Zheng Xiumin is 58 years old, has a pension of 2,300, and earns 8,000 a month as a nanny.
She takes care of her two children, sister Xiaoxi, and younger brother Xiaochen, the two children are a little bit untalkative, but they are very polite and get along with her very happily.
On this day, she made wontons for breakfast, Xiaochen was very happy, and said with some excitement: Aunt Zheng, your wonton buns are so delicious, they are the same as my mother's.
After saying that, he seemed to think of his mother again, and his mood couldn't help but drop.
Xiaoxi said: Eat quickly, otherwise you will be late for school.
Although the two children didn't talk again, they both finished a big bowl, and Zheng Xiumin knew that they really liked it.
Seeing that the two of them were going out, Zheng Xiumin said: Xiaoxi, you go to school by yourself, and I will send Xiaochen in the future, so that you don't have to go around one more circle.
Xiao Xi was a little hesitant, Xiao Chen said: Okay, then I can sleep for ten more minutes, every time I arrive in the class, I am the earliest, I don't want to be like this, they all say that I deliberately love to behave.
Xiaoxi thought for a while and said: Aunt Zheng, it's hard for you, I will tell my dad and ask him to give you a salary increase.
Zheng Xiumin smiled and said: No, such a little thing ** needs to increase salary, your father gives me 8000 a month, which is already very high.
She said again: Xiaoxi, you go home directly after school in the evening, I bought vegetables and went to pick up Xiaochen by the way.
Xiaoxi has red eyes, she is very grateful to Xiumin, it has been 3 years since her mother died, and she has always been the one who picks up her younger brother, every time she arrives at the class the latest, and she runs the fastest after school, she is actually very tired.
Xiumin looked at her and was also a little sad, saying that children without mothers are like grass, these two children don't like to talk so much, or because they don't have a mother and their father is not there, they have a lot of bitterness in their hearts.
She thought that even if she looked at the salary of 8,000, she would take care of her two children with all her heart, hoping that they could be more cheerful, like the other children.
After sending Xiaochen to school, she talked to the teacher again, and also asked Xiaochen about the situation, the teacher sighed and said: Learning is very good, and he is not naughty, but he is not social, and he does not like to participate in group activities.
Zheng Xiumin sighed, she couldn't do anything about this, she could only take her time, maybe the child would be much better when she was older.
She cleans at home on this day, she likes to wipe everything clean, although this is not her home, but she feels that life here is very good.
At noon, the two children were eating at school, and she made a bowl of mixed sauce noodles by herself, brushing ** while eating, some of which were very funny**, which made her laugh.
There was a **, she felt that she didn't know it, thinking that it might be the kind of sales, and hung up without hesitation.
But within two minutes, ** called in again, and a man asked coldly: Are you Zheng Xiumin?
She asked, somewhat strangely: Who are you? Do I know you? What are you looking for from me?
Man: I am Qian Ming's son Qian Yuzhe, he can't move now for surgery, you and he are both licensed and married, why didn't you take care of him?
Xiumin now understood, it turned out to be Lao Qian's son, hearing his words, she felt a little ridiculous, and said: He gave birth to me, or raised me, why should I take care of him, he married me just to find a free nanny, and I want to support myself and pay the rent by myself, but you tell me, why should I take care of him?
Qian Yuzhe said with some embarrassment: I don't know about your affairs, but now that my father is hospitalized, you, as his legal wife, have the obligation to take care of him.
Zheng Xiumin: Oh, I'm sorry, you told your dad that I can't afford the rent and living expenses, and I need to work to earn money, and I really can't help it, I'm really embarrassed.
By the way, you are his son, do you want to take care of him personally, or ask a nurse, please do whatever, but don't call me again.
Qian Yuzhe said coldly: If you insist on doing this, then I will go to the court to sue you to see if you have the obligation to take care of you.
Zheng Xiumin: Go ahead, I'll wait, I also want to hear the court's verdict.
By the way, if your dad is willing to divorce, please tell me in time, anyway, whether he divorces or not, I will not have a little relationship with him in the future.
Hung up**, she shook her head, feeling that she was really lucky to escape from the fire pit, otherwise she wouldn't know how to live in the future.
She rested for a while, washed the clothes of the two children, looked at the time, and planned to go grocery shopping, and then go to the school gate to wait for Xiaochen.
Thinking that the two children like to eat hot pot, she plans to buy more dishes tonight, especially the mille-feuille belly, squid, seed shrimp, yellow throat, etc., which they like, so that they can enjoy eating.
Xiaoxi's father gives 5,000 living expenses every month, and she will try her best to satisfy whatever they want to eat, which makes the two children very satisfied.
