My name is Li Xiaofang, and I am the youngest daughter of Chunhua. Speaking of my mother, she is a very traditional Chinese mother who has taken care of her family all her life, especially my eldest brother Xiao Ming.
I remember when I was a child, my mother always left the best part for Xiao Ming to eat, and gave me leftovers. Whenever the neighbor aunt praised me for being sensible and obedient, my mother always shook her head and said that I was not careful; And as long as Xiao Ming passes the exam, his mother is as happy as the New Year.
When I grew up, I was admitted to university with my own efforts, found a stable job, and married my husband. After Xiao Ming dropped out of high school, he mixed in society, often gambling and losing money, and owed usury. I often get calls from my mother, asking me to send money to Xiao Ming to help him pay off his debts.
"Xiaofang, how can you, as an older sister, watch your younger brother suffer? Or do you look down on him now and feel that if you have a stable job, you are superior to others?" Mother's words were full of disappointment.
I could only sigh and silently remit the money to Xiao Ming. Even though he never said thank you to me, I knew it was what I had to do. Because he is my younger brother, my mother's only son.
Last month, I flew back to my hometown to visit my sick mother. She is 60 years old, she has lost a lot of weight, and she is full of silver hair, but she is still familiar to me when she is busy in the kitchen.
"Mom, you're old, don't work so hard anymore, I'll help you. "I went into the kitchen and took the knife from my mother to cut the turnips.
The mother immediately became unhappy: "Don't worry about it, I can still cook!" You don't want to think about it, your brother has just been admitted to college recently, he must be in a good mood, I have to cook a few more dishes he likes to eat, and wait for him to come home and surprise him!"
"Mom, it's my brother's business to be admitted to college, and you have to pay attention to your body. "I advised my mother.
"Well, you just don't understand. Xiao Ming is a son, and he will inherit the family lineage in the future, and what a glorious thing it is to be admitted to university! As a mother, of course, I have to take more care of him and make him happy. Don't mumble, just wash the greens!" Mother said impatiently.
I could only silently take the greens and wash them carefully under the running water. My mother's words pierced my heart again, and I remembered that she was always partial to Xiao Ming, and none of my achievements were very important in her eyes.
But I didn't complain, I just worked harder to help my mother prepare dinner. Because apart from Xiao Ming, I only have her as a mother. Later, the mother's condition became more and more severe and required a long hospitalization. I offered to take care of my mother, so I applied for a long leave from the company.
During this time, I stayed at my mother's bedside day and night, taking care of her daily life and diet, massaging her legs and feet by the way, and telling some news stories to make her happy. Although my mother was weak, she was still in a sober mind. Sometimes she would look at me with a look of emotion in her eyes.
"Xiaofang, thank you for your hard work. Once, my mother said something suddenly.
However, Xiao Ming, who is an older brother, has never come to visit his sick mother once. When I called him, he always lazily said that he was busy and told me not to bother him.
One day, my mother suddenly took my hand and said with a serious expression: "Xiaofang, my mother hasn't done anything big in her life, but with you and Xiao Ming's two hearts, I am very content." It's just that mom is sorry for you, always partial to Xiao Ming, and didn't give you the care you deserve. If you think your mother is unfair to you, just hit me a few times to get angry. ”
I looked at my mother's deeply wrinkled face and slightly cloudy eyes, and my heart felt like I had been hit hard by something, and my nose was sore, and tears welled up in my eyes.
"Mom, I'm most willing to take care of you, how can I blame you for being partial? My brother and I are very filial to you. I'm happier than anything else now because you've come to your senses and you know I've always loved you!"
I hugged my mother's thin body and wept silently. How I had been looking forward to this moment, when my mother had finally seen the love I had for her.
In this way, under my careful care, my mother's condition was stabilized. After a month, she was able to be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate. I happily planned all the meals I would cook for my mother when she came home, the supplements I would buy, and so on.
My mother left all the real estate and savings to Xiao Ming, and I didn't have a penny!
When I arrived at the hospital, my mother had already signed the will. She calmly told me that all the property was given to Xiao Ming because he was the only son in the family and needed this money as start-up capital to start a family in the future.
I asked incredulously, "What about me? Haven't I been working all these years? Have you forgotten how much I took care of you?"
