Two generations of military wives compete for time

In the morning, Uncle Chen Haoyu and Grandpa Lu Kaipu practiced Tai Chi next to the vegetable field in the back garden of the Chen Mansion as usual. Grandma Chen Yalu said while taking a walk: "Han Shiyan and Li Baoguo went to Hong Kong, and son-in-law Qian Guangzong and great-grandson Qian Baogui returned to Lijia Village. I am a little uncomfortable. I feel that the popularity of the Chen Mansion has declined a lot. Qian Yiyun hasn't been here for a long time. She should be giving birth soon."

"Ya Lu, I have the same feeling. Just let nature take its course. What is coming will come, and what is going will go. You can't force it." Grandpa Lu Kaipu said.

"This ancient Chen Mansion has witnessed countless people coming and going. We are just passers-by. Just work from sunrise to sunset, rest from sunset, eat three meals a day, live a regular life, and be yourself. That's victory." Great Uncle Chen Haoyu said with emotion.

The new housekeeper Qin Yue'e took over the task of cultivating the vegetable fields. She went to the vegetable fields and cut some leeks. Today's breakfast was millet porridge and pan-fried buns.

Qin Yue'e, a 45-year-old domestic worker, is from Daoguan Township, Pingzhou County. She has a son and a daughter. Her husband is a stonemason. Five years ago, he was killed in a blast when he was splitting rocks in a mountain due to improper use of explosives. Fortunately, she has a pair of smart and lovely children. In order to support her children's schooling, let them study hard and grow up to be successful, she resolutely walked out of the mountains and came to Pingzhou County, despite her family's opposition, and became a live-in nanny in the home of a retired old teacher.

Qin Yue'e won praise from her employer for her sincerity, kindness and hard work, and she worked for five years. Last year, her two children were admitted to their ideal universities, and she was worried about the tuition fees.

Two months ago, her employer moved to Beijing to live with his son in retirement, and Qin Yue'e lost her job, which made her even worse. Qin Yue'e wanted to find a job that paid more, even if it meant working more jobs. She heard that it was easy to find work at the Daoguan Township Textile Factory.

Qin Yue'e packed her luggage and came to the textile factory in Daoguan Village, Daoguan Township. After asking at several places, she only found a job as a waitress in a small roadside restaurant. She worked twelve hours a day, with food and lodging provided, and the monthly salary was less than half of what she would earn as a live-in nanny.

Qin Yue'e was a little worried, wandering aimlessly on the street, and unknowingly came to the ancient Taoist temple. Qin Yue'e thought that since she was here, she might as well go in and worship the gods, praying for the gods to bless her and help her find a job that can earn more money quickly, and to bless her son and daughter to study hard in college and graduate smoothly.

After Qin Yue'e finished worshipping the gods, she sat on the steps outside the Sanqing Temple in a daze. Taoist Priest Yuan Yanqin passed by Qin Yue'e, secretly observed her for a while, walked up to her and greeted her: "My lady, have you encountered any difficulties? Can you tell me and see if I can help you.

Qin Yue'e stood up flattered and imitated Taoist Priest Yuan Yanqin's gesture to return the greeting: "Thank you. I have indeed encountered difficulties." Qin Yue'e thought that it would be better to hold it in, maybe she would feel better if she said it out.

Qin Yue'e told Taoist Master Yuan Yanqin about her situation and current difficulties without reservation. Taoist Master Yuan Yanqin was silent for a while and asked: "If you believe me, I will introduce you to a live-in nanny job?" Qin Yue'e nodded half-believingly.

"Please wait a moment, I'll make a phone call." Taoist Master Yuan Yanqin said.

"Yizhen, are you busy? Have you found a suitable housekeeper? I spotted a suitable candidate today, you can consider it."

"Okay, Manager Zhang Meijuan recommended a domestic helper a few days ago. She is good in all aspects, but her old mother suddenly suffered a cerebral thrombosis and became paralyzed, so she went back to her hometown to fulfill her filial duty. Now the Chen family needs a domestic helper, so please ask her to come to the office of Dream Come True Textile Co., Ltd. to find me." Qian Yizhen said.

