Throughout the afternoon, Wang Qian was busy in the commercial square, and she was responsible for more work matters, and she basically couldn't stop. When she got off work, Wang Qian returned to her workstation, and before she could sit down, she immediately took out her mobile phone monitoring to check the live situation in the living room at home.
The camera was obscured by curtains, and only the sound of the TELEVISION could be heard. Wang Qian frowned slightly, manipulated the camera to turn to the glass of the bookcase, through the reflection, saw her mother and brother sitting peacefully on the sofa, Wang Qian breathed a sigh of relief, everything was safe.
Wang Qian's heart has always been touched by her family. The mother fell serious mental illness due to epilepsy in his early years, his younger brother Wang Chengcai was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was 5 months old, and he could not take care of himself, and his brother sometimes had self-harm or injurious behavior; his father was the pillar of the family, but 6 years ago, he slipped his lumbar spine and lost his ability to work after surgery.
The heavy responsibility of taking care of the family suddenly fell on Wang Qian's shoulders.
25 years old, the most brilliant age. However, compared with other girls, Wang Qian's 25-year-old is so different.

"I can't move him anymore"
Wang Qian's family of four lives in a public rental house in the Sunshine Community of Sanliqiao Street, Jin'an District, Lu'an City, with a small area and only 5 minutes to ride a bicycle from Wang Qian's unit.
For Wang Qian, it is this 5-minute journey, she still feels long. Every day at noon, after Wang Qian finished her working meal in the unit canteen, she rode on a battery car and rushed home to make lunch for her mother and brother.
"Usually it's noodles, but my brother can't chew them, he can only eat some thin ones." In the narrow kitchen, Wang Qian skillfully fried two eggs and put them into boiled noodles to supplement the nutrition of her mother and brother. While the noodles were cooling, Wang Qian carried her brother from the bedroom to the living room to help him wash first.
From the bedroom door to the living room sofa, it is only about one meter and five meters away. The younger brother is 21 years old and weighs nearly 65 kilograms, and Wang Qian has to drive him back and forth on the aisle several times a day, with a staggering pace and a lot of difficulty. "He's heavier than me, and I can't move him anymore." Wang Qian said with a smile as she scrubbed her brother.

Compared with helping his brother wash up, coaxing his brother to feed him every day is a more difficult task. The younger brother would sometimes deliberately bury his head in the sofa and play with Wang Qian. In order to coax her brother to eat, Wang Qian always had to think of various ways, "Sometimes show him the video he took before, sometimes you have to carry him to the top of the building to see the scenery, you have to coax well, you can eat with me." Even if the younger brother is willing to cooperate, in the process of swallowing, he is constantly shaking his head, Wang Qian can only hold his brother's chin, clamp the noodles high, and carefully send the noodles into the mouth of the younger brother, the younger brother does not chew, directly swallow the noodles into the stomach. Then, Wang Qian had to go through a new round of "cajoling".
A bowl of noodles was fed, and Wang Qian's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, as if she had undergone a long run. "Usually my brother eats four bowls of noodles at noon. Sometimes I have to work overtime at night, and the time off work is not fixed, so I want him to eat more at noon. Talking about the details of taking care of her brother, Wang Qian's eyes suddenly turned red, "I've always felt sorry for him, growing up so big, I didn't let him eat a good meal." ”

