She traveled through a hundred years, but at the age of 103, she turned into a naughty child and lived as a girl. This seemingly incredible story makes people wonder: Is it true that the years are not inexorably advancing, but a constantly changing magic? Has the 80-year-old daughter-in-law ever felt exhausted by this old lady who "always retains the heart of a girl"?
Labor filled half of Lou Chengyu's grandmother's life
In 1921, Lou Chengyu was born in an ordinary farming family. According to the Xi of the time, she was soon wrapped in her mother's little feet. Grandma Lou Chengyu still remembers that the entanglement on her little feet made her feel unbearable pain, and she often cried heartbreakingly. However, her mother did not untie her shackles, but just stroked her head in distress and told her to endure it.
When she grew up, Lou Chengyu's grandmother married a young working man in the same village, and gave birth to 4 sons and 2 daughters one after another. was supposed to be a happy family, but when Lou Chengyu's grandmother was in her 30s, she suffered a fate-changing change - her husband died tragically, leaving her alone to support the family.
Widowed with children, Lou Chengyu's grandmother's life is miserable. In order to earn money to support her family, she toiled in the landlord's wheat fields during the day, and came back at night to sew and wash clothes for nearly 20 hours. Over time, Lou Chengyu's grandmother's hands were covered with measles and calluses, and her feet that were forced to be small also came out of countless blood blisters. However, for the sake of the children, Grandma Lou Chengyu never cried bitterness, but just gritted her teeth and persevered.
When Lou Chengyu's grandmother worked in the fields during the day, she often thought of her children. Although the eldest son is only in his teens, he is already working to help the family. The second son and several daughters are still young, and they look forward to their mother's home every day, and then flock to Lou Chengyu's grandmother, pulling the corners of her clothes and coquettish. Thinking of the innocent smiling faces of the children, Grandma Lou Chengyu's heart felt a burst of warmth and gave birth to infinite strength.
In order to earn more money, sometimes Lou Chengyu's grandmother would even work in the field until late at night. In the moonlight, she bent over and worked hard to hoe the grass alone, her face covered with sweat. Xu is too tired, and sometimes Grandma Lou Chengyu will fall asleep on the ground. By the time she woke up, it was already dark. Lou Chengyu's grandmother hurriedly called it a day and went home, worried about whether something would happen to the children. However, when she pushed the door in, she saw the children's sleeping faces. It turned out that Grandma Lou Chengyu, who was sleeping outside, was afraid that she would wake them up when she went home.
In such days, Grandma Lou Chengyu has lived for more than ten years. Thanks to her tireless work, all six of her children have grown up and are in good health. Now, they all have successful careers and happy families, and they are living a good life that Lou Chengyu's grandmother didn't dare to think about back then. In their hearts, their mother's nurturing feelings will always be remembered, so they are extremely filial and considerate to their old mother.
Grandma Lou's childlike innocence was awakened
Today, Lou Chengyu's grandmother is 104 years old. The hard work of the past did not make her age, but made her have a tough and good body. Now she is deaf and refreshed, busy all day long, and often plays with her great-grandson. Her brisk steps and hearty laughter make it impossible to imagine that she is already 100 years old.
The children originally hoped that Grandma Lou Chengyu would be blessed in her old age, so they let her rest at home every day. Unexpectedly, Grandma Lou is very energetic, and she hates a quiet and comfortable retirement life more than anyone else. In order to make Grandma Lou happy, the grandchildren simply took her out to catch up with the market every day. At this time, Grandma Lou always smiled, as if she had returned to her girlhood.
In fact, the reason why Grandma Lou Chengyu maintains such a good mental state is largely because she has a contented heart. As a child, she suffered the bitter torment of a toiling fate; When I grew up, I experienced the hardships and hardships of giving birth to 6 sons. Now, with the love and care of her children, Grandma Lou feels extremely content and satisfied. She grasps every day, strives to tap into the joys of life, and lives a very fulfilling and happy life. It is precisely because of this that her centenarian body exudes such dazzling vitality and vitality.
