A short story every day to show you the bittersweet relationship between housekeeping sisters and their employers. This is purely fictitious, and any similarity is purely coincidental, as you will understand.
Thank you friends for reading, I hope you can like and forward it for me! ! !
On May 19, 2022, in the Li family villa.
The ex-wife of the employer, Mr. Li, took his three children to dinner. The three children are 11-year-old son Yaoyao, 8-year-old daughter Junjun, and 4-year-old girl Yingying, born to Mr. Li and his current wife.
The three children chatted affectionately while eating. Miss Qian ate slowly, her eyes falling on her two children lustfully.
Whether it is the home furnishings, or the temperament and gestures of the adults and children, it can be seen that this is a family with a profound background. The hostess was happily dining with her three children. The male host may still be working hard for his career outside. This is a happy family. I believe anyone who doesn’t know the whole story would think so.
Of course, what we can see with our eyes is often far from the essence of things.
Orchids are full of fruits, and flowers bloom and fall naturally.
After Teacher Zhou came today, he did not stop on the first floor and went directly to the second floor to wait for the children.
So, as soon as dinner was finished, Miss Qian said: "The teacher is already waiting for you. You go up quickly."
After saying that, she helped Yaoyao towards the elevator entrance.
Junjun whispered: "Mom, can I stay here at night?" A pair of big, small, barking eyes looked at her mother, full of expectation.
Four-year-old Yingying clapped her hands and smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
Miss Qian glanced at Yingying and said to Junjun, "You don't have a school uniform to change into."
Yaoyao said, "You can let Auntie wash it tonight. "Let's dry it."
Miss Qian's face was a little reluctant, but she still agreed: "Okay."
Miss Li and Lifang also followed to the elevator. When the elevator door opened, the three brothers went in first.
When Miss Qian was about to go in, Yingying stepped forward, stopped her with her two little hands and said, "Auntie, please go home." She straightened her arms, spread her fingers, raised her face and looked at her very seriously with her eyes. Look at Miss Qian.
Yaoyao stretched out her hand and pulled Yingying and said, "Go away!"
Miss Qian's expression was stunned for a moment, then she calmed down and said, "Hey! Why are you so rude? I helped my brother upstairs. Let's go."
Yingying looked back at her brother, but she still held her hand in front of her and said, "The two aunts can help me."
Miss Qian compromised. He said to Yaoyao: "You study hard, mom has something to do. Let's go first."
Yaoyao said: "Okay."
Miss Li accompanied the three brothers and sisters upstairs.
Miss Qian picked up her bag and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you, I have to take care of so many children. I have something else to do and I'll leave first."
Lifang sent Miss Qian out. In the yard in front, Miss Qian stopped. .
walked across the lawn and stood in front of the Podocarpus tree.
Today is cloudy, and the yard fell into darkness early. The needles of the Podocarpus tree showed a thick dark green color and trembled gently in the evening breeze.
After a long time, Miss Qian turned back to Lifang and said, "Have you grown so big?" After saying that, she reached out and brushed a handful of leaves, with a smile on her face.
Lifang said: "Yes, it grows fast."
Time is a great magician who can quietly shape and change everything in the world. How many years can't be turned back.
Miss Qian stopped lingering and quickly walked out of the yard. She got on the car without looking back, reversed the car neatly, and left.
went back to the house, and Miss Li had already gone downstairs to prepare breakfast for the next day in the kitchen.
After putting the tableware into the kitchen, Lifang complained to Miss Li: "I said before that when Miss Qian comes again, the security will notify us in advance. Today there was no notification. It made us very passive."
Miss Li asked: " Why are you passive?"
Lifang said: "Their relationship is like this, you have seen it.It is the responsibility of the security guard to let him know. Then it is our duty to notify the employer. Everything that needs to be reported has been reported, so we don’t have any responsibility anymore. Now that they are here without notification, if Mr. Li and others, especially Mrs. Li, get weird, it will be difficult for us to explain.