The mother sighed and said, "I've thought about it, I'll live in Xiao Ming's house in the future, you don't have to worry about it." I'm sorry, but this is what I've been thinking for years, and I can't change it, so don't persuade me. ”
I was filled with grief and indignation, but seeing my mother's sick and weak appearance, I couldn't bear to argue about anything. Silently turned away, tears blurring his vision.
Later, my mother really moved in with Xiao Ming. I still visit her often, but not as often as I used to. Once, I found out that the tumor in my mother's leg had recurred and needed surgery. I immediately contacted Xiao Ming to discuss, but he pushed back, saying that he had been busy with work recently and couldn't spare time to take care of his mother, so he only gave a small amount of surgery fees and stopped caring about it.
I looked at Xiao Ming's indifference and my mother's increasingly weak body, and my heart was like a knife. Finally, I decided to take a long leave of absence and take my mother to the hospital for surgery myself.
On the day of surgery, I stayed outside the operating room, anxiously awaiting the results. After a few hours, the doctor came out and told me that my mother had completed the operation safely and just needed to recuperate. Relieved, I gently wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes.
My mother recovered some strength after the operation, and I found a reliable nurse to take care of her. One day, I went to Xiao Ming's house to visit my mother as usual, but I couldn't find her. The nurse told me that Xiao Ming picked up his mother early this morning, and told her strangely that she would not need to take care of her mother in the future.
I called Xiao Ming anxiously to ask him, and he said in a cold tone: "Mom is mine, and I have the right to take her anywhere." She's already in much better health, she doesn't need you to worry about it anymore, and our mother and son don't need your charity!"
I was very angry and felt sorry for my mother, but I was helpless. After a few months, I missed my mother more and more, but I didn't know how she was doing.
I drove to Xiao Ming's house and saw my mother lying on the bed, her face pale and dying.
"Mom!" I rushed to the bed, shook her cold hand, and tears welled up in my eyes.
"Mom, cheer up! I'll get a doctor to see you right away!" I said anxiously.
I hurriedly approached my mother and held her hand tightly.
I whimpered and said, "Mom, I never resent you, I just want to see you healthy and safe." Don't talk about it, save some effort!"
After saying this, my mother was exhausted, and she smiled at me and slowly closed her eyes. I held her hand and wept silently. The surrounding nurses and Xiao Ming were also silent.
My mother passed away like this, but her last words were like chiseled in my heart. Due to various inheritance disputes, Xiao Ming and I became more and more estranged. There was even a time when he pushed me in an argument and I fell to the ground with some minor injuries.
So I learned to forgive and tolerate Ming. Although he has a bad temper, after all, we come from the same mother. I didn't meet him in general, I didn't talk about the inheritance again, I only went to clean the cemetery and lay a bouquet of flowers on the day of my mother's death.
Gradually, Xiao Ming's temper eased, and the relationship between us finally allowed my mother to blind her eyes. I also found a new direction in my life. Whenever I think of my mother, I am grateful that she gave me the strength to forgive and forbear.
Life goes on. I adjusted my job and moved to a new city to start a new life. The people and things here have given me a lot of sunshine and hope.
When I'm alone at night, I still think of my mother. Her gentle, old face often appears in my dreams. I would whisper to her, "Mom, I'm doing well, don't worry." ”
I found out through some acquaintances that Xiao Ming inherited his mother's inheritance and lived a comfortable life. It's just that his willful temper hasn't changed, and he often gets angry over trivial things, and he can't maintain a stable relationship. I feel sorry for him, but I also know that he has to change on his own.
One day, Xiao Ming called me out of the blue, with a rare hesitation in his tone.
It turned out that Xiao Ming had not worked diligently over the years, and had squandered his life on the inheritance left to him by his mother. Now that the money is basically gone, his business has failed, he owes loan sharks, and his life is in trouble.
I listened to him explain the situation and whispered, "Mom left all the money to you back then, just hoping that you can live a good life." Now that you've run out of money, I can't help you. But if you get stuck, you can come and stay with me for a while, and then make plans when things get better. ”
I listened quietly until all the apologies and grievances that Xiao Ming had hidden for years poured out.
"It's okay, I've forgiven you. We're all mom's kids. I said.
After hanging up, I felt at peace for the first time in a long time. Xiao Ming's apology was like a breath of fresh wind, blowing away the last grudge between us. I believe that in the future, he will definitely change his life and become a better person.
Mother, I miss your warm hugs. In this life, I have experienced too much confusion and struggle, and your loss is the deepest pain in my life. But it was this pain that taught me to forgive and put myself in the shoes of others.
