My mother's name is Li Fang, and she is 60 years old this year. After she and my dad gave birth to me, my dad died of illness. Mom pulled me up alone, and she worked hard.
My mother used to work in a state-owned enterprise and worked until she retired from the day she graduated. Unlike today's young people, changing jobs is as frequent as changing clothes. In those days, who dared to change jobs casually, what a rare blessing the iron rice bowl was.
30 years have passed, and my mother's hair has turned gray. She still remembers that when she first joined the work, her body was still strong and strong, and she often played ball and sang with her colleagues after work. Now she bent her waist badly, and her legs were not very neat.
However, my mother has always maintained an optimistic attitude. She always said that people should be content and happy, and not care too much about things outside the body. Every time I see her moving inconveniently, she always has a faint smile on her face, and I feel very relieved.
I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw my mother's face filled with excitement and joy that I had not seen for a long time.
"What pension? Isn't it a normal working day?" I hadn't woken up yet, and I didn't react for a while.
As soon as I heard this, I immediately came to my senses. It's been a month since my mother retired, and I actually forgot about it! I quickly turned over and got out of bed, and said excitedly: "Mom, you can finally get your pension! Life will be much better now, hurry up and see how much money you have in the account!"
Mom smiled and said, "I estimate that it may only be a hundred thousand, don't expect too much." I haven't saved much money in my life, so I don't think my pension is too much. ”
I hurriedly said, "Mom, if you have worked for so many years, you will definitely not have only 100,000 yuan! Don't always think so conservatively. I think there are at least hundreds of thousands, and when the time comes, let's buy a new car, decorate our home, and you can live a more relaxed life!"
My mother was amused by me: "Okay, okay, you can say as much as you want." I still need a new car and a new house, as long as you and your uncle and aunt are safe. ”
I saw that my mother was still calm, and I said, "Mom, don't keep talking about that! Today is a big day, let's celebrate it in the evening! Remember, no matter how much it is, it's you."
Mom was amused by me, rubbed my head and said, "Okay, okay, of course I'll be happy." It's just that money is a foreign thing after all, and the most important thing in life is the reunion of the family. ”
"Mom, you're right. But money is also important and can allow you to live a more decent life. I've been working for a few years now, so don't worry about money in the future, I'll take good care of you. I hugged my mother's shoulders and said.
"Silly girl, I don't need you to take care of me. My own pension is enough, so you should keep the money you earn for yourself. Mom smiled and scratched my nose.
I hurriedly said, "Mom, the money that children earn is to repay their parents, which is a matter of course. You worked hard to feed me before, and now it's up to me to take care of you. Come, let's not talk about these things that we don't have, let's go to the bank and see the amount of pension!"
So, my mother happily went to the bank with me. She sat in a chair in the lobby, her hands clasped and her eyes full of excitement and anticipation. I know that this moment she has been waiting for 30 years.
I was dumbfounded, it was at least two zeros less than I had imagined!I looked at my mother in disappointment, and she still had that faint smile on her face.
"Mom, how can this be only 8,000 yuan! You have paid social security for 30 years, how can you only have this pension!" I couldn't help but raise the volume.
Mom whispered, "It's okay, it's already good." In the past, I only had a salary of more than 1,000 yuan a month, and 8,000 yuan was a lot for me. ”
"Unimpressive!" I said anxiously, "This amount is obviously unfair! The Social Security Bureau is so irresponsible! Mom, you work so hard, but they don't give you the reward you deserve, how can you bear it!"
My mother looked at me excitedly, and a trace of loss flashed in her eyes, but she still said softly: "Xiaomei, forget it, don't be angry." Mom's happiest thing in her life is to watch you grow up safely, money is just a number, it's not worth fighting about it. ”
I wanted to say something, but when I saw the tired look on my mother's face, my heart immediately softened. Yes, my mother is 60 years old, and she shouldn't have to bear such stimulation and blows.
At this time, I suddenly saw tears shining in my mother's eyes. I
At this time, I suddenly saw tears shining in my mother's eyes. My heart tightened, and I hurried over to hug her.
