Chapter 142: The New Deal
In the past few years, there has been a lot of unrest in the countryside, and when the egalitarianism of the big pot of rice has almost reached its limit, land reform has been ushered in. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 At the same time, information has been proposing family planning for several years, and it has also abruptly changed from a propaganda period to a concrete implementation. Facts have proved that our government's ability to control is unprecedented, and even such an inhumane policy has been properly implemented as a basic national policy for nearly 30 years.
1980~1984. The family planning policy has been further tightened. In the end, local governments took "advocacy" as a "political task". Basically, only one child is allowed. The previous policy was "late, rare, and few", and it was best for a couple to have one child. Up to two, with an interval of more than 3 years. But from this year, it suddenly became mandatory.
In the area where Baiyun County is located, family planning has been particularly tightened, and it has created a "feat" of negative population growth for more than 10 consecutive years. Even the illiterate common people know that there will be problems if this continues, but those "brick families" and "scholars" are still proudly boasting about the benefits of family planning. This is an excellent way for many officials to demonstrate their abilities. During this time, how many innocent children have lost the opportunity to come into this world, abortion, induced labor, and sterilization. People's reproductive rights have entered the darkest mode in history.
After Yang Xiaobei was born, he was sent a "single child certificate" for the first time, and the government advocated "the glory of single children" every day, and the parents were reasonable, even if they were reluctant, they did not plan to have a second child. As a result, a few years later, the policy changed abruptly, and the first child was allowed to be a girl, and after three years, a second child was allowed. The township sent the birth permit to the family again. This is really ridiculous, anyway, the common people don't have any room to beak, so let's give birth! So the "only child" Yang Xiaobei has an unexpected younger brother.
The consequences of family planning will be shocking in later generations. It took only 20 years for the country to go from a healthy adult society to an aging society, and although the developed countries have also entered the aging population, it takes 80-100 years for people to live, and the per capita GDP is 10 times that of the country. Not to mention the serious imbalance between men and women, which brings about a series of social problems.
The heavy consequences of aging have not yet been felt, but the problem of singles is already a problem for the whole society. Although the official statistics show that there are tens of millions more adult males, most of this problem is concentrated in the rural areas, there are not many girls, and many have gone out and have not returned, and only those who can afford the bride price can marry a daughter-in-law, and some families may not be able to marry even if they have tried their best to do so, and the contradiction has reached a very acute point.
The younger brother is 7 years younger than Yang Xiaobei, because of Yang Xiaobei's experience, his mother began to look for a daughter-in-law when he was 22 years old, and he didn't get married until he was nearly 30 years old. The bride price has changed from no at the beginning to nearly 300,000 cash for the house and car. The family's savings were not enough, and in the end, the relatives borrowed a few sums to make the wedding happen. This is not an exaggeration, it is just the most ordinary and lucky experience of rural boys.
As a village-level health unit, Yang Xiaobei also received a notice to take charge of family planning work in her village. Of course, it is not her turn to arrest people and induce labor, and that is the matter of the village cadres and the township family planning office. What Yang Xiaobei has to do is to count the situation of women of childbearing age in the village and pay close attention to their fertility situation. Although she can't offend anyone, she is also helpless. There is nothing like the despair that comes from knowing that it is wrong, but powerless to change.
There are some things that don't happen to you, and you won't feel that much anyway. But now, every day I come into contact with desperate, numb mothers. If there are more than two births, all of them will be sent to the township for ligation surgery. If you don't go, you will be forcibly escorted, and if you hide in the mountains, you will be arrested. In the case that one party does not cooperate and the other party goes through the process, the women who have been sterilized are sent back in a hurry, and problems such as postoperative infection will not be considered at all.
Yang Xiaobei was not notified to deal with the follow-up questions, but she has a list of each ligation. When she couldn't do anything else for them, she had to go to their homes every day with a medical kit to help change dressings, remove stitches, and administer medicine if she was infected. Because she took the initiative to come to the door, she usually didn't charge for it. It's already very sad, and she's not here to generate income.
Some people talk about benevolence and righteousness, and they have to give money, so Yang Xiaobei symbolically accepts one or two yuan. Many years later, they remembered that in this saddest and most desperate moment, there was a little girl, wearing a white coat and carrying a medical box that was too heavy for her, and walked into the house with a smile on her face. She whispered softly and patiently inquired about her physical condition. After being brutally deprived of reproductive rights, this warmth will never be forgotten for the rest of your life.
Yang Xiaobei didn't know that her spontaneous actions that she couldn't look at would make many people grateful. The clinic has been open for a few months, and the popularity has gradually spread, and there are more patients every day, plus she has to go to the clinic and deliver babies, which is almost a non-stop rhythm.
No, just after returning from an injection at a grandmother's house, Yang Xiaobei almost spread out on the chair and didn't want to move. Yi Huifen poured her a glass of water and said worriedly, "I just said I'll go, you have to go by yourself, look at how tired you have been recently!"
Smiling tiredly, Yang Xiaobei picked up the cup and drank the water in one gulp, saying, "Grandma Li's situation is not very good, I'll go over and take a look and rest assured." "Mom also ran outside yesterday for a day, and they took turns to go to the clinic and take a break.
"Alas, too, it's done. Yi Huifen knew that Grandma Li had cancer, but the children had a conscience and sent them to the county hospital to see them, but they heard that it was cancer and brought it back. People in their seventies are terminally ill, and it's not interesting to waste money in the hospital, so let's go home. The doctor also agreed that there was really no need for treatment for such advanced patients, and they could only be prescribed a little painkiller to make the old man leave less painfully.
Grandma Li came back from the hospital and went directly to the clinic to settle down, holding Yang Xiaobei's hand and asking her to go home to give herself an injection, the nurse in the hospital was too painful to give the injection...... Yang Xiaobei agreed, it was she who found the symptoms of the old man and suggested that her family go to the hospital, but there was no way, it was already an advanced stage. However, both Grandma Li and her family still trust Dr. Yang, and they came back from the hospital to find him.
At this time, the management of anesthetics was still very loose, and the chief doctor could prescribe several large boxes of Demerol with a red prescription, and they could also take it away. When the son of the Li family readily handed a large pile of Du Lengding to Yang Xiaobei, she couldn't help but secretly wipe a cold sweat. This dose is directly enough to be sentenced in the next generation, okay!
Because she was not at ease, Yang Xiaobei specially put the medicine in a secret place, and went to inject her grandmother herself every day. There is no doubt about the pain of terminal cancer, and what Grandma Li looks forward to most every day is that Dr. Yang will come over, and Dr. Yang will be the most powerful, and she will be able to sleep with the needle.
