Liu Kai of Baihe Village, Honghun Town, Wuxiang County, Changzhi City, is a rural one-woman household, and her daughter Liu Wenli has recruited her to stay with him when she grows up. In 2002, my father-in-law fell ill and went blind, and Zhang Yingwen took good care of him for so many years. Relatives and friends all said enviously: "You see that the daughter and son-in-law of Liu Laohan are so filial and obedient, and their lives are full of taste and happiness!" ”
Father-in-law is the same as father
A few years ago, in order to take care of her father, her daughter Liu Wenli "married" her husband into the family after obtaining the consent of her subject, Zhang Yingwen. Zhang Yingwen, who is generous and down-to-earth, is warm and polite to his neighbors and is like a biological father to his father-in-law.
It is reported that Zhang Yingwen is a native of Baihe Village, Honghun Town, Wuxiang County, Changzhi City, and was a coal miner when he was young. In 1990, he was introduced by a matchmaker to marry Liu Wenli and became a door-to-door son-in-law. Three years later, their son was born, cared for by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, for which Zhang Yingwen was grateful: "The two old people took care of my wife and took care of my son, which was also very good to me. ”
Every morning, Zhang Yingwen gets up at 7 o'clock to make breakfast, and then calls his wife and father-in-law to get up and help his father-in-law get dressed. After that, he would bring food to his wife and hand it to him, and then Zhang Yingwen would feed his father-in-law spoon by spoon. After he finished eating in a hurry, he helped his father-in-law to the toilet. After doing this, I went to work in the field, watched TV with my family in the afternoon, and helped my father-in-law to move indoors in the evening.
In 2001, his mother-in-law died of illness, and in 2002, his father-in-law fell ill and went blind, when his son was only 9 years old, zhang Yingwen had to quit his job to take care of his blind father-in-law and young son. At the beginning of his father-in-law's blindness, he found a Chinese medicine regular acupuncture for his father-in-law, and each time he carried his father-in-law on his back for more than three years. Zhang Yingwen took care of his father-in-law without complaint, and his patience and care deeply touched the doctor, and said to Liu Laohan: "You really gave birth to a good son!" Whenever he heard this, Liu Laohan hurriedly explained, "This is our son-in-law!" "Such a son-in-law is really more dear than er!" The doctor replied enviously. Liu Laohan felt very proud and happy.
He is my son
Walking into the room of Zhang Yingwen's father-in-law, Liu Kai, I saw that the room was clean and tidy, without any peculiar smell. The bed was draped with a mosquito net, touching the top of the tent without the slightest bit of dust. Old man Liu Kai sat on the bed, neatly dressed, his face was rosy, his spirit was very good, and he looked like he was in his 50s. It is hard to believe that he is a 70-year-old man who has been blind for 13 years.
Zhang Yingwen, 46 years old, is not tall, has an inch, and his thin face has been engraved with many wrinkles, appearing loyal and honest, simple and unpretentious. He spoke to his father-in-law, whispered softly, and the words revealed his love for his father-in-law, full of intimacy, allowing the human body to feel a warm current. His thick hands make people know at a glance that he is a good hand who loves to work.
There is a custom in the countryside, where men are outside and women are inside. But Zhang Yingwen, the door-to-door son-in-law, not only has to go out to work every day to earn money, but also bears the burden of taking care of the lives of the elderly.
As the saying goes, there is no filial piety in front of the bed for a long time. However, Zhang Yingwen has taken care of his father-in-law in obscurity with a simple love, and has interpreted the touching story of "filial piety in front of the bed for a long time" with sincerity.
