"Boys, come here!" The mother's hoarse voice echoed through the cabin. My brother and I immediately put down our work and walked quickly to our mother.
It was a sunny day, but my mother's face was dull. Her body was getting thinner and thinner, and I had a vague sense of foreboding in my heart.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" I asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I just want to meet you. Mother barely managed to squeeze out a smile, but her eyes were dark.
We are an ordinary rural family, my father died young, and my mother dragged my younger brother and me to grow up alone. Although life was hard, she never showed the slightest complaint in front of us. She is a strong and strict mother who has high expectations for us and hopes that we will have success in the future.
"Listen, you brothers. The mother spoke with difficulty, her voice weak but firm: "When I am gone, the little house in the family will be for your brother to live in." "
"Why?" I was puzzled and asked, "I'm the boss, shouldn't I inherit the inheritance?"
"Your brother is a coward and needs to be taken care of. The mother said, "As an older brother, you should treat him well and protect him." "
I opened my mouth to argue about something, but when I saw my mother's resolute eyes, I finally didn't say anything. I could only nod my head and say that I followed my mother's arrangement.
Soon after my mother died, I was ready to give the house to my younger brother in accordance with her wishes. However, the younger brother was not satisfied with this.
"Why do you want to give me all the house? You are the eldest son, you deserve more!" My brother asked me angrily.
"It's a mother's arrangement and we have to respect it. I tried to explain.
"Respect, what is disrespectful!" The younger brother said angrily, "Mother did this because she was afraid that I would have nowhere to go in the future." But now that I'm grown up and have the ability to make a living on my own, you might as well give me the main property!"
"Brother, I know you've always been obedient, but you've gone too far this time, right?" He sneered and said, "It's sad that you can't even protect your own interests!"
I was stung by my brother's words, and my heart was mixed. On the one hand, I do feel that my mother's arrangement is a little unfair; But on the other hand, breaking my mother's will made me feel uneasy. I was in a predicament like never before.
Seeing our brother turn against him like this, my wife was naturally heartbroken. When she came to me, she said with a sad expression, "Why do you brothers make a fuss over this little property, just obey your mother's wishes, give the house to your brother, and don't hurt your flesh and blood for this little thing!"
"Your mother's intentions are good, but she is afraid that your brother will be helpless in the future. The wife said, "Although it may seem unfair, you should be considerate of this love." You have a lot of adults, and be a good son who is obedient and filial. "
I began to reflect on my life and hope to be a more tolerant and friendly person. My mother's last wish made me realize that money and status are short-lived and meaningless, and that only virtue and determination are truly valuable. I was determined to put aside my selfishness and devote myself wholeheartedly to fulfilling my mother's request.
Unlike me, my brother is so obsessed with this incident that he can't let go of it. In his opinion, my obedience to my mother's will was a joke and a hypocrisy.
"Brother, you're an honest man!" My brother often taunted me like this, "I can't even protect my own interests, and I'm afraid that I will be groveled to in the future." "
My brother became more and more cynical and turned a blind eye to me, the so-called "honest man". Sometimes I took the initiative to talk to him, but he avoided me and was frighteningly cold. Naturally, my heart grew heavier and heavier.
Fortunately, I still have the full support and explanation of my wife at such times. Whenever I was depressed, my wife would always take the initiative to find me and give me spiritual comfort.
"Don't take it to heart. The wife said, "You are doing the right thing, and you should be proud of it." "
"But my brother was disgusted with me, and I saw that he had taken me for a stranger. I said helplessly.
"It's only temporary, and he'll understand it one day. His wife comforted, "If you insist on doing the right thing, God will reward you." "
Whenever I wavered, my wife would encourage me in time and get me back on my feet. It's really lucky to have her as a bosom lover. I vowed to persevere in my mother's entrustment to the end.
Just when I was determined to do my mother's will, my brother suddenly made a move that shocked me.
That day, my brother suddenly found me, and his eyes revealed a crazy determination.
"Brother, I'll be honest with you. The younger brother gritted his teeth and said, "If you really give me the house, I will go and apologize for my death!"
"I'm serious!" The younger brother's tone was extremely resolute, "I can't live anymore! Either you give me the house, or I'll kill myself!"
I looked into my brother's eyes, and there was no smile in them, only determination and madness. I realized that he had done such a thing! My heart was suddenly hollowed out and miserable.
I was in agony like never before. On the one hand, I don't want to go against my mother's wishes, otherwise she will be sad under the Nine Springs; But on the other hand, I don't want my own brother to die like this.
I weighed the pros and cons over and over again, and I was in pain. Seeing this, my wife comforted me again and again: "Don't blame yourself too much, this matter is already very tricky." Calm down and think about it. "
However, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't make up my mind. I began to regret why I had agreed to my mother's request so easily, and if I could do it all over again, I would have insisted on getting more of the property!
Just when I was in agony and almost breaking down, my brother suddenly changed his mind.
"Forget it, brother, I'll think about it again. The younger brother waved his hand, and the conversation changed, "You can give me the house, I won't force you." "
"That's just a momentary statement. The younger brother sighed, and his tone suddenly became much softer, "I think about it carefully, my mother actually gave me the house out of good intentions. She was worried that I would have nowhere to go in the future, so she made this arrangement. "
"No, Mother is right. The younger brother said solemnly, "We are brothers, and we should love each other and help each other." I'm finally getting the truth now. Brother, give me the house, I accept my mother's kindness. "
Looking at my brother's sincere eyes, I was simply stunned by his transformation. I never expected that he would suddenly change his mind and even take the initiative to accept his mother's will. This made me feel ashamed and remorseful.
