Lao Bai is a member of the family planning office in the village.
In the past, Lao Bai had taken me to the office where they had worked before the relocation. A separate courtyard, next to the wall of the township government compound, was now abandoned. That day, he pointed to a small room in the middle and said, “This is the operating room at that time, when most of the birth control, ligation and labor induction were done here in the countryside.”
Old White said that his wife told him at that time, do such a job, hard to avoid injury, also hope that he can be appropriate “relax”. So, despite the environment, but the old white in the jurisdiction of the area, and eventually there are a lot of children survived.

Cao Ji is the township police station of the household police. At that time township police station plus him, a total of three people, there is a director of a deputy director. In the following ten years, the leadership of the institute has changed several times, but he has always been a police.
After 1991, the state strictly focused on family planning, social maintenance fees came into being. In laobai township, the price of extra birth fee is 10,000 for a second child and 30,000 for a third child, which has also become the main source of revenue in the township. After paying all the extra expenses, the parents of the extra children can follow the certificate issued by the family planning office and go to the local police station to handle the formalities of entering the home. In this way, Lao Bai and Cao Ji gradually became acquainted.
In 1993, Cao Ji and his wife gave birth to their first child, who was a boy. The family was so happy that the incense was renewed. For this reason, the uncle, who was the deputy secretary, even gave the child of Cao Ji a big red envelope of 5,000 yuan.
Cao Ji did not plan to have another. But after two years, the wife accidentally pregnant again.
This worries cao Ji badly, because at that time in the policy of the township government, the cadre extra children is to cancel the public service, in the 1990s, who would give up that iron rice bowl?
There is no way cao Ji, want to call his daughter-in-law to abort the child, by the way also do birth control. But Cao Ji’s mother did not agree, according to his mother, since pregnant, that is god to his family, so to abort the child, not only to harm life, or against the meaning of god.
Cao Ji had nothing to do with his mother’s insistence. He could only hide his daughter-in-law at home. When the time came, he would go to his uncle to find a way to save the child.
But after half a year, it was impossible to hide it.
twice a year to carry out the family planning inspection as scheduled, Lao Bai with two other temporary borrowed cadres came to the cao Ji village, at this time the belly of the Cao Ji daughter-in-law has been very obvious, so, cao Ji can only in the old white to his house, the wife hid in the back mountains, pretending that his wife went out to work.
Old white heart natural doubt, but due to the presence of other personnel, also did not say.
The inspection ended in a hurry. Before daybreak, Cao Ji took his wife on a train to Guangdong, placed her with his cousin, and returned from Guangzhou after everything was arranged.
Cao Ji found his uncle and told him everything in detail. As soon as his uncle heard this, he patted the table and asked Cao Ji to call his wife back from Guangzhou, “It’s time to induce labor. It’s time to induce labor. But the Chicken said, “If you don’t want to help me, don’t do it. Anyway, my mother told me that she is going to be born. Don’t be afraid that I will trouble you.
Seeing That Cao Ji was so stubborn, Cao Ji gave him a good propagandize about the family planning policy. “As a Party cadre, you should take the lead in implementing the party’s policy. Anyway, you cannot be born.
But before Secretary Cao could say anything, the chicken slammed the door and went out.
Seeing the uncle that does deputy secretary also can’t help what help, Cao Ji in the mind is more depressed. He knew that after the wife gave birth to come back, pay a fine is really can go up the door, but he this policeman also really don’t want to be. His salary at that time was only 240 yuan a month, and father and mother are farmers, where to get that ten thousand fine ah.
Before the Spring Festival that year, his wife came back from Guangdong with a big fat boy and his cousin’s family.
As soon as his wife got home, he hurriedly hid the mother and son and called Lao Bai to vent his bitterness to him. Lao Bai teased him, “Director Cao, you are really a great man. You didn’t let me know until you were born.” Cao Ji has no idea and old white joke, only constantly asked the old white to give him advice.
Lao Bai tells Cao Ji two schemes, it is to conceal, begin to save money next, anyway when the time comes, the person that family planning does tells, check when, also turn a blind eye to close an eye calculate, wait until want to read when, go to hand in a fine again go up, 5 years still cannot save rise ten thousand? The second is to ask Secretary Cao for help, whether it is fines or work, I should be able to figure out a way.
