Wang Yue didn't mind that Cui Xuezhi didn't show up.
After chatting with Xiang Ling for a while, he brought Dong Mancang out of the Liang family.
Wang Yue appears soft on the outside, but is actually a decisive person. She said she would only stay in the family compound for three days, and she didn't stay a day longer. On the fourth day, she asked Dong Dingbang to take her, Dong Mancang and her little grandson to the Xishe Railway Station.
Not to mention Dong Dingbang's reluctance to part with his mother, the person who was happiest when Wang Yue left was Cui Xuezhi!
As soon as the old witch left, Cui Xuezhi felt that the dark clouds above her head suddenly dissipated, and her whole body became radiant.
She was in such a good mood that she wanted to hum a song, but Xiang Ling grabbed her arm and reminded her, "Behave yourself! Xiao Dong will be back soon, so don't act so happy, okay?"
"Xiao Dong has been fatherless since childhood and was raised by his mother bit by bit. The bond between mother and son is something you can't compare to. He's only sending her away because of pressure. You act so happy. Even if he doesn't say it, he'll definitely remember you in his heart."
"I know, I know. I'm not stupid." Cui Xuezhi said, "I only reveal my true emotions in front of you. When Dong Dingbang comes back, I will definitely not do this again."
Xiang Ling said, "I'm just afraid that you won't be able to hide it, so I'm reminding you. If you were a little more sensible, you could make me feel less worried."
Cui Xuezhi pouted and retorted: "I'm already very sensible even though I'm not divorced."
"Don't keep talking about divorce all the time. If you ever make Xiaodong angry and she divorces you, you'll regret it and have no place to cry." Xiang Ling lectured her and said, "Think about it yourself. I can't always be by your side making decisions for you. Xiaodong's mother is gone, and I'll have to leave too in a few days."
"Ah? Leaving so soon?" Cui Xuezhi said reluctantly, "Mom, I don't want you to leave. Can't you stay here for a few more days?"
Xiang Ling shook his head and said, "I've been here for over a month now. During this time, your brother and sister-in-law have been urging me to go back, but once your matter was resolved, I was worried and stayed. Now that the matter is resolved, it's time for me to go back."
"Then what should I do?" Cui Xuezhi was a little confused: "I don't know anything. If you don't help me, I can't take care of the child alone."
"If you can't take care of me, then learn. Your eldest brother didn't know anything back then, but he figured things out bit by bit and still managed to raise all four of you siblings." Xiang Ling said, "I have a lot of things to do at home. I can't stay here and take care of you forever."
"But, but..." Cui Xuezhi was extremely panicked.
She had never taken care of a child alone. It was always her mother and the Liang family's nanny who helped her. At most, she would change the child's diaper, and she had never even wiped the child's poop alone.
Now suddenly she is asked to take care of the child by herself? Can she do it?
"Don't worry. If you are worried that you can't take care of the child, wait until you move back to Xiaodong's house and hire a nanny to help you take care of the child. Pay the nanny fifteen or twenty yuan a month. You and your wife can afford it with your salary." Xiang Ling immediately arranged it for Cui Xuezhi. She didn't have to think about it and could just do it.
"If you really have a problem that you can't solve, come to your aunt, and she will help you."
Xiang Ling said this, which showed that he was determined to leave.
Seeing she couldn't keep her mother, Cui Xuezhi could only nod reluctantly: "Well, then. When are you leaving? I'll take you to the train station then."
Xiang Ling refused. "No need. You've injured yourself this time, so you need to take a full two-month confinement period. Don't go out in the wind during this period. Just let Xiaodong take me to the train station. Besides, the child can't be away from his mother for too long."
Cui Xuezhi knew that what her mother said made sense, and her health really didn't allow her to go out and get exposed to the wind, so she could only nod helplessly.
Cui Xuezhi was still in the postpartum period and could not go out, so Xiang Ling started to help Cui Xuezhi look for a nanny before leaving.
However, she was not familiar with the family compound and couldn't find a suitable candidate after asking around. It was Cui Jing who used her connections in the Women's Federation to help her find a suitable candidate.
She was a family member of an employee of the military uniform factory, an older sister named Chen, in her thirties. She had raised three children and was experienced in taking care of children. She was also patient and meticulous. She brought the child home to show Cui Xuezhi, who was satisfied. She said the salary was 18 yuan a month, and immediately gave Sister Chen 2 yuan as a deposit, and asked her to go home to pack her things and move into No. 1 Hutong the day after tomorrow.
Sister Chen felt something was wrong when she heard it.
Isn't the nanny only working during the day? Why do we have to ask her to pack up and come live here?
She has three children at home, and she has to go home to take care of them at night.
After hearing what Sister Chen said, Cui Xuezhi was also dumbfounded. She subconsciously looked at Cui Jing: "Auntie, didn't you tell Sister Chen in advance? I'm looking for a full-time nanny?"
Cui Jing was also surprised and asked her, "Xuezhi, don't you take care of the child at night? If you take care of the child yourself, then you won't need a nanny to help at night. You can just hire one during the day."
Cui Xuezhi said: "I sleep with my child, but the child needs milk powder at night. If there is no nanny to help, I have to change diapers and make milk powder by myself. It's too tiring and I can't sleep at night."
Cui Jing said, "Let Xiao Dong help you."
"What if he's out on a mission and not at home? Then I definitely can't handle it alone." Cui Xuezhi's eyelashes drooped, and she looked a little wilted.
Xiang Ling then asked Sister Chen, "Chen Qizhi, can you do it all day?"
Sister Chen immediately shook her head and said, "No, no. I have to go back to my own house at night. I have three children at home, all in their teens, who can't take care of themselves yet. If I don't go back at night, they won't even have anything to eat."
Cui Jing said to Sister Chen with an apologetic look, "Well, then. I'm sorry, Chen Zhizhi, for making you come here for nothing."
"It's okay, it's okay." Sister Chen didn't say anything and immediately returned the two yuan deposit given by Cui Xuezhi.
After seeing Sister Chen off, Cui Jing said, "Let's find someone else."
But a suitable nanny was not found. Once Xiang Ling left the army, Cui Xuezhi still hadn't found a suitable one.
After Xiang Ling left, Cui Xuezhi moved back to No. 1 Hutong. Cui Jing was worried about her taking care of the child alone, so she lent her the nanny at home temporarily and also helped her find other candidates.
But even with the help of Cui's nanny, Cui Xuezhi's process of taking care of the child was not smooth.
The premature baby was not healthy and often cried in the middle of the night. Xiang Ling used to accompany her to sleep with the child. When the child cried at night, Xiang Ling would pick up the child and comfort him without waiting for the crying to wake her up. Cui Xuezhi often slept until dawn. When she chatted with Xiang Ling the next day, she found out that the child had cried again at night.
Now that Xiang Ling is not with her, and the Cui family's nanny sleeps soundly at night, it is Cui Xuezhi who suffers.
She doesn't know how to coax the child, and often after trying for a long time, the child still cries and makes a fuss, and it's all useless.
She endured it for two days and felt like her head was about to explode.
