Rebirth and making money first

The matter wasn't that complicated. Not long ago, the elderly man's daughter called. Li Xiangyue then began to communicate with the family. After some discussion, it was determined that the elderly man didn't have much money and was showing early signs of dementia.

In order not to make the old lady angry, they finally decided to find an electrician to replace the lock on the old lady's cabinet. The old lady smiled, and the storm was finally calmed down.

When Li Xiangyue went to work with the caregiver, she said earnestly, "This old man is very old and may already have symptoms of Alzheimer's. So, please don't take what happened just now to heart! Don't get angry with the old woman; she can't control her mind. After all, we have to be patient in this job. We must also pay attention to our own emotions and not be affected by the old man's behavior. I know it's been very hard for you lately, but there's nothing we can do about it. This is our job responsibility. You are excellent, keep up the hard work! I believe in you!"

The nurse nodded repeatedly, indicating that she understood, and then responded, "Yes, I know. I will pay special attention to her physical and mental condition in the future." At this time, Li Xiangyue smiled slightly and continued, "If you are unhappy, then just wait and see. Maybe after a while, this old lady will completely forget about the quarrel with you today." The nurse also echoed, "Yes, yes, she used to be like this often. I understand what you mean. I will definitely pay more attention to her."

After Zhang Jing and Li Xiangyue slowly walked out of the room, they both sighed at the same time. At this moment, Li Xiangyue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and with a faint smile, she said softly to Zhang Jing beside her, "Dear, now you finally see clearly, right? In fact, there is nothing serious here at all. It's just that when people have some free time, they have to find some trouble to torment themselves. Look at those elderly people. If they can't find their children, they will point the finger at us caregivers. However, our work as caregivers is not really heavy and tiring. In addition to daily care, we often need to provide them with spiritual comfort and soothing."

Hearing this, Zhang Jing frowned and responded indignantly, "Humph, if I had been wronged like this, I would have quit long ago!"

Li Xiangyue gently patted Zhang Jing's shoulder and said earnestly, "You are still young and full of vigor. Your life experience is too shallow, and the things you have experienced are really limited. You must understand one thing: all the elderly in this world are filled with fear of death, and almost every one of them is more or less stingy and mean."

"As long as you can deeply imprint these two key points in your heart, then in the future when you deal with various affairs, you will be able to focus on these two points and handle them more easily and skillfully than other colleagues." Her eyes revealed the wisdom and composure of a veteran.

"In short, you should treat the elderly like children, praising them frequently. Ask them about their youthful days, and they'll be happy to share. This will surely delight them. Elderly people are actually quite simple-minded, and not that complicated or difficult to understand."

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Does this mean that I have to practice speaking like honey, saying the right thing to one person and the wrong thing to another?"

"Well... if you're willing to understand it that way, it's not a bad idea. Even if they know in their hearts that you're deliberately deceiving them and telling them lies, as long as they feel happy, that's enough. But there's a saying that goes, 'Every job is like a different world!' In this job, we have to learn and master all kinds of knowledge and skills, which can truly benefit us for a lifetime!"

"These valuable experiences are something no one else can easily reveal to you. You have to personally experience countless twists and turns, and endure countless hardships, before you can truly understand their true meaning. Do you know how I, your sister-in-law, gradually climbed to the position I'm in today? Nothing comes easy."

Hearing this, Zhang Jing couldn't help but ask back, "Sister-in-law, I suddenly don't want to continue working in the nursing home. If I regret it now, I wonder if it's too late?"

Li Xiangyue did not respond to her, but said lightly: "Just do this job for now! Even if you want to leave, you must find the right time. Just be patient for now and don't say anything more." These words made Zhang Jing feel depressed. She extremely hated her current situation: she was unable to control and freely choose her job.

Li Xiangyue knew full well that there was no way she could be transferred out of the nursing home anytime soon, and Zhang Jing naturally couldn't take over her position. Even if she wanted to return to her old job, it was unrealistic.

