Qin's mother has three postures for eating: one is at the dinner table; the second is to sit on the bed with his clothes on; The third is to stand in front of the bedside cabinet. When Qin's mother was still nimble, the dining table was placed in the center of the hall, and she sat on it to eat, and she only ate one bowl per meal. When eating noodles, she took out MSG from her waist bag and dipped a little with chopsticks as a seasoning. It is this girdle that she often takes out of her bag and gives it to the children. Later, one side of the dining table was against the wall, and as soon as Qin's mother came out of the room, she sat under the dining table to eat. Later, Qin's mother became more and more old, and she ate on the bed, with a dress on the quilt, a vegetable bowl and a rice bowl on it, and sometimes some soup was sprinkled. Qin's mother's vegetable cup has a small hole, and she can still use it after using cotton to make up for it. Mother Qin sometimes gets up and stands by the cabinet to eat, the cat is very annoying, and often climbs up the cabinet to eat her things, she will beat and scold it away. The dishes that Qin's mother has eaten include tempeh, sauce, pickles, kimchi, red tofu and so on...... In the summer, Qin's mother has to go to the field to find pumpkin flowers to eat, eat pumpkin flowers only eat petals, no stamens, pumpkin flower stems do not need skin, very crisp and delicious. Qin's mother was very fond of vegetables, loofahs, beans, as well as taro porridge, porridge boiled with rotten peanuts, and dry rice steamed with winter melon. If there is a delicious dish, Qin's mother should treat the dish as a meal and only eat a little food. Qin's mother had peach slices and sandwich biscuits on her bedside, and she had to eat glucose when she was thirsty. Qin's mother couldn't open the canned food when she ate it, so she asked Qin Guoxing to help, and there was no canned food that Qin Guoxing couldn't open. Sometimes Qin Guoxing's wife boiled two eggs for the old mother, put lard and sugar, and Qin's mother wanted to leave one for her grandson. In order to make her eyes clear, Qin's mother bought cod liver oil to steam eggs to eat, and she also ate stewed pig's eyes. In order to clear the heat, Qin's mother had to drink very bitter pig bitter gall. Mother Qin brought a bowl from outside, which she could use to scoop garlic, peppercorns, peppers, and peppers.

In winter, Qin's mother was dressed very thickly, her hands and feet were inconvenient, and it was difficult to take off her clothes. Qin Guoxing helped her pull her sleeves hard, so that the heavy cotton jacket could be taken off. At that time, Qin Guoxing's son Xiao Qin often slept with his grandmother, and in winter, when he went to sleep, it was always warm in the bed. Qin's mother said that once she saw a ghost when she was sick, so when she was sick and moaning, Xiao Qin slept in her bed and felt very scared. In winter, Qin Guoxing's wife has to make a fire for Qin's mother every day, and Qin's mother puts a cloth on the fire pocket when she bakes the fire, which can reduce heat loss. Qin's mother also often uses a fire pocket to bake the little doll's wet-soaked clothes and pants, and the wet-soaked cotton pants will be baked for a long time. When there was no heat in the fire pocket, Qin Mu grabbed it with her hand, and the fire buried in the ashes was exposed, and the heat was greater. When the fire was about to go out, Qin Mu grabbed a handful of sawdust noodles and put them in, so that she could bake them for a while. A pocket of fire Qin mother has to roast for a whole day, and sometimes at night she has to put the fire pocket on the bed to roast the quilt.