Miss Li thought for a while and said, "Then let's call the gate and tell them." So that we and they both have the responsibility. "
So, the two of them went to the living room. After calling the phone number at the gate, Ms. Li announced her home and told the general story of the matter.
A very angry voice over there said: "She hasn't been here for three days in a row recently. Here we are, didn’t you let me in when I called two days ago? Things have changed again so soon? "
Ms. Li patiently explained: "It is none of our business whether the weather changes. Let's just do our job well. "
There are usually three people on duty at the gate. At this time, a voice from the side came over: "Just say you understand, and just do as they say. "
The original voice came again on the phone, not so aggressive. He softened his tone and said, "I know, I will inform you in advance in the future. "
Lifang and Miss Li both breathed a sigh of relief.
When they returned to the kitchen, Miss Li said: "Sister, Manager Zhang is not married. I figured it out. "
Lifang said: "Maybe they have been delayed by their careers. Nowadays, many older people are unmarried.
Ms. Li lowered her head and whispered: "I have a girlfriend I have been with for six years. She said she just broke up last year." "
We have been dating for six years, and the only difference between marriage and marriage is probably the piece of paper. Who can expect a man in his thirties to be a blank slate? Ms. Li also had a marriage.
丽Fang said: "Why did you break up? We've been talking for six years. "
Miss Li said: "I'm too embarrassed to ask. After all, it is people's privacy. "
Lifang said: "It is privacy for irrelevant people. If you want to develop a relationship with him, you must understand these things. "
More than 20 years ago, Lifang and her husband met through others. They were still young at that time, so they didn't know how to know people. Their parents said yes, so they agreed. So many years have passed in a daze.
But Miss Li is now A woman in her thirties should have more ability to judge and distinguish between men and marriage, especially with her own physical condition.
Ms. Li thought for a while and then said: "Slowly. Get it. It’s not easy to ask seriously. "
Lifang felt that there was nothing wrong to ask. If these questions cannot be explained frankly to each other, how will we get along in the future?
However, Lifang knew that she was straight, and Miss Li had her own ideas. So she just said: " Just think it over yourself. "
As soon as she finished washing the dishes, she received a message from Mrs. Li: "Auntie, are Yingying and Yaoyao on the second floor? "
Lifang replied: "Yes. "
Mrs. Li immediately replied: "Go to the inn to pick up the express. The pickup code has been sent to you. "
Lifang answered OK.
Although Mrs. Li is in the confinement center, she is very familiar with the time flow of the nanny and the children, and knows who is doing what at what time.
Lifang went to pick up the express delivery, and when she passed the community gate , a familiar security guard asked: "Afang, did we embarrass you by not calling in advance today? "The light of gossip flashed on her face.
Lifang said: "No. "
took the courier and took pictures to show to Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li soon sent a voice message: "Auntie, these are the health products I asked someone to bring back to China (forgive me for not being able to give the specific name). You put it on the dining table and remind your husband to eat it every morning. "
Lifang said: "Okay, I will tell him every morning when he comes downstairs. "
Mrs. Li said: "It's best to watch him eat it. "
Lifang doesn't know what's wrong with Mr. Li's health. What's the use of taking this health supplement? She has to watch him eat it every day. She can't understand the words on it. Anyway, just agree to it first.
8pm When it was past o'clock, Mr. Li came back. As soon as he entered the door, Lifang took the box of health products and said, "Mr. Li, Mrs. Li bought this for you, and asked me to remind you to take it every morning."
Mr. Li just sat down on the sofa, took the box handed over by Lifang, read the instructions for a long time with a solemn expression, then put it on the coffee table and said: "I know. "
then asked: "Are they all upstairs? "
Lifang said: "Yes. Are you coming back to see Junjun off? She said she wouldn't go back tonight. "
Mr. Li said: "I know. Please tidy up the room on the third floor when you have time. Xiao Ai and the others will be back soon. Let the children live on the third floor then. "
Lifang asked: "Which room should I clean up? "
Mr. Li stood up and said, "Let's go up and have a look." "
The two of them took the elevator to the third floor and looked at the two rooms, one large and one small.
