From ancient times to the present, as we all know, the grace of parents is greater than the sky, and this grace of parents is ultimately the grace of birth, the hardship of mothers conceiving in October, and the pain of parents raising children and adulthood, which every child should remember.
However, if one day there is a conflict between birth and grace, how should we choose?
Hubei girl Xiao Jingjing encountered such a problem, so what kind of choice did she make?
On the way to see a doctor, the couple encountered an abandoned baby girl
On December 24, 1987, Qi Chunlan and her husband Xiao Chongyang found an abandoned baby on their way to the hospital, which was Xiao Jingjing.
At that time, on the occasion of the arrival of the New Year, the weather was severely cold, Qi Chunlan because of her perennial health, so she needed to go to the hospital regularly to get medicine, on December 24th, she and her husband made an appointment to go to a local hospital in Xiaogan after work to get medicine, just when the couple arrived at the hospital gate, they suddenly stopped.
Qi Chunlan tugged at her husband's cuff and asked, "Is there a child crying?" ”
Perhaps because the weather was too cold at that time, Xiao Jingjing, who was still in her infancy, was intermittently crying.
Therefore, after listening to his wife's words, her husband Xiao Chongyang stopped and listened carefully for a while, except for the sound of the wind, he did not hear anything, just when the husband and wife both thought they had heard wrong, a real baby cry suddenly came from the corner of the hospital.
Qi Chunlan and her husband Xiao Chongyang glanced at each other, and then walked quickly to the corner of the hospital.
Sure enough, the couple found an abandoned baby girl in the corner of the wall, that is, Xiao Jingjing.
Because of her poor health, Qi Chunlan did not have her own children for a long time after marrying her husband, and later because her physical condition became more and more bad, she gave up the idea of having children.
Perhaps because of this, the couple especially likes children, so whether it is for the children of relatives and friends or the children of the neighbors, the two will always stop and tease for a while.
And this time, when Qi Chunlan saw Xiao Jingjing, who was left in the corner, her first reaction was to take off her coat and wrap up the baby girl, the couple looked around, but did not find a figure, it seems that the person who lost the child has been gone for a while.
At this time, Xiao Jingjing in the swaddling had already frozen blue, and Qi Chunlan, who was flooded with maternal love, was distressed, so the two could not care about anything else, so they had to hold the baby girl together to get medicine first.
After taking the medicine, Qi Chunlan and his wife looked at the little girl in their arms and made trouble, they waited at the hospital gate for a long time, almost everyone who passed by was asked by them, even the doctors in the hospital.
Despite this, they were unable to find the baby girl's family.
In desperation, the couple had to temporarily take the child home first, because Qi Chunlan had not given birth, so there was no milk, and in desperation, Qi Chunlan had to consult with her husband and feed it with rice paste first.
The next day, Qi Chunlan went to the hospital again with the swaddled baby in the morning, and she wanted to try to see if she could find the child's relatives or acquaintances, but unfortunately, after waiting for a day, it was still fruitless.
In this way, Qi Chunlan held the young Xiao Jingjing at the hospital gate for nearly two weeks, but failed to find the child's relatives, and it was at this time that the husband and wife were sure that the child was indeed abandoned.
Just when Qi Chunlan was hesitating how to place this baby girl, the neighbor's words woke up the couple, "Since you two have no children, why don't you adopt her?
The so-called words awaken the dreamer, Qi Chunlan thought twice, and also understood that this child is most likely abandoned by the parents, after all, in the environment at that time, many families still have the bad habit of preferring sons to daughters, coupled with the fact that the state has just promulgated a family planning policy, many families have girls who deliberately abandon and want to have another son.
Thinking of this, Qi Chunlan couldn't help but start to feel sorry for the swaddling girl.
Adopt baby girls and raise adults
Therefore, Qi Chunlan told her husband Xiao Chongyang about his idea of adopting this baby girl, and after Xiao Chongyang listened, he looked back at the infant girl in the swaddling and found that the child actually smiled at him, and at that moment, he felt an invisible line linking them together.
In this way, the couple decided to adopt the child and decided to name her Xiao Jingjing.
Before Xiao Jingjing came to this home, Xiao Chongyang and Qi Chunlan's lives were overstretched, Qi Chunlan was not in good health, unable to work, and also had to take regular medicine for examination, and the family's expenses fell on Xiao Chongyang's shoulders.
