Chen Lu visited Cheng Yuefeng in L Town, which caught Cheng Yuefeng off guard. It turned out that there was a petition case in L Town where Cheng Yuefeng was located. The village where the petitioner is located is Shiqian Village, which is adjacent to the village where Cheng Yuefeng works. The petitioner's name is Jess Zhang, a 38-year-old peasant woman, who is responding to the problem of serious illness relief for her stepfather who is over 80 years old. Chen Lu and the director of the petition office in Y Town came to investigate the situation together. Cheng Yuefeng went to Qianshizhuang with Xiao Ning, a staff member of L Town Letters and Calls Office. More importantly, he wants to know about Jess Zhang's family. On the way, Xiao Ning introduced Zhang Qian's family situation. Jess Zhang is very filial. She never gave up her stepfather in her 80 s, her disabled and blind mother and her brother with intermittent mental illness. She has been carefully nursed by her husband's family for sixteen years, being kind to her in-laws and dutiful to her daughter-in-law. She took good care of her children, supported two tottering families with weak shoulders, nourished the hearts of every family member with the clear spring of love, and merged into great love on earth. Exactly: "Who can understand the taste of Dou Yun's infatuation?" .
Qianshizhuang is located on the south bank of Shihe River. In May, the weather temperature was over 30 degrees, the heat wave rolled under clear skies, and the wheat in Ma Pingchuan was golden. On the road connecting every village in the countryside, the harvested rapeseed is piled up on the roadside, some farmers wave and beat rapeseed, and some are overhauling agricultural machinery, which is a busy scene. At 9 o'clock in the morning, they walked into Jess Zhang's farmhouse. Although I had heard the introduction of the village official in advance and was psychologically prepared, I was still stunned by the scene before me.
Jess Zhang's housing is a row of four halls, with earthen walls and tiled roofs, low doors and small windows, and the interior is dark; Two east wing rooms, one full of grass, and one temporary shed is her kitchen; On the west side of the main house, there is a low shed-like house covered with asbestos tiles. In the room that smells like cow dung, there is a bed near the south stool, where the in-laws live. To the north of the bed are cow troughs and cowsheds. Jess Zhang said that the two cows lying in the yard are the property of the bachelor brother and his in-laws. Brother bachelor lives in a yard with them and sleeps in a room of the main landlord. On the south side of the cowshed, build a shed against the wall, and put pots and pans in the shed. Jess Zhang said, this is the kitchen fire of in-laws and bachelors in the past. After my father-in-law fell ill, the two families cooked and ate together here for three years. However, Jess Zhang gives the impression of simplicity and neatness. Although he is 38 years old, he is still handsome, and the difference between looks and circumstances is really a world of difference. Jess Zhang seemed to see the doubts of Chen Lu and others, and he talked about the hardships and helplessness of life.
In her miserable childhood, her mother gave her a grateful heart.
Jess Zhang is from Xiaowangzhuang, a neighboring county. His biological father is an ordinary farmer, his mother is disabled, and his brother is a mental patient who can't cook and work. When her mother was ten years old, she stroked the leaves and accidentally fell off the tree. After treatment, she was disabled, her left hand and feet were severely deformed, her muscles shrank, and she could not sit normally. My father didn't abandon my mother. After returning home, he took good care of her. After marriage, he gave birth to two brothers and sisters, David and Jess Zhang. When David was six years old, he suffered from meningitis. After his illness was cured, he fell into intermittent psychosis again. He can't even cook and work When he was ill, he ran around. Jess Zhang's father died of stomach cancer due to overwork when he was 0/2 years old in Jess Zhang/Kloc. After the death of her father, the responsibility of caring for her disabled mother and brother fell entirely on the shoulders of a girl who was only 12 years old. She had to leave her beloved school, but she had no regrets. /kloc-at the age of 0/4, Jess Zhang's stepfather was introduced into this difficult family. At that time, my stepfather knew how to be a plasterer and traveled all over the country without his parents and wife. In other people's cynical words, he takes care of the family as a host. At that time, when my stepfather built a house for others, he always secretly stored the steamed bread and took it home when he ate it. Every New Year, he goes to the market ten miles away from home to buy some clothes for his children. These actions splash waves of happiness in Jess Zhang's heart from time to time. His mother taught him, "You should be good to your father in the future. He is really patient with us." Stepfather's hometown and family once advised her: "Don't be silly, that woman is disabled, the child is mentally ill, and Nizi is a foreigner sooner or later." What do you want? " If you can't climb up, just kick the door! "My stepfather was also very angry when he heard these words:" I would rather drive her back than feed her a woman. They are really in pain. "The love of mother and stepfather influenced her, and she made up her mind never to leave her stepfather, biological mother and brother.
