Where is the child's way out

While I was packing up my things to change the medicine, I asked her: "You two go out to earn money, how inconvenient is it to take the child, have you considered putting the child in your hometown?" The woman smiled broadly and replied, "Don't worry, we can't take care of it in our hometown." ”

I didn't see you take good care of it when I was around! This time, if it were not for the child's life, with the transfer method and speed of these two mouths at that time, God knows what the child would be like when he was sent to the hospital. After the belly slander, I continued to ask, "Where do the children plan to go to school in the future?" ”

She looked at me blankly, seemed to think about it, and shook her head halfway: "I don't know, let's talk about it later." ”

Seeing her somewhat indifferent look, I couldn't help but say: "It is very necessary to go to school, you have to make plans early, if you delay, the child does not go to school well, where is the way out in the future?" ”

She continued to sniff the nuts with her head down, obviously not interested in the subject: "Well, we are like this, there is no way out." ”

The atmosphere was silent. In the middle of the night, she asked me again: "Doctor, will the doll have problems walking later?" ”

I wiped the incision with a cotton ball, and the standard answer automatically flowed out of my mouth: "The prognosis depends on the specific situation, regular review, and professional rehabilitation exercises are also needed in the later stage, and recovery should still be OK." Looking up and seeing her blank eyes, I added: "It is to go back to the hospital every once in a while to check how the bones look, and whether they need to be treated again." Looking at her expression of finally realizing, I couldn't help but ask: "The woman who hit the child, did you contact you after the operation was done?" ”

She shook her head. I thought about it and asked, "Don't you hate her?" She didn't nod or shake her head, with an expression of indistinct description on her face. She lowered her head again and continued to sniff her nuts.

I looked at the little boy on the bed who was humming and crying because of the hot plaster cast, and my heart suddenly felt a daze.

The standard of living limits their access to a better education, and the ignorance and ignorance that comes with the lack of education make them unaware of how to gain a foothold in this great city, which has long been out of touch with them, of how to ask for help, not of defending their rights, of even what rights they have, of what treatment they should have as citizens, and that the little compensation from the perpetrators is even a noble almsgiving in their eyes.

They survive here, but they don't know how to live in the city. They are very young, and when they are still in a state of confusion, they rush to create new lives to "pass on from generation to generation".

How will the next generation that will be used to take over the generation grow up?

How to remedy this endless cycle of problems? How to change? There is no answer.

The child recovers quickly and can be discharged from the hospital in about 3 weeks. Before leaving, the consultant led Zhang Yue all the way behind the busy couple, repeatedly instructing the posture requirements for holding the child and the precautions after returning home, and instructing several times to come back for review. The wife responded with a humble gesture, heroically holding the child on her shoulder, the other hand carrying a huge woven bag, the husband carrying the luggage roll and following behind, and the family of three quickly walked out of the ward gate.

For us, this farce is finally over.

But for the child, the farce of his life may have just begun.
