In December 1994, the construction of the Three Gorges Dam project on the mainland officially began, and after the completion of the entire Three Gorges Project, the water level is expected to rise to 175 meters. Therefore, before the Three Gorges Dam is completed, villagers below the 175-meter water mark must move away from their original residences.
A total of more than 800 villagers in Zhang Bingai's family's village belong to people who need to be relocated, while Zhang Bing'ai's family, who are below the 135-meter water level, has become the only one of the more than 800 villagers who has not moved.
In 2002, the people of the same village have all moved away, and only One household is left under the 135-meter water level line, so Zhang Bing'ai's family has naturally become a "nail household" in the eyes of others, and the "nail household" is mostly a boring "obstacle" in the end, while Zhang Bing'ai's family is forced by life and has to become a "nail household".
It's not the people who are miserable
Zhang Bing'ai's husband is a disabled person with a leg disease, before marrying her husband, Zhang Bing'ai was another favorite, but she was forcibly separated by her father and forced her to marry the husband with a leg disability.
However, the father of the Zhang family would rather disobey his daughter's wishes and bear the risk of being hated by his daughter but also insist on doing so, at that time, it was indeed for his daughter Zhang Bing'ai to be able to live a good life in the future.
In the rural areas of Hubei in the 1980s, the gap between life on the mountain and below the mountain was extremely large, and most of the peasant households living on the mountain only relied on farming to survive, and they could only earn two or three cents a day in the farmland; while the peasant households under the mountains on the Yangtze River could get more than two yuan of income for a day of work.
The huge gap between the rich and the poor on the mountain and the bottom of the mountain, as well as the convenience of water and transportation under the mountain, made the villagers on the mountain very envious and yearned for the life under the mountain, so at that time, marrying his daughter to the mountain by the river became a happy event that everyone envied.
Therefore, in order to let his daughter Zhang Bing'ai live a good life, Zhang's father cruelly chose to beat the Mandarin duck, and Zhang's father at that time even thought that even if he married a disabled person, as long as he could marry and live by the river, he would also enjoy happiness.
However, contrary to his wishes, Zhang Bing'ai's father's favorite family name is Xiong, because at that time people will have a lot of children, the Xiong family is naturally no exception, so the Xiong family does not attach great importance to the son with a leg disability that Zhang Bing'ai wants to marry, and even the parents of the Xiong family are also so-so for Zhang Bing'ai's daughter-in-law, and even the wedding clothes prepared for Zhang Bing'ai are random to infuriating.
A cheap shirt, a pair of sky blue pants that are shortened by more than half a cut, is the new clothes prepared by the in-laws for Zhang Bing'ai, when Zhang Bing'ai saw the in-laws' such a casual attitude, plus she was forced to marry the Xiong family, this should have been the best day in her life, Zhang Bing'ai had such a bad life, so when she saw the embarrassing new clothes prepared for her by the in-laws, Zhang Bing'ai's suppressed emotions finally broke out.
However, in addition to crying, zhang Bing'ai could do anything, and even when she cried bitterly, no one was around her to comfort and persuade her. A pair of rustic mesh shoes, a dress that was cheaper than what she usually wore, Zhang Bing'ai was married.
In that kind of life, gambling can't solve any problem, marriage has been married, Zhang Bing'ai's character is still tenacious, and the days must always be passed. Therefore, on the second day of the new marriage, Zhang Bing'ai got up early to wash clothes with water, and she maintained the diligent and hard work when she was at her mother's house, and it was this kind of hard work that allowed Zhang Bing'ai to support the bitter life.
Before marriage, I never knew each other, naturally I couldn't talk about feelings, at the beginning Zhang Bing'ai's husband was even a little indifferent to Zhang Bing'ai, he just quietly watched Zhang Bing'ai's busyness, until the days later, he put Zhang Bing'ai's hard work on his heart, and began to help Zhang Bing'ai to do some of the work he could, because his legs were disabled, so he couldn't do heavy work.
Therefore, in ordinary people's homes, it is the male protagonist and the female protagonist, but in Zhang Bing'ai, this is completely reversed, Zhang Bing'ai's husband can only do some easy work, and the dirty work is all Zhang Bing'ai himself.
Under the high-intensity labor, Zhang Bing'ai once miscarried because of overwork, which was her first pregnancy. Because of lack of experience, so when the stomach hurt, Zhang Bing'ai did not know what the situation was, nor did he know what to do, when he returned to his father's house, he fainted in pain in the coal pile in front of the house, and he did not know how long it took to wake up, Zhang Bing'ai's first child was lost. Fortunately, after that, Zhang Bing'ai had a son and a daughter.
