A group photo of the family
According to research, the main force of the birth of two and three children is still after 70 and 80, and the fertility rate after 90 has been relatively low.
But a post-90s couple in Baobaoan Township, Hechi City, Guangxi Province, has given birth to their tenth child. Hearing this number, people almost think that they are back in the early days of the founding of the Country.
The general birth of 10 children does not occur until the early days of the founding of the Country. At that time, the state called for more children, and there was no means of birth control to have so many children
How could this post-90s couple have 10 children? Could it be that the family conditions are very superior? Fully affordable for your child's living expenses? But the truth is diametrically opposed.

Have ten children
The couple never imagined that they would make headlines in the media because they had so many children, because they thought it was a normal thing.
In Xiao Wei's consciousness, he has always felt that more children are better, which means that there are more children and more blessings, so he feels that there is no problem in having ten children.
When Xiao Wei was in the fourth grade, his father died, and his mother was just a peasant woman, and she had not even traveled far, and the burden of the family fell on Xiao Wei.
Mother and son can only rely on the meager income from farming to solve the problem of food and clothing. Such a family environment, coupled with Xiao Wei's academic performance is not very good, so he dropped out of school early.
Most of them are still in school under the protection of their parents at the age of 16, but Xiao Wei, who is only 16 years old, went to Guangdong to work together under the organization of friends in the same village.
Interview footage
Xiao Wei, who came to the big city, because he had no education and was young, he could only do some odd jobs in factories or construction sites, and his income could only be enough to fill his stomach.
Heaven is fair, although it gave Xiao Wei a miserable life, but it gave him incomparably sincere love.
At a party, he met his fellow countryman Xiaomeng, who was a year older than him. Xiao Meng's mother died when he was very young, and xiao Wei can be described as the same disease.
The two fell in love at first sight. Xiao Meng did not dislike Xiao Wei's poor family situation at all, and married Xiao Wei who had achieved nothing without hesitation.
Husband Xiao Wei
But when the two of them got married, they were still too young to get a marriage license. But that didn't stop the two from wanting to get married.
Even if they could not get a marriage license, the two still held a wedding in Xiao Wei's rural hometown and feasted on the relatives and friends of both sides.
In many remote rural areas, it seems that it is not very important to have a marriage license, as long as it is approved by the parents of both parties, it is considered a formal couple.
After marriage, the two children were also very affectionate, and it was not long before their first child was born. As parents for the first time, the couple is very happy.
Wife Xiao Meng
Not long after the birth of the first child, the wife became pregnant with the second child, the third child, the fourth child, and so on.
Because there are too many children, his wife Xiaomeng can only stay at home to raise children, while Xiaowei continues to work in Guangdong to support his wife and children.
By the time reporters discovered the couple in 2020, they had already had nine children and a tenth was about to be born.
When the reporter asked her husband, Xiaowei, why he had so many children, the reason was also jaw-dropping.
Xiao Wei said very calmly:
"I don't know how to use birth control and I don't use condoms very well. And I heard that if you go to get a ligature, it is not good for your body. My wife also did not let me go to the sterilization, for fear that it would affect my work, and now our family of ten depends on me to work to support. ”
Hearing such a reason makes one suspect that the husband has traveled back from ancient times. A modern society's post-90s generation does not know how to contraception, I am afraid that few people will believe it.
Although at the end of the interview, husband Xiaowei said that the child in his belly will be their last child, and when this child is born, he will be ligatured.
This year, their tenth child is already able to walk, and they really haven't continued to have children, they should really think that ten children are enough.
Without contraception, the wife can only have children all the time. As you can see from the interview video, the wife doesn't look like a woman in her early 30s at all.
Little Mon and the kids
Multiple births, postpartum care is not in place, so that the wife Xiaomeng looks unusually gaunt and aging, looking like the elders of the same age.
Of the 9 children they gave birth to, four of them were born at home, delivered by Xiao Wei's mother.