"I want to take my brother out to see"
When she was a child, Wang Qian's family lived in the mountainous area of Dabie Mountain, walking on the mountain road, the left hand side was a cliff, the right hand side was a cliff, and if you didn't pay attention, you would step on the air. When she met her brother who needed to go down the mountain to see a doctor, Wang Qian always hugged and carried her brother on her back, and carefully groped slowly on the mountain road.
At the end of 2017, After graduating from college, Wang Qian returned to Lu'an to work. One day, Wang Qian received a phone call from her father, saying that her brother was no longer able to eat or drink at home. By the time Wang Qian returned home, her brother in front of her was already in a severe coma. Wang Qian carried her brother around the local hospitals, but was told that she could not be treated.
Wang Qian came to Hefei with her brother, and many doctors persuaded Wang Qian to give up treatment. "How could I give up on saving him, he's my brother!" Speaking of this, Wang Qian's eyes burst into tears again.
When she was transferred to the hospital for the last time, Wang Qian really couldn't find a car, so she could only rely on mobile phone navigation to carry her brother for three or four kilometers. In those days, the soles of Wang Qian's soles and soles were all glued together by blood. The doctor was touched by Wang Qian, arranged for hospitalization, and finally "picked up" one of his brother's lives.
In January 2019, Wang Qian finally moved into the public rental housing provided by the local government, which is also her sixth move in a year. Wang Qian said: "In the past, where it was cheap, I would move wherever it was, and I spent a night moving alone, and this time I lived in a public rental house, and for the first time I had a feeling of 'home'." ”
Affected by the disease, for 20 years, his brother never said a word to Wang Qian, and Wang Qian also carried his brother on his back for 20 years. It is indeed bitter, but in Wang Qian's view, as long as her brother and parents are there, this family will still be there. Sometimes when I come home tired from work and see my brother smiling at myself, I feel that everything is worth it.
Wang Qian has always had a wish, "If I have the opportunity, I want to take my brother to the hospital in Beijing and Shanghai for a good examination and treatment, and over the years, my greatest guilt is that I have not been able to provide better treatment for my brother." Even if it's for an expert to take a look? ”
"I didn't want to give up"
One man supports this home in the midst of storms. After learning about wang qian's family, some doctors and friends also gently advised Wang Qian to give up, which may make everyone feel relieved, but Wang Qian refused: "Although the current life is difficult, it is always better than before!"
Because of the illness of her mother and brother, at a very young age, Wang Qian realized that her family was different from other families. After finishing junior high school, the sensible Wang Qian applied for a vocational school in Hefei and wanted to graduate early and work to share the pressure of the family.
During her college years, Wang Qian has been reducing the burden on her family through work-study, earning up to 500 yuan a month.
Every time he came home from vacation, his father would find out the only money left in the family and give it to Wang Qian, hoping that she would live better outside. Wang Qian also always tried all kinds of ways to hide the money in a corner of the house, and then told her father that she was not short of money when she arrived at school.
In 2015, Wang Qian encountered the first hurdle in her life. While still studying in Hefei, she suddenly received a phone call that her father had a recurrence of a back injury and had to be sent to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. Wang Qiandong cobbled together the medical bills, and when she returned home, she realized that now she had encountered the most difficult choice in her life: sending her father to the hospital for surgery, and her mother and brother were left unattended at home; taking care of her mother and brother at home, her father could not be sent to the hospital for treatment. "Before I worked hard, I was able to persevere, but at that moment, I really didn't know how to take care of my family."
Wang Qian, who was at a loss for words, contacted her teacher, who knew the situation at Wang Qian's home, and without saying a word, drove Wang Qian and her father to the provincial hospital, and her aunt and uncle also came to help take care of her mother and brother. From the time Wang Qian's father entered the hospital for surgery to discharge, there were only 8 days in total, not that Wang Qian's father recovered quickly, but Wang Qian, who was strong, was really embarrassed to ask others for help again.
Seeing that her father's wounds were still oozing blood, Wang Qian remembered the bits and pieces of her father's farm work when she was a child, and made up her mind: My father never gave up this family in the most difficult time, and I will definitely not give up.
Wang Qian said that now she can earn about four thousand yuan a month, and she can save a little while renting a house and taking care of her family's life. She was satisfied with that.
"Because I have been in the rain, I also want to hold an umbrella for others"
Working for 8 hours, 16 hours after work, Wang Qian has been in a state of continuous rotation for a long time. Even at night, Wang Qian had a hard time sleeping soundly, and if she didn't pay attention to her brother, she would urinate on the bed. But the optimistic Wang Qian has been saying that she has received the help of so many well-meaning people, the support of the party and the government, and living in public rental housing, everything will slowly get better.
In September 2019, Wang Qian completed the correspondence course in education at Anhui Normal University. Why did you choose to study pedagogy? Wang Qian said that in the most difficult moments of her life, it was the teacher who gave her spiritual motivation, so she has always regarded the teacher as her idol. "If I had the choice, I would also like to be a teacher, telling the children in the mountains that they must study and try to change their destiny."
Wang Qian's circle of friends signature reads: "Because of the rain, I also want to hold umbrellas for others." "She did. In her spare time, Wang Qian also actively participated in community public welfare undertakings. In July this year, a flood occurred in Zhengzhou, Henan, and Wang Qian and her friends donated money and materials to Henan. A community worker in the Sunshine community said that since the outbreak of the epidemic last year, as long as there is time, Wang Qian will always go to the community to help build a handle, and has also won many commendations at the district level.

The sword blade came out of the grinding, and the plum blossom fragrance came from the bitter cold.
Wang Qian loves to laugh, even if one second she is recalling the past, sad things creep into her heart, the next second she will smile again because she remembers the concern of the people around her.
She believes the future will be better, and we believe her future will be better.
