Yuan Yuan went out with his mountaineering bag and Tang Yi and wiped the sweat on his head.

"Alas, I didn't think it at home before, but when I came out, I realized that this world is really difficult. ”

"Okay, don't complain, let's go, Brother Zhang, they are still waiting for us in front." ”

Only the hostess and the old woman were there in the house they came, and Zhang Qixiang and Tong Hao were inconvenient to enter, so they waited for them at the pool in front of the house.

"What are the results of today's visit? There are still five households left to finish. ”

Zhang Qixiang was so hot that he fanned himself with a baseball cap. Most of the bulky equipment he brought with him was carried on Tong Hao's back, and he only brought a camera and a small interview camera that he used with him.

"It's not easy to do the remaining five households. Tang Yi flipped through the information and felt that his head was big.

"The first household is Zhang Xianggui's grandfather, who is eighty-two years old, his wife and children are gone, and he lives alone in an old house. Murakami was originally assigned to a nursing home, but Grandpa Zhang was not happy, saying that his wife and children were all here, and he would not leave. ”

"Grandpa Zhang is okay here, his personal requirements are not high, as long as his daily life is guaranteed, he has no additional needs. The problem of the second and third households here is more serious, and it also represents the current situation in most rural areas. ”

The second family is a grandmother with six grandchildren.

The situation in the third household is more complicated. There are only two elderly people in the family, the son died in an accident five years ago, the daughter-in-law can't stand the blow and goes crazy, and there are two children in the family, the eldest is a girl who is 11 years old and has suspended school in the fourth grade of primary school. The youngest son was born prematurely and had a difficult birth, he was born with problems, he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, he was already five years old, and he could only be taken care of like an infant.

The main purpose of their home visit was not in this area, but before leaving, they received a commission from the local county ** to combine the two for investigation, and they were accompanied by the assistance workers sent by the county.

"Okay, it's okay on our side, it's more complicated on the boss's side. ”

They don't know if they've watched too many TV series recently, and they don't rush Chen Yixin to call Xinxin, or Sister Xinxin, and call the boss directly.

Of the remaining five households, the problems of the fourth and fifth households are beyond Murakami's control, and he can only sigh when he talks about it.

Chen Yixin was gathered outside a small farm yard with the village chief, Tong Yue and the clerk of the county ** at this time.

Through the mottled and collapsed walls, you can faintly see the graves in the courtyard.

Seriously, they have walked more than a dozen mountain villages, and even the most backward villages have never built graves in their own yards.

The old village chief's dark and old face was full of helplessness.

"Comrade, let's leave first, this kid won't open the door for us. ”

Chen Yixin wanted to walk towards the wall, but when he moved, he was almost hit on the head by the stone thrown from inside. She stopped, took two steps back, pursed her lips and didn't speak.

After a long while, Chen Yixin turned around and left under the persuasion of the village chief and clerks.

"What the hell is going on? This kid locked himself up like this?"

"Almost, after the death of the last elder of his family three years ago, he was like this. Only in the morning and evening, when there is no one in the village, he will come out to pick up some firewood, or things that the people in the village don't want to go back. ”

The old village chief took them back to his yard, beckoned them to sit down, and asked his daughter-in-law to boil tea and bring it.

"Village chief, I see that it is recorded in the population file that there should be a sister in his family besides him. We didn't see anyone today?"

"His sister is at home. The old village chief sighed again, "His family is like this because of his sister." ”

"Can you elaborate on that?"

The old village chief's hands were shaking with the cigarette, and he couldn't say a word for a long time, and finally tears came out. Still his daughter-in-law couldn't look past it, so she came over and interjected.

"I'll tell you about it. ”

"I remember what happened when I got married to my fifth child, four or five years ago. ”

That family was also very popular in the village back then. There are seven people in the family, grandparents, parents, aunts and two children.

"His little aunt is an old girl, and she is eleven years older than his eldest girl. I was twenty when I got married, her aunt was nineteen, and the eldest girl was just over eight years old and less than nine years old. ”

The people in the village are not very old, and many people have already had de facto marriages before the legal age of marriage, and it is not uncommon for them to wait until they have children to get a license. Including the village chief's family, his daughter-in-law is one year older than the fifth child, and the fifth child was not yet old enough to get a certificate when she got married.

"It doesn't matter whether we get a license here or not, as long as we put the wine, everyone will recognize it. At the age of seventeen, his little aunt fell in love with a young man from a neighboring village, and talked for almost two years, planning to get married on the National Day that year. In order to earn money and set up wine, the two went to the county seat to work early. ”

She was on the May Day wine, and the little aunt also came back at that time, and said with a shyness that she had a baby, and she would not go to the county seat after she came back, and waited for the wine to be placed in October, and she would probably be able to give birth during the New Year.

"It's like this in the countryside, so everyone didn't think there was a problem, and only joked that she should hurry up and don't give birth to the child in her parents' house. ”

"I was so envious of her. I have been talking to the fifth child for two years, and I have not been pregnant for more than a year of living together, I am not afraid that you will laugh, our marriage in the countryside is unstable, and we will not have a baby. ”

This is the status quo in the countryside, and Chen Yixin can't change this status quo even if they complain in their hearts.

"It's probably September, not long after the start of school, the eldest girl in his family is in the central school of the town, living in the school, and coming back once a week. It was the second week of school, and the eldest girl's mother said that she would go to the town to buy fertilizer and pick her up by the way. As a result, the new aunt came that day, and brought two friends, saying that they came to help prepare for the wedding. Her mother couldn't go to entertain guests, and her new aunt's friend came on a motorcycle, so she said that he might go and help pick up the child. ”

Because he didn't know anyone, the young man waited at the school gate for a long time and didn't wait for anyone, and found the teacher and asked, saying that the person had already left. Now he was in a hurry, and the young man rode back and accidentally collided with the car at the Nagato Bridge.

"It was originally a good intention, but something happened, one of the young man's legs was crushed by the car, and he suffered a comminuted fracture, and the doctor said that even if he was fine, he would have to be disabled. ”

Because this incident was quite unpleasant, especially when the new aunt learned that the eldest niece of the prospective wife deliberately slipped away because she wanted to play with her friends, this anger exploded directly.

"Think about it, other people's friends came to help, but something happened, and people were still disabled, and they didn't know how to live in the future. So the other party's family proposed compensation, saying that it would be 200,000 or 300,000. In our place, let alone 200,000 or 300,000, there can be 350,000 rich. The money can't be taken out, the family comes to make trouble every day, and the prospective aunt is complained by friends and family, and he contacts the marriage contract in a fit of anger. ”

Chen Yixin and the others couldn't help but glance at each other, needless to say, something will happen later.
