The sky of the year has always been like a bright landscape painting, and it is impossible to distinguish spring and autumn. The sky is so high, the white clouds are so enchanting, and the sun is so bright. People's joy for the New Year also ignited the joy of the sky, which was broad and bright.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, the sound of firecrackers spread one after another. The sound of firecrackers in this year began at 12 o'clock on the evening of the 30th, and there was a slight pause, and the next morning concentrated the firepower again and roared with all its might. After Ya made the dumplings, she still served three bowls first, placed them neatly on the table, and then bowed and closed her eyes, muttering a prayer to the supreme god to bless your relatives with peace and health, and all the best.

After eating, my daughter looked at her mobile phone, and Ya looked at writing.

I don't know if the smoke of firecrackers rose into the air overnight, blocking the sun, the sky was gray, and even raindrops were floating. Ya hurriedly moved the wooden shelves where the clothes were drying and put the shoes in.

By noon, the sky was clear again, the sun came out, the sun was getting stronger and stronger, and the joy of birds came out of the forest again. I remember when I first arrived at my husband's house, my husband's grandmother said that from the first to the third day of junior high school, I don't use needles, scissors, or wash clothes. Ya didn't take it seriously, she still took needles and sewed buttons, knitted things, and still washed clothes, and grandma was very unhappy.

As the years go up, Ya feels that there should be something to be feared, there should be some New Year's rituals, and some customs should be followed. In the three days from the first to the third day of the new year, Yaguo really endured not to wash clothes anymore. It wasn't until the fifth day of the new year that Ya began to wash.

The sound of firecrackers roars from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year in the morning and evening, one after another, like waves crashing on the shore, endlessly. At night, fireworks shine on the distant mountain tops. Red, green, blue, colorful, one big flower after another, blooming in an instant, disappearing in an instant.

These days, the night sky is extraordinarily deep and dark, and the fireworks are particularly dazzling. On weekdays, when fireworks are taken into the sky, you can't help but run out to watch, but now, fireworks are blooming in the sky on all sides, making people dizzy.

Those who watch fireworks up close will feel the feeling that the depression in their hearts will also disperse when they see the fireworks rise from the ground and then scatter in all colors? Looking at the mysterious and beautiful fireworks, the joy also spread from my heart to my eyes, until the stars also ignited sparks. Looking at the colorful showers in the night sky, the worries have long since disappeared.

In their hometowns, relatives must have their own plans for visiting and entertainment arrangements every day. Parks, zoos, and amusement parks are bound to be full at this time, and children are excitedly shouting and singing into the hearts of adults. The joy of adults is more because of the joy of children, and it seems that the unhappiness and dissatisfaction of their childhood should be made up for by the children, so that the children feel happy and rich.

Ya and her daughter stayed in the house every day during the Spring Festival, and the door was rarely opened, and they only walked out of the door when they wanted to turn hula hoops and skipping rope. When you are sleepy, you go to the balcony to look at the distant mountains and see the green ripples.

The snow-white ducks and hemp gray ducks float comfortably on the turquoise water or soak up the sun on the grass in the warm spring weather. What a quiet and beautiful picture, Ya feels that they are idle clouds and wild cranes.

They have no worries, no strife and entanglement, and everyone lives in this quiet and secluded place in harmony. There are no vehicles to disturb them, no vicious dogs barking at them, no love and hatred to haunt them, no human tragedies and darkness...... They really seem to grow in a paradise.

Even though it is far away from human beings, no one throws anything to eat, but a quiet place in the deep mountains and wilderness, they can still live so leisurely, and the ponds and meadows have their own food given to them by God, and even the fertile water and grass can also provide them with food.

Ya looked at the peaceful ducks, and the idea of becoming one of them came to mind again.

On this quiet day of the Chinese New Year, when Ya reads a book or writes a text, her daughter watches cartoons on her mobile phone. When Ya looked at her phone, her daughter began to tinker with food. She made the ingredients in a variety of ways. She also slice the onion and mix the condiments and fry them in an electric baking pan, and she even puts the potatoes and onions together and stir-fries them like this. Potatoes and eggs are really good and delicious foods for children, and there are few times when they have enough. If you look at how popular the chips are in McDonald's, you know how popular potatoes are.

Children love sausages and spicy strips, and Ya bought a big bag, and her daughter put them all in the grid behind the freezer door. She doesn't eat much, half a bag or a bag a day. For her, spicy bars are better than bread biscuits. Ya didn't want to eat one after eating one, she didn't understand why the children loved this little snack so much, could their taste buds be so adapted to it?