Cao Ji chose the latter, so he went to find his uncle, again was kicked out of the house.
A week later, his mother gave him 10,000 yuan, said the family so many years of savings, let him hurry to pay the money on the account. Of course, the money came from Secretary Cao. After all, the whole family is still one.
Later, Cao also entrusted the secretary of the township Party Committee to write a letter to the organization Department, saying that Cao Ji, who is serious and responsible in his work, is active and progressive. Although he violates the rules because of the extra children, he admits his mistakes on his own initiative and has been doing a good job, so he is recommended to keep his position. In this way, Cao’s iron rice bowl was also preserved.

In those days, villages and villages launched monthly joint checks to see if any women were pregnant, if any women who had given birth had had birth control and if any men had been neutered. The village regards this as the priority work, each inspection will carry out the task target to each village. Fines collected through inspections will also be given to the village as work expenses. Therefore, the village cadres are particularly concerned about this matter. General encounter plan outside pregnant, in addition to have relations with their own, generally will faithfully report.
Jiu ‘er’s daughter-in-law is in the village in a check, was found to be pregnant. Jiu ‘er and his wife had had a child before. It was a girl and she had been thinking about having another child.
the second day after being found out, the family planning office sent the old white and other three people, to the village to bring jiu er’s daughter-in-law back to induce labor, but a nine home, but a person can not see, so a pedestrian immediately called the village secretary, ask jiu er’s situation.
Village secretary said quickly, impossible ah, this morning he also saw nine up the hill, how can run?
Old white they listen to, contact immediately in the countryside, add send hand to come over search mountain. Jiu ‘er and his wife spent a day and a night in the mountains, dealing with people in the countryside. Finally, they gave up their strength and were found in a cave. Family planning office of the people did not say, will be forced to take away nine daughter-in-law.
“I encouraged myself at that time and resolutely carried out the Party’s policy. But sometimes I’m conflicted from a moral point of view.” “I encouraged myself at that time and resolutely carried out the Party’s policy. But sometimes I’m conflicted from a moral point of view.”
Because pregnant woman ran on the hill one day one night, the body is really too empty, the doctor of family planning office also dare not begin, hence the proposal closes first a few days, wait for the body to keep well, again the baby in the belly comes.
Nine daughter-in-law was locked in a dark room in the family planning office courtyard, just after a day, was nine son with tools, cut the window of the iron railing to save out, nothing clean, directly to the other side.
Wait for old white they go to work the next day, see darkroom leave a broken window. Can’t help, the person ran, just ran.
The director of the family planning office immediately took someone and asked everyone in the village, but no one knew where Jiu ‘er had gone. Of course, the villagers wouldn’t tell them if they knew. If a tip-off would cost a person a child, heaven wouldn’t let him off, let alone scuttle nine.
I have no choice but to shelve the matter for the time being.
A month later, because the task has not been completed, the county and organized the joint inspection of each township, for the women who are not at home, need to issue the certificate of the local hospital, otherwise all according to the plan of pregnancy. This includes, of course, nine daughters-in-law.
But let old white they can not think of is, after checking half a month, they really received nine children to open out of the certificate, the address is in A hospital in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu.
With the certificate in hand, the director quickly applied to the higher authorities and asked the local family planning staff in Jiangsu to help control their extra children and wait for them to take them over.
But the news from Jiangsu was a complete disappointment. The hospital said, this thing is someone else to open, jiu er and his daughter-in-law, never come to the hospital.
Two years later, Jiu Er took a chubby boy to the Family planning Office on his own initiative to pay the fine. He took Lao Bai’s hand and said, “You don’t know. At that time, It took me two hours to grind the iron railing.
Old white ha ha a smile, then ask again, “you these two years is hide where go, how all can’t find?” Jiu ‘er threw old Bai a package of Lotus King, slightly proud to say, “In fact, we are in the city, not far away. I have no money and I can’t run far, so I do some business in the city. When a wife gives birth to a son, she is afraid to go to the hospital.
“Fortunately, the business is doing well and making some money.” Nine son said.

Lao Bai has a dry daughter, called Abe. I have seen her once in Lao Bai’s home. She is twenty-two years old, tall and white, a standard Hunan beauty.
