The child's grandparents are already old and cannot raise the child at all. The uncles also have many children at home, and they cannot even support their own children, let alone two more.
If we raise them all, they might all starve to death together.
A group of people discussed in the yard and finally came up with this idea.
After Zheng Gouzi heard about it, he asked about the family's character, and then introduced the two children to Qian.
I have to say that the situation of these two children made the mother very excited, and she also wanted to raise a child of her own.
The old man just continued to smoke his pipe and said nothing.
But the aunt knew that he was a little moved, so she struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade: "I thought, we are both less than 50, and now that we have adopted children, we can still watch them get married and have children, and we will have children under our knees when we grow old, right?
?."
"Then how can you guarantee that the adopted children will be filial?"
"It's hard to say. We have trained him since he was a child, and he will definitely be good. And compared to a recognized apprentice, a child is easier to teach. Besides, even if he is unfilial, we still have money in our hands.
Furthermore, if we raise him, especially if we adopt him during a calamity year, it will be a life-saving grace for him. In a sense of justice, he will be despised if he does not support us in his old age."
The first mother's words made the first uncle fall into deep thought. Are you saying that he doesn't want to raise a child of his own? That's definitely not the case.
He has always dreamed of raising a child of his own, a child that belongs to him and his aunt.
As my wife said, it is easier to teach a child than an adult apprentice.
The most important thing is, even if this child grows up to be unfilial, can the couple still not be able to suppress him?
Thinking this way, his heart became more and more excited, but he didn't want to take this step for a while. After all, it takes too long to raise a child.
"Furthermore, your apprentice seemed pretty good in the past few years, but in recent years, it seems a bit unreliable. I have heard people say that he is still messing around outside, and even in his own home.
It’s such a mess, how can we provide for us in our old age!”
"It's nothing." The first master defended his apprentice, but he also agreed with the first lady's words in his heart. It seems that this apprentice should give up and just treat him as an ordinary apprentice from now on.
"Besides, even if you change your apprenticeship, you haven't supported them for a day, so why should they support you in your old age? Even if you accept a good apprentice, they will at most just bring things to see you when they are free. Why?
Maybe they are just like their own children, who surround you every day." The eldest mother raised a big stick, broke all the eldest father's illusions, and made the matter clear.
"Let me think about it again, let me think about it again." The old man stopped smoking, and asked him to think about it again while unconsciously knocking the pipe with his hand.
He had to think again, he had to think again.
Knowing that her husband was moved, the aunt stopped saying anything and just continued to pack the clothes silently.
When going to bed at night, the old man tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. After a long time, he patted the old woman beside him and said, "Let's go see those two children tomorrow."
"Okay." The eldest mother was also a little unable to sleep. Even though she felt that her husband was already attracted, she was not sure when he would make a decision.
And for some reason, she felt that those two children should belong to her family.
She was afraid that if she made the decision too late, the child would be adopted by another family.
When I thought of this, my aunt tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Fortunately, fortunately, I made a decision.
After making the decision, the elder also relaxed. He put his arms around his old wife's shoulders and patted her gently, "Go to sleep. Go to bed early. We will go to see the two children tomorrow."
Not long after saying this, the two of them fell asleep, and woke up the next morning feeling refreshed.
Although they don't remember what they dreamed about, they think it must have been a good dream, because when they woke up in the morning, the corners of their mouths were still smiling.
This sleep was the best sleep they had had in recent years.
As expected, people feel refreshed when they are happy.
Because I got up very early, but the child’s grandparents would not arrive until noon, they could only go there near noon.
The two people who had finished breakfast early could not sit still.
They looked at each other, then found the receipts hidden at home, went to the supply and marketing cooperative, and bought a lot of things suitable for children.
At about 10 o'clock, the two of them couldn't wait to go to the location that Auntie had inquired about in advance.
After entering, I knocked on the door and an old man in his seventies or eighties came out.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Uncle, we are here to see the child."
"Child-sitter, come in." Knowing that they were here to see the child, the old man was both happy and sad.
I am happy that the two children who opened this family still have a way to live, but I am sad that my youngest son is gone, but I can't even support him with his blood, and the children will have to change their surnames in the future.
When she saw the two children in the room, the aunt's eyes suddenly lit up. This was her child, this was the child in her dream.
Seeing the two children, the eldest mother couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged them.
And what's rare is that the two children also have a good impression of the eldest mother. When the eldest mother hugged them, not only were they not afraid, but they hugged them back with her hands.
This performance made the aunt even more happy.
The first man and the first mother talked to the children's relatives about their situation and expressed that they could afford to raise these two children.
[To be honest, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on updates. It allows me to switch between sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]
"You want to adopt two children." The child's relatives asked in surprise. It's not like no one has come to see the children these days, but they all proposed to adopt only one, the boy.
The first man and his wife were the only ones who proposed adopting two children.
The child's two uncles looked at each other, and this time there was a way.
"I'm getting older, and their two brothers have too many children. I can't even support them myself. Some time ago, in order to keep the children alive, I married off my eldest daughter hastily. There's no way I can raise two more."
A child.”
The old man sighed, as long as he was two years younger, he would be exhausted to support these two bloodlines of his younger son.
But he is no longer young now, he is almost 80 years old. It is not easy to be 80 years old in this era.
"We want to adopt these two children, so what do you want from your side? We will try our best to fulfill your request." The first man also felt that the two children were destined to them and couldn't wait to take the children home.
