Family letters, see literally

Faith is an important way of expressing one another in human relationships. A home letter is a letter from home or sent to the family after going out. In the past, people wrote home letters in a set of formats that were customary: the title or name of the recipient was written at the beginning of the letter, and the greeting was often followed by "see the words as they are". After the content of the letter was written, a new line was written "This Greeting" and "Salute". Sign the sender's name and date at the end of the letter.

After her sister got married, her mother lived alone at home. At that time, there were very few telephones in the village, and after I graduated from college and worked, I had been relying on family letters to contact my mother for a long time. It wasn't until I gave her a phone call that I ended my years of writing letters with my mother.

When I returned to my hometown, my mother once said to me about the depressed mood when waiting for the letter, "You have not written for a long time, I hope that the letter will not sleep well, even if I can't eat well, I will go outside the village to wait for the postman, and when I am tired, my legs can't stand, so I will find a stone to sit on." "My mother is older and has small feet, and she can't stand standing for a long time."

I remember my mother also said: "No matter how good you are when you are outside, don't write for a long time, even if you write a few words on the letter and write a few lines to report that you are safe, I will be relieved." These words of my mother made me feel guilty, and my letter gave too much emotional meaning and longing in her heart. Since then, he has changed his mistakes and sent more letters to his mother's family, so that she can "see the letter as it is".

My mother was naturally happy to receive my letter, but at the same time it caused her some trouble. She once said to me: "I can't read, I received your letter, I don't know what the twisted words in the letter are written, it's like seeing a dumb son." I think that when I received the letter, my mother was only half happy, and at best she saw her son's back. How good it would be if she could read, even if she could even read Menga guess, and with her character and eagerness, she would not care about three seven twenty-one, and immediately tear open the envelope and read it to herself.

It was a pleasure to meet the "dumb son", but where to find a "translator" also made her think a lot. My mother said, "When I find someone to read the letter, I am very anxious, but I am also anxious." During the day, I put the letter in my pocket and string it around the village, listening to the movements of people's homes, looking at the looks on people's faces, and only when people have time do they open their mouths.

The letter in my hand lasts a long time and will get wet with sweat. If you really can't find anyone, your heart will be even more depressed. One moment I thought that what was written in the letter must be a good thing, and the next I thought that the letter might be bad news. At night, press the letter under your pillow and hold it like you were a child in my arms. Although it is better to hug a "dumb son", as long as you go home, it is better than anything. "I think, probably in my mother's eyes, I will always be a swaddled baby, a toddler who needs to be reminded by adults not to fall down at any time."

In order to alleviate my mother's anxiety when she receives letters in the future, I have taken the opportunity to act gently and exhortatively, and the letters to you are to talk about home, to greet your old man's body and the crops in the field. Tell you to spend it when you have money, and don't make it difficult for yourself. Feel free to read the letter to a primary school student and know the approximate meaning. Mother said, how can it work, in case the elementary school students have words they don't know and mispronounce them? What if there's something in the letter that you don't want anyone to know? What if the mouth of the letter is not strict, and the content of the letter is spoken?

Listening to her "just in case" one after another, I was moved, contradicted, and my eyes were moist. For many years, I had been with my mother and separated from her, and writing letters was the main way to contact her. Originally, it was a common thing to send letters and other letters to read and reply, but she did not expect that a thin family letter had caused her a problem, causing so much pressure and trouble. The mother, who was outspoken, open-minded, and never pretentious, had such a complicated and heavy uneasiness in order to believe. My mother's words made me feel as if I could hear her sizzling heart, but I didn't know it before, and I never paid attention to it, and I regretted that my feelings were so dull.

My mother gave me letters that she dictated, found someone to ghostwrite, and read the letter to her again after writing it and finalizing it. My mother said that it was more difficult to find someone to write a letter than to find someone to read it, "Alas, it is difficult to ask for someone!" Walk around East Street with your letter, stringing strings in West Hutong. Everyone has things at home, it takes time to write letters, and it takes time to wait for other people's idleness, look at people's faces, and find a mouth that is tighter. I was also worried that the person who wrote the letter would not be able to write all the words I wanted to say, and missed the important words..." It turned out that my mother not only had to spend a lot of thought on asking for a letter to me, but also tasted the taste of asking for help again and again.

Later, most of the people who wrote letters to my mother revealed a secret with similar content to me. They asked my mother, what do you want to write to your son? She would usually say, "You just pick up what you listen to." He said that I was in good health, that the family did not worry about eating and wearing, that the crops in the self-kept land were growing vigorously, and that the chickens, ducks, geese and dogs in the family were very good, so that he should not worry about it. Tell him to pay more attention to his body. "It can be seen that although the content of my mother's correspondence with me is not the same, there is one thing in common, that is, they basically report good news and no bad news. It all stems from the love for each other, and the peace of mind it brings is a kind of enjoyment that we cherish in our hearts.

"The mother is worried, and the mother is not worried." This old familiar saying, the first half of the sentence is unquestionable, and the second half of the sentence makes the children sound a little backwards. If you think about it, there is some truth to it. Under normal circumstances, the care of children for their mothers is always less than the multi-party care and care of mothers for their children from childhood to adulthood, which is a common social phenomenon from ancient times to the present.

Everything we have is given by our mother, and all we can give back to her is only a little. There is one kind of faith in the world that always exudes sweet love, and that is the faith of the mother.

There is one kind of faith in the world that mothers always look forward to the most, and that is the child's letter.

Now that communications have developed, many people are no longer willing to take the time to write letters carefully. Mothers in the world are easy to satisfy, and the children who are far away from the high-flying sky, usually take time to dial the phone, send messages, talk to the mother more and watch videos, which will surely make the mother happy.
