Preface
My name is Wang Zhuguo, and now I am over seventy years old, and I have brought up my grandson and grandson single-handedly, and every bit of their growth is imprinted in my mind.
I've always believed that there is no distinction between family and love, but it is only today that I understand that although I have always treated them equally, grandchildren and grandchildren are different after all.
So what's going on in my family? Is grandchild really different from grandson?
01
At that time, I was begging for a living in the cotton mill in the county, and through matchmaking, I met my current wife, Sufen, who worked as a nurse in our county hospital.
Not long after the two of us met, we felt like they were eye-catching, and it didn't take long for us to tie the knot and become a family.
In the first year of marriage, Su Fen gave birth to a daughter, and I couldn't be happier.
But at that time, my mother was old, and her legs and feet were not good, and the responsibility of taking care of Sufen's confinement fell on the shoulders of me, a big man.
To be honest, I'm a rough man, how can I know the doorways in those confinements, so I always feel that I can't let Su Fen sit in confinement.
After Su Fen gave birth to a daughter, her body and bones have not been very good, looking at my self-blame, she always comforted me softly, saying that her illness had nothing to do with confinement, and that I had done well enough as a husband.
Even though she said that, I always had a pimple in my heart.
Because at that time, there was no son in the family, and it was inevitable that he would be poked in the backbone by the neighbors.
I thought about waiting for Sufen's physical condition to improve in a few years, and then add a doll to the family.
Su Fen is very reasonable, she said that her own body knows by herself, and everything is according to fate.
When her daughter Niuniu was three years old, Su Fen became pregnant again.
Watching her suffer from morning sickness all day long was a distress to me.
I held her hand and said to her, "After giving birth this time, whether it is a man or a woman, we will never give birth again, just leave a companion for Niuniu." ”
Su Fen smiled slightly and nodded slightly.
Then the child was born, and it was a brat.
My hanging heart just fell to the ground, you know, if I have another daughter, others will definitely say that I am not allowed to have a son, and Su Fen probably can't resist the pressure of the world, and will continue to give birth.
At that time, other people's families had four or five children, and there were only two in our family, but in my opinion, I was already very content with both children.
02
Later, our Niuniu and her son grew up smoothly.
Although Niuniu, this girl is not as clever as her younger brother in reading, after graduating from junior high school, she went to a health school like her mother and studied nursing.
After graduating, she worked as a nurse at the hospital where her mother worked.
As for the son, he was a top student all the way from elementary school to high school, and he was the first in all his homework, and later he was admitted to university, and after graduation, he was robbed by a large company in the city.
Seeing that our sons and daughters have stable jobs, Su Fen and I are finally at ease.
In the early years, those neighbors always said that our family had these two children, and if we had no future chances, what would we do when we were old.
Now, our old couple can straighten their waists, and the children are mixed well, which can be regarded as raising their eyebrows.
When the children reach marriageable age, there is an endless stream of people who come to introduce their partners.
Later, my daughter married a businessman in our county, and the family conditions were okay, but the child had no mother since he was a child, and there was an old father left in the family.
Su Fen and I calculated that when our daughter has a child, we will help take care of the two of them anyway.
As for the son, he found a partner in the city, and he was also a white-collar worker, and the two children got married.
My daughter gave birth to a chubby grandson after a year of marriage, and the son-in-law's business was very busy, how could a big man take care of the confinement and children, so Su Fen and I ran to the daughter's house every day to help serve the daughter's confinement and take care of the grandson.
It's the first time I've been a grandfather, and I'm so excited.
After my daughter returned to work after confinement, we took care of the daily care of our eldest grandson.
It didn't take long for the daughter-in-law to become pregnant, and now our old couple had to work on both sides, taking our eldest grandson to the city to take care of the daughter-in-law.
Later, the daughter-in-law also gave birth to a big fat boy, and the daughter-in-law was career-minded, and ran to the workplace after the confinement.
As a result, our two grandchildren fell into the hands of Su Fen and me.
Considering that my daughter-in-law's house in the city was expensive, I was afraid that the child would accidentally break it, so after discussing with my daughter-in-law, I decided to take the two grandsons back to our hometown in the county to raise them.
My hometown is not far from the city, half an hour by car, and it is convenient for children to see their grandchildren.
In this way, the daughter-in-law readily agreed, so we started a new life in our hometown with a pair of grandchildren.