After buying the vegetables, she walked to the stool not far from the school gate and sat down, Xiaoxi's father called them every night, and I heard that she was picking up Xiaochen and wanted to add 1,000 yuan to her every month, she refused.
Now she has a melancholy thing, it is Xiaoxi's father who asked her to learn a driver's license, and he will give her the registration fee.
She also understands that Xiaoxi is going to high school next year, and with her grades, she can be admitted to a particularly good key high school, but the school is far away from home, and her father doesn't want her to live on campus.
Chen Hao said: Sister Zheng, I know this is a bit difficult for you, but for the sake of the two children, help, when you get your driver's license, I will buy a scooter, you help me pick up and drop off the two children, and I will add 2000 to you every month.
Sister Zheng, both children like you very much, so you can agree.
Zheng Xiumin was a little scared, she was 58 years old, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to learn, she had already inquired, and said that the instructors of the driving school were very fierce, and the last thing they liked was an older female student like her.
Zheng Xiumin couldn't help but sigh again, she didn't want Xiaoxi to live in school, this child was very sensitive, she was afraid that she would not adapt to living in school, and she was afraid that the child would be wronged.
But it's really hard to learn a driver's license, and she doesn't have confidence in herself at all.
After school, she stood up and waited for Xiao Chen, and on the way Xiao Chen asked: Aunt Zheng, what's wrong with you? What do I think of your frowning?
He saw that she was carrying several bags and said, "Aunt Zheng, are these things too heavy, come, I'll help you carry them."
After speaking, he insisted on taking two from her hand, Xiumin touched his head and said: Xiaochen is so good, Aunt Zheng doesn't think these things are heavy, but I am a little afraid and dare not learn a driver's license, Aunt Zheng is not very useless.
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said: Aunt Zheng, don't be afraid, as long as you go to learn, you will find that it is not that difficult.
I'll tell you secretly, I thought math was too difficult, I didn't want to listen to it in class, and I didn't want to write math homework when I got home, but I just didn't think I could do it anyway.
But later, our math teacher told me that as long as I started learning little by little, I would find that I was very good at math and that math was not difficult at all.
I didn't believe it at first, so the teacher gave me a make-up lesson at noon every day, and after a few days, I felt that what the teacher said was right, not that mathematics itself is difficult, but that I found it difficult.
Zheng Xiumin said in surprise: Xiaochen, you are only 12 years old, you understand such a deep truth, and it is too powerful.
Xiao Chen smiled shyly and said, "Aunt Zheng, this thing is true, so I will understand."
Zhang Xiumin said: Okay, then I'll listen to Xiaochen, I'll sign up tomorrow and start learning a driver's license.
Xiaochen: Okay, when Aunt Zheng learns it, during the holidays, we will go to the suburbs to play, we can fish over there, and we can grill fish directly there.
When the two got home, Zheng Xiumin asked Xiaochen to do her homework, but he had to help her, and the two were busy in the kitchen while chatting.
Xiaoxi came back, and Xiaochen said excitedly: Sister, Aunt Zheng is going to sign up tomorrow, she promised to learn a driver's license, and then she can pick you up from school, so that I can see you every night.
Xiaoxi said in surprise: Aunt Zheng, really? That's great, I'll call my dad ** and ask him to give you the transfer fee.
When the three of them were eating hot pot, Xiaoxi said: Aunt Zheng, my dad is very happy, he transferred 5,000 yuan to you, in addition to the registration fee, let you buy a few packs of cigarettes, every time you go to practice, give it to the coach, he will have a better attitude.
Zheng Xiumin said: Well, Aunt Zheng knows, what your father said is a good method, but I am a little embarrassed to use his money.
Xiaoxi: Aunt Zheng, this is how it should be, if it weren't for me and Xiaochen, you wouldn't have thought about learning a driver's license, then giving you these fees is what my dad should do.
Xiaochen: Yes, Aunt Zheng, don't be polite to us, I'm still waiting for you to take me to fish and barbecue.
Zheng Xiumin felt that these two children were very sensible, and now they are slowly becoming cheerful, and they have a sense of accomplishment.
The next morning, she went to register, the registration fee was 3600, and the coach asked her to study the content of subject 1 first, and then start to practice subject 2 after passing the subject 1 exam.
When she got home, she cleaned up quickly, and then took her mobile phone to brush up on the questions carefully.
Time flies quickly, after she answered the questions over and over again, she finally had a little confidence, made an appointment for subject one, and with the encouragement of the two children, she went to the exam with high spirits, and passed with a high score the first time, she felt that what Xiaochen said that day was too right.
When she started to get in the car to practice subject 2, she took two packs of cigarettes and quietly gave them to the coach, and said embarrassedly: Coach Yang, I'm a bit stupid, please bear with me.
