老三 2022.06.30 morning
In the afternoon, I returned to Xu’s house from the hospital. When I passed Lilac’s courtyard on my bicycle, I jumped off the bicycle and walked slowly in the shade. Today I also discovered a beautiful place, that is, there is a house next to Lilac's house. The iron railings are covered with dense ivy. The fat leaves are swaying gently in the wind. Purple, pink, and white morning glory. is blooming quietly in the shade. On the sunny side, the morning glory is already wilting.
Petunia is very interesting. When it wilts, it curls inward into the flower. It does not curl outward like other flowers, or shrink into the corner. It curls inward. The word involution came to mind.
A white butterfly with black spots on its body flew gracefully among the flowers. Later, it stood quietly on a flat leaf. When the wind went away, the butterfly swayed gently in the wind with the leaf. , like a butterfly riding a small boat, traveling around the world in the dust of the world...
Turning around this building, it is the courtyard of the old Xu family. I saw a woman standing in front of the Xu family. Looking at the back, she was of medium height. , is of medium height, with short hair neatly stuck to the back of his head. She was wearing a long gray cloth plaid dress, with an elastic belt at the waist. She didn't tie it tightly, but just slightly tucked it in at the waist.
The woman's skirt hangs down to her calf. At her feet are a pair of black cloth shoes with round laces and a pair of short-waisted flesh-colored stockings. There was a white bag slung on her shoulder, whether it was Pique or leather, I don't know the goods in this regard.
I have a hunch that the woman is applying for a job as a nanny. She was dressed dignifiedly and plainly, without necklaces, earrings, or bracelets, which was in line with the requirements of a nanny. She kept her back to me, and I didn't see her face, so I didn't know how old she was.
However, she poked her head and looked into the yard of Xu's house, and I found that the flesh on the back of her neck and shoulders was a little thick, which is usually a standard feature for middle-aged women. There was a slightly raised bump on the back of her neck. , is a cervical vertebra swelling caused by years of working with her head down. She took two steps in front of the door, and her walking posture was not so light, indicating that she was over forty years old.
Actually, I am also half guessing. People under the age of 40 rarely choose childcare as a career. Combining these points, I guess her age is around 45 years old.
The woman probably heard the sound of the bicycle and my footsteps. She turned back to look at me, with a smile on her face, and asked, "Is this Old Xu's house?"
The woman smiled, with wrinkles a little thick at the corners of her eyes. His eyes are bright and smiling.
I said: "You are here to apply for a job as a nanny, right?"
She was a little surprised, looked me up and down with her eyes, and said, "How do you know?"
I said: "I am a cook in Lao Xu's family Nanny, this is the house, come in. "
I opened the door of Xu's house and asked the woman to go first. But the woman stepped back, opened the door for me, and let me go first. She followed me and walked quietly on the corridor.
The woman's voice was soft and her steps were gentle. These all meet the conditions for a mother to find a nanny for her baby.
I led the woman into the hall. When I was changing slippers at the entrance, Niu Niu's cry came from upstairs. The woman stood in the hall and looked upstairs.
I said, "What's your name? I'll go up and tell the employer."
The woman said, "Sister, my name is Zhang Fengxia."
I asked Zhang Fengxia to sit on the sofa, and I climbed the stairs to the second floor.
Mrs. Xu was in Niu Niu’s room and was about to change Niu Niu’s diaper. It turns out that Niuniu pooped again.
I said: "Xiaojuan, the nanny has come to apply for a job, otherwise I will change Niu Niu's bath -"
Mrs. Xu pondered for three seconds, raised her eyes to look at me, and said softly: "Ask her to come up -" "
I glanced at Mrs. Xu and Niuniu crying on the bed, and understood what she meant.
I walked to the stairs and said to Zhang Fengxia in the hall: "Fengxia, the hostess asked you to come up."
Fengxia put her bag on the shoe cabinet at the door and quickly walked upstairs. She walked straight into Niuniu's room without waiting for my instructions. Seeing Mrs. Xu holding Niuniu's calf, she said, "I'm here to apply for a job as a nanny. My name is Zhang Fengxia. Just call me Fengxia. Let me change and wash the child. See if I'm up to standard." ?"
