This is an ordinary family on the shore of Luoma Lake in Xinyi Xindian Town, Xuzhou. This ordinary family has special family members, such as Grandpa Cai Hongyun, Grandma Wang Qingping, and 6 grandchildren who are not related by blood. These are left-behind children in the village, some parents divorced, some grandparents have passed away, and single parents have to go out to work for a long time in order to make a living.
At about 12:00 noon, the family's courtyard was lively again, the children were out of school one after another, Wang Qingping had already prepared a hot lunch, and after eating lunch in a lively way, the children returned to school, but Cai Hongyun and his wife still could not idle, cleaned up the bed, laundry, and bought vegetables... They all need to do it themselves.
The time at night is slightly longer, after the children have finished school, Cai Hongyun also has to check and tutor the children's homework, after falling asleep at night, the old two do not dare to relax, every night to get up to cover them with a quilt, often tired at the end of the day with back pain.
This is the day of Cai Hongyun and his wife, ordinary and busy. Day after day, year after year, they've been doing this for 19 years.

A fishing boat, a school
Cai Hongyun, 69, was a former teacher at Luomahu Water Primary School in Xinyi City' Xindian Town. Founded in 1983, this elementary school is a special primary school because it is built on the water and a fishing boat is a primary school. Since then, Cai Hongyun has been teaching in this water primary school, cold and summer, year after year, hand-cranked wooden boat is his best means of transportation, he supports more than an hour a day on the boat on time, this teaching is 20 years.
He has been coaching on the water for 20 years, and the years have carved wrinkles on Cai Hongyun's face. While spending time with his children, he also has a deep relationship with the fishermen.
In 2003, due to safety concerns, the Luomahu Water Primary School was merged into Xindian Town Primary School, and for health reasons, Cai Hongyun was assigned to manage the school's student dormitories and be responsible for the living of fishermen's children. As the income of fishermen increased and the living standard improved, many people bought houses in the town streets, the number of boarding students slowly decreased, and the students went to school from boarding mode to day mode.
But for children whose parents have been on fishing boats or gone out to work for a long time, life and learning have become big problems. It was this opportunity that Cai Hongyun and his wife's family came to the first child with a different surname, Wang Cui.
Nineteen years, fifty-eight left-behind children
In 1990, 5-year-old Wang Cui came to Cai Hongyun's house and became the family's first child with a different surname. At that time, Wang Cui's family was catching fish in Luoma Lake, and no one took care of her, so the family found Cai Hongyun and his wife.
"Can I bring it?" Cai Hongyun and his wife did not hesitate, they also have 3 children to take care of. However, in the face of Wang Cui's family's request, they still softened their hearts, so Wang Cui stayed at the home of Cai Hongyun and his wife. From coming here at the age of 5 to leaving at the age of 13, Wang Cui grew up with the children of Cai Hongyun and his wife, never felt like sending people under the fence, cai Hongyun and his wife gave her a warm home.
Later, Wang Cui was admitted to Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and she was also the first college student to come out of this big family. Today, Wang Cui is a mother of two children. Now as long as she has time, she will come with her mother to see Cai Hongyun and his wife, and whenever she talks about Cai Hongyun and his wife, Wang Cui and her mother will always be particularly grateful.
Since 2003, the children in Cai Hongyun's family have ranged from three or five to eight or nine, and in the past 19 years, the couple has taken care of 58 children.
Today, Mr. and Mrs. Cai Hongyun still have 6 children, 4 boys, and 2 girls. The youngest is in the fourth grade, and the oldest is in the second year of junior high school.
Five college students, one wish
"Does it feel hard?"
"It's all normal and it's gratifying."
"Why are these children being taken in?"
"The kids were very miserable"
Because Cai Hongyun and his wife took good care of their children, more and more parents found Cai Hongyun and his wife.
One day in August of one year, a single father came to Cai Hongyun's house. The weather in August was very hot, Cai Hongyun invited him into the house, he said that he had a 3-year-old child, with the child can not go out to work, without financial resources can not take care of the child, asked Cai Hongyun and his wife to take in. As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to his knees with a loud thud, and Cai Hongyun and his wife could not bear it, so they left the child behind. This child is now the youngest child, Shen Junze.
Shen Junze has been in poor health since childhood, often sick, and as soon as the weather changes, he is prone to fever and cold. One night in the winter, Wang Qingping found that the child had a fever, a body temperature of nearly 40 degrees, Cai Hongyun immediately got up, put on a coat, carried the child for nearly 2 miles to the health room, in the cold winter month, Cai Hongyun's clothes were soaked. After a few days of care, seeing the smiling face of the child after recovering from the disease, the couple felt that it was worth it to be tired.
"We're a little nicer to them, and they're a little happier."
For children who eat and live at home, the old couple never take the initiative to ask their parents for living expenses, because they know that these families have their own difficulties.
Cai Hongyun's monthly retirement salary of more than 2,000 yuan is the most important source of income for this big family. Sometimes, some parents of children will also send some living expenses, but it is still far from enough for this large family to spend.
In order to supplement the children's nutrition, the old couple raise chickens in their backyard, grow vegetables and fruits, and mix meat and vegetables every day to give the best to the children. Despite their limited conditions, Mr. and Mrs. Cai Hongyun did their best to give the children the best care and let them feel the warmth of home.
Parents are the best teachers for children, influenced by their parents, Cai Hongyun's three children have also joined the ranks, every time they visit their parents, they will bring snacks, books, etc., and accompany the children to do homework and play games.
Under the careful care of the old couple, the children are very sensible and self-motivated, and their academic performance continues to improve. Of the 58 children who have been cared for by Cai Hongyun and Wang Qingping, the eldest 5 children have been admitted to college, and 2 children have gone to work after graduating from college. Every holiday, the children will return to the new store to visit Cai Hongyun and his wife, which makes the old couple feel warm.
In the past 19 years, Cai Hongyun and his wife have become accustomed to the joy and laughter of having children, and they said that their greatest wish is to hope that their children will grow up healthy and happy and become talents useful to society.
Cai Hongyun and his wife are a lamp that illuminates rural civilization, perhaps faintly, but with the amazing power of spring wind and rain. And to turn on this lamp, thousands of Cai Hongyun and Wang Qingping are needed.
"When is it going to be done?"
"Until I can't move"
A symphony of pots and pans
Achieve the ordinary life of a family
I believe in the good deeds of Cai Hongyun and his wife
It will be as silent as spring rain
Influencing generations of young people
