Hello everyone, I take the time out of my busy schedule today to bring you the following article, welcome to taste it together!
For modern people, wild vegetables may be food that adjusts the taste after big fish and meat, but for twelve-year-old Yang Liujin, wild vegetables with no nutritional value are his only food source.
Since the age of 7, Yang Liujin began to dig wild vegetables to eat, he is very familiar with wild vegetables, when the reporter asked about wild vegetables, Yang Liujin can speak the head is the head: "You see, this wild vegetable I often eat, the leaves are sour and sweet, and this wild vegetable can only eat its roots, and the leaves can not eat ..."
The child's optimism and strength touched the reporter, and the reporter asked: "Child, where has your parents gone, and how willing to let you suffer this kind of suffering." ”
Yang Liujin, who was originally smiling, suddenly sank his face. So, where did the parents of this child go? Why did he live such a life?
Yang Liujin
The boy's life
Yang Liujin was born in a small mountain village in Longlin De'e Town, Guangxi, because he was only six pounds when he was born, so his grandfather gave him a name of six pounds. When Liujin grew to six years old, my mother gave birth to a younger brother, and Liujin was very happy and said to her parents: "When my brother grows up, I will take him to play." ”
This joy did not last long, Liujin's father suddenly fell ill and died suddenly, and Liujin's life fell into darkness. Liujin's mother had just given birth to a child for a few months, unable to raise and bear the burden of a family, so she found another man and decided to take the child to remarry.
However, because the man was six pounds older, even if he was raised, he might be worried about his own father, so he was unwilling to raise six pounds. In order to find a reliance for herself, Liujin's mother could only bear to leave Liujin to his grandparents to raise.
Liujin's mother sneaked away in the middle of the night, liujin woke up, did not see the mother, then wow wow crying, grandparents look very distressed, but there is no way, can only take good care of liujin, try their best to compensate him.
Xiao Liujin is also very sensible, knowing that his grandparents are old and often help them work, but the good times are not long, and his grandparents have died soon after, and Liujin, who is only seven years old, has completely become an orphan.
Liujin's cousin was alone, and seeing that Liujin was really pitiful, he took him to his own home to raise. But the cousin's life is not rich, soon after he went out to work, six pounds is too young to follow him, the cousin left six pounds at home, left him some money, and told him to lock the door at night and pay attention to safety.
At night, when the lights are turned off, there is only six pounds in the whole house, and he is still just a child, so it is inevitable that he will be afraid.
At this time, he will think of his father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother, and think of the happy scenes living with them. The more Liujin thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved and sad, and then he cried loudly, but there was no one to comfort him, and after crying, Liujin went to sleep with tears on his face.
However, after a long time, six pounds is also used to it, he is no longer afraid of sleeping alone, become stronger, learn to wash, cook, take care of himself, every day after school, other children can play with friends on the road, and six pounds do not dare to have the slightest delay, he also has to go home to cook for himself.
It wasn't long before the family had eaten about the same amount of food, but his cousin only gave him ten dollars a week, which was not enough money for him to buy grain.
Therefore, he almost entirely lived by digging wild vegetables in the ground. When he first started digging wild vegetables, he did not understand the varieties of wild vegetables, what he dug up was not very tasty, and he often had diarrhea, but after repeated attempts, Liujin had become a small "wild vegetable expert".
Later, when the reporter interviewed Liujin, Liujin specially took them to the mountain and introduced in detail the varieties of wild vegetables, as well as eating methods and precautions.
In order to test him, the reporter casually dug up a wild vegetable on the mountain and asked: "LiuJin, is this wild vegetable delicious?" ”
Liu Jin smiled and said, "Delicious, sweet and sour." ”
The reporter took another wild vegetable and asked, "What about this?" ”
Liu Jin took a closer look in his hand and said, "The roots of this wild vegetable are still quite delicious, but the leaves cannot be eaten, and they can be fed to pigs." ”
After listening to the words of six pounds, the reporter was curious about the taste of wild vegetables, so he also tried it, who knew that after just chewing twice, the bitter taste of wild vegetables spread to the entire mouth, and it was impossible to swallow at all.
But six pounds of food was eaten every day, and it was eaten for five years.
Received help from the villagers
Liu Jin's optimism and strength were looked at by the villagers, and they felt very distressed, and everyone was willing to help this child and give him some food and clothes.
Although Liujin was not very old, he remembered that the teachers in the school had taught the idiom of "Zhi En Tu Bao", so he did not dare to take the help of the villagers in vain, but offered to help them work to repay.
Most of the villagers were reluctant to accept it, but Liujin said, "If you don't let me help you with your work, I won't want the clothes and food." At the insistence of Liu Jin, the villagers had to hand over to him the work of herding cattle and feeding pigs at home.
Six pounds of work is very serious, when the cattle are always tireless, running to the fattest place of the wild grass, until the cows are full, six pounds will lead the cattle home.
By the time Liujin led the cattle back to the village, the village had already risen with cooking smoke, and it was time to eat, and the villagers would invite Liujin to stay at home to eat, but Liujin felt that he had already received other people's things and should not stay to eat, so he slipped away with a cigarette.
After that, in order to avoid such a situation again, Liujin took the rice up the mountain while herding the cattle, waited until the meal was over, and then delivered the cattle to the villagers' homes.
Before going up the mountain, Liujin would prepare a small box of rice, half a bowl of chili sauce, and when he reached the mountain, he would dig up a few wild vegetables and eat rice with wild vegetables dipped in chili sauce, which was all his meals of the day.
Liu Jin is still in the age of growing up, because he has been eating such non-nutritious food for a long time, resulting in him always being thinner than his peers.
