Li Li, a 45-year-old home-based nanny, was taken care of by retired professor Professor Zhang. She was both excited and looking forward to it.
"Hello, Professor Zhang. I'm your new babysitter, Li Li. Li Li smiled and said hello.
"Oh, it's you. Please come in, please come in. Professor Zhang greeted her warmly, with a kind smile on his face.
"I will do my best to take care of your daily life. If you need anything, feel free to let me know. Li Li put down her bag and said respectfully.
"Well, okay. I have already checked with the agency before you came. I'm sure you'll be up to the job. Professor Zhang nodded and motioned for Li Li to sit down.
Soon, Li Li began to take care of her every day. In the morning, she prepares Professor Zhang's favorite breakfast and then helps him freshen up and change clothes. At noon, she cooks a nutritious lunch and accompanies Professor Zhang to dine with her. In the afternoons, she would accompany Professor Zhang for a walk or chat, and occasionally read a book together.
"Li Li, the dishes you cooked today are really delicious. Professor Zhang tasted his lunch with satisfaction and praised.
"That's a great pleasure to hear you say that. I'll keep trying. Li Li replied happily.
Gradually, a deep trust and dependence was established between Li Li and Professor Zhang. Li Li found that Professor Zhang had a withdrawn personality and rarely communicated with others. So she took the initiative to chat with him, trying to close the distance between the two.
"Professor Zhang, you don't seem to be in a good mood today, has something happened?" Li Li asked with concern.
"Nothing, just remembering some of the past. Professor Zhang sighed, "When I was young, I also experienced a lot of ups and downs. "
Li Li listened patiently to Professor Zhang's story, full of sympathy and understanding. She found that the professor, who seemed to be on the high, had actually experienced many frustrations and pains in his heart.
In this way, the relationship between Li Li and Professor Zhang became closer and closer. They trust each other and rely on each other. Li Li also gradually learns some secrets of Professor Zhang's life, which makes her both shocked and sad.
"Professor Zhang, I'm sorry, I didn't know you had ever experienced this. Li Li whispered, a look of sympathy in her eyes.
"It's okay, it's all in the past. Professor Zhang patted Li Li's hand comfortingly, "I'm very fortunate to have met someone as kind and reliable as you to take care of me." "
Li Li was conflicted and wondered whether she should continue to serve Professor Zhang. But in the end, she chose to stay with Professor Zhang until his death.
After weighing many pros and cons, Li Li finally decided to continue to take care of Professor Zhang. She understands that even though Professor Zhang's past experience is shocking, what he needs now is someone who can give him love and understanding.
Therefore, Li Li continued to prepare Professor Zhang's meals as usual every day, and accompanied him for walks and chats. Only this time, her heart was filled with sympathy and understanding for Professor Zhang.
"Professor Zhang, where would you like to go for a walk today?" Li Li asked gently.
"Well, let's go to the park. I like it the most. Professor Zhang said with a smile.
The two walked side by side on the park's paths, admiring the greenery and flowers around them. Li Li noticed that Professor Zhang's face showed a rare relaxed expression.
"You seem to be in a good mood. Li Li took the initiative to talk.
"Yes, I do feel relieved to have someone like you with me. "You know, I haven't relaxed myself like this for many years. "
"That's great. Li Li smiled with relief, "I will always be by your side and accompany you through this time." "
"Thank you, Li Li. You are like a loved one to me. Professor Zhang stopped, looked at Li Li seriously, and said.
Li Li felt a warmth in her heart, she held Professor Zhang's hand and said solemnly, "I also regard you as family. I will be there for you until you die. "
Since then, Li Li's relationship with Professor Zhang has become even closer. The two would talk late every day and share stories of each other's lives. Li Li discovered that Professor Zhang was actually a sensitive and compassionate person. Although he is cold on the surface, he hides a lot of softness inside.
"Professor Zhang, why don't you contact your family?" One day, Li Li couldn't help but ask.
Professor Zhang was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "My relationship with my family is not very good. When I was younger, I made some wrong choices that caused a lot of harm to my family. Later, I chose to stay away from them and live alone. "
"I see. Li Li nodded, "But you are not alone now, because I am by your side." "
"yes, it's nice to have you. Professor Zhang said gratefully, "You have made me feel at home again." "
Time flies, and getting along day after day makes the friendship between Li Li and Professor Zhang deeper and deeper. Li Li found that she had an indescribable sense of intimacy with this once strange old man. She is not only taking care of his life, but also warming his lonely heart in her own way.
