When I went to the supermarket that day to buy something, I couldn't help but say, "What's good for the elderly?" Comrade Salesman's eyes widened, as if to say, "Aren't you still an old man?" I didn't react to what was going on, and then I said, "Buy something for my mother and uncle." So she said, "You still have your mother and uncle to see, you are so happy." "She saw that people my age still had Gao Tang there, and she was envious. Yes, there is an old man in the family, which is really a treasure. In front of your mother, no matter how old you are, you are a child.
My mother is 95 years old this year, and my uncle's young mother is two years old. They all intend to live in apartments for the elderly. One is the feeling that the children are busy, and then there are people of the same age in the apartment, who have a common language. The mother can take care of herself, and the body is OK. It's just that my uncle is a bit demented. My mother had to talk to my uncle every day, which was fine. My mother loved to play cards and often saw them having a lot of fun together. Seeing that our mother was in a good mood, we were relieved. Recently, due to the epidemic, in order to protect, I can only meet my mother at the door and greet each other. Looking at my mother's back, which was hunched over on crutches, my eyes were moist. I can't help but think back to the scene many years ago.
My family is a strict father and mother, and my father has a bad temper, but he is just and honest, and he can't say nice things. Mothers and fathers are just the opposite, the mother has a gentle personality, and it is most appropriate to use "good wife and good mother".
My family of seven people died early because my grandfather died early. There's grandma on top and me and my younger siblings on the bottom. My father worked in a match factory for 42 yuan a month, which was also a high salary at that time. But it's also stressful enough to feed a family. For this reason, the mother always pasted matchboxes under the kerosene lamp at night until late at night. Sometimes I also help with the paste for a while to subsidize the family. My mother was very filial to my grandmother, and every time she bought something delicious, she first went to the hall house to send it to my grandmother, and my grandmother also took it out for us to eat. So, after we worked, we bought delicious food and sent it to Grandma first. Parents always smile with satisfaction. Over time, the aunts all looked in their eyes, and naturally got along well with their mother. Years later, grandma died, and the aunts often visited their mother, as close as sisters.
The mother and the neighbor also have a good relationship. We moved twice, the earliest in Guangxi Street (the Old Workers' Club). In 1966, it moved to Minquan Street (the north shore of Youth Lake). Wherever you are, you can hear the praise of your mother. Mother is helpful, no matter how big or small, she can help. People often say that "it is not difficult to do a good thing, but a hard thing to do well for a lifetime." It is to the original old people's apartment, and the elderly with mobility problems in the same room, the mother helps her carry water, bowls, etc.
My mother loves to be clean and keeps her home organized all day. Even where the rag is placed, it has to be in a certain place. No littering is allowed. It was in the old age apartment that she cleaned up the tables, chairs and beds. They all praised their mother as an old lady who loved cleanliness.
The mother's life is ordinary, the ordinary mother's ordinary home. Mother's words and deeds also continue to us. Filial piety comes first, filial piety to the elderly, and righteousness. It is indeed a blessing to see your mother for more than one's lifetime. No regrets! Here, I wish my mother a happy birthday! Years are safe!