The local village doctors all suggested that Xiao Meng go to the regular maternity hospital to give birth, but they did not take it seriously at that time, after all, they had already given birth to several children, and there was no physical problem.
It is said that a woman having a child is equivalent to entering a ghost door. Even if modern medicine is so advanced, you will still see mothers who die because of the birth of children.
I have to say that the life of his wife Xiaomeng is really big, and he can get out of danger safely without going to the hospital when he gives birth to a child, which is equivalent to walking through the ghost door nine times.
Xiao Wei's deceased mother
In the early years, the state was still implementing the family planning policy, and the young couple did not dare to go to the obstetric examination because of the problem of overbirth. Fortunately, none of the children had health problems.
Later, because I did not go to the hospital to give birth to a child, it was not easy to get a household registration. They had to go to the local hospital for delivery, the production environment was much better, and Xiao Meng's life was also guaranteed.
By 2016, the country officially opened up the second child, and they had children more carelessly. Before, I was afraid that I would be fined, but now not only will I not be fined, but I will also give help.
In 2019, Xiao Wei's mother died of illness, and the children in the family could only be raised by Xiao Meng alone, and it is conceivable how tired Xiao Meng was.
The current situation of the child
Relative to why they have so many children, in fact, what is more important is whether the children's lives and education can be guaranteed.
Living environment
In the interview, the husband XiaoWei was full of confidence, saying that his salary was enough to support his wife and ten children.
Seeing that Xiao Wei is so confident, it seems that he can make a lot of money a month, but on second thought, Xiao Wei has no culture, can only do physical work, and how much money can be earned.
According to the current cost of raising one child, the cost of ten children is at least tens of thousands of dollars per month.
And her husband, Xiao Wei, can only earn five or six thousand a month, calculating a daily salary of 200. Such a salary, even if he is full of confidence, it is obvious that it does not provide a good life and education for the child.
But if you think about it, they live in the mountains, and there is really no additional living expense except for three meals a day.
Little Wei at work
But what about other than that? Is it enough to have a child and feed him? In today's society, it is obviously not enough for children to eat enough.
The living environment of the children shown in the interview video can't help but be distressing.
In 2020, the family still lived in a wooden house, leaking wind everywhere, and young children crawling on the dirty ground.
The plank room looked as if it was about to collapse at any moment. A slightly larger storm can uproot this so-called home.
There are poverty alleviation houses in the local area that can be lived in, but this cannot be free to live in. You need to pay 10,000 yuan to move into a new house.
Kids at home
Most people know that this is already the care of poor households, and ten thousand bricks and tiles are not enough money.
But the couple still couldn't come up with the ten thousand yuan, so they could only continue to live in the crumbling and leaky wooden house.
Looking at the children in the dilapidated wooden house, the older ones were playing with mud, and the younger ones were crawling on the ground, not even wearing shoes, all mud.
The children's faces were dirty and their clothes were worn. Don't say a good living environment, even the most basic clean hygiene can not do.
In the care of the child's little Monty
A mother who takes care of all the children can imagine that she does not have so much energy to take care of each one, and can only let them play on the ground by themselves.
Of the nine children who have been born, the eldest is 12 years old, and the youngest is still in his arms. Six of them are of school age.
Fortunately, the six children who are in school are basically in primary school and kindergarten. They are all in the nine-year compulsory education stage of the country, and the cost is not large.
There are also three children who do not go to school, all of whom are raised at home by their wife Xiaomeng. Therefore, her husband Xiaowei firmly believes that his daily salary of 200 can support the whole family.
Little Wei
But as the child grows up, he has to go to junior high school, high school, and college. The expenses of ten children cannot be afforded by Xiao Wei's daily salary of 200.
Xiao Wei's eldest daughter has a good academic performance, and will take the top few in the class every time, Xiao Wei is very happy, saying that as long as the children are willing to learn, he will definitely support.