Mr. Li said: "Let him live in the larger one. Can hold children's bed . The smaller one is used as a guest room. "
It was almost half past eight. Lifang and Mr. Li went down to the second floor.
Lifang waited for them to finish class. Mr. Li went back to the master bedroom and changed into sportswear and went upstairs. He should be going to the gym on the top floor.
Before they finished class, Lifang changed all the sheets covers on the bed where she slept.
Miss Qian's nanny Qiu Yan sent a voice message, asking Junjun why she hasn't gone back yet. Lifang told Junjun that she would stay here tonight.
Qiu Yan complained, "No one told me, so I waited until now. "
Maybe Miss Qian was busy, so she forgot to tell her. But Lifang still said sorry.
Miss Li was very proactive today. After sending Teacher Zhou out, she came up to watch Yaoyao take a bath.
Today, Ying Ying asked to take a bath with her sister, so Lifang asked them to go into the shower room together.
Junjun washed herself, and Lifang asked Yingying to wash her back. I put some foam on you and made a fuss.
The two sisters were reluctant to come out and put on their pajamas. It was almost nine o'clock.
They didn't want to sleep together. While fighting on the bed, Lifang carried Yingying back to her own bed with railings. She thought about and several times.
Good words didn't work, and stories almost didn't work either. .
Mr. Li appeared at the door of the room like a god: "You two are still not sleeping? "The whole body was covered in sweat, and the sportswear was soaked and stuck to the body.
The two sisters became quiet instantly. Junjun lay down, her movements were very natural.
Yingying smiled and looked around for a blanket to cover her head.
Mr. Li Said: "Sister, you go down and rest, I will let them sleep. "
Lifang quickly went to the bathroom, took Junjun's school uniform and washed it.
Mr. Li sat on a chair at the door, picked up an English book and started reading.
Lifang looked at the little girl on the bed. Not moving.
When she was lying on the bed after taking a shower, Lifang received a message from her husband: "I will go to work tomorrow. "
Lifang didn't ask where he went to work, nor his salary. She just replied: "Okay. "
The top priority is to find a job and settle down. Salary comes second.
Although she didn't ask, Lifang's husband still sent another message: "Go to work as a porter in the finished product warehouse of a factory. "
Lifang asked: "Can I do it if I don't know how to drive a forklift? "In Lifang's impression, the goods in the finished product warehouse are all placed in boxes on pallets and can only be moved with a forklift.
quickly replied: "No, there are masters who specialize in driving forklifts. "
Lifang asked again: "No need to count, right? "
replied: "It shouldn't be necessary. "
It shouldn't be used, I hope it won't be used.
Lifang replied: "That's good, let's do it for a few more years. "
Early the next morning, Lifang was very busy. First she went to the basement to take out Junjun's school uniforms that had been dried. There was also an ironing machine to iron them, and she went up to the first floor to have a quick breakfast.
will be there soon. Go to the second floor to wake up Junjun. She and Yaoyao go to school earlier than Yingying.
After Junjun got up, Lifang asked her to put on her school uniform, watched her brush her teeth and wash her face, combed her hair, and checked her schoolbag to see if there was anything missing, and then led her downstairs. Eat breakfast.
When she saw Mr. Li, Lifang took the box of health care products to the dining table for him to eat.
Mr. Li frowned and looked at it for a long time, reluctantly ate two pills, sighed and said, "What's the use of eating this?"
Lifang didn't know what it was. Anyway, Li Tairang watched him eat.
After watching him finish eating, Lifang asked, "Who will send Junjun to school today?"
Mr. Li said, "I will send him to school." ’
Lifang ran to the second floor without stopping and asked Yingying to get up. Repeat the process of serving Junjun just now, and then take him downstairs for breakfast.
Early in the morning, Lifang was sweating from running up and down. My heart breaks for the father and daughter.
Junjun and Yaoyao have finished breakfast and are getting ready to go to school.
Seeing Yingying come down, Junjun stepped forward and squeezed her sister's hand and said, "Eat breakfast by yourself, sister has gone to school."