Fortunately, some of the money he earned working in the canteen was barely enough to maintain the family's basic expenses, however, after Xiao Jingjing came home, his meager salary was obviously unable to support the family's expenses.
The roof leaked during the overnight rain, and the canteen enterprise where Xiao Chongyang worked was unfortunately laid off because of the reform and layoffs, and in order to support his wife and daughter, Xiao Chongyang could only find another livelihood.
Later, he began to send gas from house to house to make money, but perhaps because he was overworked when he was young, xiao Chongyang's physical condition was not very good after he reached middle age, but in order not to worry his wife, he had been hiding his physical condition.
Sending gas is a hard job, plus there are many old residential areas around, sometimes Xiao Chongyang carries the gas canister to climb several floors, tired can only stop for a while, and then continue to climb.
In this way, Xiao Chongyang used the money he earned from sending gas cans to feed the family, and for this adopted daughter, the couple also hurt in their hearts.
Despite the family's constraints, but the couple tried their best to give Xiao Jingjing the best they could give, perhaps it was not easy to see her parents, the young Xiao Jingjing was very sensible, she rarely let Qi Chunlan and Xiao Chongyang worry, when Qi Chunlan was tired of doing housework, she would also walk to her mother and beat her back with her small hands.
And every time Xiao Chongyang came home after work, Xiao Jingjing was always the first to run up and open the door for him.
Although the family's life is very hard, they are very happy in the company of their relatives.
After Xiao Jingjing reached school age, Qi Chunlan and Xiao Chongyang did not hesitate to decide to send her to school, even if the tuition fee would put more pressure on their already wealthy family.
After going to school, Xiao Jingjing is also very competitive, and her academic performance is always at the top of the class, which also makes the husband and wife very pleased.
Time flew by in 2001, Qi Chunlan was hospitalized again due to illness, this time, she knew that she was more ill than ever, so, after a long period of internal struggle, Qi Chunlan told her daughter Xiao Jingjing the truth about her life in the ward.
At first hearing the news that she was not born to her parents, Xiao Jingjing was very shocked, although when she was very young, she had heard the neighbors and friends around her say that she was not the birth of her parents, but at that time, Qi Chunlan hid the truth of her life every time in order to protect Xiao Jingjing from harm.
Therefore, in Xiao Jingjing's heart, she has always considered herself to be the biological child of her parents.
Although hearing this news, Xiao Jingjing was difficult to accept for a while, but seeing her mother who was bedridden and thinking of her parents who had taken care of herself meticulously over the years, Xiao Jingjing still cried and told Qi Chunlan that she would always be her mother, and Xiao Chongyang would always be her father.
Hearing that her daughter was so sensible, Qi Chunlan was overjoyed.
She had wanted to keep this secret for the rest of her life, but when she realized that her life was coming to an end, she decided to tell it anyway, perhaps knowing that even if she chose to hide it, the secret would be revealed sooner or later, and she did not want her daughter to hear the news from other people.
Fortunately, her daughter who grew up like a jewel is very sensible, and although she is sad in her heart, she still chooses to smile and comfort her mother, which shows that Qi Chunlan and Xiao Chongyang's education of their daughter is very successful.
Unfortunately, this time, Qi Chunlan could not get out of the hospital.
After the death of his mother, only Xiao Chongyang and Xiao Jingjing's father and daughter were left to rely on each other, Xiao Chongyang was not good at words, but his love for his daughter was no less than that of his wife, and after his wife left, he spent all his energy on making money for his daughter to study.
This is not only for her daughter, but also for her wife who has passed away, and Xiao Jingjing suffered the blow of her mother's death after learning of her death, coupled with seeing her father working hard for herself every day and night, her gratitude to her parents became deeper and deeper, so she made up her mind to study well and live up to her parents' expectations.
In 2005, under Xiao Jingjing's hard work, she was finally admitted to Huazhong Agricultural University as she wished, which made her father Xiao Chongyang feel proud, and whenever Xiao Chongyang met a familiar neighbor and friend, he would show a happy expression when he mentioned his daughter.
Xiao Jingjing, who went to college, is still very hard, studying hard and living a simple life, in order to reduce her father's burden, she often uses her spare time to do part-time work, subsidizing tuition and family, because of her excellent grades, four years later, she was admitted to graduate school.
