Last weekend, our "centenarian search group" visited a special centenarian in Dongguan East Village, Chengyang Street, Juxian County, Rizhao City, Shandong Province. What's so special? First of all, her personality and temper are quite special. Because many long-lived old people are gentle in character and temper. The old man has a bad temper and a straightforward and frank personality. Secondly, the eating habits of this long-lived old man are also a bit special. She likes eating meat and drinking, but she doesn't like eating vegetables that are out of season. It can be said that her diet is monotonous and there are no tricks. At the same time, the long-lived old man can also know a kind of "beauty" technology, which has helped many brides and fashion girls to beautify and clean their faces. Let's learn about her life story together.
The long-lived old man named Zhou is a grandmother with great personality. She was born in 19 18 and is 104 years old this year. According to Zhang, the eldest son of the old man, the old man has been in good health and lived to be 90 years old. He doesn't usually catch a cold. Before his leg was injured, he cooked by himself, took care of himself and didn't need children to wait on him. Ten years ago, one day, the old man accidentally fell to the ground and broke his leg. Originally, his children were discussing to operate on her, but the old man was strong-willed. He said that he had never taken medicine or been hospitalized in his life, and he was determined not to have surgery or take medicine. Later, after more than a year of natural recovery, he gradually recovered. He has been holding a stool at home for more than ten years now. I can do everything by myself except cooking and washing clothes.
"My father died at the age of 77. Now I am several brothers who take turns to serve my mother. This family has been taking it for half a month. When she is old, the children must be served. This is filial piety. There is a saying that you raise me young and I have to raise you old. " Zhang said that as a mother, she once worked hard to raise her children, not worrying about food and clothing, saving money to build a house for us, marrying her daughter and letting them live and work in peace and contentment. Why? Don't you just want us to have a good life? Now that she is old, we have to take good care of her, let her eat well, dress well, live well, enjoy two more days and retire safely.
Grandma Zhou, a centenarian, has five children, three sons and two daughters. According to the ranking, the boss is a daughter, 8 1 year old this year. The second is the son, the eldest son of the old man, named Zhang, who is 78 years old this year. The third is my daughter, 75 years old. Old four and old five are sons, that is, the second and third sons of the old man. One is 73 years old and the other is 65 years old. Now the children of the elderly are in good health. The sons take turns to wait on her at home, and the daughters often visit her. Living a seemingly ordinary but happy old age.
"My mother eats two meals a day now. The last lunch is between 8: 00 and 8: 30, and the next lunch is between 2: 00 and 2: 30. After eating and having a rest, she went to bed at four o'clock in the afternoon. She usually gets up at seven in the morning and sleeps for a long time. " Zhang, the eldest son of grandma Zhou, a centenarian, said that when the elderly eat, they should drink one glass of wine, two meals a day, and one or two liquors for each meal. They have this habit of drinking since childhood. At dinner, she scalded a glass of white wine for the old man. While eating, she drank, and the rice was finished and the wine was finished. It has been such a habit for decades.
"She can drink anything, high-alcohol or low-alcohol wine, and don't have too much wine of any grade (don't care), as long as it is wine. I always buy her better wine to drink. Now that life is good, it is not bad. " Zhang said that in terms of diet, mother is not particular about it. Eating is a bowl of vegetables, a glass of white wine, a steamed bread or a pancake, which is very simple and does not need to be fried with wine and vegetables. If the dishes are fried too much, she will be too wasteful and will bother you. And the vegetables we eat are also local seasonal vegetables, mainly eggplant, beans, potatoes and so on. Spring, summer and autumn, winter is mainly cabbage and radish.
Usually, my grandmother Zhou, a centenarian, also likes to eat meat. Every time she cooks, she puts some pork belly and cuts the meat into pieces. Don't put too much, just a little meat. Or make pork into balls and eat them in dishes. The dishes that the old people eat are usually soup with water, that is, cooking and soup with vegetables. You can kill two birds with one stone by making pancakes and steamed bread while eating, and eating soup and vegetables. This is also her living habit for many years. In addition to eating soup, seasonal vegetables and some seasonal fruits, the biggest feature of the old people's diet is that they don't like to eat vegetables and fruits that are out of season, and they feel uncomfortable after eating these things.
In terms of diet, centenarians have no other hobbies except eating meat, drinking and local seasonal vegetables. Old people don't smoke, occasionally drink green tea, don't eat sugar, don't eat salty food, don't like snacks, don't like snacks and other sweets, and don't like milk. Simple diet, don't like too many tricks. Zhang said that sometimes she is afraid of eating the same food every day and has no appetite, so she wants to give her mother a change and improve her taste, but she still doesn't want to eat some breakfast that young people like, such as tofu brain, eight-treasure porridge and fried dough sticks.
"I call my mother since I was a child, not my mother. Why? Because a long time ago (before), my grandfather came to Juxian from Junan to farm for a large family, and he followed others, so he was called since he was a child. "Zhang, the eldest son of Zhou, a centenarian, said that his mother's hometown is Zhoujiapozi Village, dadian town, Junan County, but he grew up here in Junan County. At that time, from Junan to Juxian, along the banks of the Shuhe River, the plots stretching for more than 100 were large families, so my grandfather's family worked as farmers for a long time and finally settled down here in Juxian.
