Chapter 8: Little Laiguo's Home
Teacher Yao is very talkative, when Yang Jiewen asked him about Xiao Laiguo's home, Teacher Yao said, this child is actually quite sensible, I remember that when he came to school, he was much smaller than other children, I thought he did not reach the legal age to go to school, so he asked his parents to take it back first, and then come to report next year or the year after next. I remember that Xiao Laiguo was brought by his grandmother, and his grandmother was also yellow and thin, not human, so I asked her curiously, who are you this child? His grandmother said it was grandma. I asked again, what about the child's parents? You are so old, how inconvenient is it to cross the mountains? His grandmother said that this child has no mother, and his father has a lot of things to do, so he can't come to school. I sympathized with them and decided to visit the home later.
I went to Xiao Laiguo's house about half a month after the start of school. Alas! Teacher Yao sighed before continuing, "Is this a home?" Three generations, three people, the old one, the little one, the one in the middle who doesn't do his job, smokes inferior cigarettes, drinks mixed wine, and the house is full of smoke and miasma, and there is nothing to say. ”
Teacher Yao paused for a moment, and then said, "At first, I didn't know that Xiao Laiguo's mother was beaten away by his father, but after visiting his home, I found out about this situation. His grandmother is not in good health, but she has no money for treatment, Xiao Laiguo's father rarely pays attention to her, and he wanders outside every day without working and does not make money to support his family, so I wonder how he survives? Later, I learned that in addition to gambling, I also stole. ”
After nearly two hours of groping, the outline of a small mountain village finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and a few dog barks had been heard in the distance, and everyone was surprised. At this moment, although everyone is hungry, I still hope to come to Xiao Laiguo's house as soon as possible to see Laiguo's grandmother and pass on a love to the elderly.
"Grandma, grandma, someone has come to visit you." Xiao Laiguo happily pushed open the hidden door and ran straight to his grandmother's bed in the dark.
"Get out, dog mongrel, what are you yelling at?" With a roar, I don't know what flew from the dark room towards the door, hitting Director Zhou Tangrong's chest, fortunately, the thing that flew over was not hard. Otherwise, the consequences are really unpredictable.
Everyone hurriedly retreated from the house one after another. Teacher Yao used a flashlight to shine on the ground and found a tattered cloth shoe lying at the door.
Xiao Laiguo didn't seem to be alarmed, I saw him continue to run towards the house, ran inside, lit a kerosene lamp, the room was still dark and couldn't see clearly, on the two side-by-side wooden beds, I saw the shape of the quilt bulging, it should be that there was a person sleeping on both beds.
"Little baby, who's coming to our house?" Although the voice was very low, almost like a mosquito moaning, Xiao Laiguo still heard it, and quickly walked to the bedside, pulled one of his grandmother's hands out of the quilt, shook it vigorously and said, "Grandma, grandma, it was the school teacher Yao who brought a group of good people to our house to see you coming, grandma, our family is saved." ”
Teacher Yao cautiously led a group of people to carefully walk to Grandma Xiaolaiguo's bed. Although the group was exhausted, no one wanted to find a stool or a clean place to sit and rest.
The dark shadow on the other bed suddenly lifted the corner of the quilt and sat up from the bed. He exuded the smell of alcohol all over his body, and pointed at the crowd with his slurred mouth and cursed intermittently: "You are... Yes... Who's going to come into my house and do it... Whatever you're doing, give it to me... Roll··· Get out, get out, impact... Lao Tzu sleeps··· Sleep... After a while, he fell down again, and fell asleep.
This time in Laiguo's house, everyone finally understood the hardships of life brought about by a poor family. In this family, there is no minimum food and clothing and joy of life, more illness, abuse, alcoholism, not to mention the warmth, harmony and happiness of the family.
Perhaps poverty is caused or contributed to by a variety of factors, and not all of them are just a single kind of poverty caused by illness or other impending misfortune. However, the long-term lack of a source of income to ensure the maintenance of a family's most basic daily expenses is very fatal, resulting in the inability to maintain the daily operation of the whole family. But a family like Xiao Laiguo's is another typical poverty caused by the irresponsibility of the head of the family himself, and the disastrous consequences of a lazy parent to the whole family.
Such a family could have completely escaped the immediate family dilemma and become self-sufficient. It's a pity that the owner of this family did not take his due responsibility. Instead, it gradually fragmented a family that should have been complete. The owner's laziness, alcoholism, drowsiness, beating, laziness, and bad attitude towards life are the culprits of the vicious circle of the family's wife running away, the mother's illness without money to be treated, and the children being left uncared for.
These members of the support team are engaged in a heated discussion about this, forming two opposing views: "One opinion is that families like Laiguo can only give up help. reason, this kind of help will cause the male owner of the family to become more numb in his thoughts, anyway, it is a food that comes to him, and if he doesn't eat for nothing, he won't eat it, and this kind of help will lose its practical significance; Another opinion is that Xiao Laiguo's home, no matter which way you look at it, is on the verge of ruin. Although we hate the owner's lack of courage and hard work, if we don't help the family that has reached the verge of 'death', and we have to find all kinds of reasons, then our help is the real nonsense. This opinion is dominated by Yang Jiewen and several others.
Everyone couldn't convince each other for a while. Yang Jiewen then said: "In this way, this family will be personally helped and supported by me in the future, and I will personally pair up with Xiaolaiguo's family, and everyone should stop arguing about it." ”
Zhou Tangrong suggested: "Mr. Yang, first of all, I admire your personal sentiments, the situation of this family is indeed a little special, and you personally pair up to help, and everyone is not opposed." But what kind of help method, there are still some small doorways in it, you have to be cautious and careful, I suggest that you have better find a reliable supervision object in the local area, and pass the help funds through him, so as not to let the help funds fall into the hands of Xiao Laiguo's father. ”
Yang Jiewen listened to Zhou Tangrong's suggestion and agreed: "Director Zhou is worthy of being a veteran of doing things, this suggestion is very good, who do you think is more appropriate to find to keep it?" ”
Zhou Tangrong didn't wait for others to speak, pointed to Teacher Yao's person and said: "I personally think that Teacher Yao from Fenglin Valley School is more suitable, the reason, first, Xiao Laiguo is his student, he has to come to school every day, and the friendship between teachers and students and Teacher Yao's personal moral sentiments can be trusted with this entrustment; Second, Mr. Yao can also allocate Xiaolaiguo's family funds well, and can be careful in planning and using the funds reasonably. ”
When Mr. Yao heard this, he said earnestly: "As long as Mr. Yang trusts me, I promise to reasonably distribute this hard-won donation to Xiaolaiguo's family, so that he will not starve and freeze." ”
Yang Jiewen said with a smile: "Director Zhou's analysis is reasonable, I am very relieved to hand over this donation to Mr. Yao to keep and dispose of Xiaolaiguo, and I promise to pair Xiaolaiguo, from now on, until Xiaolaiguo enters the society and is self-sufficient." Therefore, I will not call this money all at once, and when I return to Fenglin Valley School, I will discuss with Mr. Yao to implement the specific plan. ”