At this time, Xiao Jingjing was basically able to rely on the money of part-time work to pay her tuition and living expenses, so every time she went home, she hoped that her father would not move the gas canister again, but Xiao Chongyang promised to be good every time, but never gave up the job.
Because he knows the hardships of his daughter's half-work and half-study, so he also hopes that he can earn a little more, so that his daughter can also work a little less weekdays, his daughter is studying in other places, Xiao Chongyang's life at home is very simple, and he saves waiting for his daughter to eat when he has something delicious.
The biological parents came to the door and wanted to exchange money for family affection
Four years later, Xiao Jingjing was successfully escorted to the veterinary medicine doctoral major, and the moment the news came, Xiao Chongyang burst into tears with excitement.
However, soon after, a pair of uninvited guests appeared at Xiao Chongyang's doorstep.
They are Xiao Jingjing's biological parents.
It turned out that after Xiao Jingjing was escorted by the school to study for a doctorate, the local media also reported on this matter, and the biological parents who abandoned Xiao Jingjing also saw Xiao Jingjing's news on TV.
By comparing the time and place when they abandoned their daughter, they found that Xiao Jingjing was the biological daughter who was abandoned by them.
According to them, the couple always wanted a son, but several daughters were born in succession, because the family really could not support, so they abandoned Xiao Jingjing in the corner of the hospital.
Later, because their old house was relocated and they received a compensation payment, their lives improved, and during these years, they have also been looking for the whereabouts of their daughter, hoping to make up for it.
Hearing this, Xiao Chongyang understood the intentions of the two, they wanted to recognize Xiao Jingjing.
Although Xiao Chongyang was reluctant in his heart, he also understood that he could not decide this matter, so he told Xiao Jingjing the news that his daughter's biological parents had found, and told her that whether she chose to return to her biological parents or something else, she would always be his daughter.
Xiao Jingjing, who heard this, was very touched, although her mother had already told her about her origins before she died, but in Xiao Jingjing's heart, Qi Chunlan and Xiao Chongyang were her parents, although her biological parents gave her life, but at the moment when they chose to abandon her, she had nothing to do with them.
No matter how they want to make up for it now, she will always have only one father, Xiao Chongyang, and only one mother, qi Chunlan.
She told her birth parents her attitude clearly, and even if they cried in front of her, she never changed her attitude.
In desperation, the biological parents had to come up with the last weapon, they promised that as long as Xiao Jingjing recognized them, they could send Xiao Jingjing to study abroad, in the eyes of their biological parents, Xiao Chongyang could not send Xiao Jingjing abroad for a lifetime by moving gas cans, and when he proposed this idea, Xiao Jingjing would definitely agree.
However, what they did not expect was that this secret weapon, which was a killer weapon in their eyes, was not put in Xiao Jingjing's eyes at all, and she still refused their proposal without hesitation, and reiterated that only Xiao Chongyang and Qi Chunlan were her biological parents.
In desperation, Xiao Jingjing's biological parents could only give up.
After this news spread on the Internet, it also caused some people to be controversial, some people think that Xiao Jingjing did the right thing, because the grace of nurturing is greater than the grace of life, but some people think that Xiao Jingjing's move is a bit desperate, after all, her biological parents are also the people who gave her life.
However, no matter how the outside world discussed, Xiao Jingjing has never put it in her heart, in her opinion, the most important thing at present is to complete her studies as soon as possible, and the other is to take good care of her father.
Later, after Dr. Xiao Jingjing graduated, she found a good job as she wished, after the job was stable, she did not hesitate to take care of her father, on weekdays, she often accompanied her father around after work, in her opinion, her father has worked for her for most of her life, and the rest of the time, she hopes that he can live easily and happily.
The most recent news about Xiao Jingjing's father and daughter in 2021 is a photo of the father and daughter on the plane, the father and daughter are facing the camera, smiling very happily.
The news about Xiao Jingjing's biological parents has not been heard for a long time, perhaps the daughter's resolute attitude makes them understand that it is impossible to recognize the daughter, so they choose not to appear again and disturb their daughter's life.
On Xiao Jingjing's social account, in addition to sharing her daily work life, more is to share with everyone some photos of her and her father playing, although Xiao Chongyang on the photo has gray hair, but it can be seen that the mental state is very good, the daughter has achieved success in school, stable work, and also has her own family, as a father, he has been old and comforted.