Grandma Lou is like a playful little girl
And as she grew older, Lou Chengyu's grandmother gradually showed a kind of childishness. She always likes to play with her great-great-grandson, and she has to grab toys with a 3-year-old boy at every turn. Looking at Grandma Lou's playful appearance, she is no different from a naughty little girl.
One day, Grandma Lou saw the dilapidated flatbed truck in the yard, and she was about to "go to the market to catch the market" with her little great-grandson. The daughter-in-law, who was busy in the room, hurriedly chased them out, and persuaded the two to go back to the house. Although Grandma Lou is 100 years old, her adventurous heart is still there.
Not only that, but Grandma Lou also learned the square dance that is popular today. Whenever the music sounded, she would always sway to the rhythm, and her dancing posture was so standard that even her daughter-in-law sighed to herself. Another time, Grandma Lou fell in love with the family's car, and even made a fuss about getting a driver's license, saying that she would take her sons to the market to buy things. Her lively and active heart is like a girl who doesn't grow up.
It is this kind of girl-like innocence that makes Grandma Lou still retain her love and freshness of life at the age of 100. She is curious, explores new things, and enjoys playing with her juniors. This also added countless energies to her longevity.
Grandma Lou is 100 years old, but she still retains her childlike curiosity
For Lou Chengyu's grandmother, her life in her 100s is far from over. Every day, she is like a little girl exploring the unknown world, full of curiosity about the grass and trees around her. Once, when her son brought back a pot of delicate flowers from the city, Grandma Lou was very happy. She sat on the ground, gently caressing the delicate petals and smelling the rich fragrance with her hands, and her face was full of fascination. After a long while, she reluctantly stood up, muttering "I must plant this flower next time".
Another time, Grandma Lou saw an electric car for the first time, and her eyes lit up. She went up and touched it, from the front of the car to the rear of the car, until she was pulled away by her son, and kept looking back. It's like a little girl who goes out to see the world for the first time.
On this day, the son brought back a beautiful music box from the city to Grandma Lou. Grandma Lou was so happy that she kept playing. I don't know how long later, she suddenly said, "I also want to learn how to make this, what is the principle?" The son on the side couldn't help laughing, so he had to explain the structure and working principle of the music box to Grandma Lou in detail, just like coaxing a child.
In fact, in Grandma Lou, everything is fresh and everything is worth exploring. Perhaps it is this curiosity and awe of the world that makes her body and mind gain more lasting youth and vitality than ordinary people.
Grandma Lou is funny and funny
is not only active and curious, but Grandma Lou Chengyu is also very fond of jokes. She always likes to make juniors laugh, and she never gets tired of it. The eighty-year-old daughter-in-law has an old-fashioned personality and always loves to be serious. In order to make her laugh, Grandma Lou would tease her from time to time. Sometimes, when the daughter-in-law was seriously peeling the apple, Grandma Lou would secretly take the peel and stuff it into the pocket of the daughter-in-law's clothes without realizing it. After a while, the daughter-in-law would exclaim in surprise and take out the peel in her pocket, looking inexplicable. At this time, Grandma Lou had already smiled and bent over.
Another time, Grandma Lou picked up the crutches her son bought and wandered around the courtyard like an old lady. She bent down and limped along, muttering to herself about bad legs. When the son saw it, he couldn't help laughing. It turned out that Grandma Lou was mocking her old son in this funny way.
In fact, Grandma Lou's laughing mouth is exactly where the vitality of her hundred-year-old body lies. As they say, a person who can joke about it must live the longest. Grandma Lou has a very low laughing point, and always treats the trivial things in life as a joke. Her laughter and laughter are contagious to everyone around her, making them often buzz too.
Grandma Lou danced smartly, as if returning to her girlhood
When it comes to Grandma Lou Chengyu, there is another surprising thing - that is, her beautiful dancing. Although she is 100 years old, when the music plays, Grandma Lou can still dance, like a light girl. This is all thanks to her love of square dancing.
It is said that a few years ago, there was a trend of group dancing in the village. Grandma Lou Chengyu, who has a lively temperament, naturally wants to join this beautiful activity. At first, everyone saw that she was nearly 100 years old, and they didn't worry about letting her dance. I didn't expect Grandma Lou to dance so standard and dynamic, just like a girl in her 20s!
