In the evening, accompanied by the slow "creak" of the chain, a worn-out tricycle appeared. At the entrance of the community, 4-year-old Xiao Hanhan poked his head out from behind his grandmother Grandma Chen (pseudonym). When he saw several strange adults, he suddenly became alert. After the car stopped, he took off his helmet and ran. At the door of the house on the second floor, I stared blankly at the stranger following behind him, a little dazed.
He is not yet 4 years old, and he vaguely knows from the adults that his father does not want him, his mother was taken away by the police uncle, and he only has his grandmother left ...
"I don't have a dad and I don't have a mom." When Xiao Hanhan suddenly said such a sentence, Grandma Chen could no longer hold back her tears. Today, the 72-year-old takes her grandson, who is in college, and Xiao Hanhan, who is less than 4 years old, to collect garbage and earn a pension.
"5 years is okay, 15 years..." Grandma Chen's trembling hand didn't know how to put it, and said in a low voice. She is not afraid of anything, no matter how hard life is, she can't stop, but the only thing she can't worry about is Hanhan, whose life has just begun.
The daughter committed a crime
Leaving two children without parents
Yongfeng Village, Xinfeng Town, Nanhu District, was a demolition and resettlement community in the early years, where Grandma Chen lived with her two children and her second husband in a simple house.
Old and sick, Grandma Chen really didn't have the energy to clean up. The gorgeous house is full of clutter: clothes from other people's homes, half-old toys picked up, household items in the corner of the dining table... There is only one left. A small passage for families to walk.
Most of these things are given or received by others. In addition to transporting her children to and from school every day, Grandma Chen also rides a tricycle to rummage through garbage cans near the local community, picking up garbage to supplement her family. "No, the two children still have to go to school, no matter how hard I work, I don't like them."
With tears in her eyes, she endured. She lost her father at an early age, and her first husband died in her 30s, leaving her and three young daughters. The granddaughter, a strong sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart. "The children have not yet caught up with the times, otherwise our family would not be like this."
The child mentioned by Grandma Chen is her third daughter, Xiao Hanhan's mother. Grandma Chen's third daughter had a marriage and had a daughter 15 years older than Xiao Hanhan. The third daughter later gave birth to Xiao Hanhan with Hanhan's father, but she did not accept the responsibility of a mother and embarked on the road of crime.
One day in February 2017, Grandma Chen received a phone call saying her daughter had committed a crime and told her to go to the public security bureau to bring her grandson back. "I was shocked, didn't she come to Suzhou with her children to do business? How is it possible to be caught committing a crime? The matter of the third daughter overwhelmed Grandma Chen. This old man is illiterate and only knows that his daughter has committed a crime, but after all, it is his own daughter, and there are two children to take care of. She must "save" her.
She spent all her savings and hired a lawyer. Eventually, her daughter was sentenced to 15 years in prison in Hangzhou.
"His father also committed a crime, he came out to see the child, stayed for two days and left, and now he can't be contacted." Since then, Xiao Hanhan has become a child without parents. Get on a tricycle and pick up trash with your grandmother. The 18-year-old grandson also grew up overnight and began to use his free time, winter and summer vacations to earn living expenses and reduce his grandmother's burden.
Live with children
Very bitter and sweet
Xiao Hanhan, who was born in August 2015, is not yet 4 years old and looks very cute. Once you're familiar with it, he'll share his toys.
Although the children are very playful, when he saw his grandmother crying for his parents, he quickly put down the toy, snuggled up next to his grandmother, and leaned on his grandmother to help him dry his tears.
After the accident of the third daughter, many people persuaded her to give the child to others, and even some people with better economic conditions in Jiaxing City also came to express their desire to adopt the child, but she repeatedly refused. "Such a good child, why are you willing to give up? His sister also told me to take good care of my brother. ”
Over the years, grandpa and grandson have had full understanding, care and support.
"When I went out to pick up garbage, he always followed me, picked up bottles and ran fast." Every night after dinner, grandparents and grandchildren set off on tricycles to pick up trash from home to town. Squares, garbage bins, barbecue shops, roadsides are all places of their attention.
And every time he went to the square, when Xiao Hanhan was most excited, he would run around, and when he saw children of the same age, he would run up to play with them, and he would get to know each other after a long time.