I will live a more meaningful life and be a daughter that you are proud of. There are too many disputes in this world, I just want to be a fountain of peace and a sea of gratitude, so that all those who love me can trust me with peace of mind.
Thank you for being born into the world and for teaching me the most profound lesson of my life. I love you, Mother.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, I have entered middle age. The so-called rivers and lakes have been cold and hot several times, and the heroes have been scattered like smoke in the end.
I quit my job, bought a log cabin, and moved to the countryside. I would take a slow walk in the fields in the morning, and look up at the stars at night. Life here is very warm and comfortable.
One day, I received a letter from Xiao Ming, saying that he had completely reformed and started a small shop, and his life was very prosperous. He invited me to stay at his house for a few days.
I didn't hesitate to say yes.
When he saw Xiao Ming again, he had a smile on his face, and he was no longer the unruly appearance he had back then. His wife was a very virtuous woman, and the two of them took great care of me.
"Sister, I want to say sorry to you, I was too naïve and willful back then, and I caused you so much trouble. Now that I have grown up, I will run my family well, and I sincerely wish you to find your own happiness. Xiao Ming hugged me with red eyes.
I burst into tears, too. Xiao Ming is finally on the right path, and I feel extremely relieved for him.
"Silly boy, my sister has forgiven you a long time ago. Our relatives should understand each other and care for each other, and this is what my mother expects. ”
I decided to move in with them for a while. Now we have become a harmonious little family, I teach Xiao Ming's children to read and tell stories, and life is warm and beautiful.
I would often walk through town to my mother's grave. There is always a fresh bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone, and I know that Xiao Ming's family has been here.
I would sit at the grave and look wistfully at the picture of my mother.
"Mom, your two hearts and livers are now reconciled as before. I forgave my brother and he matured a lot. We will all cherish the love you give us and live a simple and happy life. May you rest in peace in the Spirit of Heaven, and I will come to see you often. ”
Every time I come back from the cemetery, my state of mind becomes extraordinarily peaceful. I think that's how my mother wants to end.
The world is unpredictable, but the love of a mother will always guide us. I will always remember the light in my mother's eyes and thank her for teaching me tolerance and tolerance.
Mother's love is the greatest power in the world. I will pass on this love, hoping that the world will have more warmth and harmony because of it.
Mother, please rest in peace. Your daughter will always love you and be grateful to you.
I lived in Xiao Ming's house for a while, and I had a great time with his family.
I told Xiao Ming's children many stories about their mother, how she worked hard to bring us up, and how she loved us. The children listened with relish.
"Grandma is great. Xiao Ming's eldest son sighed, "I have to take care of my parents when I grow up." ”
I smiled and rubbed his hair: "Good boy, you will." ”
Living with Xiao Ming's family, I felt the warmth I had not felt for a long time, and this is the simple life I wanted.
Later, Xiao Ming and his wife discussed to introduce me to someone and let me find a home. I declined their kindness, and I'm content with my life now.
I would go to the cemetery regularly to clean my mother's grave and plant her favorite flowers in front of the grave. I sat in front of the tombstone and told her about my life with Xiao Ming.
"Mom, you must be very pleased, our brother and sister have such a good relationship. I have fully understood your intentions, and I have no more resentment. I thank you for giving me the most precious treasure of my life. ”
Another year is approaching, and Xiao Ming's family is going to move to the south to live. Before leaving, Xiao Ming handed over his mother's grave to me to take care of.
"Sister, I've worked hard for you all these years. In the future, I will ask you to take care of my mother's tomb, and you will definitely do better than me. ”
I nodded, and watched as the family drifted apart.
From then on, I lived with my mother's graveyard. I planted flowers, weeded, cleaned and kept the place in order. Occasionally, I would write to the family to tell them that my mother's grave was all right.
I am indifferent to fame and fortune and live a simple life. Here, I felt a sense of tranquility like never before.
I would pray devotionally at the grave: "Mother, I have come to accompany you." Go ahead and your daughter will always be here to watch over your memories. ”
Time went by, and my hair turned gray. I knew that my relationship with my mother was coming.
That's the way I want it to end. I spent my last days with my mother all my life.
There is no longer any concern in the world, and the mother and daughter are finally reunited. I wish all the children in this world to have a good mother like me.
Mother, I'm coming.