Mrs. Xu said, "Thank you. There is a blue basin with small fish in it. It is Niu Niu's bath basin. "
Fengxia went to the bathroom and filled up half of the warm water with the blue basin. Put it on the floor, took the wet wipes, took Niuniu from Mrs. Xu's hand, wiped Niuniu's butt clean, hugged Niuniu and put her into the basin. She first put Niuniu's little feet into the water, and then Slowly putting Niuniu's buttocks and back into the water, she allowed Niuniu's body to adapt to the water temperature.
Fengxia kept calling Niuniu's name softly, and she said: "Baby, we'll feel comfortable after we wash it off -"
Fengxia washed Niuniu and wiped her with the blue bath towel with a small dolphin that Mrs. Xu handed over. Niu Niu wrapped herself in it and put Niu Niu on the bed. She quickly sent the diaper she changed to the trash can, then took back a rag and wiped away the water stains that splashed next to the bathtub.
I noticed that the corners of Mrs. Xu’s mouth never drooped, which meant that she had a crush on Fengxia and didn’t dislike her.
Fengxia asked how many days since Niuniu was born, whether she should take breast milk or milk powder, and whether she had added complementary foods. These were all relatively professional questions, and I didn’t remember much.
Fengxia dried Niu Niu's body, put on an apricot yellow vest with a duck swimming pattern, and put on diapers. Niu Niu didn't cry much anymore, but she still chirped, probably because she was hungry.
Fengxia held Niuniu in her arms and comforted her softly. Niuniu is not very quiet, she is still chirping. She is looking for someone now. With her mother by her side, she still wants her to hold her.
Mrs. Xu took Niuniu and fed her.
Fengxia stood aside and said, "I am 46 years old this year. What should I call you?"
Mrs. Xu said, "Give me the second sister-in-law. Did you miss something this morning?"
Fengxia had a smile on her face. He said, "I'm very sorry. I went to attend my nephew's college entrance banquet at noon. My daughter took me to get a manicure in the morning. After attending the college entrance banquet, I washed off my manicure again——"
Fengxia stretched out her two Hands, her hands are round, white, soft, beautiful hands. The nails are trimmed and not long. There is no ring on the finger.
Mrs. Xu looked at Fengxia's fingers seriously and said, "Are the nails polished?"
Fengxia said, "If they are, they won't scratch the baby."
Mrs. Xu looked up at Fengxia's hair and said : "Did you dye your hair?"
Fengxia bit her lower lip and said, "I have white hair. I dyed my hair when I went to attend the college entrance banquet. If it's not according to the rules, I will wash my hair a few more times."
Xu The lady said: "Wash your hair a few more times in a while. The smell of hair dye will irritate the baby. You should not dye your hair when taking care of a baby who is younger than 1 month old."
Fengxia said hurriedly: "I know, I was wrong this time , I won’t dye my hair anymore.”
Mrs. Xu said: “As for me, I should be a villain first and then a gentleman. I will tell you everything I can’t accept. You can also tell me what you can’t accept.
Fengxia said: "Please speak, I will listen." "
Mrs. Xu said: "I ask you to mute your mobile phone all day long, and you cannot answer calls in the morning or afternoon. In the future, I will get off work at noon. When I take care of my children at this time, you can process the information on your phone, including when I take Niuniu with you at night. You can also check your phone, but in principle, when you take Niuniu alone, you are not allowed to answer the phone. .
Fengxia said: "I can accept this." My mobile phone is locked in the drawer. When I am alone with my children, I do not take my mobile phone with me. Unless I take my children out to enjoy the sun, I will take my mobile phone with me. "
I remembered that I used to work in a restaurant. As soon as I got to work, the foreman held a cardboard box at the door and put away all our mobile phones. When we left after work, he went to collect the mobile phones in the cardboard box.
