Reporter hits "Alarm Clock Husband" 24 hours a day
I have to get up at the end, my wife needs me
/ Follow up reports /
While taking care of the bedridden wife, while digging in the pond to catch fish.
Time can only be calculated by the hour for the Wuhan Huangpi man Li family. Even if he goes out to work for an hour, he has to bring an alarm clock.
Even though the alarm clock ringing in the middle of the night did not wake up the Li family, he knew that he had to get up at some point, and his wife needed herself.
From 1 p.m. on December 2 to 1 p.m. on December 3, the reporter witnessed Li's day up close.
One day is long, and one day is short.
He has spent every day like this since his wife was seriously ill and was in bed.
Watch the video for half an hour with wife after lunch
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the lunch of his wife Wang Qiaoying was cold after being fed halfway by the Li family. He had to go to the kitchen to heat up and then continue feeding.
When heating, Li's chopsticks constantly stirred the iron bowl in the half pot of boiling water, so as not to lose it to eating.
The lunch was not finished until 2:30 in the afternoon.
After Wang Qiaoying finished lunch, she stared at the Li family unblinkingly.
"Are you full?" asked the Li family.
Wang Qiaoying blinked, meaning "yes", and then cast his gaze at the computer.
The Li family understands that his wife wants to watch videos online again.
The Li family helped his wife into a wheelchair, wrapped her in a large bib, and then pushed her to the computer.
With the "eye control device", Wang Qiaoying can go online, but the speed of inputting text is slower than that of normal people.
As Wang Qiaoying's eyeballs turned, the cursor moved on the computer screen and entered a website she was familiar with. After selecting the video she was interested in, she clicked to play.
Wang Qiaoying is used to surfing the Internet for a while after lunch every day.
When Wang Qiaoying is watching videos, the Li family is by her side.
She knows that her husband's interest in funny videos is "so-so" and staying by her side just wants to make herself happy.
Every day after lunch, the Li family will set aside half an hour to accompany his wife to watch videos.
When he saw his wife laugh, he would laugh with her on the side; when he saw his wife slobber, he would wipe it in time.
"This is not a waste of time. If she is unhappy, I will feel uncomfortable all day." The Li family only had time to go to farm work after the wife fell asleep after watching the video for half an hour.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Li family was digging lotus roots with bare hands.
I got out of the shrimp pond immediately when the bell rang
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, after his wife went to sleep after swiping the video, the Li family quickly put on waterproof clothes, and he wanted to go out to dig lotus root with his father.
Before going out, the Li family habitually took out an alarm clock from the room and put it on the tricycle.
He set the alarm clock to ring one hour later.
On that day, the goal of father and son digging lotus root was 100 jin.
"Now the water temperature is close to the freezing point, (people) can't be soaked in the water for a long time, and (lotus root) sales are limited, and there will be a backlog when it grows."
The most primitive freehand method is adopted for digging lotus root.
The father and son were in the highest waist-deep water, touching with bare hands in the muddy water.
In less than a minute, Li's hands were flushed with cold.
In less than half an hour, the two completed the goal of digging 100 kilograms of lotus root that day.
The dug up lotus roots were quickly sent home, and the Li family and father rushed to the shrimp pond to catch fish without stopping.
The shrimp ponds have been stocked with crayfish fry. If the crucian carp and black fish are not "getted out", the shrimp fry will be eaten. "These two fish will dig in the mud and cannot be caught in the net."
After the father and son placed the cages, they started to catch fish in the knee-deep muddy water separately.
The Li family asked his father to put a water pump in the shrimp pond to pump water in advance. He calculated the time. After digging the lotus root in the afternoon, the water depth of the shrimp pond was just right for catching fish.
"Ting bell..." At 4 pm, the alarm clock on the tricycle next to the shrimp pond rang on time.
Hearing the bell ringing, the father and son immediately withdrew from the shrimp pond and went home.
The Li family arrived home just in time for his wife to wake up.
