Bai Lisa supported her father and went into the main room with her son's adoptive mother, and then went into the adoptive mother's room.
The foster mother took out two letters from a drawer.
"Here, this letter has Jizu's address on it. He's been in Shenzhen for two years, and he only wrote us two letters a year to let us know he's safe. This kid, ah..."
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Bai Lisa took the letter, looked at her father happily, then immediately took out a pen and paper from her bag and wrote down the address.
After copying it, she tentatively asked, "Auntie, can my dad and I take a look at the contents of this letter?"
"You can read it if you want. His father said there are only a few words in the letter."
"Oh, thank you, Auntie. We still want to take a look."
Seeing that her adoptive mother had no objection, Bai Lisa immediately excitedly took out a letter from the envelope, unfolded it in front of Bai Zhenting, and read it with him.
There were only a few words in the letter.
The general meaning was that he was doing a good job at the construction site and asked his family not to worry about him.
When he becomes a contractor and makes a lot of money, he will go home.
After reading two short letters with similar contents, Bai Zhenting asked his adoptive mother, "Sister, is Jizu working in the construction industry?"
"Yes, before he went out to work, he learned to be a bricklayer from his second brother-in-law and helped people build houses in the town together."
"Two years ago, when he heard someone making a fortune in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, he got itchy and insisted on going there to work. We couldn't stop him."
"Well, if you want to go, go ahead. You should go home at least once a year. But this kid is only thinking about making a lot of money and doesn't even miss home."
"You said that big money won't fall from the sky, how can it be so easy to earn it?"
"If he doesn't make a lot of money in the next ten or eight years, then his father and I won't be able to see him for another ten or eight years, and won't be able to hold our grandchildren either. Oh!"
"Don't worry too much, big sister. From what you said, it seems like Jizu is an ambitious child, which is a good thing."
"I'll write to him tomorrow and advise him to come back home no matter whether he makes money in Shenzhen or not."
"It wasn't easy for you and Brother Shu to raise him. He must remember your kindness in raising him!"
"Hey, Big Brother Bai, I'm going to tell you something you don't want to hear. He has no feelings for you, so he may not listen to your advice."
Hearing their adoptive mother's blunt words, Bai Zhenting and Bai Lisa both showed a hint of embarrassment on their faces.
A sense of loss and sadness welled up in my heart.
Isn't it? How can a child who is sent away still have feelings for them and listen to them?
If you can stop hating them, you have to burn incense and pray to Buddha!
However, he is Shu Jizu's grandfather after all, two generations older than him. As long as he is still a reasonable child, he will at least listen to him, right?
Bai Zhenting comforted himself in his heart.
Then he said, "Big sister, no matter whether Jizu will listen to the advice of a grandfather like me, I still have to persuade him, right?"
"After all, I, as his grandfather, am the one who feels the most sorry for him. If he doesn't have a good life outside, I am also responsible..."
"dad……"
Hearing her father blaming himself so much at his old age, Bai Lisa felt even more sad and guilty.
The son was born to her, so if we are to talk about responsibility, it is her responsibility.
It is not the responsibility of the old father.
She choked up and called out "father", then looked into the room and saw several photos inlaid on the glass of the upper door of a wardrobe.
Then he walked closer to take a look.
In two of the old black-and-white photos, she recognized at a glance a boy who looked to be in his teens. He should be her son Shu Jizu.
Compared to the younger son, the older son who was sent away does look more like his mother.
No wonder his adoptive mother spoke to her in a bad tone when she saw her today. She must have guessed who she was at first sight.
Bai Zhenting saw Bai Lisa looking at photos in front of the cabinet, and then he walked over to take a look.
After looking at it carefully for a while, he turned around and asked, "Big sister, do you have any photos of your stepfather at home? Can you give me one?"
"Where are his photos? There are only those two, and they're mounted on the cabinet door. It's hard to get them out!"
"Oh, never mind, never mind..."
"I'm already very grateful to be able to see the photo of my stepfather when he was little today. Sister, I'm really sorry that my father and I came here so abruptly to disturb you today. Sasha——"
"Yes, Dad!"
Seeing her father's gesture, Bai Lisa immediately took out a thick envelope from her bag and handed it to her father.
There are two thousand dollars in this envelope.
It was originally prepared as a gift for Shu Jizu.
If Shu Jizu married and had children, it would be a gift to his wife or children.
Now that he is gone, I have no choice but to give him to his adoptive mother.
Bai Zhenting stuffed the envelope of money into Shu Jizu's adoptive mother's hands and thanked her, "Big sister, you and Brother Shu have worked so hard to raise Jizu over the years."
"These two thousand yuan are a small token of our appreciation to you and your wife from Sasha and me. You must accept them."
"How can I accept so much money?"
"Big sister, you must accept it. If you don't, Sasha and I will feel embarrassed. Big sister, please accept it quickly! It's getting late and we have to go back."
"this……"
"Take it quickly, take it!"
"Hey, Big Brother Bai is so polite. I'll accept it!"
Shu Jizu's adoptive mother pretended to refuse, then immediately stuffed the envelope into her trouser pocket with a happy look on her face.
Then, he politely asked Bai Zhenting and Bai Lisa to have lunch at home.