Abbe’s biological parents had given birth to a daughter before they conceived her, but the old man wanted to have another boy, so he became pregnant with Abbe. When she was pregnant, she also ran around and hid in a cave nearby, which finally enabled her to spend ten months safely.
Seeing that the baby was about to be born, I dared not go to the hospital without a birth certificate. Of course, few people in the countryside were willing to pay such a high fee to go to the hospital to give birth to a child. It’s usually about finding a midwife nearby, helping the baby to be born, and then giving the midwife a red envelope.
Abbe’s biological parents are no exception, to find the village midwife, but after working for a few hours, the midwife rushed out and said, people can not, difficult labor, but also bleeding.
Abbe’s father was scared silly, with the help of relatives have a look at this situation, decided to send a hospital, abbe father at first is not very willing to, always wondering, how much money can take out, calculate to calculate, always feel is not very enough, but relatives nasty, swearing abbe father, human life, thinking that the money is not money, then put forward a people gather together, go to the hospital to say again first.
To the hospital, the hospital is also difficult, this family did not do birth certificate ah, obviously belong to exceed, according to theory, the health center in the countryside can not do this illegal thing, otherwise how to report ah.
So a deputy dean was sent to explain the situation to the family and ask them to try another place. But human life, vice president is also difficult, call the family planning office to see how they deal with.
at that time the old white colleagues are under the village to catch the object, leaving the old white a person on duty, the old white received a phone call, riding a motorcycle to the hospital, Abe’s father saw the old white, rushed up, begged the old white hand mercy. And to ensure that after the birth of the child, is to smash the pot selling iron will also pay the excess fees.
The old white say to the vice president, “you don’t care what it super not super birth, hurriedly save a man.” The vice president took old White aside with a face of embarrassment. “Director White, you have to talk to our dean about this matter.”
Old white rush to dean’s office again, dean see old white, also nothing good facial expression. Just tell old white, this matter, old white said don’t calculate, got the director of family planning to say just count, otherwise when the time comes to pursue, nobody will carry this pot.
After the old white listen to, a slap on the dean’s desk, “You still have no conscience ah, people are still bleeding outside your hospital at this moment, you just can’t save? Just do the operation. I won’t blame you if anything happens. I’ll take care of it myself.”
The director reluctantly should come down, the health center rushed to organize manual delivery, about two hours later, the pregnant woman smoothly gave birth to a girl, is Abbe.
Seeing that it was a girl, the family was not allowed to ask for it. For one thing, “there are more girls in the family, but they are not of much use”, and for another, the daughter of the extra birth has to pay a fine of 10,000 yuan, so it is better to give it to others.
This kind of gift of daughters was also common in the countryside at that time. The daughters born in the family were given to the childless family to avoid the fines of extra births.
Just the village of old white home, there is a brother that grows with old white as a child, married 5 years, the belly of daughter-in-law has not moved, after checking just know, daughter-in-law cannot be pregnant. So the old white gave both sides to do an introduction, the man gave his daughter to the old white brother, the old white brother’s daughter-in-law don’t mention much happy, has been chanting in his mouth, “old white, really thank you so much, this girl later recognized as a step-father (step-father meaning).
In this way, old white and more a dry daughter, foster parents got a girl, just like picked up a treasure, just named Abe.
Old white and that family say good, other people ask, say that the girl was born a few days died, so the fine also need not pay.
Because of this matter, the old white also back a punishment. Because when he was treated in the hospital, he not only failed to report according to the rules, but also confiscated the excess birth fee.
The end of the
When interviewing old White, I asked him, you at that time in the mind, have you ever really doubted this policy?
‘To tell the truth, Out of my trust in the country, I didn’t doubt this policy,’ Mr. Bai said. ‘I encouraged myself at that time and resolutely carried out the Party’s policy.’ But from a moral point of view, I don’t want to see a child that I’ve worked so hard to conceive being aborted, so Sometimes I’m conflicted.
Later When I go, just met old White’s dry daughter Xiaobei came to see him, the little girl was admitted to university the year before last, every time she came back to talk with her father about all kinds of fun in the school, she also told old White, there are a few boys in the school after her, I can see that old White is also very proud of his dry daughter.
Old white said to me, at least in his hand, did not “lead” a person, which is he has been glad now.
