In Nanwei Township, Ruicheng, Shanxi, there is a 60-year-old couple. They don't want to take their children to the buildings in the city, but stick to the old caves dug by two generations, live with their 90-year-old mother, install cameras in her caves and monitor her every move at all times.
The husband of the old couple is called Shi. He is 64 years old. He was a soldier when he was young, and his wife was two years younger than him. The husband and wife have two sons and a daughter, both married and living in this city. "My son asked us to live in the city, but we didn't go because there was an old mother to take care of at home. Besides, how comfortable is the building in the cave?" Stone said to.
Shi's mother is 9 1 year old. Eight years ago, she was paralyzed by illness. After several years of treatment, the recovery effect is not very good. At present, her brain has begun to become chaotic, and she often climbs down the kang when people are not looking. In order to prevent his mother from bumping, Shi installed a camera in his mother's cave so that he could observe her every move at any time. The picture shows Shi's mother sitting on the heatable adobe sleeping platform in the cave, and a camera is installed above the kiln door.
"My mother is old, in poor health and sometimes emotionally unstable. Because she doesn't want to live in a kiln with us, she lives alone in the cave next door to us. " Shi said, "She dragged her sick body to live in our own house. What if she stumbles on the kang? Later, I thought of installing a camera and putting it in our kiln, so it is very convenient to look after her. "
The picture shows the monitor in the stone couple's cave, from which you can clearly see the mother's every move.
Shi introduced that he was the second child at home, his brother had passed away, and his mother had been taken care of by him and his brother in turn. "Mother worked hard all her life, and now she is old and ill. It is time for us to be filial to our children. We have done it and are setting an example for our children. " The picture shows a stone sitting in a cave scraping with imitation porcelain. He said that his son, who sells building materials in the city, shaved it, and he wanted them to live comfortably.
Stone cave covers an area of more than half an acre and has seven holes. He lives in a hole with his wife and his mother lives in a hole. Other caves have their own arrangements as guest rooms, kitchens, chickens and sundries. "This yard has been dug since my father's generation, and then I went on digging. Two generations built this yard. Therefore, we have feelings for caves, and children let us move to cities. How can you give up? Moreover, the caves are warm in winter and cool in summer, and they don't need stoves or air conditioners, so they are comfortable to live in. " The picture shows the Shiyan Cave Courtyard.
In summer, in order to facilitate the couple and their mother to take a bath and wipe their bodies, Shi made a shower device in the yard. "The water in the bucket can be used by three people for one day," he said.
Filial children set a good example for the younger generation.
