Rebirth Autumn Returns to the Countryside

Ding Guihua took a deep breath and forced herself to change the subject: "I brought you here because I wanted to discuss Qiu'er's high school enrollment. Our Qiu'er got the top score in the imperial examination!"

The second aunt looked disillusioned with the world: "His aunt, you should be more careful! If you insist on going down this path and not looking for someone else, then you can't let Xiaoqiu pass the exam. She has already passed the exam with the top scorer, how can the child still be yours? They are all born for big cities, the country, and society! The top scorer, don't you say that all schools are vying for him? Maybe if you continue to study, you will have to study abroad, and you will be left alone, what will you do?"

"Oh, oh, oh, I've heard of children who went abroad and refused to come back. The old man was so pitiful. He couldn't even see his children before he died. You have to wait for him to take a leave from his work abroad and settle his wife and children abroad. Then buy the plane ticket - oh, you will be dead by the time you come back! He still has other children to take care of him when he died. What about you, aunt?"

Uncle Ding: "Your Xiaoqiu is not close to us, but we have nothing to complain about. We haven't taken care of this child in these years. But Xiaoqiu is too single, and she has a promising future, so she will definitely fly away. We are also worried that you will be alone when you are old."

Ding Guihua had nothing to brag about. What was the point of a daughter being good at studying? Could she take her mother with her when she made it out? What about after she got married? Would she take her mother with her? It would be better to treat a daughter who was not good at studying and had no future. At least she couldn't fly away, so she could find someone nearby to marry and she might come back to see you from time to time.

Grandpa Ding sighed heavily, "Hua'er, you don't want to hear this either, but only your family is willing to tell you this. If it were someone else, we would praise you and say that if the child has a promising future and does well in the exam, he will definitely go to college, so that you can be happy. But who can take care of your future? Only we are worried. Now that Xiaoqiu has made progress, you should think more about yourself. Whether you take another step and have another child or adopt someone else's child, at least you have a complete family."

Ding Guihua first started crying, then she covered her face with her hands and cried.

There were also children crying in the yard. It was great that they were not allowed to play freely. They were not allowed to touch the vegetables and flowers in the greenhouse, or catch the rabbits in the backyard. No one could stop them from running back and forth. Even the fierce faces of Uncle Ding and Second Uncle were useless. The big black dog, like a calf, bared its teeth and raised its paws to hit.

It's a whole mourning scene, what's the point of celebrating?

Later, Grandma Ding was the only one left in Ding Guihua's room, and the mother and daughter could talk about their more personal thoughts.

She is indeed a real mother. The deep affection she had when she led her sons to make a scene at the Leng family and carried her daughter back home is now even deeper: "Hua'er, let me make it clear to you that the family fortune you have earned must be left for the next child. If you insist on complaining about the money being too much, just give Xiaoqiu more dowry in the future."

Ding Guihua: "No, mother, the family fortune was earned by Xiaoqiu. I didn't do much, but Xiaoqiu still asked me to put my name on the car and the house. Xiaoqiu said that she would take me with her wherever she went in the future. I have my own money. When she gets married, she won't live with Xiaoqiu. I can just live close to her and I won't be a burden to the child."

"You are still confused! What we just said was in vain!" Grandma Ding beat her chest and stamped her feet, "Will your daughter follow you when she goes abroad in the future? Don't say that you have no money to live nearby. You have money, do you know the people over there? Can you understand what they say? Are you stupid? You have been disobedient since you were young, and you have to follow that bastard Leng Zhiqiang like drinking honey, and nine oxen can't pull you back! What happened when you got there? If your mother hadn't come to save you, you would have died in the Leng family! You are a good-for-nothing, and now you are rushing back to Ma Liu Village to settle down, without considering your second half of life at all. You want your mother to worry to death, and you won't be able to close your eyes even after you die, right?"

Ding Guihua burst into tears again. Her mother was really worried that she would be helpless for the rest of her life. She had indeed been a complete loser in the first half of her life.

Grandma Ding wiped her eyes and seemed to have made up her mind: "Hua'er, you should try to find another family before you are forty. If you can't find one, I will make the decision to adopt one of your brother's grandsons. He doesn't even need to change his name. He will follow you directly. You are his biological aunt. If you take good care of the child, how can he not respect you when he grows up? I will be relieved."

This idea really has all the benefits and is suitable in every aspect.

Ding Guihua: "Mom, you really don't have to take care of me like this. Children are precious nowadays, and no family would be willing to give one to someone else for adoption. I can live well even if I'm left alone in the future, really!"

She has so many talents, a house, a car, a farm, and savings...

Grandma Ding: "Don't worry about whether they are willing to give it up or not. I have discussed with your father that you can adopt whichever child you like. They are all members of the Ding family, and they are not allowed to change their surnames. As an aunt, you want to raise a child for them, and he can live with you in the building and go to school in the city. Who would not be happy? I told my mother to raise the youngest one, or the oldest one is fine. It's easy to raise and can keep you company. The boys can also protect the house. Don't think that you three women are safe. The richer you are, the less safe you are!"

How come this is like a done deal? Ding Guihua was nervous: "Don't worry, mom. I won't raise other people's children, no matter who tells me to! I've just gotten comfortable. Look, mom, I don't need a house, a car, or money, right? And I have space, which will keep me safe!"

"What? What safe room did you say?"

Ding Guihua's eyes were evasive, but she still looked eager to try. Otherwise, she would show off her unique skills and let her mother see them to open her eyes, so that she could be completely relieved, right?

"It's just space. There are mountains, water and fields. You can grow anything you want. It's enough space and it grows fast. Mom, close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes. I want to go in, I want to go in."

Ding Guihua's voice was trembling, her head and face were covered in sweat, mixed with the traces of tears from just now, and the skin in her hair, face, and neck felt like it was being pricked by needles.

And again—and again I can’t get in!

After holding it in for so long, I finally got a chance to show off a little, the chance to show off to my dearest mother, but it’s gone.

It was as if all the strength had been drained from my body.

Grandma Ding: "I've opened my eyes. What are you asking me to look at? It's just a farm with less than 20 mu of land. Didn't I just see it? There aren't many things raised there, and they hired a bunch of people to work. You just have too much money and don't know where to spend it, right?"

Ding Guihua wiped her sweat in an upset manner. Not being able to enter the space this time was no different from the previous times. It was a good thing that the space was repairing itself. Why should she be so nervous?
