I remember that it happened more than ten years ago. A young couple moved to our community and rented a living room on the first floor. They were with a child, about 4 years old, and the landlord guessed it was their son at that time.
They soon found a job nearby. The man worked as a porter in the factory and the woman worked as a waiter in a restaurant. But the only problem is that their children don't know who to take care of them.
If sent to kindergarten for care, it would be impossible, but the two of them had a long working hours at that time, and the working hours were overlapping in many cases, so there was still no way to solve the problem of caring for children.
000 A child is feeling uncomfortable and needs adults to take care of him. Moreover, in terms of their financial conditions, this is also a considerable expense.
So, they still don't plan to do this!
When they were in a dilemma, there was a retired old woman in the community who often played with their children. When she saw them frowning, she asked the couple if they had any difficulties and told them to see if her old woman could help.
The husband told the old lady about this situation.
After hearing this, the old lady smiled and said to the couple, if she could trust her, she would give the child to her. Anyway, the child has been playing with her every day recently, and she is very familiar with her. This little naughty is quite attached to her. She can play with her, so there should be no problem.
The husband asked the old lady embarrassedly, does her family agree? Will it affect her life?
The old lady smiled and said, there was no one else in her family, she was the only one...
After hearing this, her husband was embarrassed to ask again, and seemed to understand something.
That's it, the couple handed over the child to the old lady for care.
This old lady is very nice to their children, just like a grandson. She usually has a good time with her and teaches him to read, read, read and play games. Her mother-in-law often tells them that she is very grateful to them.
The mother-in-law said this, which made the couple inexplicably.
A month passed, and the couple realized that they forgot to ask their mother-in-law how much salary they had to pay.
When the couple went to pick up their children, they asked the old lady how much she planned to pay.
The old lady was very abrupt, and then she understood.
She smiled and said no, they brought her such a cute little cutie, enriching her life in her later years, and she should be more grateful to the couple.
The couple politely took out the money to the old lady, but the old lady didn't accept it.
In the end, the couple stopped insisting. They felt that they should take care of the old lady in their daily lives.
So, they often cook and invite the old lady to come to their house for dinner. Sometimes when going out for a trip, they will invite old ladies to travel with them. When the ladies need it, they will actively help the ladies, even if they need to ask for leave from the company and deduct their salary.
Later, through their efforts, the couple's financial conditions improved and they wanted to buy their own house.
The old lady knew they were planning to move away, and her expression seemed very unhappy.
Seeing this, the couple discussed that the old lady should be reluctant to part with the three of them.
So they bought a small two-bedroom apartment in this community, and they were still neighbors with the old lady.
Over the years, they have lived like a family, except that they have not lived together.
Their son has grown up, and the child has long regarded her as his grandmother. Even if he goes out to work now, he often goes back to see the old lady.
One day the old lady left, and the three of them handled all the funerals for the old lady.
What surprised them was that before the old lady left, she actually gave the house she lived in to their son.