Waiting for a promise to welcome elderly parents to live in her husband's house.
1990, Jess Zhang got married at the age of 20. Jess Zhang, who looks outstanding and works hard, is recognized as a beauty in her family. Because of her family background, she has her own criteria for choosing a spouse, and four acquaintances automatically decline it, although neither her stepfather nor her mother let her think about what is behind it. At the age of 20, Wang Xiangwei, who married the first ten villages, became Qin Jin, on the one hand because Wei Xiang was willing to accept Jess Zhang's terms, and on the other hand because the three Wei Xiang brothers had no daughter-in-law. After the wedding, the stepfather is healthy and can look after his mother and brother. They still live in Xiaowangzhuang. During the busy farming season, the young couple in Jess Zhang will go back to their parents' home to welcome them to plant crops. Although Jess Zhang has lived in an earthen house for more than 20 years, her heart is cheerful and her steps are brisk. The eldest son was born the following year. 1995, her mother's vision was blurred and she was taken to the hospital. Jess Zhang and his wife cut wheat and corn, borrowed some usury, totaling more than RMB 1800, and sent her to the hospital for treatment. On the operating table, my mother may be afraid, or have a history of epilepsy before, foaming at the mouth and twitching constantly, so she didn't have an operation. The doctor told her to go back and come back when she was cured. When his condition was stable, he went for an operation. The doctor said that my mother's eyes have been blind forever. Mother's blindness has become her daughter's eternal heartache. At some point, Jess Zhang burst into tears and ran down from his fingers covering his face. After a pause, she washed her hands and face and continued to talk to the author.
After the mother became blind, Jess Zhang and his wife came to Shiqian Village with their mother, stepfather and Han Ge, lived in their own home first, and later found a spare house in the west of the village. In 2006, Jess Zhang and his wife borrowed a house for them in Huang Yu Temple, southwest of Yuncheng Temple in the north of the village. The Jade Emperor Temple used to have a small room dedicated to several gods. They built a house by the wall on the east side of the Jade Emperor Temple. The foundation is smooth stone, the walls are waste bricks picked up from the north, and asbestos tiles are bought from the market fifteen miles away. It took half a month to build the house. David lives in the west room and two old people live in the east room. From Jess Zhang's home to the temple, there are beaches and mountains stretching for more than two miles; Zhangqian has to go back and forth three or five times a day to cook three meals a day. Jess Zhang said: "Bitter and tired, it's worth it to see your parents around!"
Fourteen, the complainant is difficult to read.
In 2009, Jess Zhang's father-in-law suddenly suffered from cerebrovascular sclerosis, his limbs could not move, and his speech was vague. Wei Xiang, her husband, performed with the troupe, and Jess Zhang was duty-bound as a daughter-in-law. She asked around for a good prescription. Someone told her that stir-fried bran with vinegar can activate blood vessels and needs to be applied five or six times a day. She gets up at four o'clock every day, changes the medicine for her father-in-law, adds a pot to cook, and then eats well. She went to the Jade Emperor Temple to get medicine, deliver water, cook and serve three people for dinner. In the evening, she continued to cook and change medicine for her father-in-law. For more than two months in a row, the nightmare days made her physically and mentally sleepy. Several times, my father-in-law woke up at night and saw her lying in bed dizzy and asleep, crying for his daughter-in-law to be filial. In the summer of 2009, Jess Zhang felt chest tightness, his heart beat too fast and he was weak. She was treated as gastritis. The doctor in the village told her, "Jess Zhang, you are sallow and emaciated, not a stomach trouble. Go to the hospital for a check. " He was diagnosed with coronary heart disease and cholecystitis in the county people's hospital and was hospitalized immediately. After the crisis, Zhang Qian prescribed some medicine to go back for treatment, dragging his thin body, like a tireless gyro, and began to rotate between the two courtyards.
20 10 On the 21st day of the first month of the Spring Festival, Jess Zhang's husband went to Sanmenxia to earn money, and Jess Zhang drove him. When he left, his stepfather was sleeping in bed. Enteritis nephritis was treated urgently for a few days before the condition turned back. Who knows he doesn't know when to stumble down to keep warm. He is wearing a yellow coat that was treated by the government several years ago. The yellow coat accidentally caught fire while heating, burning a big hole in the cotton trousers on the ass. Jess Zhang's brother David didn't know where he was, but he went to the temple and found the fire, and informed Jess Zhang in time. Jess Zhang quickly contacted the hospital. There is no professional burn treatment in the county hospital. He contacted the Municipal People's Hospital, and the hospital paid a hospitalization fee of 20,000 yuan. In order to save money, they prescribe some infusion, oral medicine and topical medicine for burns in the hospital, and infusion at home to relieve inflammation. For two months in a row, the cost of medicine was more than 200 yuan per day.
