Bai Nuo sat down in the wheelchair again and slid the wheels on both sides. "These wheels can also slide by themselves." The man's craftsmanship was truly remarkable. The wheelchair he made was actually very flexible, without any stiffness. It's a pity that electric wheelchairs can't be made here. If there were electric ones, it would be even more convenient for Grandma.
After the demonstration, Bai Nuo continued, "Today is your first day at our house. I've already told you about your wages. You'll be responsible for taking care of my grandma, cooking a meal for her and us, and doing some housework. Oh, right, you'll also be responsible for washing grandma's clothes. We'll wash my and my brother's clothes ourselves."
Bai Nuo doesn't have to do things like watering vegetables or feeding fish; she can do all those things herself.
“There’s a fishpond not far from our home, and vegetables are grown around it, but we don’t have any to eat yet. Don’t worry, I usually buy all the vegetables before I go out.”
Aunt Liu nodded again.
"Let me take you to see my grandma first!" Bai Nuo said. She had found someone to take care of her grandma, so she had to greet her first. Otherwise, if someone suddenly appeared in front of her, it would definitely frighten her.
"Your family is so nice!" Bai Nuo led Aunt Liu toward the old lady's room. Aunt Liu had been looking around at the Bai family's situation, and after seeing that the Bai family had several rooms, Aunt Liu suddenly said enviously.
Bai Nuo didn't turn her head, but simply pointed to the old woman's door, "That's my old woman's room up ahead. You'll live with her from now on—if she's willing to let you stay!"
"Grandma," Bai Nuo called out as she walked to the door, then pushed it open and said to Aunt Liu, "Come in with me."
Grandma was still lying in bed. Bai Nuo went over and touched Grandma's forehead, neck, and back. Seeing that Grandma wasn't sweating much, he felt relieved. He wrung out a wet towel and wiped Grandma's back and face before helping her turn over. Then he told Grandma who Aunt Liu was.
"Grandma, I've found someone to take care of you!" Bai Nuo pointed to Granny Liu, who quickly curtsied and greeted her, "Madam."
The old woman frowned at the awkward way she addressed Bai Nuo, and looked at her with a hint of grievance, saying, "Don't you want Grandma anymore? Are you going to abandon Grandma to someone else?"
"Grandma, it's not that I don't want you! It's precisely because I want you that I found someone to take care of you!" Bai Nuo looked at the old woman, who was like a child, with amusement. People say that old people are like children, and that's really true. Once people get old, they become more and more like little children. "Ayu and I don't have much strength, so it takes two of us to carry you. But this old lady is different. She's very strong and can take you out to get some sun and stuff!"
"I'm not a cripple!" the old woman pouted. "I don't need anyone to take care of me."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Bai Nuo echoed her grandmother's words, gently coaxing her, "But you know you're sick now. Before you get better, don't you need someone to take good care of you so that you can recover faster? Grandma, I also want to stay with you every day, but I have to go out to earn money. If I stay at home, A Yu won't have anything to eat. Can you bear to see A Yu go hungry?"
"I'm afraid she'll abuse me!" the old woman suddenly said in a low voice. After what happened with Chen Qiuling, the old woman had become very wary of others.
"Don't worry, if she treats you badly, just tell me and I'll deal with her!" Bai Nuo said softly.
Seeing that the old woman had stopped talking, Bai Nuo smiled, then ran out again and helped A Yu carry the wheelchair in. She patted the wheelchair and said, "Grandma, you won't have to lie in bed so uncomfortable anymore. This chair is called a wheelchair. It can let you go out to bask in the sun or go for a walk!"
The old woman's eyes lit up.
After introducing the wheelchair with a smile, Bai Nuo said to Aunt Liu, "Auntie, come and help my grandma to the chair!"
Aunt Liu, who had been standing to the side, quickly came over when she heard Bai Nuo's words and said softly to the old lady, "Madam, let me help you to the wheelchair."
"No need to call me Madam, just call me Auntie!" the old woman said calmly. She had been a country person all her life, and now that she was suddenly being called Madam, she wasn't used to it.
"Oh!" Aunt Liu readily changed her tune, pushed away the thin blanket covering the old woman, and said to her, "Auntie, I'm going to pick you up now. Don't be afraid, you won't get hurt."
Bai Nuo stood aside and watched.
With one arm around the old woman's shoulder and the other around her leg, Aunt Liu easily lifted her up in a princess carry, while the old woman clung tightly to Aunt Liu's neck.
After getting into the wheelchair, the old woman looked back at Bai Nuo, who asked her with her eyes, "So? Are you satisfied with this person?"
The old woman also blinked.
Aunt Liu is really strong. When she was carrying the old woman out of the room, Bai Nuo offered to help her with A Yu, but Aunt Liu refused. She carried the wheelchair and the old woman out by herself.
"Auntie, come here for a moment!" Bai Nuo handed the old woman over to A Yu and called Aunt Liu aside. "We are all quite satisfied with you, but we have a three-day trial period. You can come and adapt for three days. If you feel it's suitable, you can stay and work. We will sign a contract with you. If you feel it's not suitable during these three days, you can leave at any time, and I will pay you for three days."
Aunt Liu nodded.
"Alright, it's almost noon. Go cook. The kitchen is over there," Bai Nuo said.
While Aunt Liu was cooking, Bai Nuo kept observing her. The more he looked at her, the more satisfied he became. She was very good; she was a quick and efficient worker.