Yaoyao woke up immediately: "Sister, come back and play with me in the afternoon."
Junjun said: "I didn't tell my mother."
Mr. Li was already waiting for Junjun at the door. When he heard this, he said lovingly: "If you want to come back here, just go back. I'll tell your mother." . Just spend the weekend here."
Junjun smiled and said to Yingying: "Bye, I will come back to play with you in the afternoon."
After watching the father and daughter leave the door, Lifang took Yingying to have breakfast. .
After sending Yingying to kindergarten, Lifang still went to practice driving.
Before going to bed last night, I actually listened to the recording of what the coach said several times, and then looked for relevant videos on the Internet to analyze my own problems and find out how to deal with them.
just hope that today's practice will go smoothly. Don't listen to the devastating announcement that the exam is over and your grades have failed a few times.
As soon as she got on the bus, the coach asked Lifang if she had listened to the recording last night.
Lifang told the truth.
The coach said disdainfully: "Learn from the Internet? Haha."
Lifang said hurriedly: "I just compared it, and the main thing is to learn from you."
The coach changed the teaching method again today. Lifang has a problem. When the time came, he was no longer indifferent, but immediately corrected and explained on the spot.
Lifang had been getting along with him for the past few days and felt that although he had a sharp tongue, he had a good heart and his teaching was quite professional, so she said, "Coach, if you had taught me more yesterday, I might have listened less to the broadcast."
The coach said: "You made too many mistakes in the past few days, so many that I can't even correct them. I don't know which points to correct, so I can only let you play freely."
In the afternoon, the error rate in broadcasting gradually decreased. Lifang's confidence returned a little bit.
In the afternoon, after taking Yingying back to the villa, Lifang and Miss Li hurriedly cooked.
I don’t know what Mr. Li told Ms. Qian. She didn't come over today, and Junjun didn't go back either. Stayed here.
The next day was Saturday, the children did not go to school, and of course Lifang could not go to practice driving.
Mr. Li went out early in the morning.
Throughout the morning, Teacher Zhou took her three children to class, while Lifang hurriedly cleaned up. Especially the baby room on the third floor. Everything was wiped spotless, and the toilet, faucets, shower heads, etc. were wiped down with alcohol.
For today’s nap, after Lifang put the two sisters to sleep, she went downstairs.
When they got up for a nap, Mr. Li and his wife finally came over.
Since Yaoyao was injured on the first day and they came here to meet Miss Qian, they only came once in the morning of the third day. Yaoyao went to school but didn't see her. Miss Li told them about Yaoyao's injury.
Mr. Li said that if Miss Qian makes trouble again, his son's happiness will be ruined. I wonder if this counts?
After they came over today, Mr. Li asked: "Yaoyao, how are your feet?"
Yaoyao said: "It doesn't hurt much anymore. I can walk slowly by myself. But the teacher said that we should let the students help." Me for a while."
Mrs. Li chuckled and said, "The teachers and classmates are really good. Let's buy something and you can take it to school next Monday to thank them, right? "
Yaoyao said: "The school does not allow you to bring food casually. "
Mr. Li said: "It doesn't matter, just tell the teacher clearly that you are thanking your classmates for helping you. "
After sitting for a while, the old man looked at the three children and said with a smile: "How about going out for dinner today? "
This suggestion immediately received enthusiastic response from the three children.
So Mrs. Li said to Lifang: "You don't have to cook, go out to eat. "
Master Zhao didn't know what he was busy with. Mr. Li drove the car today.
Lifang thought she would ask Xuemei to go with her, but she didn't. Mrs. Li called and asked Xuemei not to cook for them. She wanted to eat. Just do whatever you want, and get off work when you're done.
Lifang gave Mr. Li the key to the business car, and soon he drove to the entrance of the hospital and the group got in the car. The restaurant has already been reserved.
Regardless of whether he is rich or poor, Mr. Li may occasionally show his all-powerful demeanor to his sons and daughters-in-law.
But to these grandchildren, he is a kind grandfather. Today, the ordering rights were completely handed over to the grandchildren.
