Qu Mingcong took the medicine back to the ward and received a WeChat message from the nanny.

The nanny said she wanted to resign.

He looked at the message for a long time, thought about it, and called directly.

The first dialing was not connected, but the second time the other end was delayed.

"Mr. Qu... I'm really sorry. I know that resigning at this time will cause you trouble, but you also know your mother's situation. Oh... I really can't take care of you, so you'd better find someone else."

Qu Mingcong raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, and said helplessly: "Auntie Xiao, my mother was just hospitalized and you suddenly quit. It's hard for me to find a suitable person immediately."

"Ah... I know, I know... I won't quit immediately. I will do it in the cleaning and cooking at home these days! I, I will do it this weekend, do you think..."

At the end of the speech, he showed a cautious expression of weakness.

Qu Mingcong doesn't like to force others, and he doesn't like to pester others repeatedly, but the helplessness of life is in front of him, so he can only continue to discuss: "This way, you can do it until the end of the month. My mother is hospitalized during this period, and she is taken care of by nurses and nurses. You only need to make some dishes my mother likes to eat, and send them to the hospital for two meals in the morning and evening, and then talk to her, which will not make you embarrassed."

The other party hesitated: "At the end of the month..."

"It's better to give me a buffer period until the end of the month. If you change your mind at the end of the month and don't plan to leave, you can continue to work at my house." Qu Mingcong paused and slowed down his tone, "This time the house caught fire, thanks to you extinguishing the fire in time, otherwise the burns on my mother would definitely be worse. So, I'll subsidize you another 800 yuan this month, which is a little thanks."

The nanny was speechless and felt a little embarrassed.

In fact, the nanny knew in her heart that Qu Mingcong was already very kind. If she encountered an unreasonable employer, such a thing would be necessary to complain and claim. Who would take care of the nanny as a normal human, and also had the need to urinate and defecate? She would only think that she was irresponsible for her work.

The nanny said hesitantly: "Then... I will do it until the end of the month, and I will leave when you find the right person. In fact, your mother is easy to take care of and is easy to get along with, but sometimes she... sometimes she gets sick, and I really can't get it..."

Qu Mingcong listened quietly to her, "Well, thank you for your hard work during this period."

...

After making the phone call, Qu Mingcong put down his cell phone, lowered his head and rubbed his eyebrows, feeling exhausted from the inside and outside.

He used to be able to keep his energy alive in order to arrest the thugs for two days and two nights, but now he seems to be in a breath of breath and is powerless.

"Xiao Xiao quit?"

The woman on the bed suddenly spoke.

Qu Mingcong was slightly stunned, with a smile in his eyes, "Mom, are you awake?"

"Yes." Qu Wan opened her eyes, her face was muted, and her voice was also dull.

"What am I doing?" she asked looking at the ceiling.

Qu Mingcong replied half-jokingly: "I didn't do anything, I just burned the kitchen and then had a fight with Aunt Xiao."

Qu Wan frowned, recalled for a moment, and muttered: "Her little body must not beat me."

Qu Mingcong is tall and mainly inherited from his mother. Qu Wan doesn't wear shoes. Although she becomes much thinner after getting sick, she dances and makes it difficult for the nanny to withstand it.

"Yes, I can't beat it." Qu Mingcong smiled and agreed, "Next time I have to find a stronger aunt to take care of you."

Qu Wan frowned without saying a word.

After a while, she turned over and said to Qu Mingcong with her back: "You go quickly and get on your business."

"Well, I'll get the medicine out before leaving." Qu Mingcong said.

Qu Wan lay down without saying a word.

There are many kinds of medicines to take every day, some medicines once a day, some medicines three times a day, some medicines must be taken after meals, and some medicines must be taken before going to bed.

Qu Mingcong specially bought a medicine box and sorted the medicines he wanted to take each time according to the time period to prevent Qu Wan from taking them randomly when she was confused.

While counting pills into the medicine box, he said to Qu Wan slowly: "The gas at home is temporarily turned off. I want to change it to an induction cooker in the future. I may be a little uncomfortable when I use it at the beginning, but it is safer than before. Now many smart home appliances are done well... I will buy a smart soup pot, which is convenient."

Qu Wan didn't respond.

He knew that his mother was probably pretending to be asleep again, so he didn't care. He divided the medicine and placed the medicine box on the low cabinet next to the hospital bed, then stood up and said, "I'll go back first, come here around six o'clock in the evening."

Qu Mingcong walked to the door, and then Qu Wan moved uneasyly and said in a weak voice: "I just want to make a scallion pancake."

His steps stopped and he heard the whispering people on the hospital bed, his voice tightly wrapped with grievances: "When I was a child, my mother often made scallion pancakes for me, and it was so delicious."

Qu Mingcong looked back at her and was speechless for a moment.

Since Qu Wan got sick, her personality has changed a lot. In the past, she opened a shop to support her family. She was a cheerful and powerful boss lady, but now she often talks about her grandmother, like a little girl who wants to act coquettishly with her mother at any time.

But my grandmother has been dead for many years...

He felt uncomfortable, so Qu Mingcong lowered his head and left the ward and closed the door gently.

He stood outside the ward, thinking about what he would do next - to go home to pack up the toiletries and change laundry for hospitalization, buy paint and ask workers to repair the blackened wall in the kitchen, contact the housekeeping company to arrange a new nanny, and the office is going to go there, so Wang Wei can't be alone.

