The post-90s poor couples gave birth to 9 children in 12 years: after giving birth to ten, they will not give birth, and they have to offer their children to university
After 90s, Wei Guoze and Meng Xiuli's couple gave birth to 9 children on the Internet. These days, strangers have been calling, and some people knocked on the window of his house in the middle of the night to help raise children. Reporters also flocked to this remote mountain village in Duan County, Guangxi.
Han Guo, who is honest and honest, has never experienced such a scene, and is even afraid. There are too many people coming to the Wei family. The village is worried that some people have impure goals. The villagers have been helping Wei Guoze to "screen" visitors for a few days. Unknown people will be blocked at the intersection and only after they have confirmed their formal identity. Into the village.
His wife, Meng Xiuli, who had been pregnant for six months, also took her children to hide in the evening on June 11. In more than three months, the couple will welcome their tenth child.
"Enough is enough." Wei Guo mumbled, waiting for his wife to give birth to the child, and no more.
On the afternoon of June 12, Wei Guo explained to Peng Mei News (www.thepaper.cn) that he was the only child in his family and grew up as a foster parent. The loneliness of his childhood gradually made him want to have more children after having a family. If the child wants to share the wishes with his wife, contraceptives are also used, but they will be born when they are pregnant.
Wei Guoze's family is a deeply impoverished household in the village. The family moved to a 150-square-meter resettlement house in October 2019, and currently enjoys a Class A minimum living allowance of RMB 350 per person per month.
Wei Guo, who read only to the fourth grade of elementary school, has long been working abroad to subsidize his family, but he is full of expectations for the children: "As long as they want to study, they can go to college, and work for them."
"Celebrities" in Shili Baxiang

The Internet has broken the calm of the village in the past. After Wei Guo's video of 9 children in a family was posted online, he quickly became a "celebrity" in Shili Baxiang. Strangers continue to come to the village and ask the villagers about Wei’s residence.
The Wei family is in Deng Tun, Shangzhen Village, Baoan Township, Duan County, central Guangxi, surrounded by mountains.
From the map, it is nearly 40 kilometers away from Du'an County. However, the villagers who live here need to drive on winding mountain roads for more than two hours, with a journey of nearly 100 kilometers.
"A lot of outsiders are driving in cars." A villager in the same village said that for the first time he saw such a lively village.
But for these dozen days, Wei Guo was "stunned." Wei Guoze, born in 1991, gave birth to his first child, Meng Xiuli, in 2008 and 1990, when Wei Guo was only 17 years old and Meng Xiuli was 18 years old.
In the next 12 years, the two gave birth to 8 more children. Now, the wife is six months pregnant and the tenth child is about to be born.
Not long ago, a video of Wei's family was uploaded to the Internet, and Wei Guo, who was wearing a white shirt, gave a little shy introduction to his situation, "9 (children), there is one more in the stomach".
"How do you think of having so many children?" the photographer asked.
"I can't help it." Wei Guo answered with a wry smile, "Come up slowly."
In the mountains, broken wooden houses, groups of children, and poor households, under these tags, this family, which was originally difficult to attract attention, quickly triggered onlookers and discussions on the Internet.

