No one expected that a Little Nanny from the countryside would be able to enter a High-Gate Household in Jingdu and marry a Research Big Shot.
To be honest, Zhu Xin didn’t expect it either.
She was a modern Corporate Drudge who worked overtime into the night for a mere Pittance Wage just to stay fed. One day, she woke up and found herself in the Sixties Era, a time lacking both food and clothing.
Her family lived in a Bare Walls Home. Her father and grandparents all practiced Son-Preference, and she had several younger siblings all squeezed together in the same space.
On the day Zhu Xin woke up, she was being jilted by the fiancé she had been betrothed to since childhood, simply because he had managed to latch onto a White-Rich-Beautiful Young Miss of a military officer in Jingdu.
Knowing he was in the wrong, the fiancé introduced Zhu Xin to a job as a Little Nanny in a High-Gate Compound in Jingdu to appease her family. In addition to paying compensation and offering gifts, the job paid about thirty yuan a month, which was comparable to the salary of a Formal Worker in the city.
In an era where the policy of Downsizing Workers to Countryside was being implemented everywhere, such a high salary for a nanny was undoubtedly a Pie from Heaven for the Zhu family. Zhu Xin’s father made the decision to accept without a second thought.
What they didn’t know was that the fiancé’s family had malicious intentions. Among those Zhu Xin had to care for was a Vegetative Person who lay in bed unconscious, requiring help with every basic need.
This Vegetative Person had an unspeakable identity, and his family members were all hot-tempered “monsters.”
He had a Soviet-Educated Wife who had Died in Childbirth, leaving behind a newborn infant Crying for Feeding and in need of care.
By becoming a nanny for that family, Zhu Xin would have to care for both an adult and a child; she was bound to suffer.
Naturally, Zhu Xin didn’t believe in a Pie from Heaven, but compared to staying in her rural hometown to engage in a Battle of Wits and Courage against a group of Nasty Relatives while remaining Idle About, she preferred to pack her bags and go to Jingdu to work as a nanny. At the very least, she could support herself through her own abilities.
However, when she saw the man lying on the hospital bed, with features as handsome as a man in a Pictorial, her shock was anything but minor.
It was actually him—one of the Research Big Shots who had made enormous contributions to the country.
His name resonated across the entire nation, but she never expected that the White-Haired old man seen in the Newspaper would look so young in this era.
Without Hesitation, she began to take care of this big shot.
Under her meticulous care, the man who had been bedridden for a long time regained consciousness in less than half a year.
The first thing the man did after waking up was to say in a Hoarse Voice Like Broken Gong—unused for so long: “When you bathe me, stop washing there. If you keep washing it, you’ll have to take responsibility for me.”
Zhu Xin: …
It was just Within-Duty Work, why are you being so sensitive?