"My mother has five sisters, two brothers and two grandmothers, and she is the third. My great uncle and my second uncle went to the northeast in the sixties and seventies. Later, I heard that they all lived to be over eighty years old. My second aunt was over ninety years old when she didn't have that year, and my third aunt is still in good health. She is 945 this year. " Zhang said that he remembered going to his grandfather's house when he was a child, and he could still think that his grandfather had a big beard. His grandmother is not young, and he can't remember the exact age, but he also lived to be in his eighties. It can be seen from the brothers and sisters of centenarians that there is a longevity gene in the family of centenarians. Her sisters are now 945 years old and healthy.
After learning about the life habits and basic family situation of centenarians' week, Zhang introduced his mother's life experience and the personality characteristics of the elderly, which made us feel a little surprised. Because, 100-year-old grandmother is a little grumpy. When she was young, because of her outspoken personality and honesty, she often offended her neighbors and sometimes her children. If something is unsatisfactory or unsatisfactory, a word will make her furious. At this time, she will pick up something and hit people, sometimes make her daughter cry, and sometimes her son will ignore her for a few days. The temper of a hundred-year-old grandmother really surprised us.
"My mother has a bad temper. These two years have been better, and the cerebellum has shrunk a little. Her legs and feet are not neat and her temper is not so bad. A few years ago, when I first moved to the old people's house, I lost my temper easily. If you look at something that is not pleasing to the eye, pick up the fly and hit it. You will definitely (scold) people and hit people. When she is talking, if you argue with her (argue, argue, pout, talk back), she will raise her hand and hit. " Zhang said that he knew his mother's character, that is, the kind of person who is outspoken and "malicious". She spoke without reservation, but she didn't mean anything in her heart. However, people who don't understand are easily angered by her and are prone to conflicts.
"My elder sister, elder sister, before she came to see her, she picked up something to play without saying yes, or something was not as good as her original intention. Sometimes my sister is so angry that she doesn't come to see her for many days. " Zhang introduced that although she has a big temper, she gets angry quickly and disappears quickly. The anger of others is not over yet. She doesn't hold grudges at all, just like a good person. She should invite you to dinner, invite you to dinner. As if nothing had happened. Such a bad temper is not only for family members, but also for relatives and neighbors. People who know her are fine, and they don't often have conflicts.
"For a long time, my neighbors, aunts and girls' families were like this. Her personality is too straightforward, she doesn't hold back things she doesn't like, she is dissatisfied with one thing, and a word is unreasonable, just like a bamboo tube. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. She didn't think so much. It makes people angry when she says it, and she will fight with others. "Zhang said that although the old man has a bad temper and is honest and frank, she speaks frankly, is not reserved at all, and sometimes gets upset, but she is popular because she has an honest, kind, enthusiastic, frank, kind and kind heart.
Where is the enthusiasm? Zhang said that her mother is keen to be a "matchmaker" and act as a matchmaker for others. In the old society, young men and women did not fall in love as freely as they do now. Most of them were arranged by matchmakers, and they met for a while before forming a family. My cousins are all daughters-in-law introduced by my mother. There are many young men and women, children of relatives and so on in the village. , contributed to dozens of marriages and families, all very happy. To be a successful matchmaker, in fact, not everyone can be a matchmaker. You have to know some local customs, folk taboos, date of birth and other knowledge, but also have a sincere and selfless heart, otherwise the success rate will be very low.
Grandma Zhou, a centenarian, also has two "skills", one is delivery and the other is beauty. Zhang introduced that in the 1950s and 1960s, medical conditions were not as advanced as they are now, and rural wives could only find women who could deliver babies. Mother knows this delivery technique. At that time, many neighbors in the village gave birth to children and relatives gave birth to children. Mothers are very enthusiastic about delivering babies, and they are on call without any mistakes. The children are healthy and smart. After giving birth to the baby, he also helped to wait for the next month, guiding the baby's upbringing and never asking for a penny in return. In the eyes of the old people in the village, mother's kindness is well-known.
"My mother will shave people. Now it's beautiful. When I was a child, I watched her use cotton thread, one thread in each hand, and then bite one with her mouth and stick it on others' faces to wrinkle the thread and squeeze the unwanted hair off her face. " Zhang said that in the 1950s and 1960s, there was no such thing as a beautiful woman. Big girls usually shave like this before marriage, and so do beautiful new wives. Many newcomers in the village, as well as big girls who love beauty, and kannika nimtragol come to her for beauty treatment. She is always welcome and helpful, and never asks for a penny in return.
Zhang also introduced that when my mother was young, she went to eat at the most difficult time in order to support a large family. Later, in order to make a living, I also did a small business, fried fritters at home and sold them in the city, and also sold tofu. No matter what she does, her mother is a childlike person. Sometimes she will meet vagrants, beggars, old people, disabled people and so on who can't eat. She gives people food for free. Mother's adult beauty and helping others have become "family heirlooms", and such kindness has been passed on to future generations, and the children are also filial, kind, upright and kind. Grandma Zhou is a centenarian. She has a long life. In addition to her genes, we believe that her kindness, honesty, kindness, selflessness, enthusiasm and openness are also important reasons.