Reduced to "nail household"
Day by day is spent in hard work, Zhang Bing'ai's life is hard but also calm. However, the arrival of a message in 1996 left Zhang Bingai's family in a daze.
Due to the needs of the Three Gorges Dam project, all residents below the 175-meter water line have to move away, and Zhang Bing'ai's home is below the 135-meter water level, and the previously rich and convenient riverside life has now become a trouble that needs to completely change the original life.
Zhang Bing'ai's family's life almost all depends on her alone in the hardships of support, and Zhang Bing'ai is an authentic farmer, she does nothing but farming, can not do heavy work husband, still young children to pull, stay in the hometown, good father and brother can also help, if really moved to the field, Zhang Bing'ai really does not know how they want to live, how to continue the life of this big family.
Therefore, in the face of the relocation and mobilization of village cadres, Zhang Bing'ai was extremely frightened, and she had to refuse to move out, which was not her choice, but a choice of life, and she could only choose this way to live. Considering that Zhang Bing'ai's family was indeed in a special situation, the village also agreed to Zhang Bing'ai's proposal to lean back on the spot.
In June 1996, the first villagers in the village began to move out. By 2002, all the people in the same village had moved away, and only Zhang Bing'ai's family was left under the 135-meter water level.
In the house, Zhang Bing'ai is sewing shoes for his daughter, Zhang Bing'ai's daughter Lingzhi is about to take the exam, and there are more places that need money, the cost of the entrance examination needs 12 yuan, the photo needs 1 yuan, and there are other various expenses, looking at the drawer only 29 yuan 5 corners of the Ganoderma lucidum only took 27 yuan, Lingzhi while taking the money while whispering "all kinds of fees, there are only 10 yuan of food expenses left." ”
Zhang Bing'ai heard her daughter's words and asked Lingzhi to take all the money, but Lingzhi knew that her mother was hard, and she understood her mother, and in the end she only took one more yuan. Wearing the shoes sewn by his mother, Lingzhi went out the door with joy.
Sending her daughter away, Zhang Bing'ai dug up some vegetables in the field, cooked them and put them into a lunch box, which she was going to take to the county for her son who was in high school.
His son is the pride of Zhang Bingai, he is the only one in the village to be admitted to the county key, but in the past two years, due to the impact of the relocation, Zhang Bingai's son's performance has declined a lot. Zhang Bing'ai gave his son a few hundred yuan of hard-earned money as living expenses, and then advised him not to worry about the family's affairs...
After sending money to her son, Zhang Bing'ai braved the rain to return home, and now, her family has become a "nail household" in the eyes of others. Six years ago, the village had agreed to lean back on her, but for six years, Zhang Bing'ai's homestead had not been approved, because all of their villages had moved out, leaving only her single family's backring to become a trouble of "isolation and helplessness".
It's really hard to build a house
In the past six years, cadres have been able to come in batches, but all of them have persuaded Zhang Bing'ai's family to move out. The cadres and Zhang Bing'ai talked about the benefits of various emigrations, but no matter how much the cadres talked about the flowers, Zhang Bing'ai did not dare to agree, she was a farmer, and only with land could she have a sense of security, so that she could leave her hometown, she did not know how to support herself.
Therefore, Zhang Bing'ai has always insisted on leaning back on the spot, and she does not ask for anything else, give her a homestead, and let her build a house by herself. In the end, Zhang Bingai's family's approved homestead is on a remote hillside, the foundation will be very difficult to level, and there is no water, electricity and no roads, and the fields from Zhang Bing'ai's family are far from a headache.
What's more, in the matter of building a house, the husband can't contribute at all, only rely on Zhang Bing's love for a woman, building a house in such a place, how can she build the house. In the end, Zhang Bing'ai's family could not agree to build a house there, so they still lived in the old house.
In February 2003, the water level of the Yangtze River rose to 135 meters, and the Zhangjia hut was completely submerged under the water. Zhang Bing'ai's family, who had no house, first built a shed in their own field for a year, and finally used all the housing subsidy of 4800 yuan to buy several shacks on the side of the road, and lived for several years. The experience of Zhang Bing'ai's family can't help but be lamented, and what exactly caused Zhang Bing'ai's family to suffer such hardships.
brief summary:
In July 2002, Zhang Bing'ai's son Changwen failed the college entrance examination, and he gave up the opportunity to repeat the study and went to Xinjiang as a soldier. It wasn't until Zhang Bing'ai's son saved enough money for the family to build a house that Zhang Bing'ai's family had a house again and a home that really belonged to them.
Zhang Bing'ai failed to marry his crush because of his father's kind but wrong choice, and suffered from life because of her husband's inability to do anything, but even so, Zhang Bing'ai never complained about her father and husband, complaining that she could not solve any problems, and life could only continue on its own.
