I hate them.
They all treat me like a nanny.
The second son gave me a supermarket card worth 500 yuan.
He said, "Nanny, thank you for taking care of my mom."
The third son gave me a box of chocolates and a bag of grapes.
He said, "Nanny, you take good care of my mom."
The eldest son gave me a red envelope with 100 yuan inside.
He said, "Nanny, Happy New Year."
I am not happy.
I don't care to be their nanny.
But I am afraid of losing my job.
I am afraid no one will pay my rent.
I am afraid of going hungry.
I am afraid no man will like me.
I am afraid of growing old alone.
I am afraid of dying without a burial place.
I am scared; I am really scared.
When Chen Ruichun knocked on the door, I was cutting Granny Liu's hair.
He stood at the door, timidly asking, "Sister, do you need a haircut? I'm an apprentice, free haircuts."
He is really good-looking.
His tone is gentle, and his smile is shy.
I invited him in and continued cutting Granny Liu's hair.
He accidentally cut Granny Liu's earlobe.
I said, "It's okay; she can't feel it anyway."
I covered Granny Liu with a towel.
He washed my hair, massaged my shoulders, and kneaded my temples.
Although his skills were quite clumsy, I felt warm inside.
He called me "Sister."
He said, "Sister, you are really beautiful."
He said, "Sister, do you live alone?"
I replied, "Yes, I'm a single mother. I'm not married yet."
He asked me, "Where is your child?"
I said, "At my mom's house."
He asked, "What about your mom?"
I replied, "She's dead."
He looked at me with eyes full of pity.
I looked at him in the mirror.
Our gazes intertwined.
My heart raced.
It had been many years since a man had looked at me like that.
He said, "Sister, your hair is really nice."
I responded, "My skin is even better."
He rinsed my hair.
He caressed my arm.
He asked me, "Sister, how old are you?"
I said, "36."
In fact, I was already 46.
I was lying.
Like an Old Ma, I was deceiving a man who was ten years younger than me.
Chen Ruichun often comes to my house.
Sometimes he comes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon.
He always brings a toolbox with him.
He says, "Sister, it's time to cut your hair."
He says, "Sister, I brought some conditioner for you to try."
He says, "Sister, the company gave me a bottle of essential oil; it's for you."
Sometimes he cuts my hair.
Sometimes he washes my hair and gives me a massage.
He brings me many gifts.
Shampoo, body wash, towels, and even once, he gave me a lipstick. I will invite him to dinner as a return for his free haircut. When he is around, I am very gentle with Granny Liu. I won't tie her to the wheelchair with a cloth strip. Even if she falls, Chen Ruichun will rush over immediately to help her up. He says, "Sister, you are so nice." He says, "Sister, you are like an angel." He says, "Sister, a kind woman like you will definitely marry a rich man." His compliments make me feel elated. I really think I am quite wonderful. I start taking care of Granny Liu like Old Ma's daughter would. I bought her a set of skincare products for 300 yuan. Every day, I wipe her face, hands, and body. I apply hand cream for her. I comb her hair and style it beautifully. I keep her nails neatly trimmed. I take care of her like a princess. Of course, not as frequently or as meticulously. I only do this when Chen Ruichun is around. When Chen Ruichun is not there, I am still quite lazy.
