"The more children are born, the greater the blessings, and in the old saying, there are many children and many blessings." He Hong's consistent thoughts may not have realized his mistake in the end.
He Hong, a 27-year-old bachelor from Suining City, Sichuan Province, whose reputation in the village has been bad, came to Shanghai to work, but it didn't take long for him to meet 26-year-old Zhang Xingzi.
Less than half a year after knowing each other, He Hong married Zhang Xingzi back home, but the people in the village were very surprised, how could someone like He Hong find a daughter-in-law? What exactly is he Hong's "superiority"?
In the words of the people in the village: "He Hongren is not very good-looking, his family is poor, he has not yet developed a skill, he does not even have a way to support himself, how can anyone be willing to follow him?" I see that this Zhang Xingzi was either deceived by He Hong, or there were some problems with his spirit. ”
In fact, the villagers' statements are only half right, Zhang Xingzi does have some mental problems, there may be indirect mental disorders, but she is not deceived by He Hong, at this time Zhang Xingzi really just wants to live with He Hong in a down-to-earth manner.
But Zhang Xingzi couldn't have imagined that her miserable life was about to begin.
Short and poor, there are no rules for doing things, and there will be revenge, which has become synonymous with He Hong in the mouths of the villagers, and He Hong is indeed in addition to his own daily work to earn some money, but in the end there is still no stable job.
And Zhang Xingzi imagined He Hong too well, she thought she could live a peaceful life with He Hong, she did not ask He Hong to bring herself a rich life, she just wanted to live a good life.
But she never imagined that this marriage would become He Hong's "tool", a tool without emotion.
Zhang Xingzi did not think that she was willing to suffer with He Hong, but in exchange for a "miserable life".
The two people got married without a wedding, without inviting someone to eat, not even a marriage license, that is, two people ate a bowl of noodles at home and privately decided at home for life.
But Zhang Xingzi thought he Hong too well, in fact, He Hong did not need a person who lived a stable life at all, all he wanted was a "tool" to give birth to a child. He Hong married Zhang Xingzi in 1995.
In 1996, Zhang Xingzi began her painful and long road to birth. Children were born one after another, and the burden was increased little by little, and Zhang Xingzi did not understand why she did this.
Since Zhang Xingzi gave birth to her first child in 1996, but He Hong wanted his wife to have another one for himself, Zhang Xingzi thought to herself: "Anyway, now only one child will have another child, so it will be a little lively." ”
But gradually Zhang Xingzi learned about her husband's perverted psychology, "As long as the body is no problem, she will always be born?" "How could He Hong have such a thought?" What exactly does he want to do?
"Originally in the countryside, there are more people working, so that there is no need to find someone to spend money on work, and you can also help others work to make money, so that there is more and more money!" This is He Hong's thought.
At that time, the number of children who had been born was controlled, and when He Hong had his third child, the village cadres could not sit still, and they wanted to persuade He Hong not to give birth so debauchedly.
So they all went to He Hong to persuade him not to have so many children, but He Hong still insisted on his idea of having more children and more blessings, no matter how many times the cadres came, He Hong still insisted on his own thinking, and the more children were born, the better his life would be.
When the cadres came to him for the third time, He Hong began to run away with Zhang Xingzi, and the cadres were also afraid that Zhang Xingzi would make some mistakes during her pregnancy, and they did not dare to chase after him.
Come once, run once, the cadres really can't manage He Hong, so He Hong finally realized his idea, more and more children, He Hong and Zhang Xingzi are not highly educated, one only knows part-time work, one can only do farm work.
In their eyes, labor is the source of money, but Zhang Xingzi, who initially thought that this idea was fine, found that this approach was not correct after giving birth to 11 children.
Because his family was too embarrassed, even the delivery of the children in the back was done by the husband himself, but He Hong was actually inexperienced himself, which could not help but push Zhang Xingzi into the abyss again and again.
He Hong heard from the midwife in the village how to deliver a child, so he took matters into his own hands, and several times the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck, and it was good to untie it in time, otherwise the child would really have just been born and returned to the west.
But fortunately, Zhang Xingzi is very healthy and has a good physique, even if her husband has no experience, there are no dangers.
But even if the strongest child has to have time to recover from confinement, but for Zhang Xingzi, she does not have any rest time, even if she has just given birth to a child, the next day she still has to feed the pigs to do farm work.
Can Zhang Xingzi accept such a high-intensity work? Will there be any problems with her body?