The old couple smiled and looked at the three children discussing the dish. Junjun said it was not delicious and did not agree to order it. . Yingying immediately agreed with her sister.
When the three brothers and sisters were arguing, Mr. Li said, "Please order whatever you want. If you can’t finish it, we’ll take it away. Whoever ordered it is responsible, okay? "
Then they stopped their argument and happily finished ordering.
Because they ordered it themselves, the dishes were so full that they couldn't even put them on the table. The three brothers and sisters ate very hard.
Mrs. Li was very fond of Lifang and Li The lady said: "You guys should eat too. No need to be restrained. "
After dinner, Mr. Li and his wife originally thought about going to the shopping mall upstairs for the children to buy some clothes for them, but they thought of Yaoyao's feet being inconvenient, so they gave up.
Yaoyao and Yingying were just the same. Forget it, Old Mrs. Li mainly wanted to buy some clothes for Junjun.
Although the child does not lack these, she also wanted to express her feelings.
So, on the way back in the car, Old Mrs. Li said, "Jun." Jun, let’s go buy it when you come again next weekend. "
Junjun answered well.
This weekend, because Mr. Li leaves early and comes home late, there are only three children at home. It is especially happy.
In addition to following Teacher Zhou in the morning, the children had a lot of fun at other times. .
On Sunday afternoon, as soon as Lifang and Miss Li got up from their nap,
Lifang answered the call.
Lifang asked them to wait. Hang up. I called Mr. Li to explain the situation.
Mr. Li was silent for a while and then said, "Let her go in." "
Lifang relayed Mr. Li's words to the door post.
After hanging up the building intercom, Lifang went to the entrance of the hospital to greet Miss Qian.
Probably because of the weekend, Miss Qian was not as smartly dressed as usual. A well-cut dress set off her When
took off her sunglasses and walked towards the entrance of the courtyard, Lifang smiled and said hello: "Miss Qian, are you here?"
There was no smile on Miss Qian's face, and she asked Lifang with a stern face: "Did your nanny and the security guard say it yourself, or did they ask you to say it?" "
Lifang recalled it in her mind, and it seemed that she had not exposed anything about her to the security guard. So she asked, "What did you say? "
Miss Qian's almond-shaped eyes widened, she stared at Lifang and said, "You said you had to wait at the door for notification when I came in! ! ! "
Lifang was frightened all of a sudden. She replied in a low voice: "Because before, Mr. Li said before that he would report it. "
Actually, what Mr. Li said at that time was not to report, but that Miss Qian could not be allowed in in the future. Miss Qian herself was also present at the time.
Miss Qian looked at Lifang with a scrutinizing gaze and said loudly: "That's the call your nanny made, right?"
Lifang had a premonition that something was not good. No words were spoken.
Miss Qian snorted and entered the yard with her head held high.
Lifang quickly closed the door and followed Miss Qian.
Slippers have been placed at the door.
Miss Qian finished changing her shoes and stepped into the door. The housekeeper, Miss Li, was arranging the sofa and said, "Miss Qian is here? Yaoyao's foot is much better."
Miss Qian sat on the sofa, crossed one of her slender legs and said, "My son has a sprained foot. I'm here to see him." "Is there something wrong with him? So that you two nannies want the security to stop me and let me report?"
Lifang has learned about Miss Qian's temper, so she can try not to say anything.
Miss Li looked at Lifang, smiled and said: "I don't mean to stop you, I just report to Mr. Li and the others on a routine basis. We are also doing it for work, please understand."
Miss Qian said loudly: "Can I understand? Do you understand that you are relying on human power? Even fools know why I am here these days. Do you want you to call the security specifically?"
Ms. Li also stopped talking. He and Lifang both stood by the coffee table with their heads lowered.
Miss Qian spoke again, with a clear voice: "Let me tell you, don't worry, I'm divorced and I'm no longer the hostess here. But if I want to replace you, I can do it easily. After all, I still have children living here, right?" After saying that, he looked around the living room.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze and said: "I tell you, no matter in the workplace or as a person, you must not bow down to others, let alone use a chicken feather as an arrow. There is no need for me to argue with people like you, but you Why are you doing this? Don’t you know why I’m here at this time? Is it necessary to inform the security guard?”
