The morning sun poured into the room through the cracks in the curtains, and I opened my eyes to the warm light. I got out of bed lightly, for fear of waking up my daughter-in-law, who was still asleep.
After a good night's sleep, I felt refreshed. I quickly freshened up and started my chores. I first packed up the sheets and sheets in the bedroom, then took out the mop and started mopping the floor.
The mop wiped the floor and soon the hall was spotless. I looked at the clean floor and nodded in satisfaction. It's a pleasure to do housework.
Then I went to the kitchen and got ready to start making breakfast. I expertly put the rice into the rice cooker, then cut up the greens, tofu and shredded pork, and began to stir-fry the home-cooked side dishes. The smell of the pot made my index finger flutter.
"Grandma, why are you doing so much again?" There was a sound of shuffling footsteps, and it was the daughter-in-law who got up. She looked a little embarrassed to see that I had cleaned up the house and even made breakfast.
I smiled and said, "Doing some housework activities to move my muscles and bones is very good for my old bones." You can rest at home in peace and don't worry too much. "
The daughter-in-law shook her head helplessly, but she still sat down obediently and ate the fragrant breakfast I made. Hey, what a sensible and good daughter-in-law.
After finishing the housework, I went out for a walk. In the early morning, the air on the streets is exceptionally fresh, and the flowers on the roadside are particularly delicate. I breathed in the fresh air and felt the cells stretching all over my body.
"Grandma, you are so energetic, I really envy you!" A neighbor greeted me warmly. I smiled and said, "Everywhere, it depends on diligent activity." Look at my old bones, if I stay at home all day, I might be rusty. "
When I came back from my walk, I went back home. My daughter-in-law was packing up in the living room, and when she saw me entering the door, she said helplessly: "Grandma, just rest, I'll do this little work." "
I smiled and said, "How can it be as simple as you say? Look at you, you've only been doing it for a while and you're on fire." Besides, I'm idle, so it's better to use my hands and feet and move my muscles and bones. With that, I joined my daughter-in-law and helped her clean up the house.
Seeing that I was so energetic, my daughter-in-law shook her head helplessly, and let me go. Hey, she really feels sorry for my old bones. But I just like to move my hands and feet, and I only get rusty if I don't move.
While we were busy, there was a knock on the door. When I opened the door, my son's family had returned! My son, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren were all there, and I couldn't stop talking.
The youngest grandson is my favorite one the most, and we haven't seen each other for five or six years. As soon as my grandson got out of the car, he threw himself into my arms and called "Grandma Grandma" affectionately. I was so happy that tears came down my eyes, and I kissed him on the face a few times.
"Grandma, why haven't you aged at all? My grandson looked at me carefully and said in surprise. I smiled and replied, "It's all about diligent activity." You see that my old bones can still jump, isn't it thanks to my usual hands and feet?"
My son's family was taken aback by my mental state and asked me about my maintenance tips. I smiled and said, "I'm just going to keep exercising and keep an optimistic and positive attitude." Then you have to keep a happy mood and don't keep thinking about what you don't have. As long as you live in the present moment and cherish the present, your life will be full and happy. "
Everyone nodded their heads again and again, and it seemed that they had a new understanding of my philosophy of life. I watched them laugh and was so gratified. This is the greatest joy of my 100-year-old life.
Just as we were happily reunited, I suddenly felt dizzy, and as soon as it was dark, I lost consciousness. When I opened my eyes again, I was already lying in a hospital bed, my son's family by my side, and worry written all over their faces.
"Grandma, you finally woke up! The doctor said that you had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, but fortunately, you were rescued in time. The son said anxiously. I was shocked to realize that I was in such a serious situation.
The doctor came to check on my condition and said with a serious expression, "Grandma's situation is tricky and she needs to recuperate for a while. And at such an old age, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take care of myself as I used to in the future. "
I listened to the doctor's words, and my heart was mixed. I have been an independent and self-reliant person since I was a child, and I have always taken care of myself. I didn't expect that at this age, I would have to rely on others to live. It's so hard to accept.
My son saw the struggle in my heart and hurriedly said, "Grandma, you can rest assured." In the future, we are here, you can just take care of your spirits. "
I looked at the concerned eyes of my son's family and finally nodded in relief. Yes, I'm so old that I'll have to rely on my children one day. Fortunately, with so many people loving me, my life will definitely be full of sunshine.
After a month of recuperation, I was finally discharged. My son's family specially prepared a comfortable single room for me at home, which has everything I need for my daily life.
At first, I was a little uncomfortable. I'm used to doing things on my own, and now I have to rely on others for everything, and I'm a little uneasy. But seeing my son's family taking care of me so considerately, my heart gradually relieved.
"Grandma, you can rest well, we just have to worry about things at home. "Every time I wanted to get up and do something, my daughter-in-law would rush to stop me.
I said helplessly: "I just can't be idle, lying all day, how boring." "
The daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Then you can move around the house, don't be too reluctant." "
Although it is not easy to move anymore, I am not idle. I started doing some light gymnastics in the house to move my muscles. Sometimes I pick up a book or newspaper and enjoy the joy of knowledge.
