Uncle Liu's anger seemed to set the whole room on fire, and his eyes widened as he stared at the nanny agent standing in front of him. The nanny agent looked embarrassed, and quickly explained: "Uncle Liu, don't be angry, the nanny we are looking for this time is the best in our company, with rich experience and careful caretakers." ”
"Attentive? I think the nannies in your company are here to enjoy the blessings! Uncle Liu retorted unceremoniously, "You tell my son!" I have hands and feet, I can take care of myself, and I don't need others to serve me. ”
Seeing this, the nanny agent had to cautiously comfort: "Uncle Liu, don't get excited. We understand your thoughts, but trust our professional vision. This nanny is not only experienced, but also very responsible, and is able to provide you with better care and companionship. ”
When Uncle Liu heard this, he calmed down his anger a little, but still insisted on his opinion: "I don't need a nanny, what I want is freedom, not being managed." If you force it like this, I will complain about your company! ”
Seeing this, the nanny agent felt that the old man had eased up a little, and hurriedly coaxed him. Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door. The nanny agent hurried to open the door, only to see a young girl standing in the doorway, looking at them with a smile on her face.
"Hello, I'm the new babysitter." The girl greeted warmly, "My name is Xiaofang, and I'm glad to be able to serve you." ”
When Uncle Liu heard the voice, he also turned his head to look at the door. He saw that Xiaofang was handsome and lovely, and his attitude was very kind, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but dissipate a little. He thought to himself, maybe this new nanny would be a little different?
Xiao Fang was actually apprehensive in her heart, she knew that Uncle Liu's previous mood was not very stable, so she made sufficient preparations before entering the room, wanting to use her enthusiasm and patience to infect him and make him feel her sincerity and professionalism.
She walked gently to Uncle Liu's side and said with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Liu." I am the new babysitter and I will do my best to provide you with the best care and service. If you have any needs or suggestions, please feel free to let me know. ”
Uncle Liu looked at Xiao Fang, and the anger in his heart seemed to subside a little.
He felt that this girl didn't look like the previous nannies who were just here to mess around, and her eyes revealed sincerity and concern. So he decided to give it a try first and see how the new babysitter was doing.
In the days that followed, Xiaofang proved her professionalism and sense of responsibility with her actions. She not only took care of Uncle Liu's daily life, but also took the initiative to chat and walk with him, but Uncle Liu was still like that, and he always had resentment in his heart.
This resentment may be against his son, or it may be against this lonely old age.
Until something happened that changed his life.
He went out fishing that day, and Xiaofang originally wanted to go with him, but Uncle Liu was annoyed when he saw her following, so he went alone. Unexpectedly, due to the slippery road, he accidentally fell by the river and sprained his ankle.
The pain was so painful that he couldn't move, so he could only lie on the ground and call for help. At this moment, Xiao Fang hurriedly ran over, and when she saw Uncle Liu's injury, she immediately called the emergency number, and carefully helped him up to calm his emotions.
Uncle Liu looked at Xiaofang's busy figure, and a warm current surged in his heart. Only then did he realize that Xiao Fang had been silently caring about him, but he hadn't noticed it before. This accident made him deeply feel Xiaofang's warmth and care, and also made him start to re-examine his life and mentality.
After examination and treatment in the hospital, Uncle Liu's injuries gradually improved. During this time, Xiaofang has been by his side, taking care of his daily life and diet, and chatting with him to relieve his boredom. Uncle Liu gradually felt the warmth and happiness of home, he began to cherish the time with Xiaofang, and began to learn to let go of past resentments and dissatisfactions.
Later, one day, Uncle Liu was practicing calligraphy in the study, and Xiaofang was very envious when he saw it. Uncle Liu taught her to write two strokes on a whim, but Xiaofang shook her head and said that she didn't know how to read.
Uncle Liu was taken aback, and he asked suspiciously, "Xiaofang, how can you be illiterate?" Aren't all young people going to school nowadays? ”
Xiao Fang lowered her head and replied a little shyly: "Uncle Liu, I have lived in the countryside since I was a child, and my family conditions are not good, and I have never gone to school. Later, I got married and had children, and I was busy taking care of my family, so I didn't have time to study. ”
When Uncle Liu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pity in his heart. He remembered that he had experienced the hardships of life when he was young, and he knew that it was not easy to be without culture.
But Xiaofang's suffering didn't stop there, Xiaofang continued: "In the family I married, my husband often drank and beat people, and my mother-in-law always bullied me. Later, my husband died, and my mother-in-law swept me out of the house, so I had to take my children to work everywhere. In order to make a living, I chose to become a nanny, although it was hard, but I finally had a place to live. ”
After hearing this, Uncle Liu was deeply sympathetic to Xiaofang's experience. He thought of his previous misunderstanding and indifference to Xiao Fang, and he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart. He held Xiao Fang's hand and said affectionately, "Xiao Fang, I'm sorry, I wasn't good enough for you before. In the future, I will take good care of you and treat you like family. ”
Xiao Fang listened to Uncle Liu's words, and her eyes flashed with tears. She felt Uncle Liu's sincerity and concern, and also understood that she had finally found someone she could rely on.
From then on, Uncle Liu and Xiaofang got along like relatives. Xiaofang not only takes care of Uncle Liu's daily life, but also walks and chats with him, sharing each other's stories and moods. Uncle Liu also did his best to help Xiaofang, taught her to read and write, and helped her find a more stable job.
Although the life of the two is simple, it is full of warmth and happiness. Uncle Liu no longer feels lonely and lonely, and he has found a partner who can accompany him through his old age. And Xiaofang has also found someone to rely on, and she no longer feels helpless and lost.
In each other's company, they have had many wonderful times together. They enjoy the sunrise and sunset together, taste the changes of the seasons together, and share the joys, sorrows and sorrows of life together. These precious memories have become the most valuable treasure in their later life.
During the New Year, his son did not have time to go home, it was Xiaofang who accompanied him, Uncle Liu looked at Xiaofang who had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with him, as if he saw his wife when he was young, I don't know if he drank some wine or how, Uncle Liu confessed to Xiaofang excitedly.
Uncle Liu's words made Xiao Fang stunned and shy, she lowered her head, and a blush appeared on her face. Although she knew that Uncle Liu had always been good to her, she never thought that she would have such a confession. After all, the two are very different in age and have very different identities.
However, looking at the sincere and firm light in Uncle Liu's eyes, the defense line in Xiao Fang's heart gradually collapsed. She raised her head, met Uncle Liu's gaze, and said softly, "Uncle Liu, I'm ...... I also appreciate your continued care and concern for me. However, the age gap between us is too big and I'm afraid ......"
Uncle Liu interrupted her, gently held her hand and said, "Xiaofang, I know you may have some concerns. But feelings are not determined by age and identity. I like you because of your kindness, your strength, and your love of life. I am willing to spend the rest of my life with you, rain or shine. ”
Xiao Fang listened to Uncle Liu's words, and the worries in her heart gradually dissipated. She looked at Uncle Liu's loving eyes, finally nodded, and smiled shyly: "Uncle Liu, I am also willing to be with you and spend the future days together." ”
The hands of the two were tightly clasped together, as if at this moment, all the difficulties and obstacles had disappeared. They snuggled up to each other and enjoyed this rare peace and happiness.
After the New Year, Uncle Liu felt that if he wanted to be together, he had to get married, which was good for Xiaofang, but as soon as the two of them discussed, his son came back angrily!
"Dad, how can you do that!" Seeing his son, Uncle Liu was also angry, and at this moment, Xiaofang rushed out and stopped Uncle Liu: "I asked your son to come back......"