One day, when Li Li went to Professor Zhang's house as usual, she found him sitting on the sofa in a daze.
"Professor Zhang, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Li Li asked with concern.
"It's okay, I'm just thinking about something. Professor Zhang sighed, "Li Li, I want to tell you something. "
"What's the matter?" Li Li asked worriedly.
"I know my past has shocked you a lot. However, I want you to know that I have been repenting in the hope of atonement. Professor Zhang said sincerely, "Although I am old, I still hope to regain the forgiveness and love of my family." "
After Li Li heard this, she felt that her heart was full of respect and understanding. She held Professor Zhang's hand and said seriously, "Professor Zhang, you have received my forgiveness and love. I will be there for you until you are able to receive forgiveness from your family. "
Professor Zhang was moved to tears, he gently hugged Li Li, and murmured, "Thank you, Li Li." I feel blessed to have you by my side. "
Since that day, Li Li has cherished every moment with Professor Zhang even more. She found herself with a new appreciation and understanding of what it means to care for others. Taking care of others is not only a job, but also a kind of respect and love for life.
As time passed, Professor Zhang's body gradually weakened. However, even in the final days, he remained positive and optimistic.
"Li Li, I really appreciate your care over the years. Professor Zhang said weakly, "You are like a relative, which makes me feel the warmth of home again." "
"Professor Zhang, you have also taught me more over the years. Li Li held his hand, her eyes moist, "I will always remember you, your influence on me." "
One day, Professor Zhang passed away peacefully. Li Li received all the wages he had left behind, feeling both surprised and puzzled. She thought she was just doing her part to help someone in need. But now, she understands that Professor Zhang is much more than just an employer for her.
Li Li decided to quit her job and leave Professor Zhang's home. She wants to start a new journey in life, to find the true value and direction of her heart.
After leaving Professor Zhang's home, Li Li sat alone on a park bench and immersed herself in memories for a long time. She couldn't help but think of the bits and pieces she had spent with Professor Zhang in the past three years.
The retired professor who was high up in the sky had also experienced many ups and downs. His heart is so sensitive, but he chooses to be alone. It wasn't until he met Li Li that he regained the warmth of home.
Li Li recalls the excitement and anticipation when she first took over the job, and now it has turned into a deep love and attachment to this old man. She sincerely accompanied Professor Zhang, not only taking care of his daily life, but also warming his lonely heart in her own way.
"Professor Zhang, you must have seen the kindness and sincerity in my heart. That's why they left me all my salary. Li Li muttered to herself, her eyes moistening again.
She understands that Professor Zhang's move is undoubtedly an affirmation and gratitude to her. This is not only a monetary reward, but also a spiritual appreciation. In his own way, Professor Zhang conveyed a simple but profound message to Li Li: You deserve to be treated well.
Li Li sat quietly on the bench, looking at the sky. She suddenly realized that in the past three years, she was not only taking care of an old man, but also looking for her inner value and direction.
"It turns out that what I have been looking for is this kind of love and dedication to others. Li Li muttered to herself, "I want to use my own way to help more people in need." "
Thinking of this, Li Li's heart swelled with unprecedented strength and courage. She stood up and strode forward, with a clear goal.
"Hello, my name is Li Li and I want to be a volunteer here. Li Li said sincerely to the dean.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Li Li. We do need more warm-hearted people like you here. The dean responded enthusiastically, "I am sure you will bring a lot of warmth to our old people." "
Since then, Li Li has come to the nursing home every day to accompany the elderly who live alone. She patiently listened to their stories and took care of their daily lives.
"Thank you, Li Li. We feel at ease to have you here. An old man said gratefully.
"That's what I'm supposed to do, and I'm glad I can help you. Li Li replied with a smile.
Day after day, Li Li gives her love and care in the nursing home. She found that this not only warmed the elderly, but also made her own heart more fulfilling and happy.
"It turns out that taking care of others is the meaning of my life. Li Li sighed, "This job has allowed me to find my own direction." "
At this moment, Li Li suddenly received a phone call.
"Hey, hello. I am Professor Zhang's lawyer, and I'm sorry to bother you. I want to tell you something. A male voice came from the other end of the line.
"What's the matter?" Li Li asked suspiciously.