In a small room, Jess Zhang's stepfather is lying on the bed in the west, and his mother is lying on the bed in the east. Between the two beds is a table, on which sits the merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva. Both old people have silver hair. Jess Zhang's mother is blind. Her left hand is hooked, but she is tough and her ears are sensitive. Stepfather lying sideways to the west, Jess Zhang lifted a corner of the blanket, and his nakedness, especially the inside of his hips and thighs, was bright red with bloody muscles and a small scab. When he lifted it, several flies quickly lay down, and groans of pain kept coming from the moving mouth. This sound seems to be the sound of autumn wind blowing through weeds. Jess Zhang gently lifted her stepfather's body, cooked half a bowl of glucose water and fed her stepfather spoonfuls. She said, "Now with good medicine, it's much better, and the crying of pain has stopped."
While taking medicine, Jess Zhang continued to introduce himself. She said that as long as the heart is full of love, life can always see sunshine.
In 2005, Jess Zhang nursed her in-laws sister in Luoyang and met a Ruzhou girl. The girl is in the same ward with her, serving her cousin. Jess Zhang and the girl's cousin are broad-minded. Later, they cultivated the feeling of being like sisters, and then kept in constant contact. The girl married Wei Xiang's second brother and became Jess Zhang's second sister-in-law. A year later, she gave birth to twins, and Jess Zhang took care of Ersao in the hospital for more than half a month instead of her sick mother-in-law. Jess Zhang's second sister-in-law often feels grateful when she mentions this marriage, which is also the most proud of Jess Zhang's life.
When talking about her husband and children, Jess Zhang's painful face showed tenderness. "I thank Wei Xiang, who accepted my harsh conditions and accepted my stepfather, biological mother and silly brother. My younger brother can't work, and my parents are getting old. He accepted all these burdens. Although he is illiterate and straightforward, he is kind-hearted. I was sick and he was always around; After his stepfather was burned, he ran around to borrow money to treat the disease, and spent more than 8000 yuan before and after. Stepfather's condition improved slightly, and he was busy going out to perform to earn money. The performance is also very hard. Sometimes there are a dozen or twenty shows in January, and sometimes there are three or five shows in January. A performance from 50 yuan to 80 yuan, no other income. It is really difficult for him. " Jess Zhang said apologetically.
Jess Zhang's son goes to school in County No.1 Middle School, but he doesn't take the students. The annual tuition and living expenses are not less than 8000 yuan. My son is very sensible and works hard. In order to get into a good school, he began to sacrifice his weekend time to learn his favorite national dance two years ago. Although the monthly training costs a lot, 500 yuan, but the child's hard work and lack of education make her have to make a determined effort to save money and provide for her son's old age. Not long ago, my son took the professional examination of Hebei Communication College, obtained the certificate of 20 10 art examination, and was allowed to apply for the art and dance choreography major of the college. It is said that last year, the admission score of cultural courses in this hospital was more than 300 points. At present, my son's liberal arts score is more than 420 points. If the college entrance examination can maintain this score, it will certainly realize the dream of mother and child. She said: "I sincerely thank the leaders of County No.1 Middle School". In 2009, Jess Zhang suddenly suffered from coronary heart disease, and the school leaders heard the news and sent it to 1.500 yuan; Not long ago, my son went to Hebei Communication College for an exam, and the school gave him 1000 yuan so that his son could take the exam in time.
In Jess Zhang's talk, he was full of gratitude to the Party, policies and good people. Jess Zhang's stepfather and mother didn't get married. In the legal sense, Jess Zhang could completely give up supporting her stepfather, but Jess Zhang didn't. Stepfather is over 80 years old this year. He comes from Fancun, Y town. In the early years, the town made him a "five-guarantee household". Jess Zhang didn't put forward any requirements to Fancun Village Committee for taking care of the food and daily life of the "five guarantees elderly". The mother who is blind and physically disabled is 75 years old, and the silly brother who is sick from time to time is 44 years old. The town provided them with a living allowance. My father-in-law is 73 years old and enjoys the minimum living allowance. "Although the money is not too much, it can also solve the urgent need. In recent years, the town has been in charge of the Spring Festival every year. I really appreciate the government's concern. " "There is also a corn seed subsidy this year, and I also received a coupon." Jess Zhang stressed.
