66 Simpleton
The next morning, at around eight o ‘clock, a faint knocking sounded from Qu Zhi’s door.
It was very light, and it sounded very polite.
As soon as Qu Zhi opened the door, an unfamiliar middle-aged woman stood in front of her, holding a cloth bag the size of a watermelon. She greeted her with a smile, “Hello, Miss Qu. I’m Liu Hui, an employee of Deguang Housekeeping Company. ”
Of course, Qu Zhi knew who she was. This nanny was very easy to recognize and gave off a sense of familiarity. Or in the words of her hometown, she had a “kind grandma look”.
Liu Hui looked very kind. She was not tall and was very thin. She had short, fluffy gray hair and curved eyebrows. Her gaze was very gentle and did not look fierce at all. In all aspects, she was not like Huang Qing.
Sisi had already woken up.
Recently, Sisi started to learn how to crawl. Although her two little arms were not very strong, she was very fast. Qu Zhi was afraid that she would fall and hurt herself, so she simply used a plastic jigsaw puzzle and a small blanket to cover a small area on the ground for her to move around. She could do whatever she wanted in this area.
When Sisi saw Liu Hui, she wasn’t afraid at all. Instead, she even reached out for a hug.
Liu Hui carried her gently and shook her in her arms.
Everything happened so naturally as if the two of them had known each other for a long time. Qu Zhi was dumbfounded. Although Sisi was obedient, she was still very picky about the person who carried her. Normally, even if Liang Wen carried her, Sisi would pout and resist for a while.
Qu Zhi didn’t go to work today because she had specially made time for the nanny. Sister Song was also free on this day, so she applied for leave early to help Qu Zhi check out the housekeeper.
The old and young pair were so harmonious that even Qu Zhi felt slightly awkward.
Not long after, Sister Song also came over. She came in a hurry and knocked on the door loudly.
Liu Hui and Sisi were having so much fun that they almost forgot about Qu Zhi, but she didn’t fail to open the door. She gently rubbed Sisi’s forehead. “Wait for Grandma. Grandma will open the door!”
This sentence really poked Qu Zhi.
Grandma.
She recalled that Liu Hui gave her a sense of closeness. It was the kind that her grandmother had given her-simple and with an absolute sense of security. When she was a child at home, it was not rare for Huang Qing to hit her. Not to mention the moral kidnapping that had accompanied her for most of her life.
Only when her grandmother was around, no matter how old Qu Zhi was, could she act like a spoiled child.
Qu Zhi felt touched, and tears began to well up in her eyes.
Sister Song did not stand on ceremony at all when she arrived. When she saw there was no water on the coffee table, she started ordering Liu Hui around. “Why is there no water to drink?”
Liu Hui did not get angry and went to get her some water.
Sister Song sat down beside Qu Zhi. “Hey, what do you think?” she turned to look at Liu Hui. “Don’t be too nice to her. She’ll think you’re easy to bully, and take advantage of you!”
Qu Zhi shook her head with a smile.
Other than the risks in this area, Liu Hui was doing pretty well. Qu Zhi was very satisfied. Although you can’t judge a book by its cover, Qu Zhi felt they were really fated to meet. If the child were happy, she would be satisfied.
Two glasses of warm water were gently placed in front of Qu Zhi and Sister Song. Liu Hui smiled. “Here’s the water.”
Her smile made Qu Zhi even more dizzy. She hurriedly nodded her head and took a cup of water to her mouth.
“Ah, you’re so thirsty. If I had known, I would have boiled some water earlier.” Liu Hui felt a little guilty when she saw Qu Zhi’s anxiety.
“I’m fine, I’m fine.” Qu Zhi waved at her. “Go and look after Sisi.”
As soon as Liu Hui left, Sister Song could not help but move closer to her ear. “Look, this old lady is so scheming. If you don’t shout, she will not pour some water. Look…”
Qu Zhi originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she agreed. She couldn’t be fooled by appearances. There were many people who played well with children, and looked honest, but did dirty things.
However, after a day, the two of them were truly convinced.
She cleaned up the entire house, and even some of the dirt that had been there for years had been shoveled away. Sister Song was excited. She wanted to go to the Deguang Housekeeping Company to find a cleaner one day.
Liu Hui was really suitable to be a nanny. She couldn’t find a single fault. Both the adults and the children liked the work she did.
Qu Zhi’s anxious heart also relaxed. She initially thought it would take a lot of time and effort to find a good nanny, but she did not expect that in just one day, she and Sisi would be captured by this sincere and gentle woman.
