old face with mixed feelings.
At this time, Uncle Wang turned his head and met my gaze. I saw in his eyes the exhaustion and sadness that I had never seen before, like a poor man crushed by life. There were still undried tears in his eyes, and the whole person looked extremely haggard.
"Uncle Wang, you look tired, do you want to rest for a while?" I said mildly.
Uncle Wang shook his head slowly, although his voice was hoarse, it was firm and powerful: "Xiao Li, I'm already running away, it's time to untie the knot." "
I nodded knowingly and sat down in the chair next to him, waiting for him to continue telling the story on his mind.
At this time, Uncle Wang was like a person who had re-unloaded all his burdens, his eyes were open and clean, and his heart seemed to have gained some kind of relief. I secretly prayed that this outpouring would truly allow him to let go of the burden in his heart and regain the hope and meaning of life.
