My old father is 79 years old this year. He suffered a lot when he was young. Fortunately, through his own efforts, he has a family, a career, a child and a happy life, and it can be considered a happy life.
After I graduated from university, I stayed in another province to work and settled down.
My three-year-old sister also married another place.
Both parents are relatively enlightened and respect our choices.
Ten years ago, my mother passed away due to illness. My father turned out to be a career-oriented man and rarely cared about life.
The death of his mother has hit him a big blow. He is so old that he doesn’t know how to take care of his diet and daily life.
So I suggested to take him to Guangzhou to live with us.
But my father was unwilling to do so, saying that he was used to his hometown and never went anywhere. The golden nest and silver nest were not as good as his old nest.
The sister naturally had no choice but to go to her son's house, let alone to go to her daughter's house.
So, my sister and I discussed that if we don’t pay to hire a hourly worker and cook for my father to clean.
This resolution also received permission from my father.
hourly worker was arranged by me contacting a friend. We are from the same hometown. Because she is only seven or eight years older than me, I call her sister Fang. When I hired a hourly worker, I installed a camera at home in advance because after all, I have seen some negative news and felt worried.
But the facts prove that my worries are redundant. Sister Fang is kind and friendly, clean and neat, and has a thoughtful and meticulous service.
She usually arrives about ten minutes in advance for two hours of working hours every day. When she gets off work, she won’t step on the spot.
, but I will chat with my father and chat about family matters.
days passed day by day, and it can be seen that my father is increasingly dependent on her.
Sometimes it is almost time for Sister Fang to work, and my father always looks up and looks at the wall clock on the wall, and then at the door, as if he is looking forward to something.
Every time I talk to us, I always praise Sister Fang for how good she is.
My sister and I were very happy to hear that because our father’s life doesn’t need us to worry about, we are only responsible for paying the money.
Once, my father accidentally sprained his foot when he went downstairs to walk his baby. The first person he called to notify was Sister Fang, who had already returned home from get off work.
Sister Fang received the call and notified me while rushing to see my father.
I immediately drove home, but when I arrived at the hospital where my father was, he had already undergone the surgery and had a thick bandage wrapped around his feet.
Doctor at first thought that Sister Fang was her father's family, because she was busy, and she registered and paid for her father and was having a physical examination.
I immediately decided to give her more compensation in addition to returning the advance payment from Sister Fang to her.
Sister Fang smiled and said, "No need or not, it's all what I should do."
My father's foot was injured and he was afraid that he would not be able to move freely for a while, so he had to take care of himself.
But my sister and I were both stubborn, so I naturally turned my attention to Sister Fang and asked her for her advice and asked her to come to our house as a nanny.
Sister Fang said that in addition to working as a part-time job in our house, there is another one, and she has to discuss it with other employers.
About half an hour later, Sister Fang agreed and we paid Sister Fang a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan to ensure food and accommodation. Although this is similar to her monthly salary for working as a part-time worker, it will be relatively easier and there is no need to run around.
My father was very happy when he heard that Sister Fang was a nanny in the house to take care of him.
A year and a half passed in the blink of an eye, and my father's foot injury gradually healed, but Sister Fang still works as a nanny at her father's house, but her father often gives Sister Fang holidays and asks her to go home often to see her.
And my sister and I, as we grow older and the trivialities of life, have returned home less and less.
so that my father was a little confused and we didn't know.
Once during the holidays, my sister and I took our family and children back together.
After the meal, my father told us solemnly that he had made a will and would leave this house to Sister Fang in the future.
"Dad, are you so confused? Why do you want to leave the house to outsiders?" When the sister heard this, she felt something was wrong.
My father's voice became louder: "I will give my own house to whoever I want."
"I don't give the house to my children, to nannies, to outsiders. Is there anyone who is like this?"
"Outsider? Who has been by my side and taken care of me in the past few years? Where are you when I need you?"
"That's what we hired her to take care of you? The money is paid."
"Can filial piety be completely replaced by money?" The father became more and more excited as he spoke.
Sister Fang quickly told everyone not to yell and help her father go back to her room to rest.
After a while, Sister Fang walked out calmly and faced us neither humble nor arrogant.
"Don't worry, he has the right to make a will to give me a real estate, and I have the right to refuse it. I won't want you in the house, don't worry, brother, I will do my best to take care of you.
I am very moved and contented. I only receive my own reward, and the house will still be yours in the future.
The eldest brother said that he made a will, but I did not raise any objection. I just wanted you to wake up and come back to accompany your father. No matter how much money it is, it cannot replace the care of companionship. No matter how caring the nanny hired, he is still not his own child. Girls, you can't replace your family affection.
Children, companionship is the best care!
When parents are getting older and their intelligence is declining, what they need is not only your material supply, but more of their hope is that you will fill their spiritual void.
Just like when they were young, they were willing to accompany you to grow up slowly, and now what they need is you to accompany him to grow up slowly."
After hearing Sister Fang's words, we felt extremely ashamed.
immediately decided that as the salary remained unchanged, I would give Sister Fang two more days off a week in the future, so that we and the children would come back to accompany my father.
