92-year-old Granny Helps Multiple Nanny At Home Learn To Become A Gold Medalist

Sun Shiying’s spacious living room was almost full of reporters. They took a video camera and held a voice recorder to record the 92-year-old woman's every move.

The reporters were attracted by such a community news: From 1985 until now, Sun Shiying had hired about 20 baby sitters before and after, and she helped several of them to learn skills ranging from anatomy, physiology and endocrine knowledge to English, sewing, and accounting. . From the rural areas, these small nannies who came to work in cities and out of the Sun family have now become “gold medals” with a monthly salary of nearly 10,000 yuan. Some have become junior English teachers, and some have become corporate accountants. They have embarked on their own in the past and did not expect it. path of.

In the news, people called Sun Shiying "Spring Silkworm Grandma," and she also boarded a TV station "Good People List." The old man with silver hair can feel that he just did something that was normal. “When they arrived at my house, they were teenage girls. If they are not in a bad family, they will not leave their parents and schools so early. If they are eager to change their destiny, I will help them.”

"These little girls are like my granddaughter."

“Spring Silkworm Grandma” now lives with her daughter and son-in-law in a three-room, two-room house outside Beijing’s North Fourth Ring. Since the daughter insisted on doing "Dink," the average age of the family of three has exceeded 70. According to Xiao He, a nanny who once spent more than one year here, this is a "typical old family."

In the 1980s, Sun Shiying retired from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Zhengzhou Railway Central Hospital. At that time, she lived in Zhengzhou and was plagued by heart disease, high blood pressure and other diseases all the year round. Then she began to ask the babysitter.

Since then, the time has passed more than 20 years. Sun Shiying’s family has also changed nearly 20 nannies. But as long as they work here for a few months, the old man who had suffered a stroke and had breast cancer always remembered the names of each of them and even kept pictures of some of them.

"An Fang, Ai Ju, Feng Ru, Bang Yan, Xiao He..." She stretched out her wrinkled fingers and said one at a time. "I don't have many people in my family. My son immigrated to the USA, so these little girls are like Like my granddaughter."

Aung, a 18-year-old girl in Henan Province, was the first babysitter in the family. In the old lady's opinion, although she has graduated from junior high school, she is not very concerned about continuing to learn cultural knowledge. However, Sun Shiying also found that An Fang likes to do sewing work, so on the basis of the salary of 60 yuan, she also subsidizes her 15 yuan per month to the sewing school.

Tanju is a girl who loves learning and she particularly likes to learn English. Sun Shiying, who once studied at a church school, bought a tape recorder for her and taught her spoken language. She even volunteered to say to tansy: “Then we’ll start conversation (conversation)!” Later, Amy continued to study secondary school and college. He became an English teacher in a middle school in Henan.

However, the old man is still like a phoenix. Feng Ru's mother is a second wife. She has several half-brothers at home. At the age of seven, when his father died, this mother and daughter appeared to be more. She only read the second grade of primary school and was forced to drop out of school. She soon entered the city to work.

The days of the elderly can be a leisurely time in the girl's life. At that time, Sun Shiying and his wife’s children could all take care of themselves. If Feng had only to do some simple chores, he could earn 80 yuan per month. For a long time, Sun Shiying discovered that even if the daily character is not recognized, she taught her to read, write, and teach her the letter.

In the past, “semi-literally illiterate” girls began to write happily back to the countryside and asked their mothers, “I’m fine now.”

But it was not long before her nephew had a child. Her brother told her to go back and help. Before leaving, Grandma gave her a wool coat and she cried on her grandmother's shoulder. Waiting for her life is not difficult to predict - return home, give your family a babysitter, get a penny salary, just to solve accommodation and meals.

"The child was too bitter." Sitting in the wooden chair at home, the old man carrying his back remembered and long sighed. She had received a letter from a phoenix, and the little literate girl wrote in her letter: "I am in pain."

Sun Shiying made a long-distance call to Feng's brother: "She has wages for me, but if you go home, she must also give her some pocket money."

But she does not know if her phone is working. The old man later moved to Beijing to live with her daughter and changed her postal address. She could no longer receive the New Year greeting card sent every year.

"I can talk to her and stay with me."

Today, at Sun’s home, the 31-year-old Zhang Chong is a babysitter who has just come for more than two months. In fact, this is the first time she went out to work outside the country after her marriage and she first entered Beijing.