Waves of reporters came to interview, and strangers kept calling. Someone even knocked on the window in the middle of the night, saying that he would help Wei Guo raise his children. This terrified Wei Guo. In his view, someone wanted to "rob" the child, and he and his wife were at a loss.
On the afternoon of June 12, at a construction site in Shangzhen Village, Wei Guo, with short hair and dark skin, had just laid off from work.
Recently, he kept briefing the visiting people on his family, but in the face of the "big trend" of the media reporters and county staff, Wei Guo was still very cautious, rubbing his hands together.
The villagers and co-workers nearby saw that someone came to interview Wei Guoze, and they ran over to watch and took pictures with their mobile phones.
Wei Guo was a little reticent. He kept silent on individual issues and looked down at Shi Zi Road; he only chatted a few more times in Mandarin, mixed with dialects, when he was interested.
Village cadres felt that Wei Guo had lived in the mountains for most of his childhood and had not seen much of the world. "The situation in the past few days has been too great and I am already afraid."
More than a dozen waves of people came to the Wei's house in the village for more than ten days, and most of them came to three waves a day. The village was worried that some people had impure purposes. The villagers had been helping Wei Guo's family to "screen" visitors for those who did not know where to go. You will be blocked at the intersection and you can enter the village only after verifying your formal identity.
Wei Guo said that he didn't know the person who originally shot the video. At that time, someone in the village brought it to say that he was lovingly helping him, and he answered the question according to the person's lens. The other party also took pictures in and out of the old wooden house that had not been demolished, and chatted with him for nearly 40 minutes, but the outgoing video did not mention that his family had a subsistence allowance, and had lived in a new house concentrated by the local government.
"Make up for lack of childhood"
His wife Meng Xiuping is from Yalong Township, Dahua County, a neighboring county. In 2007, when Wei Guo went to work in Dongguan, Guangdong, the two met and fell in love in a place where they worked, and they had their first child a year later.
"The baby I wanted in 2008, the certificate I received in 2017." Wei Guo said, in his opinion, there may be a similar experience of missing a mother's love with his wife after she lost her mother. Both parties can understand each other and are usually very affectionate.
Wei Guo was raised from a family in Dahua County to the Wei family in Shangzhen Village, where he had no fertility. The adoptive parents treated him very well, but because he was a child at home, he sometimes seemed lonely and no one played together. When he was a kid, he didn’t fight with other children. He gradually developed the idea of “how good people are”.
"It is the common meaning of both of us to have so many children." Wei Guo said.
Although contraceptives were also used, she still conceived children continuously; when she became pregnant, Wei Guo and his wife chose to be born.
"Ten children, enough." He murmured with his head down.
The staff in the township said that usually the township also promoted the family planning policy in the village. When Wei Guo went to the township hospital, he also gave him contraceptives, but no one could guarantee that he would not use it.
Among the 9 children in Wei Guoze, there are 3 daughters and 6 sons. The oldest child is 12 years old and is in fourth grade at a nearby primary school in Yalong Township, Dahua County. The youngest child is more than 1 year old, and his wife Meng Xiuping usually takes care of her on her back.
"Wait a minute, I'll show you." Because there are too many family members, Wei's family has two household registration books. When showing family members to outsiders, Wei Guo will pull these two out of the carton under the bed. book.
The previous few children were adopted by nursing mothers, and only went to the health center later. The situation is special in the mountains. Except for delivery, the children grew up eating breast milk and corn paste. They did not buy milk powder for their children. Before the age of 1, their wives were breastfed.
Children usually ask for "biscuits, toys, fruits" and other things. Bao'an Township gathers once every three days. If something is missing, Wei Guo will spend half a day to catch up.
The wives Meng Xiuping and Wei Guo are both Yao people, and they often communicate in Yao at home. Recently I saw many strangers at home, and Meng Xiuping also seemed very helpless. Because Mandarin is not good, local people often have to translate what she said before outsiders can understand it.
Short and thin, she wore a plaid shirt and stood up with a big belly. When the husband was talking with outsiders, she carried the smallest "old nine" on her back and held the walking baby in her left and right hands, playing in the alleyway outside the house. Because her husband often has to go out to work to earn money, most of the tasks of taking care of the children are done by her, and they are almost always surrounded by children.
There are too many children to take care of, surrounded by mountains. Meng Xiuping always stares back and forth or left and right, or she is relieved to hear the sound of children playing in the room. Once he saw a child running away, he immediately caught up and hurriedly "controlled".

