Dehua single-handedly brought up several nephews and nieces, his youth burned out, and he married out of his mother's family in his forties, although he married next door, but the nephews and nieces were still full of reluctance and nostalgia for her marriage.
They complained that since their aunt got married, the food in the house had become the food of the old lady during the New Year, and it was getting worse and worse every year.
After marriage, Hua Hua gave birth to Ding Xiaoxiang, which made Dehua's life more complete, and Ding Xiaoxiang became the most favored child in the two families.
Although the children are growing up, their affection for their aunt is deepening, and their feelings for Teckwah have not been diluted by their respective jobs and estrangement.
Wei Dong expressed his deep nostalgia for lying on his aunt's back when he was a child, and he especially liked to smell the smell of his aunt's hair oil. Yafei cares about everything about her aunt, and she cares even more than she cares about her mother. When Yafei got married, the first thing she was grateful for was not her mother, but her aunt's nurturing kindness.
As Teckwah entered old age, he lost his spouse and returned to her birth home, where he became a dependent on his nieces and nephews. In Lao Ding's home, she has spent more than 30 years, as if since Lao Ding's death, her life has no ties and traces.
This situation can't help but make people feel the indifference of Lao Ding's children. Dehua was very heartbroken by the joint burial of Lao Ding and Wang Xiu'e, but Lao Ding's sons behaved very normally and did not have any discomfort.
When Yafei went to them, the two of them looked confused and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with their actions, and their reactions were not just cold, but also stupid.
They are not only cold and ruthless, but they also have no understanding of human feelings and are completely unsympathetic. They just want to bury their biological parents together to end the matter, but no one realizes the predicament and embarrassment that Dehua is in.
Although Teckwoh's intersection with the first three samples may not be frequent, she did play a key role in the four. In addition to the two samples, she helped four other samples raise their next generation.
The three children were sent to Tokuwah's home in just over three months, where they were raised by Teckwah. In the case of Dehua's broken arm, the four children were also cared for with bandages for up to half a year.
Obviously, Dehua's contribution to the Ding family is not inferior to his dedication to his own nephews and nieces. However, the nephews and nieces were deeply grateful for their aunt's kindness throughout their lives, while several of the Ding family's children acted as if they lacked empathy and had no gratitude for Dehua at all.
Wang Xiu'e is the mother of several children of the Ding family, although she is a rough and pungent rural woman, she is kind and warm-hearted at heart, and is very willing to help others. Although Lao Ding has not been satisfactory in his life, he is a humorous person and always helpful.
However, Lao Ding's children all seem cold and uncaring, and they seem dull and clumsy in the face of Yafei's questions, and they can't even say a clear word, which makes them very confused in interpersonal interactions.
He gives people the impression of being cold and dull, without Wang Xiuhe's enthusiasm and wit, nor Lao Ding's eloquence and insight. Although there is a cultural father like Lao Ding, and Lao Ding's position is not low, his descendants should be very good.
However, when we compare several of the Jiang family's children with Lao Ding's children, they come across as both aloof and powerless, so they propose that the parents help take care of the children.
In Jiang Defu's family, Minqing is the person with the lowest social status. Since he and his wife did not have the financial means to raise the child, they entrusted the child to their parents to assist in raising it. The other children understood that he was not of high social status and reached out to help him.
Surprisingly, three of Lao Ding's four sons already had children, and they were all sent home to be cared for by Dehua, indicating that most of their living conditions were not ideal.
Compared with Yafei's endless talk and the National Day military celebration, Lao Ding's sons seem to be shoulder to shoulder when they speak, giving people a greasy and helpless impression of market life.
It is puzzling why there are such significant differences in interpersonal interactions and personalities between two families with similar birth backgrounds.
