She looked at the middle-aged woman standing in front of her who was dressed in simple and old-fashioned clothes, with a low ponytail and a migrant worker nylon bag in her hand, and wondered, "Who are you?"
Old Mrs. Tang didn't even recognize her. Li Qiumei suddenly became anxious. She ran two steps forward and arrived in front of the old lady. She looked at her and said eagerly, "Aunt Tang, you don't know me."
Are you there? I am Xiao Li, Li Qiumei. Twenty years ago, I worked as a nanny in the Tang family. At that time, you were in poor health. My uncle Tang specially found me from the labor market and asked me to come.
I work as a nanny at home, and I have been working for the Tang family for more than a year."
"Li Qiumei?" Apparently too much time had passed, and Mrs. Tang's memory was a little blurry. She looked at Li Qiumei, put a hand on her temple, and pondered for a while before she suddenly answered.
He came to his senses and said, "I remember, I broke my leg. I couldn't cook or take care of the rest of the family, so the old man found a nanny. Later, you said you were pregnant and quit your job.
Yes or no?"
Finally recognizing her, Li Qiumei was moved to tears and nodded her head, "Yes, yes, yes, Aunt Tang, you finally remembered me."
"Xiao Li, why are you here?" Mrs. Tang looked at her and asked.
When Li Qiumei heard the old lady's question, her expression suddenly turned gloomy and her voice was sad, "To be honest with you, Aunt Tang, the harvest in my hometown has not been good in the past two years, and the shopkeeper is a
I have no skills. Seeing that my son and daughter have grown up, and life at home is tight, I wonder if I can find a job..."
After hearing what Li Qiumei said, Mrs. Tang sighed, "Oh, it's really difficult for you. It's hard enough to support a family with only one woman. Find a job in the city and earn some money."
"
"Yes, now that the policy has been improved, it is easier to enter the city." Li Qiumei said, looking at the old lady expectantly, "So, Aunt Tang, I have no choice but to come and join you.
Is it done?”
Surrender to her?
Mrs. Tang looked embarrassed, "Xiao Li, this..."
Aunt Wang followed behind. When she heard Li Qiumei's words, her face wrinkled and her eyes were cold.
Sure enough, he came to compete with her for his job.
"Ahem." Aunt Wang coughed twice and walked over to make her presence felt.
"Xiao Li, I sympathize with your situation, but there is already a nanny at home." Mrs. Tang's wrinkled cheeks were troubled, she raised her chin and pointed at the woman walking over, "
No, there is a little king here."
There is a nanny at home and I don’t want to keep her...
Li Qiumei didn't want to give up just like that, so she squatted in front of the old lady and began to say, "Aunt Tang, I really have no choice, so I came to join you. I haven't been to the city for so many years.
The city has changed so much that I don’t know where to look for a job. I know you from Bincheng. You see, back then I worked diligently and honestly, and I even saved the life of Young Master Jiang Sen.
For my sake, please take me in."
When her nephew Jiang Sen was mentioned, Mrs. Tang's expression changed slightly.
The face has gone through many vicissitudes of life, and the emotions are complex and difficult to describe.
Indeed, Li Qiumei saved Jiang Sen back then.
But after so many years, the old lady is no longer the old lady who was pampered by a bunch of boys and old men.
She thought for a moment, looked at Li Qiumei, and reluctantly took her in temporarily, "Since you have nowhere to go, then stay with Xiao Wang first. When Jianye and the others come back, I will
Discuss it with them."
Li Qiumei nodded happily, "Thank you, Aunt Tang."
One family is happy and the other is worried.
Aunt Wang pulled a face and walked over, "Old lady, my house cannot accommodate two people."
The nanny at home repeatedly disobeyed her, and Mrs. Tang looked unhappy and spoke in a dignified tone, "Why can't we live in her house? It's a woman's house, so there's no inconvenience. Let's squeeze in first."
The old lady's tone was strong and there were signs of anger. Aunt Wang did not dare to refute, so she could only take Li Qiumei to her room.
Li Qiumei said that she didn't expect that she was so lucky and was taken in by Mrs. Tang so easily.
However, the old lady said that she had to discuss with her son and daughter-in-law before she could stay.
There is already a nanny at home, so she might be a little worried.
Li Qiumei followed Aunt Wang into the room, put the nylon bag on the ground, and began to think about it.
Aunt Wang closed the door vigorously, looked at Li Qiumei with disdain, and warned her, "I'm telling you, I did a good job in the Tang family. Don't think that the old lady is taking you in.
You can stay here, you’d better look for work elsewhere, and don’t try to steal a job from me.”
Li Qiumei was panicking, but she didn't show it on her face, "Who robbed you? I used to work in the Tang family. Aunt Tang used to like me very much. I even saved her nephew's life."
After all, I am still a great benefactor of the Tang family."
Is Li Qiumei trying to repay a favor?
Aunt Wang was also panicked.
However, she only panicked for a short while and then calmed down.
The Tang family is not the Tang family of the old lady alone.
Sister Yun's family all likes the food she cooks, and everyone regards her as one of their own. Miss Jingyue and the young master are also very close to her.
Aunt Wang decided to do her own job first.
Just do it, Aunt Wang immediately left the room, rolled up her sleeves, and started wiping the table and mopping the floor, sweeping the spotless living room again.
When Li Qiumei saw Aunt Wang starting to express herself, she went to reminisce and chat with Mrs. Tang.
"Aunt Tang, how have you been in health these past few years?" Li Qiumei squatted in front of her and asked with concern.
The old lady patted her leg and said, "Other parts of my body are fine. It's just this leg that was injured before. When it's cloudy and rainy, it hurts and becomes stiff, making it difficult to walk."
Li Qiumei held her hand and said sincerely, "Aunt Tang, you must take care of yourself. You have to wait for Master Jiang Sen to come back."
Mentioning her favorite nephew Jiang Sen, the old lady looked sad and sighed, "Xiao Li, if I hadn't been waiting for him all these years, I would have swallowed my breath long ago."
Li Qiumei hurriedly comforted her, "Aunt Tang, look at you, your family's conditions are so good, and society has developed so well. Now is the time to enjoy happiness, so don't think too much."
The old lady had a straight face and snorted coldly, "Enjoying happiness? Huh, they are busy all day long. As an old lady, I am with this kitten all day long. What enjoyment do I have?"
Li Qiumei rolled her eyes and knew how to please the old lady. "From now on, if I talk to you more, you will feel better. I have missed you all these years. I often dream about you."
Back in the days when I was working in the Tang family, I dreamed of everyone in the family. Aunt Tang, I traveled thousands of miles to come to you. Not only for my livelihood, but more importantly, I wanted you so much.
I miss you. I also want to see if Master Jiang Sen is back. When I was in the countryside, I often went to the temple to burn incense and pray for you and Master Jiang Sen. I asked Bodhisattva to bless you all.
