Chapter 107 Nanny
The slanting sun shone into the house, and the sun was dyed a layer of golden yellow by the twilight, and even the clouds became colorful. The outline of the mountains could be seen in the distance. Against the backdrop of the golden sunset, it formed a very beautiful natural picture.

Wang Zhong was lying on a deck chair on the terrace, facing the direction of the setting sun, and the golden sunlight was still shining on his body. Next to him was a small table with a dark tea tray on it. On the tea tray was a small ceramic teapot. The color is ruddy and deep, slightly bigger than a fist. There is a book on the side of the tea tray. The pages of the book are not neat, and the bookmark is sandwiched in one-third of the way.

Wang Zhong stretched out his hand to take the teapot in his hand, passed the middle finger and index finger through the handle of the teapot, supported the bottom of the teapot with his palm, and turned the spout to himself, and took a sip happily.

Not all tea leaves are brewed in the teapot, but there are wolfberries and chrysanthemums.

Even though I have been exercising all year round, I have never slacked off, but when I am middle-aged, I am a little bit powerless in many things.

Wearing a long-sleeved shirt on the upper body, loose trousers on the lower body, and wearing a pair of light-colored maid slippers, Zheng Juan also walked to the terrace with a pot of hot water, took the tea pot from Wang Zhong, lifted the lid, and poured it Add half of the pot of hot water, and reminded: "The boiled water just added, let it cool down before drinking."

Wang Zhong pointed to the gorgeous sunset in the sky and said, "Look, what a beautiful scenery."

Zheng Juan sat on the round stool next to Wang Zhong and looked at the sky: "It's really pretty."

Looking down at Wang Zhong with his eyes closed and enjoying his face, Zheng Juan struggled for a long time, but finally couldn't help asking.

"It's going to be buried in the ground tomorrow, why don't we go?"

Wang Zhong opened his eyes and turned to look at her, and said, "If you don't want to go, you won't go, so there is still a lie! By the way, you are not allowed to go there secretly."

His expression was quite serious.

Zheng Juan gave Wang Zhong an angry look, raised her eyebrows and said, "Even if I want to go, I'll go there in the open and aboveboard, why would I go there secretly."

"You are not allowed to go in the open and aboveboard."

"In the final analysis, she is also the elder brother's mother-in-law, and death is the most important thing. The past is over, and now everyone is gone, so why do we care about those things!" Zheng Juanyi is very open-minded, and just as she said , there is no need to care about a dead man.

If the key point is not to go, Zhou Bingyi can't justify it.

"It's not something to worry about."

"What is that?" Zheng Juan was puzzled.

Wang Zhongdao: "This is a matter of attitude. Didn't the Hao family look down on our worker's family? Then we will fulfill their wish and have no contact with them. Don't have any involvement.

They continue to be their family of high-ranking officials, and we just live the life of our ordinary people, without affecting each other, and doing what they want, isn't it good? "

"Okay, okay, the Hao family has only the eldest sister-in-law now, and has no other relatives. Is it possible that we have to draw a clear line with the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and we will not have any contact with them in the future?"

If it was about other matters, Zheng Juan would basically obey Wang Zhong, but when it comes to matters related to her family, many times, although Zheng Juan would not refute Wang Zhong in front of others, she would not refute Wang Zhong in private. He will still persuade Wang Zhong.

"It's also good to draw a clear line of boundaries. To be honest, I really don't like Zhou Bingyi. Like now, it's good for us to live our own lives."

In fact, Zhou Bingyi was not a bad person, but he was always confused about the matter of the Hao family, and came over several times to make things difficult for Wang Zhong, which made Wang Zhong tireless.

"What are you talking about!" Zheng Juan raised her hand angrily and slapped Wang Zhong's arm: "That's your elder brother, both born to the same mother, how can there be a clear line between brothers and sisters, who will never communicate with each other. "

"Why not? From ancient times to the present, there have been more brothers fighting against each other than in the past. The princes of the past dynasties fought for the dragon, and the children of the big families fought for the right to inherit. Which one is not bloody and bloody, stepping on their own brothers? The ones whose lives are in the top ranks are the families of ordinary people who divide the family and fight for property, brothers and sisters who turn against each other, and those who do not communicate with each other after old age and death are too numerous to mention."

