The devil is by your side

Chapter 110 Director Ouyang's Conditions

Hearing Director Ouyang's answer, Xia Luoluo's heart suddenly became cold.

"Mr. Ouyang, please think again. Luo Luo has put in a lot of effort to win this quota, please help her!" Qiao Arthur hurriedly said good things for Xia Luoluo, "Or because you have already Promise to Master Long?"

"It's nothing to do with that kid Long Zeye. I just scolded him on the phone just now. I have nothing to do every day. Why don't I do more good deeds? Is it interesting to calculate every day?"

Mr. Ouyang snorted coldly, and issued an order to drive them away, "Okay, that's all I want to say, you can go, stand here and do nothing, and get in the way!"

"Director Ouyang, please give me another chance, please tell me, what do I need to do, so that you can help me and support me to go to Japan for exchange and study?" Charlotte did not give up, and turned to Director Ouyang again He bowed and said.

She kept bowing, she had already decided that if Director Ouyang refused to agree to her, she would not get up.

"You little girl, why are you so stubborn." Granny Miao sighed, shook her head and said, "Teacher Ouyang, you should say something, it's not good for a child to bow to you all the time."

"If she wants to bow, let her bow all the time. Anyway, I won't agree." Director Ouyang said angrily.

"Then add me, please think again." Master Qiao also bent down.

"It's up to you!" Director Ouyang snorted coldly, and he didn't care about the two of them, just as if they didn't exist, he continued to massage Granny Miao's legs, and said while massaging: "Grandma, your leg was injured in the early years. If it was not treated in time, the root cause of the disease was left behind. If it were now, it would have been cured a long time ago, and it would never be like it is now, being old and paralyzed in bed."

"At that time, how can it be compared with now? The times are different." Granny Miao said cheerfully: "And I was very lucky. I met a kind person like Mr. Ouyang, and I was taken care of when I was old and paralyzed. If I die, someone will die, even if I die, I must die with a smile, so I can rest in peace." Granny Miao said with a smile.

Director Ouyang massaged Granny Miao for half an hour before she let go of her atrophied legs and turned her face to Charlotte and Joe Arthur who were still bowing and said, "Okay, you two Stand there stupidly, little girl, come here and wash Granny Miao's feet with hot water. Master Qiao, go and fetch another bucket of hot water, and cooperate with this girl to wipe Granny Miao's body later.

"Yes!" Charlotte quickly followed Director Ouyang's instructions and came over to pour water for Granny Miao to wash her feet, while Director Ouyang took Joe Arthur and asked him to go downstairs with a bucket to turn on the water.

"Mother-in-law, I'll help you wash your feet." Charlotte lifted up the white-haired, loose-skinned and wrinkled Granny Miao, and then poured hot water and cold water and mixed them to make warm water. The mother-in-law's deformed and thin legs put her feet in the basin.

Xia Luoluo squatted at Granny Miao's feet, washing her feet wholeheartedly.

Granny Miao looked at Xia Luoluo's serious appearance, and couldn't help asking: "Little girl, why do you have to go to Japan to study? Isn't it good to go to school in our own country? Back then, in order not to be subjugated slaves, we ordinary people But desperately resist the little devil."

"Grandma Miao, you misunderstood me. I didn't learn from them because I admired them." Xia Luoluo said, "I just want to go out and have a look, broaden my horizons, and gain some knowledge. I have put in so much effort for this quota. If I deny all my efforts because of a sentence from a certain privileged class, I can’t swallow it. Granny Miao, in fact, I also think that our country is the best. This is our The motherland, just like our mother, how can there be a child who dislikes his mother in this world!"

After listening to Xia Luoluo's words, Granny Miao grinned and said with a toothless mouth: "Little girl, it turns out that you just wanted to gamble, but you are right, we are the best in China. Xiao Girl, how old are you this year?"

"Grandma Miao, I am 16 years old."

"You are 80 years younger than me. Granny Miao, I am exactly 96 years old this year." A bright smile appeared on Granny Miao's wrinkled face.

"Wow!" Charlotte's eyes widened.

"Grandma, how did your leg get hurt?" Looking at the deformed leg in her hand, Charlotte asked curiously.

"It's not all caused by the little devils." Granny Miao narrowed her eyes and recalled: "I think back when I was young, my mother-in-law, the world was bad at that time, and the little devils were unpopular and sent troops to invade our China. My mother-in-law and I were born at that time. My parents and brothers were brutally slaughtered by the little devils. I survived by luck. What kind of hardships have I never experienced? I just want to drive away the little devils. The children will not have to suffer the hardships we have suffered. We ordinary people can live a good life and don’t have to worry about it anymore. My legs are fighting When I was bombed by the little devil's shell, my old man died in that battle. When I was young, I could walk two steps with a limp. Now that I am old, I can't walk at all. I become a useless person. .”