In this huge city, Zhang Chong, who is short hair, fat, and does not love to talk with outsiders, is an extremely humble person. She was "changed". In the past, her husband opened a bus in a city in the south and earned a good income. But in the past two years, her husband was found to have a malignant tumor. He can only return to his rural home in Henan Zhumadian to take care of two children and let his wife go out to work. When it comes to the condition of her family, she folded her hands over her lap and looked calm as if she were talking about someone else's story.

However, Sun Shiying knows that Zhang Chong hopes to make more money, just like the small nanny Bangyan who spent several years in this home – she is now a “gold medalist”.

Although the old man could not remember how many years Bangyan had worked in her home, she still remembered the first time she saw the girl in 1992. She looks handsome, but only 1.38 meters tall, when the door came alive.

A few hours before coming to the Sun family, the little girl was hurrying around in front of the housekeeping company. In her hometown, she was often beaten by her drunken father. At that time, "Yang was too bad-tempered," Bangyan ran away with his cousin who was a nanny in Beijing. However, the domestic market in that era was far less open than today, and the company only received people with introduction letters. The girl with "only an ID card" was dumbfounded.

She met Sun Shiying's family at the door of the company. When she heard that her education was a junior high school graduate, they brought her back home. Here, Pan Yan, who was not steamed at the beginning of the season, learned from cooking. She also has to strictly implement Sun Shiying's hygiene standards. "Transparency and urination are different," the old doctor said seriously. "If I was in a hospital, I would have to touch my horns in my room with my white gloves. The gloves do not change color."

Recalling this, Bangyan giggled. "Actually, she never did so."

Sometimes she feels that her grandmother is "very strict and not too strict," but more often, she admits that these experiences are helpful to her future.

What's more, in any case, "I can talk to her and stay with me." In the evening, they can talk from 9 o'clock to 11 o'clock. Sometimes, if Bian Yan finds that Sun Shiying’s mood is not good, he will ask: “Or will you move your room?”

The so-called “moving” is just like the way many housewives change their moods. At this time, it seems that both the grandchildren and the grandchildren will laboriously switch furniture to their new positions. "Grandpa thinks that what we do is a bit ridiculous, but we both still find it quite interesting." Bangyan laughed again.

"She is very kind to me."

The turning point for Bang Yan’s nominal impact occurred two years after she came to Beijing. At that time, she was already familiar with the general chores. According to Sun Shiying, Bangyan has a lot of free time every day. "It's better to come and learn something, and you don't waste anything."

As early as the 1930s, Sun Shiying passed the National Central High Quality Midwifery School in Nanjing. There she met Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao, and Zhou Enlai cordially called her “a small fellow”. Sometimes she and her classmates are invited to Zhou Jia’s “Toothache Festival”. When Guo Moruo’s wife Yu Liqun’s production, Sun Shiying was apprenticed in the delivery room, and later became a good friend with Yu Liqun, who was not far behind.

In Anti-Rights, Sun Shiying was accompanied by her husband Liu Qixing and decentralized to work in Zhengzhou. Until she retired, she practiced medicine in obstetrics and gynecology. Therefore, the old doctor wanted to teach Bangyan's "anatomy and physiology."

When recalling that story, the old man remembers that this was mainly because Bangyan once complained to her: “In the countryside, I don’t know what to do if I am sick.” In Bangyan’s opinion, he didn’t have a bit of an idea at the time. The meaning of learning "anatomy and physiology" is even the opposite. "At first, I was so uninterested. I was not a doctor. What did I learn?"

After all, the time was empty. Bangyan thought, "It's okay, anyway, to learn something."

There are always two afternoons a week, and the old and the young learn on the dining table in the living room. The content of the study includes: how the menstruation came, how the baby came into being, knowledge of the endocrine system, and even disinfection procedures and nutrition. Although it is an "amateur school," Sun Shiying does not relax the requirements in the classroom. The only student must take notes for each class. He must pass the test before the next class, until "Well, this class has passed." It's the end.

The students who had just started to bite their heads gradually found joy in this class. When a pregnant woman came to visit her at home, Sun Shiying took out a stethoscope to help pregnant women check and also let Bangyan practice one. That was the first time she heard fetal heart. "I feel so funny."

Bangyan did not know that these seemingly inaccessible knowledge played a key role in her future life. At that time, Bang Yan was still confused about his future path. She was only in her twenties, had a low level of education, had lost contact with her parents, and had left her hometown. She felt she was "not at all." According to Grandma's grandmother, she is a girl who is "self-conscious and proud."