"Hmph! You're the one who is right!" Zheng Juan glared at Wang Zhong, a little annoyed: "In the future, when we grow old, when the children grow up and start their own families, we have to draw a clear line and never interact with each other?"

"It's not the same thing."

"It's the same thing." Zheng Juan said: "Didn't you often say that we, as parents, are the best teachers for our children, and children learn the principles of how to behave in the world from us!"

"That's not bad." Wang Zhong said.

"But the truth is the truth. You have to adapt to local conditions. You can't kill them all with one stick." Wang Zhong explained: "Besides, isn't it just a funeral? If we don't go, we won't go. It's not without reason. If it's because Zhou Bingyi has to draw a clear line with me about this matter, so I will admit it."

"As for the children, everything in this world can't escape the word of reason. If we behave properly and sit upright, do we have to make compromises in order to educate the children?"

"Besides, it's not that you don't know my temper. If we really go, I will definitely not be happy in my heart. If I say something that shouldn't be said, maybe something will happen. It's all embarrassing, isn't that self-defeating instead?"

"Rather than that, it's better not to go in the first place. Isn't that just hello, me, and everyone!"

"Okay, okay! Don't go, don't go!" Zheng Juan was also helpless, "Such a big person, how come he still looks like a child."

Zheng Juan was also helpless. The reason why she persuaded Wang Zhong was because she didn't want the relationship between Wang Zhong and Zhou Bingyi, which had been repaired with great difficulty, to deteriorate again.

But Wang Zhong made it clear that he didn't want to go, and listening to Wang Zhong's words, it was obviously not because of anger, but after careful consideration. Zheng Juan would never force Wang Zhong to do things that Wang Zhong refused to do, so she simply did. to his liking.

Wang Zhong walked behind Zheng Juan, hugged her from behind, leaned his chin on Zheng Juan's shoulder, and said softly: "Daughter-in-law, I know you are doing it for my own good, and I am afraid that I will regret it in the future."

Wang Zhong's voice rang in her ears, and with the sound of breathing, Zheng Juan put her palms on the backs of her two big hands in front of her lower abdomen, and tilted her head slightly backwards: "You are always upright, as long as you are not temporarily I support you in any impulsive decision."

Wang Zhong pulled Zheng Juan around and looked at each other. A happy smile naturally appeared on Wang Zhong's face: "Stop talking about such bad things."

"En!" Zheng Juan nodded.

Wang Zhong rolled his eyes, and his voice changed accordingly: "By the way, why don't you go back to the optical copy tomorrow."

"Oh, why didn't you say it earlier." Zheng Juan first came to her senses, then she was worried, and then she gave Wang Zhong a complaining look: "Brother has been busy with the funeral these days, Zhou Rong must have gone to help, Dad Mom is alone by my side, how can Mom be so busy."

Compared to asking Zheng Juan to go to Jin Yueji's funeral, Wang Zhong would be more accepting of Huiguang's film to help Li Suhua.

"Didn't I just remember that too!" Wang Zhong laughed.

Zheng Juan said: "How about I go back and have a look later?"

"Forget it, it will be dark later, and we will go tomorrow."

In the early morning of the next day, Zheng Juan went to the restaurant to look around, explained a bit, then drove to the vegetable market, sold four or five ribs, cut five catties of mutton, and went to the store to buy a tonic. The box of milk and the large and small bags almost filled the trunk of the car, so I drove back to the optical film.

On the other side, the Hao family!

Today is the day of Jin Yueji's burial, relatives and friends, Father Hao and Jin Yueji's old comrades-in-arms, old colleagues, those who failed to come yesterday, today also made time to come to express condolences and send Jin Yueji the last journey.

Zhou Rong was still there, she asked for leave from the school, and came here specially to attend Jin Yueji's funeral. She was also Zhou Bingyi's own sister, and she had helped Zhou Bingyi a lot in the past two days.

Although a big leader like Jin Yueji would have the yamen to help with the funeral, even if no one is in charge, both Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei wanted to do it by themselves and send Jin Yueji to her last journey.

Zhou Rong is Zhou Bingyi's biological sister, so naturally she won't sit idly by.

