China News Service, Wenzhou, September 16th (Fan Yubin, Pan Jinhua, Jin Chaodan) It was just bright, 73-year-old Zheng Xuelan started another busy day in Aodi Village, Yantou Town, Yongjia County, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, in addition to taking care of the family’s food. , 49-year-old daughter-in-law Zhou Caixiao also needs her care.

　　Seventeen years ago, because of a car accident, Zhou Caixiao unfortunately became a vegetable.

In the past 17 years, Zhou Caixiao’s husband has never left, and her mother-in-law has taken care of her for a long time. Her condition has gradually improved, and she has been able to walk independently and make some simple exchanges.

　　Right now, beside the Nanxi River, the rice is still green, the mountain village is quiet, and time is flowing.

　　Early in the morning, Zhou Caixiao’s father-in-law went to the field to do farm work, and her husband worked odd jobs in the village. There were only her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at home.

After 17 years of care, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have “cooperated” very tacitly: washing, rubbing, massaging... this is the beginning of a new day.

　　The family's change began in 2004. At the beginning of the first month of the lunar calendar that year, Zhou Caixiao and her relatives visited her sister who was hospitalized in a car accident. She just got off the bus on the road and was accidentally knocked down by another bus.

Zhou Caixiao suffered an impact on her brain and cervical spine.

At that time, it was identified by the Criminal Technology Inspection Institute of the Yongjia County Public Security Bureau as being grade 4 limb muscle weakness, incontinence, mental retardation, unresponsiveness, and severe limitation of activities related to daily life.

　　After the car accident, Zhou Caixiao was treated in the hospital for 8 months and did not get better, becoming an unconscious vegetative.

　　Seeing her young daughter-in-law seriously injured like this in a car accident, Zheng Xuelan was very distressed.

The treatment in the hospital failed. Finally, the family discussed and took the daughter-in-law home to take care of her. This burden fell on Zheng Xuelan's shoulders.

　　At that time, Zhou Caixiao's eldest daughter was 10 years old, his second daughter was 9 years old, and his youngest son was 6 years old.

　　Faced with her young grandchildren and vegetative daughter-in-law, Zheng Xuelan has to take care of Zhou Caixiao's daily life, as well as three young grandchildren and granddaughters.

　　Although the pressure is not small, Zheng Xuelan firmly believes that miracles will happen if you take good care and persist in rehabilitation.

　　In order to allow her daughter-in-law to regain her body consciousness, Zheng Xuelan kneaded her numb limbs, beat her back muscles, and kept talking to her to awaken her brain consciousness.

　　The effort paid off. A miracle happened. Two or three years later, Zhou Caixiao began to slowly wake up.

　　Seeing her daughter-in-law improve, Zheng Xuelan has confidence in restoring her body's motor functions.

　　Since then, Zheng Xuelan, who is thin, will help her daughter-in-law practice sitting up and standing every day.

　　Nowadays, although Zhou Caixiao's eyesight is unclear, she can take a few steps slowly while her mother-in-law is supporting her, and she can also communicate with others simply. Zheng Xuelan is also pleased with her hard work.

In order to take care of her daughter-in-law, she rarely visits relatives and friends in recent years, and never travels far.

　　In the past 17 years, Zheng Xuelan has white hair, years of fatigue, and suffering from various chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Her health has been greatly deteriorated, but she has no complaints.

　　"She used to treat me well, but now she needs me, I will naturally treat her well." Zheng Xuelan said.

　　Zhou Caixiao is also a native of Aodi Village. She married to her husband's family at the age of 23. Her family is not rich, but her husband is honest and treats her well.

　　Since she married in, Zhou Caixiao has been filial and virtuous, and can do everything in the heart of the elderly.

Zhou Caixiao's parents have passed away. Zheng Xuelan said that her daughter-in-law became disabled and she couldn't bear it. "I will treat her as my own daughter. As long as I am still alive, I will take care of her."

　　Today, Zhou Caixiao's children have grown up and go out to work, and the family economy has gradually improved in recent years.

Zhou Caixiao's monthly medical expenses cost thousands of yuan, and her son sometimes pays her salary to the family to subsidize the family.

　　Zheng Xuelan's deeds of taking care of her daughter-in-law day and night is also a good story in the local area. Villagers all praised: "Take care of her daughter-in-law every day, and she will cook whatever she wants to eat." "Such a good mother-in-law is hard to find with a lantern."

　　"The villagers often talk about her being so good to her sick daughter-in-law, and we must treat our own daughter-in-law as well as our descendants." Chen Dongmei, party branch secretary of Aodi Village, said frankly that her good mother-in-law Zheng Xuelan is As an example of the villagers of Aodi Village, she used her actions to bring the good atmosphere in the village.

Because of true love in the world, life has miracles.
