The thoughts of the daughter
Wang Henian
It has been more than three months since my mother-in-law died, but my wife still wakes up crying in her dreams.
It was the worst time of the epidemic in Wuhan, the whole city was fully dormant, and the daughter wanted to visit her ninety-year-old mother in Wuchang, across the river, which was also a distant luxury. Due to the basic loss of her mother's hearing, she could no longer express her inner thoughts on the phone, and she could only silently pray for the safety of her mother in her heart!
Finally looking forward to the day when she was unsealed, her first thought was to cross the river as soon as possible to see her old mother. Because he could not talk directly to his mother, he could only tell him through his little brother who lived with his mother.
Unexpectedly, just out of the subway mouth, the old mother who had been waiting at the subway entrance for a long time slowly walked over, and without saying anything more, the smile that bloomed on the wrinkles of her face explained everything.
In fact, the reason why the old mother wants to see her daughter is very simple, that is, to talk about home affairs face to face. In the heart of the old mother, the new achievements of the son, the current living conditions of the grandchildren, and the academic situation of the grandchildren have become topics that she will temporarily think of. In this way, a chat is the old half a day, and when it comes to separation, it seems that there are still many words that have not been finished...
The daughter went down to the first floor, looked back, the familiar face, the thin figure, still leaning against the window on the third floor...
Sometimes, when she meets the old mother who is still in good health, she will follow her to the station, and when she sees her daughter get on the train, she will constantly wave goodbye.
Then, in the new anticipation, carefully waiting for another reunion.
When the daughter's figure fails to appear as scheduled at the subway mouth due to repeated epidemics, the elderly often carry a disappointment in their name. Because, in the hearts of the old people, the mother and daughter together is the happiest time. Even if it is just a greeting, a few small talk, it is a family affection that is more expensive than gold.
However, with the departure of the old mother, even this brief reunion has become a heavenly person who is close at hand but thousands of miles away. Blood is thicker than water, and now all that remains is endless thoughts.
In the face of the past, I can only pray in my heart: If your mother-in-law has a spirit in heaven, please let them stay away from grief as soon as possible, protect your children and grandchildren well, and bless them with all the goodness!
