Chapter 349 The Nanny Arrives
In the morning, the nanny that Xia Zhiqian had asked someone to hire arrived. He knocked on the door around eight o'clock.
"Hello, I'm the nanny hired by the Xia family."
Xia Yichu opened the door, staring in disbelief at the burly man before her. He was the nanny; Xia Yichu could hardly believe her eyes.
"Hello, I'm the nanny hired by the Xia family."
The man looked at the girl in front of him, who was so beautiful she seemed otherworldly, scratched his head embarrassedly, and repeated himself again.
"Oh, please come in. Grandma, the nanny that Zhiqian hired has arrived."
Grandma Xia was watching TV when she heard this and looked outside. A moment later, the man walked in like a small mountain, and Grandma Xia was also stunned.
"Hello, ma'am."
Grandma Xia realized what was happening and greeted the man with a smile, "Young man, come in and sit down."
The man smiled憨厚ly, revealing a set of big white teeth, and looked a bit silly.
Xia Yichu watched from the side, still a little doubtful. This nanny was not only a man, but also a big, burly one. Could she take good care of her grandfather?
"Auntie, no need. Just tell me if there's any chores around the house. I'd like to work now."
"No rush, you must be tired after coming all this way. Come and rest for a bit. Xiao Chu, bring out some steamed buns and porridge from home for the young man to have."
"Auntie, no need, I'm not hungry."
As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach growled, and the man scratched his head awkwardly. Xia Yichu smiled and turned to go to the kitchen to bring out steaming buns and porridge.
The man got up at four in the morning and walked for three or four hours to get here. He was already hungry and cold, and his mouth watered as he looked at the steamed buns and porridge.
"Eat up, don't go hungry. You'll have the energy to work when you're full."
"Grandma Xia said warmly. The man stopped refusing and started eating heartily, quickly devouring the food in no time."
"Young man, what's your name?"
"Auntie, my name is Tiezhu, and I live in a small mountain village 20 kilometers away."
"Tiezhu, do you know you're here to take care of a patient? My wife broke her leg a few days ago and we need a caregiver who can look after people to do this job."
To be honest, Grandma Xia didn't believe that Tiezhu could take good care of Grandpa Xia. She just felt sorry for Tiezhu and couldn't bear to tell him directly that she didn't want him.
In the dead of winter, Tie Zhu's clothes were very thin, and although they had no patches, they were faded from washing. He wasn't wearing socks, and his shoes were tattered, with his toes sticking out.
Upon hearing this, Tie Zhu patted his chest anxiously and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I have a lot of experience taking care of people."
I took care of my dad while he was in bed before he passed away. I'm sure I can do a good job of caring for people.
Realizing he had said something wrong, he hurriedly said, "No, that's not what I meant. I didn't say that Grandpa would be like my dad. Auntie, I'm bad with words, please don't take it to heart."
Grandma Xia couldn't help but laugh at Tie Zhu's honest yet anxious explanation: "It's alright, I know what you mean. Okay, you can stay and try it out first."
Upon hearing this, Tie Zhu's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Auntie, I will definitely do my best."
"Xiao Chu, take Tie Zhu inside to see your grandfather, and also tell your uncle to go home and get some rest."
"it is good"
Xia Yichu was about to bring Tiezhu inside when the knocking sounded again.
"I'll go open the door."
Before Xia Yichu could react, Tie Zhu walked past her like a gust of wind.
"Little friend, who are you looking for?"
"Who are you? Where are my grandparents?"
Luo Yuechuan stared blankly at the strange man in front of him, grinning sheepishly to appear more approachable.
"They're at home, come in quickly."
"Xiao Chuan, you're here. This is the uncle that Zhiqian invited to take care of your grandfather. What are you standing there for? Come in quickly."
The man pursed his lips as if he wanted to speak, but ultimately didn't. He wanted to say that there was no need to call him "uncle," because despite his older appearance, he was only twenty-three years old, not much older than them.
"Okay, Yichu, are my dad and grandparents up yet?"
"Everyone's up."
After they all went inside, Tiezhu closed the door before going in himself.
"Grandma, are you feeling any better?"
Luo Yuechuan walked over and sat down next to Grandma Xia, looking at her with a worried expression. While his grandmother was hospitalized, his mother wouldn't let him go to the hospital because he needed to study for his exams. Today was Sunday, and he had taken the bus here by himself after getting up.
Xia Yichu led Tiezhu into the room to see Grandpa Xia. Luo Hao had been watching over Grandpa Xia by himself last night. He hadn't slept much, not daring to let himself sleep too soundly, and would get up to see Grandpa Xia every now and then.
He only fell asleep peacefully after helping Grandpa Xia to the toilet as dawn approached, so he was still asleep when Xia Yichu brought Tiezhu in.
"Grandma is fine! Don't worry. Where are your mom and brother? Why did you come alone?"
Luo Yuechuan lowered his head and said uneasily, "Mom and my brother haven't gotten up yet."
Ever since his father came here to take care of his maternal grandparents, his mother has been in a bad mood and often scolds him at home.
Yesterday, Mom called Grandma's house and argued with Dad on the phone. Mom told Dad to focus on his business, saying she would take care of Grandma and Grandpa herself, but Dad was worried and insisted on putting aside all his business to take care of them himself.
The two argued about this because, due to the younger brother's illness, his mother seemed to have visited his maternal grandparents only a few times.
"Xiao Chuan, have you eaten?"
Grandma Xia, thinking about how unreliable her daughter could be at times, asked a question out of concern.
"No"
He was so eager to visit his maternal grandparents that he didn't even have time to eat.
"Come on, Grandma just wanted to look around, I'll take you to buy some delicious food."
Tie Zhu had just eaten the leftover steamed buns and porridge from breakfast. Seeing her grandson looking sullen, Grandma Xia decided to take him out to buy some treats.
"Grandma, can I go in to see Grandpa first?"
"Can"
Luo Yuechuan went in to check on Grandpa Xia before coming out. In the room, Tiezhu saw someone sleeping on the bed. He greeted Grandpa Xia in a low voice and then quickly went over to adjust the pillow behind Grandpa Xia's back.
After looking at the chamber pot on the ground, they took it outside to empty it, washed it clean, and then brought it back in.
"Grandpa, it's sunny today. I'll go boil some water and give you a bath and wash your hair later."
Grandpa Xia's eyes lit up at the mention of this. He hadn't taken a bath since breaking his leg, only wiping himself down each time. Luo Hao, a businessman, hadn't done any heavy work for many years, and even carrying Grandpa Xia was difficult for him. Grandpa Xia didn't dare to ask for a bath.
"Okay, go ahead! Boil more water."
Xia Yichu carefully observed Tie Zhu from the side and found that although he had a rough appearance, he was a thoughtful person.
"Xiao Chu, where are your aunt and Xiao Kai? Have they come to our house?"
Grandpa Xia only saw Luo Yuechuan, not Xia Guofang and Luo Yuekai, and asked Xia Yichu, unwilling to give up.
"No"
Grandpa Xia was visibly disappointed. While he and his wife were in the hospital, Xia Guofang only visited them twice, citing Luo Yuekai's illness as the reason.
He only came to my house once after being discharged from the hospital, stayed for less than half an hour, and left again. He hasn't shown up since.
It would be a lie for Grandpa Xia to say he wasn't sad; Xia Guofang was his adopted daughter whom he had doted on since childhood. His gaze fell on Luo Hao on the bed, and he immediately felt relieved.
