An online wedding photo went viral on the Internet.
The bride is a heroic old woman, and the groom is a handsome firefighter in his twenties, and the huge contrast between the two has aroused the curiosity of netizens.
The comments section immediately retained all sorts of intolerable speculations, but the truth touched everyone online.
The "groom" and "bride" in the photo are actually in-laws and grandchildren, and the man is the adopted grandson of an old woman.
The first abandoned baby adopted in early spring
Tang Caiying, born in January 1936, was a native of Fengyi County, Xinyu City, Jiangxi Province, at a time of war.
As the eldest daughter, Tang Caiying learned to take care of her younger siblings from an early age, and it is not uncommon for her to escape with her older siblings.
In order to help the family, Tang Caiying practiced very good basket weaving skills. She opened a snack bar in the city and went to the market every day to sell baskets, earning a lot of money. But Tang Caiying is a hard-working and kind peasant woman, she does not seek fame and profit, she only thinks about her own affairs. The money earned from selling baskets, although not easy, can at least make ends meet.
When Tang Caiying was 18 years old, he married Zhang Fulin, a young man from a neighboring village.
Although their parents arranged for them to live a life, they were all told by the mediator.
Tang Caiying's family is frugal, Zhang Fulin is also very industrious, usually loves his daughter-in-law very much, and his life is good.
Within a few days of marriage, the two had their first child.
At that time, contraceptive technology was not as advanced as it is today, and people liked to have more children and more blessings. My father was a doctor, and he and his wife loved children, and when they both married, they had four children: a girl and two boys. There were three other girls in our family, and my mother was one of them. So the two of them had five children.
Having five children, regardless of age, is very expensive.
Zhang Fulin is a railway worker who usually spends money without spending money, but it is still difficult to feed a large family.
Tang Caiying realized her husband's plight and decided to go out and find a job to share his pressure.
Eventually, Tang found a job as a cleaner in the hospital. At that time, Tang Caiying did not realize that he had become a nurse. Tang Caiying felt that he should be a good nurse. She said: I want to be a doctor! Don is a very serious person, she has worked in this hospital for 20 years.
Both worked hard and life slowly got better.
On March 10, 1983, Tang Caiying went to the hospital as usual.
When she went out, it was still dark and a little foggy.
Tang Caiying vaguely saw a swaddle on the side of the road, and when he walked in, he heard the faint cry of the baby.
When I opened the swaddle, there was a child inside.
Tang Caiying looked around, wondering which irresponsible parent had lost his child, but there was no one around. Her heart was very unhappy, and at this moment, a person walked up to Tang Caiying and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Did I lose him?" Yeah, yeah. Tang Caiying waited for a long time, and he didn't see anyone coming to look for the child.
She suddenly realized that the child had been abandoned by her family.
Subsequently, Tang Caiying took the baby girl to the hospital and paid for the examination herself.
Fortunately, the baby girl is in good health. But how to place children is difficult.
Tang Chao returned to the Civil Affairs Bureau with the child in his arms, hoping to find the parents of the baby girl.
But civil affairs bureau staff told her that they would also have difficulty finding the baby girl's parents and could send her to a welfare home first.
Under the persuasion of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Tang Yingnian carried the child to the welfare home. He said, "I want to see what I can love and make others happy." His idea was supported by the Dean, who agreed to turn this wish into reality. A welfare home is an institution specializing in the assistance of orphans. But there were too many foster children at the time, and there were no extra beds.
Coupled with the small size of the place, the welfare home has limited funds and cannot adopt other children.
The welfare home was too short of money, and could only persuade Tang Caiying to take care of himself for a while, but Tang Caiying took the child home.
When the husband, Zhang Fulin, found that his wife had gone out on a shift and returned with the child, he was also surprised to learn what had happened and sympathized with the abandoned child.