Lifang looked at the clock in the living room and said with difficulty: “Miss Qian, it’s time for them to wake up from their nap. "I'm going up."
Miss Qian said angrily: "Go up. I'm here to take her home today."
Lifang ran upstairs.
Ms. Qian did not embarrass Miss Li any more and followed her upstairs.
On the second floor, Yaoyao has already taken a nap and is sitting at the desk reading.
Miss Qian said: "Son, are your feet healed? Can you walk?"
Yaoyao said: "Okay."
Lifang entered the bedroom, Junjun had already gotten up and was tying her hair.
Yingying is still asleep.
Lifang took the comb and combed it for Junjun.
Junjun may have heard Miss Qian's voice, saying: "Auntie, is my mother here?"
Lifang said: "Here it is."
After combing her hair, Junjun went to the living room. Lifang stayed in the room waiting for Yingying to wake up.
Miss Qian walked to the door and said to Lifang: "Auntie, pack up Junjun's things. I will take her back."
Lifang agreed. Yingying woke up, and Lifang had to take care of Yingying. I called Ms. Li to come and help.
After a while, Miss Li came up and asked what to pack?
Lifang then remembered that Junjun was staying temporarily this time and had nothing but a school uniform and a school bag. Casual clothes for weekends are originally kept here.
So she asked Miss Li to take out her school uniform from the closet.
The laughter of mother and son could be heard in the living room. Miss Li stood in the middle of the bedroom holding her school uniform and did not go out.
Yingying asked: "Why are you packing sister's things?"
Lifang whispered: "Auntie is here to pick up sister and go home. Don't talk for a while, do you hear me?" Lifang said in her ear. .
Yingying pouted and said, "I don't want my sister to go back."
Lifang made a shushing gesture with her hand. Yingying stopped talking.
After Lifang and Miss Li took Yingying out of the room, Miss Li handed the clothes to Junjun. The three of them went downstairs.
After a while, the mother and son went downstairs together.
Yingying was reluctant to let her sister go back. In fact, Junjun was reluctant to leave, so the two sisters were a little reluctant to leave.
Miss Qian did not rush them. Sitting on the sofa, he took out his mobile phone and made a call: "Li, your nanny is as good as you now? You actually asked the security guard to stop me from reporting? Is my second cousin not even as good as a nanny? I still have to watch them "
"What's wrong? Your old Li family has started to let some kind of housekeeper and nanny take charge of the house? I took it back."
's tone was dissatisfied and mocking.
Lifang and Miss Li just listened. Lifang began to regret that she had told Ms. Li her thoughts and worries that day.
Miss Qian hung up the phone and said to Junjun, "Can you leave?"
Lifang helped her carry her schoolbag to the gate.
Yingying also came to the gate to say goodbye to her sister.
Miss Qian walked in front without looking back.
Arriving at the gate of the hospital, Lifang tried to explain in a low voice: "Miss Qian, we didn't consider this matter. We shouldn't have called the security. But we also wanted to fulfill our responsibilities. No matter what, at least we would not It will be our fault."
Ms. Qian looked at Lifang dissatisfiedly for a while, and then said: "If you want to fulfill your job responsibilities, you must also be flexible. I came to see if my son is still being stopped outside. , I also want to save face." His tone was gentler than when he first entered.
Lifang said: "I'm sorry, this matter was entirely caused by us. Mr. Li and the others didn't know."
Miss Qian ignored Lifang, took the schoolbag, and said to Junjun: "Let's go."
The car left. After leaving, Lifang looked back and saw two brothers and sisters, Yaoyao and Yingying, standing at the gate.
Lifang had mixed feelings in her heart, including guilt, self-blame, regret, and a little grievance.
Are people’s hearts complex, or is the environment complex? The more you try to do well, the more self-defeating you become.
But what’s wrong with me?
