Preface
The post-90s generation is a mystery, some have just gotten married, some have children in junior high school, and some have just entered kindergarten.
And the post-90s couple who live in the mountains today are beyond everyone's imagination.
In 12 years, the post-90s wife gave birth to 10 children one after another.
The eldest is already in secondary school, while the youngest is just walking.
Although the wife was only in her 30s, her old face made people think that she was far more than 40 years old.
So, why are the couples obsessed with having children, and what do they rely on to feed them?
A little life of your own
In 2020, a photographer went to the mountains of Baoan Township, Du'an County, Guangxi Province to shoot.
While lingering on the beautiful scenery in the deep mountains, he met this post-90s couple by chance.
At this time, Wei Guo was 29 years old, and his wife Meng Xiuping was just 30 years old, with a big belly.
She was pregnant with the couple's 10th child.
Yes, they have raised 9 children by this time.
Wei Guo worked alone in the fields with many children, which immediately attracted the attention of photographers.
With questions and curiosity, the photographer took the initiative to talk to Wei Guoze and took photos for them.
However, Wei Guoze and his wife never thought that they would become "Internet celebrities".
Of course, for ordinary people, giving birth to 10 children in 12 years is indeed too impactful.
There has been a lot of speculation about why they are so obsessed with having children.
Some people think that their thinking is too backward and that they must be patriarchal families.
And some netizens directly ridiculed: Many sons and many blessings, heavenly soldiers and generals.
In fact, the reason why Wei Guoze and his wife gave birth to many children is beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
Wei Guo was abandoned by his biological parents since he was a child, and he was raised by adoption.
His parents were very kind to him until he was 8 years old and did not know about the fact of adoption.
Despite this, he has always had a good relationship with his parents.
But since he was a child, he was alone and had no siblings.
He is also very envious of those children who have the support of his brothers and sisters, and every time he is bullied, he can only endure it by himself.
Wei Guo, who grew up day by day, chose to work in other places like his fellow villagers.
And it was at this time that he met his life partner, Meng Xiuping.
This year, Meng Xiuping just turned 18 years old, while Wei Guo was 17 years old.
The two fell in love soon after they met, and they fell in love to the depths, so they naturally didn't control themselves.
Suddenly, one day, his girlfriend Meng Xiuping told Wei Guoze that she was pregnant.
Wei Guo, who was overjoyed, immediately took Meng Xiuping back to his hometown to let him raise the fetus with peace of mind.
After all, adoptive mothers who live in their hometowns can also take better care of pregnant women.
In this way, Wei Guo rushed back to work in the field alone and worked hard.
Although he was only a 17-year-old boy at this time, he was vaguely aware of the burden on his shoulders as a soon-to-be father.
Every time he paid his salary, he only kept the money to meet his basic living needs, and sent the rest back to his hometown.
Ten months later, his wife gave birth to their first child, and he rushed back to his hometown.
Holding his eldest son in his arms, Wei Guo was so excited that he almost cried.
Of course, despite his reluctance, he still went back to work non-stop, and he wanted to continue to work hard for his small family.
And he will try to find time to return to his hometown to visit his wife and children.
Unexpectedly, even this short visit time would make his wife's stomach come with good news again.
In this way, year after year passed, and his wife's stomach never seemed to stop.
Exactly 12 years have passed, and the young couple has 10 children.
The pressure of the couple is self-evident, and it was at this time that Wei Guoze's adoptive mother died.
At this time, his wife was unable to take care of 10 children at home alone, and Wei Guo had to return to his hometown.
He will try to find some odd jobs in the neighborhood to earn some living expenses every day, and he can take care of the children when he returns home.
When there was no work to do, he would go to work in the fields, and sometimes the older children would follow him.
Coincidentally, the scene of Wei Guo doing farm work alone with several children was frozen by the photographer.
Unknown pleasures
When asked why he would feed so many children, Wei Guoze's answer was shocking.
"Raise it when you are born!" Moreover, he also has the concept of having many children and blessings in his subconscious.
Although Wei Guoze and his wife are particularly fond of children, they should also consider the reality of the situation.
Do they really think that having children is all about chance?
In fact, as early as when his wife gave birth to four or five children, Wei Guo obviously felt that there was enough.
"Then why keep giving birth?"
In the face of everyone's incomprehension, he just replied very naturally: because he was pregnant.
"Haven't you considered sterilization or contraception?"
This time, Wei Guoze's answer surprised everyone even more.
It turned out that Wei Guo thought that sterilization was particularly harmful to men's bodies, so he was particularly repulsive.
There was a man in the same village who was unable to work normally because of sterilization, which made Wei Guo particularly afraid.
