Grandma has four children, two sons and two daughters, although they are not wealthy, but they are quite happy. Only the uncle has become a grandmother's heart disease.
Uncle was injured when he was a child and became lame. When he was a child, the village children always liked to make fun of him, saying that he walked with a limp, like a crooked chicken. The uncle didn't say a word when he heard it, but buried his head lower, and he usually didn't want to go out. He often sat alone in the courtyard in a daze, and sat for most of the day.
When the family saw him like this, their hearts were uncomfortable, but there was nothing they could do. The uncle's leg fell into a lifelong disability, not only can it not be cured, but he can't do heavy work, no matter how uncomfortable the uncle is, sooner or later he will have to accept this fact.
When my father and aunts were not married, they took good care of my uncle, and the farm work and some heavy work in the field did not affect my uncle. Grandma felt that with the help of her brothers and sisters, her uncle's life would not be too difficult.
But in a blink of an eye, he reached the age when the uncle should say goodbye, but he encountered a hurdle.
Normal girls don't want to find a sloping object. Uncle is not good at words, coupled with his inferiority complex, he occasionally speaks coldly, which makes people feel uncomfortable when they listen to it, so the blind date is always yellow and yellow.
Gradually, the uncle lost his mind to say goodbye. He said that it was good for him to live alone, and that he could earn enough money to eat and drink for himself. Sometimes the people in the village saw him and couldn't help but persuade him: You are living a leisurely life now, but you also have to think about the future, if you don't have a wife and children, who will serve you when you are old?
Although the uncle has no children, he loves us juniors very much. Every time we met, he would stuff me with some pocket money and let me buy something delicious.
Uncle Liu next door persuaded him: Let me tell you, if you love your niece, it will be in vain, do you expect her to provide for you in the future? She still has your brother and brother-in-law to take care of, how can she take care of you, let me say, whoever has it is better than his own family. ”
Uncle listened to these words a lot, and he was not angry. just smiled and said: This child kisses me, and I love him. People, you can't think too long-term, take one step at a time, you are not tired if you think too much, I am tired for you.
In fact, the uncle is bitter in his heart. He also wants to have someone who knows cold and hot by his side, and he also wants to have children, but the reality is in front of him, no girl from any family can take a fancy to him, what can he do?
My parents didn't feel good when they saw my uncle like this. They knew that my uncle was kind and loved me and my brother, and often bought us delicious and fun food. But they also know that it is not a way for the uncle to go on like this. My dad said, it's really not good, and when my uncle is old, let me and my brother take care of it more.
But this is easier said than done. My mother said that my brother and I have our own days to live when we grow up, and we have our own families to take care of.
In fact, everyone understands the truth, but everyone is reluctant to say it.
The uncle has not been married for a long time, and the most anxious person is grandma. Grandpa died early, uncle didn't get married, and grandma felt that she didn't have the face to see grandpa.
When the uncle was 40 years old, my grandmother fell ill and her health was not as good as before. Relatives and neighbors went to visit grandma, and when she met people, she took their hands and cried, saying that she couldn't leave, and if she left, what would the uncle do? In any case, before she left, she had to give the uncle a companion.
Grandma couldn't get out of bed, so the matter of finding companionship for her uncle fell on her relatives and neighbors who came to visit her, and whenever someone came to the house, Grandma had to ask her to do a favor.
Fortunately, someone was concerned about this matter, and the aunt in the village gave her grandmother an idea, saying that there was a woman in the neighboring village, who was in her thirties and had not yet started a family, and had a fever that burned her head when she was a child, and her intelligence was similar to that of a child of seven or eight years old. Despite this, the parents are well educated, do housework at home, and dress cleanly.
Grandma disagreed at first, she felt that although the uncle had some defects, he was also a dignified person, how could he find such a daughter-in-law?
But this aunt is not a person who gives up easily, she took out a photo to show her grandmother, although the woman is slightly fat, but she looks very festive, and she is dressed cleanly.
The aunt persuaded the grandmother to let the uncle meet the girl first, and there would be no regrets if it didn't work. Grandma felt that it made sense, and she was relieved.
The uncle didn't agree to go, but the grandmother persuaded him for a long time, saying that if he didn't get married, she would be upset even if she left. Uncle can only agree for the sake of grandma.
That day, my uncle dressed neatly and went to the neighboring village. When he came back, he had a smile on his face, and he could see that this blind date was not bad.
When the uncle got home, he told the family that the girl's parents were honest and good people, and although the girl's intelligence was different from others, she could do housework and was diligent.