"Mom, I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, I shouldn't have quarreled with you over money. Don't be upset, okay?" I whispered to my mother.
Mom wiped her tears, smiled reluctantly and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little excited." I don't seem to have shed a tear about money in my life. ”
I was so distressed that I quickly poured my mother a glass of water.
After taking a few sips of water, my mother calmed down and said, "Xiaomei, you are still young and don't quite understand the situation of people in our time. At that time, I was satisfied with a stable job, and I didn't dare to ask for a pension. 8,000 yuan is already very content for me. ”
Only then did I realize how naïve my words and actions were. I lowered my head and said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." You're right, I shouldn't break your heart like this for the amount of money. ”
My mother touched my head and said, "Silly girl, Mom is fine, don't blame yourself." In fact, being with you is the happiest thing in my life. ”
"Mom, I know you've always been very frugal and never spend money indiscriminately. Actually, you can spend more money on yourself, and I won't mind. I plucked up the courage to say.
Mom smiled: "What kind of money does I spend on an old man, I am already very content to have a good daughter like you." ”
"Okay, I won't let you be satisfied!" I joked, "I've already decided, I'm going to give you a new car!" Even though the pension is only 8,000 yuan, it doesn't affect my plans to buy a car. ”
My mother smiled and slapped my hand and said, "You kid, why are you so disobedient!"
I quickly hugged my mother and said, "Mom, I just want to give you a new car, which is a reward for your 30 years of hard work." I've grown up and it's time to learn to share some of it for you. Don't shirk it anymore, let me take care of you!"
Mom finally didn't say no more, just smiled and stroked my hair. I know it's her acquiescence.
"Mom, you must live happily in retirement, and stop worrying about money. You've worked so hard to pull me up, and I'll be forever grateful to you. I said reverently.
"Good boy, as long as you are safe and happy, your mother will be content. Mom had tears in her eyes.
Our mother and daughter hugged each other and cried. At this moment, I seemed to see my young mother, so proud, so strong, for me, she could carry the whole world.
"Mom, I love you. I whispered in my mother's ear.
This 8,000 yuan is the reward for your 30 years of hard work, and no matter how big or small it is, it deserves to be respected in my heart. I will always remember that it was your working hands that raised me. ”
Mom sniffed, nodded and said, "Well, these 8,000 yuan will become the most precious memory of our mother and daughter." ”
After a while, my mother's mood gradually stabilized. I helped her sit down and poured her a cup of hot water.
"Mom, take a break, it's not easy for you today. Shall we have a chat?" I said softly.
Mom took a sip of hot water, and her eyes became warm: "Okay, we haven't chatted calmly for a long time." Come, Mommy, tell you stories from the past. ”
When I heard the word "storytelling", I immediately came to my senses and excitedly approached my mother.
My mother first talked about her life when she was a child, and the children were very self-disciplined in those days, getting up early every day, washing and dressing themselves and going to school. I have to help the family after school, and I don't have time to play.
Later, my mother talked about the details of her work. At that time, she was assigned to a state-owned enterprise and became an ordinary worker. Repeating boring operations every day, the salary is only a few dozen yuan. But everyone is proud because they are involved in nation-building.
I listened attentively, and from time to time I interjected "Mom, you're amazing" and "Mom, you're great". My mother smiled and touched my head and said, "Actually, it's very ordinary, everyone is working hard to live the same." ”
Finally, my mother talked about the year I gave birth. She still remembers holding me in her arms and crying in the hospital room, because my dad is no longer there and she has to take care of everything alone.
"Mom, you must have been scared, didn't you?" I squeezed my mother's hand.
"yes, I'm desperate too. But as soon as I saw you, I found strength. I said to myself, I must live well, for you. Mom's eyes lit up.
I couldn't help but shed tears again. Mom loves me so much, but I broke her heart today for a mere 8,000 yuan.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I really went too far today. Will you forgive me?"
My mother took me in her arms: "Silly girl, my mother doesn't mind for a long time." I just hope you have a good time. ”
"I'll have a good time, Mom. As long as you are by my side, I am very happy and content. "I hugged my mom tight.
