Have you ever seen the TV series "Warm Spring"?
The abandoned baby "Little Flower" inside finally had a home after being adopted by his grandfather, and that long-lost love made countless people shed tears.
I thought that such a story only appeared in the TV series, but it became Ge Honghua's own experience.
Unlike Xiaohua, in addition to her grandfather, she also has two "fathers".
In the 1980s, in two mud huts in Fengmiao Village, Bozhou City, Anhui Province, two poor bare sticks and their elderly father lived.
The older brother's name is Ge Baoge and the younger brother's name is Ge Baotian.
Due to the poor family conditions, the two brothers did not have a family for more than half a hundred years, and the three men lived on each other's lives.
In stark contrast to this is the fourth uncle's house next door.
In the spring of 1988, the fourth uncle's family gave birth to a sixth child.
Newborn babies are usually wrapped in swaddling and held in the arms of their parents as treasures.
But this baby girl is not so popular.
"Our family really can't afford to raise children, so let's give her to the Ge family brothers."
Uncle Ah Si felt that although the two bare-knuckle brothers were poor, their character was notoriously good, and they were relieved to hand over their children.
When the news reached the ears of the Ge brothers, Ge Baotian thought it was a joke, after all, who would be willing to give away their children?
That being said, I thought so, but the brothers didn't go a long way without looking forward to seeing their children.
They want a child too much and a decent home.
On this day, Uncle Ah Si finally pushed open the dilapidated door of the Ge family, bringing new hope to the family.
"You raise her well, she's only been three months." Uncle Ah Si touched the child's cheek and quickly left with the last reluctance.
Then, Ge Baotian and Ge Baoge were overwhelmed by a cry, and they held the child in their arms and gently shook it, humming the "clumsy" lullaby in their mouths.
Looking at this vivid little life, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Uncle Ah Si was in a hurry, and did not leave a name for the girl, so Ge Baotian named her "Ge Honghua", hoping that she could be as beautiful and moving as a flower.

After the two brothers enjoyed a moment of surprise, a tricky question was put in front of them, what did the little red flower eat?
There were no women in the family, and the brothers had no experience in parenting, so Ge Baotian simply fed the little red flower white sugar water.
However, at the end of the day, XiaoHonghua was still crying with hunger, which made the brothers feel painful.
If you want to feed the little red flowers, it seems that you can only buy milk powder. In 1988, the price of a bag of milk powder was almost 5 yuan, and a bag could drink for three or four days, while mengcheng County's higher income was only about 150 yuan per month.
Although the Ge family is two powerful brothers, there is actually only one labor force. Ge Baoge had a serious illness when he was a child, and at that time, the family did not have money to treat it in time, and he fell into the root of the "intellectual disability".
In the end, the father and son decided to let Ge Baotian go out to earn money, and Ge Baoge stayed at home to take care of the little red flowers and survive by planting the family's 6 acres of land.
Since then, Ge Baotian has been working day and night, and the most earned of them is to load the tractor with soil, fill a car with a 3 yuan remuneration, and sometimes he can fill 10 cars in one go, enough for a small red half a month of milk powder money.
One night in the middle of summer, Ge Baotian dragged his tired body back home, and the little red flower who was eating rice paste ran up to him and hugged him, and sweetly shouted: "Daddy."
Ge Baotian was surprised and delighted, he never thought that in this life someone would call him Daddy.
In addition, Xiaohonghua also learned to call her "Grandpa", which Was given to her by Ge Baoge over and over again, and he also let Xiaohonghua call herself "Uncle".
Little Red Flower's early years were spent in a mouthful of "Daddy" and "Uncle".
In her impression, her father always went out to earn money, to buy her beautiful clothes and brand new pencil cases; the uncle would let her ride on her neck at home and take her around the house of someone who was looking for red and white weddings to beg for candy.
Although the days were not so rich, it was enough to fill her young heart with joy.