The coach took the cigarette, her attitude was much better, she explained it very carefully, and she drove nervously around the driving range several times.
When she got home, she was a little tired, she felt too nervous when she practiced just now, and she still feels stiff all over her body.
At this moment, ** rang, she picked it up and took a look, it turned out to be her daughter-in-law Sisi, she was afraid that something would happen, so she quickly connected, and heard Sisi say: Mom, I heard that you went to be a nanny, how are you now?
Zheng Xiumin is a little strange, after she moved out of her son's house, they hardly contacted her, two years ago, Sisi said that their family was going to her mother's house, she didn't say anything, Chinese New Year's Eve was also herself.
Now how did she know that she was a babysitter, and she said, "Oh, who told you this, what are you looking for me?"
Sisi smiled and said: Mom, look at what you said, we are a family, and I still have to have something to find you.
Mom, I heard from my neighbor, she said she heard her cousin, anyway, most people should know about it now.
Xiumin thought about it, the neighbor Sisi said should be a cousin of Sister Zhao, so this matter is not unusual, after all, she didn't tell Sister Zhao not to tell others about her.
Xiumin: Oh yes, I'm working as a nanny now, taking care of two children.
Sisi: Mom, you are so good, I think you have absolutely no problem being a nanny, and the two children in the family still talk to you every day, saying that your cooking is better than mine.
Xiumin was a little helpless, she said: Sisi, what about words, the children are all right.
Sisi sighed and said: Hey, Mom, we are not doing well, Yanyan wants to let Tongtong transfer to a bilingual private kindergarten, but the annual tuition fee is too high.
Zhenzhen is now in elementary school, she wants to learn the piano, but her family can't afford it, and the cost of learning the piano is also very high.
Mom, you see you have a monthly pension, and now you earn money as a nanny, and I heard that you earn 8,000 a month, which is more than I earn.
Mom, Zhenzhen and Tong Tong are your granddaughters and grandsons, and now they need money, you have to help us.
Mom, I know it's not easy for you, I don't want much, you don't give me 5000.
Xiumin couldn't help but shake her head, she felt that there was nothing good, it turned out that she had taken a fancy to her money.
She said, "Oh, I'm sorry, Sisi, I'm going to save up to buy myself a small house, otherwise I won't have a place to live when I can't do it."
Sisi's tone was a little unhappy, and said: Mom, how can you be like this, is your business important, or the education of the two children is important.
Mom, you brought them up, you really don't care about them, Mom, which old man doesn't think about his children now, you can't be too selfish.
Xiumin: Hehe, Sisi, you still remember that I brought up the two children, so why don't you remember when you drove me out?
Forget it, these are all in the past, and I don't want to mention it anymore, I'll hang up if it's okay.
Sisi said angrily: Mom, I'll say it again, you'd better give me 5,000 a month, otherwise I'll divorce Yanyan, and you can do it yourself.
Xiumin: Well, you're right, it has nothing to do with me whether you want a divorce or not, you can do it yourself, but I won't give you the money.
Sisi, I know the two of you very well, and I don't have any expectations anymore, you are really unprofitable, no wonder you call me **.
Sisi: Mom, you are really too much, Yanyan is your own son, you don't care about him at all, you are not afraid that no one will care about you when you are old.
Mom, you have to think clearly, even if you have the money to live in a nursing home, but no one visits you often, you don't want to have a good life.
Xiumin was also a little sad, and said: Well, I know, one day at a time, I really can't move one day, it's not easy to live and it's not dead, it's okay.
Hung up**, Xiumin was a little lost, the words she just said actually made her feel a little heartbroken, after all, it was her own son, her granddaughter and grandson, how could she not worry about it.
After pouring a cup of tea, she sat down on the bay window by the balcony and looked out in a lonely mood.
It was quiet downstairs, the kids were going to school, and there were only two old people playing chess in the small park downstairs.
She took a sip of tea, but tears welled up in her eyes, she thought that she would never recall those things again, but today, the slightest **, made her fall into memories without warning.
When Yan Yan's father died, he had just graduated from college, and he originally wanted to concentrate on reviewing and concentrating on taking the civil service exam, but after his father died, Yan Yan was like a different person, completely different from the original.
He started playing cards, drinking, and was away from home all day, Xiumin was very anxious, but no matter how she persuaded him, he was still like that, drunk all day long.
Then one day, the mother and son quarreled, slammed the door and left.
After that day, she couldn't make sense of the **, and she couldn't find anyone in the places he frequented, Xiumin was very desperate, she went to the streets and alleys to find him every day in addition to work.
Later, she thought of calling the police, but the police easily got through to his **, he just said coldly that he was living well outside, but he didn't want to go home.
That day at the police station, she was sad and embarrassed when she heard the words coming out of her mobile phone hands-free and looked at the strange eyes of the police.