We talked a lot again, from the past to the future. My mom said she planned to learn painting after she retired, and I immediately said that I would give her all my support.
"Mom, I'm sure you can draw very
"Mom, I'm sure you'll be able to paint a beautiful picture! When the time comes, we'll hang your paintings all over the house so that everyone can see your talent!" I said excitedly.
Mom smiled and said, "Okay, don't say I'm like a great painter." I just want to find something to do after I retire, and I'm just getting started with painting, so I won't be able to do much. ”
"It's okay to do something, as long as you're happy. And I believe that as long as you put your mind to it, there is nothing you can't do. I encouraged.
Mom nodded and said, "Well, with you trusting me so much, Mom is more motivated." I will study Xi painting knowledge and try to draw some good works. ”
"By the way, Mom, you can draw a portrait of our family first! I'm really looking forward to having a photo of your hand-painted family!" The thought of this makes me excited.
"Okay, let's start by drawing you. I remember when you were a child, you loved to wear a red dress and two pigtails in your hair, how cute it was!" Mom's eyes were full of nostalgia.
"Then I'll look for the photo, and you can follow the drawing!" I said happily.
"I don't need a photo, I always remember what you looked like when you were a kid. Mom said softly.
When I listened, my heart warmed and I felt deeply loved by my mother.
We talked a lot more, from the past to the future, and the topic became more and more optimistic and positive. I offered to take my mom on a trip in a few days, and she readily agreed.
Mom was amused by me: "Okay, okay, don't talk big." Mom just scribbles and paints, how can there be such an exaggeration in an art exhibition. ”
"What's impossible!" I clasped my mother's hand, "As long as we mother and daughter are together, we can create miracles and make all dreams come true!"
Mom had tears in her eyes, she didn't speak, she just hugged me tightly.
At this moment, I felt a power that I had never felt before. It turned out that the company of my family was the source of my dream. With my mom by my side, I have nothing to fear.
"Mom, I love you. I whispered in my mother's ear.
"I love you too, my good daughter. Mom's voice trembled a little.
We just hugged each other quietly. After a long time, my mother gently pushed me away, wiped her tears and said:
"Alright, let's go home. It's been a really exciting day, I seem to be a little tired. ”
"Then let's walk home slowly, buy something delicious on the way, tonight
"Then let's walk home slowly, buy something nice to eat on the way, and celebrate tonight. "I picked my mother up and walked out with her in my arms.
"What are you celebrating, it's not the New Year. Mom said with a smile.
"yes, today is important to me. It's just that the quarrel between our mother and daughter just now ruined this joyful atmosphere, and I feel very guilty. "Mom blamed herself a little.
I quickly said, "Mom, don't think about it so much. It's over, and we just have to celebrate happily now!"
"Okay, then do as you say. Let's buy something nice and congratulate them in the evening. Mom finally smiled.
So, we went to my mother's favorite restaurant and ordered a lot of delicious food to take home.
In the evening, my mother and I set the table together, heated the food we just bought, and opened a bottle of red wine.
"Mom, this is a retirement gift for you, let's try it together!" I poured my mom a little red wine.
"Oh, what kind of red wine do I drink at my age. "Mom was a little embarrassed.
"Today is a special day, so make an exception and take a bite!" I smiled and persuaded my mother.
Mom finally took the glass, touched it lightly with me, and took a sip with a smile.
"Mom, I wish you a happy retirement!" I raised my glass.
"Thank you, my wonderful daughter. As long as you're here, I'll be happy every day. Mom's eyes were full of warmth.
We chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was warm and joyful. Mom's face was filled with long-lost joy, and I was sincerely happy for her.
After dinner, my mother looked tired, so I asked her to go and rest first. After tidying up the table, I went to the balcony, where the night breeze was gently blowing and the stars were shining.
This day is very meaningful for us mother and daughter, and I am very emotional. On the road of life, we will inevitably encounter ups and downs, but with family by our side, everything will become full of strength.
Once again, I vow that I will take good care of my mother and let her enjoy her retirement happily. In the days to come, I will accompany her to paint, travel, and realize all her beautiful dreams.