He took off his waterproof clothes, before he had time to wash the mud on his face, he went into the room for his wife to turn over, and only put on the cotton-padded clothes after he was finished.
The "seamless connection" of digging lotus root, catching fish, and caring for his wife stems from the fact that the Li family also has an alarm clock in his heart. Finish".
At 2 o'clock in the morning, the Li family turned his wife over in the room.
Unconsciously clenching teeth when eating hot dry noodles
At 8 p.m., Li's family fed his wife as usual, and dinner was meat slice soup with 4 freshly fried lotus roots.
Wang Qiaoying ate half of it and motioned to stop first.
It wasn't until 11 o'clock in the evening that Li's family fed the heated rice to his wife with an injecting device.
By the time he went to bed, almost an hour had passed since the new day.
At 2 o'clock in the morning on the 3rd, the alarm clock that sounded on time broke the silence of the night.
"Brother, get up." The little girl Li Hui shouted several times at the door, and the Li family responded, and the light in the room was then turned on.
After turning over for his wife, Li's family fell asleep again almost 3 am.
At 4 in the morning, the alarm clock went off on time again.
Li's mother lives next door to Li's house, and when she heard the bell ringing, she called Li's house several times at the door.
No one in the room responded, but there were lights.
A few minutes later, the Li family hurriedly responded, "I woke up early and is turning over (to his wife)".
At 5 in the morning, the Li family woke up in advance, ready to drive out to send lotus root and fish to the bazaar.
At this time, it happened that his wife woke up too, so he turned her over first.
Forty minutes later, when it was still dark, Li took his parents to the Liaogang Market a few miles away with his tricycle. There were two baskets of lotus roots and a basket of fish for sale.
When the Li family got out of the car, they saw that there was a thin layer of ice on the lampshade of the tricycle.
At the Liaogang Market, after helping his parents organize two stalls, the Li family ordered a bowl of hot dry noodles nearby too early.
When eating hot dry noodles, the Li family with bloodshot eyes clenched their teeth unconsciously.
The younger sister Li Hui knows that if her brother is very tired, he will subconsciously grit his teeth, "This is his habit since he was a child."
At 7 o'clock in the morning, the Li family and their daughter were waiting for the kindergarten school bus at the intersection.
Get up on time without an alarm clock at noon
At 7 o'clock in the morning, the Li family went home from the market alone.
After returning home, the Li family took their 5-year-old daughter to the kindergarten school bus, and then began to prepare breakfast for his wife.
At 9:30 in the morning, the Li family fed breakfast to his wife and prepared to sleep in bed.
Before going to bed, he used two alarm clocks at 10 o'clock in the morning and 11 o'clock in the morning to make sure that he could turn his wife over twice in the morning.
At 12 noon, the Li family got up on time without setting the alarm clock.
He first went to the street to buy medicine for his wife, and then hurried back to cook lunch and feed his wife.
Since his wife became seriously ill, the life of Li's family has been on a "spindle" every day.
The reporter asked: "When my wife is sick, when do you find it the most difficult?" The Li family said: "Take care of his wife throughout the night." He admitted that he was really tired, but when he thought that there might be a miracle the next day, people would have Motivation to persevere.
Since his wife was confined to bed due to frostbite, the Li family, who used to "bring a mobile phone and never watch the time", has become more and more sensitive to time.
He bought seven alarm clocks, and two of them broke out in more than a year.
Even though the bell that rang in the middle of the night did not wake up the Li family, there was a voice deep in his heart that reminded him that he must get up at some point, and his wife needs herself.
For the Li family, time is a concern for his wife.
He forced himself to plan ahead and leave as much time as possible to his wife.
"Others do things in the morning and the afternoon, and I can only arrange things by the hour." If he had to dig 200 catties of lotus root a day, he would split it into several time slots, and finally he could accomplish his goal without delaying himself in taking care of his wife.

She and her husband took on the heavy responsibility of taking care of the children and the elderly.
