After she left, Bai Shuixian washed the dishes and hurried back to work.
Just as she reached the door, her supervisor, Sister Wang, called her: "Narcissus, Mrs. Peng's daughter and son-in-law are here to visit. They are talking in the room. Please come in later and give her a massage."
Bai Shuixian's eyes twinkled slightly, and she smiled and said, "The old lady's children are so filial. Her daughter and son-in-law came to visit just two days ago, and they came to visit again today."
"The first two days it was the eldest daughter and son-in-law who came, and today it was the youngest daughter and son-in-law who came."
Sister Wang knew a little about the Peng family, so she lowered her voice and told her, "The old lady's youngest son-in-law is the deputy mayor of Seoul, and her youngest daughter is also a high-ranking official. She's much more successful than her eldest daughter's son-in-law. The old lady loves her youngest daughter the most."
Bai Shuixian has been working here for nearly a month and has fully understood the personalities of the old leaders here. The old lady of the Peng family is in the worst physical condition, but has the worst temper. This is also because the Peng family is very powerful in Seoul, and her children and grandchildren are all promising, so she has the capital to be willful and arrogant.
The work was arranged in shifts. In the afternoon, she was going to give a massage to the old lady of the Peng family. Seeing that someone had come to visit her family, Bai Shuixian had no choice but to wait outside.
Not long after, the ward door opened and a woman in a deep blue coat walked out. Standing at the door, she asked, "Who is Comrade Bai Shuixian?"
"Comrade, I am."
Bai Narcissus stood up. She was dressed very simply and wore a mask on her face. She looked at the other person quietly.
"Come in and give my mother a massage." Peng Yuni glanced at her indifferently, then turned and went into the house.
Bai Shuixian entered the room carrying a tray from the cabinet. When her eyes fell on the man in the room, she tightened her grip on the tray and spoke in a normal tone, "Madam, your daughter and son-in-law are here to visit you. Would you like to talk to them more? I can apply for a shift change."
"It's okay, you can massage me, it won't affect our conversation."
Madam Peng seemed to be in a good mood. She raised her arm and said, "You massaged my arm last night and it was quite effective. It doesn't hurt as much today. Please massage it again."
"Okay, I'll go get some hot water and give you a warm compress before pressing."
Bai Shuixian put down the tray and asked carefully, "Old Madam, would you like a cup of medicinal tea today?"
"Give me a cup, and make one for my daughter and son-in-law as well."
"OK."
Bai Shuixian nodded to Peng Yuni and her husband, then turned around and went out to prepare.
Xue Hailin sat upright beside the bed, his eyes fixed on Bai Shuixian's back, and asked, "Mom, is this nurse new? We didn't see her the last time we came."
"She was recruited recently, around the same time I came to the nursing home."
"She's quite good at massage. She has good technique. She massages the elderly people living here every day, and everyone else says it's very effective. I heard them all say she's a good massager, so I invited her over last week. She massages my limbs and head for half an hour every day, and it really makes me feel much better."
Peng Yuni saw that her mother looked much better and said, "Mom, since she feels comfortable with the massage, ask her to massage you more often in the future. We won't treat her unfairly."
"Don't worry about this, I can arrange it myself."
Bai Shuixian quickly came in with medicinal tea, and brought a cup to Xue Hailin and his wife. She then helped Madam Peng sit up and said, "Madam, please drink your tea first, and then we'll have the massage."
"Okay, go get some water and get ready."
Bai Shuixian nodded, turned around and left without saying anything to Xue Hailin and his wife.
Peng Yuni didn't say anything, but her eyes were glued to her back. Although this woman was wearing a mask, her forehead and eyes that were exposed were quite pretty. She had a slim, tall and slender figure, and she walked lightly with a good posture. She didn't look like someone from an ordinary family.
Seeing Xue Hailin also staring at her from behind, Peng Yuni's face instantly fell. After Bai Shuixian left, she asked, "Mom, has the nursing home conducted a thorough investigation into this caregiver's background?"
"Why are you asking this?" Old Madam Peng looked at her.
"Mom, I'm just being cautious. You're living in a nursing home, and I'm worried about your safety."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Peng smiled and said, "It's very safe in the sanatorium, don't worry."
After that, he also told her about Bai Shuixian's situation. "The sanatorium also conducts thorough recruitment checks. Bai Shuixian's identity is fine. She is divorced from her husband and lives with her daughter. She used to teach at a middle school in her hometown for 17 or 18 years. Some time ago, her daughter and son-in-law got married, and she moved to Seoul with them. Her son-in-law is the deputy commander of the Seoul Military Region, and her daughter was admitted to the civil affairs department last week."
Everyone in the nursing home knew Bai Shuixian's basic personal situation, and she would also take the initiative to tell them these things when she chatted with the old leaders.
Upon hearing that Bai Shuixian's daughter and son-in-law were both public servants and military personnel, Peng Yuni felt relieved. "Mom, if their identities are okay, I'll have her give you more massages to soothe you. I see that you've been in better spirits lately, and your face has some color. You're much better than when you were first discharged from the hospital."
"I feel better now. Although I still have pains all over my body, I can occasionally walk for ten minutes or so with the help of a cane."
They talked for a while, and after Mrs. Peng finished drinking the medicinal tea, Peng Yuni went out and called Bai Shuixian to come in and give her mother a massage.
Bai Shuixian worked quietly throughout the whole process and did not interrupt, but she heard everything they said.
Xue Hailin and his wife didn't stay here for long. After drinking the medicinal tea, they sat for about ten minutes and then left.
After they left, Bai Shuixian spoke: "Old Madam, your daughter and son-in-law are very filial. They took time out from their busy work to come visit you."