After all, Wei Guo had to feed the whole family, and once he couldn't work, his family would be over.
"Who will raise my child?"
When it comes to inserting birth control devices for his wife, Wei Guo also regretted that his wife's body is very weak and not suitable.
Then, it is also possible to avoid taking necessary contraceptive measures!
"There are family planning supplies and condoms in the village, but I don't know how to use them. ”
Wei Guoze's answer made everyone laugh, but it also made people feel bleak.
A young man born in the 90s doesn't even know how to use family planning supplies, and the reason is that the level of education is too low.
For these reasons alone, a post-90s couple has been able to support 10 children.
Moreover, his wife in her 30s looks unusually old, and those who don't know think she is in her 40s.
Bringing children is particularly easy to make people age, and it is generally unbearable for a family to feed two or three children, let alone a full 10 children!
Fortunately, the couple was extremely harmonious, and they did not quarrel because of the number of children.
Wei Guo is dedicated to making money to support his family, and his wife is at ease with the children, and the two have a clear division of labor and understand each other.
No matter how hard he tried, Wei Guo had no culture, but could only do manual labor.
And the jobs in the neighborhood can generally earn five or six thousand yuan a month, which is already very good.
Such wages are often beyond the reach of a family with so many children.
Wei Guo said that the family usually eats and drinks just right, and the most feared thing is to encounter a child who is sick.
Sometimes, there is less work, less money is received, and it is difficult to feed the family.
Moreover, the family has to be crammed into a crumbling and dilapidated house, which makes people worry about their situation.
Netizens are talking about the fact that they have many children and live in extreme poverty.
In fact, as early as 2019, the family had moved into a 150-square-meter two-story building to live.
This is what the government has prepared specifically for this family.
It's just that because they have to farm the land and feed poultry and livestock, they will also move back to live.
Concerned about the safety risks, the government demolished their huts so that they could live in spacious and bright buildings.
At the same time, in order to allow the family to get a better life, the government has also set a special A type of subsistence allowance for them.
According to the benefits of the policy, each person can receive a monthly subsidy of 350 yuan on time.
According to the calculation of a total of 12 people in this family, they can receive 4,200 yuan a month.
At the same time, Wei Guoze's children also received the opportunity to study for free until high school.
Wei Guo enjoys pensions and ecological forest compensation.
All of these have made Wei Guoze's family much more affluent.
If Wei Guo continues to work abroad, plus state subsidies, he can get tens of thousands of yuan a month.
For ordinary families, the monthly income is already quite good.
Although Wei Guoze has more children, his basic life can still be well satisfied.
The motivated Wei Guo also fosters cattle and sheep in the village cooperative, and can get thousands of yuan in dividends every year.
When they went viral on the Internet, some people offered to adopt their children, but they were all sternly rejected.
In Wei Guoze's eyes, every child is a treasure in the palm of their husband's hand, and they will not give up any of them.
Even so, Wei Guo sometimes didn't even call the ten children by the right name.
However, children are all they strive for and the meaning of existence.
Moreover, the husband and wife are very satisfied with their current life.
In fact, from beginning to end, their mentality is very good, they do not complain about each other, only support each other.
When outsiders ridicule their lives infinitely, they who live deep in the mountains turn a deaf ear.
They just live their lives seriously.
Although there are more children, they all receive a good education, and the children are very sensible.
They studied hard and achieved very good results.
A shortcut to happiness
In 2022, there was good news from Wei Guoze's family, his eldest son was successfully admitted to the junior high school in the county.
This made Wei Guoze and his wife extremely happy, and the child's well-behaved and hard-working made them feel very gratified.
Wei Guo has also repeatedly said that he will work hard to let all children study well, be admitted to university, go out of the mountains, and find a good job.
Although, when he said this, Wei Guoze didn't have much savings.
But he has never been educated, and he knows that for children, the only way to change their fate is to read.
Therefore, he is willing to give everything in his heart to pave the way for the future of his children.
In Wei Guoze's body, there are many contradictions, he is a young post-90s generation, but he has no culture.
I don't know how to take even the most basic contraception.
He doesn't understand the internet, he doesn't even know how to use a smartphone, as if he is isolated from the outside world.
But he is very calm and open-minded, and he also knows that education is the most important way out for children.
He is willing to spend all his money to give the children a chance to get out of the mountains.
Of course, as bystanders, we sincerely hope that the couple and their children will have a good life.
But it also has to make people think that having a child is a major event that requires special caution.
The concept of having more children and more blessings has been eliminated today, and more people believe that fewer children will have a happy life.