The most interesting thing was that I started teaching my two grandchildren to read and write. The two little ones are very talented and quick to learn, and I have a lot of fun teaching them. Especially the younger one, they stick to me and learn from me all the time.
"Grandma, how do you pronounce this word?"
"Grandma, I can't count this question, you teach me. "
"Grandma, tell me another story!"
My two grandchildren come to me every day with all sorts of questions. Sometimes, I will also take the initiative to tell some anecdotes of celebrities in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, to open their eyes. My two grandsons always listened to my lectures with wide eyes open, for fear of missing half a sentence.
Watching them grow step by step, I can't say how happy I am. My old bones can be regarded as doing my last bit for the education of my grandchildren.
The days passed quietly, and I was slowly moving towards the end of my life in this quiet life.
One day, I suddenly said to my son, "I have no regrets about living to this age." You've all grown up and living your own lives, and it's time for me, the old lady, to go. "
When my son's family heard my words, they all burst into tears. They persuaded me not to say such things, but still loved me so much. But I knew my life was coming to an end.
I smiled and comforted them, saying, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, this is a fate that everyone can't escape." I have lived 103 years, decades longer than the average person. You know, how full and happy my life is!"
"I've been a hard-working kid since I was a kid, and I've worked hard all my life when I grew up. Until I got older, I never stopped moving and maintained an optimistic and positive attitude. It is this love of life that keeps me alive. "
"Now, I've done my best to live. Being able to watch you grow up and start a family with my own eyes will make me an old woman have no regrets. Take care of your health, and always have a young heart!"
After listening to my words, although their eyes were full of tears, they also accepted my decision with relief. Yes, there will be death in life, but as long as you live your own wonderful life, it is the greatest respect for life.
In this way, in the arms of my children and grandchildren, I slowly closed my eyes and left this world. Before I died, I had all kinds of scenes from my 100-year life in my mind over and over again. I smiled and left without any regrets.
Although Grandma Zhang Shuxian's life has come to an end, her spirit will always exist in this world. Her hard-working, active, and eternally youthful attitude to life has deeply influenced and inspired each of us.
On the day of the funeral, many people came to see off Grandma. In addition to our family, there are also Grandma's neighbors and friends, and the children she used to teach. Everyone, you and I say a word, recalling the active, optimistic and humorous side of Grandma's life.
"Grandma is a treasure, she is still so energetic at the age of 103, which is really embarrassing for us young people. "
"Yes, Grandma is such an amazing person, she usually uses her hands and feet and maintains a happy attitude, so that she can always be so young. "
"Grandma loves me the most, she has taught me a lot of knowledge and given me a lot of life inspiration, I will always miss her. "
Everyone, every word you say to me, all admire Grandma. Her spirit and personality charm have long been deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.
At this moment, bursts of crying came, and it turned out to be Grandma's favorite little grandson. He hugged the portrait of his grandmother tightly and said with tears streaming down his face: "Grandma, I will always remember everything you have taught me, and I will definitely live my wonderful life like you!"
Looking at the scene of my little grandson, my heart can't help but feel sour. Grandma's spirit has been passed down from generation to generation, and her wisdom in life will be passed on forever.
"Great, my daughter was born!" A young mother was so excited that she hugged her baby tightly and burst into tears.
At this moment, the magic of life is played out again. The birth of a new life marks the eternal continuation of life. This little life will go through the same life course as Grandma, but in another dimension.
The little baby girl wrinkled her little face and babbled, as if announcing her arrival to the world. Her hands clenched tightly into small fists and waved them vigorously, as if expressing her desire for life.
Watching her daughter's every move, the young mother was moved. She secretly vowed in her heart that she must cultivate this little life well, so that she can live her wonderful life like Grandma in the future.
Yes, life is so magical. When one life leaves, another new life comes into the world. This is the eternal cycle of life, there is no end, only continuation.
More than ten years later, the little baby girl has grown up. Her name is Xiaomi, and she is a lively, cute, optimistic and good girl.
One day, Xiaomi's mother said to her: "Mimi, you have to be like Grandma and always keep a young heart." You see, at the age of 103, Grandma is still so energetic, busy all day long. "
Xiaomi blinked her big eyes and listened carefully to her mother tell the story of Grandma Zhang Shuxian. She heard how hard-working and active Grandma was when she was young, and when she grew up, she worked hard all her life, doing housework, walking, and exercising. Until old age, Grandma never stopped being active and maintained an optimistic and positive attitude. It is this love of life that makes her have such a strong vitality.
Xiaomi was deeply moved by Grandma's story. She secretly vowed that she would live a wonderful life like Grandma.
Once, Xiaomi said to her mother: "Mom, I finally understand the wisdom of Grandma's life. Life is too precious, we must cherish it and live our own wonderful life! As Grandma said, as long as we have an eternally young heart, we will never grow old. "
When my mother heard this, she happily hugged Xiaomi, with tears in the corners of her eyes. Yes, Grandma's spirit has been passed down from generation to generation and continues in this world.