While raising baby girls, Tang Caiying has been looking for suitable adoptive families. She found that many people wanted to adopt their daughters, but they were reluctant to adopt their children. Therefore, Tang Caiying decided to investigate what was going on? Tang Caiying came to a hospital for an interview. After a long search, a couple learns about the incident and discovers that Don says they want to adopt a child.
At first, the two had a good conversation, and when they learned that the child was in great health, their idea of adoption became stronger.
Just as things were about to calm down, the couple discovered that it was a baby girl. They thought it was a girl's widow, so they took the child to the hospital for examination. The doctor said that the girl's father had given birth to the child, and the child was his daughter. The child was diagnosed as a boy. They were very angry. Suddenly, everyone was out of interest and they had been trying to adopt a boy.
In desperation, Tang Caiying had to take the child home. She couldn't abandon him anymore. Tang Caiying has a daughter named Donna, who is 6 years old this year. Donna has loved watching movies since she was a child, especially watching the shows that Tang Cailan and Tang Fang perform together. Tang Caiying understood her daughter's thoughts very well. She had been watching the kids for a long time, all the days together, and it was wrong to say she didn't have any feelings.
In the end, Tang Caiying decided to adopt the child himself. Tang Caiying, a nurse, found a strange disease in a physical examination - "liver hardening", and she immediately went to the hospital for treatment. Doctors diagnosed that cirrhosis of the liver may affect his intellectual development and physical health. She told her husband about it, and he immediately objected.
"We have five children, life is very difficult, and now you are suddenly going to adopt a child, isn't it worse?"
Her husband said that Tang Caiying understood, but she just couldn't lose her child mercilessly.
She slowly coaxed him to reach out and touch the delicate face of the child, and as she looked into his big blinking eyes, they both became gentle.
In this way, Tang Caiying adopted her first child.
More abandoned babies come home
The abandoned babies, as if under the guidance of the gods, had quietly entered Tang Caiying's sight.
On the night of May 26, 1985, the second child went home. He was a boy who, when he was in kindergarten, was regarded as a pearl in the palm of his hand by teachers and parents. However, as he grew older, he felt more and more that his ability was insufficient, so he pinned his hopes on his mother. On the evening of April 25, 1992, the third child was born.
The three children didn't eat, so she fed them carefully, scooped them to her mouth with a spoon, and was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat. She was afraid that the child would not feel comfortable eating, so she covered the child with a quilt. Once, she noticed that a child's clothes were dirty and went to help him wipe them clean. The child was crying badly. Fearing that the three of them would fall out of bed, she lifted the edge of the bed and took turns holding them on the bed at night.
Tang Caiying took the children home one by one, and her husband finally couldn't help it, angrily rebuking Tang Caiying: "How did you raise so many children?" Are you tired? ”
Even those around her advised her not to adopt children, "Adopting a child is a good thing, but you must protect your own life." ”
Tang Caiying knew all this, he knew that they said this for his own good, but he just couldn't stand it.
Tang Caiying firmly said to the people around him: "Seeing these abandoned creatures, my heart hurts.
I can't let these little people be abandoned anymore, I have a bite to eat, they have a bite to eat, tired I want to raise them! ——Inscription My son, 6 years old this year. His parents were farmers, and they were both industrious and simple. While working outside the home, I found a great opportunity to send my children to the city to study. "Yes.
At the end of 1997, Tang found another abandoned baby near the hospital, a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.
In the year of his return to the motherland, Tang Caiying named his two children Zhang Jiagang and Zhang Jiahui.
That year, Tang Caiying was 61 years old, and it would be strange if she called her mother again, so she asked her two children to call her grandmother.
At this time, Tang Caiying's cleaner's monthly salary was only 100 yuan, while a child needed 4-6 yuan a bag of milk powder, and a child needed to eat 4 bags of milk powder. His mother was a disabled person, and the family did not have the money to buy rice, vegetables and salt... Tang Caiying's son, Tang Wenjie, is 14 years old, and his father is deaf and mute. My family is completely bankrupt!
