56-year-old Grandma Zhang has been taking care of her 6-year-old grandson Xiao Ming alone for 6 years. Grandma Zhang's son works in other places, and her daughter-in-law occasionally comes back to visit her grandson. Although Grandma Zhang and her daughter-in-law did not have a good relationship, she still did her best to take care of this naughty little guy.
"Xiao Ming, hurry up and eat, grandma makes your favorite braised pork!" Grandma Zhang urged Xiao Ming while carefully serving him rice. While eating, Xiao Ming complained: "Grandma, why do you do this every day, I want to eat something else!" Grandma Zhang smiled helplessly, "Then tell me what you want to eat, and grandma will make it for you." Xiao Ming thought for a while and said, "I want to eat hamburgers!" Grandma Zhang shook her head, "Grandma doesn't have any materials to make hamburgers at home, let's go to the supermarket next time to buy them, okay?" Xiao Ming pursed his lips, but continued to eat obediently.
Since living alone with her grandchildren, Grandma Zhang's life has become extremely difficult. In order to take care of Xiao Ming, she had to cut back on food and clothing, and spent her savings little by little. Sometimes, she also feels tired, but seeing Xiao Ming's naughty and cute appearance, her heart will be warm.
"Grandma, shall we go to the park today?" After Xiao Ming finished eating, he asked excitedly. Grandma Zhang nodded, "Okay, but we have to wash the dishes before we go out to play." Xiao Ming cheered, and while running to the sink to help his grandmother wash the dishes, he hummed a little song.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Grandma Zhang opened the door and saw that it was her daughter-in-law who had not returned for a long time. "Mom, I'm coming back to see Xiao Ming. The daughter-in-law said with a hint of apology. Grandma Zhang hurriedly let her in the door, "It's so good, Xiao Ming has always missed you." The daughter-in-law walked into the house and glanced around the room.
"Mom, where is Xiao Ming's household registration book? I want to give him some subsidies. The daughter-in-law asked. Grandma Zhang was stunned, "I remember that I put it in this drawer a few days ago, you can see if you can find it." The two of them searched the house together, but they couldn't find the household registration book.
"Grandma, I found it!" At this moment, Xiao Ming shouted excitedly. Grandma Zhang and her daughter-in-law hurriedly walked over, but when they saw Xiao Ming holding an empty folder in his hand, the smile on their faces suddenly froze.
"Xiao Ming, this is not a household registration book, you quickly return it to grandma. The daughter-in-law reproached. Xiao Ming looked at the two of them aggrievedly, not understanding why he was scolded. Grandma Zhang sighed, squatted down and comforted Xiao Ming softly, "It's okay, grandma is not angry, let's continue to look for it." Xiao Ming nodded, and began to look around the house again.
Grandma Zhang and her daughter-in-law looked at each other, not knowing what to do. This matter of the household registration book made Grandma Zhang feel very anxious, because she knew how important it was to Xiao Ming. She worries that if she can't find it, it will have a detrimental effect on Xiao Ming's future.
"Mom, why don't we go to the police station together to see if anyone picks it up?" The daughter-in-law proposed. Grandma Zhang nodded, "Okay, then we'll go now." "
The two took Xiao Ming's hand and walked to the police station together. Grandma Zhang prayed that she could find the precious household registration book as soon as possible, she really didn't want Xiao Ming to be affected in any way because of this incident.
Grandma Zhang, daughter-in-law and Xiao Ming went to the police station together, hoping to find the lost household registration book.
"Hello, officer, our household registration book is missing, can you help us check if anyone has found it?" Grandma Zhang anxiously explained to the police officer.
Grandma Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you so much, thank you very much." She knows the importance of the household registration book, and if she can't find it, Xiao Ming will not be able to enjoy the benefits and rights she deserves.
"Grandma, when will we get the household registration book?" Xiao Ming asked curiously.
