Zhou Jiadong and Zhou Jiahong can speak Mandarin, but they haven't spoken it much. When they were in school, their teachers used dialect in class.
Zhou Cailian only attended primary school and never went to junior high school, so she doesn't speak Mandarin very well.
Zhou Cailian hadn't thought about this issue before, but now that Yu Qiuying brought it up, her already uneasy heart became even more uneasy.
"Mom, I... I don't speak Mandarin very well..."
Yu Qiuying noticed her nervousness and unease, and quickly comforted her, "It's okay, I'll teach you. You can practice slowly, and you'll naturally get it with more practice."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiahong looked at Yu Qiuying with a suspicious expression, "Mom, can you speak Mandarin?"
Zhou Jiadong and Zhou Cailian also had some doubts: Could their mother speak Mandarin?
"Of course." Yu Qiuying not only speaks Mandarin, but also speaks it very fluently. She also speaks Dongguan dialect, Sichuan dialect, and a little bit of Nancheng dialect and Haicheng dialect.
She even speaks English.
However, when it comes to English, we have to mention Yu Qiuying's experience of working hard away from home in her previous life.
In her previous life, she went out to work in 2002, and her first job was in a hardware factory doing packaging.
After working for two years, I felt the salary was too low, so I switched to a cleaning job. After working for another two years, I felt it was too hard, so I switched to a job washing dishes at a food stall.
By 2008, she had saved some money and learned some cooking skills at a food stall, so she started her own breakfast stall.
But there were just too many people selling breakfast at that time, so she couldn't make much money. After doing it for half a year, she spent money to learn how to barbecue and then set up a barbecue stall, which did much better than the breakfast stall.
So she ran the barbecue stall for more than four years. She did make money, but it was also very hard work. By then she was already sixty years old and her body couldn't take it anymore, so she stopped.
But she couldn't stay idle. She wanted to find a job in a factory, but she was too old and no one wanted her. Or she could only find a job in a small workshop with very low wages.
Later, she met an older woman she had worked with at a food stall. The woman introduced her to a job as a nanny, earning 5,000 yuan a month, to take care of a little girl who had lost both legs in a car accident.
The girl's name was Lin Jiaojiao. Her family was very wealthy, and she was exceptionally talented. At a young age, she could speak three foreign languages, play the piano, play the erhu, and draw.
She should have had a wonderful life.
Unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick on her. Her parents divorced quickly after she was disabled in a car accident, and each started a new family with healthy children.
Lin Jiaojiao was only thirteen years old at the time, and she was left with the nanny.
Yu Qiuying was the third nanny Lin Jiaojiao had ever hired, and she stayed with her for five years. During those five years, they became friends, and Lin Jiaojiao taught her English and how to play the piano.
On Lin Jiaojiao's eighteenth birthday, the two played a piano piece together and had their last dinner together. Yu Qiuying gave Lin Jiaojiao two sweaters that she had knitted herself.
That night, Lin Jiaojiao held her and cried for a long time.
But the next morning, she said she wanted to change nannies. Yu Qiuying didn't think much of it at the time, but reluctantly said goodbye to her, packed her things and left.
When she got back to her place, she found 10,000 yuan and a photo of her and Lin Jiaojiao in the pocket of one of her clothes.
But when she went to find Lin Jiaojiao again the next day with the money, she was told that Lin Jiaojiao had committed suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills.
Recalling all this, Yu Qiuying couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
Lin Jiaojiao, that kind and cheerful girl, hasn't been born yet.
In this lifetime, she is determined to help Lin Jiaojiao avoid that car accident.
Yu Qiuying bought a seat ticket.
What she didn't expect was that she would run into Zhong Xiaolan and that boy when she got on the bus.
