"The Babysitter"
? Written by Hong Xiaolan
"Dong, dong, dong! Is anyone there?"
< p> "Here! Who is it?" Yumei and her husband Li Wen had just finished dinner and were drinking tea when they heard someone knocking on the door. She put down the teacup in her hand and walked over to open the door."Ah! Who are you looking for?" Yumei opened the door and took a look, thinking that this person might have knocked on the wrong door. The person knocking on the door in front of me was a beautiful woman, about forty years old, 1.65 meters tall, with big watery eyes, a small cherry mouth, and a smile on her face. Although she was dressed plainly, she looked extraordinary. Gentle and pleasant, with a mature flavor.
"Hello, madam! Are you Sister Yumei? My name is Yating. I was introduced as a nanny by my fellow villager Sister Chen Rong!" Yating said politely.
"Oh, come in, come in." Yumei then remembered that a few days ago, she casually told Chen Rong from the same community that she wanted to hire a nanny. It would be best to have someone she knew. Better. Unexpectedly, Chen Rong found a nanny so quickly.
Li Wen looked at the woman named Yating in front of him up and down, and asked in disbelief: "Are you here to be a nanny?"
? "Yes! Mr. , I think I should be able to do it. If you feel that I have not done well after one month, you can fire me without paying me." Yating said with a smile.
"No, no! If you are not satisfied, I will still give you the wages." Li Wen just couldn't believe that such a gentle and gentle person came to be a nanny, but he was embarrassed to ask more.
? "Are you literate? Who else is there at home?" Li Wen still couldn't control his emotions and asked Yating.
? "Literate, graduated from junior high school, at home there are parents-in-law, husband and a child. The husband is teaching, and the whole family's living expenses depend entirely on him. The child is a boy, already 10 years old." Yating still smiled. It gives people a very friendly feeling.
"Oh, it's not easy. Teachers' salaries are not high now. I am also a child, a boy. I am thirteen years old this year. I am in junior high school. What will he not understand in the future? See if you can teach him." Li Wen was already very satisfied with the nanny in front of him.
? "Okay! Sir, I will do my best!" Yating said with a smile.
"Yating, from now on you can call him Brother Wen, and call me Sister Yumei. There is no need to call him husband or wife. I will take you to see my son Binbin, he is doing his homework." Yumei is also filled with joy.
Yating is kind and virtuous. She has been caring for her husband since they got married, and she is particularly filial to her parents-in-law. Seeing that her parents-in-law were out of work and her son was in school, the family environment became increasingly difficult. So after discussing with her husband, she decided to work. Sister Chen Rong, who happened to be from the same hometown, came to sit down. She said that Li Wen's family had good connections and qualities, so she came to apply for the job.
As the days passed, Li Wen's home was kept in order by Yating. And his son Binbin likes Yating even more. Whenever he encounters any problem in homework, he goes to discuss it with Yating. He often pesters Yating to tell him stories. Yating only has a junior high school education, but she is good at English, mathematics, Chinese, calligraphy, etc., and Binbin's grades have soared. Li Wen and Yumei were happy in their eyes.
Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Yating's black hair has gradually been covered with the wind and frost of the years, and the silver strands are visible. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law are also old. Her husband and son have repeatedly persuaded her to quit her job and go home to take care of her father-in-law and mother-in-law. However, Yating has always been unable to let go of the love between Li Wen and Yumei.
Yating looked at the clear blue sky. It was her first time walking on the beach at dusk since she came to this coastal city to work as a nanny. The soft sea breeze danced, raising a layer of mist-like sand, creating a mysterious poetry, but Yating was in no mood at all. There were some leisurely looking sails in the distance of the sea, just like her mood at the moment. Binbin got married. The bride was a rich girl named Meifeng. When Yating saw her, she had an indescribable feeling. In short, she felt like a stranger. Yating thought it was time to resign from this job. But Li Wen, Yumei and Binbin refused, insisting that Yating wait until Meifeng gave birth to a child before resigning.
Meifeng is a bit thin, but very fair. With big eyes and a straight nose, she is also a complete beauty.
After Binbin and Meifeng got married, they moved out to a new home and did not live with Li Wen and his wife. Li Wen and his wife asked Yating to come with them to take care of Binbin and the others. Meifeng originally refused. She wanted to ask someone from her mother's family to come over as a nanny. However, since she had just gotten married, she had to listen to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, so she agreed that Yating should go with them. They live together, but Meifeng is always suspicious of things.
As soon as Yating went downstairs to throw away the garbage that day, Meifeng said to Binbin: "Binbin, how was Aunt Ting at your house before?"
"What the hell?" Like? That's great!" Binbin glanced at Meifeng, a little puzzled.
? "My hands and feet are not clean!"
