"Mother, what kind of food do you eat in the morning, do we still eat cabbage meat?"
On October 26, when the author, led by Zhang Jinxiu, an 80-year-old man from Zhang chengzhai Village, Zhangwan Town, Dingtao District, came to an ordinary farmyard in Cuizhai Village, Helou Street, Mudan District, Zhang Jinzuzheng, a 70-year-old farm woman, and cai Shi, a 106-year-old mother, sat in a neat yard to cut corn kernels. Behind them, golden corn hoards filled the courtyard.
"My mother often comes to live, every once in a while, and several of our brothers and sisters are competing to take care of the elderly." If you call diligently, she won't come. Estimating that the time was almost up, I picked up my mother-in-law. Stay for a few days, my brother is urging again! I'll just call, don't pick her up, she's not staying enough, and I don't want to tell her to go. When our mother has lived enough, I will call again, and you will pick up. Talking about the situation of several brothers and sisters taking care of their mothers, Zhang Jinzu said happily.
Zhang Jinzu introduced that his mother Cai Shi was a person from the old society, who was not picky about dressing and eating, contributed to work for a lifetime, and did not like to be idle. People in more than a hundred years old, in addition to some deafness, there is nothing wrong with the body, and they are not happy to cut corn kernels, or cook for the pot, sew clothes, sweep the yard, and do not let her work. This spring, Zhang Jinzu got half a cloth bag of peanuts, and his mother peeled them in one day. In order to prevent tired mother, Zhang Jinzu accompanied his mother to pull the croak, and often combed her mother's hair, washed her feet, and cut her nails. Think about the days of eating chaff in the past, and then look at today's happy life, the two women talked for a while, laughed for a while, and the day passed unconsciously.
In the treatment of the diet of the elderly, Zhang Jinzu also made sufficient efforts.
She said: "Eat unwell, give her a good gnocchi, eat something that is digestible." When the date is ready, I will make her some incense and make it that she can eat. The meat she ate was all about her crumbling and rotten. This morning, I drank a bowl of egg tea, ate an egg, drank a large bowl of rice, and I ate a piece of meatloaf fried with an electric cake bell, and I also ate a piece of na-"
"Filial piety is the right thing to do, when we were young, she didn't raise her, can we grow up?" She's old, so we should raise her. Where the lady wants to go, she will go wherever she wants, and she does not say that in whose house there are many days and days, and it is just right to go wherever she goes, don't care who lives in it. Talking about the original intention of taking care of the elderly, Zhang Jinxiu said.
Zhang Jinxiu introduced that the parents gave birth to 6 of their brothers and sisters, and there are 4 people left who are currently alive. Their family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine, grandfather Zhang Jiayin and father Zhang Zhiliang are well-known old Chinese medicine doctors in surrounding townships. When his father, Zhang Zhiliang, died of illness in his 60s, only his brother and himself became a family, and it was the mother who worried about providing other siblings with school and became a family. Now the third brother Zhang Jinzhou is a doctor in Heze, the fourth brother Zhang Jinpu is doing business in Beijing, he and his son Zhang Chengliang are doctors in the village, and some nephews and nieces are in Beijing, some are in Jinan, some are architects, some are cooks, and some are lawyers. Life is good, and there are more conditions for taking care of the elderly. Think about the suffering and sins suffered by parents in those years, and want the elderly to enjoy a high quality of life.
Just as we were talking, Zhang Jinzu's daughter Cui Suqin rode an electric tricycle to bring food to her grandmother and mother.
"Grandmother, give you stewed cabbage meat." Grandma, come, sit here, eat while it's hot, I'll bring you a bowl to serve, you slow down. Cui Suqin said carefully.
Zhang Jinzu said happily: "My children are very filial piety, and they often call and ask, does the mother still have money?" I'll give you some money. The chicken, duck and fish meat in the refrigerator at home has never been broken, and the girl will send it when she moves the meat, and I am very satisfied. ”
"As young people, we should be filial to the elderly, and under the influence of our uncles and mothers, we should pass on this filial piety." Cui Suqin said.
Talking about the next step, Zhang Jinxiu said: "I have a 106-year-old wife, the average person is not comparable, I am very happy. In the future, a few sisters, take care of the mother who is happy and healthy, and let the old man spend his old age in peace. ”
