The Story of the Northeast Village

In 2000, Boss Zhang had to go out to work to support his family. There were no horses and carts, and there was no cost for farming. If the harvest was not good, he might have to lose money, and he would never recover.In the spring, he made written receipts for all the debts he owed, and transferred them to the next year's interest rate. In this way, he would have to pay back 1 yuan next year.Boss Zhang often dreams at night when he sleeps: He goes out to work and becomes a boss, owns a business with millions of assets, and when he goes in and out of the company, he is also picked up by car, and there are many beautiful women around him for a while, on various occasions He is also full of majesty, and those who had a bit of hatred against him in the past had to respect him three points, and obeyed his orders, especially President Zhao, who made his thugs kneel down and beg for mercy.

Recently, I heard that digging bracken in the mountains is quite profitable. After being introduced by an acquaintance, Mr. Zhang and his wife decided to go together after discussion.But the two girls are both seventeen or eighteen years old, and they don't feel at ease at home, so they entrust them to the old man. This is the only way to live.

The couple packed their bags and went to the mountains full of hope.At that time, everyone was very envious. Seeing that he found a good job, he would definitely earn five or six thousand a year.When leaving, the young daughter-in-law still had something to say: "It is said that it is very good. If it is done well, the whole family will go there."

Mr. Zhang and his wife have been working outside the home for more than two months. They say they have done a good job, so that the family does not have to worry about it.But the good times didn't last long, and one day suddenly bad news came: Zhang Deli was hospitalized and would be back in a few days.After inquiring, I found out that there are many people digging bracken, many from other places, and one of them hooked up with Zhang Deli's young daughter-in-law. Zhang Deli was not willing to wear a cuckold, so he went to the man to comment: "Don't bully us rural people, don't blame me for being rude if you are in a hurry." But the kid was more than ten years younger than him, and he was in good health. The stick was just a beating. Boss Zhang held his head in both hands, but there was nowhere to hide his body. After a flurry of sticking, he was severely injured.They all said that his waist was knocked out, and several ribs were broken. The double torture of spirit and body made him almost die.The person who beat him ran away because he thought it was not good. The boss thought he was pitiful and was afraid of corruption, so he paid for him to see a doctor. After he was hospitalized for a checkup, he found out that he still had hepatitis B. It was even worse, and the hospitalization didn’t last long. Let him go home to recuperate in time, but in fact, people don't care about him.

Within two days, the couple returned home and looked at the dilapidated earthen house at home. The house had not been repaired for two years and was covered with weeds; the cold earthen bed was uneven and smoked when it was lit , it may be blocked somewhere; the empty granary has always been the few bags of grain for many years; looking at their current situation, they suddenly feel that life is hopeless.The couple felt uncomfortable and cried when they thought about it, and the two children cried even harder.Sometimes when the neighbors are sleeping, they can still hear someone crying in their house.Everyone often thinks, Boss Zhang’s life is hard enough, how do you live?In Zhang's opinion, fate seems to have no principles at all. It always makes the poor poorer and the rich richer, sending the poor to hell and the rich to heaven.I am a poor man, I have no ability, and I have no power to change my fate, so I can only let fate arrange it.

No one visited his house during the day, but his father and brothers went in and out, busy.The little daughter-in-law also seemed to have lost her pillar all of a sudden, she couldn't eat, she couldn't sleep, she felt that she had harmed her husband, and her guilt and remorse made her lose a lot of weight.However, no one in the family pursued the cause of this incident, as if no one wanted to know.The young daughter-in-law took the food and fed her husband spoonful by spoonful: "Is today better? I'll make you some meat this afternoon, and it was brought by the third child. You need to recuperate well. Our family still counts on you, can you?" Be sure to hold on!" Tears flowed out as he spoke.The husband watched his daughter-in-law cry so hard that his eyes were red, and he touched her head with his hands in distress. He looked at the dilapidated paper shed on the roof with tears in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. Let it be!

Zhang Deli is really a tough guy, he was able to walk in the field after just over a month, but he couldn't do heavy physical work, and there was nothing to eat at home. Give him some corn, and make rice hawthorn porridge all day long. It takes too much firewood. What should I do if the firewood runs out?Rice-packed porridge is not nutritious, and the body recovers very slowly.

Seeing that autumn is coming, Boss Zhang is in a hurry. He hopes that he will get well soon and earn some money during the autumn harvest. Otherwise, how will he survive the winter?People in the village saw his family as pitiful, but no one wanted to help him.
