The grandmother lives in Dingtao County, Heze City, Shandong Province. She is 106 years old and has many children. The oldest is 80 years old and the youngest is 765,438+0 years old. An 80-year-old man looks strong. Like people in their sixties, longevity seems to be heritable.
Grandma's children are very filial to her and will take turns to take care of her on weekdays. Grandma will have children to help her every time she goes out, for fear that the old man will fall when he travels alone. Such a harmonious family is enviable at first glance. In my opinion, children can take care of the elderly because of the following two factors.
First, children have filial piety. Grandma's children are all farmers to the core. In our eyes, they are all ordinary old people, but in grandma's eyes, every child is his own pride. She raised her children and helped them get married. The old man was very happy to see every child living happily.
Filial piety is the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation. In the process of growing up, children learn to honor their parents, and they also want to set an excellent example for future generations with their own actions, so that this filial piety can be passed down from generation to generation. Grandma's children put filial piety first, so they will take good care of this centenarian grandmother.
Such excellent moral character is worth learning by many children. In many parts of our country, children are unfilial and support the elderly. In their eyes, the elderly are a "burden" and will become a drag on themselves; Living in such a family, the elderly have a very hard life and suffer physically and mentally.
Second, there is an old man at home. If there is an old saying that "there is an old man in the family, there is a treasure", many people understand it, but few people can really treat the old man as a treasure. Grandma's children will be very filial to the elderly, in addition to filial piety, but also because the elderly are the treasure of the family.
Grandma's son always thinks that as long as his mother is still alive, he is still a child and can be spoiled in front of his mother. Although these children are all over 70 years old, in the eyes of their mothers, they will always be children. This concept also makes grandma's children pay special attention to the health of the elderly. They are afraid that the elderly will be unwell during the care process.
The idea is simple, but it is also very useful. As long as mother is alive, we are her children, and she will treat us as children. At this point, I believe many people feel the same way. No matter how old we are, when we get home, we will still be spoiled by our mother and become her favorite children.
Snail insight: don't let "sons have to raise, relatives don't wait" become a reality. "The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind does not stop. The son wants to raise and not stay." This is a famous saying of filial piety to parents, and it is also a philosophy that I firmly remember when I first heard it. The meaning of this sentence is very simple, telling us to be filial when our parents are alive, and not to wait until our parents are gone to regret not being filial in time.
This sentence is very reasonable, but in real life, few people can do it. Some people don't care about their elderly parents when their parents are alive; After my parents left, I was very filial in dealing with the aftermath. The scene of crying is really embarrassing.
Now, we are very busy at work and have a lot of pressure in life. Many times I want to be filial, but I am blocked by reality. Even so, we can show our filial piety to our parents by caring and greeting. Parents don't need a good material life, nor do we need to give them a lot of money. What they need is our company and care.
Many people leave care to strangers and indifference to their parents. I don't take the initiative to call my parents when I have nothing to do. If this happens to your body, you might as well change from now on and try to call your parents once a week or half a month.
Caring for parents needs to come from the heart, and filial piety needs us to go into battle in person. There is no substitute for this matter. While parents are in good health, pay more attention to greetings and companionship, and don't let their parents' waiting become their biggest regret in this life.
