Misplaced Relationship - Chap 16
Chapter 16 Household Miscellanea : 6866026
During the entire holiday, while others were having fun, Li Li was busy taking his father to the hospital for physical treatment.
Li Heping’s entire spine was severely injured, causing him to be completely paralyzed except for his left hand, which could still move slowly.
It didn’t have much effect on him, but it was better than nothing. Besides, his muscles had atrophied long ago, so he needed regular massage.
Li Heping was very reluctant to go to the hospital.
“Don’t go, save some money, it won’t get better anyway.” Li Heping’s voice was full of vicissitudes. The young man who used to be full of vigor and vitality had already changed.
“I’ve already been a burden to you guys too much, so don’t do this for me anymore.”
Li Li did not argue with him, but just said: “If you don’t go, your mother will be sad.”
Seeing the woman he loved so dearly suffer so much for him, Li Heping’s days were like being tortured. Naturally, he didn’t want her to suffer any more.
Too sad, so I can only remain silent.
When he went for physical therapy, Li Li waited outside. He was not allowed to bring his cell phone, so he could only sit there and wait for his father to come out and call a taxi to take him back to the rental house.
Zhao Qiu found a job as a supermarket stocker. The salary was not high, but fortunately it was close to home and she had time to come back to cook for her husband and take care of him.
I felt much more relaxed. I no longer had to waste energy wiping my husband’s body, and I didn’t even have to cook for myself. I could have hot meals and dishes when I came home.
So she smiled more often, and suddenly said at night: “Lili, I want to change my job.”
Li Li looked at her.
Zhao Qiu said softly: “Someone introduced me to a job as a nanny. The elderly man in that family is half paralyzed and cannot move his lower limbs, so he needs a nanny.
She cleans and cooks for three meals a day. She lives with her son and his wife, so she has to cook for two more people at night. She doesn’t have children, so she doesn’t have to help take care of them, and the space is also
It’s not far away, and the salary is 2,000 yuan more than working in a supermarket. I think it’s quite suitable. Lili, what do you think? ”
When Li Li heard that she was going to be a nanny, she shook her head subconsciously and frowned, saying, “How can you be a nanny? What if the other person has a bad temper and makes you angry?
What if they deliberately embarrass you? ”
Zhao Qiu said: “I don’t think so. The elder sister who introduced me is a very nice person. She told me that she has a good temper and is a kind person. She won’t embarrass me.
Besides, I have done what I should do, so there is no need to embarrass me, right?” She touched her nose, “It’s two thousand more, I want to give it a try. The other party heard that I have experience and
She was willing to let me go for an interview. Knowing my family situation, she also promised me that I could come back for two hours at noon, and then I would go in the evening after her son and daughter-in-law came back.
I can get off work, so I can still take care of your father.”
Li Li was still unwilling, “Mom, how can you have the strength to move a half-paralyzed old man around?”
Zhao Qiu smiled and said, “Mom is different now. I can lift your dad, so I should be able to do it too since the other party is a woman.”
She used to be unable to carry anything, but now she has the strength to turn her husband around, and even often carries him outside to bask in the sun.
He even said this with a hint of pride in his tone, but Li Li only felt distressed and sad. After a long while, he said, “Then I’ll go with you to have a look.”
If the other person seemed difficult to get along with, he would not want his mother to suffer such an injustice.
After returning home, Li Li woke up very early every day. When he turned on his phone, he found that Yan Ji had sent him a lot of messages, all of which were photos, some of which were landscape photos. Most of them were
It was a selfie. He was abroad, the sun was shining brightly there, the sea looked blue and clean, and just looking at it made people feel happy.
Yan Ji is sometimes quite narcissistic, and almost all of his selfies show his abdominal muscles, euphemistically saying, “Cao’er, I’ll satisfy your craving.”
Li Li was amused and pressed the voice button and said, “Be careful, I will print out these photos of yours and sell them. Maybe they can sell for a good price. You might as well take more photos.
Some, it’s better if the mermaid line is exposed. ”
Zhao Qiu, who was busy in the kitchen, didn’t know that he was texting his classmates, so he leaned out and asked, “Lili, what mermaid?”
Li Li smiled and said, “Nothing, I was just chatting with my roommate.”
“The roommate who lent you money?”
“Yes.” Li Li lied. He didn’t know why it was Yan Wen who called that day. The only possibility was that the message he sent was
The other party saw it, so he called me. This can also be inferred from Yan Ji’s later reaction, because Yan Ji did not ask about this matter at all, but only
It can be said that Yan Wen read the message and then deleted it, then found his own phone number in Yan Ji’s address book and called him.
“His name is Yan what…”
Li Li said: “Yan Ji, the Yan of banquet, the Ji of beautiful scenery and bright moon.”
Zhao Qiu said: “Yes, Yan Ji. He has helped our family so much, we should thank him. Where is he now? Is it convenient for us to video chat? Or
Should I thank him?”
Li Li quickly said, “No need, he is abroad and there is a time difference with us. He might be sleeping now. Look, he didn’t even reply to my message.”
Zhao Qiu rubbed his hands and said, “Then let’s pick a time later. We owe him such a big favor, and I don’t know what to do to thank him.
