introduction
i)
Zhang Siyuan, a young man in Chongqing, was sent to Nanjiang County at the age of 18. The production team built two new houses specifically for him on the hillside. Zhang Zhiyuan is the only intellectual in the team, and his neighbors are Yu Linhai and his wife. Yu Linhai is 12 years older than Zhang Zhiyuan, and his wife is Hu Tingxiu, a diligent and capable rural woman. The couple was in their 30s and already had four sons.
Because they have many children and their lives are quite difficult, Zhang Zhiyuan will help them do some housework within their ability after work. To this end, Zhang Zhiyuan's relationship with the couple is getting better and better.
Zhang Zhiyuan likes to visit the Lin family at night, and the couple talks about their four children the most. For poor families, children are wealth and children are their hope.
Zhang Zhiyuan had to take a leave of absence to go to the hospital to take care of Lin Hai. As a Zhiqing, he went to the grain station to get food stamps to pay for Yu Linhai's food, and he also personally fed Yu Linhai water and delivered medicine, and urinated on the stool, which moved Yu Linhai to tears over and over again. But Yu Linhai was suffering from an incurable disease, and when he was dying, he took Zhang Zhiyuan's hand and said: Brother, I owe you too much, and I will repay you in the next life!
Zhang Zhiyuan said: I came to Linjiang from Chongqing thousands of miles away, and meeting you is fate.
Yu Linhai also said: What I can't rest assured of is your sister-in-law and four children.
Finally, Yu Linhai grabbed Zhang Zhiyuan's hand and closed his eyes.

Yu Linhai left in such a hurry. Zhang Zhiyuan helped take care of his aftermath. At the funeral, Hu Tingxiu cried to death and came back to life. She choked up and said: You are so cruel to go, how do we let the five of us live?
Yeah, how easy is it for a skinny woman to feed four children? Every time I think of this Zhang Zhiyuan, I think of my commitment to Lin Hai.
In fact, he is only 19 years old, still a big boy, and when he says it, he carries food, water, and sends his children to study, as if he has become the man of this family.
There is a local rule that Zhiqing can go directly to the backwater without queuing. Zhang Zhiyuan went to carry the water and some people gossiped, saying that he ate alone, why do he have to carry several buckets of water a day? Some people say: It is for widows, and people are heroes.
Zhang Zhiyuan wanted to go up and beat up those who were gossiping, but he resisted and left on his back. Back at home, Hu Tingxiu blocked the door and did not let him in, saying that it was not to ruin his reputation, in fact, she had already heard these rumors.
Zhang Zhiyuan spilled water on the ground in a huff, and Hu Tingxiu cried on the spot. Zhang Zhiyuan returned home, and he could still hear her crying. He knew that this 31-year-old woman's tears contained too much heartache and helplessness!
Early the next morning, he went to the next door with the quilt in his arms.
Hu Tingxiu was dressing the child, and Zhang Zhiyuan put the quilt on her bed and said: I want to marry you, see if they dare to gossip! Hu Linxiu was so surprised that he could not speak.
He said: Today we will go and get a marriage license. Hu Tingxiu shook her head and said: No. Zhang Zhiyuan said: Only in this way can they shut up. Hu Tingxiu cried with excitement.
Fathering four unrelated sons, raising them, and nurturing them to become talented is not something that ordinary people can do.
Since then, Zhang Zhiyuan has been running for the livelihood of these four children. He gets up early and works hard, and as long as he can earn money, he will do it. He doesn't spend money indiscriminately and never buys himself a single piece of clothing.
iii)
After a few years, Zhang Zhiyuan became a real rural person, and he learned all kinds of farm work. Autumn is the season of busy farming, but also the time when all kinds of wild beasts frequently appear, wild boars and badgers steal people's grain at night, and protecting autumn has become a bitter, tiring and dangerous job, and most people are reluctant to do it. Zhang Zhiyuan rushed to do it, just in order to earn more work.
One night, in order to chase a wild boar, he ran in the field for most of the night before he caught an opportunity to shoot at the wild boar, but this shot did not hit the point, and the injured wild boar chased after Zhang Zhiyuan, he turned and ran, and accidentally rolled off the cliff.
The next day, Zhang Zhiyuan limped and was about to go out to work again, Hu Tingxiu grabbed him and wouldn't let him go, but he still broke free of her hand. She had to find the captain and send a young offspring to follow him to prevent any more accidents.
The captain said: This Zhang Zhiyuan can't even take care of his life, which line is this?
Zhang Zhiyuan and Hu Tingxiu gave birth to a son and a daughter after marriage, and the burden of life of a family of eight was heavy on his shoulders. This was unexpected by everyone, and he almost became a machine that could work
。
iv)
How can we get out of this predicament? This was the topic he had been thinking about all day, and he finally waited for Zhiqing to return to the city, but he did not leave for a long time. He knew it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but thinking that there were still six children in the family, if he left, how could one woman feed so many children?
Seeing that the Zhiqing of the neighboring team were gone one by one, Hu Tingxiu could not hold his breath, so she said to him: You go, there is a great future for returning to the city. He said: I am gone, what will you and the child do? She said: You are gone, I don't blame you, you took care of me for four years, I will remember for a lifetime.
After speaking, the couple hugged their headaches and cried.
Finally, the people of the Zhiqing Office found Zhang Zhiyuan and said that this was the last chance, and asked him if he could return to the city? Zhang Zhiyuan said decisively: If I don't go back, if I leave, the rest of the mothers will not be able to live.
The comrades of the Zhiqing Office were touched by Zhang Zhiyuan and went through the relevant procedures for him before leaving, leaving a settlement fee of 1200 yuan.
Now, all six children have started a family, and the troubled couple has reached the time of recuperation. For staying in the countryside all his life, Zhang Zhiyuan said that he never regretted it. If Big Brother Yu knew about Izumi, he should be able to see it.
epilogue
Some people may say that he is stupid, and they will think that it is not worth it for him to give up his great future and stay in the countryside and marry a widow.
What he did not only moved us, but also made us admire! Let us wish this couple: bittersweet, happy old age, happy family!