In this quiet year, her daughter's favorite thing to do is to make food, in addition to fried potatoes, onions, sweet potatoes, she also likes to stir the noodles into a paste, beat eggs in it, and then make pancakes in the electric baking pan. Or knead the dough into a dough and make small round cakes in an electric baking pan, which she is happy to do, and it is rare that she is interested in making food.

Ya has always had a non-salty attitude towards cooking, and when there are many people, she is interested in doing it. She likes to fill a table and then have a lot of people to eat, and then she feels a sense of accomplishment. I remember when she was building a new house at her husband's house, her task was to cook. She did morning and noon every day, and did noon and evening, and it seemed like she was cooking all day.

When a table full of dishes was put on the table, and the chefs and their families gathered around the table, Ya couldn't mention how happy she was. The fewer people who eat, the less energetic Ya is to do it. Especially when Ya is alone, she will cook a small pot of porridge for a day, and she doesn't even bother to fry the vegetables, either putting sugar or mustard. If there are steamed buns at home, it is more convenient, just eat steamed buns and drink boiled water, her stomach is never picky.

When my husband was at home, he used liquefied gas for stir-frying, but when this liquefied gas stove was turned on, it only came out of the gas without fire, so my husband tore the paper into strips, lit it with a lighter, and then put it on the stove, and the liquefied gas ignited. Ya also tried, but it didn't ignite, and after reading too many reports of liquefied gas accidents, Ya had an inexplicable fear of liquefied gas.

Once my husband had something to go back for a week or two, Ya ordered a ceramic stove from the Internet, which is actually similar to an induction cooker, but with an additional function that can barbecue food, but Ya has not tried it so far. Ya also ordered a small electric baking pan from the Internet, the electric baking pan in her hometown is relatively large, and one cake is equivalent to two or three electric baking pan stalls.

This small electric baking pan has now become an artifact for the daughter's pancake stir-fry. Ya thinks that it is a toy in her daughter's hand.

My daughter also often kneaded the dough into small balls and put various colors in it to make plasticine to play. Before the Spring Festival, Ya bought two small pieces of toilet paper, thinking that it was enough for the New Year. However, due to the frequent occurrence of jahinitis, sometimes a roll of paper is used up after a while. By the fifth day of the new year, there was only one small volume left. With a few days left on the holidays, days without toilet paper are unthinkable. It is said that Indians do not use toilet paper to go to the toilet, they use their left hand and water.

Thinking that people usually touch the sashimi with their hands will leave a fishy smell, and even if they are washed with alkali, it will not disappear completely, and when I think of so many bright women with bright eyes and bright teeth in India who use their hands instead of paper, Ya actually has complex emotions welling up. Ya has always believed that Indian beauties are really amazing.

Ya went out on the 30th to make a purchase, thinking that there would be no need to go out during the whole Spring Festival, but the days when there was no toilet paper were unimaginable and must be bought.

On the morning of the sixth day of the new year, Ya went downstairs for the first time in so many days. When she walked to the carport to drive the motorcycle, she suddenly felt a little dizzy in her head, and the scene in front of her was a little blurry, and she was terrified in her heart, praying for God's blessing. Could it be that your blood pressure is too low? Ya had low blood pressure before. Or is it because you have been at home for many days and can't get used to the abundant light?

Ya slowly wiped the dust from her seat and slowly pushed out the bike, and in a heartfelt prayer to God, Ya returned to normal.

The factory door was locked, and the security room was empty. These days, the security guard is leisurely, and he doesn't have to open the door all day long, and he probably can't imagine that Ya will go out today. Ya couldn't help but regret it: why don't you buy more toilet paper? Just as Ya turned the car around and was about to go back, he saw the security guard coming from the depths of the factory yard, and he might go to feed the dogs.

Outside the factory gate, there are very few shops open on both sides of Maami Street, and most of them are still closed. There is a constant sound of firecrackers, it may be that the shops in the market are opening today, Ya went to the supermarket to buy toilet paper, bread, biscuits, vegetables, and rice balls. When she returned, Ya went to the pharmacy and bought a small packet of psyllium to make tea. It is said that psyllium has many effects: diuretic, heat-clearing, eye-brightening, phlegm and cough relief, skin ulcers, gouty arthritis, etc. Ya Lao felt that his eyes were sleepy and uncomfortable, so he thought of buying psyllium to make tea to see if it was effective.

The man who sold the medicine was about 50 years old, short in stature, and when he saw Ya weighing himself on the scale, he asked, "How much?" ”

Ya said, "It's time to lose weight."

