"Mother, these young people come to see Gong, don't sit here, sit in the upper room." In The village of Houcaiyuan in Fulaishan Street, Juxian County, Rizhao City, Shandong Province, in a clean and tidy farm yard, a hundred-year-old grandmother sat at the gate, leisurely looking out, greeting neighbors from time to time. When the old man's son saw our arrival, he called his mother into the house. "Oh, good, good, let's go up to the house and sit down, so it means very poisonous (Juxian dialect: the sun is very hot now), and it is so hot outside (the outdoor temperature is high)." Grandma 100 also politely let us sit in the house.
104-year-old birthday star, Wang Guiying's grandmother
The 100-year-old grandmother, named Wang Guiying, was born in 1918, is 104 years old and now lives with her youngest son, Tian Shimin. We came to visit my centenarian grandmother this time to learn about her longevity secrets and health experience. After learning of our intentions, Tian Shimin told us that her mother does not smoke or drink alcohol, and can now be said to have no special hobbies except for the pearl orchid tea that she drank for a period of time more than a decade ago. In terms of living habits, it is almost the same as our normal people.
The youngest daughter, Tian Shifen, chatted with her hundred-year-old mother
"I didn't enjoy happiness when I was young, how can I live now? It's another year, and how long will it take to live? Wang Guiying, a hundred-year-old grandmother, said that when she was a child, her family was poor and she had no land to plant, so in order to survive, she worked in the landlord's house and served the landlord. Later, I experienced the era of hunger, suffered so much, suffered so much, and did not enjoy happiness, how could I keep living? Grandma has always wondered, the old saying is that when she was young, people who suffered and suffered could not live much, how could they not work when they arrived at her place?
The hundred-year-old grandmother sat in the house, looking at ease
"Her hometown is Xiwangshang Village, Chengyang Subdistrict (Juxian County), and her three uncles are gone now." Tian Shimin introduced that his mother was poor at home since he was a child, and when his uncle was young, he starved to death because there was no food at home. Although the second uncle lived to the age of 93, when he was young, because his family was poor, he played a single stick all his life. The third uncle lived to the age of 96 and finally died of illness. How old Grandma and Grandpa lived, because of the long time, the mother can't remember clearly, can only remember that they lived to more than 80 years old. There was once a fortune teller who calculated the fate of his mother, saying that their families were all living a long life, and that the uncle would have lived a long life if he had not starved to death when he was young.
The hand of a hundred-year-old grandmother
The reason why Wang Guiying, a hundred-year-old grandmother, lived to the age of 104 seems to have genetic genes. You see, all three of her brothers lived to be in their 90s. And her parents also lived to be more than 80 years old, which was a high life expectancy in the era of material scarcity and poor living conditions at that time. The reason why a person can live a long life is that the family genetic group is the first. In a ridiculous phrase, if a person's body is "engined" from birth, coupled with reasonable maintenance and use, then longevity is inevitable.
Centenarian Grandma's little feet
"My mother didn't get married until she was 27 years old, she was 3 years younger than my father, and I didn't have it when I was 60 years old." Tian Shimin said the mother gave birth to five children. The eldest brother is 76 years old, the eldest sister is 74 years old, the second sister is 72 years old, the third sister is 70 years old this year, the youngest of her own, and she is already 67 years old this year. The eldest brother's family now lives in Jinan, it is not convenient to take care of the mother, only during the New Year's festival, you can come back to see, so the mother lives with himself, the daily life is mainly taken care of by him, and the three sisters often come to visit the mother. At present, the 100-year-old grandmother is already in the same house as the fifth generation.
Touch the hands of a life of a hundred years of ups and downs
"The lady eats and lives very well (dialect: very punctual), gets up early in the morning, and sleeps early at night. At night, when the sun sets, she goes to bed to rest, and when the sun comes out in the morning, she gets up. Tian Shimin introduced that her mother slept very well and rarely had insomnia. In addition to sleeping and getting up regularly, it is also very regular in diet, and three meals a day are very punctual. Eating is also very numerous, more than a bite does not eat, is the most delicious meal, she should eat as much as she wants, never too much.
The hundred-year-old grandmother had to go out for a walk, and her son and daughter were on the side
Tian Shimin said that after his mother got up in the morning, she first used boiling water to drink from a bowl of plumeria (called egg tea in some places), and then ate breakfast, and this meal in the morning was very important and ate more. When brewing the frangipani, beat two eggs and then brew two peach crisps, just like drinking morning tea. After a short break, after twenty or thirty minutes, I began to eat breakfast. Breakfast is chicken soup, pork head with pancakes, or flatbread. For lunch and dinner, the recipe is basically the same. In the daily diet, centenarians rarely eat greens and almost do not eat them. This eating habit of hers is very special, which surprises us and is very incomprehensible.
The centenarian grandmother used to sit at the gate and watch the street view
"People say that they should eat more vegetables when eating, and as soon as they eat greens, they will make trouble." Therefore, she has rarely eaten green vegetables. Tian Shimin introduced that according to his own analysis, the reason why his mother's appetite rejected the green vegetables in this way may be that when she was young, she did not eat, did not drink, ate bran throat vegetables, and hurt her stomach. So, now just eating greens will make a fuss. Over the years, my mother has always liked to eat chicken and pork head meat, and the staple food is mainly flatbread with a relatively hard texture (Juxian big cake, hard and hard, and the bite of the bad tooth cannot be moved) and pancakes (the bad teeth cannot be bitten, unless it is eaten with soup).
The centenarian grandmother sat at the gate
"Li Niang has no teeth, and she still loves to eat large cakes and pancakes, and when she eats them, she doesn't need to eat the soup, she breaks a small piece with her hand, puts it in her mouth, and chews it dry with her teeth." Tian Shimin said that according to his analysis, her mother's longevity does not know whether it has anything to do with her way of eating, but most of the elderly like steamed buns, dumplings, buns and other softer foods, but her mother is just the opposite, like to eat harder food.