There were also a lot of guests who came to express their condolences. The top leaders of various yamen departments came by themselves if they were able to come, and those who couldn't come due to delays had their family members or secretaries help them.

Even the principal of Jichun University came over. It was no surprise to see Zhou Rong. The two greeted each other and chatted for a while.

Zhou Rong was originally born and raised in Jichun. When the college entrance examination was resumed, the three brothers and sisters of the old Zhou family were among the few outstanding talents in Jiangliao Province who were admitted to Yanda University and Shuimu University. Like this family, all three brothers and sisters were admitted to such a good school, let alone It's the whole of Jiangliao, even in the whole country, it's very rare.

And before inviting Zhou Rong back to Jichun, the school did an investigation on Zhou Rong's situation, and had a basic understanding of Zhou Rong's family situation.

Seeing that Jin Yueji was about to go to the ground, Hao Dongmei felt infinite grief welling up from the bottom of her heart again, and she burst into tears, Zhou Rong and Qu Xiuzhen kept persuading her.

In the evening, after seeing off all the guests, the couple sat in the living room and had a simple dinner. Finally, Hao Dongmei couldn't help but said, "Bingkun and Zheng Juan really didn't come today."

Zhou Bingyi's expression darkened when he heard the words, he nodded his head with difficulty, and sighed: "Hey." As for Wang Zhong, he really had no way out. They were all rendered speechless by Wang Zhong's words.

Hao Dongmei felt unspeakable grievances in her heart: "Even if my mother felt sorry for them before, and they refused to see my mother for the last time, that's fine, but now that my mother is gone, this last journey They don't come over to give it away?"

At the same time, he also defended his mother.

"You are his big brother!"

Hao Dongmei cried while talking, the tears could not stop falling from the bottom of her eyes.

Zhou Bingyi could only continue to sigh, full of helplessness, and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak.

After this incident, Hao Dongmei must have had lumps in her heart towards Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan.

Zhou Bingyi understood that the relationship between him and Wang Zhong could never return to what it was six or nine years ago.

On the other side, Zheng Juan, who just came out of the optical film, was not in a good mood. Zhou Zhigang's condition was more serious than the last time she came here. Not only was her memory getting worse and worse, but also her cognition was far worse than before. Li Suhua He also said that during the past few nights, Zhou Zhigang had already begun to pee on the kang.It made Li Suhua smell like urine every morning when he woke up.

The first thing I did was to change the sheets, dry the quilt, and help Zhou Zhigang wash his pants.

After returning home, he told Wang Zhong the truth about Zhou Zhigang's situation, and suggested whether he should take Zhou Zhigang to Yanjing or Shanghai for a visit.

Wang Zhong said: "Didn't the experts invited by my sister-in-law say that the current medical methods can't help Alzheimer's? Although taking medicine can improve the old man's cognitive ability, it is limited, and the medicine is three-point poisonous. If you eat it for many years, there may be some side effects."

"Then what should we do now?" Zheng Juan was completely at a loss.

Wang Zhong said: "Let's hire a nanny. A nanny can help mom take care of the old man, so she can relax a bit."

"Help a nanny?" Zheng Juan had never thought about it that way, not because she was not filial, but because the word nanny has always been far away from Zheng Juan since she remembered.

"That's a good idea."

"You are already busy enough running between the company and the magazine every day. I have to take care of the restaurant and take care of the children every day. I really don't have time."

Zheng Juan has to cook breakfast and dinner for the children every day. Occasionally, the children study late, and there are supper and so on.

There is also the restaurant, which can bring tens of thousands of income to the family every month. After a year, it will be hundreds of thousands.

It’s only been 90 years now, and although ten thousand yuan households are not as rare as before, the annual income of hundreds of thousands is unimaginable to many people.

Let Zheng Juan leave aside hundreds of thousands of annual income to take care of Zhou Zhigang this time, not to mention Zheng Juan herself, even Li Suhua would not agree.

As for Zhou Rong and Zhou Bingyi, let alone take care of Zhou Zhigang around the clock.

