"Knocked! Hello? "

"in! Who is it? " Yu Mei and her husband Wen Li were having tea after dinner when they heard someone knocking at the door. She put down her teacup and went to open the door.

"ah! Who are you looking for? " Yu Mei opened the door, thinking that this person might have knocked on the wrong door. Knocking at the door is a beautiful woman, about forty years old, 1.8 meters tall, with big eyes, a small cherry mouth and a big smile. Although dressed simply, she looks extraordinary, gentle and lovely, and smells mature.

"Hello, madam! Are you Sister Yu Mei? My name is Yating, and my fellow villager Chen Rongjie introduced me as a nanny! " Yating said politely.

"Oh, come in, come in." Yu Mei remembers that a few days ago, she inadvertently told Chen Rong in the same community that she wanted to hire a nanny, preferably someone who knew her well. I didn't expect Chen Rong to find a nanny so soon.

Wen Li looked at this woman named Yating up and down and asked doubtfully, "Are you here as a nanny?"

? "yes! Sir, I think I can. If you think I have a bad month, you can fire me without pay. " Yating said with a smile.

"No, no! If you are not satisfied, I will still give you the money. " Wen Li couldn't believe that such a gentle person came to be a nanny, but he was too embarrassed to ask more questions.

? "Can you read? Who else is at home? " Wen Li still couldn't control his emotions and asked Ya Ting.

? "Literacy, graduated from junior high school, with parents-in-law, husband and a child at home. The husband is teaching, and the family's living expenses depend on him. The child is a boy, 10 years old. " Yating still smiles, giving people a very cordial feeling.

"Oh, that's not easy, now the teacher's salary is not much. I am also a child, a boy. I'm thirteen years old and I'm in junior high school. What does he not understand in the future? Do you think you can teach him? " Wen Li has been very satisfied with the nanny in front of him.

? "okay! Sir, I will try my best! " Yating still said with a smile.

"Ya ting, later you can call him brother, call me sister, don't call Mr. Wang and his wife. I'll take you to see my son Binbin, who is doing his homework. " Yu Mei is also full of joy.

Yating is kind and virtuous. She and her husband have been taking care of each other since they got married, and they are especially filial to their parents-in-law. Seeing that my parents-in-law have no job and my son is studying at school, the family environment is getting more and more difficult, so I decided to go out to work after discussing with my husband. Chen Rongjie, who happened to be a fellow villager, came over and talked about the good quality of Wen Lijia, so he came to apply.

As the days passed, Wen Li's home was kept in good order by Yating. And his son Binbin prefers Yating. When he encountered any problems in his homework, he went to consult Yating and often pestered Yating to tell him stories. It is said that Yating is only a junior high school student, but she knows everything about English, mathematics, Chinese and calligraphy, and her grades have soared. Li Wenhe Yu Mei saw happiness in her eyes.

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle. Ten years have passed in an instant, and Yating's hair has gradually been covered by the wind and frost of the years, and all the silver lines are clearly visible. My parents-in-law are also old, and her husband and son have repeatedly advised themselves to quit this job and go home to take care of their parents-in-law, but Yating was unable to give up her affection in Yumei, Li Wenhe.

Yating looked at the blue sky. Since she came to this seaside city as a nanny, she took a walk on the beach at dusk for the first time. The gentle sea breeze danced, raising a layer of misty sand and stirring up mysterious poetry, but Yating was completely in no mood. There are some seemingly leisurely sails on the distant sea, just like her mood at the moment. Binbin is married, and the bride is a rich woman named Mei Fong. When Yating saw her, she had an indescribable feeling. In short, she felt separated from strangers. Yating thinks it's time to quit this job. But Li Wenhe Yu Mei and Binbin refused, insisting that Yating would only resign after Mei Fong gave birth to a baby.

Mei Fong is a little thin, but very white. Big eyes, straight nose, a complete beauty embryo.

After Binbin and Mei Fong got married, they moved out to live in a new home instead of living with the Wenli couple. Wen Li and his wife asked Ya Ting to take care of Binbin and them in the past, but Mei Fong refused. She wanted to invite her parents to be a nanny, but because she just got married, her parents-in-law insisted on listening, so she agreed to live with Yating in the past, but Mei Fong always had doubts.

On this day, Yating just went downstairs to throw garbage. Mei Fong said to Binbin, "Binbin, how was Aunt Ting at your house before?"

"What? Very good! " Binbin saw Mei Fong one eye, a little puzzled.

? "It's just that your hands and feet are not clean!"

