Aunt Wang, 58, is a retired factory worker. Since her daughter married Mr. Zhang, she has often helped take care of her two lovely grandsons. Although she is old, Aunt Wang is still willing to do her part, hoping to make her daughter and son-in-law easier.
One afternoon, Aunt Wang came to her daughter's house as usual to help take care of the children. While she was intently coaxing the children to play, her daughter, Mrs. Zhang, returned home.
"Mom, I have something to go out today, can you please take care of the child for a while?" Mrs. Zhang hurriedly changed into the clothes she was going out in as she spoke.
"No problem, you go get busy, I'm here to play with the kids. Aunt Wang said gently.
"Thank you so much, I don't know when I'll be back. Mrs. Zhang said apologetically.
"It's okay, you can go without worry, I will take good care of them. Aunt Wang said with a smile.
Seeing her daughter leave in a hurry, Aunt Wang turned her head and gently picked up the child who was playing. She gently patted the child on the back and hummed a gentle lullaby, and the child immediately fell silent and fell asleep peacefully.
Aunt Wang looked at the sleeping child with satisfaction, and her heart was full of happiness. As a retired elderly, I can help my daughter, so that my daughter can be less burdened, and I can also feel the meaning of life. Although sometimes it is tiring to take care of children, she feels heartfelt relief to see them healthy and happy.
Just as Aunt Wang was immersed in her thoughts, the doorbell rang. She got up lightly to open the door and found that it was Mrs. Zhang's husband, Mr. Zhang, who had returned.
"Auntie, you're still here, thank you so much. I just got a call saying that there was an urgent matter for me to deal with, so I rushed back to have a look. Mr. Zhang said enthusiastically.
"Nothing, I'm happy to help with the kids. Attend to your business, and I'll take good care of them. Aunt Wang said with a smile.
"Thank you so much, I'm going back to deal with that. If you're tired, take a break, and I'll take care of the baby. Mr. Zhang said and walked into the house.
Aunt Wang watched Mr. Zhang leave, and secretly thought in her heart that her daughter and son-in-law were kind people and could trust herself to take care of the children, which was a great comfort and encouragement for her. She gently closed the door and returned to the child, continuing to hum a lullaby and quietly watching the child sleep peacefully.
Just when Aunt Wang was focusing on taking care of the child, more than two hours had passed unconsciously. Suddenly, the doorbell rang again. Aunt Wang hurriedly got up to open the door and found that it was her daughter, Mrs. Zhang, who had returned.
"Mom, it's been hard for you to take care of you for so long. I've been busy outside just now, I'm really embarrassed to leave you here alone to take care of the kids. Mrs. Zhang said apologetically.
"It's okay, the child has been sleeping soundly, and I don't feel tired. Aunt Wang said with a smile.
"That would be great. By the way, Mom, I have something I want to discuss with you. Mrs. Zhang's expression became a little hesitant.
"What's the matter? Aunt Wang asked with concern.
"Actually, my husband and I have been busy with work recently, and we would like to ask if you can help us take care of our children for a long time. We can give you two thousand dollars a month as a subsidy. Mrs. Zhang said and took out an envelope from her bag, "This is this month's money, you can take it." "
Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment and didn't reach out to pick up the envelope. She looked at her daughter with some puzzlement, "You guys are so busy with work, I'm happy to help take care of the children." But what are you paying me for? I'm not working for you. "
"But, Mom, we think it's hard for you to help take care of the children every day. This money is a little compensation, and I hope it will make it easier for you. Mrs. Zhang explained.
"I don't need any compensation, I help with the children out of my own desire. Aunt Wang said firmly, "I know you are busy with work, so I am willing to help." If you give me money, it will make me feel like I'm working for you, not out of my own volition. "
"But, Mom, we're too busy to take care of the kids. If you can help for a long time, we can work with peace of mind. Mrs. Zhang said anxiously.