Mrs. Xu was very happy. Satisfied with Fengxia's words, she said: "It's not that I'm being harsh, it's just that I saw a piece of news last night that scared me. I ask you not to take your eyes off Niuniu. You don’t need to take care of other things at home. You are only responsible for Niuniu, washing her clothes and tidying up the room where you and Niuniu live. When I am at home at noon and evening, I will take care of Niuniu. When Niuniu sleeps, you sleep with her. Only when Niuniu wakes up can you have the energy to play with Niuniu.
Fengxia said: "I remember, Niuniu and I are inseparable." "
Fengxia said an idiom.
I saw that I was no longer needed here, so I went downstairs to the lobby on the first floor. The old lady walked out of her room with a walker and asked me: "I seemed to hear something just now Someone has come in, is it you? "
I said: "Auntie, the nanny I applied for is here and she is chatting with Mrs. Xu upstairs.
The old lady squinted her eyes and smiled, and said, "Did Xiaojuan fall in love with this new guy?" "
I said: "That's almost it. "
I told the old lady that she asked me to give Su Ping the 200 yuan, so I gave it to Su Ping. The old lady asked: "How is Xiaoping doing? How long will it take to be discharged from hospital? "
I said: "I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. She asked me to thank you and said that she will come to see you after she is able to walk.
The old lady was very happy and said, "I'm relieved that Xiaoping is fine." "
I said: "Auntie, what are you eating tonight?
The old lady said: "You can make whatever Xiaojuan likes to eat. I can eat whatever she likes, as long as it's soft." "
Mrs. Xu later went downstairs with Fengxia, and Fengxia hugged Niuniu. Fengxia took out her ID card, health certificate, and professional certificate from her bag and showed them to Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu took pictures of them all with her mobile phone . I saw that Fengxia's professional certificate said "Professional Skills Certificate", and in the column below was Fengxia's name, Fengxia's ID number, and the certificate number
in the "Position Name" column. Inside, it was written: Maternal and Infant Nurse (Senior).
Mrs. Xu handed Niuniu to Fengxia, and she took the mop and mopped the floor. Mrs. Xu worked quickly and well. After finishing her meal, she sat down at the dining table to drink water. She said, "I don't need to exercise anymore. Cleaning the room every day is enough exercise." "
Niu Niu saw Mrs. Xu hanging around her but did not hug her. Niu Niu opened her mouth and howled. Mrs. Xu wiped half of the stairs, so she had to put down the rag and took Niu Niu from Fengxia's hand.
Say something conscientious , Fengxia has done much better than Su Ping. Mrs. Xu is satisfied with Fengxia. After two months, she will not fire Fengxia and let Su Ping take over Fengxia's job to take care of Niu Niu.
However, Xu. Housekeeping is also a physical job, and Mrs. Xu may not be able to insist on cleaning it every day. So, will the Xu family hire a third nanny? If they hire a third nanny, Su Ping will have a chance to come back this evening. My husband didn't come back for dinner and was out with his clients. There were Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Fengxia and I. Zhibo and Xiaoqing went out.
After dinner, I cleaned up the kitchen and rode my bicycle home. After that, I fed Daguai a sausage and took him out to have fun.Passing by the shop, the boy suddenly stopped leaving and squatted in front of the shop. Who could guess what he wanted to do?
He asked me to go into the shop and buy him food!
I bought two sausages and a chicken drumstick in the shop. Lately, every night when I’m writing an article, I feel hungry and want to eat something. I also bought a bag of cantaloupe .
After walking home, Daguai followed me, bumping like a little pony, running home. In the past, when I entered the corridor and went up the stairs, Daguai would sit there motionless. What is he going to do? He asked me to carry him upstairs.
My puppy is 14 years old. His vision and hearing have weakened, his sense of smell has declined, and he has difficulty climbing stairs. I was two feet away from him, so he couldn't see me, couldn't hear me, and couldn't smell me.
But what about tonight? I asked him to come over. I held the sausage in one hand and the chicken drumstick in the other hand, and handed them to him at the same time. This little guy knew it was a good idea. He didn't want sausage, just grabbed the chicken leg in his mouth and jumped up the stairs. He kept running to the door of my building with the chicken leg in his mouth.
Oops, what's going on? Before he took the chicken leg in his mouth, his sense of smell was not good and he had no strength to go upstairs. Why, a chicken drumstick cured all kinds of diseases?
