For the rest of my life, it was three people who were not related by blood to warm each other!
Characters: My little Hair Ping, her adoptive father, her step-adoptive mother!
More than 40 years ago, Yuping's adoptive father was one of the few rural middle school teachers in the village. At that time, I was still young, and I didn't know much about her adoptive father, but I remember that occasionally someone would scold him for being a "stinky old nine", and his signature characteristic was to laugh "hahaha" when someone spoke.
Stinky Lao Jiu's own conditions are not bad, in the eighties, has slowly begun to respect teachers and education, it is very good to have a salary, may be affected by historical problems, he married a family very late, married a thin and small foreign woman who is not a good match for him, that's all, I heard the elders say that he was married even if it was late, but the wife he married would not have children, so the trustee raised a baby girl from the hospital, which is my hair small - Yuping!
Yuping has been very well-behaved and cute since she was a child, and her family lives very comfortably. With her adoptive father's decent salary, Yuping's living standard is better than ours, and the family built a new house early.
At that time, I was very envious of her, because she had a beautiful down jacket every year, and I could only put my grandmother or mother's sewn padded jacket under the thin coat, because she had a new badminton racket and bicycle, and it was only after I begged countless times that my father bought a second-hand kun car for me from the village where the old bicycle was sold, because she could always run to my house to play with me during the autumn vacation or on weekends, and I couldn't walk ......away because I had to help my parents do the farm work I could
The only difference is that I studied hard by myself and was admitted to middle school and university, while Yuping dropped out of school after finishing primary school, which is also something I have never understood, the children of teachers did not insist on studying, and even compulsory education was not completed!After graduating from elementary school, she went to a tailoring class, then got married early and had children, and later heard that she also went to the city, but we never kept in touch again, let alone met.
A few years ago, when I went back to my hometown, I heard that Yuping's adoptive mother had died, and I heard her news again that her adoptive father had married a wife, 18 years younger than him, and Yuping's step-adoptive mother often chatted with everyone at the mouth of the alley, and every time she said it, "He is 18 years older than me, what are you afraid of, he loves me, and every day I don't get up, hot milk and boiled eggs are sent to the bed, his pension is so high, we can't spend the ......."”
What can others say, the rural mothers-in-law are actually envious in their hearts, and they can only say behind their backs, "Although Yuping's adoptive mother had a good life back then, she was not blessed without this step-adoptive mother!."”
Speaking of which, she is also a poor person, her husband was paralyzed in bed in his forties, and he waited for a few years to send away her husband to raise the children, and she married Yuping's adoptive father when she was almost fifty years old.
It was also later that I heard her talk about Yuping's situation: she gave birth to two daughters, bought two or three houses in the city, and lived a good life, but she never had a stable job, and occasionally came back to see her adoptive parents.
Life is like this, who would have thought that three unrelated people from all over the world would get together and give each other the titles of daughters and parents, maybe Yuping didn't know her life experience in this life, so why bother?!It is better to raise relatives than to raise relatives, and the grace of nurturing is greater than heaven!