"Grandma Miao, you are not a useless person, you are a hero!" Xia Luoluo looked at Granny Miao adoringly and said loudly.

"Compared with the past, the good life now is really something that we didn't even dare to think about at that time. It's a pity that our old man died early and he can't see it anymore. You young people must cherish the good life now and build our motherland. become stronger, and will no longer be bullied by others." Granny Miao patted Xia Luoluo on the shoulder and said.

"Grandma Miao, I remember everything you said!" Charlotte said firmly.

Granny Miao was chatting with Charlotte when she saw Director Ouyang walking in with Joe Arthur carrying a bucket of hot water.

"Okay, little girl, help my mother-in-law to wipe her body. Remember, after wiping with warm water, you must use a dry towel to wipe off the moisture on her body. Mother-in-law has been bedridden for a long time, otherwise she will easily get bedsores." Director Ouyang ordered: "Master Qiao, take the footwashing water downstairs and throw it away."

Xia Luoluo hurriedly wiped off the water drops on Granny Miao's feet, then helped Granny Miao take off her clothes and wiped her body.

For the first time in his life, Joe Arthur picked up someone else's footwashing water and went to pour the footwashing water.

Xia Luoluo carefully helped Granny Miao wipe her body, put on clean clothes, and worked for more than an hour to complete the task entrusted to her by Director Ouyang. Her fair forehead was covered with sweat.

"Okay, let's call Teacher Ouyang." Granny Miao said to Xia Luoluo with a smile.

"Yes." Charlotte called Joe Arthur who was waiting outside the door, and the two brought down the dirty water together, and then called Director Ouyang.

"Grandma Miao, why did you ask me to come?" Director Ouyang asked.

"Teacher Ouyang, don't blame me for being troublesome. I have to say something fair for this little girl." Granny Miao said, "Just now, I can see that you deliberately wanted to test them, not really trying to embarrass them. So, don't be so stubborn all the time, just help this girl and agree to her going to Japan for exchange and study."

"Grandma Miao, today's young people are becoming less and less patriotic, how can you not dissuade them, but support them instead!" Director Ouyang stared.

"The times are progressing. It would be nice to always close the country and become like the Qing Dynasty? Besides, I think young people just take this opportunity to go out and see how foreigners study, live and work, and at the same time let those foreigners People look at what our China is like now, and see that our young people are no worse than theirs, and even better than theirs!" Granny Miao said.

"Huh!" I think what Granny Miao said is also very reasonable, but Director Ouyang is not willing to be persuaded so easily, and still refuses to say a soft word, "That's good, I'm not an unreasonable person. Two people have a chance, these three days you stay in the nursing home to help, if you perform well, maybe I will vote for it at the meeting three days later."

Hearing Director Ouyang's words, Xia Luoluo was overjoyed.

"Yes! Director Ouyang, please rest assured, I will definitely do a good job!" Charlotte promised loudly.

"Hmph, my ugly words are up front. If you cheat and play tricks and don't work hard, I will absolutely vote against it!"

"Mr. Ouyang, don't worry, we will work hard to complete the work you have given us, and we will never steal or play tricks." Joe Arthur also nodded, and promised sincerely.

"In the past few days, you, a little girl, are responsible for bathing, wiping, feeding, and changing clothes for the elderly living in the nursing home. Master Qiao is responsible for turning on the water for the elderly, pouring bath water, delivering meals, and carrying the elderly to the yard on time every day. There are [-] old people in the whole nursing home, among whom they are paralyzed in bed and unable to take care of themselves. There are five old people who need your care. If an old man says that you are not taking good care of them after three days, I will definitely not Vote for this little girl!" Director Ouyang emphasized repeatedly with a straight face.

After finishing speaking, Director Ouyang took Charlotte and Joe Arthur to the rooms of the other four old people. Charlotte quickly took out a small notebook and recorded the old man's name, room number and living habits in detail.

Director Ouyang led them around, stopped and asked, "Do you remember everything?"

"Yeah, I've written it all down, and I won't forget it." Charlotte said, raising the notebook in her hand.

"It's useless to memorize it in a notebook, you have to memorize it in your head." Director Ouyang snorted coldly and said critically.

"Uh...yes, Director Ouyang, I will try my best to keep all these in my mind." Charlotte nodded quickly.

"Okay, I'll take you to the dormitory where you lived for the next three days." Director Ouyang finished speaking, then turned around and took Charlotte and Joe Arthur downstairs.
