In the first month, in the rural hometown and Fa Xiao in the laneway chatting, saw an old man in the red gate building out of the way, he cheerfully greeted us, everyone responded, and then stood under the gate to start chatting, the old man's surname sun, everyone called him Junling, because Uncle Sun is a foreigner settled in this village, single life, easy-going personality, no excessive words, most of his life is always a person silently doing farm work, the villagers always feel that he is an "honest man"! Even think he's a "weirdo."
The deepest impression of Uncle Sun is the new year's day of the New Year every year, the habits of the rural people in Jinnan, Shanxi Province, in the first month, only the relatives of the same village have the habit of visiting each other's doors to worship the New Year, the number of ceremonies between the villagers is very simple, that is, to meet each other to say hello to the New Year, but since Uncle Sun came to our village, he changed his habits, he brought the old shandong people's New Year's greeting mode, in the morning to get up without eating, they began to kowtow to the whole village door to door to worship the New Year, walked into the courtyard and shouted "Junling for you to worship the New Year", and then went straight to the main house. Kneeling under the god's seat began to perform the ceremony, the villagers were also very friendly, usually handed him a cigarette or invited him to eat something, Uncle Sun just smiled and took the cigarette, and then hurried to the next house.
After I became an adult, I went out of the countryside, and uncle Sun met less often, occasionally there are red and white things in the village to have the opportunity to see him, the old man still maintains the image of not talking much and working happily, of course, there is no very serious exchange, now asked about the age of the grandfather, he said that this year has been 80 years, deaf and blind, legs and feet, the body is still very healthy, you can also do farm work, the biggest hobby is to smoke and eat "earth turtles". Listening to him talk like this, I think he is really a bit "strange", and the children do not think so, they say that Uncle Sun's habit is known to the whole village, and it has become a secret that has not been a secret for decades. Uncle Sun has not spoken and gestured with his hand to eat Tuyuan for 30 years.
In further exchanges, it was learned that Uncle Sun suffered from leg pain when he was about 50 years old, the old mother said to give him a home remedy is to eat soil yuan, Shandong people call it "soil turtle worm", the locals call it "soil dustpan", the uncle listened to his mother's words, and then he grabbed the "earth turtle worm" to eat, eating method is also very direct to grab the hand and put it in the mouth to chew on the stomach, almost eat three or five every day, half a year after the effect, 2 years later the leg pain problem did not occur again, of course, he also ate addiction, of course, he also ate addiction, Often the first half of the year to catch bugs to save until the winter, from time to time to eat a few too much fun.
Uncle Sun said that when his parents fled from Shandong to Shanxi, afraid that he would have an accident on the road, he left him in his hometown, and then he got a foothold here, and gave birth to 2 younger brothers who had no time to take care of him in his hometown, until he was about 30 years old, he took him over, missed the opportunity to get married and start a family, and then lived with his parents, the old man died and lived with the third brother's family, a few years ago it was the nephew's family to take care of his life, these years the village gave him five guarantees in the countryside, The year before, the local government arranged for him to be in the township home for the elderly and live a pension life without worrying about eating and drinking.
Uncle Sun is a rural old man who can't stop, he said that at the beginning of the nursing home, he was not used to eating and not working, after eating he always had to go out for a long time, just exercise, and even sometimes run home, do some work in the nephew's sheep pen, seem to feel comfortable.
Uncle Sun said that now just intermittently eat some "earth turtle worms", the legs are good, you don't need to eat every day, but the time to eat is addictive, the pocket always has to be loaded with a few, want to eat one, anyway, this bug is not harmful to the body.
The old man is now in good health, able to do farm work in the field and drive an electric car. He said that he did not marry for a lifetime and fell into a good body, in his later years he had a nephew family and government support, life was good, he usually lived in a nursing home, three meals a day on time, lived in an air-conditioned room and a hotel, an old farmer had no contribution to the country, and he wanted to be satisfied when he was old.
In the New Year, Uncle Sun returned to the village for a walk, walking in the laneway, although there were still not many words, but we could feel that he had taken this place as his hometown and enjoyed the feeling of going home for the New Year.
Most of the rural elderly in the old age as long as the health is idle, always have to do some work within their reach, in the words of Uncle Sun people are like machines, as long as the motor turns up no matter how fast or slow can not stop, eating "earth turtle worms" is only the maintenance of the middle. Uncle Sun spent his old age in the nursing home, and when he was homesick, he returned to the countryside to carry out activities and activities, whether he liked to talk or not, as long as he walked in the village, he must be very happy in his heart. 【If you want to see more stories of the people, please click to pay attention】