"I'm sorry brother, but I'm too slow. I sincerely apologized to my brother, "I should have seen my mother's good intentions, but I have been suffering from gains and losses, which has broken your heart." "
"Brother, you are too modest. The younger brother shook his head, "Actually, I'm too willful and have brought you so many troubles." If it weren't for my mother's teachings, I would have been blinded by selfish desires. "
I looked into my brother's sincere eyes and suddenly realized how ridiculous my previous hesitation and struggle was. Yes, how could my mother's arrangement be wrong? She made this decision out of deep love for us. We should not care about those small gains and losses, but cherish each other's brotherhood.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I'm too slow. I should have trusted my mother's decision from the beginning, instead of thinking so much. I admire you for your ability to turn over in time. No matter what happens in the future, we must understand and support each other, and never let our mother's spirit in heaven down again. "
The younger brother nodded, tears glistening in his eyes. We just looked at each other, and it was as if our hearts were finally one.
Through this experience, I finally fully understood my mother's intentions. She gave the house to my brother, not to deprive me of my rights, but to train our brother's character and determination.
She hoped that I could learn to be tolerant and humble, and not to be too concerned about the small gains and losses; She prefers that her younger brother can become stronger, and not always be lonely and willful. In her own way, she has molded both of us brothers into wiser and more responsible people.
My admiration for my mother reached a new level after this incident. Yes, she is the real wise man, her vision is so high, her love is so great! And we as sons are just obsessed with the little things of the moment, which is simply superficial and ridiculous.
Through this incident, I also realized that family affection is more valuable than money and status, and it is the most precious thing in life. Without the support of family affection, it is easy for us to get lost in the quagmire of selfish desires and become selfish and short-sighted.
So, no matter what happens in the future, I am determined to cherish the brotherhood with my brother. I'm never going to let it hurt again. With this friendship as a support, I believe that we will be able to grow together and become responsible and visionary people.
"Brother, no matter what happens in the future, we must be brothers and sisters and help each other. I said solemnly, "As long as our relationship is strong enough, there is nothing that cannot be overcome." "
"Yes, brother. The younger brother nodded, his eyes firm and powerful, "We will definitely become good people who are useful to society as our mother hopes." "
We hugged each other tightly, as if in this moment there was some kind of magical connection with the soul of our mother. Yes, my mother was there watching us, and she must have felt very happy for us.
Since that experience, my relationship with my brother has become very close and intimate.
The estrangements and mustards of the past have been swept away and replaced by brotherhood of mutual love. Whenever I encountered any difficulties, my brother would not hesitate to stand up and give me the greatest support and help. And I have also learned to be tolerant and humble, no longer caring about those small gains and losses, but putting my brother's safety first.
Gradually, the two of us came together again, as inseparable as we were when we were children. We often walk side by side, either in the fields or at home. Sometimes I would pick up the flask and talk to my brother, just like I did with my mother.
"Brother, you can drink two more glasses!" My brother would pat me on the shoulder and say, "You and my brother can be reconciled again, but thanks to my mother!"
"Yes, thanks to my mother's foresight. I would say with emotion, "If I had changed to someone else, I am afraid that our relationship would have been completely ruined." "
In retrospect, my mother seems to have been a little harsh on the way we were raised. But now I am immensely grateful for her good intentions. It was her foresight that made us what we are today.
Sometimes I would go to my mother's grave alone and weep bitterly. "Mother, it was your teachings that made me finally understand the value of family affection. I will touch her tombstone and tears welling up in my eyes, "You have raised us into responsible people in your own way." I love you forever and am forever grateful to you!"
Every time I think about my mother, I make up my mind that I must live according to her expectations. I can't live up to her deep meaning, and I want to repay her kindness with my own actions.
With this determination, I was able to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Whether at home or in society, I do my best to help others and contribute to society. Gradually, I gained the trust and respect of others, and also won countless praises.
And whenever someone compliments me, I humbly say, "It's all thanks to my mother's good education." It was her wisdom and vision that made me who I am today. "
In this way, with the spiritual support of my mother, my brother and I embarked on a new path in life.
We are becoming wiser and more responsible, just as our mothers expected. We support each other, encourage each other, and grow together. With each other's support, we have overcome one difficulty after another and conquered one peak after another.
Sometimes when we think about the past, both of us brothers are filled with emotion. "If we had continued to quarrel like that, I am afraid that the relationship would have been completely ruined. My brother often said, "Fortunately, my mother woke me up in time." "
"Yes, thanks to my mother's wisdom and vision. I would say with deep feeling, "She used her own way to help us find our way forward." "
Whenever we said this, my brothers and I would look at each other and smile as if we had a soul in our hearts. The bits and pieces of it are like torches, illuminating our way to the future.
Yes, Mother is our lifelong mentor and our eternal spiritual pillar. As long as we always cherish the thoughts and respect for her, we will be able to overcome obstacles, move forward bravely, and become a good person who is useful to society. Let's take our mother's example and regain our spirits and start anew!
