Guan Yongsen is taking care of his wife.
an ordinary old man is 40 years old to his wife who is sick in bed for 40 years. Now he is 70 years old, and his wife is still in the old years. They say they will continue to walk on the road of life. This is a pair of ordinary elderly people in the Road West community in Pukou District of Nanjing. Their stories are extolled in the neighborhood. On the eve of the 38 quarter, at the commendation meeting of the community harmonious family along the street of the river, Xu Guizhen, the old man, watched with tears in his eyes. "Without him, I may not be alive." Now the children and grandchildren are full of children, they are very filial, I am very happy!
44 years ago, Guan Yongsen and Xu Guizhen were a happy young man, but the disaster came suddenly. The young son played with a fire at home and ignited the mosquito net. At that time, Xu Guizhen had just given birth to another child and was sitting on the moon. The fire destroyed their homes, and the children in the clothes burned to death. Guan Yongsen and his wife were deeply grieved. But they had no idea that the misfortune was still waiting for them. When the fire was saved, Xu Guizhen was soaked in the cold water. She was still in the cold winter months. She was still sitting on the moon. At that time, Xu Guizhen did not feel much discomfort. For this family, she still worked hard. Two years later, when Xu Guizhen was working, he suddenly felt a pain in his leg, his feet couldn't fall to the ground, and the ground was like a needle like pain. She was suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. The disease became more and more serious. At last, it was unable to walk slowly and muscles atrophied. The fingers of both hands curled like chicken feet, and life lost their ability to take care of themselves. 4 children, six family members, all the heavy burden of life on Guan Yongsen.
"at that time I only got 13 yuan a month's income, although the rice was only 10 Fen catties, but to feed a family of six, it's easier said than done." Guan Yongsen said that in order to ensure his family's food and clothing, he could only keep busy day and night. Every morning, he gets up at 5 o'clock to get up and cook, clothes for the children, see them eat good meals, send them to school, and take care of his wife to eat, and go to work. At noon, other workers can have a rest. He can't do that. He must hurry home and cook. In the evening, after a busy day, he hurried home with his exhausted body. He also had to do housework and see the children doing their homework.
the children grow up day by day, but their wives are getting worse every day. "She often has to take medicine, and the medicine she eats adds up to several water tanks." This disease is very painful. In order to alleviate her pain, I taught myself acupuncture and moxibustion. First in your own body, take the test of yourself. I give her a needle every day, although it can not cure the disease, but every time after the needle, she will feel relaxed and comfortable. She cried several times and asked me why I was so good to her. I said, "you are my wife. I owe you in my last life." Speaking of optimism, Guan Yongsen's old man smiles on her face, while her wife lies on her chair and wipes her tears.
Guan Yongsen said that the days are much better now, and he is satisfied. When children grow up, they get married and get married. Though they are not very good, they can make a good deal. They are also filial piety. Starting in 2000, his wife began to enjoy the minimum allowances, and now he can receive 400 yuan subsidy every month. In order to exclude the loneliness of his wife, he seldom goes out and always stays around at home. Later, he bought a mahjong table. He often called neighbors to play mahjong at home.
"some people say that I am unlucky, actually I do not feel bitter, and I do not feel bad luck. Being able to do husband and wife is the fate of marriage. Couples should have taken care of each other." How can they be husband and wife when the great difficulty comes? I am still strong now, and I can take care of her. I will be satisfied. I will be her wheelchair for life and be her crutch. The old man's face showed an optimistic smile, which seemed to say, "is it not so called happiness?" ]
