It was their mother who was more than nine days old.
the story takes place in the village of fire temple in Yangzi Town, Zhongxiang, Hubei. This mother, Chen Xiuying, has created a miracle with great mother love for more than half a century. She has carefully raised three "monkey Eve" and is called "the most loving mother".
a new stone paved road leads to Chen Xiuying's house. The three "monkey Eve" saw the arrival of a journalist. "Oh Oh, oh," say no stop, though I do not know what it said, it is a very exciting look.
sister dressed in a water red skirt, Chen Yang milk, squinting, Pucking her lips, and moving to a small chair to ask reporters to sit. Chen Xiaogou, 65, raised his right hand in front of his forehead. He often greeted people with a smile. He took a cigarette and smoked up and looked intoxicated. Chen Xiaohuan and her younger sister seemed to be more quiet and quiet, sitting around and playing, sometimes pulling their sparse hair, and occasionally smiling and laughing.
mother Chen Xiuying is 94 years old. Her hair is grey, with a kind face and deep shallow wrinkles. Her body and bones showed her perseverance and could not see that she had gone through the vicissitudes of the storm for nearly a century. When asked how big the monkey was, she only showed their faces one by one, a dog, a snake, a dragon, and a household register to the reporters.
she told reporters that she and her husband were married to their cousins, and had 8 children, one of whom died. The 3 mentally retarded children, Chen Xiaogou, Chen Yangnai and Chen Xiaohuan are the second, the old five and the old eight. All the other 4 children have become a family member, their children and grandchildren are all healthy, the older son is more children and grandchildren, 5 children, the doctors and the teachers in the City, and his grandson is also in college.
three mentally retarded children will not speak from an early age. Even my parents can't call them. They can't understand people's speech. They can't take care of themselves. They don't wear clothes or go to the toilet. They are not tall, one meter and four meters, the head is especially small, the development is bad, the leg is fine to walk a Great Britain, the expression is wood, the ignorant understanding only knows the smile, plus the habit of raising the hand to shading, is called "monkey Eve" by the local people. In the face of "Monkey Baby", I do not know how to communicate, and use hand to make a comparison. They will only smile at you, and their mother's service seems to be the only thing they can understand.
the locals say it's rare to live such a long time like this, just because of the mother's guardianship, and the mother is so healthy and long, that's a life's persistence and live for the "monkey Eve".
the birth of the three "monkey babies" was a blow to the Chen Xiuying family, but after all, the children were the hearts of their mothers. They never gave up. In addition to busy field work, almost all the energy invested in the three children.
in the morning, Chen Xiuying dressed them up one by one, washed their faces and combed their hair, and when they were eating, they tirelessly taught them to use chopsticks instead of using their hands. Three meals a day, all rely on parents to bowl a bowl of rice to the three children's hands. During the day, the three children ran out to play crazy, often did not know home, the couple went to the field to find.
in the evening, they should give them a bath and change clothes, coax them to sleep, and sometimes just take the care to sleep, and the one that climbs up again.
decades, one day, Chen Xiuying did not leave the village for a day, in order to take care of these three mentally retarded children. Although they could not hear them call a mother, but her life is most gratified is "Monkey Baby" to the mother's attachment, the mother and child feel the same heart. Whenever there are delicious things, monkey monkeys will happily jump to their mothers and dance.
in the mother's eyes, "monkey Eve" is always a child. In the daytime, they have to do three meals in their hands, and get up for four or five times in the evening and take them to the toilet. The reporter saw that the three "monkey babies" were all dressed in old clothes, but they were still neat and had no peculiar smell. Mothers wash their clothes every day. If they are not careful, their children often wear their pants on their pants and wash them two or three times a day.
now, Chen Xiuying, 94 years old, still has no eye, ears are not deaf, his voice is loud and he is dressed neatly. In addition to caring for children, every day to grow vegetables, chicken, a piece of sweet potato in front of the house green oil, a piece of corn in front of the door cement, a group of chickens foraging around, the front of the house is filled with collected firewood. Although the food is simple and light, she can eat a large bowl of rice for each meal. In the interview, Chen Xiuying took a reporter's hand to thank the government, and led a reporter to the room to see a room with a light, open, unscrewed faucet and running water. She lived with her daughter, Chen Yangnai, with a little puppy and Xiao Huan, two pink mosquito nets in the room, two new beds, and the warmth of the family.
for many years, the Chen Xiuying family has always been the focus of government attention. In the 70s of last century, the Zhongxiang civil affairs department gave three "monkey babies" 1 yuan per person per day. By 90s, regular quantitative assistance for the family was 170 yuan a month. From 1999, the standard was gradually raised. The standard was gradually improved. In 2009, 4 people in the whole family enjoyed the urban and rural low insurance, and 920 yuan a month.
Kong Qinglong, director of the Civil Affairs Office of Yangzi Town, said, "there are rice oil fish and other material consolation for the festival in the year of the festival, and the villagers also send rice to send vegetables at ordinary times."
Chen Xiuying's wife died 10 years ago. She took care of three "monkey babies" by herself, and the burden was heavier. Seeing Chen Xiuying gradually getting old and ailing, Zhongxiang civil affairs department invested 400 yuan a month to invite villagers to be "babysitters" and take care of their families. In June this year, Zou Zhifu, director of the Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, decided to raise 15 thousand yuan to solve a series of difficulties when he visited the gate. The tap water was installed to avoid the suffering of the old man, replacing the wire, repairing the tile, repairing the cement in front of the house, and laying a stone road of hundreds of meters in front of her house.
Chen Xiuying told reporters that even if she were not in the world and had the concern of the government, the three children would not have to worry about their future life.
