After 57-year-old Aunt Zhang retired, she occasionally helped her son's family take care of her grandson. On this day, the son's family moved to a new home and needed Aunt Zhang's help to take care of the 6-month-old baby. Aunt Zhang gladly accepted the task, which she considered her responsibility to do.
"Mom, thank you so much for being willing to help us take care of Xiao Ming. Your daughter-in-law and I have been very busy at work lately, and we really can't find time to take care of him. The son said gratefully while helping Aunt Zhang carry her luggage.
"Oh, you're welcome. Xiao Ming is my own grandson, and of course I have to do my best to take care of him. Aunt Zhang smiled kindly and said, "I just haven't had anything to do these days, so I can accompany the little guy well." "
The daughter-in-law also warmly welcomed Aunt Zhang's arrival, "Auntie, thank you so much for your willingness to help us take care of Xiao Ming." We really can't get out of the way lately, so thank you so much for your help. "
"Oh, you're welcome. Xiao Ming is my sweetheart, of course I have to take good care of him. Aunt Zhang patted her daughter-in-law's hand and said gently, "If there is anything that won't be, you can teach me slowly." "
"Thank you so much, Auntie. We have to go to work early tomorrow morning, so please take care of Xiao Ming. The daughter-in-law said with relief.
Aunt Zhang nodded, "Don't worry, I will take good care of him." "
"Xiao Ming, you are such a good baby. Aunt Zhang said in a low voice, with a loving look on her face, "Auntie will take good care of you." "
After a while, Xiao Ming woke up, and Aunt Zhang hurriedly brought a bottle to feed him. While coaxing Xiao Ming to drink milk, she carefully observed his reaction, for fear that she had done something wrong.
"Really good, not picky at all. Aunt Zhang praised sincerely. She carefully picked up Xiao Ming and patted him gently on the back, hoping to let him fall asleep smoothly.
In this way, Aunt Zhang took care of Xiao Ming alone. Although she was a little scrambling, she still tried her best to take care of this cute little one. She deeply felt the hardships of taking care of her children, but at the same time, she also felt indescribable happiness and fulfillment.
"Xiao Ming is really a good baby, not making a fuss at all. Aunt Zhang likes to say to herself, "Auntie takes good care of you every day, and hopes that you can grow up healthy and happy." "
Sometimes, Xiao Ming will suddenly cry non-stop, and Aunt Zhang will also be at a loss. She would carefully recall the methods her daughter-in-law had taught her, and patiently coax Xiao Ming, hoping to make him stop crying.
"Xiao Ming, what's wrong with you? Are you hungry or wet? Auntie will come to feed you right away and help you change your cloth. Aunt Zhang comforted Xiao Ming softly while carefully checking his condition.
Although she sometimes feels overwhelmed, Aunt Zhang has never given up taking care of Xiao Ming. She will take the initiative to learn various parenting experiences from her daughter-in-law and practice them seriously. Gradually, she has also made great progress in her skills in taking care of Xiao Ming.
One day, Xiao Ming suddenly had a fever. Aunt Zhang hurriedly called her daughter-in-law, but the daughter-in-law on the other end of the phone was very angry.
"Mom, why do you take care of the child so poorly? Xiao Ming has a fever, why don't you pay attention at all? I'm in a meeting right now, you can figure out a way first!" The daughter-in-law scolded.
Aunt Zhang's heart was sour, and she felt that she was too incompetent to take care of the child. She hung up the phone sadly, hugged Xiao Ming and cried.
"Xiao Ming, I'm sorry, it's Auntie who doesn't take care of you well. You're sick alone, and I'm so incompetent that I can't reach your mother. I'm so stupid. Aunt Zhang burst into tears while hugging Xiao Ming.
At this moment, Xiao Ming suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his little hand and grabbed Aunt Zhang's fingers. Aunt Zhang suddenly felt a burst of warmth, and tears flowed down involuntarily.
"Xiao Ming, you are such a good boy. Auntie will definitely take good care of you. Aunt Zhang gently kissed Xiao Ming's forehead.
In this way, a deep relationship was established between Aunt Zhang and Xiao Ming. She interacts intimately with Xiao Ming every day, humming songs to lull him to sleep, and telling stories to make him happy. Watching Xiao Ming grow up healthy and happy, Aunt Zhang's heart was filled with great pride and satisfaction.
One day, Xiao Ming started crying again. Aunt Zhang hurriedly picked him up and shook him gently, trying to calm him down.
"Xiao Ming, what's wrong with you? Is it because of your stomach discomfort? Auntie will give you medicine immediately. Aunt Zhang coaxed Xiao Ming while checking his body.
Xiao Ming still cried, and Aunt Zhang was anxiously at a loss. At this moment, the daughter-in-law rushed back from work.
"Mom, what's the matter with Xiao Ming? Why does he keep crying?" The daughter-in-law asked eagerly as soon as she entered the door.
"I didn't know, I had just breastfed him, but he just wouldn't stop. I just don't know what to do anymore. Aunt Zhang said helplessly.
The daughter-in-law frowned and walked quickly to Xiao Ming's side. She carefully examined Xiao Ming's body and found that his forehead was a little hot.
