Husbands work in state-owned enterprises, rich salaries, stable incomes, a son and a daughter in the family are disease-free, the wife takes care of two children, raises chickens and ducks, grows some grain and vegetable subsidies to borrow, in the 70s of the last century, such a family, can be described as a happy home.
Yin Zhiming, a woman in Yuetang District, Xiangtan, Hunan, once had such a home that everyone envied.
In 1971, at the age of 26, she was introduced to the veteran Deng Dachu, who was tall and handsome, plus had been a soldier, a lifetime of righteousness, and the first time they met, they left an excellent impression on her, in her own words, it was very sunny and reliable.
And the gentle temperament, beautiful and generous Yin Zhiming, also gave Deng Dachu a bright feeling, although they met each other, but the two quickly fell in love, and soon after falling in love, they naturally entered the marriage hall.
After marriage, Deng Dachu entered Xianggang under the arrangement of the state, while Yin Zhiming stayed in the countryside, serving his in-laws, handling household chores, and subsidizing the family by the way.
Although the husband and wife are separated from each other and can only see each other every half a month, Xiao Beisheng is newly married, and the feelings are excellent, especially after giving birth to a son and a daughter in succession, Yin Zhiming is more satisfied, feeling that he is the happiest woman in the world, and only looks forward to such a peaceful and beautiful day, and can live forever.
However, the weather is unpredictable, in 1977, in the 6th year of the marriage of the two, husband Deng Dachu had an accident, in a work, the furnace more than 1,000 degrees of high-pressure water tank burst, the explosive residue hurt Deng Dachu's eyes, Deng Dachu's eyes were seriously damaged.
Hearing the news of her husband's injury, Yin Zhiming did not say a word, left xiangtan hometown, dragged her daughter into the city, and then, she took her husband to Changsha, Beijing, Guangzhou and other places, running between major hospitals, just to cure her husband's eyes, but unfortunately the day did not go according to people's wishes, and finally Deng Dachu was blind.
When her husband was blind, Yin Zhiming was only 32 years old, and their children, one 5 years old and one 3 years old, how much pressure she had, you can imagine, what makes the family even worse is that her husband has no job, the family's financial resources have been cut off, and food and clothing have become a problem.
The huge blow made Yin Zhiming panic for a while, she didn't know how to live the next few days, but one thing she was sure of was that she must find a way to support the family and take care of her husband and two children.
In order to survive and take care of his family, Yin Zhiming found a foam box and began selling popsicles on the street.
Although popsicles at that time were rare and popular, people at that time were poor, and Yin Zhiming did not dare to go far, just walk around the home, how much money can be sold a day? During the day, she pretended to be strong in front of people and forced a smile, but at night, I don't know how many times a person secretly wiped her tears.
Fortunately, in the invincible road, Deng Dachu's Xianggang took into account the difficulties of their family, and promptly reached out to help and arranged for Yin Zhiming to enter a subordinate unit, which solved the survival problem of their family.
After the problem of eating was solved, Yin Zhiming was relieved, in addition to going to work, his mind was almost all spent on taking care of his blind husband and a pair of children, although life was still difficult, but the good villain could still survive.
Soon, in 1993, Yin Zhiming, who was only 48 years old, retired, although she had a pension, but it was pitiful, and she once again began to worry about her livelihood.
At that time, her children were 21 years old and 19 years old, and it was time to spend money, in order to support the family and make her husband better off, she began to work odd jobs to make money, and in 2001, she began to do cleaning work, and after 2008, because she was a little older and it was difficult to find a job, she began to walk the streets and alleys to pick up waste.
A simple cart, an iron fork, a pair of gloves, is Yin Zhiming's tools, every day before dawn to go out, dark to go home, a day can also sell a few dozen yuan, just rely on these bits and pieces of income, she confessed a pair of children.
In 2012, Yin Zhiming sold her house on the fourth floor and gritted her teeth to buy a house on the first floor of her neighbor, because her husband's physical coordination ability also declined badly after he was older, and it was very inconvenient to go up and down the stairs, and he often walked and wrestled.
It is also because of the change of house, Yin Zhiming, who is 67 years old, has been saddled with tens of thousands of yuan in debt.
Although Yin Zhiming's children are very filial and willing to take money to subsidize their parents, she is not willing to trouble her children, get up early and greedily pick up garbage, plus the pension of the two, and in a few years, she also paid off this debt.
Many things are easy to say, but after really experiencing it, I know the pain, for decades, Yin Zhiming has hardly bought new clothes for herself, most of what she wears, most of them are sent by others, the same, I have not enjoyed the leisure that other women should have.
Although she is so harsh on herself, she is very generous to her husband who is blind and blind, all kinds of vegetables, all kinds of fruits, all kinds of nutritional products, as long as it is good for the body, she will not hesitate to pay for it.
For his wife's efforts, Yin Zhiming could not see it, but his heart was clear, and he couldn't help but choke up when he mentioned that his wife had saved money for him and his two children over the years, and didn't even have a decent piece of clothing.
But for what he did, Yin Zhiming took it for granted, at the beginning of Deng Dachu's blindness, it was not that no one advised her to divorce and "get rid of the sea of suffering" as soon as possible, for these people, Yin Zhiming did not even bother to take care of it, because they did not understand what is called love!
She said: "He is a good person, it is very pitiful to have no eyes, I feel very happy to be able to accompany him for a lifetime, to be his eyes for a lifetime!" ”
Even after paying so much, Yin Zhiming still felt that she owed her husband and her children, because in those years, she was only busy with how to earn money to support her family, and she had no time or energy to spend time and energy to spend well with her family.
There is such a virtuous wife, Deng Dachu and Yin Zhiming are of course the local model couple, they are also the role models of many young couples, and therefore, in 2016, she was on the "China Good People List" and became a good person who respects the elderly and loves her relatives.
Now, Yin Zhiming has paid off all his debts, and the pension of two people is enough for them to spend a good old age without worry.
Every day, she would make meals for her husband on time, and then carefully prepare meals for him, and after the meal, she would accompany him out for a walk.
Deng Dachu, who was walking on the road, habitually put a hand on his wife's shoulder and used his wife as a "crutch", which has been the case for decades, and he is tall and tall, and unconsciously presses his wife's shoulder into a slanted shoulder...
Today, Yin Zhiming and Deng Dachu have been married for 51 years, and Yin Zhiming has also taken care of her blind husband for 45 years.
To meet a virtuous wife like Yin Zhiming, I have to say that Deng Dachu is really lucky, and sincerely hopes that the two old people will be disease-free and can enjoy a few years of leisure time.
