Aunt Zhou, who was 90 years old in the same village, passed away. No one in the village felt sorry for her, and they all felt lucky for her children. "She finally passed away. It's such a pity. What kind of life did the children have? The family has no money!"

In fact, Aunt Zhou was also a hard-working person, marrying into her husband's family at the age of 18. Soon, the parents-in-law passed away one after another, leaving behind a half-year-old brother-in-law who was mute.
Although the couple lives a poor life, they have a very good relationship. They have been together for nearly twenty years and gave birth to four sons and two daughters?
"Unforeseen circumstances can happen." The eldest son had just grown up and the younger daughter had just entered elementary school. When her husband was pressing wheat straw on the wheat straw, he fell and died. That year, Aunt Zhou was under forty years old.
Some people also advised her to stay with another family while she was still young. Looking at the pile of children as tall and short as stairs, Aunt Zhou shook her head and said she would never marry in this life, lest the children would be wronged!
She took her eldest son to the township to find the authorities. Seeing that her family was really in trouble, the township leaders arranged for her eldest son to work as a temporary worker in the streets.
The second daughter can no longer go to school. After graduating from junior high school, she was assigned to work in a restaurant on the street to serve dishes so that she could not go hungry.
The third and fourth children are still in junior high school. After their father passed away, they became wild horses without anyone to control them. The fifth and sixth children are in elementary school.
Aunt Zhou wakes up every day and starts busy at home and outside the house. She keeps the chickens, pigs and ducks at home, and does farm work and crops in the fields outside. When she has a little free time, she has to sew and mend them.
Days passed as the children grew up. Aunt Zhou was only in her fifties, had gray hair and was a little hunchbacked.
Fortunately, the eldest son managed to live up to his expectations, got a regular job, got married, and had a child. The second daughter got married and had her own in-laws.
The third son became the mainstay of the family, and the fourth son went out to learn trades with people in the village. There were only two youngest children left, and Aunt Zhou had a smile on her face. People in the village said, "You are almost done, just wait and enjoy the blessings in the future!"
On the day of her third son's wedding, Aunt Zhou went to look for something in the attic of her home, but unexpectedly she slipped and fell.
The children panicked and carried her to the hospital. The doctor looked at the film and said that 's spine was broken. Just like that, Aunt Zhou never got up again. She was not yet 60 years old that year.
spent a period of time recovering in the hospital, and the money was spent like water. Aunt Zhou motioned to go home to recuperate, and several children discussed taking turns taking care of him.
When it was the turn of the eldest son and his wife, they took leave. When it was the turn of the second daughter, she had no choice but to leave her parents-in-law, husband and children and return to her parents' home.

Every child is afraid that Aunt Zhou will get bedsores, so they turn her over and massage her regularly, scrub her whole body, collect her feces and urine, and wash her diapers.
When the weather is nice, the child who takes care of her will use a wide cloth strap to fasten her to a wicker chair and come out to bask in the sun and chat with the neighbors.
A few years have passed like this. Aunt Zhou's complexion looks very good. Except that she can't move her body or urinate or defecate, she doesn't look like a patient at all, and she has no odor.
The children all looked tired. Everyone has their own family and children. It was hard to earn some money to support the family, but they also had to raise money to buy medicine for their mother, and occasionally needed rehabilitation treatment.
The eldest son and his wife were laid off early because they often asked for leave and lost their source of income. What should they do if their children are about to start a family and need a house but no house and no money? In these years, I only thought about my mother and neglected my family.
The eldest daughter-in-law couldn't stand this depressing life and said she didn't want to see her mother-in-law anymore, so she filed for divorce at the age of half a century.
The second daughter also comes back frequently and has no time to take care of her elderly parents-in-law and her own family. Her husband and children complained about her, and even asked her, "Do you want your mother's family? Or our family?" She seemed to want a divorce.
When my children go out to work, they can only do part-time jobs and cannot earn much money. At home, the husband and wife quarrel and the children cry. When the fourth and fifth children got divorced, they cried like tears while holding their wives in their arms.
Aunt Zhou also cried. She felt guilty for dragging down the child. The brothers and sisters sat on the bedside of their mother, comforting her with tears.
Later, Lao Wu wiped away his tears and said, "I'm divorced anyway, so I might as well just take care of my mother. You guys can send me your living expenses every month!" At that time, he was only thirty-six years old, and Aunt Zhou was sixty-five!
Lao Wu pushes his mother out for a walk every day and chats with people. She is clean and fresh from head to toe. People who meet her say that Aunt Zhou is blessed and her children are filial.
Year after year, we watched Lao Wu’s black hair turn into a head of white hair. People his age had children who were getting married and raising children.
He hunched over every day and silently did everything a son should do. After so many years, Aunt Zhou had no intention of "leaving". Although she had no choice but to continue.
When Aunt Zhou was ninety years old, the younger generations of the family celebrated her birthday. After her birthday, she left in her sleep.
The children knelt down in a row and cried bitterly. The one who cried loudest was Lao Wu. Everyone knew this cry. In fact, he was not crying about his mother's death, but he was crying about his 30 years of youth.

Longevity, is it a disaster?
As the saying goes, "There is no filial son in bedside for a long time."
Compared to children, it doesn't matter how old the elderly are if they can take care of themselves healthily.
The problem is that they are sick, especially when they are paralyzed in bed and cannot take care of themselves, have incontinence of urine and feces, and cannot leave people around them. If the elderly live long, it is really a disaster. This sentence of is not a disdain, it is a fact, and everyone who has experienced it understands it.
Some children take care of long-lived elderly people who have been sick for a long time. Not only do they have poor quality of life, but they also wear down their bodies, and even "walk" ahead of the elderly.
Taking care of long-lived elderly people who have been sick for a long time is easy to say, but only after experiencing it can you understand the difficulty!
But if you really encounter it, you can’t just ignore it! After all, respecting the elderly is a virtue of the Chinese nation. If you have the conditions, it is best to take care of them yourself. If the conditions are really limited, such as an only-child family, you can only hire a live-in nanny or send them to a nursing home.