When working abroad, Wei Guo could only come back twice a year, once during the middle of the year and once at the end of the year. If he is not at home, his wife will take the child to live in his natal family in Dahua County, so that someone can take care of it.
Working as a handyman at a construction site in Guangdong, Wei Guo earned 200 yuan a day. When the wages were paid, he sent home half of the money. If the family said the money was not enough, he would try to remit the money back.
Wei Guo, who is separated from the two places and does not use a smartphone, usually couples will contact by phone.
"Ask whether you are healthy or not, whether the child is okay." Wei Guo said that although the child does not get sick often, he will come back by bus once he encounters "anxious illness". There is a direct bus from Shenzhen to Duan, which becomes the main channel connecting Wei Guoze's home and construction site.
After the adoptive mother died of illness in April 2019, it caused a big blow to Wei Guo. He reprinted the photo of his adoptive mother's ID card and hung it on the wall. Since then, there have been few migrant workers.
When idle at home, Wei Guo would work as a handyman at a nearby work site where he needed to work. He also earned 200 yuan a day.
"Will be for children to go to university"
Only in the fourth grade of elementary school, his wife has never read a book, Wei Guo pinned his hopes on the children.
"As long as they want to go to college, they can go to college, and they can provide unions for them." When talking about children, Wei Guo, who has been a little talker, seemed a little excited. He said that the current grades of several children in elementary school are good in the class. Although he does not have much education, he knows what it means to achieve good grades.
"I went to Baoan Middle School, then to high school, and won the university." At the age of 11, he dropped out of school and followed his cousin to Qinzhou to cut sugar cane. Wei Guo knew that working hard was hard. He didn't want his children to suffer this crime in the future. I can find a good job after college.
The staff of the local township government said that at present, for the children of special poor families such as Wei Guo, the county policy is that they can finish high school for free. Children’s clothes and stationery are often donated by caring companies, and interest-free loans are also available after college.
In the video that was first seen by the outside world, the background is the dilapidated old wooden house of Wei Guoze’s family. This is where Wei Guo lived since childhood.
The wooden house was built in a relatively gentle place on Dengtun Mountain in the village of Shangzhen Village. It was built with wooden boards and wooden pillars. Because of the long-term exposure to rain wipers, the outer body has been whitened and decaying.
There were some shrubs cut from the mountain around the house, and some corn and vegetables were planted on a small flat ground in front of the house.
Inside the house, through the cracks in the wood, the light can shine into the dark room.
Du'an is an extremely poor county in Guangxi, with less than 0.7 acres of arable land per capita, known as "nine points of stone and one point of soil".
Looking at the aforementioned scenario, many netizens think that Wei's family is poor because of overbirth and still live in a primitive or even primitive environment.
"It is purely a misunderstanding." Guo Jing, who was stationed in the Guangxi Autonomous Region's Development and Reform Commission as the first secretary of Shangzhen Village, has been stationed in the village for two years and is familiar with the situation of the Wei family. He told Peng Mei News that in fact, unlike the netizens' guess, the county built a new house of 150 square meters for the low-income households such as the Wei family two years ago. After the completion of the construction, the family moved to the new home, and the wooden houses were only stored. Agricultural tools, fertilizers, and seeds are usually unpopular.

After the Wei family was concerned, the wooden house was pushed down by the township staff. "The main reason is to prevent him from coming back to live. After all, he is in disrepair and is in danger." said a cadre who helped the village in the village.
On the wall in front of the door of his new home in Wei Guoze, the “Guangxi Accurate Assistance Contact Card for Poverty Alleviation” is set up. This 11-person family will achieve poverty alleviation this year. The main measures for poverty alleviation are “cultivation and subsistence poverty alleviation”.
The 150-square-meter resettlement house of the Wei family was funded by the government and its counterparts. After the completion of the construction in October 2019, the Wei family moved over and resettled together with 17 other poor households.
According to Guo Jing, this year Wei Guo's family was upgraded to a Class A Dibao, and 11 people in Wei Guo's family all received a minimum guarantee of 350 yuan per person per month, nearly 4,000 yuan a month. In addition, their families also enjoy pensions, ecological forest compensation, agricultural subsidies, compulsory education students nutrition meal subsidies, medical insurance subsidies and other seven or eight policies.
In addition to working income and subsistence allowances, Wei Guo's family also fostered 3 cows and 5 sheep in local professional cooperatives. Since 2017, there has been a dividend of nearly 4,000 yuan per year.

"We will definitely continue to pay attention in the future." The staff of the township government said that, like Wei Guo, the family situation is more special, and the birth desires of the villages in the township are relatively strong, but they are generally 3 to 4 children in a family. Before the family planning department staff went to the countryside, they often could not find Wei Guoze's family, and there was no way to do the work.
In response to the question of whether the super-sons concerned about the need to pay social support payments, Peng Mei News learned from the main person in charge of the propaganda department of the local county party committee that the Wei family was in a special situation and could not afford the cost at all. It was a special case and special treatment.
Surging News noted that on the outer wall of Wei Guoze’s new home was hung the banner of “Family planning services to create a foundation for the future, and the population as a whole to build a harmonious family”, and on the door and window side was hung a condom free machine.
