“This is Auntie Li. She comes from the rural district. She’s very diligent. Although she’s old, she has taken care of many children. Coincidentally, she has a patient at home who needs to be taken care of and can’t work long hours. It suits your requirements.”
Li An’an sized up the middle-aged woman in front of her. Her complexion was dark and ruddy, her body was muscular. She had a simple and honest smile. It was obvious that she worked on the farm all year round. This kind of person seemed honest and dutiful. Although she was a little older, there was no problem.
“Miss Li, hiring me can’t go wrong. Although I look a little old, I’ve taken care of my grandson and other children. I have experience.”
Li An’an nodded in agreement. She signed the contract and took the woman with her. Seeing that Auntie Li had yet to eat, she bought her a meal.
In the afternoon, Li An’an took her to the kindergarten to pick up the three children.
“Ah, these three children are so beautiful. This is the first time I’ve seen such beautiful children. They’re triplets, right?”
Li An’an nodded.
“Yes. Children, this is our newly-hired nanny. When Mommy isn’t around, she’s in charge of taking care of you. You can call her Granny Li.”
Although the three children were reluctant, they greeted her politely, “Hello, Granny Li.”
Auntie Li looked somewhat disgruntled. She hesitated for a moment before saying.
“Miss Li, you didn’t mention that I had to take care of the three children. In this case, the price we agreed on is a little low. Please consider increasing your offer?”
Li An’an looked at the three children and agreed.
Auntie Li added, “In this case, don’t tell the company about the money. Just pay me directly. It’s not that I’m greedy, but you know that there are many expenses in my household because of a sick family member. If you pay me through the company, I end up getting paid very little. I thank you for understanding. Things are not easy for me.
She wiped her eyes with the corner of her shirt.
Li An’an looked at her and couldn’t help being reminded of herself. Her heart softened. “Alright, as long as you take good care of the three children, I’ll give you a raise at the end of the month. Don’t worry, they’re very obedient kids.”
“Sure, sure, sure.” Auntie Li promised, “I don’t have any other hobbies, I simply like children. The moment I saw these kids, I was smitten.”
Li An’an brought Auntie Li home. The moment she pushed the door open. Auntie Li looked at the small space and pouted.
“Miss Li, is this where you live? This house is too small. This unit must have 2 bedrooms and two living areas, right? What about my room?”
Li An’an replied, “You don’t have to stay at night when I’m around. If I’m not around, you may sleep in my room.”
“Okay then.”
Li An’an had been busy the entire day, and she was a little tired from not having rested well last night. She lay down on the sofa, Auntie Li diligently went to cook. Soon, the table was filled with a spread of dishes.
As it was Auntie Li’s first time here, Li An’an bought a lot of vegetables today. She didn’t expect Auntie Li to be so good at cooking. The home-cooked dishes were delicious.
“Miss Li, you didn’t sleep well last night, right? You look very tired. Hurry up and eat. Go to your room to sleep later. I’ll help you take care of the three children. ”
Auntie Li was experienced. One look at the marks on Li An’an’s neck and she knew what the woman had been up to last night. She thought about how Li An’an had to raise the three children alone and understood at once.
Exhausted, Li An’an got up from the sofa. Baobao had been pestering for a chat with her just then, she did not get much sleep at all.
“Yes, I may have to go out in the evening. Help me look after the kids.” Auntie Li agreed readily.
Li An’an ate with the three children. Fortunately, the three children enjoyed eating, and Auntie Li’s dishes were delicious.
After dinner, Auntie Li quickly cleared the table and did the dishes. She also prepared some fruits to coax the three children..
