In 2001, Xiao Jingjing was already a big girl and was in her third year of junior high school. However, there were unforeseen circumstances, and this year, her mother Qi Chunlan fell ill. After an examination in the hospital, the family learned a shocking news: Qi Chunlan suffered from a rare disease.
In order to heal, the whole family is in trouble. However, an even bigger blow followed: Qi Chunlan died, leaving behind the young Xiao Jingjing and her father. Who are Xiao Jingjing's biological parents?
What did they do to Xiao Jingjing? These were the doubts in her heart. As time passed, Xiao Jingjing began to explore her own background. After many investigations, she finally found her biological parents.
However, the indifferent attitude of her biological parents shocked and distressed Xiao Jingjing. They didn't care about Xiao Jingjing's birth and life experience, let alone offer any help and support.
However, despite the disappointment and heartache of her biological parents' indifference, she did not give up on finding her identity and sense of belonging. She firmly believes that her value and ability do not lie in the approval of her biological parents, but in her own efforts and struggles.
After unremitting efforts and perseverance, Xiao Jingjing eventually became a successful entrepreneur and realized her dream. Although she does not recognize her biological parents, her achievements and tenacious spirit make people full of admiration and touch.
Qi Chunlan resolutely refused to accept **, but was insisted by her husband Xiao Chongyang and daughter, and was finally hospitalized to accept **. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy made her sensible, running between school and hospital every day, taking care of her mother, and sometimes even unable to eat or sleep.
Seeing her husband and daughter work so hard for her made her feel full of guilt.
Qi Chunlan understood that she was no longer able to ** disease, but in order to spend more time with her husband and daughter, she insisted. Although her physical condition is deteriorating day by day, in fact, Jingjing is not her and her husband's biological daughter, they picked it up.
However, Qi Chunlan and her husband have no biological children, they have always regarded Jingjing as their biological daughter, because of her, the husband and wife have experienced the happiness of being parents.
Seeing Jingjing grow up safely and healthily, Qi Chunlan is already very satisfied, and now that she is leaving, it is time to tell her about Jingjing's life experience.
After discussing with his wife, Xiao Chongyang decided to tell his daughter the truth. They are worried about what impact this news will have on their daughter Jingjing, and they don't know what choice she will make.
Their hearts were filled with uneasiness. After school, Jingjing went to the hospital to visit her mother as usual. She was just sitting next to her mother, ready to cut fruit for her mother, when her mother held her hand.
Qi Chunlan rehearsed countless times in her heart before telling the secret. Jingjing was right in front of her, but she didn't know how to speak.
The atmosphere at the scene dropped to freezing, and even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly. However, Qi Chunlan didn't expect that Jingjing was just stunned for a moment, and then casually handed the fruit in her hand to her mouth, and said, "I already knew about this matter." ”
Qi Chunlan and her husband were surprised. Over the years, they have been asking Jingjing about it, but Jingjing always laughs and shakes her head.
Until one day, Jingjing overhears the gossip of her neighbors, and she begins to doubt her blood relationship with her parents. After confirmation, she finally learned that she was not biological.
Jingjing once felt lost, but when she realized that she had been abandoned by her biological parents, she chose to accept the reality, treat herself as her parents' biological daughter, and treat them with her heart.
This decision deeply moved Qi Chunlan and Xiao Chongyang, and they saw Jingjing's sensibility and strength.
In December 1987, the couple took the medicine prescribed by the doctor and prepared to go home. Walking out of the door of the hospital, Qi Chunlan saw other parents taking their children to see a doctor, and she was inevitably a little envious.
Although she and her husband have never had children, this does not affect Xiao Chongyang's pursuit of their happy life.
When the two walked to the lawn next to the hospital, Qi Chunlan suddenly heard the cry of a baby. Xiao Chongyang thought his wife had misheard at first, but as they stayed longer and longer, the baby's cry became weaker and weaker.
So, they began to look around eagerly. Eventually, in the back of the trash can, they found an abandoned baby girl. At that time, it was the cold winter wax moon, the outside temperature was low to below zero, and the baby girl was only wrapped in a thin quilt.