But she was also relieved, as long as her words were good, she had no other way to control him.
Thinking that no matter what, Yanyan is a college student, maybe he has figured it out and found a job to live a down-to-earth life.
Three years later, Yanyan came back with Sisi, who was already 6 months pregnant and unconsciously holding her belly.
She was very happy to see that her son was back, and thought about giving them a marriage as soon as possible.
Yan Yan said: Mom, there is no need for the bride price, Sisi has already discussed it with her family, but we must have a big house when we get married, otherwise the child will be born and the family will not be able to live in it.
Zheng Xiumin looked at her two-bedroom apartment, a little embarrassed, she had saved some money for her son, but it was not enough to buy a house, and it was okay to pay a down payment.
She said: Yanyan, your father's social security and other withdrawals, plus the money we saved for you, almost 800,000, I will give it to you, you buy a house with a down payment, and then a wedding should be enough.
Sisi frowned and said: No, my family doesn't ask for a bride price, so the house can't have a loan, it must be bought in full, otherwise neither of us has a formal job, and the child is born in the future, how to support it?
Yan Yan was silent for a while, and said: Mom, sell this house at home, let's buy a big one, and live together when the time comes, you are also retired, and you can help take care of the children.
Seeing Xiumin was not very happy, Yan Yan frowned and said: Mom, I applied for the teacher exam, I need to go all out, you can't watch me go out to drink again.
Xiumin was a little helpless, she was reluctant to live in the house she lived, she didn't think that one day she would not be able to live in it, she was just reluctant.
But looking at her son's appearance, she remembered his decadence during that time, and she didn't dare to take risks, so she could only agree to sell her house.
The house was sold for 960,000 yuan, plus the original 800,000 yuan, she gave it to Yanyan, and he bought a hardcover house of 140 square meters, which can be moved in directly.
Looking at her room, Xiumin likes it very much, the location in this community is very good, the surrounding facilities are complete, she thinks there is nothing wrong with selling the old house.
The daughter-in-law gave birth to her granddaughter Zhenzhen, who had just finished her retirement and began to serve Sisi in confinement and take care of the child.
Yanyan also did what he said, studied late at night every day, and finally got admitted to the teacher as she wished, the school was a little far away from home, she made up another 20,000 yuan for him and bought a scooter, so that she really didn't have a penny in her hand.
After the child reached 6 months, Sisi insisted on weaning, she went out to find a job, and shouted every day that the family's money was not enough, and asked Xiumin to take the money out.
But after she completed the retirement procedures, when the pension was issued, it was only 2050 per month, and she could only spend it at home, otherwise Sisi would point at Sang and scold Huai all day long, and she would be silent every time.
In this way, she lived in her son's house for more than 6 years, bringing up her granddaughter and grandson, but after her grandson was sent to kindergarten, Sisi said: Mom, the two children are older, the family expenses are too big, plus you, Yanyan and I are too laborious.
Xiumin was a little surprised, her monthly pension was spent at home, picking up and dropping off two children every day, cooking, washing clothes, and cleaning at home, which was more tiring than going to work.
But what does it mean now? She looked at her puzzled, and said impatiently: Mom, you have just turned 56 years old, it is not suitable to care for the elderly at home, my mother is older than you, and she still goes to work in the supermarket.
Mom, I've had a nervous breakdown lately, and I can't stand it at all because there are many people in my family.
Xiumin muttered: Are you trying to let me go? But if I don't have a house, where do I live?
Sisi: Oh, Mom, you have a pension, you can rent a house to live in, you don't have to be so tired, you can just enjoy the happiness.
She looked at her son at the time and said, "Yanyan, do you want me to go?" Is it because the two children are older and don't need me anymore, and they think I'm a burden and a waste?
Yan Yan frowned, looked at her and said: Mom, we are also for your good, and we don't want you to be so tired.
She looked at her son and daughter-in-law, her heart was cold, she understood that they didn't need her anymore, she was very angry and cold, but in the end she packed up two clothes and moved away.
Thinking of this, Xiumin wiped the tears she didn't know when, she sniffed, knowing that no matter what Sisi said, she wouldn't care anymore, she just had to live her life.
Looking at the time, she was going out to buy groceries and pick up her children, this is the life she wanted to live, she wanted to wait for her driver's license to take her two children on an outing barbecue.
Write at the end:Xiumin is kind enough to get along well with her two children, and she is also pitiful, giving everything for her son, but in the end she can only leave home and rent a house to live alone.
She did the right thing, she has already experienced it once, and she knows what kind of person her son is, so she should no longer compromise and indulge, but think more about herself and leave a way back for herself.
Xiumin did the right thing, what do you think, welcome to comment!
