It's Mother's Day again丨 Did you say "I love you" to your mom?

BEIJING, May 8 (Xinhua) -- Today is Mother's Day. Someone once said that of all the key words about motherhood, the one we should mention the most, but the most easily forgotten, is "I love you."

So, did you say "I love you" to your mom?

Love is my holding on to you in your old age

Mr. Liu, 53, came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying a dish when his 86-year-old mother was waddling through the living room.

"I looked at my mother's hunchback and naturally said to her, 'Mommy I love you.'" Mr. Liu's voice was smiling: "After she heard it, she grinned and laughed, looked happy, and said, 'I didn't hurt this son in vain.'" ”

Mr. Liu's mother is very popular in the village, and everyone likes to call her "Ying Sister". Ying Jie raised 6 children, and she pulled them up with hard work. In Mr. Liu's heart, his mother is a "heroic mother": "She has been hard-working, hard-working and tenacious all her life, and often teaches us to do more good deeds and take the right path." ”

In the era when Mr. Liu grew up, there was an extreme shortage of materials, so there was something that he remembered for many years: "At that time, the main meal of our family was to cover sweet potatoes with large white rice, because there was not enough food to eat. When I was in junior high school, once when I came home, my mother secretly pulled me into a room and brought out a piece of meat for me to eat. That piece of meat was left for several days, and it was before our family had relatives come to buy a piece of meat for hospitality. At that time, meat was a luxury, and my mother didn't eat it to save me, let me eat it in front of her, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life. ”

As a post-60s uncle, Mr. Liu laughed and said that he rarely said "I love you" to his mother bluntly. "I gave her a hug most of the time and said, 'Mom, you've worked hard,'" but this attempt was also a good experience for him, "At first it was a little unaccustomed, a little embarrassed, but thinking of my mother's love for me when I was a child, I can naturally express it." ”

In his heart, there is a secret wish: "I think my mother is the best mother in the world, if there is a next life, I will still be my mother's son, this is my happiest thing." 」 ”

After the 90s, the girl became a designer after graduation. Floating in Shanghai, her hometown is far away, and her relationship with her mother is very close. "In the past, when I was around my mother, I was more rebellious, and I often disagreed with her, so I wouldn't say things like 'Mommy I love you' and 'Mommy I miss you.'"

"After work, I am farther away from home, but I will want to express these things to her more. Now that you have encountered many different things and have seen many different news, I feel that your emotions should still be expressed to your family in time, and do not skimp on love and miss. What is surprising is that her mother will also fully respond to her daughter's love: "Sometimes my mother will send me a lot of kissing and hugging memes, saying 'Baby mother misses you'." 」 When the festival will also send me a small red packet, saying that my mother invites you to eat breakfast, I will also return a small red envelope to her, wishing my mother good health, so there is still more communication. ”

In the early years, Weiwei's mother ran a flower shop alone, and the daily life of dealing with flowers and plants was actually very hard. "I remember when she was going to send a large bonsai, but she couldn't contact the tricycle master. My mother pedaled the tricycle herself and carried the heavy plant up to the 5th floor by herself. I was young at the time, and I thought my mother was so good, but now that I think about it, I would have cried. But my mother didn't say a word at the time, and moved back to carry out the next order. ”

"Mom is worth learning from me, she has experienced a lot, but she can still maintain an optimistic and positive attitude towards life." Wei Wei's blessing to her mother was short and sincere: "I hope my mother can be healthy, safe, smooth, smiling, happy." ”

There's a kind of love called "sticking to you."

Xiao Chen, who is the same age as Weiwei, also adheres to the concept of "love should be frank".

"Mom, I love you."

"I usually say to my mother' 'I love you', I am very tired, I am a 'mother's baby girl'. I don't feel embarrassed, I grew up eating my mother's meal, and it's natural to say that. In the eyes of the students, Xiao Chen is a "spicy teacher" who warns about homework without a word, but Xiao Chen who is around his mother is a clingy "brown candy". As a southern girl, when she was studying at a university in the northeast thousands of miles away, she had to cook porridge with her mother every day: "Because I am a very family lover, I will be very uneasy when I am out of town, I have to call my mother at least twice a day, and my mother is annoyed." Even the aunt next door begged me, can you go and have a boyfriend, don't bother your mother anymore. ”

There is such a passage circulating on the Internet: "When you go home for more than three days, your mother will start to annoy you", and Xiao Chen personally opposes this sentence: "I think it depends on whether this child's self-consciousness is enough, if you lie in bed and do nothing as soon as you get home, your parents will definitely be impatient when they see you, and they must reflect on whether they have done what they can at home." ”