The old woman wanted to introduce her to her. The height of Bangyan has become a problem, and three men have disagreed. The driver of a relative of the Sun family, although not tall, said: “I’m so short, I have to find a high one.” The fourth man eventually became the husband of Bangyan. It was a man with a height of 1.8 meters. His cousin was a classmate with Sun Shiying's daughter. He also came to work in the city when she was a teenager. The family conditions are not very good.

In 1999, they got married. There was only one table for the banquet. Sun Shiying and his family helped them with the purchase. There is only one cousin in the relatives of Bangyan in the city, and Grandma's grandmother is considered to be her family. The old man will also use his 25-inch color TV as a dowry.

"I can't live without people here. You're all married, and you can't tie you here." Sun Shiying thinks this way, and is finally separated from the "grandchildren" who have been with him for several years. After Bonny gave birth to a daughter, she started to work in Beijing on the moon. At present, her monthly salary has risen to over 9,000 yuan.

Whenever you mention Bang Yan, the pride of the old man's expression is like talking about his own child: “She is now earning a lot of money each month!” However, she added, sadly, “I hear that I can’t sleep at night. It's too hard."

As for Ban Yan, she is 40 years old this year, but she still calls the elderly from time to time to ask her about the problems her mother has encountered and to help her grumble. She said: "Grandma's change to me is too big."

Someone asked Sun Shiying why he had to help a babysitter at home. The old man will bring up a story 20 years ago. On the first day when Bangyan had just arrived at her home, Sun Shiying was admitted to the Armed Police General Hospital with a heart attack. Although there was an empty bed in the ward, Bangyan did not sleep all night and sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, staring at the old man. She does not know what is a heart attack, nor does she know how to care for this disease, but she "is afraid to be afraid of falling asleep and not hearing you."

"She is very kind to me." The old man patted his chest and said.

"People and people should be equal"

The story about "Spring Silkworm Grandma" and the nannies was actually found in a book called "History." This is an autobiography written by Sun Shiying’s 90-year-old man and tells the story of her husband’s life.

In this book, the content related to the babysitter only accounts for half a page. The old man wrote: “I think young girls, junior high school culture, and work are not easy... to do family services... I can train and help them too.” She suspects that it may be because the book was given to the party branch The members of the branch found a special section of this and notified the reporter that she had received media attention.

Although the story of helping the babysitter was only a small part of it, Sun Shiying felt that it was the life and experience described in that book that made him a person that nannies face today.

She was born in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province in 1921. Her grandmother's house was the silver floor and she was the second-richest businessman in Xuzhou City. The father once participated in the Northern Expedition, served as head of the team, and later served as the picket chief and tax director of the Salt Bureau in Xuzhou. Therefore, Sun Shiying had a good education in kindergartens, church schools, and high-quality midwifery schools.

Her husband Liu Qixing and her childhood. Liu is a student of Huang Yanpei. He used to serve as the supervisor of the Kuomintang's Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Zhejiang provinces and the director of Nanjing Education. Liu Mu joined the Allies in 1909 and was elected as the representative of the Kuomintang of the Nationalist Party in the capacity of “revolutionary elders”.

It may be difficult for such two families to imagine that their children actually joined the CCP’s underground party. When they held a wedding in Nanjing, they later went to congratulate Zhang Quan, a former KMT veteran in Taiwan who was the “Secretary of the Presidential Office”. Li Zongren and Song Meiling also sent special representatives to the delegation. Just as these KMT big people entered the wedding hall on the ground floor, the underground party was holding a secret meeting in the bride dressing room on the second floor of Sun Shiying. Later, Liu Qixing went away from his father and joined the Communist Party. He even made several newspapers.

In order to escape the persecution of the Chiang Kai-shek government, this young couple once hid in Hong Kong. In April 1949, on the eve of the regime's change, they sailed north and returned to Beijing.

Today, people come into this family with curiosity about the story of "Spring Silkworm Grandma" and learn more about the legendary past. The old man Liu Qi passed away a few years ago. It was more than half a century after the prestigious Granddaughter to publicize the days when the Anti-Japanese War took 60 miles a day to cry on their feet. Now that we have to go out, we have to ask the old lady who is in a wheelchair to talk about it back to those old times.

She said that she has been influenced by two people throughout her life. One is her grandmother. It is a kind of former Qianqing woman. If there is a beggar who comes to the house to ask for food, the hostess will personally send the good food to her. The other is Zhou Enlai, her “hometown”. “He is a man who has no children but no daughter but no selfishness.”

