WangZheng’s grandpa took her home
At sight of her grandpa, WangZheng couldn’t help smiling happily. Having lived in my home for about 40 days, WangZheng doesn’t still get used to live with us. After all, she is just a girl of 9 years of age.
Last week, I called WangZheng’s grandpa who lives in a faraway village, and told him that I had at present no time take care of WangZhang as well as my daughter who would go to my father’s home. He asked me if it’s possible that WangZheng could attend school in the city together with my daughter. Regretly I told him that I had no time to meet her granddaughter and walk her home after school. Then he said that I can take WangZheng when I took my daughter home after school.
I did tell him that WangZheng could attend school in the city if she could get used to live with us. But after 40 days, I found that I didn’t have the confidence of taking good care of her who have really worried me for some times. To have a little girl attend school in the city and live with us means not only money but also many responsibilities, her safety, her health, her education. I don’t have the confidence of guaranteeing all of them.
In addition, It’s my mother-in-law to meet my daughter after school every day. my wife is strongly against my plan of having WangZheng attend school here. Therefore, I can’t ask my mother-in-law to take care of WangZheng.
So I told WangZheng’s grandpa that her granddaughter can’t attend school in the city, because it’s inconvenient to meet her after school. He sounded sort of disappointed on the other end of the line. But I didn’t have other choice. I had taken thing too lightly and carelessly.
This is my second time of trying the same thing, and failed again.