Qin's mother is very concerned about farming, and she asked Qin Guoxing when to plant cowpeas, pumpkins, eggplants, and taro. Qin Guoxing is very busy with farm work, and he can't do all these things. When Qin's mother was still in good health, she had to help the family with the work: chopping pigweed, picking firewood, cooking, sweeping the house, cleaning the dam, and sometimes burning slag in the dam, and the children would play with fire. The bellows were broken, and Qin's mother used small chicken feathers to tie the bellows, and the big chicken feathers were used by the children to make shuttlecocks to play. Qin's mother also has a knife for shaving taro, this knife is rusty, only the edge is transparent. Qin Mu used two pieces of wood to clamp the blade to make the knife handle, and the knife handle was wrapped with wire, which was very flexible to use. The chickens pecked at the crops in the soil, and Qin's mother made a loud draft to drive the chickens. Seeing the chicken pecking at the crop in the soil, Qin's mother knocked it on the stone, making a loud sound, and shouting in her mouth at the same time, so the chicken was scared away. Qin's mother also planted branches in the soil, threaded bamboo shoot shells and hung them on the branches to catch chickens. Qin's mother is also very good at needlework, he can make old-fashioned clothes that button under the armpits, and he can also make the bowl-style hat of the Hai Zen master, but she has not been seen knitting sweaters. When Qin's mother was doing needlework, she asked her grandson Xiao Qin to thread the needle, and Xiao Qin could see the eye of the needle in her room, and she always asked him to take it to the bright place outside to thread the needle. The needle fell off, and Qin's mother asked Xiao Qin to sweep the dust on the ground with a broom to a pile before looking for the needle. Mother Qin's hair bun has a polished needle, which is her hairpin. When Qin's mother was unable to move, she could only walk back and forth between the bedroom and the hall. As she walked around the house, she would beat her around with her cane, or touch it with her hands, whatever it was, and she could feel it and say what she wanted to do with it: what should be dried, what could be used to feed the pigs. In the summer, it was very hot for Qin's mother to sit by the window, so she made curtains out of glue and old cloth. The chair was hard, and she made a very soft cushion on the chair. Even if her eyes are not good, Qin's mother can touch the bedroom and turn on the light in the dark night. During the power outage, Qin's mother had to shine a kerosene lamp for dinner, but before she finished eating, she asked Qin Guoxing to take out the lamp and use it, so that she could save kerosene.

Qin's mother has many means of healing. Someone in the family had a stomachache, so she rubbed wine and twisted meat at the crook of the patient's arm to relieve the pain. Qin's mother will also burn lamps for others to cure diseases, and use needles to treat stomach pain. When Qin's mother had a stomachache, she had to scald her stomach with bottled boiling water, or drink piping hot boiling water, or eat minced pepper. Qin's mother also has a bottle of medicinal wine, where there is pain on her body, she also likes to rub cool oil and eye drops. Many elderly people have a stroke and paralysis as soon as they fall, Qin's mother once fell from the dry eaves into the dam more than one meter high, not only did not have a stroke, but also the broken leg bone can be healed, this is really a miracle, is it not because she often burns incense and worships the Buddha? Qin's mother said that her throat had grown in the past, and she was treated everywhere. Later, Qin's mother's illness increased significantly, she slept in bed most of the time, her food consumption was decreasing day by day, her appetite deteriorated, and the family's economic level could not give him good nutrition. Under the baptism of time, Qin's mother is now very old and very weak.

When a relative came to visit and greet Qin's mother, she couldn't hear clearly, so she usually guessed one by one, and then held someone else's hand and asked non-stop. As she grew older, the children did not want to go into her house. Some children were dragged by adults to her house to call her Zuzu, and her bruised hands grabbed the child's hand and did not let go, so that she knew that her offspring were still thriving. Now, I wonder how much Zuzu's image still remains in the memory of her great-grandson?

These are the trivial matters of Qin's mother's life, Qin Guoxing is worried about the old mother's body, once there is any movement in her room, Qin Guoxing will come in to greet him, for fear that the old mother will have something long and short.

Boss Liu also entered the ear room, he didn't know that there were old people in the house, otherwise he would have brought gifts. Seeing Qin's mother's aging appearance, Boss Liu remembered his grandmother. Boss Liu greeted Qin's mother: "Auntie, are you okay with your old man?" ”

"Ah...... What are you talking about? Qin's mother asked.

Boss Liu said it again, but Qin's mother still couldn't hear it clearly.

"There is a guest at home, you must leave him at home to eat, is there any meat at home?" Qin's mother told her son Qin Guoxing.

"Mom, I know, you have a good rest, and call me again if you have something." Qin Guoxing said.

Coming out of Qin's mother's room, Boss Liu learned about some of Qin Guoxing's family and learned that he also had a son who was in college, and the family was very burdened. There is also an elderly mother at home. Boss Liu pondered for a while, and said to Qin Guoxing: "Add another 200,000, and the demolition compensation will be a total of one million!" Can't add more! ”
