A month after his mother's death, his 78-year-old stepfather is returning to his hometown in Hubei. Stepfather said: It is not easy for young people to work outside, I am old, let me fall leaves and return to the roots! When my stepfather left, my husband and I took him 8,000 yuan for living expenses. Later, relatives called to say that the stepfather was seriously ill. I hurried home, and after learning the truth, I made an important decision.

My father was addicted to gambling and his parents divorced when I was very young. It was my mother who brought me and my brother up alone, and life was very difficult, and later my mother was introduced to my stepfather. Although the stepfather worked on a construction site and did not earn much, he was honest and generous, and he was not yet married. The mother saw that he was a kind man, and after confirming that he would treat her 2 children kindly after marriage, she decided to marry her stepfather.

After my stepfather and my mother got married, they didn't have any more children. My stepfather said: My monthly salary is 3500 yuan, and if there is one more child in the family, the burden will be even heavier. You can marry me, I have children and daughters all of a sudden, and I am satisfied.

I was 8 years old, my brother was 5 years old, and after my mother and stepfather got married, they followed me to live in the city. At first, our sisters and brothers were very afraid of our stepfather, and when my stepfather came home from work at night, he would go to the shower first, and then come to eat with us when he was hungry.

My stepfather paid us a salary and would buy us ice cream to eat. At that time, there was no refrigerator at home, and eating ice cream was like the New Year, and our sisters and brothers were very happy.

One night, I overheard a conversation between my mother and stepfather. The mother said: I have wronged you, and I have not been able to give you a son and a half daughter, but I let you earn money to support our mother-in-law. The stepfather said: What is this, compared to playing with a single stick all my life, I am satisfied to be able to marry such a virtuous wife as you.

After living with my stepfather for 2 years, I called my stepfather Daddy. During this time, our biological father did not appear once, I was 3 years older than my brother, who was good to himself and who was not good to himself, I knew in my heart. When my stepfather heard my brother and I call him "Daddy," he ate an extra bowl for dinner that day and praised his mother's cooking.

The arrival of our stepfather made our home warmer, and even our study, the stepfather was also very concerned. Our stepfather often taught us that boys and girls should study well, and only by reading well can we change our fate and not have to do the most tiring work to make the least money.

My brother and I, encouraged by my stepfather, were very angry. I was admitted to the Health School and later became a nurse in a regular hospital. The younger brother was admitted to college, and after graduation, he stayed on as a faculty member. In those years, in order to save for our tuition, my stepfather insisted on working to earn money even if he was sick and feverish.

The first time I left home to study, my stepfather sent me to school. We changed trains from car to train along the way, and my stepfather helped me carry my luggage all the way, so tired that sweat soaked my clothes. In the evening, when we came to school, my stepfather settled me in and left, and I later learned that in order to save money, my stepfather spent that night on a stone bench in the school playground.

Over the years, although the mother did not give birth to the stepfather, their relationship has always been very good, never red face, everything will be discussed. The money earned by the stepfather is handed over to the mother, who is also single-mindedly running the family.

Before I got married, I planned to buy a house in the city, move my hukou over, and then get a license. But at that time, my husband and I had limited money and hesitated. To my surprise, at this time, my stepfather and mother gave us charcoal in the snow and gave us 50,000 yuan at once. At that time, the down payment of the house was 100,000, and we paid the down payment to buy the house.

Later, I took my stepfather and mother to me. A year later, I became pregnant, and after giving birth, my stepfather and mother were always around to help me take care of it. It wasn't until the child went to elementary school that the mother died of a sudden heart attack.

When the mother left, the stepfather was even sadrer than our children, and not long after dealing with the mother's affairs, the stepfather said to me: Daughter- in law, your mother is gone, your grandson has grown up, I want to go back to my hometown, it is not easy for you young people to work hard outside to earn money, and your father will fall back to the roots when he is old.

I did not trust my stepfather and advised him not to leave and let him retire with us. The stepfather insisted on leaving, and the luggage was packed. No way, when my stepfather was leaving, I gave the old man 8,000 yuan. Looking at the distant back of my elderly stepfather, my heart was very sour, and tears swirled in my eyes.

Half a year later, I received a call from a relative in my hometown saying that my stepfather was coughing up blood, and the doctor checked that it was lung cancer. When I heard the news, I rushed back to my hometown to take my stepfather to my side and treat him further in the hospital. Fortunately, it is not a terminal cancer, and after chemotherapy, the condition has improved significantly.

I asked my stepfather: Did you start coughing up blood a long time ago, afraid that you would be dragged down by your illness, and then you said you were leaving? The stepfather does not speak. I took my stepfather's hand and said, "Dad, don't leave after that, I will cure you of your illness, you raise me small, I will raise you old." People say, am I doing the right thing?

Hello ladies, thanks for sharing! It is your luck to meet such a good stepfather.

Although the stepfather is very ordinary in birth and ability, he has a kind heart and treats your brothers and sisters as if they were his own children, in contrast, your biological father does not ask you, and can't help but ask, which is more important, sheng en or nurturing? People are sentient animals, and feelings need to be cultivated by getting along together. It seems that if there is only birth grace and no nurturing grace, even blood relations will become pale. Your stepfather can spend his whole life to support other people's children, and it must be a big heart to do it. It is this generous mind of the stepfather that allows your brothers and sisters to grow up healthy and strong.

You also know that you have not disappointed your stepfather, and you can actively return the stepfather's nurturing grace, so that he can have a safe place after he is old, and actively heal him. You did it right and really liked you.