"I know you're busy at work, but I'm not helping with the kids in exchange for pay. I did this out of my own will, because I love my grandson and I want to make it easier for you. Aunt Wang said gently, "If you are really too busy, you can also find a nanny to help, I don't mind." "
"But babysitters are too expensive for us to afford. Moreover, we prefer that the children be taken care of by their families. Mrs. Zhang said helplessly.
"Then let me help, I'm retired and have plenty of time. As long as my children are healthy and happy, I feel satisfied. Aunt Wang reached out and held her daughter's hand, "You can work at ease, I will take good care of the children." "
Mrs. Zhang looked at her mother's sincere eyes and felt a little uneasy in her heart. She knew her mother's intentions, but she was worried that she would get tired.
"Mom, I know you have good intentions, but I can't bear to let you bear such a heavy burden alone. Let's find a babysitter, although it is more expensive, but it can make it easier for you. Mrs. Zhang said with some hesitation.
"Don't worry about me, kid. Although I am old, I am still in good health. And taking care of children is a pleasure for me, not a burden. Aunt Wang said softly, "Just concentrate on your work, and leave the child's affairs to me." "
At this moment, Mr. Zhang walked out of the back room.
"Wife, is the child sleeping well?" Mr. Zhang asked.
"The child slept well and was taken care of by his mother. Mrs. Zhang said with a smile.
"Thank you so much, Auntie. It's great to have you there, kids. Mr. Zhang said sincerely.
"You're welcome, I love children and it's a joy for me to take care of them. Aunt Wang said with relief.
The family looked at each other and smiled, feeling the warmth and happiness. Aunt Wang knew that she was right to choose to help her daughter's family, which not only made the child get good care, but also made her life more meaningful.
From that day on, Aunt Wang would come to her daughter's house almost every day to help take care of the children. Although she is sometimes a little tired, she is sincerely relieved to see the children grow up healthy and happy.
One day, after taking care of the child, Aunt Wang was about to go home, but she met her son-in-law, Mr. Zhang.
"Auntie, you are also here to help take care of the children today. Mr. Zhang said enthusiastically.
"yes, the kids have been doing well lately, and I'm happy to see them playing. Aunt Wang said with a smile.
"Thank you so much, Auntie. Our family is grateful for your continued help. Mr. Zhang said sincerely.
"Where, I volunteered to help. I am happiest when I see my children healthy and happy. Aunt Wang said.
"Auntie, I want to talk to you about some recent things. Mr. Zhang's expression became a little serious.
"Say whatever you want. Aunt Wang asked with concern.
"Actually, my wife and I have been very busy with work lately, and we have been thinking about whether to find a nanny to help take care of the children. Mr. Zhang said.
Aunt Wang was a little surprised, she didn't expect Mr. Zhang to mention this matter, "Do you have any concerns about finding a nanny?"
"We've always appreciated your continued help, but we felt that maybe you needed some rest and couldn't always put the burden on you. "Also, it might be more professional to have a professional nanny to take care of the children." "
Aunt Wang was silent for a moment, feeling a little lost in her heart, "I know you guys are thinking about me, but I really like taking care of children, and it's not a burden for me." "
"We know you love children, but we don't want you to be left alone with such a heavy responsibility. "We would like to ask if you would like to continue to help take care of the children, and if you feel too tired, we can also consider finding a babysitter." "
Aunt Wang pondered for a while, she knew that her daughter and son-in-law were well-intentioned, but she still hoped in her heart that she could continue to take care of the child.
"Mr. Zhang, I understand your considerations, but I really like to take care of children. It's not a burden, it's a joy in my life. If you're too busy, I can make it less frequent, but I hope to continue to help. Aunt Wang said sincerely.
Mr. Zhang looked at Aunt Wang's sincere eyes, and he was also a little moved in his heart. He knew that Aunt Wang was helping out of sincerity, not in exchange for any reward.
"Well, since Auntie you said so, then let's continue to let you help take care of the children. However, if you feel too tired, be sure to let us know and we can always find a babysitter to help. Mr. Zhang said.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the rest. Leave the child's affairs to me, and you can concentrate on your work. Aunt Wang said with relief.
