"Of course I remember. Captain Shen suddenly came over and scared me."
"Me too. No wonder the new recruits in the army are afraid of him. He has a cold face all day long and looks scary."
"Do you think he treats Ye Qing the same way?"
"Didn't you see that day? Captain Shen spoke softly to Ye Qing, and he held the child so skillfully. It looked like he held the child often at home. He must be very good to Ye Qing."
"Ye Qing is so lucky."
The man she married was handsome, promising, and so good to her.
"Don't you see how good Ye Qing's conditions are? She's so beautiful, has a good figure, and can even open a shop to make money.
Even if she doesn't marry Captain Shen, she can still live a good life."
"That's true."
"By the way, you've been to Ye Qing's store, right? I heard they sell things like earrings and hairpins."
"I've been there. Look at what I'm wearing on my head. I bought it from her."
"It's really beautiful. I have to buy one someday."
…
That day, Ye Qing was teaching Zhou Zhou Youyou to speak when Ma Xiaolan suddenly came over.
"Sister Ye Qing, I would like to ask for two days' leave."
"What's wrong?"
"I received a letter from home saying my mother is seriously ill and asked me to go back and see her immediately, otherwise I might not be able to see her anymore."
As I spoke, I couldn't help crying.
Although her mother followed her father and forced her to marry the old bachelor.
But she is her mother after all, who gave birth to and raised her. Now that she is so sick, there is no way she would not go back to see her for the last time.
Ye Qing took a piece of paper from the table and handed it to her. "Okay, don't cry. Your mother will be fine. When will you go back?"
Ma Xiaolan wiped her tears and said, "I want to leave in the afternoon. There is a bus that goes directly to our county in the afternoon."
Ye Qing stood up and took out a few big unity notes from the drawer, "Here is the money."
Ma Xiaolan quickly refused, "No, Sister Ye Qing, I have money."
Ye Qing stuffed the money directly into her hand and said, "Your mother is so sick now, she must need a lot of money. You can use this money first. At worst, you can return it to me when you have money in the future."
Ma Xiaolan worked at Ye Qing for just over a month and received a month's salary.
She didn't know how much money her mother's illness would cost, and her salary was definitely not enough.
After thinking about it, he decided not to refuse. "Sister Ye Qing, consider this money as a loan. I will definitely pay it back."
Sister Han came out after washing clothes and saw Ye Qing making milk powder. She asked, "Xiao Ye, where is Xiao Lan?"
Usually, Ma Xiaolan prepares milk powder for the two babies.
Ye Qing said as she prepared milk powder for Zhou Zhou You You, "Something happened at home, so she went back to her hometown."
As he said this, he shook the bottle and handed it to Zhou Zhou Youyou who was waiting to drink milk.
When Sister Han heard that Ma Xiaolan had passed away, she suddenly felt a sense of pressure.
The last time Sister Wang left, she was the only nanny left at home, and she was very busy.
If it weren't for the nanny from Commander Shen's family who came to help, she would have wanted to resign.
He asked cautiously, "Are you still going to ask Commander Shen's nanny to come this time?"
Ye Qing also wanted Zhang Ma to come over.
But recently Luo Wenjuan fell ill, and Aunt Zhang had to take care of her and couldn't get away.
"this……"
Sister Han was a little worried that the same situation as last time would happen again.
Ye Qing was also afraid, so she had thought everything through.
She didn't go to the store these days and stayed at home to take care of her two babies.
But she definitely can't handle it all by herself, Zhou Zhou Youyou is very naughty now.
So I need Sister Han’s help.
But Sister Han also has to do housework and is too busy to do it.
At this time, Shen Lie will come into play.
Responsible for going to the cafeteria to get lunch and dinner, saving Sister Han the time of cooking.
As soon as Chen Lie came back, Ye Qing told him this idea.
He agreed without thinking.
It’s just that the food in the cafeteria is not to Ye Qing’s taste, and he is afraid that she won’t like it.
He suggested, "Why don't you go to that private restaurant you like and buy it."
Ye Qing didn't think too much about it at first, he just wanted to save trouble.
I forgot how bad the cafeteria food was.
But you can’t eat there every day. Not only will people gossip about you if they see you, but you’ll also get tired of eating there every day.
"Go once in a while."
This will not only prevent others from being jealous and gossiping, but also keep you from getting bored.
This went on for about a week. Although I was a little dizzy at times due to being so busy, I was able to cope with it overall.
But it's definitely not as easy as when Ma Xiaolan was around.
Sister Han glanced at the calendar and asked, "Xiao Ye, when will Xiao Lan come back?"
No one felt anything when Ma Xiaolan was around, but her departure showed her importance.
When she was around, she looked after the children and did the housework, which was quite easy.
Although she had less housework to do now that she was gone, she really couldn't handle taking care of the children all the time.
Ye Qing was also wondering, Xiaolan said at the time that she would be back in five or six days.
But now it's almost ten days and she hasn't come back yet.
Ye Qing pointed to the coffee table in the distance and said, "Sister Han, go get the phone book under the coffee table." She wanted to call Ma Xiaolan.
When leaving, Ye Qing asked Ma Xiaolan to leave behind her hometown address and the phone number of the Murakami Brigade.
The call was connected soon.
"Hello, I'm looking for Ma Xiaolan."
"Xiao Lan from the old Ma family, wait a moment, I'll use the loudspeaker to let her come over."
About five minutes later, someone spoke on the other end of the phone again, but it was not Ma Xiaolan, but a man.
"Looking for Xiaolan. Xiaolan is at home taking care of her mother and can't come to answer the phone. If you need anything from her, just tell me."
"Who are you?"
"I'm her father."
"Yes, uncle. Xiaolan used to be my nanny. I want to ask when she will be back?
"She's not going back. Her mother is very ill, and she has to stay at home to take care of her mother."
"What!"
"beep……"
Before Ye Qing could ask again, he heard the other party had hung up the phone.
When Sister Han saw that she had finished her call, she came over and asked, "What's wrong, Xiaoye? Did Xiaolan say when she would be back?"
"Xiaolan's father just answered the phone. He said Xiaolan is staying at home to take care of her mother and won't be back."
Sister Han was very surprised and a little reluctant to believe it, "You're not coming back?"
Ye Qing nodded.
Sister Han was puzzled and asked, "Doesn't their family have anyone else? She has to stay at home to take care of them all the time."
Ma Xiaolan is now the one who earns the most money in the family.
Shouldn't she be allowed to go out to work and earn money to pay for her mother's medical treatment, while her father and younger brothers and sisters stay at home to take care of her mother?
Ye Qing also felt strange.
According to Ma's father, Ma's mother must be too sick to get out of bed and needs someone to take care of her at all times.
But there is more than just Ma Xiaolan in the Ma family. There are also younger brothers and sisters and her as their father, and they can all be taken care of.
It's impossible that Ma Xiaolan doesn't even have time to come out and answer a phone call.
