As the great mother of the Chinese nation, her love is like a trickle, nourishing the ancient and magical land of Xiping County for 5,000 years. There is an old man in Fengzhuang Village, Dajizhuang, Tandian Township, Xiping County, whose small feet span two centuries, although she is more than 100 years old, but her ears and eyes are clear, and her spirit is strong. She hadn't been to school for a day, but she had a lot of witty words. She is kind-hearted, optimistic and cheerful, and although she has experienced many hardships, she likes to help others, and is quite respected and loved by the villagers. She is the 104-year-old Zhu Sanni this year.
A few days ago, in an alley full of flowers in Fengzhuang Village, the reporter met Zhu Sanni. The old man looked red and smiled.
"Grandma, how old are you?"
"You can be as old as you say!"
The old man's answer was very humorous.
The reporter picked up the old man's ID card and saw that her name was Zhu Sanni, born on May 24, 1921.
A 100-year-old mother and an 80-year-old son are concerned about each other
Zhu Sanni told reporters that she raised 4 daughters and 3 sons, and now she is five generations in the same house. There is a son with intellectual disability, called Fu'er, who now lives in a nursing home in Tandian Township, and is 80 years old this year.
"If there was no nursing home in the township, Fu'er might have died a long time ago." Zhu Sanni told reporters that she pushed a wheelchair to visit Fu'er a few days ago.
Because of the good popularity of the old man, when the people in the village pass by the Tandian Township Nursing Home on the way to the county seat, they will take a look at Fu'er and bring him something to eat by the way. Mother and son are connected, and Fu'er always asks the neighbor to bring some fruit to the elderly. "The fruit was issued by the nursing home, and Fu'er was reluctant to eat it, so he asked everyone to bring it back to his mother. Don't look at the rich child's stupidity, but he always remembers his mother. Ji Fucheng, a village cadre, said emotionally.
Zhu Sanni sent vegetable buns to Fu'er.
A few days ago, the reporter accompanied the old man to the nursing home. 80-year-old Fu'er saw her 104-year-old mother, like a cheerful child, coquettishly touching her mother's face. Seeing Fu'er, the old man smiled happily.
"Now that the country takes care of you, my mother will rest assured, my rich son is blessed!" The old man took Fu'er's hand and told Fu'er to be obedient and not to cause trouble.
Fu'er took out an apple from her pocket and stuffed it to Zhu Sanni.
Approaching dusk, the old man reluctantly said goodbye to his son. At the moment when the car door was about to close, Fu'er took out an apple from his pocket and stuffed it to the old man: "Mother, you eat, give it to you!" ”
The old man's daughter-in-law, Zhao Luan, told reporters that her mother-in-law is very good to the younger generation, and at the age of 96, she can still steam steamed buns, make dumplings, and weave pot lids. Over the years, her family felt sorry for her and didn't let her do it, and she sometimes did it secretly. "The reason why my mother-in-law can live to be 100 years old is not only open-minded, but also because the eldest brother is her concern. My mother-in-law once said to me, 'What should I do if I'm gone?' If you kiss him again, how can you have a mother? Zhao Luan said.
For her long life, the old man seemed very calm, she said lightly: "In the past, the days were hard, my shopkeeper was feeding the cows, and I could only eat half a full meal at each meal, not to mention me, hungry and full, but we have to feed a few children!" I weaved at night, spun cotton, made clothes, and worked in the fields during the day, and I survived day by day. The point is, my rich child hangs in my heart, and I dare not leave. ”
Every stitch is full of love for children and grandchildren
Zhao Luan said: "My mother-in-law has good eyesight, and now she can still thread needles and threads!" ”
"Girl, don't you believe it?" Seeing that the reporter was surprised, the old man "ordered" his daughter-in-law to come over with a needle and thread with his eyes, and she wanted to show the reporter her talents.
Zhu Sanni is sewing clothes.
The old man pinched the needle in his left hand and the thread in his right hand, and in just a few seconds, he skillfully threaded the thread into the eye of the needle. The reporter was impressed by such a speed.
"In those years, I made all the children's clothes in the family. When I was a child, I would stand next to my mother when I cut clothes, and I would watch and watch. When it comes to what he is good at, the old man is quite interested.
The old man is not only ingenious and good at needlework, but also enthusiastic and kind-hearted. The village cadres said that whoever has a happy event, the old people like to help, wholeheartedly and without taking a penny, although they are now over 100 years old, but the craft has not been put down.
During the interview, the 104-year-old man had a straight waist, walked steadily, moved neatly, and kept joking with the people around him, making the people next to him laugh.
Humorous and laughing at life
"My mother has never had a serious illness in her life." The old man's son, Wu Yinchuan, told reporters that the old man was in good physical condition, and although his life was dull, he rarely got sick.
"Yes, only once!" The old man snatched the stubble. When it comes to the past, the old man remembers it vividly. In 1998, the old man was very happy to have a great-grandson, and ate two large bowls of meat-stuffed dumplings in one go. Half an hour after eating, the old man began to have a stomachache and had no strength in his body. The elders in the village said that eating dumplings was an inducement, and that the old man's time might be running out...... But after a while, before he could take the old man to the hospital, the old man was fine.
"You know? Girl, I'm fine with iron, and it's more delicious to drink cold water! Listening to the old lady's humorous words, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"My mother is a strange person, she never drinks hot tea, only cold water." Zhao Luan said.
Different from the centenarians interviewed in the past, the eating habits of the old man in front of him are extraordinary - when eating dumplings, steamed buns, and steamed noodles, he does not drink noodle soup, does not drink hot tea, and only drinks cold water.
The old man said, "Boiling water has no taste, but cold water has a taste." Moreover, drink cold water and do not stuff your teeth. ”
Like many old people in Xiping, the eating habits of the elderly are to eat steamed buns, steamed noodles, scoop noodles, and drink cold water.
When the reporter was interviewed, the old man kept talking and laughing, and every time the reporter asked a question, she could answer it humorously. The reporter asked her what she thought of Gao Shou, and the old man said, "Lord Yama doesn't accept me, what should I do?" I can only live well, hahaha! ”
The simplicity of the old man's words contained philosophy and benefited the reporter a lot. Neighbors said that the longevity of the elderly is inseparable from the filial piety of their children and grandchildren. Whether it is a daughter-in-law or a few grandchildren, they all regard the old man as a treasure.
When saying goodbye, the old man enthusiastically took the reporter's hand and said, "Fengzhuang Village, don't you go to see the big drama?" I go every day, there are a lot of people! ”
Can you still go to the theater at 104? Once again, the reporter was taken aback.
"Do you still understand?"
"Those who can read the doorway, and those who don't understand can watch the excitement!"
At the end of the interview, the reporter was most impressed by the old man's kindness, humor, optimism and open-mindedness, as well as her deep attachment to her relatives. The old man believes in the life creed of "doing good in a life is a blessing", and uses it as a family motto to educate his children.
Over the past hundred years, the old man has endured too many ups and downs, too many hardships, and too many tribulations, but the optimism and kindness in her bones have never been wiped out. Laugh at life, and life will give you great energy. Let us wish the elderly good health and happy life.