The man said, "I have a Chinese medicine prescription for weight loss here, you can grab a few pairs and drink them." ”

Ya said, "I've drunk it, it's useless." ”

The man said, "The prescription I prescribed is absolutely useful." ”

Ya rubbed her clogged nose and said, "Is there any effective medicine for rhinitis?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "Rhinitis can't be cured, you can't lose weight." ”

Ya was a little surprised and asked, "Why?" ”

"People with rhinitis can't lose weight, and having rhinitis means that there is a deficiency of qi and blood, and the more you lose it, the worse your body is."

He looked at Xia Ya again and said, "You are not open in the middle of the people, and you are wilting in old age. You're old and you're not in good health. ”

Ya smiled and asked, "Do you know how to look?" ”

The man said, "I have read the Book of the Five Elements, so I know a little bit." ”

Ya Xiang: I often have headaches and sleepy eyes now, rhinitis is committed twice in three days, and it is strange that I am old and in good health. Thinking of the bleak evening scene, Ya was a little depressed.

People are most afraid of being paralyzed in bed in old age and asking for service, and then they will feel that they are a wasted person. People will take care of the warm baby, but for the elderly who have lost their ability to take care of themselves, many people do not have this love and patience. I often hear sick old people say, "It's better to go early than to live and suffer." ”

Two days earlier, Ya watched a video: an old lady in her 80s, she has four sons and two daughters. Her four sons took turns managing her life. When it was the turn of the eldest son, the eldest son's dog had previously bitten the old lady's leg, and the old lady stayed in his house for two or three months longer.

Sent to the fourth son, he was sent over at the end of the month, the eldest son felt that he had suffered a loss, so he locked the door and left, and the other sons felt that they should not take care of it themselves.

On that cold winter night, the old lady walked on the rugged mountain road with her crutches on her shoulders, and her face was covered in blood, but she still struggled to find the other sons. She knocked on the door, and she shouted the names of her sons, and her sons and daughters-in-law heard them, but they didn't want to get up.

The next day they pushed the door open, and the old lady was frozen to death. An old man in his 80s can raise four sons and two daughters (the daughter is willing to take them up, but the sons feel that they have no face and are not allowed to go), but the sons are unwilling to raise an old man, how much can an 80-year-old man eat?

I also saw on the Internet that there are elderly people in their 100s who live by themselves and farm and cook by themselves, because they have a healthy body and can take care of themselves.

In the final analysis, it is most important for people to have a healthy body. Elderly people in their 100s can be self-sufficient with hoes and hoes, but people in their 80s have to use crutches, which is the difference in physical fitness. It seems that people still have to pay attention to physical exercise, and Chen Ailian, a famous female dancer in my country, can still perform Lin Daiyu on stage in her 70s. If you want to be old without crutches and hunched over, you must insist on exercising all year round.

Jaya couldn't imagine being bedridden in her old age. When she was in Beijing, she had a sore back for a while, so she asked her husband, "What would you do if I were paralyzed in bed one day?" ”

My husband glared and said, "What should I do?!" Send you back to your parents' home! ”

Ya immediately cried and laughed, and a desolation rose in her heart.

Ya also imagined: what if her husband is paralyzed? Ya felt that there was nothing to imagine, if he was paralyzed, he would definitely not be afraid of being dirty or tired to serve him. The union between himself and him is originally out of true love. And whether her husband has ever loved her or not, Ya doesn't know. was also affectionate at the beginning, is it a disguise? Now you don't have the patience to disguise?

When they are old and rely on their children to serve, the social pressure is so great, it is not easy for the children to take care of themselves, how can they bear to drag them down?

From this point of view, health should still be put in a very important position in people's lives. Even if you don't have any savings when you're old, you can solve your own life problems if you have a good body, grow some vegetables, raise some chickens, and raise pigs. Growing wheat and rice is a bit troublesome, but growing potatoes, sweet potatoes, and beans can be used as staple food.

God gave people seeds, that is, people need to support themselves through planting, so the problem of eating does not necessarily have to be obtained through part-time work and business, after all, it needs to be completed through communication and cooperation with others, and it is not suitable to do it when you are old. Isn't it said on the Internet that a one-square-meter vegetable garden can solve the problem of eating vegetables? Planting is not a very difficult task.

The old lady who was on crutches and froze to death and starved to death, if she had a good body, even if her children didn't care about herself, she built a thatched house by herself, and she was afraid of cold in winter, and she could be surrounded by plastic sheets, and there would be a greenhouse effect. She lives by herself, grows her own vegetables, raises chickens, so that she has meat and vegetarian food, so that she will not die so tragically.
