Chapter 67 - 67 Family
67 Family
On the second day of the trial, Qu Zhi went to deguang housekeeping company to sign the contract. The receptionist was shocked. “There’s still one more day of trial.”
“There’s no need to try,” since she had already trusted her, there was nothing more to test. Besides, she would save as much time as she could. She could spend more time with her child in the free time.
Just like that, Liu Hui became Qu Zhi’s nanny. She was not the kind of housemaid who lived at home. She reported at seven in the morning and got off work at eight in the evening, just in time to help Qu Zhi prepare three meals daily. This way, Qu Zhi would have more time for her company.
The nanny’s cooking skills were quite good, and Qu Zhi knew she had found the right person when she saw the nanny preparing a large variety of breakfast in ten minutes. Qu Zhi asked Liu Hui to get a set of chopsticks and a bowl and they ate together.
Qu Zhi introduced Liu Hui at the dining table to Liang Wen and Chuchu.” This is our housekeeper, Liu Hui.”
Liang Wen replied with a “hmm”. He didn’t find it strange at all.
Qu Zhi had too many strange ideas recently, so this one was still considered normal. After all, she was really too busy and had lost a lot of weight. Besides, hiring a nanny wasn’t a big decision.
Chuchu quietly pulled on her mother’s sleeve. “Is this our new grandma?”
Qu Zhi looked at Liu Hui, who was hugging Sisi lovingly and nodded her head.
Liu Hui was really easy to get along with. After Chuchu finished eating, Liu Hui would chat with her and introduce herself. On this day, when Chuchu went to school, she didn’t forget to whisper into Qu Zhi’s ear, “I really like this new grandmother!”
Qu Zhi winked at her. “It’s great that you like it.”
Liu Hui cleaned up the dishes while Qu Zhi dressed herself. Then, she would carry Sisi and head to the office. On Liu Hui’s first day in the company, Qu Zhi seemed to have double the strength even when she was working. Her sales for the day had doubled!
She was secretly happy. If this went on, she would earn much more than before, even after deducting the cost of hiring a nanny.
During the day, Qu Zhi was doing business at the store, while Liu Hui plays with Sisi in the small warehouse or office. There were many times when Qu Zhi went to visit Sisi, and Sisi would laugh especially loudly. She had never played with a child like this before.
Sometimes, when Sisi was asleep, Liu Hui wouldn’t leave Sisi’s side. Sometimes, she would take Qu Zhi’s financial book and read it. Although her eyesight wasn’t very good, she still read it with great interest.
When Sisi woke up, Liu Hui quickly put down her book. Sometimes, she felt it wasn’t good to keep the child in like this, so she would take Sisi to the market nearby to take a look and enjoy the fresh wind. They would also buy some ingredients to make dinner. Sisi was very happy. She grinned the entire time, her round eyes looking around curiously and her legs kicking.
Even Qu Zhi felt that Sisi had changed. If Sisi had been a sensible little adult in the past, now she was the most genuine child. Sisi had actually learned how to fake a cry to act coquettishly.
At night, they sat around the table for dinner like a family.
Sometimes, when Qu Zhi and Liang Wen bickered, Liu Hui tried to smooth things over. Chuchu was also willing to share all the interesting things that happened in school with Liu Hui. No matter how long she spoke or nagged, Liu Hui would patiently listen to her with a smile.
She seemed to have an inseparable connection with this family. Even when he was sleeping at night, Liang Wen would still be in disbelief. “How did you find such a nanny? This is great.”
“Sisi picked it.” Qu Zhi was also very satisfied. Some things could not be explained clearly. This must be fate.
The people in the market all knew Sisi, but they didn’t know Liu Hui. They often saw the old and young pair treating Liu Hui as Qu Zhi’s mother!
When Qu Zhi heard about this later, she also found it funny, but she didn’t deny it.
Indeed, compared to Huang Qing, she was more willing to treat Liu Hui as family. Although they had not known each other for long, Liu Hui had a magical aura that made Qu Zhi and everyone else believe that she was worthy of love and that she was always taken care of.
Liu Hui’s appearance was so gentle and coincidental. It was as if she had been sent by the heavens to make up for the kinship she lacked.
