Chapter 477: My adopted sister returned to her hometown to farm (2)
Old Mrs. Yao did not have any prejudice or mistreatment towards Yao Sisi just because she was a girl.
On the contrary, she even brought out the same determination that she had when she cultivated her son Yao Tianming, and was determined to train her granddaughter into a talented person.
Ever since she brought her granddaughter back home, she has been working hard to save money. Even the pension left by her son and daughter-in-law, she tries not to spend a single cent.
When Yao Sisi was a little over two years old, Song Tao, Yao Tianming’s former comrade-in-arms, came to the Yao family.
When he walked into the yard, he was surprised to find that Old Mrs. Yao had gone to work in the fields alone, leaving her young children alone at home.
What's worse is that a pig in the pigsty escaped and was approaching the unsuspecting Yao Sisi.
If Song Tao had not arrived in time and rescued the child, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Song Tao, who already had a son but had always longed to have a caring daughter, couldn't help but come up with the idea of adopting Yao Sisi after seeing this scene.
So, he and his wife picked up Yao Sisi and sat quietly in Old Lady Yao's house waiting for her return.
Song Tao's wife Fang Jing looked around at this simple house and the dirty environment. She couldn't help but feel her eyes red and tears welled up in her eyes.
She said with a trembling and choking voice: "Old Song, if Linlin knew that Sisi lived in such an environment, she..."
Fang Jing and Wei Linlin are good friends.
At the beginning, Wei Linlin and Yao Tianming were brought together by a couple.
Wei Linlin is a doctor. Due to her professional habits, she has a mild obsession with cleanliness. In addition, her family's financial situation is relatively good, so she is very particular about her life in her daily life.
Fang Jing had expressed her admiration for her friend's great taste in life countless times.
Before coming here, Fang Jing could imagine that the living conditions of the Yao family might not be good, but when she saw the little girl who used to be fair and tender, now so dark and dirty, she felt very uncomfortable.
At this time, Yao Sisi was wearing ill-fitting clothes, and there was black mud in the gaps between her fingernails.
Of course, Song Tao knew that Yao Sisi might not have a good life here, but he also understood that this was the best life that Old Lady Yao could provide.
After all, Yao Sisi is still young, and an old lady has little ability to make a living. Even if the army gave her a pension and left some property, the old lady probably wouldn't dare to use it.
The child is still young, so we should save as much as possible. His future education will be the biggest expense.
Old Mrs. Yao didn't come back very late because someone from the village went to the fields to inform her.
When she heard that her son's comrades-in-arms were coming to visit her, she was stunned for a moment, but then she quickly walked home.
My son and daughter-in-law have been gone for almost a year, and there are still people who remember them!
As soon as she entered the room, Old Lady Yao's face turned red, but because of her dark skin, it was not noticeable.
Yao Sisi, this "mud monkey", was really held in the arms of a very beautiful woman.
What embarrassed her most was that Yao Sisi left two handprints on the woman's coat.
But the woman was still feeding her granddaughter Yao Sisi gently.
As soon as she walked in, Old Mrs. Yao could still smell the aroma of food.
She had not eaten this thing many times, but she had seen it at her son's house before. It was said to be a "cake" that tasted very good.
"Sorry, I was just working in the fields." Old Mrs. Yao rubbed her hands on her clothes, but they were still a little dirty, so she quickly went to get a ladle of water, wanting to wash them clean before shaking hands with the couple.
Song Tao was originally worried that Old Lady Yao would be difficult to talk to, but when he saw her attitude, he was instantly relieved.
This comrade's mother should be a reasonable person.
Come to think of it, if his good friend Yao Tianming didn’t have a good mother, he probably wouldn’t be like that.
"Aunt, I'm a good friend of Tianming!" Song Tao didn't wait for Old Lady Yao to wash her hands, but shook hands with her directly. "I was transferred to a new place, and I have to pass by here, so I came to see them."
When Old Lady Yao saw that the other party did not despise her, she knew that the other party must be a good person, so she hurriedly said: "Tianming and his wife are on the mountain on our side. It's too late to come today. I will go and see you tomorrow."
"Okay, auntie!" Song Tao handed over a suitcase he had brought with him, "These are the clothes and biscuits we bought for Sisi!"
Old Mrs. Yao was a little hesitant, not knowing whether she should take it or not!
Seeing that the other party was a little embarrassed, Fang Jing quickly explained: "Aunt, it's not expensive, and Sisi also likes to eat this cookie. Speaking of which, Linlin also liked this taste before."
Speaking of friends, Fang Jing felt a little depressed.
Wei Linlin's "departure" was like a heavy rain in her heart, and she didn't know when this dampness would completely end.
Old Lady Yao explained with some embarrassment: "It's not that I don't want to accept it, but it's hard to buy clothes and food here. Sisi is still young, and I'm afraid that after she finishes eating, she will need me to get more for her."
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!
Since there is no way to always provide good conditions for your granddaughter, it is better to be frugal.
