How far the rural elderly are from the "special meal supply"
The 80-year-old is still chopping wood for cooking, reflecting the social problems that are thought-provoking. The elderly around you, how do they solve three meals a day?
Of the six seniors I regularly come into contact with, five of them live alone and are between the ages of 70-85.
Their breakfast is extremely simple, often a steamed bun or leftovers from the day before. Specialized in making breakfast, not one.
It is still difficult to make a meal in the countryside, the neighbor Grandma Li is an old man living alone, living alone for ten years, the old man is 78 years old this year, the spirit is strong, let's see how Grandma Li solves three meals a day.
Get up early to eat buns. Because there is no heating in the countryside, the fire in Grandma Li's house is not extinguished all year round, using coal bought nearby. At 5:30 a.m., the early old man took out two frozen buns from the next cold room and placed them on an enamel plate with a small pot lid. Then wash up and tidy up the housework until seven o'clock.
When the bun is hot, brew a pot of tea and end it less than ten minutes early. Then feed the chickens to sweep the yard, sweep the road in front of the door, and when they meet people, they will say two sentences, and when there is no one, they will sit in the sun and meditate.
At eleven o'clock and noodles, preparing lunch, a small bowl of flour soon became hand-rolled noodles, two meals at a time, and the afternoon noodles were made together. A potato and scallion stir-fry, a bowl of noodles is lunch, in the afternoon most of the time it is soup noodles, solved around five o'clock.
This is the case of winter, summer can be simpler. Meat is eaten throughout the year, and eggs and tofu are used as protein sources at other times.
Grandma Li is about a mile away from the village committee, and as an elderly person, she can easily solve the problem of three meals a day.
Elderly men living alone will be more casual and sloppy in solving the problem of three meals, and their requirements for "special meal supply" are the most urgent.
In the face of the rural elderly who live at home, in fact, there are still many problems that need to be solved in the "special meal supply".
On the one hand, the limitation of distance, on the other hand, the restriction of living habits, there is the most important cost, the profit is low, there is no enterprise to take over, the cost is high, and the elderly cannot afford it. In the "special meal", how much you bear, how much the national and local subsidies are, these are all problems that need to be solved according to local conditions.