Before going to work the next day, I called Su Ping and she said she would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. I said I would wait to see her until she was discharged. Su Ping doesn't need to bother. After two days when she can walk and run, she will come to Xu's house to see me.
When I arrived at Xu's house, outside the gate, I heard cousin Cuihua's loud voice coming from the room. My cousin is here, and there is an orange battery car in the yard. Did cousin Cuihua ride here?
Cousin Cuihua is sitting on the sofa, holding Niu Niu and playing with her. When the old lady saw me there, she asked me to wash some fruits and bring them to the living room.
I washed the fruits and brought them to the tea table in the living room. I said, "Cousin, I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to be rich and have the air of a boss."
Cousin Cuihua is interesting, whether you praise her or not Taunting her, as long as she said something good to her, she would accept it all. With a smile on her face, she said: "Am I fat? Oh my god, I've been eating well at meals recently. I'm tired of eating big fish and meat every day. If I don't like it, I like to eat cabbage, green onions dipped in soybean paste." . "
Cousin Cuihua held Niu Niu in her arms, reached for the peach on the tea table, and took a bite of the peach. The juice from the peach splashed out and fell on Niu Niu's face in her arms. Niu Niu rubbed her face randomly with her chubby hands.
Niu Niu’s hand still couldn’t find the right position.
When Fengxia saw Cuihua like that, she walked over and said, "Cousin, let me hug Niuniu."
Cuihua said, "No, no, no, I care about little fat man!"
Fengxia had no choice but to go when she saw me. After entering the kitchen, she followed me to the kitchen and whispered: "Sister, my cousin ate peaches, and the peach juice fell on Niu Niu's face. I'm afraid my second sister-in-law will be angry when she sees it."
I said: "Who saw this? Who wouldn’t be angry? Her spittle fell on the child’s face, and he will have a pockmarked face in the future.”
Fengxia was amused by me and said, “What should I do? I’ll hold him over, and I’m afraid.” My cousin was not happy."
I looked at Fengxia and said, "Who are you working for when you come to the Xu family?"
Fengxia looked at me a little confused and said, "You work for the Xu family."
I said. : "Who is your immediate boss?"
Fengxia smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law."
I said, "It will be easier if you know this. Your second sister-in-law saw her baby being picked up under her cousin's mouth." "Shu Xingzi, can she be happy?"
Fengxia said: "I am definitely not happy."
I said, "You can't make your immediate boss unhappy when you work in the Xu family, right? You don't have to worry about other people."
I gave Fengxia a bad idea. It's a bit of a prank.
Fengxia hesitated for a moment, then walked to the living room and said to cousin Cuihua: "Cousin, it's time for Niuniu to have a massage. I'll carry Niuniu upstairs."
Cousin Cuihua glanced at Fengxia displeasedly and didn't look at Niuniu. He handed it to Fengxia, but she hugged Niuniu tightly.She said: "What can I do if I hold you for a while? Niuniu can still lose some meat?"
Cuihua is so spitting when she talks, she seems to have lost a front tooth, and there is no inlay on it, so the teeth can't hold the saliva. Yes, whenever he speaks, he spits out his saliva. I don’t know if she paid attention to this.
Fengxia said firmly: "Niuniu has formed a habit and cannot be broken. I will give Niuniu a massage and then hold her down."
Cuihua said: "What is the use of massage? I will give Niuniu a massage."
Me It’s obvious that Cuihua likes Niuniu and the chubby little meat dumplings.
The old lady said: "Xiaoxia, don't do the massage today. It's okay if you don't massage for a day."
Fengxia didn't give the old lady any face, and said: "This is what my second sister-in-law asked me to do. If I didn't do it, it would be my job." It’s not done!”
Niuniu was already crying in Cuihua’s arms.
At this moment, Mrs. Xu came up from the basement downstairs. I don’t know if she had finished cleaning the downstairs, or if she heard Niu Niu crying, but she looked at Feng Xia with a heavy face. Fengxia just picked up Niuniu from Cuihua's arms and went upstairs.