Is there any kind person to help? Cheng Yuefeng asked with concern. Jess Zhang's narrative aroused Chen Lu's sympathy, and tears overflowed in her eyes from time to time, which made Cheng Yuefeng feel sour.
Yes, there are many good people. Jess Zhang said that Ye Shitou and his wife of our county tobacco company often come to send money and things.
There is also a line inspector, I don't know his last name. He comes here twice a month, and every time he comes, he brings some gifts and this burn cure. Jess Zhang's mother moved her shriveled mouth and handed me a tube of ointment.
Chen Lu, take a look. This is MEBO for treating burns.
There are also Baocun cadres and women's Federation cadres in L town, each of whom has saved 100 yuan. Remember, son! Remember that people are good to us! The old lady muttered to herself.
No way, but also trouble the leaders of Y town. Now I'm in debt of 10 thousand, and there are still several patients and students at home Nobody wants to be bald without hair. Several women mowing grass at the edge of the field gathered around, vying for the past and praising Jess Zhang.
Thanks to the big sisters and aunts, they are pilgrims here and also come to take care of mom and dad. A few days ago, they helped me cut more than 3 acres of rapeseed. Jess Zhang said.
This is a little token of our appreciation. Cheng Yuefeng took out 100 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Jess Zhang. Chen Lu flipped through the small handbags and took out 20 yuan money. He felt very embarrassed. He doesn't intend to donate, so he can't borrow 100 yuan from Cheng Yuefeng. Director of Y Town Letters and Calls Office and Xiao Ning each donated 50 yuan. Jess Zhang apologized for taking it twice.
"Write Jess Zhang. The child has a hard life and a kind heart. This filial piety is rare in the world. " When getting on the bus, a group of women waved goodbye and their eyes were full of expectation. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun made people a little dizzy.
15. Assistance? help
Under the coordination of letters and visits offices in Y town and L town, Jess Zhang's stepfather was reimbursed more than 2,000 yuan for his serious illness.
Cheng Yuefeng and Chen Lu are not idle. They give full play to the propaganda power of public opinion and want to do something for this difficult family. First of all, Cheng Yuefeng wrote a propaganda article in the county newspaper, and at the same time, he used his personal resources to coordinate donations to a farmer's professional cooperative in the town. At that time, the cooperative was striving for provincial farmers' professional cooperatives, and it needed a pen from Cheng Yuefeng to promote it. When Yuefeng told the story of the Zhang Qian family, the chairman of the cooperative immediately made a decision and decided to donate 1 000 yuan. After the county news was released, Chen Lu called on the government to donate money in Y town, and raised 65,438+0,000 yuan. Cheng Yuefeng then contacted the county TV station and held a donation ceremony. The mayors of Chen Lu and Y Town attended the ceremony on behalf of all employees of Y Town.
Cheng Yuefeng wrote a message about Jess Zhang's deeds with the title "Weak Women Shoulder Two Difficult Families" and passed it to the stationmaster of the rural edition of the provincial daily newspaper who lives in the city. Soon, the rural edition was published in full, with more than 500 words. Cheng Yuefeng hopes that caring people can help this family. Both he and Chen Lu believe that when people gather firewood, the flame is high, and unity is strength. They think that although Jess Zhang is an ordinary person, he supports two stormy families with his own blood and sweat, writes the great love of the world with a persistent heart, and conveys a positive social energy of upward goodness, which is worthy of praise and praise.
After the publication of provincial newspapers and periodicals, the expected purpose was not achieved, and no one came to offer love again. The main leaders of l town feel embarrassed. After all, the birthplace of Jess Zhang's deeds is L Town, and leaders of Y Town can donate money to visit. Of course, L Town can't lag behind, otherwise the image of the government will be poor, which will hinder the political reputation of serving the people. I am also worried that leaders will accuse bureaucracy and work style. Accompanied by Mayor Cheng Yuefeng, team members and middle-level cadres made desperate donations and received more than 800 yuan. An aid operation triggered by letters and visits ended successfully.
In the aid operation, Cheng Yuefeng donated cash from 250 yuan and bought a piece of pure milk, a barrel of Jinlong fish oil and a box of six walnut milk. Chen Lu came twice and donated 150 yuan. Although their salary is not high, only 1400 yuan per person per month, they are moved by the chivalrous spirit of saving people and helping vulnerable groups in the face of morality, which further deepens their understanding.