"Mom, Xiao Ming has a fever! Why didn't you find out?" The daughter-in-law said reproachfully.
"I—I don't know. I had just breastfed him when he suddenly started crying. Aunt Zhang felt guilty in her heart, and tears couldn't help but flow.
"Mom, why don't you know how to take care of the children? I don't want you to help us take care of Xiao Ming in the future. The daughter-in-law said angrily.
Aunt Zhang hugged Xiao Ming sadly, and tears couldn't stop flowing. She felt that she was so incompetent that she couldn't even take care of a little baby.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I will definitely study hard in the future, and I will definitely take care of Xiao Ming. Aunt Zhang choked up.
The daughter-in-law didn't say anything more, but quickly picked up Xiao Ming and took his temperature. Watching her daughter-in-law skillfully take care of Xiao Ming, Aunt Zhang felt even more incompetent in her heart.
Just when Aunt Zhang blamed herself for being sad, Xiao Ming suddenly opened her eyes and stretched out her little hand to grab Aunt Zhang's fingers. Aunt Zhang suddenly felt a burst of warmth, and tears flowed down involuntarily.
"Xiao Ming, I'm sorry, it's Auntie who doesn't take care of you well. Aunt Zhang gently kissed Xiao Ming's forehead, "Auntie will definitely study hard and will definitely take better care of you in the future." "
After this incident, Aunt Zhang made up her mind to learn how to take care of her children. She took the initiative to ask her daughter-in-law for various parenting knowledge, and practiced it seriously. Gradually, she has made great strides in her skills in taking care of Xiao Ming.
"Mom, you have been taking care of Xiao Ming better and better recently, and your daughter-in-law and I are very relieved. The son said approvingly.
Hearing the praise of her son and daughter-in-law, Aunt Zhang felt extremely relieved in her heart. She finally realized that she was not only a nanny for her daughter-in-law's family, but also an indispensable member of the family.
"You're welcome. Xiao Ming is my sweetheart, of course I have to take good care of him. Aunt Zhang said with a smile, "I have also slowly learned how to take care of my child, and I will definitely take better care of him in the future." "
Auntie Zhang is proud of her ability to use her spare energy to help her family. This experience made her rediscover her own value and made her understand that even when she is older, as long as she has the heart, she can still contribute to her family.
"Xiao Ming, Auntie will often come to see you. We also play a lot and have a good time together. Aunt Zhang said with a smile, her heart full of anticipation for the future.
The son's family also cherishes Aunt Zhang's dedication during this time.
"Mom, thank you so much this time. Your care for Xiao Ming reassured us a lot. The son said heartily.
"yes, Mom. Not only do you take good care of Xiao Ming, but you also take the initiative to learn various parenting methods, which is amazing. The daughter-in-law couldn't help but praise.
"Oh, you're welcome. Xiao Ming is my sweetheart, of course I have to take good care of him. Aunt Zhang said with a smile, "I have also slowly learned how to take care of my child, and I will definitely take better care of him in the future." "
"That's great. Mom, if there's anything you need help with in the future, just let us know, we'll be grateful. The son said sincerely.
"Okay, don't worry. I'll come to see him often, we'll definitely have fun. Aunt Zhang smiled and nodded.
In this way, Aunt Zhang began to live alone again. But her heart is filled with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. This experience of taking care of her grandson not only taught her how to take care of her children, but also made her rediscover her own value.
"So I'm still useful. Aunt Zhang said to herself, "Not only can I help my family, but I can also build a deep relationship with my grandchildren." "
Since then, Aunt Zhang has often visited Xiao Ming at her son's house. She will bring all kinds of toys and small gifts to play with Xiao Ming. Watching Xiao Ming grow up healthy and happy, Aunt Zhang's heart was filled with incomparable pride and joy.
"Xiao Ming, you're getting cuter and cuter. Aunt Zhang teased Xiao Ming and said with a smile, "Auntie feels very happy every time she comes to see you." "
Xiao Ming also likes Aunt Zhang, and every time he sees her, he will let out a cheerful laugh. Aunt Zhang would hold Xiao Ming and hum a lullaby softly, so that he could sleep peacefully.
"Xiao Ming, go to sleep, Auntie will always be with you. Aunt Zhang said softly, with a loving look on her face.
Sometimes, Aunt Zhang will also chat with her son's family. They will share their lives and talk about their children's growth.
"Mom, how are you doing, is there anything you need our help with?" The son asked with concern.
"Gee, I'm not pretty good. With Xiao Ming, a little baby, I live a very fulfilling life every day. Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "It's you, are you doing well?" "
"Mom, you're so nice. We will take good care of Xiao Ming, and if you need our help in the future, just let us know. The daughter-in-law said sincerely.
"Okay, don't worry. I'll come to see him often, we'll definitely have fun. Aunt Zhang said with a smile.
In this way, the relationship between Aunt Zhang and her son's family became more and more harmonious. She not only became Xiao Ming's closest partner, but also became an indispensable member of the family.
"Xiao Ming, Auntie will always love you. Aunt Zhang gently kissed Xiao Ming's forehead, "We will always be together and have a good time." "