"I'll find it soon, grandma assured. Grandma Zhang touched Xiao Ming's hair kindly, "Now let's go home and wait for news." "
As soon as she got home, her daughter-in-law immediately began to ask Grandma Zhang about the household registration book. "Mom, what if I can't find it? This is related to Xiao Ming's future schooling and receiving subsidies. "
Grandma Zhang sighed, "I know, I'm worried too. But all we can do now is wait for news from the police, and I'm sure we can find it. "
The daughter-in-law was silent for a moment, "Mom, why don't we look for it ourselves?" "
So, the three of them began to rummage through the house again. They lifted the couch cushions, pulled open the drawers, and even checked the trash cans, but to no avail.
"Grandma, I'm so tired, can we play for a while?" Xiao Ming asked impatiently.
Grandma Zhang nodded helplessly, "Okay, let's rest for a while." She knew that Xiao Ming was still young, and she didn't understand this kind of thing very well.
Seeing this, the daughter-in-law couldn't bear to let Xiao Ming continue to participate in the search. She pulled Xiao Ming to play, and whispered to Grandma Zhang, "Mom, let's look for it later, don't let Xiao Ming be too tired." "
Grandma Zhang nodded, "Okay, then we'll talk about it later." She watched the two of them having fun, and her heart relaxed a lot.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Grandma Zhang hurriedly went to open the door, only to see a police officer standing at the door.
"Hello, we found a children's household registration book in a nearby trash can, I wonder if you lost it?" The officer said enthusiastically.
Grandma Zhang nodded excitedly, "Yes, it's ours! Thank you so much!" She hurriedly took the household registration book and carefully checked it.
The daughter-in-law and Xiao Ming also came over, "Great, I found it!" The daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Ming jumped up excitedly, "Grandma, we finally found it!" He happily hugged Grandma Zhang's legs.
Grandma Zhang smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, thank you so much for this police officer." She turned to the officer and said, "Thank you so much for your help, we're so happy." "
The officer smiled and nodded, "You're welcome, this is what we should do." I hope you will be more careful in taking care of your child's important documents in the future. "
Grandma Zhang nodded again and again, "Definitely, definitely." She excitedly held the household registration book in her arms, for fear of losing it again.
The family finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss the next matters.
"Mom, since the household registration book has been found, should we take the opportunity to apply for Xiao Ming's subsidy?" The daughter-in-law proposed.
Grandma Zhang nodded, "Good idea, let's do it tomorrow." She turned her head to look at Xiao Ming, "Do you think it's okay?"
Xiao Ming nodded happily, "Okay, okay, I want a lot of toys!"
Grandma Zhang smiled dotingly, "Okay, grandma will accompany you to buy it." She took Xiao Ming's hand and walked out together as a family.
Along the way, Grandma Zhang was lamenting her good luck. Without the help of the police, I am afraid they would have continued to search anxiously. Now that the household registration book has finally been found, Xiao Ming can also receive the due subsidy smoothly.
"Mom, I thank you for taking care of Xiao Ming all the time. If it weren't for you, Xiao Ming would have run out of place to go. The daughter-in-law said gratefully.
Grandma Zhang smiled, "It's nothing, Xiao Ming is my own grandson, of course I have to take good care of him." She turned her head to look at Xiao Ming's really smiling face, "As long as Xiao Ming is healthy and happy, grandma will be very satisfied." "
The daughter-in-law nodded, "I know, you are a good grandmother." I will take good care of Xiao Ming, and I will not let this happen again in the future. "
Grandma Zhang nodded with satisfaction, "That's good, let's work together." "
The family is in high spirits and walks forward briskly, believing that the future will be better.
The family happily went to the government department, hoping to apply for the due subsidy for Xiao Ming.
"Hello, we would like to apply for a grant for this child. Grandma Zhang said to the staff with excitement.
The staff carefully checked Xiao Ming's household registration book and nodded, "Okay, this child does meet the application conditions." You can fill out these forms and you're good to go. "
Grandma Zhang hurriedly took the form and carefully filled in the relevant information. The daughter-in-law also took the initiative to help, and the two cooperated tacitly.