This time, the husband was furious and even said to Tang Caiying: "You must not pick up abandoned babies again!" If you do it again, we'll break up and you and your own kids will go together! ”
Without his husband's understanding, Tang Sanzang was also very sad and aggrieved.
But she still can't be cruel, and the people around her see Tang Caiying's difficulties and give her a little trick to let her send a healthy child and leave her sick or unwanted child.
Reduce the burden on children and create a better living environment. "I want to give the children more time to play and let them exercise and improve in their studies." "I think we should do something for the kids? I don't know what to do. Tang Caiying agreed, leaving only six unwanted children, and the rest were sent away.
Tang Caiying is very serious about choosing a family for each child, she is not to make money, not to sell children, but to give children the best home.
Pass on the love and I grow for you
Although Tang Caiying left only six children, he still lived in poverty.
Especially when the child grows up, going to school is a big expense.
Tang Caiying allows every child to learn, in addition to work, but also to pick up garbage and supplement the collection of household garbage.
In 2000, when Zhang Jiagang was three years old, a couple saw his beauty and decided to adopt him.
They said they could provide Zhang Jiagang with better education opportunities and quality of life, but Tang Caiying reluctantly agreed.
The night before Zhang Jiagang left, Tang Caiying bought meat for him and cooked him a beautiful meal.
Zhang Jiagang may have vaguely realized that watching his grandmother's flesh howl and not eating a bite.
Tang Caiying was also very sad, and the two held hands and cried.
The next day, Zhang Jiagang was adopted by the couple.
Four months later, the couple angrily found Tang Caiying, and after detailed inquiry, they learned that Zhang Jiagang had been sent away, and from then on, they did not say a word, frowned every day, and did not have much to eat!
The couple thought they had been deceived by Tang Caiying, but in fact Zhang Jiagang was a deaf and mute child, angrily shouting for a refund.
Tang Caiying looked at his good boy's thin face and sank, had no intention of leaving, and rushed back to get two thousand yuan in anger and let them go.
When Zhang Jiagang saw his grandmother, he couldn't help but cry again.
Since then, Tang Caiying has never sent Zhang Jiagang away. She knew that Zhang Jiagang was born to grow up with her. But Tang Caiying was afraid that Zhang Jiagang would not be born well, so he never let him go to school. Until one day, Zhang Jiagang entered the university. Having one more child puts more pressure on Tang Caiying.
Zhang Jiagang watched his grandmother pick up the garbage, and every time he was tired and had back pain, he hugged his grandmother and cried and said, "Grandma! You don't pick up garbage, I don't want new clothes, don't eat, you don't pick up garbage! ”
Seeing that the child was so understanding, Tang Sanzang cried and made trouble. She knew that the children were young and didn't understand anything. However, she decided to take the children with her to pick up the garbage, because she felt that this would allow the children to develop good behavior habits and living habits from an early age. In order not to worry the children, Tang Caiying always waited for the children to fall asleep before picking up the garbage.
Under normal circumstances, after Tang Caiying completes the cleaning work of the hospital, he will go to the logistics department of the hospital to help clean the quilt, so that he can make more money. Tang Caiying's family is a big family, and his parents and three older sisters have pensions. She has loved sports since she was a child, especially running, and her grades are very good. When I was in elementary school, the school organized students to conduct long-distance running competitions. In addition, she has 7 or 8 pigs in her backyard.
She was willing to do anything to make money, just to make her children better off. Her life is very poor, and she can only eat two meals a day. On such a difficult day, she devoted all her attention to treating her daughter. However, the disease attacked Tang Caiying again and again. Tang Caiying's body has been in the battlefield for a long time.
In June 2010, Tang Caiying took Zhang Jiagang to the street to play, and only slept for 3 hours a day before fainting.
The 10-year-old Zhangjiagang watched his grandmother faint on the ground, suddenly panicked, and cried.