Feelings need to be fed back to each other, and Xiao Chen's attachment to her mother comes from her mother's love for her: "When I was in elementary school, we didn't have a KFC store in town. When I was a child, I was especially eager to eat hamburgers, and once my mother came back from the city to buy me one, afraid that the hamburger was cold, and put it in a quilt. When I came home from school, a few hundred meters away from our house, my mother shouted at me, 'You run back quickly, I bought you a hamburger, and now it should be hot in the quilt', I felt very touched. ”

Finally, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I hope my mother will exercise more and stay with me for a longer time." ”

The desire for the tree to be quiet and the wind to be more than wind is an eternal regret

Luo Qi, 39, works as an executive in a large Internet company, is young and powerful, and has a happy family. His mother was under the impression of a quiet, gentle, and book-loving person: "In my upbringing, my mother played a very key role. I grew up reading books because of the influence of my mother. When I was a child, my mother was not in particularly good health, but she still worked with my father to create a good environment for my growth. ”

"My mom died in early 2006, and it's been 16 years since I graduated from college." Although many memories have been dusted by the years, Luo Qi will always remember the last side with his mother: "At that time, my parents steamed steamed buns for me, and the buns that my family ate at lunch." I went out after lunch, and my mother stood at the entrance of the stairs to deliver me. I thought it was a very common separation, but I didn't expect it to be goodbye forever. ”

It was a long time before he understood that the face of the human world, seeing one side is less. At that time, Luo Qi did not understand this truth, so he had a regret that he could not resolve in his life - until his mother died, he did not have time to say "I love you" to her.

Talking about this matter, Luo Qi was a little intimidated: "I didn't say (I love you), on the one hand, it was due to personal character, on the other hand, in the era when we grew up, people were not particularly good at expressing themselves." And like many only children, although I said that I would know how to be grateful and repay, until my mother died, I still took her care for granted. ”

The ancients were cloudy, the trees wanted to be quiet and the wind was not stopping, and the children wanted to raise and did not wait. Luo Qi's wish is very simple: "I hope that one more person can see my experience, and I hope that one more person can express 'I love you' to my mother." ”

In addition, another unfortunate thing is that he can't even find a photo with his mother. Luo Qi said: "You can match a photo of a green tree, because I hope that the sadness of the wind tree sigh will not be staged again." ”

If he could still say a word to his mother, he wanted to say, "I'm all right, don't worry." ”

The breeze blows and the leaves rustle, as if echoing.

I love you and want you to live to yourself

"Love you Oh Mom."

As a post-90s boy, Xiao Cao inevitably hesitated a little before sending out this WeChat.

"After I said this, my mother came out of the house and asked me, 'Are you all right, are you doing something stupid again?' Xiao Cao couldn't help but smile: "Because my education at home is independent and autonomous, and I generally don't express my love or emotion directly, so when she says this, her first reaction is that I have done something wrong, or I have made some stupid mistakes." ”

Xiao Cao and her mother's mode of getting along is more like a friend, to be precise, more like a "lost friend". "I'm from Beijing, and I went to chengdu for college in 16 years. Because I had never left home since I was a child, my parents always thought that I was a very weak person, so they said to send me. After being sent to school, the two of them were still very reluctant and asked me to take care of myself. Xiao Cao's words turned sharply: "Then the next day the two of them went to play by themselves, and went to the wide and narrow alley." I was in the school, looking at their circle of friends, all kinds of delicious food, all kinds of photos, and I was happy. ”

In Xiao Cao's impression, her mother was tough and strong, running a large family: "When I was a child, my health was not good, one winter night snowed, she carried me to the hospital by herself, and my mother's arms were very warm. Therefore, he hopes that his mother will live a more egotistical life: "I hope that her later life can be lived for herself, don't think about other things that are not related to herself, how happy we are." 」 ”

In "Thirty Only", there is an inner monologue of the heroine: "An important sign of growing up is to say good things to outsiders." Those who hurt or are silent are addressed to those closest to them. ”

However, the inability to control emotions is precisely a manifestation of a person's irrationality and immaturity. An important sign of growing up should be to learn to be considerate, to understand, to learn to embrace, to learn to say "I love you".

It is not so difficult to declare love in the mouth. You who are reading this article, don't forget to say "I love you" to your mother, not only today, not only Mother's Day. (End)