Cousin Cuihua was very unhappy and said angrily: "Xiaojuan, this guy, I can't even hug Niuniu. I just hugged him for a while, but he didn't care enough, so he took me away."
Mrs. Xu said: " Oh, Niuniu may have fallen asleep. It's time to go to bed."
Cuihua looked at the apron around Mrs. Xu's waist and said, "Xiaojuan, you have so many nannies at home, do you still have to clean the house yourself?"
Mrs. Xu said more. Interestingly, she said: "I do housework and just do exercise. I don't have to go to the gym, otherwise I would have to go to the gym to lose weight."
Cuihua stood up, walked to Mrs. Xu and said, "Don't lose weight. She is so thin now that her collarbones can support small fishes. She is so thin that she has no flesh left. How ugly it is. A woman needs to be richer like me, Mr. Wang!"
Mrs. Xu originally wanted to give Cuihua two ounces. sentence, but seeing the old lady sitting on the sofa, Mrs. Xu remained silent.
Cuihua walked around the room upstairs and downstairs, returned to the first floor, sat in front of the sofa, picked up a plum, took a bite, and said while eating: "Xiaojuan, the layout of your family is not very good. , I used to be an employer, and their three-story building was much more luxurious than yours. It is said that their decoration cost was more than the cost of buying a house."
Mrs. Xu said: "Everything at home is your fault. My brother has the final say, he can decorate it however he wants. I think it’s pretty good.”
Cuihua ate plums and walked back and forth in the hall. She said half-jokingly: “Also, there’s something wrong with your home. Let me.” My aunt lives downstairs alone? You all go upstairs to hide for peace? Don't you have to delay the rescue? You are a doctor and you don't understand this?"
Mrs. Xu's face turned pale, but she said calmly: "The new nanny lives downstairs at night and can listen to my mother."
Cuihua curled her lips and said, "The hired nanny is an outsider. Can she work like her own family? Can't you and my cousin just move downstairs?"
Mrs. Xu didn't say anything and went to the kitchen. Wash the fruit. Cuihua followed to the kitchen and wanted to say something else. Mrs. Xu handed a washed cantaloupe to Cuihua and said, "I heard that my cousin's mother passed away in the countryside. Were you with her at the time?"
Cuihua immediately lowered her face and said, "I Aren't you working in the city? Unlike you, you live with the old lady and live separately on the second floor."
Mrs. Xu suddenly smiled and said, "If I live on the first floor, the second floor will be vacant for you. Huh?"
Mrs. Xu said it in a joking tone. Cuihua laughed and said, "I'm just a quick talker. If it were me, I would live downstairs."
Mrs. Xu added, " If it were you, wouldn't you be working in the city? "
The old lady didn't hear her niece and daughter-in-law bickering. She was still sitting on the sofa looking at Cuihua and Mrs. Xu with a smile.
Fengxia and Niu Niu usually rest on the second floor during the day. At night, Feng Xia takes Niu Niu to the guest room downstairs to sleep.
Cousin Cuihua did not stay for lunch and left on a battery car. She said that her son's restaurant was very busy now, and she would be even busier if she left. Therefore, she had to go back quickly to help her son entertain the guests.
Cousin Cuihua brought a bag of prawns to the old lady. While I was cooking, the old lady called Mr. Xu and learned that Mr. Xu would not be back for lunch. The old lady asked me to put the prawns in the refrigerator and cook them when Mr. Xu came back in the evening.
In the evening, Mr. Xu still didn’t come back for dinner. The old lady asked me to put the prawns in the freezer and freeze them. Mrs. Xu went to the freezer to check for missing food at night. When she saw this bag of prawns, she said to me: "Sister Hong, my mother asked you to freeze these shrimps?"
I nodded and said, "Yes."
Mrs. Xu She said softly: "Oh my God, all the good things have become stale. Besides, her old son is out there eating delicacies from all over the world, so why should she be thinking about him?"
I said: "Then, eat the prawns, or not?" "Eat?"
Mrs. Xu said: "Keep it for my mother. I won't touch Cuihua's things. Let's eat roast duck tonight. I marinated it overnight and cooked it in the oven today. It will definitely taste good. . "
With Fengxia taking care of Niuniu, Mrs. Xu and I were helping in the kitchen.