Moreover, with Wang Zhong's temperament, he would definitely not agree to let Zheng Juan take care of Zhou Zhigang. After all, Zheng Juan is a woman, and although Zhou Zhigang is the father of this body, Wang Zhong who now occupies this body has nothing to do with Zhou Zhigang Feelings, let my daughter-in-law take care of a man.

How could Wang Zhong let this happen.

Relatively speaking, hiring a babysitter is much simpler.

"It's a good idea, but it's hard to hire a nanny!" Zheng Juan said, "My parents are getting older, so I need to find a young and strong nanny who can work hard."

"Isn't our mother watching? If we encounter someone who steals, rapes and cheats, let's replace them." Wang Zhong said: "With so many waiters in your store, don't you have seven aunts and eight aunts who don't have a job? of?"

"Hey! Why didn't I think of that." Zheng Juan's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea."

"I'll go to the store tomorrow and ask."

Wang Zhongdao: "Let them recommend themselves, find a time, let them bring someone to your store, let's interview in person, find someone who is honest, hardworking, and quick to work, and the most important thing is to find someone who can cook."

"In this way, our mother can save a lot of trouble." Zheng Juan said happily.

Don't look at Zheng Juan who is usually gentle and soft-spoken, but when it comes to serious business, she can act vigorously and resolutely.

It was arranged the next day.

Three days later, early in the morning, Wang Zhong was dragged by Zheng Juan to the restaurant.

The couple were screened in one round, and three were selected from more than 20 people.

There is not much difference in age between the three, the youngest is only 25 years old, and the oldest is 45 years old, but these three have a few common characteristics, first of all, they look decent, and second, they look honest and honest, and they often do things at home. The most important thing about rough work is that these three people are all from Jichun city, have a place to live, and have experience in taking care of the elderly.

"Why don't you choose this 45-year-old, although he is a bit older, but he is quite strong, and he looks like a quick worker. Maybe he can chat with our mother and relieve our mother's boredom." Zheng Juan suggested.

Wang Zhong shook his head, "Don't worry, let's see their family situation first."

Zheng Juan asked: "It also depends on their family situation?"

"Of course, just now we just had a preliminary understanding of their basic situation. If we recruit one, and she refuses to do it for a while because of something else, then we will have to make a fuss again."

"That's true." Zheng Juan nodded approvingly.

The first interviewee was the 45-year-old eldest sister, whose surname was Hu, and her name was Hu Meili.

"Hello boss, hello lady boss!" Sister Hu was a little nervous, holding hands, looking at the two of them cautiously.

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Sister Hu, don't be nervous, we just want to ask about your family situation, nothing else."

"Ask me about the situation at home? What does this have to do with me being a babysitter?" Xu Shi Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan looked very kind-hearted. Although the elder sister was a little nervous, she was not so unscrupulous.

Wang Zhong didn't answer, but asked directly: "It said that there are eight people in your family, eldest sister?"

"Yes, my old man and I, two sons, a daughter-in-law, a grandson, and a granddaughter make up a total of eight people."

"How is your old man?"

"He is in good health."

"What do your old man, your two sons, and your two daughters-in-law do?"

"My old man is a street sweeper. Both sons work in the timber factory. The eldest son is a material worker, and the youngest son is a salesman."

The timber factory is now on the verge of closing down, and the layoffs alone have been laid off several times.

Sister Hu's two sons also escaped the catastrophe because they were young, strong and willing to work hard.

But if the current situation continues, the two of them will lose their jobs sooner or later.

That's why Sister Hu thought about coming out to find a job at this time to increase income for the family and reduce the burden.

"The eldest daughter-in-law doesn't have a job, so she cooks at home and takes care of the children, while the younger daughter-in-law works here."

"Sister, the information says that you have experience in caring for the elderly, can you tell us more about it?"

"It's just to take care of my old man's mother. At the time, her mother had a stroke and was paralyzed. She lay on the kang for seven or eight years. I have always taken care of her..."

Both Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan were a little moved.

Paralyzed in bed for seven or eight years, the urine and urine must only be on the kang, and I have to clean it up.

But to be on the safe side, the couple still met the remaining two.

The second one was a 38-year-old woman, the same age as Wang Zhong, and the questions she asked were similar.

The last one was the 25-year-old girl.