"Before he died, Professor Zhang left all his property to you. "This is his last wish." "
Li Li's eyes widened in surprise, she couldn't believe her ears. Professor Zhang actually left all his possessions to her, which was simply impossible for her.
"How is that possible? I'm just doing my part to take care of him. Li Li muttered to herself.
This is Professor Zhang's last wish. "He wants you to use the money to help more people in need." "
Li Li was silent for a long time, and tears flowed involuntarily. She understands that Professor Zhang's move is not only a reward for her, but also a recognition and encouragement of her kindness.
Since then, Li Li has used the property left by Professor Zhang to establish a fund in a nursing home dedicated to taking care of the elderly living alone. She hopes that through her own efforts, more lonely elderly people can feel the warmth of home.
Li Li's life has changed dramatically because of her encounter with Professor Zhang. She went from being an ordinary nanny to being a caring and responsible person. She uses her own way to help those in need, and interprets the value of life with her own actions.
After Professor Zhang's death, Li Li set out to fulfill his last wish. She decided to use all the property left by Professor Zhang to set up a fund in a nursing home dedicated to caring for elderly people living alone.
"We will provide all-round care and assistance to those who live alone. Li Li solemnly promised to the dean, "not only in life care, but also in spiritual comfort." "
After hearing this, the dean nodded in agreement: "This is indeed a good plan. I believe that with this fund, we will be able to make more elderly people feel the warmth of home. "
Under Li Li's push, the nursing home soon established this special foundation. She hand-selected a group of enthusiastic volunteers and developed a detailed service plan.
"Every day, we send people to visit the elderly who live alone to understand their living needs. Li Li said seriously, "At the same time, we will also organize various entertainment activities on a regular basis to make them feel the joy of life." "
Volunteers have expressed their support and cooperation. They were all infected by Li Li's enthusiasm and said that they would do their best to help those lonely and helpless old people.
Soon, the fame of this foundation spread locally. Many elderly people in need came to ask for help, and Li Li and the volunteers did their best to take care of them.
"Thank you, we don't feel alone with you. An old man said gratefully.
"That's what we're supposed to do. Li Li replied with a smile, "We will always be here to accompany you through your old age." "
Day in and day out, Li Li and the volunteers work tirelessly to give their time and energy. They not only take care of the lives of the elderly, but also warm their lonely hearts in their own way.
"Li Li, you are such a kind child. An old man kindly said, "You remind me of my own daughter when I was younger." "
"You are my family. Li Li held the old man's hand, her eyes showing a strong sense of love, "I will always be here to accompany you." "
At this moment, Li Li received a phone call from Professor Zhang's family.
"Hello, I am Professor Zhang's grandson. A young man's voice came from the other end of the line, "I heard that you have been taking care of our grandfather and have established this foundation. On behalf of the whole family, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you. "
"It's all your grandfather's last wish. Li Li said gently, "I'm just doing my part." "
"We know. The other person responded, "Grandfather has been lonely until he met you." You gave him the last happiness and we are eternally grateful to you. "
"You're so polite. Li Li smiled and said, "Your grandfather is like a relative to me. I will always uphold his last wish to help more people in need. "
"Professor Zhang, you must be very happy. Li Li muttered to herself, "Your last wish is being fulfilled little by little. "
With the continuous development of the foundation, more and more elderly people have been helped and cared for. They no longer feel lonely, but instead are filled with happiness and tranquility.
"Li Li, we really appreciate you. An old man said from the bottom of his heart, "With you, we will no longer feel lonely and hopeless." "
"You deserve it. Li Li replied with a smile, "I will always be here to accompany you through the last days of your life." "
In this way, Li Li used her own way to realize Professor Zhang's last wish. She not only helped the lonely and helpless elderly, but also found a new direction and meaning in her life.
"Professor Zhang, you must be proud of me. Li Li looked at the sky, her eyes flashing with determination, "I will always remember your influence on me, and use my own way to help more people in need." "
Since then, Li Li's life has undergone earth-shaking changes. She is no longer an ordinary babysitter, but a caring and responsible person. She interprets the value of life in her own way, so that more people can feel warmth and hope.
All of this stems from the sincere emotion and inner satisfaction that the 45-year-old home-based nanny gained during the three years of taking care of retired professor Professor Zhang. With her actions, she proved that even an ordinary person can change the lives of others and make the world a better place.
