Hear such a story.
The woman's hometown is a small town in the south, and she returned to the town to work after graduation. The woman's brother lives in another city not far from the town. There is an ancestral house in the woman's hometown, and the ancestral house is the place where the woman's parents get married and live, and at that time, only the woman's mother lived alone in the ancestral house. My mother is over 70 years old, and although her body is still strong, it is far less than before. Due to the relationship between work and life, the woman and her brother rarely have time to go back to the ancestral house to visit their mother, of course, she and her brother have also asked their mother to live with them in the city many times, and the mother refused the "invitation" of their brother and sister on the grounds that they are used to living alone.
The woman watched the local news, knew that there would be heavy rain in the town in recent days, remembered the condition of the ancestral house, and was very worried about the mother who lived in the ancestral house, so the woman called her mother and asked her mother to stay in her home for a few days, and then return to the ancestral house when the weather improved. The woman was very helpless, knowing her mother's temper, it was definitely impossible to go to her for a temporary stay, so the woman had to repeatedly tell her mother to pay attention to safety, it really rained heavily at night, and she must make sure that she would go to bed when she was fine. The mother thought her daughter was nagging, and the woman reluctantly told her mother to go back to see her early tomorrow morning.

After a night of heavy rain, the woman heard the raindrops hitting the glass violently, and she couldn't calm down, she didn't know if the ancestral house could withstand the heavy rain this night. Tossing and turning, staying up until dawn, the woman got into the first car to the ancestral house. When she got off the car at the head of the village, the woman ran quickly to the ancestral house, pushed open the door, the ancestral house was safe, and the woman's heart was relaxed. When she came to her mother's bedroom, there was no sign of her mother, but she saw that the roof was dripping everywhere, and she turned around and went to the other two bedrooms, but there was still no shadow of her mother, and the woman was a little panicked, what about her mother? The woman went around the ancestral house several times, but still did not find her mother, and there was nothing wrong with the house, but where did her mother go? The woman came to her mother's bedroom again, and accidentally found a rain cloth spread out and laid in a corner, and she remembered that it should be the location of the crib that she and her brother used when they were children. The woman carefully lifted the rain cover, and unexpectedly saw her mother curled up and sleeping there, breathing evenly, sleeping soundly, not noticing the arrival of her daughter at all. The woman couldn't bear to disturb her mother, so she sat quietly next to her, waiting by her mother's side.

It didn't take long for the mother to wake up, and when she saw her daughter sitting there, the mother looked apologetic and told her daughter that it was raining too much at night, but she didn't expect that the ancestral house was really old, and it was dripping everywhere, and the bed couldn't live at all. The woman looked at her mother, who looked like a child who had made a mistake, and she didn't know what to say. The woman picked up her mother, packed up some of the things that her mother had to use, and no longer listened to her mother's excuse that she would not go to the city, and got into the car with her on the way back to the city.
The mother said to her daughter in the car: When I was a child, I watched them grow up in the crib day by day, and they changed every day, and they were very happy, and they lived in the hope of new life growth every day. But now, the mother does not want to be by the side of her children, so that her children can see themselves getting old day by day, step by step towards their twilight years, such a life makes people unable to see hope. The woman was in tears, and she knew her mother's true thoughts, she just wanted to tell her mother: a family is happy together.

"A family is happy together", because this sentence remembers this story, and this sentence was also said before I heard this story. Regardless of rich or poor, whether birth, old age, sickness or death, no matter the ends of the world, there is the birth of new life, there will be people leaving, we cannot change the laws of nature, but as long as the heart of the family is together, people are together, that is happy.
