Chapter 392: The New Nanny
"I fell into a deep sleep again when I was half asleep. I had a dream. I dreamed that an angel was sitting by my bed and dipped a marshmallow into my lips. The marshmallow was icy, cool, and moist. I took a bite and it was very sweet. At that time, I was thinking, is this my ceremony to heaven?
"Is it true that everyone dies differently, so God takes them to heaven differently? I died of thirst, so the angel who came to take me away let me taste sweet, juicy marshmallows to alleviate my pain of not being able to drink water in this world.
"At that time, I thought, it would be great to go to heaven. Even the marshmallows are so special."
Mother Chen chuckled: "It's not cotton candy at all, it's just cotton soaked in sugar water!"
"You had water at hand, but I passed by while working and saw you hadn't had a sip in ages. I went over to take a look and saw, oh my god, your lips were chapped and bleeding. I wanted to wake you up, but you opened your eyes, looked at me, and started rolling your eyes. I was so scared."
As Chen Ma said this, she wrapped the prepared ice cubes in a towel and applied a cold compress to Su Man's bruised area.
"I saw you barely ate a bite of food, and I thought, 'This is too much! How can you not replenish your energy when you're sick? If you have hypoglycemia, that's going to be a big problem.' I quickly made a bowl of sugar water, but you couldn't drink it, so I had to feed you. I used to take care of patients in the hospital, and the doctors would have family members dip a cotton swab in water and feed it to the patients. I wanted to find a cotton swab to feed you, but I couldn't find one. So I found a big bag of those medical cotton balls. I used that cotton ball to dip the water and feed it to you.
"Who knew that you would regain consciousness and open your mouth to eat the cotton ball? I thought you were crazy!"
Mother Chen giggled.
Su Man was also moved by her and started laughing.
In fact, they had discussed this matter more than once.
Mother Chen had also told Su Man that it was cotton dipped in sugar water, not marshmallows.
But every time Su Man brought it up, Chen Ma would cooperate with her to explain it again.
Every time I talk about it, I can find a different angle, and it feels like the first time I’m discussing it.
For Suman, that mouthful of cotton soaked in sugar water not only saved her life, but also moistened her dry youth. It is worth chewing over and over again and savoring it countless times.
In the living room, the noise gradually died down.
Su Man sighed softly:
"I thought that after leaving my aunt, I wouldn't have to live that kind of life anymore, and I wouldn't have to ask Aunt Chen to apply medicine to me anymore," Su Man laughed at herself. "But I seem to be stuck in a vicious circle. No matter how I try to escape, I'm still stuck in the same place. I tried very hard to run out, but there are still people who want to pull me back."
Aunt Chen paused while applying the medicine.
She was a little flustered, and in order to hide her guilt, she poured medicinal wine onto the cotton swab again.
Su Man stood up and said, "It's okay, Aunt Chen, thank you, I don't feel so much pain anymore."
Mother Chen was a little bewildered. "Oh! Okay... This injury needs cold compresses in the early stages. I'll massage it and apply hot compresses tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to help the blood clots dissipate quickly."
Su Man didn't know what she was thinking, and her expression showed some regret: "Auntie Chen, you are really good at taking care of people, and you take good care of me too."
"It's my duty..." Aunt Chen stood helplessly in front of the sofa.
It was like waiting for Suman to sentence her to death.
Unexpectedly, Su Man didn't continue after saying this, and the topic came to an end.
Su Man picked up Dou Dou and walked upstairs. Halfway up, she thought of something and turned back to ask Chen Ma, "Did you call Shi Yan? Didn't he answer?"
"Oh, I got it. I urged my uncle to come back quickly, saying that you had a conflict with your aunt, but he said he was busy over there. I also heard a woman's voice, I don't know if it was a female colleague. But it's getting late, and today is the weekend, why are you working overtime so late? A married man, a single woman, aren't you afraid of gossip..."
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, tomorrow is the last day of the divorce cooling-off period. The day after tomorrow, he and I will end our marriage."
Suman carried Doudou upstairs.
That night, Mother Chen sat in the living room for a long time.
She left only one lamp on.
He showed some signs of old age and was slightly hunched.
The solitary lamp cast a shadow over her, making her feel lonely and helpless.
the next day.
Aunt Chen was still busy in the yard when the doorbell suddenly rang.
When Chen Ma answered the video doorbell, she saw the face of a strange woman.
The woman was dressed simply and her age couldn't be determined, but she looked slightly younger than Chen Ma.
"Excuse me, who are you? Who are you looking for?" asked Aunt Chen.
On the electronic display, the woman smiled warmly: "Hello, is this Ms. Su Mansu's home? Let me see the address, it's 1866 Yongjiang Road."
"This is 1866 Yongjiang Road, yes, but who are you...?"
"I'm the domestic nanny hired by Ms. Su." The woman outside smiled so hard that her eyes wrinkled.
Mother Chen didn't believe it. "Are you kidding? We're not hiring a new nanny, and our young lady can't possibly be looking for another one..."
Behind him, Su Man slowly walked out from the flowery path, "Auntie Chen, open the door, I'm the one who found you."
"Is this really the babysitter you hired...? Is she here to help out temporarily?"
"It's not temporary. I signed a long-term contract. Just like you, I live there 24 hours a day."
Aunt Chen's face was slightly embarrassed. "Why did you suddenly think of hiring a nanny? There's not much extra work at home. I can take care of your family of three by myself, which is more than enough..."
As she spoke, Chen Ma's face changed, and she was about to cry but had no tears: "Miss, you don't want to replace me, do you? You don't want Chen Ma anymore?"
"How could that be? Sister A Ling will help you take care of the house from now on." Su Man comforted her and added: "Sister A Ling was mainly hired by me to take care of Dou Dou full-time."
"Specially take care of the young master?" Aunt Chen was a little confused.
Su Man nodded, walked forward and opened the door for Ye Ling who was outside.
As he opened the door, he turned around and said to Chen Ma:
"From now on, all matters concerning Doudou will be handed over to Sister A-Ling, and she will report directly to me. You can just take care of other matters."
As soon as Ye Ling entered the room, she immediately bowed to Su Man and Chen Ma, "Hello, Madam! Hello, Chen Ma!"
Mother Chen was frightened by her enthusiasm.
Ye Ling stood up, extended her hand towards Chen Ma, and grinned. "Before I came here, the young lady told me that you are the elder of the family. From now on, please give me more guidance. If there is anything I do wrong, you can point it out at any time. I have a strong tolerance and can adapt to the environment quickly!"
Aunt Chen forced a smile and shook Ye Ling's hand.
Su Man instructed Chen Ma: "Today, Chen Ma, you will take Sister A Ling to familiarize herself with the environment at home and the basic daily work. You should also learn about Doudou's eating habits, sleep schedule, and so on."
"good……"
Mother Chen grabbed the apron around her waist, wiped her hands, and said to Ye Ling, "Come with me. I'll take you to our nanny's room to put your things away."
Mother Chen brought Ye Ling home to introduce them.
At this time, the gate opened and Qiao Shiyan came home.