When they saw the poor child, their hearts were filled with pity and they decided to take the baby girl home. After returning home, Qi Chunlan immediately put the quilt next to the charcoal fire to bake, and then carefully covered the baby girl.
At the same time, Xiao Chongyang also bought some milk powder and carefully fed it to the baby girl's mouth. Seeing the child's face slowly recover, the two were relieved. After that, they took the child to the vicinity of the hospital for questioning, but the people at the hospital said that they had not seen the child, and that this was usually the case when the cruel parents abandoned him.
On the advice of the doctor, Qi Chunlan firmly decided to adopt the abandoned baby girl and do her best to take care of her. After a doctor's examination, the baby girl was in good health, which made the couple breathe a sigh of relief.
After having children, they have a more purposeful life, a more positive mindset, and an improved physical condition. Xiao Chongyang worked even harder to earn milk powder money for his children.
After many years apart, the husband and wife finally realized the joy of being parents. In order to protect Jingjing, they decided to keep her true identity a secret, claiming that she was their biological daughter.
Although the neighbors around them are in regular contact with them, the fact that Jingjing is not their biological child is not known to outsiders. After having Jingjing, their lives became difficult, Qi Chunlan's physical condition was not good, and the burden of the family completely fell on Xiao Chongyang's shoulders.
In 1990, Xiao Chongyang's cotton textile factory had a dismal business and was fired from the company because he was not well educated. Jingjing is still very young, and in order to support his family, Xiao Chongyang has to look for new job opportunities.
Xiao Chongyang found a job pulling a cart, which was very hard. In order to earn more money, he worked almost from morning to night. At the same time, Qi Chunlan was not idle, they worked hard to raise their child Jingjing in their heavy life, and now Jingjing has reached the age of going to school.
In order to provide for Jingjing to go to school, Xiao Chongyang worked several jobs, and the husband and wife were diligent and thrifty, and finally scraped together enough tuition. For the hard work of her parents, how does Jingjing repay them?
Since she was a child, Jingjing has shown deep gratitude and filial piety to her parents, and she knows that her studies are the greatest reward for her parents.
Jingjing's performance in school is excellent, and she has been rated as the No. 3 student many times, and the award certificate at home is even posted on the wall. Seeing their daughter grow up like this, parents Qi Chunlan and Xiao Chongyang were full of relief.
In 1998, Xiao Chongyang found that the gas tank business was booming, so he chose to become a gas delivery worker. Every day, he carries hundreds of pounds of gas canisters to customers' homes, and although he is tired and exhausted, he still buys snacks for his daughter when he gets home.
The sensible Jingjing will share these snacks with her parents. However, the good times did not last long, and in December 2003, Qi Chunlan died of cancer deterioration, which plunged the family into deep grief.
Before Jingjing's mother died, she held her mother's hand tightly with tears in her eyes and made a deep promise to her mother: "Mom, I will always study hard and become your pride."
I will be with my dad and we will never give up, no matter how hard life is. This commitment made Jingjing study harder, and she was the top student in the school every year, and she won various awards.
Seeing his daughter's outstanding achievements, Xiao Chongyang worked harder and made more efforts for his daughter's future. In 2005, Jingjing lived up to her mother's expectations and was admitted to university with excellent grades.
Xiao Chongyang has barely survived by delivering gas canisters over the years, but he has no savings, and the thousands of yuan in tuition make it impossible for him to raise money for a while. Jingjing understands her family's predicament, and after careful consideration, she decides to give up college, not wanting to be a burden to her father.
However, when she was about to tell her father, his father came to her in high spirits and told her that since learning that his daughter had been admitted, Xiao Chongyang had borrowed money from everywhere and that this was the first time he had asked relatives for help.
Although Xiao Chongyang has been enduring difficulties by himself all these years and does not trouble others, this time the time is pressing, and he has no choice.
Relatives are well aware of the difficulties in the life of Xiao Chongyang's family, and now that their daughter has finally been admitted to the ideal university, they naturally want to support her. Many relatives had already sent money before Xiao Chongyang could speak.
Jingjing held the money that her father had worked so hard to muster, tears flowed, and she silently swore in her heart that she must work hard to make her father live a good life. During her university years, Jingjing studied hard and actively participated in various practical projects, hoping to fulfill her vow as soon as possible.