? "My hands and feet are not clean? How should I say this?" Binbin was still puzzled.
"You are so stupid! I mean, has she ever stolen anything at your house before?" Meifeng continued before Binbin could answer, "My things always like to be messy. Let it go, I have no memory."
"How is it possible! Look, you are thinking nonsense again. How many times have I told you that Aunt Ting is a very nice person and is more affectionate than a relative?" Binbin's feelings for Yating are not just as a nanny, but as his own nanny. He feels that apart from his parents, Aunt Ting is the best to him.
"Huh! You're the one who's stupid!" Meifeng still didn't believe it. She was silently thinking of a plan in her heart. She wanted to try to see if Yating was as honest as Binbin said.
The next day, Meifeng secretly placed one of her small bracelets beside the sofa, and then went to work with Binbin. She knew that Yating would clean the sofa every day and would definitely find it. .
Yating finished everything else and started cleaning the sofa. She suddenly saw this golden bracelet. She was stunned for a moment, then silently picked it up, wrapped it in her handkerchief, and put it in pocket.
In the evening, Meifeng and Binbin came back, and Yating served hot meals. After eating, Yating washed the dishes, finished all the housework, and went into the room to sleep. Meifeng saw that Yating didn't mention anything about picking up the bracelet, so she held back her anger. She wanted to question Yating, but when she thought about it, she was afraid that Yating would say she forgot to mention it, so she endured it. She wanted to continue. have a look.
After a few days, Meifeng saw that Yating was still the same as before. She wanted to try Yating again. When she was changing her shoes to go to work, she deliberately broke the gold chain on her feet. Dropped it on the carpet, pretended not to know, and went to work.
When she came back from get off work in the evening, Yating still served hot meals. After eating, she finished all the housework and went into her room to sleep. She still didn't mention the gold chain she picked up. Meifeng thought to herself, didn't she find the gold anklet? Meifeng went to the carpet to look for it, and the gold chain was indeed gone. Meifeng suppressed the anger in her heart and went to bed, but she couldn't fall asleep. She didn't want to tell Binbin about testing Yating, for fear that Binbin would say it was not good for her to do so.
"Binbin, Binbin, are you asleep?" Meifeng still couldn't hold it in, she had a plan in mind.
"What's wrong? I just fell asleep and you woke me up again. What happened?" Binbin turned over and hugged Meifeng and asked.
"Tomorrow, I want to fire Aunt Ting."
"What for? Okay, we are not short of money." Binbin woke up from sleep.
"I know, but we are two people now, and we haven't had a baby yet, so we really don't need a nanny. I think that when we have a baby, we can ask Aunt Ting if needed. Besides, that's it. After many years, it’s time for Aunt Ting to go back and enjoy her family life, isn’t her son getting married soon?” Meifeng said a lot in one breath. Binbin sat up, picked up the teacup on the table beside the bed, opened the lid and took a deep sip of tea. He exhaled as if he had just drank wine. He had complicated emotions in his heart. Over the years, he and Aunt Ting have been as close as mother and son, and they really couldn't bear to see Aunt Ting leave, but what Meifeng said was right.
During breakfast the next day, Meifeng was about to tell Yating that she was going to fire her, when suddenly the doorbell rang. Yating went to open the door: "Brother Wen, Sister Yumei, you are so early. Come and have breakfast together. I have done your share."
Binbin and Meifeng were a little surprised: "Dad, Mom "Why are you here? You didn't say anything first." Meifeng hurriedly greeted her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"Oh,! Your Aunt Ting is resigning and going back today. Let's come over to get together and see her off."
Yating smiled and said: "Brother Wen, Yumei Sister, you are too polite."
"Yes! I really can't bear to see Aunt Ting leave." Binbin looked at Yating with pleading eyes.
"Silly boy, I really miss Aunt Ting. Just go and see Aunt Ting when you have time in the future!" Yating smiled.
After breakfast, Yating packed her things, just like when she first came here more than ten years ago, she just put a simple package and went home.
After Yating left, Meifeng couldn't wait to say: "Dad, mom, Aunt Ting..."
"I know, you kid, Meifeng! This It's what your Aunt Ting asked me to give to you." Yumei interrupted Meifeng knowingly and handed the thing wrapped in a handkerchief to Meifeng.
Meifeng opened the handkerchief and saw that it was the two gold chains that she had deliberately lost. There were eight delicate words written on the white handkerchief: Don't trust those who employ them, and don't trust those who are suspicious!
It turned out that when Yating first picked up the gold chain, she guessed that Meifeng was testing her, so she called Li Wen and his wife. In fact, Li Wen and his wife had already been here that day.
Meifeng held the handkerchief in both hands blankly and lowered her head in shame.