When Xiao Wei worked in a big city, he was deeply aware of the importance of culture. He hopes that the children can become white-collar workers in and out of the office building, rather than having to work on the construction site like him.
Husband Xiao Wei did not have a lot of pressure on this money, and said very calmly:
"I can slowly earn money for them to study in the future, it is really not enough to borrow ah, as long as they study well, I will definitely find a way to let them continue to go to school." 」
I have to say that Xiao Wei looked very open and did not think too much. If he thinks more about the economy and has a longer term, he will not have the 10th child.
Although Xiao Wei is very blind and confident, the child's living conditions really make the majority of netizens feel sad.
Many enthusiastic netizens offered to help their families and provide superior living conditions for their children. Some netizens even said that they could raise one of the children.
But these helpes were rejected by her husband, Xiao Wei. It's like not understanding why he has so many children, and can't understand why he refuses help from well-wishers.
It turned out that Xiao Wei's current parents were not his biological parents. His biological parents had five children, and because there were too many children and poor economic conditions, they gave Xiaowei to his adoptive parents.
Xiao Wei knew from an early age that he was adopted, and his adoptive father died when he was eleven years old. The lack of paternal love from childhood made him feel that paternal love was very important.
Although his adoptive parents are very good to Xiao Wei, in Xiao Wei's heart, he still longs for the love of his biological parents, and he cannot understand why his parents chose to abandon themselves.
When he was young, he learned that he had been sent away by his biological parents, which was very harmful to Xiao Wei's young heart.
So no matter how difficult it is, he will never give away the child. He himself knew the pain well and would never let his children experience it again.
No matter what kind of rich and noble family the other party is, he will not give away the child. He firmly believed that he could support these children on his own.
Couples take a picture with their children
At this point, I still admire Xiao Wei, who can do it without abandoning any child. Responsibility and responsibility can still be seen in him.
Due to the explosion of this video, it also attracted the attention of the local government. The local government specially arranged relevant personnel to conduct door-to-door visits.
The arrival of the husband and wife of two government personnel is very surprising, and they can get the help of the state, which will greatly improve their lives.
Relevant government personnel conducted a field inspection of their homes and reported the situation to their superiors, and many parties confirmed that they indeed belonged to poor households.
The wife is pregnant again
The state's policy is still very favorable to their family, giving each of them a monthly subsidy of 350. Their family of twelve can receive nearly 4,000 yuan in subsidies every month.
Xiao Wei will also go to work every month, although it is only 200 per day, but with the subsidies given by the government, the daily life can still be guaranteed.
The majority of enthusiastic netizens are also very concerned about the lives of their children. Through online channels, they have donated money and materials to them many times.
Seeing the children put on new clothes and eat clean food, the worries of netizens have also been slightly alleviated.
Eat in the new house
In 2021, the family finally left the wooden house where they had lived for more than ten years and moved to the government-built poverty alleviation house.
The new house is a newly built tile house, and the family no longer worries about the wind and rain, the house will leak rain, and they can sleep soundly every day.
The family ate in the new house, and the children were obviously dressed much better than last year, and they were also very clean.
The local government not only gives money subsidies and builds houses, but also teaches them how to make money on their own.
The local cooperative also taught them to raise 3 cows and 5 sheep. Each year can have a dividend of nearly 4,000 yuan.
When the couple was interviewed again, the eyes of the two people were not as dazed as before, but full of hope for life.
Couple with children
Web Review
Regardless of whether netizens are supportive or critical of the couple's approach, children are innocent and they should have a happy childhood.
Actually in remote mountainous areas. It is also common for a family to have many children. Maybe not ten of them are so exaggerated, but there are also several children.
But in big cities, it's the complete opposite. The more economically developed the place, the lower the fertility rate.
The main reason for this situation is the problem of thinking, most people in the mountains will only feel more blessed, while people in big cities are more concerned about quality.
Nowadays, the cost of raising a child is too high, and to bring a child into the world is to be responsible for him, not just three meals a day.