Occasionally, though, six pounds can also eat some meat, and there is a clear stream near the village, where six pounds can go fishing. Before fishing, Liujin would first go to the ground to dig up a few earthworms, put them into several plastic bottles as bait, and finally wear these plastic bottles with ropes and tie them to the grass by the creek, so as to catch the fish and prevent the bottles from being washed away by the river.
The next thing to do is to wait for these fish to be hooked, during this time, Yang Liujin usually bathes by the river, he uses the leaves as a bath ball, rubs it on the body, uses the washing powder as shampoo to rub on the head, and soon there will be white fine foam.
When the villagers saw this scene, they asked: "Six pounds, does it not hurt to rub the scalp with washing powder?" ”
Liu Jin replied while washing, "It doesn't hurt!" I'm used to washing my hair with detergent and I can wash it clean. ”
People's scalp and hair are very fragile, and when you rub clothes with washing powder, you will feel the burning sensation on your hands, let alone the scalp? Washing your hair with washing powder for a long time is likely to cause the scalp to rot, damage to the root of the hair, and no longer grow hair.
But for the poor six pounds, the amount of washing powder is cheap and large, and it is the best choice.
After washing his hair, Liu Jin would play in the water for a while, and he was like a carefree child, not worrying about any livelihood problems. Play almost, six pounds of fish can also be closed nets, almost every plastic bottle has a few small fish, six pounds to see very happy.
He quickly took all the small fish home, skillfully lit the stove, put oil in the pot, put the fish into the pot, with a "crackling" sound, the dried fish was fried, and then accompanied by a bowl of white rice, six pounds to eat very fragrant.
The reporter followed the footsteps of Liujin and after experiencing his life for a day, he asked: "Liujin, will you feel very tired when you go out every day to herd cattle, fish, and dig wild vegetables?" After all, you're still just a kid. ”
Liu Jin said, "What's so tiring about this!" I'm used to it. ”
The reporter asked, "What if you're sick?" No one will help you catch fish and dig wild vegetables, what are you going to do? ”
Liu Jin felt that this was not a problem, so he asked very easily, "Even if you are sick, you have to go!" If you don't go, you can only go hungry. ”
Liu Jin is only twelve years old, still need the care and love of his parents, but he has learned to live alone and grow alone in the tribulations of life. But Liu Jin never told others about his suffering, but his hands showed very realistically what was happening to him.
His hands were covered with calluses and scars, not at all like the hands of a child, and the reporter asked painfully: "Does this hand hurt?" ”
Liu Jin thought about it and replied, "It hurt a little when I was injured, but now it's all better." ”
Liujin's optimism and strength touched the reporter, and the reporter then asked: "Liujin, you have suffered so much, will you blame your mother?" Is there anything you want to say to her? ”
LiuJin's face, which was originally smiling, immediately changed, and he shook his head silently, and after a while he said, "I don't have anything to say, because I'm afraid my mother won't want me." ”
The reporter asked again: "Then do you want to see your mother?" ”
Liu Jin replied somewhat eagerly, "Of course I want to see you." ”
Looking for the mother of six pounds
In order to help Liujin complete his wish, the reporter inquired about his mother's residence, and after determining the address, he took Liujin to see his mother.
On that day, Liujin was very excited, deliberately wore a relatively new dress, and followed the reporter to his mother's home. Because the road was very muddy, the reporter's car fell into the mud several times, and Liujin rushed down to push the cart and put his clothes on the mud.
Liu Jin buckled the mud on his clothes and said to reporters: "Mom doesn't think I'm too dirty, right?" ”
The reporter comforted him and said: "Of course not, no matter which parent has a child like you, they will be happy, how can they dislike you?" ”
Liu Jin had a smile on his face and looked out the window, looking forward to hurrying to his mother's side. However, when he really saw his mother, Liujin seemed to be a little twisted, until his mother held out his hands, and Liujin rushed into his mother's arms and cried loudly.
Liujin's mother was even more sad, touching her son's head, constantly comforting him, Liujin cried while saying: "Mom, when you left, you only took your brother, left me behind, every time I think of you, when I am bullied, I am thinking why don't you take me away?" ”
After listening to her son's words, the mother felt very guilty and said, "I have seen you, but there is no one in your grandfather's house, and I thought you were taken away by someone else." ”
Although Liujin's mother was sorry, she couldn't keep him around, she just gave Liujin some money and said to him: "Take good care of yourself, your mother can't take you to live." ”
The reporter did not understand the practice of the mother of six pounds, so he asked: "Why can't you live with six pounds?" ”
Liu Jin's mother replied, "I thought I would never see my son in my life, but I didn't expect him to come here today, but there is no his field here, no house for him, and it is difficult for him to gain a foothold here." ”
After hearing his mother's words, Liu Jin felt very sad, but he was no longer a six- or seven-year-old child, and he understood his mother's situation, even if he didn't want to give up, he had to say goodbye to his mother and go home.
The mother wanted to send another six pounds, but six pounds said sensibly: "Mom, the road is not good, don't send it, hurry back!" ”
When the mother heard this, tears fell like rain, and she hugged Liujin and said, "My poor son! Liu Jin also hugged his mother, and the mother and son hugged each other and cried bitterly.
In this way, Liu Jin returned home alone.
Fortunately, not long after, the reporter reported on the matter of liujin, who was in adversity, but he could always maintain tenacity and optimism, and his beautiful spiritual quality attracted the attention of many caring people. They donated money and materials to Six Pounds, hoping that Six Pounds could live a better life.
As of June 25, 2014, Liujin has received more than 5 million donations of love, which will help him go to high school and college, so that he can have the same life as a normal child and no longer have to rely on eating wild vegetables to survive.
