Try this... and let me know if it worked for you.

class Base

 def age
     return 18
 end

 def getOldAge
     age
 end
end

class Der < Base

  # alias the ancestor age methods before overriding
  alias :base_age :age

  def age
      return 19
  end

  def getOldAge
    base_age
  end
end

ob = Der.new()
ob.getOldAge()
