me It’s Sister Momo. She is 35 years old. She and her husband have been starting a business in Africa for ten years and lead a busy and fulfilling life.
I am an unfortunate woman. I was given away by my parents when I was 4 years old. At that time, I already remembered that when I left my parents, I cried a lot, but my biological parents turned around and left. When he arrived at his new home, he resisted at first and refused to eat or drink. But after all, he was still young and could not stand the temptation of delicious food in the end. He finally chose to live in harmony with his adoptive parents.
My adoptive parents are very good to me. Not only am I the only child in this family, but I also have a brother who is two years older than me. Our brother and sister have been very close since we were young. Although we are not related by blood, my brother treats me like a biological sister. As long as it is delicious, he will let me eat it first.
When I grew up, my brother dropped out of school and worked to earn money for me to study. And I fulfilled my mission, finished college and went to graduate school, and finally graduated successfully. My boyfriend, who we had been dating for four years, got married after graduation. Her husband came from a good family. After the marriage, they went to Africa to start a business and start a life of their own. However, my biological parents were jealous at this time and said they wanted to recognize me, but in the end I chose to refuse.
In 1987, I was born in a small mountain village in Pingliang City, Gansu Province. Because there were many girls in the family, my parents wanted a son. As the third daughter in the family, I was given away the moment my brother was born.
The adoptive parents and biological parents are from neighboring villages, they are familiar with each other, and they had a good relationship before. When I was given away, I was already 4 years old and much more sensible, but I still couldn't escape the sad fate of being far away from my biological parents. Maybe if you grow up in another environment, you will have unexpected life endings.
In fact, I have known since I was a child that I am not my biological child, and my adoptive parents have not shied away from this. Growing up in such an open and honest environment has made my personality very cheerful, and I can accept a lot of pressure that others cannot bear.
At my adoptive parents’ house, I have a brother who is 2 years older than me. My brother looked very dark when he was young, but he was very kind to me. Although he usually kept silent, as long as my adoptive parents bought some delicious pastries, he would always treat me. Save it for me, because he knows that it will be gone after I finish my own, and he would rather not eat it himself, but leave it to me until the end.
One time, the cake my brother left for me became moldy, and I burst into tears. When my adoptive parents found out, they beat my brother angrily, thinking that he was wasting his wealth. However, thinking that he left it for me, my adoptive mother hugged me with heartache. The brothers cried together.
This emotion has moved me since I was a child. I am very talented in learning. As for my biological sisters, I don’t know much about them because my adoptive parents and biological parents seem to have reached a certain tacit understanding. They used to greet each other when they met, but now they are withdrawn.
I am very sensible and know that raising parents is not easy. At that time, every household in rural areas was not very wealthy, so I was competing to see whose family ate white flour steamed buns every day, because every household had little money. So, what I can give back to my adoptive parents is my academic performance.
Growing up, I have always been a girl who is seen as a game by others, and she was also the first female college student in our village. When I was admitted to college, I took the exam, which is now the 985 college.
Girls all love beauty and comparison, and I am no exception. Although I am sensible, I am not stingy at all when it comes to spending money. My brother went to work after finishing high school. He usually saves money and leaves it to me. , and I fulfilled my mission and spent as much as I could, without feeling sorry for my brother's difficulties at all.
As graduate school is coming to an end, I also realize that I need to make changes in my life.
was dating a partner at that time, who was also a top student. His father worked in Africa, so after graduation we got our marriage certificate and went to Africa.
Although we have no work experience, we speak English well. We just started helping our father-in-law at work. After getting familiar with the general environment, we started doing things by ourselves in Kenya and Zambia.
From selling used tires to second-hand clothes to mobile phones, my husband and I have tried many industries in the past ten years, and our income has increased year by year. In 2018, he earned more than 4 million yuan a year.
Once a person has money, he will be envied by others.
After learning that my life was getting better and better, my adoptive mother told me: "Your mother wants to talk to you and say I'm sorry for you all these years..."
As soon as I heard this, I felt uncomfortable. When I got my younger brother, I gave me away. Now that I think I have money, I want to climb high. Where can I find so many good things? I refused to recognize each other. After all, decades have passed and that kind of affection has long been erased.
people, don’t do things you regret. Once you do it, you may not be able to restore the good things you once had.
