In the matter of visiting their children in Tokyo, the old couple had three sons and two daughters. Except for the second son who died in battle, all the other children had a bright future. The unmarried youngest daughter was by his side. , The third son was in Osaka. The old couple went to Tokyo for the first time. They wanted to have a good time, but when they saw that their children were very busy, they felt sorry for them, so they went back in a hurry. Soon their mother died. , making people sigh, the son and daughter are not as good as the second daughter-in-law who has not remarried, she took leave to accompany the second elder to play; invited her parents-in-law to eat at her very small home; the elders had no place to live, so the mother-in-law chose to live there; Return the money to the old man; when my mother-in-law died, she stayed with her for the longest time. In stark contrast, her biological children were always busy with work, and when there was a chance in the future, their parents were not good to themselves before, and they neglected the old man and were reluctant to be there. The elderly spend more money, and the grandchildren and the elderly are also incompatible. If the younger daughter gets married, what will the old father do in the future? Extend the sigh of what is the use of adopting children. "There are many infatuated parents since ancient times, who have met their filial children and grandchildren." Everyone will grow old one day, think about who will be by your side in the end?
