Love in Aya Village

wedge

There is a kind of people, they are men, but they can have children.

There is such a man in the remote and backward village of Amao.

Abai Village is really poor and closed.From there to the nearest town, it takes eight hours on foot, over two hills.If you want to go to the county seat, you have to take a two-hour bus ride after arriving in Fulian Town.Therefore, the villagers of Ahmao Village did not easily step out of the village gate.It's not that I can't afford time, or I'm afraid of the bumps in the road.But the toll is too expensive. A ticket costs 80 yuan to the county seat, and another 60 yuan to travel from the county seat to the city. 140 yuan may not be enough to buy a pair of decent shoes in the eyes of urbanites, but that is the living expenses of an ordinary farmer in Abai Village for a month!

As a result of poverty and isolation, local girls are reluctant to marry men in their village.Isn’t that right, when a daughter-in-law is married in Amao Village, the bride price is only 3000 yuan, and if she is married to a village other than Lianpan Village, which is not far away, she can get more than [-] yuan.What's more, the outside world is so much more exciting than this backcountry!

But the people of Aya can't just cut off the incense, can they?So through this generation after generation, some boys in Ahmao Village have the physique to give birth to children.Look at their belly buttons at birth to know which boys can have dolls and which ones can't.There is a circle of palace patterns around the navel, that's it.However, it is always against the laws of nature for a man to give birth to a baby: a man's pelvis is too narrow to give birth smoothly. Pain, the pelvis will be deformed and misplaced, and the rest of my life will basically be a cripple who can only lie on the bed; moreover, the abnormally grown uterus has a large artery directly connected to the heart. It may be that the pregnant husband died of blood.

Therefore, unless they are really poor and have no other choice, no one would want their children to be other people's younger brothers.What's more, the bride price of a younger brother is only half of that of a girl - 2000 yuan is already the highest price for the most handsome younger brother in this village.

In Ahmai Village, only those who are too poor to marry a daughter-in-law will buy a younger brother to carry on the family line.If there is no other way, who wants to serve a disabled person who can only lie in bed for decades, or hold a funeral while having a precious son?

Therefore, people who become other people's younger brothers often have only two fates: one is to die on the delivery bed while giving birth; In the end, it was wrapped in a straw mat and buried in the loess.Only those younger brothers who are lucky enough to meet real husbands can receive careful care after giving birth and avoid the above two miserable fates.However, this is really a very small number, a very small number!In Ahmai Village, there is only one man who bought a younger brother and never left him.

His name is Wu Jiu, he is an honest farmer, his annual income from farming is less than 2000 yuan, and there is a blind old lady at home. At the age of 30, he also failed to save enough money to marry a wife.At the urging of my mother, I had to scrape together 500 yuan to marry the skinny and malnourished Wang Liansheng.A year later, Wang Liansheng gave birth to him a fat boy, but he was also disabled.Just when everyone thought that Wu Jiu would send Wang Liansheng to a "retirement home" (a dilapidated earth temple at the end of the village) to let him fend for himself, Wu Jiu unexpectedly sold the only two mud houses and took Wang Liansheng with him. His blind mother, carrying his paralyzed younger brother on her back and holding the infant in her arms, resolutely went to the county seat.It was said that he was going to the city to find a big hospital to cure Wang Liansheng.

Wu Jiu is so stupid, everyone in the village says so, he can't support himself, and he wants to go to the hospital to cure a disabled person? !It is said that he moved bricks for others in the county town for 12 hours a day, and the money he earned was not enough for Wang Liansheng to take a medicine.Isn't this just asking for trouble!If he sent his younger brother to a "retirement home" like others did, why would he have to work hard outside and sell his ancestral house?Stupid not stupid!

Of course, many people envy Wang Liansheng to death.Those who have been or are going to be other people's younger brothers think that if their husbands can treat themselves like this regardless of everything, then they will have no complaints or regrets in this life.

However, how many Wu Jius can there be in this world...