The only viable option now was to find her a suitable position within the nursing home. She wouldn't be happy with a nursing position, I doubt. But then I thought, she's always enjoyed the square and exercising with the elderly. It would be better to assign her to the cultural and sports department, leading everyone's exercises. However, this matter needed to be decided after consulting the director first.

Zhang Jing didn't know that her job had been reassigned to her in Li Xiangyue's mind. Zhang Jing figured it was better to rely on herself than on others, and in order to change jobs sooner, she became motivated to study again. She had to pass this exam.

While the students at night school were still diligently studying, Zhang Jing opened Aunt Zhang's atlas and mapped the lessons to it. Suddenly, she understood what she needed to master at the intermediate level. But remembering Aunt Zhang's comment that the advanced level didn't cover much more than the intermediate, she still felt a little uncertain. She simply took the atlas to the teacher, asking her to check if it fully summarized the intermediate level's content.

The teacher looked at it carefully for a long time, adding some content and changing some. He told Zhang Jing, "Did you come up with this diagram? It's very creative and the knowledge points are clear at a glance. You can promote it to the whole class." Zhang Jing agreed and said that an experienced accountant had done it.

The teacher put the diagram on a screen and asked everyone to copy it down and review it accordingly. If anyone didn't understand, they could ask. Zhang Jing also hoped everyone would pass, but some people ended up falling in love while studying.

Learning has become a platform, and they just want to find someone to commit their lives to. They say love is easy to find in Shenzhen, and Zhang Jing has certainly seen it. But she remembers she's here to get a certificate, so she won't waste her money.

Soon Zhang Jing couldn't laugh anymore. She had also met someone who wanted to entrust his life to her. She didn't know how to refuse because that person was Old Lady Xu!

When Zhang Jing delivered the pork ribs, corn, carrots, and other dishes to Old Lady Xu as promised, she was overwhelmed with gratitude. Not only did she pay for them, she also forced a large apple on Zhang Jing, saying she couldn't bite it and told Zhang Jing to be polite.

Zhang Jing was pulled into the house by her to "tell something." She didn't understand what Mrs. Xu was talking about, so she just listened. The more she listened, the more incredible it seemed to her.

It turned out that Mrs. Xu wanted Zhang Jing to become her godparents, as she had no friends in the nursing home. Knowing that Zhang Jing was also alone, she said, "As long as you can take care of me like a relative until I'm old, I can make a will and leave all my property to you. I have two houses in Shanghai and I'm not short of jewelry. I just need a close friend who understands my feelings!"

Zhang Jing didn't understand why Mrs. Xu chose her. "There are so many people in the nursing home, can't you find someone you can trust?" Zhang Jing asked her.

Mrs. Xu smiled bitterly. "I've lived here for many years and in other nursing homes as well. I've looked at many people, but none of them seemed suitable. I've been observing you for a while, and I think we'd get along very well. You're very much like me when I was younger, and I'm confident I'm not mistaken."

"I need to think about it. Give me some time," Zhang Jing said to Mrs. Xu. "That's as I should. Hearing you say that makes me feel more relieved. You're a good child. Let me show you my collection."

Old Mrs. Xu opened a box filled with gold. "These are my gold jewelry. I don't even want to wear them anymore. They will all be yours from now on. I also have gold bars and various jewels in my bank safe. If you take care of me until I'm old, they will all be yours."

Zhang Jing said, "You still have a lot of life ahead of you, why are you saying such depressing things?"

Mrs. Xu said, "I have nothing left in this world to cherish. These things cannot be brought into this world, and they cannot be taken away from me when I die. Leaving them to you is a comfort."

"Don't be so pessimistic! You've come to this world, don't you have anyone to miss?"

She said, how could there not be any? "I regret not getting married and having children when I was young, otherwise I would be so happy now! Anyway, take this jewelry and wear it. Dress yourself up!"
