On the bluestone road of the small village, the quarrel of a mother and daughter is particularly harsh in the silence of the early morning.
"Mom, I really don't want to get married in the future, I want to go outside by myself!" There was a hint of anxiety in the voice of the young girl Richard.
"Nonsense! The daughter's family should keep to themselves and marry a good family in the future. Mother Zhou's face was full of anger, "Take a lot of dowry with you, that's the person with status." Look at it, the daughter of the Zhang family married in the past, and the dowry was readily available, and the in-laws looked at it differently. "
Richard rolled his eyes, "So what? Isn't the daughter of the Zhang family being bullied by her in-laws now? "
Zhou was so angry that he stomped his feet, "You learned to talk back at a young age! Come into the dowry room for me and see what's inside, that's your good life in the future!"
Richard was dragged into the bridal room by his mother. This small room, although only a few square meters in size, was cleaned up and neatly organized by the Zhou family. The room is full of sheets, bedding, dishes, tea sets, cabinets, tables and chairs, etc., everything.
Richard's heart was beating a drum, and she looked at the future dowry in the dowry room, and she was sulking all over her body. To her, the room was like a cage that imprisoned her freedom and ideals.
"What are you going to do? You will be in peace, marry a good family in the future, and bring a lot of these dowries with you, then you will be the one with status. Zhou directly interrupted his daughter's words, "You have to keep in mind the things in the bridal room for me, and you are not allowed to lose everything in the future, how faceless it is!"
Richard could no longer stand his mother's old thinking, and she left the dowry room in a rage, and rushed out of the house without looking back.
"Richard, Richard, you come back to me!" Zhou shouted from behind, but the girl had already run away without looking back.
In this way, Richard made a desperate gamble, left her hometown with her bags on her back, and began her own life experience. Although she has endured all kinds of hardships outside, she has never regretted her choice. Richard works hard to earn money, and he is constantly learning and improving himself at work.
In this way, three years passed quickly. One day, while working in a factory, Richard met a fellow from his hometown by chance.
After some struggles, Richard finally made up his mind to go home and have a look. On the way, she sometimes regretted it, sometimes she was firm, and her heart was up and down. But no matter what, at least she has to untie the knot with her mother in person.
Pushing open the door, I saw Zhou sitting alone in the bridal room. Seeing her daughter suddenly appear in front of her, she was overjoyed, complaining and rejoicing.
"You kid, why did you run away for so long and come back? Zhou stepped forward and reprimanded.
Richard was a little nervous, and she lowered her head and didn't know how to explain. After a while, she mustered up the courage to say, "Mom, can I visit the dowry room?"
Zhou was stopped by this sudden request, and then smiled, "Of course you can, isn't it all for you." "
She led Richard and explained to her one by one the origin and purpose of the dowry. It turned out that the old clothes filled in this large box had been carefully collected by the Zhou family since Richard was an infant. Behind each piece of clothing, there are warm memories condensed.
Richard was deeply touched by his mother's outpouring. She found that behind these seemingly ordinary dowries were her mother's endless blessings and expectations.
Richard was deeply moved. She had never experienced the weight of these dowries, not just as objects, but as the high expectations of her mother and the whole family for her along the way.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I used to be too young and too young to understand your good intentions. With red eyes in his eyes, Richard hugged his mother tightly, "I finally understand now that these dowries are not shackles, but your deep love and blessings for me. "
Zhou also burst into tears, patted his daughter's back and comforted: "Silly child, the mother doesn't blame you." I am content to see you grow up safely. However, if you marry in the future, none of these dowries will be missing!"
The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, and the three-year estrangement was finally resolved.
One day, Richard suddenly said, "Mom, I've decided not to marry in the future." "
Zhou was taken aback, "How is this good? If you don't get married, what can you do with this dowry?"
Zhou was moved to tears by her daughter's words, she knew that her daughter had grown up completely, and she finally understood her mind as a mother. Since then, the relationship between the mother and daughter has become more intimate, and they have gone through years together.
Time flies, and years pass in the blink of an eye. Richard endured a lot of adventures outside the home, eventually found a job he loved, and put down roots in the small city. She lives alone in a rented apartment and lives a single life.