"People and people should be equal," Sun Shiying said. This is the belief that she has been adhering to today after participating in the revolution.

This year coincided with the 55th anniversary of the "Anti-Rightist Movement." She had received the telephone call from Li Rui, the former Deputy Minister of the Central Organization Department, and hoped that she would write about Liu Qixing being decentralized in the "anti-rightist" movement. When talking about this topic, the old lady, who had been very calm, admitted that only in 1957 she had “some regrets”.

“We did not oppose the Japanese in order to defeat slaves, and for democracy and freedom, we opposed the Kuomintang and joined the Communist Party,” the old party member said slowly.

When talking about why we should devote our efforts to nurturing the nanny at home, Sun Shiying always replied without hesitation: “The little girls came out to work when they were 18 or 18 years old. If my child was 17 years old, I would treasure her.”

It was only after several chats that she told reporters that when her child was in that age, it was at the time of the "Cultural Revolution." She was isolated and locked up in a study class, guarded by six young people. 200 watts of light bulbs each night hangs overhead, making her unable to sleep. The old underground party member Liu Qixing packed a small piece of transparent paper into the corner of the lunch box each time he delivered meals. Sometimes he read, "Be sure to insist on telling the truth, don't be afraid of deterrence." Sometimes it reads, "Be honest. Good meal."

"The young people who guarded me, how can they have such underground work experience?" The old man wrote in his autobiography. However, due to the family's misfortune, her child was seriously ill.

"I'm sad at times and want to go home, but I'm not willing to go back."

Not every nanny is willing to learn anything. Sun Shiying categorized the nannies who came to work at home as three kinds: Some young people have strong learning abilities. “I am willing to train her and do not miss anything.” Some middle-aged people can learn nutritional knowledge and dietary supplements; some others Not interested in learning, it is "never forced."

She often said that she is a person who is not very good-tempered and requires a relatively high level of performance. In her home, the doorknob must be disinfected every day, and the answer to the question cannot be equivocal, “probably, almost,” but only “yes” or “no”. Because of her doctor for decades, her nose was particularly sensitive. Once, the nanny passed by her side, and she smelled a little odor and immediately sent the other person to the hospital to treat gynecological diseases. Learning also failed to make everyone happy. In 2005, only 20-year-old Xiao He graduated from a computer school in his hometown in Gansu Province and later went to Beijing. She could not find a job related to her own profession. She had no choice but to think about "transition first to individual homes." In this way, she spent more than two years as a babysitter at Sun Shiying’s home.

Until today, she was reluctant to mention her own experience. In the conversation, she rarely mentioned the word “nanny”. Sometimes she simply used “this line” instead. Xiao He acknowledged that he "has conflicted with this line from school." A cousin with only a primary school education is also working as a babysitter. This may be one of the reasons for her conflict.

One day, she walked down the street and was stuffed with a cram school flyer. Looking at the subjects inside, she felt that the "Accounting Class" looked very good. Upon returning home, Grandma also encouraged her choice and personally sent her to register. While working at her grandmother's house, she took classes at school and persisted for more than a year. She also took a professional certificate. Then she completely left “this line” and became an accountant in a company in Beijing.

According to Xiao He, "grandma is a typical good person." Until now, she still went to see her grandmother every week, helped her family pay telephone charges, opened the Internet, and confided to her her own heart. Sometimes she would go back with her boyfriend, but she didn't say that she had done a babysitter in this home. Instead, she called the daughter of the old man a "groom."

She still hasn't lived the life she wants. She later discovered that she actually does not like the job of accounting. He has a salary of more than 3,000 yuan a month and is struggling in a big city like Beijing. Xiaohe refused to meet with reporters. On the phone, her voice still sounded confused: "Is this kind of security? I don't know. I am sometimes upset and want to go home, but I'm not willing to go back."

The month of the moon is a firm foothold in the city. Her income is considerable, and her husband has also found relatively stable security work in a residential property company. The woman who is laughing nowadays doesn’t really like the name “Brilliant” on the identity card. When she introduces herself, she will solemnly say, “My name is the state of An Bang and the swallow of Yanzi.”

It seems that life is moving in a better direction. Because they can't take care of children, their daughters were sent back to Bangyan’s hometown, Qingchuan Sichuan, in the third grade of elementary school.

As Sun Shiying’s old people know, in this city, the contradiction between the nanny and the employer exists at all times. Bang Yan was no exception.