? "Hands and feet dry not clean? How to say it? " Binbin still doesn't understand.

"You are so stupid! I mean, she used to be at your house. Has she ever stolen anything? " Mei Fong didn't wait for Binbin to answer, and then said, "My things are always misplaced, and I have no memory."

"How is it possible! Look at you. You're so paranoid. How many times have I told you, Aunt Ting is very nice and closer than relatives! " Binbin's affection for Yating is not just a nanny, but like her own wet nurse. He thinks that besides his parents, Aunt Ting is the best for him.

"Hum! You are so stupid! " Mei Fong still doesn't believe it. She had a plan in her mind. She wanted to see if Yating was as honest as Binbin said.

The next day, Mei Fong secretly put one of her little bracelets on the edge of the sofa, and then went to work with Binbin. She knows that Yating cleans the sofa every day and will find it.

Yating was busy with other things and began to clean the sofa. She suddenly saw this gold bracelet, paused, then silently picked it up, wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in her pocket.

In the evening, Mei Fong and Binbin came back, and Ya Ting brought hot meals. After eating, Yating washed bowls and chopsticks, did all the housework and went to bed. Mei Fong was tired of seeing Yating say nothing about finding the bracelet. She wanted to question Yating, but she was afraid that Yating forgot to say it, so she put up with it. She wanted to keep watching.

A few days later, Mei Fong met Yating as usual. She wants to try Yating again. Just as she was about to change her shoes for work, she deliberately dropped the gold chain on her feet on the carpet, pretending not to know, and went to work.

After coming back from work at night, Yating still brought hot meals. After dinner, she finished all the housework and went to her room to sleep, but still didn't mention picking up the gold chain. Mei Fong thought, didn't you find the golden anklet? Mei Fong went to the carpet to look for it. The gold chain is really gone. Mei Fong fell asleep with anger in her heart, but she couldn't sleep. She didn't want to tell Binbin about taking an examination of Yating, for fear that Binbin would say that she didn't do well in the exam.

"Binbin, Binbin, are you asleep?" Mei Fong still can't help it, she has a plan in mind.

"What's the matter? I just fell asleep and you woke me up again. What's the matter? " Binbin rolled over, holding the Mei Fong asked.

"Tomorrow, I will dismiss Ting Yi."

"Why? Well, we are not short of money. " Binbin woke up a little sleepy.

"I know, but we are two people now, and we haven't had children yet. We really don't need a nanny. I mean, when we have children, we can invite Aunt Ting again if necessary. Besides, after so many years, Aunt Ting should go back and enjoy her family. Isn't her son getting married soon? " Mei Fong said a lot in one breath. Binbin sat up, picked up the teacup on the table beside the bed, opened the lid, took a long sip of tea, and exhaled as if he had just drunk wine, with mixed feelings in his heart. Over the years, he and Aunt Ting have always loved their mother and son. They really can't bear to leave Aunt Ting, but Mei Fong is right.

At breakfast the next day, Mei Fong just wanted to tell Yating that she was going to be fired when the doorbell rang. Yating opened the door: "Brother and sister Wen, you are early. Come and have breakfast together. I have done your share. "

Binbin and Mei Fong were a little surprised: "Dad, Mom, why are you here? I didn't say anything. " Mei Fong hurriedly called her parents-in-law.

"oh! Today, your aunt Ting will resign and go back. Let's get together and see her off. "

Yating smiled and said, "Brother Wen, sister, it's very kind of you."

"yes! I really can't bear to leave. " Binbin looked at Yating imploringly.

"Silly boy, I really want to meet aunt Christine. I really hope to have time to see Aunt Ting in the future! " Yating smiled.

After breakfast, Yating packed her things, just like when she first came here more than ten years ago. She simply packed a bag and went home.

After Yating left, Mei Fong couldn't wait to say, "Dad, Mom, Aunt Ting ..."

"I know, you child, Mei Fong! Your aunt Ting asked me to give it to you. " Jade plum know interrupted Mei Fong, handed the things wrapped in a handkerchief to Mei Fong.

Mei Fong opened her handkerchief and found that it was two gold chains that she had intentionally lost. There are eight exquisite words written on the white handkerchief: Don't doubt people, don't doubt people!

It turned out that when Yating first picked up the gold chain, she guessed that Mei Fong was testing her. She called the Wenli couple. As a matter of fact, Mr. and Mrs. Wen Li have been here that day.

Mei Fong just held a handkerchief in his hands and bowed his head in shame.