Qin Yue'e went to Qian Yizhen's office according to the location that Taoist Yuan Yanqin said: "Hello, Mr. Qian, Taoist Yuan asked me to come to you."

Qian Yizheng stood up to greet her: "Hello, please sit down." The office waiter made a cup of tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of Qin Yue'e.

Qian Yizheng asked about Qin Yue'e's basic situation and conducted a simple interview with Qin Yue'e from the perspective of a domestic worker. Qian Yizheng believed that Taoist Master Yuan Yanqin would not make a mistake in choosing someone.

"You can try it out for three days. If both parties feel it's a good fit, I'll sign a labor contract with you. It'll provide food and lodging, four days off a month, and a monthly salary of 100 yuan. Do you think that's okay?" Qian Yizheng said in a negotiating tone.

"Okay, I'm willing, I can do it well. Thank you Mr. Qian for giving me the opportunity." Qin Yue'e said excitedly. She had already made her own calculations secretly. A monthly salary of 100 yuan would be enough for the living expenses of the two children, 45 yuan per month, and I could save 10 yuan per month. She felt very happy.

That evening, Qian Yizhen brought Qin Yue'e back to the Chen Mansion and arranged for Qin Yue'e to temporarily live in the same room with nanny Xia Juxiang, and asked Xia Juxiang to help Qin Yue'e familiarize herself with the situation in the Chen Mansion.

On Saturday night, Qian Yizhen, Ming Yuanhui, and Junyan and Junge went out for a walk and met Grandma Huang walking alone on the street: "Grandma Huang, where are you going? Have you had dinner?" Grandma Huang just kept walking forward and ignored Qian Yizhen's question.

Ming Yuanhui felt that something was not right with Grandma Huang: "Grandma Huang, what happened? Let's follow her and see." Ming Yuanhui held Junyan, and Qian Yizheng held Junge, and they followed all the way.

Grandma Huang walked and stopped, as if she was looking for something, with a very anxious face. "Grandma Huang, do you know me? I am Ming Yuanhui, Qian Yizhen's husband." Grandma Huang stared at Ming Yuanhui blankly and shook her head repeatedly: "I want to go home, I seem to be lost, do you know where my home is?"

"I know, I know, Grandma Huang, come with me." Qian Yizhen said, holding Grandma Huang's hand. Grandma Huang shook Qian Yizhen's hand away and took Jun Ge's hand: "My eldest grandson, come home with grandma and I will make dumplings for you."

The housekeeper at Grandma Huang's house ran over in a hurry: "Grandma Huang, where have you been? Grandpa Kuang can't see you and is angry at home."

Qian Yizhen asked the housekeeper, "How long has Grandma Huang been in this condition?" The housekeeper said, "This is the third time she has gone out and can't find her home. Is Grandma Huang sick?"

Qian Yizhen, Ming Yuanhui, Junyan, and Jun Ge, accompanied Grandma Huang and the housekeeper to the Kuang Mansion: "Grandpa Kuang, are you free tomorrow? I want to accompany you and Grandma Huang to the Provincial People's Hospital for a physical check-up. Grandma Huang seems to have some mental problems. The earlier we discover and treat it." Qian Yizhen made a trumpet shape with his hands and spoke close to Grandpa Kuang's ear.

Grandpa Kuang stroked Grandma Huang's back and said, "Old lady, you have to stay with me for a few more years. Let's go to the hospital to see a doctor tomorrow, okay?"

Grandma Huang looked at Grandpa Kuang and said, "Old man, am I sick? How could I not know? You are talking nonsense."

Qian Yizhen and Ming Yuanhui returned to the Chen residence and were about to tell Grandpa Lu Kaipu and Grandma Chen Yalu about Grandma Huang's condition. Grandpa Lu Kaipu hurriedly said, "Yizhen, Zhang Pengfei just called and said Yiyun is giving birth in the Provincial People's Hospital. You should go and see her as soon as possible."