It’s nothing. If it’s an ordinary thing, maybe people won’t even look at it…”
“It’s okay, he’s quite generous and won’t care about these things.”
“They don’t mind, but we can’t ignore it. So, shouldn’t you go back to school tomorrow? I’ll get up early tomorrow and make some cakes for you to bring.
Go, it’s a token of my appreciation after all.”
“That’s not necessary.”
“Yes, I must.” Zhao Qiu laughed, “If I have the chance, I will invite him to my home. I will cook some delicious dishes to entertain him.
he.”
Li Li couldn’t persuade her any more, so he could only let her go.
The mother and son had breakfast, took care of Li Heping, and then went out.
The destination was indeed not far from the rental house. It took only three stops from the bus stop at the door to get there, and even walking would not take more than half an hour.
The host family lived in a new residential complex, and they had to wait for a long time downstairs for the access card before they were allowed to enter.
After going upstairs, the person who opened the door was a man who looked no older than 30 years old. He was well behaved and well mannered, but his gaze on Zhao Qiu’s face lingered for a long time.
After two seconds, he smiled and said, “Come in.”
The house was spacious, and the elderly person who needed care was not too old, only in his early sixties. He was dressed neatly and elegantly, wearing a
She was wearing a cheongsam with dark patterns and her hair was neatly combed. Her facial features were a little tense and her expression was somewhat serious when she looked at people.
After learning more about her, I found out that she used to be a teacher and became paralyzed due to a car accident.
The man introduced himself as Su Tianqing. He said, “My mother is very easy to take care of. She just has higher requirements for hygiene and the taste of the food is also light.
She can basically take care of herself and push her wheelchair. You just need to help her take a bath. She can also go to the toilet by herself. The toilet at home is
Smart, no need for help in this regard.” He then introduced: “Then my wife and I are both working, the company provides lunch, and we will not have breakfast at home
You just need to prepare dinner. If you want to get off work, you can wait until we come back. My off work time is 5:30 pm, usually 6:00 pm.
I can be home at 12:00. My wife’s schedule may not be fixed, but don’t worry, we know the difficulties at home and will not delay for too long. ”
Zhao Qiu was quite satisfied with everything. She said softly, “I will definitely try my best to keep it clean, but I don’t know if I can keep the food clean.
I can’t satisfy Teacher Liu…”
Su Tianqing looked at her with a smile: “Why don’t you give it a try? Why don’t you stay for lunch together?”
Zhao Qiu looked at her son and asked for his opinion. Li Li saw that she was very moved and thought that a teacher should not be so unreasonable, so he agreed reluctantly.
Nodded.
Zhao Qiu’s cooking skills are indeed good. In addition, Li Heping’s daily diet needs to be light and nutritious, so the three dishes and one soup she made were very delicious.
After tasting, they all nodded in satisfaction.
So they signed a six-month contract in the afternoon. There was no commission from the agent, and the salary was slightly higher than that of an ordinary domestic nanny.
Zhao Qiu seemed very happy to change to a job with a higher salary. She went back and told her husband happily. However, Li Heping smiled very reluctantly and finally sighed.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Qiu knew that he was blaming himself, so he comforted him, “It’s okay, I have a high salary now, and Lili will graduate in two years. By then, we can earn money together.
Money can definitely make your life better. Maybe in the future, medical science will be developed and you can stand up again. By then, Lili will have had surgery and have a girlfriend.
Get married, have a grandchild, and our family will be happy and harmonious.”
Her tone was full of encouragement and hope, but Li Heping only felt bitter and said in a hoarse voice: “I can’t give you anything. You can only live well without me.”
Zhao Qiu hurriedly said: “Don’t talk nonsense!”
Even though it was a reproach, her eyes couldn’t help but turn red.
The next morning, Zhao Qiu went to buy the freshest ingredients to make cakes. After working all morning, the osmanthus cakes she made were fragrant and sweet.
I bought a gift box and carefully packed a whole box. Then I carefully packed it with the packaging bags I had saved from doing handicrafts for others and handed it to Li Li.
“You must take good care of it and don’t let it break. It won’t look good if it breaks.”
“Okay, I understand.”
“Did you get the tickets?”
“No.” Li Li frowned. He was in a bad mood these days. He was worried about his father and mother at the same time. He even forgot to buy a car in advance.
Tickets. At this time, the short holiday is over and many people have to go back to school, so tickets are naturally in short supply.
Zhao Qiu said: “How about buying a bus ticket?”
Li Li said, “I’ll try refreshing it again.” Bus tickets are one-third more expensive than train tickets, and he was reluctant to spend the extra money.
But he refreshed the page for more than half an hour and still had no remaining tickets. Finally, he searched and downloaded an APP, and then sent the link to his dorm room to ask his friends to help him buy tickets.
In the group.
Several roommates gave Li Li some support, and Yan Ji called directly, “Cao’er, you didn’t buy the ticket?”
“I forgot to buy it.”
Yan Ji smiled, “How could you forget this? You are so stupid. I will think of a solution for you.”
Two minutes later he called again, “Don’t buy a ticket. My brother just happened to pass by your house. I’ll ask him to give you a ride.”
