Misfortune

Zhang Xiaojia lives in a 10 square meter house at No.7, row 2, Dongtai District 5, Kongtong District, Pingliang City. There are two small beds, a folding table and a small TV set in the house. Although the family was poor, it was well organized. Cao Xuehong, his mother, sat on the stool in front of the bed, dressed clean and tidy, but could not move her feet. Unfortunately for Zhang Xiaolai, it started on March 21, 1993. At that time, they lived in Inner Mongolia. A sudden car accident killed their father's young life. Looking at his mother paralyzed in bed, Zhang Xiao, only 4 years old, didn't know what had happened. He just cried to his mother for his father. In the face of her family, Cao Xuehong burst into tears. In despair, she had the idea of suicide. That day, she said to Zhang Xiao, "my child, my mother can't take care of you any more. My mother is going to a far place, and then you will go to grandma's house." But Zhang Xiao cried, took his mother's hand and said, "Mom, don't go, I won't let you go!" Mother and son cry bitterly. 4-year-old Zhang Xiao seems to have grown up a lot suddenly. Instead of crying to his mother, he uses his tender body to bear the family burden that his peers can't bear. As he was too young to reach the pot table, Zhang Xiao stepped on a small stool and cooked on it. At the beginning, when he brought the half cooked rice to his mother's bed and fed her spoonful by spoonful, Cao Xuehong's heart felt like a knife cut. due to the lack of relatives in Inner Mongolia, the grandmother's family took the mother and son back to their hometown Pingliang in 1994. After returning to Pingliang, Zhang Xiao's dilemma has not changed. After several months of living in relatives' homes, the mother and son lived in this family and that family for a few days because of their poor family situation. In the case of no choice, they rent a temporary melon house in a farm orchard in Murakami. The monthly rent is 5 yuan. At that time, for the mother and son, to eat a steamed bread was undoubtedly to live a paradise like life. Who knows, one disaster after another. On the fifth day of the eighth lunar month in 1995, a torrential rain fell from the sky. The melon house where their mother and son lived was washed down by the heavy rain, and half of Zhang Xiao's body was buried in the soil. Cao Xuehong was so scared that he tried his best to dig open the soil on his son and called for help to the villagers. In her call for help, the landlord's family and the villagers all came to help and rescued Zhang Xiao from coma. Since then, the melon house has collapsed, and the mother and son are going to live on the street again. At this time, a kind-hearted aunt in Baofeng village, Liuhu Town, Kongtong District saw that they were really poor, so she lent them a small earthen house to watch the vegetable garden. Although there was only one earthen Kang in the house, the poor mother and son finally had a place to live.

unremitting self-improvement

Cao Xuehong said that when Zhang Xiao was old enough to go to school, she had no money for her son to go to school. But when she often found that Zhang Xiao was sitting in front of the door with a lot of worries, looking at the silence of primary school students carrying schoolbags, her heart was broken. The night before primary school registration, Cao Xuehong told his son in tears that his mother would let you go to school even if she sold iron. In order to borrow money, Cao Xuehong dragged his disabled legs to climb into this family to collect tuition for his son. In September 1997, Zhang Xiao finally went to school. He took care of his mother while studying. In the school, Zhang Xiao's academic performance has been among the best, every year is the class's three good students. In May 1998, for six consecutive months, their electricity was cut off because they had no money to pay the electricity bill. In order to finish the homework assigned by the teacher, Zhang Xiao lit a sunflower stalk to do his homework after he was busy with the housework, which lasted for more than a month. At that time, a classmate in Zhang Xiao's class used to play with Zhang Xiao. He was very surprised that Zhang Xiao's family ate wild vegetables every day and never ate steamed bread. He was especially surprised to see Zhang Xiao writing with sunflower stalks. When he told Mao Hongxia, the teacher in charge of the class, about the situation, he went to Zhang Xiao's home to pay a home visit. Facing this impoverished family, Mao mobilized the whole class to donate 30 yuan to Zhang Xiao and paid off the electricity bill owed by Zhang Xiao's family. At this time, many students know about Zhang Xiao's family. Every Saturday, the students in the class spontaneously help Zhang Xiao to pick up firewood, wild vegetables and water on the beach. Some students also bring steamed bread from home for Zhang Xiao and his mother to eat. Referring to those kind-hearted people who helped him, Zhang Xiao said, "I will repay my benefactor after graduation."

Xiaogan moves the sky

Since going to school, Zhang Xiao has to get up at 5 o'clock every day to dress and relieve his mother, and then wash her face and comb her hair. After all this, Zhang Xiao went to boil the water and put it in a big cup where his mother could get it. Then, Zhang Xiao made breakfast for his mother. After watching his mother finish eating, he packed up the dishes and chopsticks and then went to school with his schoolbag on his back. As soon as school was over at noon, Zhang Xiao ran home to help his mother with cooking and housework. In the evening, after dinner, Zhang Xiao had to wash his mother's feet and brush his body. He was busy until 12 pm before he could rest. Year after year, day after day, Zhang Xiao held up a clear sky for his mother. He never complains and bears the burden of life silently. One day in May, Zhang Xiao borrowed a tricycle to collect firewood at Jinghe beach in Baofeng middle school. On the way back, the tricycle overturned on the ground, and Zhang Xiao's left leg was stabbed with firewood. He limped home, afraid that his mother would see him, wrapped his wound with a cloth and sat at the door of his home secretly weeping. It was not until the third day that Cao Xuehong knew the truth. Seeing his son's wound festering more and more seriously, Cao Xuehong was full of tears and didn't know what to do. After knowing the situation, the well meaning people of the neighbors and neighborhood committee sent Zhang Xiao to the nearby Pingliang military hospital for treatment. When Liu Chunhao, then political commissar of the military hospital, learned about Zhang Xiao's situation, he operated on Zhang Xiao for free. Less than a month after the operation, political commissar Liu Chunhao and his wife came to Baofeng middle school with many books, clothes, rice, clear oil and other daily necessities to visit Zhang Xiao. From necessities to cash, political commissar Liu Chunhao has been supporting and caring for Zhang Xiao's mother and son for five years
