Village chief Xu Hengchun heard from Tanya that Xu Tongdao's Ximen Group was going to sponsor poor students in the village to go to school. After a sudden surprise, he immediately became energetic and stood up on the spot to take Tanya to visit the most difficult families in the village (those with school-age children).
family).
Xu Hengchun led Tanya out of the village headquarters and towards the end of the village.
While walking, he introduced to Tanya: "Xiao Tan, the two children I'm taking you to see now are from the same family. Alas, speaking of it, these two children are also pitiful. Just the year before last, the father of those two children also
He was only in his thirties, and he was a strong labor force! One morning, he went to the field to set up electric wires to irrigate his rice fields, but...
Alas! He didn't see that a wire on the telephone pole fell into the ditch. He stepped into the ditch and was electrocuted to death in the ditch.
What a wonderful family! The two sons, the eldest son is 11 years old and the younger son is 9 years old, are both in school. Just because the guy was beaten to death, the mother of the two children quietly left in the first half of this year.
, she didn’t take any of her two sons with her, leaving them all to her father-in-law.
And her father-in-law was originally a father-in-law, but now he is over seventy and can no longer earn any money outside. He only relies on taking care of a few acres of land at home. How can he, an old man, do anything? Right? So...
, the harvest of those few acres of fields is not good either,
Although the school exempted his two children from tuition fees in view of his family's special circumstances, apart from the tuition fees, it was also very difficult for the old man to raise two and a half-year-old children by himself.
This is not a joke..."
Along the way, the village chief Xu Hengchun explained the situation of the two children to Tanya.
It also successfully aroused Tanya's compassion.
"Is that woman so cruel? She just left by herself? She didn't care about either of her two sons?"
Tanya felt incredible.
Is there such a cruel woman in the world?
Village chief Xu Hengchun sighed, "Who says it's not the case? After she ran away, her father-in-law also took their two children to find her parents' home, but... alas! That woman's father and mother were not sold by human beings.
, not to mention where their daughter went, forget it, they even pushed the old man and two grandsons out of the house, and then the couple didn't know where they went, so that the old man and two grandsons couldn't find them.
Two people..."
Tanya: "..."
"We are really not a family. We don't belong to the same family! As a mother, we don't care about our two sons, and as grandpa and grandma, we don't care about our two grandchildren?"
Xu Hengchun: "What else can I say about that woman's father? Mother is not someone who can sell her!"
(Pin: This is the pin of the latch.)
…
The road in the village was not very flat, and it was getting dark again. The two of them walked one foot deeper and one foot shallower to a house at the end of the village.
There is a light bulb on in the room.
Dim yellow light.
Tanya followed Xu Hengchun, and when she walked through the front door of the house, she saw an old man and two children sitting at the Eight Immortals table eating.
The furniture at home is not very old.
It was probably purchased by the parents of the two children when they got married.
As soon as Xu Hengchun stepped through the door, he shouted carelessly: "Old blind man! Why don't your family have dinner until now? You are old and don't know how to be hungry, and your two grandsons don't know how to be hungry either? The two little guys are still there.
You’re so tall! How did your grandpa do it? Huh?”
In a word, the old man and the young man who were eating all heard it.
The old man's hair is almost completely white, he is skinny, his face is wrinkled, his eyes are cloudy, and his eyesight does not seem to be very good, but he is not really blind.
He squinted his eyes, stared at Xu Hengchun, and asked with a mouth that had few teeth: "Who is it? Yes, it's Hengchun, right?"
The older child next to him: "Well, I am the village chief!"
The younger child's expression changed, and he became a little panicked, "Master, I, we didn't steal anyone's things today, we really didn't steal anything..."
When the eldest child heard this, his expression also changed, and he looked at Xu Hengchun and Tanya warily, "Master, today's firewood was really picked up by ourselves, not stolen!"
The old man looked at his two grandsons with his cloudy eyes, frowned with his thick gray eyebrows, and asked in a deep voice: "You really didn't steal anything? You didn't steal anything, why did they come to our house again?"
As he questioned, the old man slapped his hand on the table.
The two and a half-year-old children were startled and shrank.
The eyes that looked at Xu Hengchun and Tanya immediately showed a sense of hostility.
Village chief Xu Hengchun quickly stopped him: "Old blind man! Don't scare the child. The child didn't steal anything. We are here today to bring benefits to your family!"
With that said, he introduced Tanya beside him.
…
More than an hour later.
Xu Hengchun and Tanya came out of this house, and Xu Hengchun led Tanya to another house.
While walking, introduce the situation of that family.
"Xiao Tan, the situation of the house I'm taking you to now is like this:
This family was not divorced, but they were really poor. The couple had to bear the pressure of family planning and had one baby after another. Their family conditions were not good, but they just wanted to have a son, so they gave birth to a son.
I already have three daughters, and I’m going to have another one. You know about the family planning policy. In the past few years, I’ve been visiting his house almost every year. There’s a fine for having more children!
Their family had no money to pay the fine, so all the rice and rapeseed they harvested were taken away, as were their pigs and a cow.
The family can't afford to eat, and now they live in a house with a mud foundation! The roof used to have tiles, but because of the birth, it was full of holes. The family didn't have money to cover it, so they got some straw to cover the roof.
Block the rain, here! It’s the house in front of you, do you see it?”
As he spoke, Xu Hengchun pointed at a house dozens of meters away in the night.
The low earth-based house has walls made of adobe bricks, and the roof... is indeed a bit bloated, as if some straw has been piled on it.
"Then did their family finally give birth to a son?"
Tanya couldn't help but be curious.
Xu Hengchun laughed, "Oh, well, I did give birth to a baby, but what a sin! The family is extremely poor, with three daughters. The eldest daughter was kicked out to work last year to make money, but their family is still living a good life.
No, no, this year, my second daughter and my third daughter are not allowed to go to school. They are all working on the farm at home, helping with the work..."
Tanya frowned, "How old are the second and third daughters this year? What grade were they originally in?"
Xu Hengchun: "Oh, I don't know much about this. They are all in their teens, right? We'll find out later when we get to his house and ask.
However, I know that his second daughter seems to have already entered junior high school, and his younger daughter has not graduated from elementary school..."
When the two of them were about to reach that house, a little girl's loud crying suddenly came from that house.
Also heard was a man's scolding voice.
"You little bastard! You still dare to cry? You cry again? If you cry again, I will beat you to death..."
