A little boy, sitting in front of his mother.
He first skillfully used a leather band to tie his mother's arm, then gently slapped it with his small hand, and when he saw the blood vessels under the skin, he gently applied it with a cotton swab dipped in disinfectant.
From dispensing to puncture, he didn't need his mother's command.
Sophisticated in action and calm in expression, his name is Zhou Zongsong, and he is 9 years old this year.
The above set of actions, Zhou Zongsong since the age of 6, has been repeated every year.
When other children were 6 years old, they were still careful livers in the arms of their parents, but Zhou Zongsong became the pillar of the family.
In his life, even the TV series did not dare to act like this.
The cause of all this has to start with his parents...
Zhou Zongsong's mother, Zhang Facui, has been frail and sick since she was a child.
Once, on the way to see a doctor, Zhang Facui met a man who also went to see a doctor, and the two had pity for each other, and they walked together not long after they knew each other.
After marriage, the husband was very kind to Zhang Facui, although he suffered from heart disease, but the rough work at home was never willing to let Zhang Facui dry.
Later, they gave birth to their first son, and then the younger son, Zhou Zongsong, also came to their side.
Although the little life is very poor, the family is also harmonious and happy.
I thought that such a hard day would be farther and farther away from them, who knows, but fate made a big joke to this family.
In 2013, her husband had a heart attack and left without a word, leaving his 11-year-old eldest son, 1-year-old Zhou Zongsong, and the 110,000 debts owed by the doctor to Zhang Facui.
At that moment, Zhang Facui felt that his world was about to collapse.
Because, at this time, she was suffering from gout, heart disease, bronchitis, and deformed limbs.
In order to support her children, she tried to do some farm work when she was not sick, and when she was sick, she could only curl up on the bed and endure pain.
These days of suffering, they lived for more than a year.
In 2014, a man named Zhang Mingcai carried the family for them like an angel.
Zhang Mingcai is Zhang Facui's current husband, and he does not dislike Zhang Facui as a "medicine jar", nor does he feel that her two children are dragging oil bottles.
After coming to this home, Zhang Mingcai often took Zhang Facui around to see a doctor, and also took out her own savings to pay off the debts she had owed before.
This man is like a guiding light, illuminating the home and making them feel the warmth of a long absence.
Zhang Mingcai is really good, in order to earn a little more treatment fees, he hides from his family and does multiple jobs by himself.
But no one expected that one day, Zhang Mingcai suddenly fainted on the ground when he was at work, and after arriving at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed him as blind in his right eye and amblyopia in his left eye.
The roof leaked during the overnight rain, and the boat was small and hit the headwind.
At this time, Zhang Facui's feet were deformed and aggravated, causing her to be unable to walk on the ground and rely on a wheelchair, not only that, she also suffered from cataracts.
This shattered home was once again mercilessly battered by fate.
The hope of the whole family can only fall on the eldest son, who can only go to work in other places, earning 2500 yuan a month, and sending 2000 yuan to his home every month.
The older brother goes out to earn money, and the younger brother contributes at home.
Since the age of 6, the youngest son, Zhou Zongsong, has supported the family alone, taking care of both his mother and stepfather.
For them, at a young age, he became a real man.
When other children were 6 years old, they still slept in the same bed as their parents, but Zhou Zongsong had to get up at five o'clock every day.
When he got up, he boiled the water first, put the medicine and things that his mother was going to take that day on the bed, and then went to school.
After class at noon, Zhou Zongsong would quickly run home to buy vegetables and cook, and every day he would run back and forth twice, walking for an hour each time.
In addition to cooking for his parents, Zhou Zongsong also acts as a small nurse to help his mother complete the puncture.
Because they had no money, they had to finish the hanging bottle of water alone at home, and in his home, there were two medicine cabinets as tall as him, which were densely packed with various kinds of medicines.
Zhou Zongsong said: "This is my 'thousands of troops and horses', which is used to deal with the 'enemy' in my mother's body. ”
Every time, from dispensing to puncturing, he didn't need his mother's command.
He skillfully dispensed various hanging bottles of water from the cabinet according to the category, dosage and operation requirements.
Other children would cry when he got an injection at his age, and when he put a needle in his mother's hand, he would be afraid, he would be afraid that his mother would hurt.
Later, Zhou Zongsong's family moved to Mufu Community in Zhongping Street, Ze county, as a poor household.
In the new family's community, Zhou Zongsong often pushed his mother to go outside to bask in the sun, and sometimes, he also went to buy vegetables with his mother.
Each time, his mother picked out the dishes in the front, and he took out his wallet in the back and paid the money to the greengrocer.
His family's perennial meals are only three kinds: green vegetables, potatoes, and tofu, and Zhou Zongsong has never abandoned the poor food at home, and he eats a fine light every time.
When he saw other children outside having toys, Zhou Zongsong never said that he wanted them too.
He took good care of his mother and stepfather, did a good job of housework, and kept his grades in the top three of his class.
Only once did he score 60, and that time, it was his mother and stepfather who had surgery, and he was too stressed to fail the test.
Zhou Zongsong studied very hard, he hopes to become a doctor when he grows up, he said: "I want to help patients alleviate a little pain." ”
Zhang Facui sometimes blames herself, and she feels that she is dragging down the child.
Because he has to take care of his family, Zhou Zongsong rarely has his own spare time and does not have any hobbies.
But, Mr. Zhou said, none of that mattered.
Before, I saw a passage on the Internet: "Parents only start to love their children when they are twenty or thirty years old, and children begin to love their parents from the day they are born." ”
When I saw Zhou Zongsong's story, I felt that this passage was most appropriate for him.
Someone once said that I don't want to define this little man with "miserable", because such a child is really "amazing".
Home brought him a burden, but he brought hope to home.
Many times, Zhang Facui saw her son's efforts, and she hoped that she would fight a little and live for a few more years until the child became an adult.
The suffering in front of you is the test of life, and children like this who know gratitude from a young age will certainly make great achievements when they grow up, just like Zhang Facui said: it will get better and better.