Just when he was panicking, several firefighters passed by and saw Zhang Jiagang crying, they rushed the unconscious Tang to the hospital, and waited until Tang Caiying woke up from the coma, and several firefighters left.
While waiting, the firefighters accompanied Zhang Jiagang, telling him stories and comforting him not to be afraid.
At the age of 10, Zhang Jiagang's older brother was a firefighter and the most trustworthy person in the world.
In order to distract Zhang Jiagang, the firefighters asked Zhang Jiagang's story.
Zhang Jiagang generously told the story of himself and his grandmother, and his words were full of gratitude.
After listening, the firefighters admired Tang Caiying and wanted to do their part to help them.
They were responsible for Tang Caiying's hospitalization expenses and held a fundraising campaign at the Health Bureau to give Tang Caiying thousands of dollars he had collected.
Zhang Jiagang was touched by the help of firefighters, and he aspired to become a firefighter from a young age to help more people.
Since then, Tang Caiying has continuously received money from the fire brigade, totaling tens of thousands of yuan.
Not only that, the fire brigade also hired Zhang Jiagang and another child, Zhang Lin, to provide them with tuition and tuition and miscellaneous fees.
With the help of the fire brigade, Tang Caiying gradually became rich, and the children's lives also improved greatly.
Tang Caiying knew that his grandson Zhang Jiagang liked to paint, so he sent him to learn painting. Xiao Jiagang often said, "Daddy, I want to paint my paintings!" Tang Caiying thought: This child is really a good look, and he will definitely become a painting master in the future. So I agreed. Zhang Jiagang is also very competitive, whether in learning or painting, he is very good, always at the top.
Zhang Jiagang also painted everyone around him and personally handed it over to the firefighters.
The firefighters were relieved because their kindness was rewarded. In the kitchen of Zhang Jiagang's home, there will be a "ding- ding" sound every day, which is a habit after her daily exercise, and it is also a kind of enjoyment. Zhang Jiagang loves sports and often participates in some sports activities and competitions. In daily life, Zhang Jiagang has not forgotten sports.
Being a firefighter when you grow up is never just talk.
In September 2016, Zhang Jiagang was admitted to the university with excellent results. Born in the countryside and raised in a peasant family, Zhang Jiagang has had a simple wish since he was a child: to become an excellent doctor when he grows up. After graduating from high school, he returned to his hometown to work as a veterinarian. When he was in college, he also helped others earn money to buy gifts for his grandmother.
After graduating from university, Zhang Jiagang immediately joined the fire brigade.
He carefully studied each fire drill and passed the fire brigade's assessment many times.
Zhangjiagang returned home and bought a smart phone for his grandmother.
In the winter of 2020, Zhang Fulin died of illness, and it was a pity that Tang Jun could not take a photo with the old man.
This sentence flashed in Zhang Jiagang's mind.
In May 2021, Zhang Jiagang took her grandmother to a photo studio and let her wear her wedding dress in surprise.
Then there are the opening ceremony scene, wonderful photos. The young man's name is Zhang Liang, a young boy from Wuhan, Hubei Province. His parents were both workers, and in order to make a living, they sent their son to a clothing store as an apprentice. In the process, he encountered many difficulties. The staff who took the photos at the time were also a little incredulous before learning about the situation, but after listening to the boy's story, he was moved to tears.
All the wishes that Grandma did not fulfill, Zhang Jiagang would take Grandma with her to complete.
Now 85 years old, Tang Caiying has children and grandchildren, and every New Year's Day, her children will come back from all over the country. "I work in my hometown, and every year I come home to buy a lot of gifts for my children, and I want them to live happily!" Tang Caiying smiled and said, "I am now more than 70 years old. The family is crowded together, so crowded!
As of December 2021, Zhang Jiagang has helped a number of needy families send their children to school, and like his brother, Zhang Jiagang often takes care of their lives!