During her time in college, Jingjing not only devoted herself to her studies, but also successfully found opportunities to earn money part-time. She has a clear plan for her time, not only did not affect her studies because of her part-time job, but she has always maintained excellent grades in her studies, and even was admitted to the graduate school with excellent grades when she graduated.
When she told her father Xiao Chongyang the good news, Xiao Chongyang couldn't believe her ears. Jingjing's success proves that as long as you plan your time wisely, you can learn and make money at the same time.
Xiao Chongyang felt that he had no regrets in this life, and came to his wife's grave with excitement to share the good news that his daughter had obtained a doctorate. ”
At that time, doctorates were extremely rare, and the news of Jingjing's doctorate as an international student was widely reported, and the surrounding neighbors also came to congratulate her. However, just as they are basking in joy, two unexpected guests suddenly visit their home.
...... are you two? When the couple saw Xiao Chongyang, they immediately bowed and thanked them, and then explained their identities, it turned out that they were Jingjing's biological parents.
Xiao Chongyang warmly invited two guests to his home and personally made tea for them. However, in the process of making tea, Xiao Chongyang seemed absent-minded and accidentally poured the tea outside.
At this time, the smart and clever Jingjing took the kettle from her father's hand and took the initiative to ask Ying for help. With Jingjing's help, the tea was finally brewed. However, the couple did not seem to be in a hurry to taste it, but put forward their ideas straight to the point.
According to them, they already had three daughters before giving birth to Jingjing.
When business was sluggish, the couple had to make a painful decision - to abandon their daughter Jingjing. When business improved, they tried to get their daughter back, but they never succeeded.
It wasn't until they learned in the newspaper that their daughter was studying for a Ph.D. that they learned of Jingjing's whereabouts. Although Xiao Chongyang sympathized with the couple's plight, he never gave in on Jingjing's issue.
He believes that although business is sluggish, the responsibility for abandoning his daughter cannot be shirked, and he will not forgive them for Jingjing.
In the face of Xiao Chongyang's resolute attitude, the husband and wife had already expected it and prepared the corresponding solutions. However, when they came up with their request, Xiao Chongyang refused without hesitation.
He made it clear that he would respect Jingjing's wishes, and as long as Jingjing was willing to accept them, he would have no objections. Now, the couple put all their hopes on Jingjing, hoping that she would accept their request.
Xiao Chongyang quietly waited for his daughter's decision, but his heart was full of uncertainty. The biological parents came to the door and the living conditions were superior, but the daughter firmly chose to spend her life with her adoptive parents and did not recognize her biological parents.
The daughter took Xiao Chongyang's hand with a firm gaze, saying that she only recognized her parents who love her now, did not accept the charity and compensation of her biological parents, and would not change her mind because they regretted it now that they came to find themselves.
The daughter and adoptive father refused the money from their biological parents and let them leave.
The husband and wife cherish each other, and Xiao Chongyang is deeply grateful for his daughter's choice. Jingjing promised not to leave him, and was willing to give up her studies in order to take care of her father, settle in Shanghai, and take her father over to live together.
Since then, they have settled down in Shanghai, Jingjing got married and had children, and took care of Xiao Chongyang with her husband, allowing him to enjoy the joy of family.
In 2015, Jingjing's biological parents decided to seek help through the program team after searching for no results, hoping to use the power of ** to make their daughter change her mind and return to them.
However, when they saw their daughter's determination on the show, they finally chose to respect their daughter's wishes. Perhaps because they were full of guilt for their daughter, they never disturbed Jingjing's life again and disappeared from the public eye.
Jingjing's adoptive parents, although they also have three daughters, are not worried about their own old age. 26 years later, Jingjing's biological parents came to her, I don't know if they wanted to make up for the lost family affection, or hoped to improve their social status with the help of Jingjing's relationship.
No matter what their thoughts were, Jingjing would not waver. She is deeply grateful for the selfless dedication and endless love of her adoptive parents, Qi Chunlan and Xiao Chongyang have already become her biological parents in her heart.
For Jingjing, the grace of nurturing is above all else, and she will never regret her choice and will go on with determination.