"This chicken soup, all year round, every day can not be separated, pork head meat is also often eaten." Grandma Wang's son, Tian Shimin, told us that when making chicken soup, he bought ordinary chicken from the market, cleaned it up, and went home to stew it on the stove. When stewing chicken, it is to put water and salt, peppercorns, large ingredients and other spices, ginseng, astragalus, goji berries and other Chinese herbs, do not put anything. The chicken is stewed for a long time, then the chicken bones are removed, and when eating, a bowl of soup with meat is scooped up and eaten as a dish.

Centenarian Grandma Wang, usually also loves to eat fruits, apples, bananas, peaches, grapes, etc. love to eat, but do not like durian and other fashionable, high-end fruits. When eating apples, Grandma did not like to eat cooked ones, and liked to use spoons, spoon by spoon to dig up and eat. Generally the elderly, if there is no tooth, eat apples like to cook to eat, or break the jam to eat, Grandma Wang is different, like to eat hard things, this habit, in the elderly, is indeed rare, but also very characteristic.

"My mother eats more on time (on time), and usually likes to eat snacks, eating some traditional snacks such as peach crisps, biscuits, and steamed buns." Tian Shimin said that in addition to eating these more common foods, his mother occasionally drank some milk, but she did not like to drink it very much. Eating sweets is not a lot, in his opinion, the most willing things for mothers to eat are flatbread and pancakes, as well as chicken and pork head. Although beef, lamb, etc. are also more or less eaten, they do not like to eat too much. Those nutrients, supplements, health care products, mothers never touched, did not like the taste.
The table used by my 100-year-old grandmother is very old
"I have never quarreled with anyone in my life, and I have never scolded back on the street." Tian Shimin told us that the biggest characteristic of her mother is that she has a good personality and a good temper, and she has never had a red face with anyone in her life and has been angry. In his memory, his mother never quarreled with them, let alone had conflicts with neighbors, let alone conflicts, and her personality was too good to believe. In addition to having a good temper and a very kind heart, who has difficulties, she would rather eat less than herself, but also to help others. When she was a child, when she was most hungry, a neighbor once gave her a pancake, and she still remembers it in her heart and has always been grateful to others.
At the door of the hundred-year-old grandmother's house, the fragrance of flowers is fragrant
"When she was in the production team, li Niang was very diligent (industrious), the captain called out (shouted) her to work, she was honest, had no temper, was a good supporter, and others did not move, so they told her to go. So, she's very popular. Tian Shimin said that his mother had worked hard all her life, and even in the most difficult time of life, she never complained and never complained. Needlework is done in her 90s, and neighbors look for her for anything. Even now, he can cook his own meals, sometimes he picks up his grandson to and from school, and his mother cooks the meal at home.
100-year-old grandmother Wang Guiying
"When I was eighty or ninety years old, I had a fainting condition. This must be fifteen or six years, once she got up in the morning to find shoes to wear, fell down from the bed, did not go to the hospital, the clinic doctor came to give five or six days of hanging bottles, she said not to hang needles, and earlier (before) the same, from then on to here, not even a cold. Tian Shimin introduced that her mother has been in good health all her life, never been to the hospital, let alone hospitalized, and rarely takes medicine. If people's health were as good as this hundred-year-old grandmother, the hospitals of those high-rise buildings would now collapse.
The old man's son and daughter chatted with their mother
Tian Shimin also told us that the old man has never gone to the hospital to check his body in his life, and such a physical condition is really rare around. At the beginning of September last year, during the Ninth Chongyang Festival, there was a unit in the county to visit the elderly, and a young daughter-in-law said when she saw that the physical condition of the centenarian grandmother was so good, the old man of such an old age in the countryside was either lying down or sitting, and even some people aged sixty or seventy, seventy or eighty years old were lying on the bed, just like the good body of the grandmother, or the first time to see it.
The centenarian grandmother stood up and said goodbye to us
Originally, we wanted to dig out the longevity secrets and health experience of the hundred-year-old grandmother, to see what she ate, drank, or what secrets of health and health care secrets, did not expect that Grandma Wang's life was so ordinary, and the old man's son did not summarize what special places. Although there are some disappointments, we are still impressed by the grandmother's attitude towards the world, that is, in life, whether she encounters adversity or good times, she is very indifferent, facing life positively from the depths of her heart, not complaining, not complaining, not sad and not happy, not arrogant and impatient, not resentful, not hateful, not fighting. If we can do this in life and work, then our life may be smoother, more complete, and perhaps able to live a long life. Don't know if you can do it?