But when playing, Xiao Hanhan always pays attention to the situation around him. There are a lot of square dancers and wanderers in the square. If the bottle of mineral water in his hand is about to bottom, he will take the first look at it and pick it up. "If the child goes to school, he has to come back after 9 p.m., and if he doesn't go to school, it's 12 o'clock. Sometimes when he fell asleep, I went out to pick him up. ”
Garbage collection has become a source of household necessities. Grandma Chen pointed to the oil, paper towels and other daily necessities at home and said: "The policy is so good, you can earn points by picking up garbage, and I use the points to buy these, saving a lot of money." ”
Grandma Chen suffers from arthritis and her legs and feet are not good. When he picks up garbage, Xiao Hanhan "does" a lot for him. He is familiar with the barbecue places nearby. The owner and customers love this smart and cute little boy and often want to keep it for him. When he comes, he will give him a big bag. Give him a drink. When it came to the child, Grandma Chen had a smile on her face. In the past two years, despite the difficulties, the child's understanding has made her feel that life is still sweet. "My leg hurt when I walked up the stairs and he tried to help me. The boss is also very competitive and has won the first prize in the national competition! ”
Carrying the "weight of life"
Worry about the child's lack of love
Grandma Chen took good care of her two children, but for the 72-year-old, her body was too exhausting.
"5 years is fine, but 15 years, I will be 85 years old by then..." Whenever she thought of this, she always silently wiped her tears. Sometimes the child loses her temper, she will hit the child in a fit of anger, but when she turns around, she blames herself and feels sorry for the child. "Sometimes he says to me, 'I don't have a dad, I don't have a mom,' hey, a child without a mother is like grass, I have to be nice to him."
This time last year, Grandma Chen was hesitant to enroll her children when they entered kindergarten. After the village found out, they offered to pay half of their tuition so that Xiao Hanhan could successfully enroll.
But when I got to school, I had a new problem. The illiterate grandmother could not do her homework in kindergarten and had to give up every time.
"The village and the city miss us very much and helped us apply for a subsistence allowance household certificate, but I can't read, I can't read, and I can't teach him many things." Grandma worked hard even when she was in elementary school in order to adapt to the growth of her children. When Han Han speaks Mandarin, she tries to communicate with him in non-standard Mandarin to make the child adapt faster.
Xiao Hanhan on the side listened while playing, half understanding and half understanding. He has not experienced the love of his father and mother, and has precocious puberty unlike many children of his age.
Although his grandmother did her best to raise him, he grew up lacking something even more - the love of his parents, the love of his parents, and he must be lonely inside.
Fan Yiyan, secretary of the Youth League Committee of the Jiaxing branch of the Postal Savings Bank, who accompanied the reporter that day, told reporters that when the village staff first sent them to the door, the children had been talking, and their eyes were full of fear and resistance. "We will set up a volunteer team, continue to pay attention, use holidays and other time to accompany us with love, and restart Xiaohanhan's source of happiness."
After the interview, Grandma Chen came to visit us. After bearing the "heaviness of life" for most of her life, she still longs: "When he is old, we will definitely get better." ”
Reporter's note: The desire revealed in the bedside painting
In the film "What a Home", the parents of Zane, a 12-year-old Lebanese boy, are unable to raise and educate, but still continue to give birth. As the eldest son of the family, Zane carried the burden of countless lives at a young age. After witnessing his sister betrayed by her parents and even later tragically died, he was sad and angry and took her parents to court on the grounds that "they gave birth to us, but they only cared about having children". For 120 minutes, viewers witnessed little Zane, like a small animal fighting alone in the jungle, tenaciously not bowing to fate.
On Xiao Hanhan's body, I saw the shadow of little Zane. Although he didn't know much now, he already had a little awareness. The phrase "I don't have a mother, I don't have a father" is sad and poignant.
It was a carefree age, but he experienced the hardships of life very early. Even the strongest children need "shelter" to grow up, eager to stand on tiptoe and touch the stars.
During the interview, Grandma Chen was very grateful for the help of the government and the kind deeds of well-wishers. But we are more concerned about Xiao Hanhan's growth.
On the wall of Hanhan's sister's bed, the reporter saw a sticker with the words "Sweet Home". This is the wish of this 20-year-old girl, and it must also be the biggest wish of 4-year-old Xiao Hanhan!