03
To say that these grandchildren are all the same flesh and blood to me, I never care which of them has the last name.
Sometimes the neighbors see me and Su Fen holding one in one hand and taking turns to pick them up, and they will always joke: "Silly grandma looks at her grandson, and she won't recognize you when she grows up." ”
Every time I hear this, I laugh and say nothing, thinking in my heart, this is our flesh and blood, how can I say that I will not recognize it when I grow up.
When the children reached school age, the son offered to send his grandson to the city for a better education.
I saw that my daughter and son-in-law both worked in the county, so I wanted to let my grandson go to the city with me, after all, the quality of teaching in the city is indeed higher.
My daughter and son-in-law thought about it and agreed with my idea, my son-in-law still has a house in the city, so he has to let our old couple move in together, saying that it is so reassuring.
In this way, our daily task is to take these two little ones to and from school, and cook meals for them, so that young people can go to work and earn money with peace of mind.
The two grandsons have very different personalities, the grandson has been lively and active since he was a child, he can't sit still, and he often can't complete his homework, so that the teacher calls home twice every three days to complain.
At this time, Sufen was sometimes so angry that she wanted to teach him a lesson, but every time I stopped her.
I'm afraid that this kid has heard too much gossip since he was a child, and misunderstood that we were partial to him, so I have always insisted on treating my two grandchildren with a bowl of water, and buying two portions of things, without favoritism.
As for the grandson, he is much more well-behaved, and his academic performance has always been among the best, which saves us a lot of worry.
Although sometimes our grandson gives us a headache, watching him and his grandson holding hands and laughing and playing, Su Fen and I both understand in our hearts that whether it is our grandson or grandson, it is our inseparable concern and sustenance.
Later, when my grandson graduated from junior high school, I didn't know what it was like, and suddenly I didn't want to continue going to school.
Su Fen and I grinded hard and hard, and even coaxed and persuaded him, and finally persuaded him to go to a technical school and learn a skill.
After graduating from technical school, he found a job in a factory in the city, and he was able to make a stable living.
As for the grandson, that kid's academic performance has always been top, and after the college entrance examination, he lived up to expectations and was really admitted to university.
Now that the children are grown up and have their own lives and careers, Su Fen and I feel that we have fulfilled our responsibilities as parents, and as we get older, our bodies are gradually unable to keep up with the rhythm of the city.
So the two of us discussed it and decided to return to our hometown and enjoy our old age in peace.
04
Basking in the sun every day, tending to the flowers and plants, and occasionally going to see the old neighbors and chatting about family life, such days are both comfortable and comfortable for us.
Although the children are not around, they are all doing well, and we can retire with peace of mind.
Thinking that our grandson and grandson have time to come back to see us, the family is lively again, and the joy of three generations in the same house is the greatest happiness in our old age.
I thought I could live this day peacefully, but who knew that it didn't take long for Su Fen's physical condition to deteriorate.
When I went to the hospital for a check-up that day, the doctor said that she needed surgery, but the problem was that she was weak and might not be able to withstand the toss of surgery.
Even if the operation is successful, I'm afraid Sufen can only lie in bed and can't do anything.
I discussed it with my daughter and son repeatedly, and finally decided to take conservative treatment and try to make Sufen as comfortable as possible for the rest of the day.
Back at home, the names of her grandsons and grandchildren are the ones that Su Fen says the most every day, and I know that she really misses her children.
The grandson is a filial child, as long as he is free, he will come back to see his grandmother when he is not in class, accompany her to talk, and relieve her boredom.
But as for my grandson, I didn't come for a long time, and even if he came, he was in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry.
The daughter felt sorry for her mother, and called her grandson many times to come back to see her grandmother, but he always said that he was busy with work and couldn't get out.
Alas, time waits for no one, and within a few months, Su Fen will die.
Before leaving, she was still whispering the names of her two children, and the scene was really sad.
It's a pity that when her grandson arrived, Sufen was already gone, and she didn't even get the last look.
epilogue
Now I'm the old man left alone at home, and whenever I think of the day Su Fen left, my heart is sour.
Especially when I think of the gossip of the neighbors at the beginning, saying that "the grandson is not as good as the grandson" and "the grandson forgets the grandfather when he grows up".
Now that I think about it, is it really that much different from my grandson and my grandson? I shook my head, and I didn't have an answer in my heart.
