Hideko Sookie Biography

Chapter 3 About Maids

Xiuzi and Shuji have been in Shanghai for two months. During this period, they bought a quiet two-story bungalow, and finally moved out of the crowded hotel.There are always people looking at them with different eyes, spying on their behavior intentionally or unintentionally, and guessing their identities and relationships in their hearts.Because no one there can understand Korean, they all deal with people in Japanese, so it is inevitable to label themselves as two Japanese women.That was the reason why he was almost caught as a Japanese spy.The waiters and managers of the hotel are very respectful towards them. Every time they see them, they will stand and bow from a distance. The focus of the field, which makes them very uncomfortable.

When everything settles down, it will be winter. Although it is freezing outside, the interior is very warm. The fire in the fireplace has never been extinguished, and the warm eiderdown covers the body, which is soft and comfortable.Xiuzi woke up with her eyes open, stretched herself comfortably, and looked out of the glass window. It was white outside, and it snowed again last night.She pushed the quilt up, tied the straps of the nightgown, walked out of the bedroom with slippers on, walked through the hall, followed the sound and walked into the kitchen.A pot of shiitake broth sat on the stove, the aroma overflowing from under the lid.Shu Ji was wearing an apron, and her red hands were soaking in cold water to wash vegetables. When she heard footsteps, she turned her head, and her hands were still busy. This place is colder than North Korea, so she has to complete this process quickly. To get out of this biting cold water as soon as possible.

The person behind came in without making a sound, and suddenly a warm body was stuck up from behind, it was Xiuzi, and Shuji could feel that it was a naked body through the clothes.Xiuzi untied her nightgown and wrapped her around her by grabbing the skirts on both sides with both hands.Shuji's whole body had been aired outside for so long, and her clothes were stained with water, which was almost like ice, but Xiuzi used her body to warm her. This thoughtful behavior really moved Shuji, but How could Xiuzi's body bear it?Shu Ji wiped her hands on her body, then turned around and covered her nightgown and tied her belt.Push her out: "Go and change your clothes, it's cold again, wear an extra one today."

Xiuzi still didn't move, "We won't eat vegetables in the future, let's eat them in spring." Shuji: "It's okay if you don't eat vegetables, it's okay, I'm used to cold water in winter, and I've been doing this since I was a child. "Xiu Zi: "Then hire a servant." Shu Ji: "Go and change your clothes first, we will discuss this matter slowly."

They were very unhappy with this breakfast. Xiuzi was angry and refused to eat vegetables. Shuji made all the vegetables for her, but no matter whether she was persuading or coaxing, Xiuzi just didn't put her chopsticks in the plate, and Shuji got her a bowl. She went in, and she was caught out again immediately.This set Shuji's heart ablaze: "You young ladies are really difficult to serve, what do you want?"

Xiuzi put down the bowl and chopsticks, watched her spit out three words: "Please servant."

Regarding this issue, Shuji has considered it carefully. Her idea is that they are new here and they are not familiar with the place. It is not safe to have a stranger at home rashly. The same party, how do they deal with these two weak women?In addition to the language barrier, it would be a problem to ask a servant to come back.Moreover, both of them are good hands and feet, they can take care of themselves, and they don't have to earn money to make a living. Why do they have to hire someone to take care of them when they have a good rest?Hideko is not very good at housework, she just needs to do more.Besides, with such a relationship between them, it would be uncomfortable for an outsider to watch.She had explained these truths to Xiuzi several times, but who knows that this young lady sometimes understands and sometimes does not understand, and she keeps changing her mind when she clearly agrees.

Shuji was really going to be defeated by Xiuzi. She worked so hard to get up early and make her a nutritious breakfast, but in exchange for this result. "I'm tired, go take a rest." Shu Ji didn't want to quarrel, so she got up and left.Although she was lying on the bed, Shu Ji could sleep there. Thinking about her previous life, although she lived a poor life, she was comfortable. How could she really like doing those trivial housework?The whole day is either spent in the kitchen cooking and cooking, or in the bathroom, washing and scrubbing. Such a day would be extremely boring if there is no Xiuzi around.She was patient for Xiuzi, but Xiuzi didn't appreciate it, isn't that too hurtful?

In fact, what Shu Ji didn't understand was that Xiuzi didn't ask her to do this, and it wasn't what Xiuzi needed.

Three days later, Shuji finally gave in, but she was afraid that if she started this way, Xiuzi would have further ideas, so she resolutely declared: "You can only hire one servant, if there is another one, she will not stay here."