Children have to be born every year, work is done every day, pigs have to be fed every day, and the land is ploughed every day. Such a life has made Zhang Xingzi gradually unable to support it. But for the sake of her own child who had already been born, she still suffered silently.
In an interview with Zhang Xingzi, she said, I would rather do a bunch of work every day, I really don't want to have more children.
Her life is very painful now, she recalls once, at three o'clock in the morning Zhang Xingzi began to give birth, He Hong helped deliver the baby and fell asleep, but she still had to get up at six o'clock to cook.
One night, I had a baby at three o'clock and got up at six o'clock to cook. Zhang Xingzi gradually became numb to such a life.
He Hong's way of only having children and not raising them has made the family a mess, and now that he has 11 children, the family has become like a waste station, and because he still has pigs at home, the house is even more disgusting to the point of suffocation.
Zhang Xingzi recalled that when there was only one child, although there was still no money in the family, Zhang Xingzi could still clean the whole house, although there was a pigsty behind the house, but there was no taste.
But now everything has changed, the family is poor, even the children's clothes are donated by well-wishers, and his own body should be in the middle of pregnancy for many years, and he really has no experience of caring for the family.
In this way, the environment in the home has not been cleaned for a long time, and the pigsty behind the house, Zhang Xingzi's daily energy can only feed the pigs, and there is no strength to clean the pigsty, and flies are flying all over the sky.
The children lacked education from an early age, and He Hong and his wife, who only knew how to make money, naturally did not have time to educate their children, and the children who were born late did not even go to primary school, and even more children who were born early were infinitely ridiculed when they went to school.
All kinds of clothes scattered in the house were donated by well-wishers everywhere, and the children picked up a piece of clothing at random after getting up and put it on their bodies to wear for a day.
Zhang Xingzi did not want to take care of it, but there was no way to take care of it at all. Even after the next day of cleaning up, the dirty clothes were still flying all over the sky.
It was cold in winter, so they spread the clothes donated by others on the bed, and there was no bed in the house that could accommodate 11 children, so they found a few stools and laid boards on them, which was the children's habitat.
In addition to the cold in winter, it is better, when it is cold, the clothes are covered on the body, and once it is summer, the home becomes a gathering place for cockroaches, and rats have become accustomed to crawling on the body.
He Hong's income of less than 3,000 yuan a month has to support a family of 13, several children have to eat 14 kilograms of rice a day, and his wife is too busy, basically giving the children a pickle is already exhausted.
So the leaves in the children's porridge are their day's greens.
Growing up in such a family environment, children understand a truth from an early age, eat fast, have to rush to eat, eat slowly, and children who eat late will definitely be hungry.
But I never expected my brothers to be so "cruel" in order to eat a few more bites of food.
Due to the large population of the family, chopsticks are basically not enough, the slightly older children will take off the branches and cut them as chopsticks, while the younger siblings have no eating tools because they can't reach the branches.
In order to eat more, the brothers do not help the younger siblings to make a pair of chopsticks, resulting in the children can only grasp and eat with their hands, but the rice that has just been made, so who can stand up to the hot?
The truth of not being humble to eat enough has been engraved in the hearts of children, and the seeds of selfishness have taken root and sprouted, perhaps uneducated, perhaps eager to be educated.
The eldest daughter recalled that her happiest days were those years of school, although the students in the class hated themselves because they had a great smell every time.
But she said that in fact, everyone in the village hated them, and no one wanted to have a table with them when eating the feast in the temple, and no one wanted to help them.
But what he didn't know was that in order to help them, the town raised 110,000 yuan to build a 160-square-meter house for them, and gave them a subsidy of 2,000 yuan per month.
Helping the three and four to find schools that are willing to take them in, helping them buy electricity, all of this is to help them and love them, but the children who grow up in such an environment feel that this is the right thing to do.
The annual feast in the temple is paid for, but the host sees that they are really pitiful and has waived all the expenses.
And they set up a table alone, and in the end, they were scolded by several children.
Their little black cat died, and the children found the villagers who had given them something and asked them to send them a little black cat that was exactly the same.
It seems that the help of villagers and well-wishers has become a mandatory requirement in the eyes of these children, and no matter how much help is still not met.
However, the relevant departments still arranged for children to study in various places, and they firmly believed that reading could change children's minds, and one day, children would understand their good intentions.
He Hong has already proved the mistake of his thinking with the youth of 11 children, and he hopes that no one with such thoughts as He Hong will come out again.