The uncle and the woman got along for a few months and became relatives. The wedding was very simple, the uncle got married, some people in the village saw the jokes, saying that the uncle had nothing to do in his life, and he couldn't get a wife, so he could only marry a silly girl, and some people thought that the uncle had become a family, and he had a big deal with his grandmother, which was good.
The eldest mother has no pursuit of life, as long as she can eat and drink enough, which is consistent with the uncle's thoughts, after marriage, the two have not quarreled over money, nor have they blushed.
Although the eldest mother has limited intelligence, she listens to her uncle very much, and her home is cleaned up. Uncle feels sorry for her, as long as she is at home, she is busy and not idle, he does more work, and the aunt can be easier. Uncle also saved money to buy clothes and shoes for the aunt, sometimes the aunt is in a good mood, and will sing some songs to the uncle that he heard when he was a child, although the singing is out of tune, but the uncle always listens with a smile.
The parents of the eldest mother saw that their daughter was in pain, and her life was no worse than that of other daughters-in-law, so they were very grateful to the uncle and treated him like their own son.
Grandma saw that her uncle had become a family, and she had no thoughts, and her spirit was much better. In the third year of the uncle's family, the eldest mother was never pregnant. The uncle took her to the hospital for a check-up, only to find out that she could not have children.
Grandma persuaded the uncle to adopt a child, although the uncle had a companion, but the couple had no children, and it was not satisfactory. There is a child who is lively at home, and life is also rushing.
After discussing with the eldest mother's parents, the uncle adopted a seven-month-old daughter. Although the eldest lady is stupid, she is a person who knows how to feel sorry. Since adopting this girl, the eldest mother seems to have changed as if she was a different person, revolving around the child all day long, for fear that she would be hungry and freezing. As for the uncle, he has a head, and his work is more energetic than before.
When my cousin was one year old, I was about to graduate from junior high school. Although we don't see each other often, as long as I get home, I go to my uncle's house to hug her and play with her.
My cousin was very competitive, and later went to school, got good grades in reading, and was very sensible. When the uncle came home from work, she was busy pouring water for the uncle, beating his back, and letting the uncle rest. Classmates laugh at the eldest mother, she will not feel ashamed of the eldest mother, she is not afraid of things at a young age, whoever says her, she dares to roll up her sleeves and fight with them.
Gradually, the children in the village did not dare to say that the eldest mother was not. Seeing that his cousin was so sensible, the uncle loved her even more. When my cousin was in junior high school, she was in the town, and the uncle was worried that she would ride to and from school alone, picking up and dropping off every morning and evening, even if it rained heavily and snowed.
The eldest lady didn't know how to ride a bicycle, so she cooked a meal at home and waited for them to come back. My cousin did her homework, she didn't know how to tutor, and she didn't know anything about studying, so she sat silently, and her cousin finished her homework and was about to rest, so she went back to the house.
The cousin told her to rest early and not have to wait for her all the time. The eldest lady agreed, but she still couldn't rest assured, and sat quietly at the door, and only when she saw that the light in her cousin's house was turned off, she was willing to rest.
Sometimes my cousin learned that after twelve o'clock at night, the eldest mother would warm her a glass of milk and let her go to bed after drinking, and she could no longer write. In winter, the eldest mother learned to sew clothes from others, and sewed cotton gloves for her cousin, so that her hands would not freeze when writing.
Later, my cousin went to college and went to graduate school, and became the most educated person in our family. In order to take care of the eldest aunt and uncle, the cousin refused to marry far away and did not marry until she was thirty years old.
The couple worked in the provincial capital, bought a house and a car, and usually went back to their hometown, which took more than 40 minutes. My cousin came back almost once a month, and sometimes took them to the city for a while.
Uncle doesn't want to cause trouble to his cousin, he usually lives in his hometown, grows some vegetables at home with his aunt, guards a few acres of land, and usually has a cousin to give living expenses, and his life is very comfortable.
There are some people of the same age as the uncle in the village, and when they get old, their children will not take care of them. Uncle and aunt have such filial daughters as cousins, every time they mention aunts and uncles, the people in the village say that they are stupid people and have foolish blessings.
Actually, I think they earned all this blessing by themselves. Although the uncle is physically handicapped, he is kind-hearted and kind to people. Although your aunt is stupid, she is sincere and knows that it hurts. Over the years, they have been closer to their cousin than their own daughter, and now they are happy in their old age, and their kindness has been reciprocated.
