Married to a Disabled Man in the 70s - Chapter 122

When Song Tianning was young, Su Jiaojiao and Song Qinghan didn’t really feel like parents. They just thought that he couldn’t speak, and could only eat and sleep. Song Tianning was like a doll. He was cute, and fragile, and they needed to protect him with their love.

Ji Ya had stopped going to work, and she could concentrate on taking care of Song Tianning. Song Huaijin also wanted to retire to take care of him, but he couldn’t. However, he played with his grandson for a long time every day after getting off work. Sometimes, Su Jioajiao and SOng Qinghan even let Song Tianning sleep in his grandparents’ room.

They can feed him milk powder if he gets hungry anyways.

Because of this, Su Jiaojiao and Song Qinghan weren’t needed often, and their job was basically to play with Song Tianning.

When Song Tianning was four months old, everything in the family was going smoothly. Song Huaijin arranged for Song Qinghan to start working in the brick factory.

Song Qinghan had recently found a school to be affiliated with. Last year, he got the top ten in the exam and got a diploma, so he could be considered to have a junior high school education level. It wasn’t out of the ordinary for him to go to work in a factory.

The brick factory wasn’t busy. Song Qinghan got to leave work on time, and had a fixed salary and benefits. After getting off work, he studied with Su Jiaojiao and did his homework. [1] Although Song Qinghan’s relationship with his wife had improved, on the contrary, he had slightly neglected his son.

Song Tianning was one year old when he said the word ‘mother’ for the first time. Su Jiaojiao’s heart seemed to be hit by a pang of emotion, full of sorrow but also joy.

She had become a mother!

At that moment, she finally realized deep in her heart that she was no longer a child, but a mother who had to take responsibility for her son’s life.

Song Qinghan was a little better than her. Although he was also hit by that pang of emotion, his eyes were only a little red. He paid more attention and treated Song Tianning better after that, but there wasn’t much change aside from that.

However, Su Jiaojiao was in a daze for a long time and started to worry.

“Qinghan, what if I don’t teach Tiantian well and he becomes a scumbag when he grows up?” One night, Su Jiaojiao suddenly asked Song Qinghan this question.

Song Qinghan was stunned by her thought process, but he still answered her very seriously, “Then you just have to teach him well. My parents will also help you, so he won’t become a scumbag.”

Su Jiaojiao whispered, “But didn’t they raise Song Yu’an? He didn’t turn out very well!”

After saying this, Su Jiaojiao felt a little guilty, but it’s true. Song Yu’an didn’t turn out the best after being raised by them.

Although Song Yu’an had came over a few times to ask the Song parents for money, they didn’t agree because they wanted to save money for their son and grandson. However, his personality was clearly evident from these interactions.

Now, Song Huaijin and Ji Ya doted on their grandson even more than they doted on Song Yu’an back then. They practically gave him anything he wanted, and didn’t scold him even when he peed on the food.

Song Qinghan furrowed his brows. He started to seriously think about this issue together with Su Jiaojiao, and he agreed, “Yes, we have to put more effort into Tiantian’s education.”

Su Jiaojiao nodded vigorously, “From tomorrow, I will formulate a growth plan for Song Tianning, so he won’t become a scumbag in the future like Song Yu’an!”

Song Qinghan patted her head in praise, “Come on, wifey, I’ll help you.”

……

Song Tianning was being coaxed to sleep by his grandparents in another room. He was about to fall asleep when he suddenly felt a chill behind his back and started wailing.

Ji Ya was at a loss, “What’s the matter? Weren’t you about to go to sleep just a second ago? Lao Song, are you pressing on your grandson’s hands or feet?”

Song Huaijin got up quickly, took a closer look, and said blankly, “No!”

Armos D. Platypus: A good education is important! They’re taking steps to make their son be the best he can be.

[1] I’m going to assume Song Qinghan’s being taught by Su Jiaojiao, since that seems like the most obvius answer. Night school exists, but if I remember correctly, not in the 70s!