Last year, she was hired to a triple family. The three babies were “very small” and only 3 pounds, 3 pounds and 3 pounds and half pounds when they were born. "It's only a bit bigger." Bangyan had his hands outstretched. She took care of the triplets and grew up a little, because when the three little boys rarely sleep at the same time, she will be awakened by a cry when she takes a nap.

During that time, Bangyan was really tired. On the full moon day, the three children slept at the same time for two hours. It was only for the brief two hours that Bangyan felt "it was so happy." Young parents are very satisfied with her and even hope to hire her for a whole year. But the triplet's grandmother hated it very much. Bangyan has always wondered why this is the case, but on the basis of speculation, the reason is probably that his own feeding method is different from that of the elderly. She was first taken away by the old lady and then was taken home by the young couple.

Once, the employer gave her a vacation back to her hometown. She did not dare to stay with her daughter for a few more days and rushed back to Beijing. I did not expect that she was completely taken over by her grandmother upon her return. The young father's text message to Bang Yan said that he will let the child grow up and remember the kindness of the Yuesao, but he "is really unable to stop the parents from acting madly."

The family may not know that just after the time Bangyan and his daughter were separated, the little girl who had just finished fifth grade cried for a long time. In the text sent to her mother, she wrote:

"Mom, I will not let you worry about it. I will study hard and wait until I enter Peking University in the future to be with you. Mom I will not bother you often, but I must always contact! What is your mother? Does the way make me think of you but don't cry? Mom, if I think you can't help but call you to bother you, please don't be bored (I'm sorry) I'm bored? Well, mother, good-bye."

In Bang Yan's wallet, in addition to a photo of a family of three in his hometown, pictures of triplets have been kept. She always felt that even for her own children, she did not "so much care, so pay." At the time of the Chinese New Year this year, when she was not at home, she specifically went to see a triplet who had grown taller and stronger.

But this matter was still transmitted to the ears of the triplet grandma. She called Bangyan and only expressed one meaning in the swearing sentence: "Our children don't have to look at you."

Bangyan silently hung up the phone.

"I have a lot more granddaughters. This is a blessing."

In fact, in the family of Sun Shiying’s old man, there is no contradiction between the employer and the nanny.

There was a “rogue” nanny here. “Grumpy”, drinking the grandson who came back from the USA. "I am old and I do not want to hear her speak loudly." Sun Shiying said. Another nanny, her husband bets on money, and has an extra-marital affair, she is like "crazy." Sometimes, the old man cares for the nanny to buy a box of Hua Su tablets. The man will secretly get a plate of medicine from the box. Such small problems accumulated, and the elderly had to dismiss them. But in any case, if the other person wants to return home, she will always buy a return train ticket for them.

Sometimes, the old lady would think of Xiaoping. For the gift of 900 yuan, the girl was booked by her father when she was 9 years old. “So what kind of marriage do you have for such a small child!” Sun Shiying was very angry after hearing this incident. She told Xiaoping that earning money must not be spent indiscriminately, and must be done quickly to get back the gift money.

Xiaoping was also a girl who didn't even go out to work on a primary school. Next to her grandmother, she learned to use a calculator and learn to read. Later, she wrote a six or seven hundred-word diary every day to record her "do something I want to do every day."

One day, Xiaoping went shopping to buy clothes, and suddenly ran home in panic. "Grandma, I took someone's clothes." She told her old man. Sun Shiying could not believe that Ding would do such a thing. She asked the girl to return her clothes immediately, but the girl refused to cry: "I can't give it back. They'll call the police to catch me."

Before long, Xiaoping left this home. When she left, she gave her a diary to her grandmother.

All these unsatisfactory things did not make "Spring Silkworm Grandma" doubt her own initial thoughts. She still believes that "girls would have the opportunity to change their fate. I would put them around and hurt them." Like Zhang Chong, who is working at her side now, her husband has a serious illness. The old lady understands that she hopes to do a moonshatter like Bangyan and earn more money.

On a recent day, Zhang Chong pushed her to the market with a wheelchair. She bought back a long-handed frog doll. At home, Sun Shiying used the doll as a "teaching device." "You see, gently hold the baby's ear while taking a bath." She began meticulously demonstrating to the nanny how to "ring the tiger's mouth on the back of the head and hold the thumb and middle finger on the child's ear."

It may not be long before Zhang Chong will use her training power to go further. “Sometimes, the nanny hired him very sadly, and my family has become a training ground.” The old, weak-looking man sighed, but then he was happy again. “They went out from me and most of them thought of it here as The family will often come back to see me. I have a lot more 'Granddaughter'. This is a blessing."