"Hello boss, my name is Sun Xiaohong!" The girl was the most casual and polite, and bowed to Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan as soon as she entered the door.

"Sun Xiaohong, hello!"

"It says you're married?"

"We've been married for five years."

"How many children are there?"

"two!"

"So your two children are still young?" Zheng Juan frowned first.

After asking a few more random questions, Zheng Juan let Sun Xiaohong go out first.

The couple closed the door and discussed.

"I think the first Sister Hu is quite suitable." Zheng Juan was the first to express her opinion. She was more inclined to this Sister Hu.

Wang Zhongdao: "Since we both agree, let's fix Big Sister Hu!"

Sister Hu was very happy to learn that she was hired, and thanked Wang Zhong and Zheng Juan repeatedly.

Especially when she learned that she could earn 240 yuan a month, Ms. Hu was so happy that she almost went crazy. Her old man sweeps the streets, gets up early and works late every day, and only earns more than 100 yuan a month.

Almost didn't directly kowtow to Wang Zhong and his wife.

Wang Zhong also told Sister Hu about Zhou Zhigang's situation, and said that the job would not be easy. Sister Hu agreed without any hesitation, and signed a contract with Wang Zhong on the spot.

The next day, Zheng Juan drove Sister Hu back to the optical film.

"mom!"

"This is Sister Hu, the nanny that Bingkun and I hired to take care of you and Dad."

Li Suhua became anxious when she heard this, and dragged Zheng Juan to the side to complain in a low voice: "It's not that I can't work, I don't have to hire a nanny, why waste this money!"

"This is Bingkun's decision. As you know, Bingkun has always had the final say in our family. I dare not say anything about what he decides."

"This prodigal bastard!" Li Suhua was so angry that he scolded directly: "I don't know what my last name is if I make some money, and I don't know how to save it. I spend it indiscriminately."

Zheng Juan couldn't laugh or cry, "Mom! This person has been invited and the contract has been signed. If you send Sister Hu back this time, we will still pay her a month's salary."

"Ah?" Li Suhua was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zheng Juan in disbelief: "You have to pay even if you don't work?"

"No way, it's written in the contract." Zheng Juan looked helpless.

"Besides, Bingkun is worried about your health. You have to take care of Dad now, and there are so many housework to do. Bingkun is afraid that you will be exhausted."

"He still has a little bit of filial piety." Although Li Suhua was not forgiving in his mouth, he was happy in his heart.

Zheng Juan continued to persuade: "Besides, if you are really exhausted, you will be hospitalized at that time, and the treatment will cost no more than hiring a nanny. You don't feel bad."

"Hey!" Li Suhua sighed: "Okay, okay! Let's forget it this time, if there is such a thing next time, you should call me first and don't let that brat make up his own mind."

"Okay, okay!" Zheng Juan pursed her lips and chuckled lightly, holding Li Suhua's hand and repeatedly reassuring: "Next time, I will discuss it with you first, so that Bingkun won't make his own decisions."

Li Suhua glanced at Zheng Juan, then shook his head helplessly: "I don't know you yet, and I don't have an idea, I just know to listen to that brat."

"We must listen to what makes sense!" Zheng Juan said: "In the future, you will leave all the work outside the home to Sister Hu, and you can watch TV carefully, go out for a walk, and chat with Aunt Qiao to relieve boredom. "

"How can that be done!" Li Suhua said, "Although he is a nanny, we can't leave everything to him. What we can do, we should do it ourselves."

"Okay, you can figure it out yourself." Zheng Juan said.

"Your restaurant is closed today?" Seeing that Zheng Juan had no intention of leaving, Li Suhua immediately frowned.

"No!" Zheng Juan said, "It's the same if we go there later."

"That's okay, you are the boss, it's okay to walk away for a while, if you delay for a long time, what happens to the restaurant can be fixed!" After finishing speaking, Zheng Juan was driven out of the door involuntarily.

"Hurry up and go to the restaurant to watch." Everyone Hu looked at this scene, a little at a loss.

"All right, all right, I'll go right away, if you need anything, just call me."

Unable to hold back Li Suhua, Zheng Juan could only agree, explain a few words to Sister Hu, and then drove back to the restaurant.