Despite this, Richard never forgot his hometown and mother. On holidays, she always finds time to go home to visit relatives. Pushing open the door, you will see the familiar bridal room. When Zhou saw his daughter, he was so happy that he took her hand and led her to visit the new furnishings of the bridal room.
Zhou was stunned by his daughter's words, and then smiled, "Okay, according to what you said, these dowries will be yours in the future." "
The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, and the bridal room was filled with bursts of laughter.
In this way, Richard spent his best years between his career and family. Her filial piety to her mother is as always, and she has never given up on her pursuit of life. Occasionally, she would walk into the dowry room alone in the dead of night, looking at the familiar dowry and recalling her mother's painstaking efforts.
One year, during the Spring Festival, Richard returned to his hometown as usual. She pushed open the door, but saw Zhou lying alone on the bed, his face pale, obviously ill.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Richard stepped forward to hold his mother and asked with concern.
Richard cautiously opened the box, and inside was a large red satin embroidered with delicate patterns, which shone with a dim light. She remembered that many years ago, her mother used to hold this silk and embroider it carefully, and often told her that it would be her wedding dress.
"Mom, this wedding dress is so beautiful, I will definitely keep it forever. Richard said with tears in his eyes.
Zhou nodded, as if he had consumed all the strength of his body, and soon fell into a deep sleep. Richard stood in front of the bed, watching his mother's peaceful sleeping face, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
From then on, Richard took the entire bridal room as her best memorial to her mother. She cleaned and tidyed up regularly, for fear that any of the dowries would be damaged. Whenever friends came to visit her home, she proudly showed them the little room and told the story behind each dowry.
Although Richard's death was heartbroken, she never stopped thinking about her mother. She often walked into the dowry room alone and sat beside the dowry, as if she could feel her mother's presence. She believes that as long as this little room remains, a mother's love will always exist.
The road of life is not awkward, but full of twists and turns. Richard once had a momentary disgust and rebellion against her mother's dowry route, but in the end she returned to her mother's arms. When she truly understood her mother's good intentions, she realized that the bridal room is not a cage, but the best interpretation of maternal love.
The years have flown by, and in a blink of an eye, Richard has entered the second half of his life. Despite her consistent celibacy, she did not feel lonely or regretful. Because she has a dowry room as an eternal spiritual sustenance.
Over the years, Richard has devoted all his heart and soul to his career. With her ingenuity and hard work, she eventually became the president of a well-known company. Despite her prominent status, she still maintains her filial piety and nostalgia for her mother. Every Spring Festival, she will take the time to return to her hometown, walk into the familiar bridal room, and relive her mother's entrustment.
She would take care of every dowry in the dowry room, carefully wiping them for fear of any damage. Those old clothes, cups, plates, dishes, cabinets, tables and chairs, seemed to shine with the light of her mother's love in her eyes. And the red satin, embroidered with exquisite patterns, was regarded by her as the most precious wedding dress, and was forever placed at the top of the dowry pile.
Friends were moved by Richard's story, and they all sighed at her mother's virtuous kindness back then, and also sincerely admired Richard's ability to miss and thank her mother for her filial piety.
Time flies, and the white horse flies. In the blink of an eye, Richard has also entered the twilight of his life. Although the years have mercilessly left the mark of time on her face, her longing for her mother has never weakened.
In the dead of night, Richard would still walk into the bridal room alone and sit in the familiar atmosphere for a while. She would silently open the big box, look at the old clothes inside, and remember how much her mother cared for her. She would caress those cups, plates and dishes, as if she could feel the warmth and thoughtfulness of her mother. And every time she saw the red silk with the delicate embroidery, tears would involuntarily burst out of her eyes.
"Mom, you see, my daughter is old now, but my longing for you will never fade. Richard often whispered to the dowry, "These dowries are not only your blessings to me, but also my eternal remembrance of you." Your love for me will last forever as long as they are there. "
In this way, Richard sat quietly in the bridal room alone, sometimes shedding tears, sometimes showing a knowing smile. She feels the eternity of her mother's love, and always misses her mother's kindness and expectation.
This small bridal room carries the purest emotions between mother and daughter. It not only witnesses the whole process of Richard from birth to adulthood, but also records the endless blessings of her mother. In Richard's heart, this is her eternal spiritual home.