"Grandma, can I play with my phone?" Xiao Ming looked at Grandma Zhang expectantly.
"Yes, but don't play for too long. Grandma Zhang said with a smile as she continued to fill out the form carefully.
Finally, all the formalities were completed. The staff smiled and said, "Okay, your application has been submitted, and we will review it as soon as possible." If there are any questions, we will contact you in time. "
"Thank you so much!" Grandma Zhang said sincerely, "We will definitely take good care of Xiao Ming." "
The family happily walked out of the government department, and Xiao Ming excitedly followed behind the two people.
"Grandma, where are we going now?" Xiao Ming asked curiously.
"Let's go to the supermarket and buy the toys you want!" Grandma Zhang smiled and said, "Today is a good day, we have to celebrate." "
Xiao Ming jumped up happily, "Great! I want to buy a lot of toys!"
The family came to a large supermarket, and Xiao Ming excitedly took Grandma Zhang's hand and walked around. The daughter-in-law also followed behind, helping to choose some toys suitable for Xiao Ming from time to time.
"Grandma, this robot is so cool, can I ask for it?" Xiao Ming excitedly pointed to a high-tech toy.
Grandma Zhang smiled and nodded, "Yes, as long as you like." "
Xiao Ming cheered and hugged Grandma Zhang. The daughter-in-law couldn't help laughing, watching the intimate interaction between the two people, she felt very warm in her heart.
In the supermarket, the family picked up a lot of toys that Xiao Ming liked. Although Grandma Zhang was a little reluctant to spend money, she couldn't help but buy a few more when she saw Xiao Ming so happy.
"Thank you, grandma!" Xiao Ming excitedly hugged the newly bought toy, "I like you the most!"
Grandma Zhang touched Xiao Ming's head dotingly, "Grandma likes you the most, Xiao Ming." She felt extremely relieved and satisfied.
When checking out, Grandma Zhang looked at the numbers on the bill and couldn't help but feel a little distressed. This time the expenses were not small, and her savings were much less. But seeing Xiao Ming so happy, she felt that everything was worth it.
"Mom, don't worry about the money yet, let's share it together. The daughter-in-law said thoughtfully.
Grandma Zhang hurriedly shook her head, "No, it's all my business, you don't have to worry about it." She didn't want to embarrass her daughter-in-law.
"But, Mom, this money must be very important to you. The daughter-in-law said with some concern.
Grandma Zhang smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm very satisfied to see Xiao Ming so happy." The two of you are the most important thing. "
The daughter-in-law saw that Grandma Zhang's attitude was firm, so she was no longer reluctant. The family returned home happily.
Xiao Ming couldn't wait to open the newly bought toy and have a lot of fun. Grandma Zhang couldn't help but smile when she looked at his innocent appearance.
"Xiao Ming, are you having fun?" Grandma Zhang walked over and touched his hair.
"Super happy! Grandma, you're the best!" Xiao Ming looked up and grinned at Grandma Zhang.
The daughter-in-law also walked over, "Xiao Ming, you have to have fun, don't waste grandma's careful preparations." "
Xiao Ming nodded, "I will, I'll have fun!"
The family had a great day in a warm atmosphere. Although Grandma Zhang spent all her savings, seeing Xiao Ming so happy, she felt that everything was worth it.
"Mom, thank you so much today. If you hadn't been taking care of Xiao Ming, we wouldn't be where we are today. The daughter-in-law said sincerely.
Grandma Zhang smiled and shook her head, "What's this, Xiao Ming is my own grandson, of course I have to take good care of him." "
The daughter-in-law nodded, "I know, you're the best grandmother." I will definitely help you a lot in the future, so that you don't have to work so hard. "
Grandma Zhang nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, then let's work together." She took Xiao Ming's hand, and the family sat together, feeling this precious warmth.
In this way, the family lived a happier and happier life.