In the blink of an eye, Little Red Flower has also reached school age, and she is more sensible than before. Ge Baotian also began to worry about this, in case one day Xiaohonghua knew his origins, would he go to find his biological parents?
After careful consideration, Ge Baotian decided to tell Ge Honghua the truth personally: "You are different from other children, you are raised by us, if you want to find your own parents..."
Before Ge Baotian could finish speaking, Ge Honghua angrily interrupted him: "Daddy, what are you talking about!" I have your uncle and grandpa is enough."
It turned out that she had already learned the truth in the gossip of others, but in the day and night with her father, uncle and grandfather, she gave her unlimited strength to the family.
Later, Ge Honghua went to primary school, Ge Baotian and Ge Baoge also entered the old age life, both of them were a little more than enough and insufficient, Ge Baotian earned more money than before.
Ge Honghua's tuition fee per semester is 80 yuan, which is as difficult for Ge Baotian as climbing a snowy mountain, he always owes money to the school, but never less than a penny.
Ge Honghua knows that her father is not easy, so she studies harder than other children, and returns her father's yuan with one award certificate after another.
In the year of junior high school, Ge Honghua's grandfather died, and before the old man left, he said: "I have no regrets, just hang my eldest granddaughter."
How could Ge Honghua not understand this love? After Grandpa left, it took her a long time to get rid of the pain, and the most important thing now is to learn, and only by becoming stronger can she be worthy of this nurturing grace.
This morning, just after dawn, Ge Honghua came to the classroom to study, when a familiar figure appeared in the dark light at the door.
"Daddy"! Ge Honghua ran to his side, thinking that there was a hallucination.
Only to see Ge Baotian carefully take out the stationery box left by Ge Honghua at home, and hand it to her hand with a spoiled face.
It was about 30 kilometers from home to school, and this point father could show up, and he must have set off in the middle of the night by bicycle.
Ge Honghua looked at her white-haired father, and a wave of bitterness surged into her heart...

In the end, Ge Honghua was admitted to Bozhou Normal College with excellent results.
In college, she worked part-time except for class time, and all her goals converged into one:
Let the father take one less job, plant less land, and suffer less.
But such a sensible Ge Honghua still could not escape the joke of fate.
A phone call from her father made her perceive something strange, and she felt that her father had been trying to hide something, and the next morning she returned home without stopping, only to see a skinny, pale father.
According to Uncle Da, the father caused cerebral thrombosis and cerebral infarction due to high blood pressure, and the situation was very unoptimistic.
Ge Baotian said like a child who had done something wrong at this moment: "Safflower, I have nothing to do, I still have to spend money to go to the hospital, and I don't want to delay you."
Ge Honghua, who has always been obedient, did not listen to her father this time, and she blamed her father for delaying his illness while taking him to the hospital.
Ge Honghua spent a long 4 days with her father in the hospital, and after getting the doctor's discharge approval, she temporarily sent the two elderly people to the nursing home for recuperation, and she returned to school to continue her studies.
In the three years of college, Ge Honghua's grades have always been among the best, and she can get a scholarship every year. In addition, because of her excellent character and learning, she also won an inspirational scholarship of 5,000 yuan.
After getting the money, she only left a little as a living expense, and the rest bought a big color TV for her father and uncle, at least the two old people were not so lonely at home.
In 2012, Ge Honghua graduated with the 4th place in the county, and schools throughout Mengcheng County were scrambling to hire her.
Later, she gave up the best-treated central primary school and chose the remote Majizhen Primary School, for the simple reason that the school could provide her with three clean rooms for free, allowing him to live with two elderly people.
In the first month of work, Ge Honghua got 1500 yuan, and she bought a cotton coat of more than 100 yuan for each of the two elderly people, but she was reluctant to buy a decent dress.
In 2015, due to Ge Honghua's outstanding work, he was transferred to mengcheng County Affiliated Small League School.
In order not to be separated from her father and uncle, she applied for public rental housing and still worked while taking care of them.
"As long as you leave a little, you will not be relieved," Ge Honghua said happily.

In the second year that he brought two old people to work in Mengcheng, Ge Baotian's condition worsened.
In 2018, Ge Baotian was admitted to the ICU due to a serious infection of the foot and lungs caused by the deterioration of brain disease.
The doctor told Ge Honghua that in order to save Ge Baotian, he must get two injections of imported injections every day, but the price is relatively expensive, and one injection costs 750 yuan.
Coupled with external medication, nutrient solution, human blood protein, etc., Ge Honghua will have more than 2,000 yuan on the bill every day when she wakes up.
This went on for a whole week, adding up to almost fifteen thousand "huge sums."
Many people advised Ge Honghua to give up, because even if Ge Baotian's illness was cured, he might not recognize anyone.
But Ge Honghua insisted on treating her father, she believed in the existence of miracles, and also believed in the eternity of love.
After the school learned of this, it donated more than 2,000 yuan for her, and the Mengcheng Women's Federation Office and the County Civilization Office also sent condolence money one after another.
Ge Honghua put down her figure as a teacher, and while trying to raise money, she bowed to the donors one by one.
Fortunately, Ge Baotian survived, and a month later he was able to take the initiative to eat, and he was also moved from the ICU to the general ward.
After being discharged from the hospital, neighbors often saw ge honghua's public rental house lit up, Ge Baoge sitting stupidly in a chair drinking "daughter's" hot milk, and Ge Baotian lying on the hospital bed quietly looking at the "strange face" in front of him.
Sometimes Ge Honghua can't help but shed tears, but watching the family get out of the downward whirlpool and walk up to the flat emu, she will always dry her tears and smile again.
What do you think of the story between Ge Honghua and the two "fathers"?