The servant was soon recommended. She was a woman about 50 years old, named Song Ma, dressed in plain and clean clothes, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes. She looked honest and responsible, which comforted Shuji a little.

Previously, Shu Ji just felt that it would be inconvenient if there was an outsider in the family, but now she really felt the inconvenience.The most important one is her relationship with Xiuzi. Shuji doesn't want their relationship to be made public in front of the third person, and she doesn't want to endure other people's eyes that look like monsters.But Xiuzi still goes her own way, she doesn't shy away from words or actions, as if the servant is just a piece of furniture in the house.Mama Song didn't understand the language, so she could do whatever she wanted, but her eyes and movements could still reveal a lot.Xiuzi may not realize the pressure of the secular society, which is fearful of people's words, because she stays in a closed space for a long time, but Shuji understands that in order to protect their relationship, she must hide it.Shuji had discussed this matter with Xiuzi, but she said that she could restrain herself that day, but she went back to her old ways the next day.Seeing that her words had little effect, Shu Ji had to work hard on her actions.When staying in a place other than the bedroom, Shuji tried to find something for herself to do, so as to save Xiuzi from unnecessary entanglement, but she couldn't avoid it, so she dismissed Song Mama.Anyway, it is necessary to ensure that three people do not stay in the same space at the same time.Now, whenever Shu Ji heard footsteps behind her, her first reaction was to turn around to confirm which one it was, and then decide her next move.

A month later, Shuji finally got used to this kind of life of always carrying her heart. In fact, it was mainly because Xiuzi really minded seeing her, and slowly adjusted herself to adapt to her.

One day when Shu Ji had nothing to do, she suddenly wanted to teach Xiuzi how to pick a lock. Firstly, it was to pass the time, and secondly, she hadn't done it for a long time, so her hands were really itchy.Xiuzi didn't believe that the few thin wires in her hand could pry open a perfect lock, so Shu Ji triumphantly showed her hands in front of her, and the few small wires were manipulated by her nimble hands. Their suitcases, drawers, and doors were all open.Xiuzi found it fresh and interesting, and she was very interested, clamoring to learn it.Seeing that she likes it, Shu Ji is also willing to teach, so that she can have a good time.She explained the tricks in detail, and taught Xiuzi how to operate.At the beginning, Xiuzi couldn't find the feeling, and Shuji took the trouble to teach it over and over again. After all, not everyone has the talent like her, and can understand it all at once.After two days of teaching, Xiuzi still couldn't figure it out. Shuji looked at her limp hands and sighed in her heart: "This is indeed a young lady's material. Why should I make things difficult for her with these market things?"

Shuji persuaded Xiuzi to give up, but Xiuzi quit. She had to learn. On the third day, she suddenly became enlightened, but it was better not to be enlightened. I don’t know which part of her went wrong. Although the old lock can be opened, it cannot be closed.Shuji's hand is like a key, it can be opened and closed, and the lock is still intact after opening; but Xiuzi's is like a hammer, the lock is broken when opened.She has already broken three boxes, five drawers, and two doors, but this young lady seems to be addicted to it, and she is still not reconciled. Song Ma's bedroom door lock was broken.Now the only good lock left at home is the one on their bedroom door. This is what Shuji has to do her best to keep. This is an important line of defense against Mama Song. If the lock is about to break, Mama Song may not be able to do so at any time. If she broke into their house and saw something she shouldn't see, how should she explain it?How should it end?She must not let such a thing happen, she has already grasped Xiuzi's temper, if you tell her well, she will probably not listen, and she has to find a way to divert her attention.

"Well, Xiuzi, how about we learn how to repair the lock tomorrow, and we can open it when we can repair it."

"Okay." Xiuzi finally compromised.But Shu Ji felt troubled in her heart, "God knows how to fix those damn locks. I didn't have this link when I was learning art. It's only because I was so hot that I recruited these things. Hey! Don't worry, let's go." Take one step at a time, coax her this time first before talking."

Poor Shu Ji couldn't rest in her sleep. She dreamed that the door of their bedroom was knocked down, and when she woke up, she saw many Chinese people crowded at the door with their necks stretched out to stare at them.She woke up in a cold sweat, sat up to gather herself up, and glanced at the people beside her. Through the moonlight, she saw a smile on Xiuzi's sleeping face. It seemed that she was having a sweet dream.She tucked the quilt for Xiuzi, lay down on her side facing her, wrapped her right hand around Xiuzi's body, and held her left hand that was resting on the pillow.Listening to her even breathing, smelling her special smell, I thought to myself: "You are really the big devil I was destined for, nemesis!"