From that day on, the daughter-in-law began to come back to visit Xiao Ming from time to time, and took the initiative to help Grandma Zhang share the burden of care. She bought Xiao Ming a lot of new clothes and toys, and also bought some daily necessities for Grandma Zhang, which relieved Grandma Zhang's financial pressure.
"Grandma, does this new bag look good?" Xiao Ming asked excitedly holding his brand new school bag.
Grandma Zhang nodded with satisfaction, "It's beautiful, you'll definitely like it." She looked at Xiao Ming's excited face, and her heart was full of happiness.
"So when are we going to buy new school supplies?" Xiao Ming couldn't wait to ask.
"Wait a few days, it's not time for school yet. Grandma Zhang smiled and said, "When the time comes, let's go and choose together, okay?"
Grandma Zhang touched Xiao Ming's hair dotingly, "You are really getting more and more sensible." "
The daughter-in-law was also smiling on the side, "It seems that Xiao Ming can't wait to go to school." "
"yes, he's been studying hard lately. Grandma Zhang said with relief, "I believe he will perform well." "
Xiao Ming nodded excitedly, "I will definitely study hard, grandma, don't worry!"
The family chatted and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm. Grandma Zhang looked at the scene in front of her and felt extremely satisfied.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Grandma Zhang went to open the door and found that it was a staff member.
"Hello, I'm here to inform you that Xiao Ming's grant application has been approved. The staff smiled and said, "You can come and get your grant." "
Grandma Zhang nodded excitedly, "Thank you so much! "
She happily returned to the house, "Xiao Ming, your subsidy application has passed, let's go get it now!"
Xiao Ming cheered, "Great! Let's go!"
The family immediately went out to the government department. Grandma Zhang and her daughter-in-law are extremely gratified, and this subsidy is undoubtedly a relief for them.
Finally, they got the grant. Xiao Ming happily counted the bills in his hand, "Grandma, we can buy more fun things!"
Grandma Zhang smiled and nodded, "Yes, we can plan it well." "
Back home, they discussed how they would use the grant. Xiao Ming offered to buy some school supplies, and Grandma Zhang and her daughter-in-law also agreed.
"Then let's go buy it tomorrow, you can pick what you like. Grandma Zhang said softly.
"Great!" Xiao Ming jumped up happily, "What else can we buy?"
Grandma Zhang and her daughter-in-law listed some items that could be purchased one by one, and Xiao Ming nodded excitedly.
The daughter-in-law nodded, "Good idea, let's go pick the right computer together tomorrow." "
Grandma Zhang smiled and said, "Then it's decided, we'll go out together tomorrow." "
Xiao Ming cheered and couldn't wait to go shopping. Grandma Zhang looked at his innocent appearance and felt full of warmth and happiness in her heart.
"Grandma, can I learn to code?" Xiao Ming asked expectantly.
Grandma Zhang nodded, "Of course you can, as long as you like." She smiled and said, "Grandma will always have your back." "
Xiao Ming happily hugged Grandma Zhang, "Thank you so much, grandma!"
The daughter-in-law also said gratefully: "Mom, thank you so much for taking care of Xiao Ming all the time. With you, our family will be so happy. "
Grandma Zhang nodded with satisfaction, "This is what I should do, and I am already very satisfied to see you safe and happy." "
The family bought some school supplies in the supermarket, and Xiao Ming excitedly ran around with his new purchases. Grandma Zhang and her daughter-in-law looked at him with a smile on the side, feeling this precious warmth.
Back at home, Tom couldn't wait to start learning programming. Grandma Zhang was busy cooking dinner, wanting to prepare a hearty meal for the whole family.
"Daughter-in-law, go and accompany Xiao Ming, I can handle dinner alone." Grandma Zhang said gently.
The daughter-in-law nodded, "Okay, Mom." She walked up to Xiao Ming and patiently taught him.
Grandma Zhang was busy in the kitchen, occasionally looking up at the living room. Seeing the happy appearance of the family, her heart was full of happiness.
In this way, the family gradually lived a happier life.