Just as the food was about to be served, a car rang outside and Mr. Xu came back. Mrs. Xu walked out quickly and said, "Hey, you didn't drink?"
Mr. Xu said, "I was attending the college entrance banquet and following the ceremony. No one noticed me, so I walked out. Juan'er, What do you think the child's score will be?"
Mrs. Xu asked in surprise: "More than 700 points?"
Mr. Xu chuckled and said, "You really know how to guess, it's not even 300 points."
Mrs. Xu was stunned. , and asked: "Ah, do you still hold a college entrance banquet for this little score?"
Mr. Xu said: "I guess it is because I have been so ruthless with gifts in recent years. If my child scores 200 points, I will hold a college entrance banquet to collect gifts and collect accounts. "
Mrs. Xu shook her head gently and said, "The entrance banquet is very harmful."
Mr. Xu glanced around the room and said, "I miss Niuniu. Where is Niuniu?"
Mrs. , shouted to the second floor: "Fengxia, take Niuniu down, his father is back."
Fengxia soon appeared on the stairs holding Niuniu. Fengxia was wearing a short skirt that day. The skirt was just above her knees and not too short.
Mr. Xu was still holding his hands flat. Fengxia hugged Niuniu into Mr. Xu's arms and said with a smile: "Niuniu, look who is hugging you, it's daddy."
I found that Fengxia's words were slightly A bit much.
Mrs. Xu greeted Mr. Xu for dinner.
Mr. Xu teased Niu Niu for a while, put Niu Niu in the stroller, sat at the dining table, and prepared to eat.
When the old lady saw her son coming back, she said, "Son, why didn't you tell me when you came back for dinner? I could let Xiaohong cook the prawns Cuihua brought."
Mr. Xu looked at it with his little eyes. When the food was on the table, he said: "Mom, if you have anything delicious at home, don't wait for me. You can eat as much as you want at home. I can eat everything outside, so I won't lose my mouth."
Mr. Xu gave it to the old lady. He picked up a piece of roast duck skin and said, "Mom, this must be Xiaojuan. If another daughter-in-law saw you hiding some prawns and refused to let her eat them, she would have been sulking with you."
The old lady smiled, Said: "I just have this little thought, I have good things in mind waiting for you to come back, let's sit down and eat together."
Mrs. Xu also smiled and said: "Mom, I understand you, I am not angry, I am just angry with you. The old son doesn’t come home every day. He always eats out, which ruins his stomach and intestines. He drinks too much, and his body is causing trouble to himself——"
was talking when Mr. Xu’s cell phone rang.
Mr. Xu's mobile phone was placed on the tea table in the living room. Fengxia stood up, walked quickly to the tea table, picked up the mobile phone, walked back to the dining table, and handed it to Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu answered the phone while eating.
I only heard a man's voice on the other end of the phone, saying: "Second brother, I heard news that Xiao Mongolia's son will have a college entrance banquet tomorrow. Will you go?"
Mr. Xu said to the phone: "I know the news "Can you not go? The relationship between the two of us requires us to be there!"
It turns out that the call was from Mr. Xu's driver, Xiaojun. Xiaojun said, "Then when are you going? Her son will hold a college entrance banquet tomorrow morning."
Mr. Xu stopped eating. While on the phone, he stood up, pushed away his chair, and walked to the living room. He said: "Xiaojun, you drive to pick me up, and we will go to Tongliao ."
Mrs. Xu's brows frowned slightly. Mrs. Xu became more sensitive when she heard the word "Little Mongolia".
Mr. Xu turned around and urged Mrs. Xu, saying, "Juan'er, what are you doing standing still? Go upstairs and get some clothes. I'll wear that red plaid shirt you bought me two days ago."
Xu The lady glanced at Mr. Xu and said calmly: "It's your son's entrance banquet. Are you wearing red clothes to show off?"
Mr. Xu said: "Then what should I wear? I have to wear something decent, right?"
Mrs. Xu got up, went upstairs, and said softly: "Wear that black suit!"
