What's your first reaction to a man's Cross Stitch? This man is a bit of a mother, but for Li Mingxiao, it's his financial source! Li Ming's family is one of the 10 families living in a courtyard in shilameng village, Huimin District, Hohhot city. In a room of 15 square meters, a little fat man is sitting at the head of the bed, holding an embroidery needle, carefully embroidering it. On the walls, bedside and cabinets, there are many cross stitches, big and small, which become a beautiful scenery in the home.
Happiness in disaster
Li Ming, 43, is from Chayou Middle Banner, Ulanchab city. In 2000, Li Ming came to Hohhot with his wife and two children to raise a car for a living. Although not very rich and noble, but it's not bad.
One day in 2005, on the way to help a friend deliver goods, Li Mingxiao had a car accident, resulting in paralysis of his lower limbs. My friend is afraid of being implicated and running away, so far there is no news. Since then, the high cost of treatment has stretched the family to the limit, and sometimes it has eaten a meal but not a meal. After leaving the hospital, Li Ming couldn't take care of his own life. The whole family was burdened by his wife, Wang Junmei.
'at that time, it would cost 20000 yuan a day to be in hospital. I borrowed money from everywhere. In case he was worried, he said it cost 2000 yuan. 'wife Wang Junmei said that in order to cure her husband's illness, she borrowed all her relatives and friends. So far, more than 200000 yuan of debt has not been paid off.
Once upon a time, he was suddenly bedridden, watching his wife run forward and back, and taking care of the two children. Li Ming was careful, and became more and more grumpy. He has said to his wife many times: 'go, find someone to live a good life. 'in the face of her husband's scolding, Wang Junmei was sad, but she understood that her husband's doing so showed that she was deeply in love with her. Whenever her husband has a bad temper, she simply stands in the yard. It's enough. She goes in again, pours water for her husband, helps him sit up, and continues to live.
In order to maintain her life, Wang Junmei worked as a part-time worker, a waiter and a street sweeper. Now she works as a car washer in a car wash shop. Before doing every job, she has to talk with her boss about a condition: 'less money, but allow me to go home to see my husband halfway'.
Li Mingxiao is moved by his wife's perseverance. His temper is getting smaller and smaller. He doesn't scold his wife anymore. He takes medicine to exercise actively until he has strength in both hands and arms, and finally he can sit up independently.
'although the accident was a disaster, I also felt the kindness and beauty of my wife. I am very happy to have such a wife in my life. 'Li Ming's novels.
Want to sell cross stitch to subsidize household use
There is a gap of about one meter wide and two meters long between the bed and the cabinet. In order to make her husband recover soon, Wang Junmei bought a thick steel pipe from the construction site and put it in the middle to become Li Mingxiao's' fitness device '.
At 5 o'clock every day, Wang Junmei will get up on time, move the stool to the bedside, and use the stool to hold her 150 Jin husband to the fitness machine. When her husband stands firm, she squats on the ground, hands on her husband's knees, and helps him walk, again and again, until she practices for an hour, once in the morning and once in the evening. 'it's good that he can sit now. I'll be ready before I go out in the morning. I don't have to come back at noon. I can work at ease. 'said Wang Junmei.
As the saying goes, the children of the poor are in charge early, and Li Mingxiao's two children are very sensible. In 2012, my daughter was admitted to the Tourism College of Inner Mongolia University of Finance and economics, and with the help of good people, she collected enough tuition fees. She is very good at her studies and gets the National Encouragement scholarship every year. On the third day of junior high school, my son goes home to cook for his father at noon every day.
Li Ming's novel, now the happiest thing is to see his wife and children, the whole family sitting together to eat, chat, simple but very happy.
It's said that cross stitch can sell money. Li Mingxiao began to embroider cross stitch two years ago. He embroidered nearly 15 hours a day from morning to night. Now he has completed more than 10 cross stitch works. 'I want to sell some money to help my family. My wife is too hard to sell alone. If she sells well, she will take out the iron shelf on her waist. "In Li Ming's novel, during the accident operation, his waist was made into a bracket due to a fracture. The doctor said that he would take it again one year later, but because he had no money, he had not taken it out for eight years.
There is no way to sell. At present, Li Ming's small cross stitch has not brought him much income, but he is still embroidering, trying to use his hands to change life, lighten the burden for his wife and earn some pocket money for his children.