Since then, Aunt Wang will come to her daughter's house every day to help take care of the children. Although she is sometimes a little tired, she feels extremely satisfied to see the children grow up healthy and happy.
Day after day, Aunt Wang would come to her daughter's house on time to help take care of the children. Although she is sometimes a little tired, she is sincerely relieved to see the children grow up healthy and happy.
One day, Aunt Wang was feeding the children when she suddenly heard the doorbell ring. She hurriedly settled the children and went to open the door.
"Mom, you're here. I was looking for you just now. Mrs. Zhang said hurriedly.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Aunt Wang asked worriedly.
Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, "Child, I don't need money, I help take care of the child out of my own will." "
"But, Mom, we're too busy to take care of the kids. If you can help for a long time, we can work with peace of mind. Mrs. Zhang said anxiously.
"Child, I know you're busy with work, but I'm not helping to take care of the kids in exchange for pay. I did this out of my own desire because I love my grandson and I want to make it easier for you. Aunt Wang said gently.
"But, Mom, we can't afford to babysit, so we hope you can continue to help. We really appreciate your help. Mrs. Zhang said helplessly.
Aunt Wang reached out and held her daughter's hand, "Child, don't worry. Taking care of children is a pleasure for me, not a burden. Just concentrate on your work, and leave the child's affairs to me. "
Mrs. Zhang looked at her mother's determined expression and finally nodded, "Okay, then thank you so much, Mom." We'll try to give you as much subsidy as possible. "
"No, I don't need any subsidies. If you're busy with work, I'll leave the child's affairs to me. Aunt Wang said with a smile.
Mrs. Zhang hugged her mother gratefully, and felt a warm feeling in her heart. She knew her mother genuinely wanted to help, not for money. Although she sometimes feels guilty, she is also full of joy to see her child grow up healthy and happy under the care of her grandmother.
From that day on, Aunt Wang continued to help take care of her grandson every day, and Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Zhang were finally able to work with peace of mind. The family gets along well, and the children grow up healthy and happy under the care of their grandmother, which makes Aunt Wang feel extremely relieved and satisfied.
However, the good times were short-lived. One day, while Aunt Wang was feeding the children, Mrs. Zhang suddenly returned.
"Mom, I have something to tell you. Mrs. Zhang's expression was a little serious.
"What's the matter, kid, what's wrong?" Aunt Wang asked worriedly.
"Mom, I discussed it with my husband, and we thought we should find a nanny to help take care of the children. Mrs. Zhang said.
Aunt Wang was a little surprised, "Why? Didn't I take care of the children all the time? I didn't feel too tired." "
"Mom, I know you've been helping to take care of the kids, and we thank you very much. However, we feel that it is better to find a professional nanny to take care of the children, so that you can make it easier. Mrs. Zhang explained.
"But, children, I really enjoy taking care of them, it's not a burden, it's a joy in my life. Aunt Wang said with some frustration.
Aunt Wang was silent for a moment, she felt a little lost and helpless in her heart. For so many years, she has taken care of her grandson out of her own volition, and never thought of anything in return. Now that her daughter wants her to leave, she can't help but feel a little sad.
Aunt Wang was silent, she felt full of loss and helplessness in her heart. For so many years, she has taken care of her grandson out of her own volition, and never thought of anything in return. Now that her daughter wants her to leave, she can't help but feel a little sad.
"Child, I know you have my eyes on me, but I really enjoy taking care of children. If you're too busy, you can get a babysitter to help, but I hope to keep helping. Aunt Wang said earnestly.
Mrs. Zhang looked at her mother's lost expression, and she felt a little unbearable in her heart. She knew that her mother really wanted to help, but they were too busy to let her mother take on such a heavy responsibility alone.
Aunt Wang was silent, she felt full of loss and helplessness in her heart. This family should be warm and harmonious, but now it has become a burden because of its old age. She sighed deeply and finally nodded.
"Well, now that you've decided, I don't have much to say. Aunt Wang whispered, "Then I won't come to help, you can work hard." "