He had a headache when he thought of finding a new nanny.

Nowadays, it is difficult to find suitable nannies. They need to examine their character and coordinate their working hours. Even if he doesn't pick anything, the nanny may still pick on him.

When many nannies choose employers, they don’t consider going to go at all when they hear that they have Alzheimer’s disease at home.

Fine and complicated fill Qu Mingcong's daily life.

After a while, he went to the office with a pack of toiletries—not far away, just downstairs of his community, sandwiched between a convenience store and a pet hospital.

The name is also very down-to-earth, and it is called Wang Xiaoming Investigation Office.

"Wang" refers to the friend who grew up with him, Wang Wei.

"Xiao Ming" refers to him.

A year ago, he left the SWAT special police force. Wang Wei was urging him to find a job by his parents. Wang Wei didn't fall in love with work, so he pulled him to open the investigation firm. Since then, he has played games, videos, and watched live broadcasts in the firm every day from 9 to 5 every day.

Although he is still not doing his job properly, he is still a class. Since then, Wang Wei's parents have never urged him to work.

When Qu Mingcong walked into the office, Wang Weizheng watched the live broadcast on his mobile phone with his legs raised.

Seeing Qu Mingcong come back, Wang Wei quickly put down his legs, buckled the flip-flops and asked in front of Qu Mingcong, speaking in a velocity, "How is it? Are your mother okay? What do the doctor say? I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Fortunately, it's nothing serious. I'll stay in the hospital for a few days." Qu Mingcong put the big bag in his hand on the sofa, walked to the water dispenser and poured himself a glass of water, "You go back, I'll lock the door later."

The office is open until six o'clock in the evening. When the door is closed, he can go to the hospital again.

"Then I'll go back to have dinner first. Have you eaten?" Wang Wei put his cell phone key in his hand and was about to go home. He glanced at Qu Mingcong again, "...Why don't you go back with me and eat together. My mother made sheep scorpion hotpot today."

"No, I'll go to the hospital for a meal later." Qu Mingcong put down the water cup and asked casually, "Is there any business in the afternoon?"

"There is no business, there are only two cats looking for cats. I'll put the information form on your computer desktop." Wang Wei said with a sigh, "There are more and more cats recently. Maybe there are some perverts living in the community who abuse cats... Oh, by the way, have you heard that? The urban legend of the cat-headed girl."

"Woman with a cat head?" Qu Mingcong sat down in front of the computer desk, moved his mouse to find the file, and clicked to open it.

"No!" Wang Wei vividly described, "The legend of the cat-headed girl means that after 11 o'clock in the evening, a woman carrying a headless dead cat will appear on the side of the road. If someone asks her, she will raise the headless dead cat in her hand, ask the other party, lend me your head~~lent your head~~"

Wang Wei clamped his throat and pretended to shout a few words.

Qu Mingcong was focusing on the information sheet, but he didn't react. Seeing this, Wang Wei felt bored, shrugged and left.

Currently, the firm mainly relies on two types of business support, one is to investigate extramarital affairs and find mistresses, and the other is to find missing pets.

The former often has a generous reward, while the latter has a small amount of money but a large amount.

The first information sheet is to find pregnant stray cats. The customer wants to find the orange cats that he feeds on weekdays, and plans to take care of the female cat after giving birth, then take them to sterilize, and then find adoption for the kitten.

There are photos of cats on the data sheet and places where this stray cat often appears, so there is great hope of finding it.

Qu Mingcong had a rough idea and opened the second information sheet.

A string of numbers came into view, and Qu Mingcong couldn't help but be stunned.

The firm's price list is set by him. The price of looking for pets usually hover between 500 and 800 yuan, with a deposit of 200 yuan. Regardless of whether the pet can be found, the deposit will not be refunded. If it is found, the remaining balance will be paid.

But the owner of this cat actually paid a deposit of 1,000 directly, and the reward after the matter was completed was 10,000 yuan.

Could it be any precious variety?

He dragged the mouse down, and the pet photo column was just an ordinary white earth cat.

Qu Mingcong wanted to ask Wang Wei, but when he looked up, he saw that the guy had already left.

No matter what, it is always a good thing to have money to make a fortune, so Qu Mingcong continued to read the information form.

The screen of the phone suddenly lit up.

He glanced at it and it was an app called Sweetheart Girlfriend popped up. There was a beautiful girl with twin ponytails standing in the pink game interface. Her cherry mouths opened and closed and spoke: "Qu Mingcong, listen to me..."

Qu Mingcong frowned and reached out to take his cell phone-

"I know these words may sound ridiculous and incredible. I am a little confused now... Alas, anyway! Please listen carefully to me, I am absolutely not kidding!... I am actually a person, do you understand? A real human, I don't know why I am in your phone, and it seems that there is an invisible power to trap me... Uh, I just studied it carefully. You installed a love game called Sweetheart Girlfriend on your phone. I am in the body of the newly created character in this game. The character level is too low and there are very few permissions. I don't know how to leave here. Can you click the icon in the lower right corner to buy the first gift package for me, which is only 16.8 yuan..."

Qu Mingcong connected to the data cable, plugged it into the computer, and opened the antivirus software.

"My mother is hospitalized, the kitchen is burned, the nanny is about to quit, and now there is another thing, the phone is poisoned." He looked unhappy and was in a bad mood.
