"Nanny?"
Dr. Song nodded." My mother's health is getting worse and she needs someone to take care of her. However, my wife and I are quite busy with work and we really don't have much time, so we wanted to find a nanny for her. However, I'm not too confident about the recommendation from the agency, so I've been delaying this matter. Heh, it's only until I met you today that I feel at ease letting you take care of my mother.”
Auntie Wu hesitated for a moment." But I still have to go home every day to take care of my son and mother-in-law…"
Dr. Song said," That's okay. You just have to go to my house according to your current working hours. My wife and I will go back at night, and you can go home. If something happens at home in the middle, you can go back anytime. You just have to settle my mother down."”
Seeing that Auntie Wu was still hesitating, he said,"Sis, you don't have to think about it. You can go to the company and resign tomorrow. If they don't give you this month's salary, I'll make it up to you. Then, you can call me. If there's still a salary, I'll give you the price the agency offered.”
Auntie Wu was shocked." That's too much! I'm just a nanny! How can I ask for 5,000 yuan from you?!"”
As a cleaner, she got up early and went to bed late every day. Her monthly salary, including her bonus, was only 2,000 yuan.
Dr. Song was amused." Sis, you're too honest. Who would complain about a high salary? Alright, it's settled. I'll leave you my phone number. You must call me tomorrow!”
Dr. Song left with the old lady. Auntie Wu still felt like she was in a dream as she sat on the bus.
When she got home, her mother-in-law had already prepared dinner and was watering the vegetables in the yard. When she saw Auntie Wu come back, she smiled and said,"The meal is ready. Wash your hands and eat.”
Auntie Wu reprimanded," Mom, didn't I tell you? I'll cook when I get back. Your legs aren't good. You can't stand too much."”
Grandma smiled, the wrinkles on her face squeezed together." It's okay, it's okay. Go wash your hands quickly. I'll go get Xiao Le. That child has been studying very hard recently. He started doing his homework as soon as he came back.”
Auntie Wu had just sat down at the dining table when her son, Xiao Le, came out of the house with his hands behind his back. He looked at her mysteriously and said,"Mom, guess how many marks I got on the math test this time?”
"My son didn't get a perfect score, did he?" Auntie Wu teased.”
"How did you know?" Xiao Le was shocked.”
Her mother-in-law was overjoyed." Oh my, my grandson scored 100! That's great. Come, have a drumstick."
While eating, Auntie Wu asked her son," Xiao Le, you haven't contacted your father for two weeks, right? Go, take your phone and call your dad.”
His son went obediently, but before he could call, his phone rang. It was a video call request. Xiao Le said happily,"It's Dad. He wants to video call us.”As he spoke, he picked up the video call.
Xiao Le's father was working in another city. He was having dinner with a few of his colleagues. He was homesick as he listened to them talk about his wife and children. He picked up his phone, opened WeChat, and made a video call.
Inside the house, a family of three chatted with a man far away on their mobile phones. Outside the house, there was a noisy market and a myriad of lights.
Li Hao's lucky sachet didn't turn Auntie Wu into a millionaire, but on this night, it brought a trace of warmth to this ordinary family.
……
After returning to school, Li Hao started to work non-stop.
The shooting of the public service advertisement was completed. The next step was post-production. Although the shooting only took a day, the post-production might not even be completed in a week.
Li Hao looked up from the computer and rubbed his sore eyes. He looked at the time and realized that it was already eight o'clock. Only then did he remember that he hadn't had dinner yet. Zhao Xiaofeng was the only one in the dorm memorizing English words. The other two had gone somewhere else.
"Feng, have you eaten?" Li Hao stood up and stretched as he asked.
Zhao Xiaofeng picked up half a piece of bread on the table and shook it," I'm eating. Are you going down to eat?"”
"Well, do you want me to bring you some food? Eating bread every day won't do."
Zhao Xiaofeng quickly waved his hand," No need, no need. I'm full. Next time."”
Li Hao didn't insist. He put on a jacket and went downstairs.
It was already so late, and he didn't want to leave the school. He went to the cafeteria. The cafeteria had three floors, and the higher it was, the more expensive it was, and the fewer people there were. As it was already past eight o'clock, the upper floors were closed, and only the first floor was still open.
There was a spicy hotpot on the innermost floor. It was one of the few dishes that Li Hao felt was quite delicious in the school cafeteria.
