There is a public service advertisement on CCTV: "When you are admitted to the university, your mother will enjoy happiness; Mom will be happy when you graduate and work; When you get married and have children, your mother will be very happy ... Grandma, when I grow up, I will make you happy ... "... My hometown is in the countryside of northern Jiangsu. When I was a child, my father worked in an oil field and went home for a vacation once a year. My mother not only has to look after the three of us, but also has to plant more than ten acres of land, sowing, fertilizing, spraying drugs and harvesting endless farm work. Mother often says that her knee pain is the sequela of her hard work. When I was in primary school, my family followed my father to the oil field. Gradually, we grew up, worked, got married and had children of our own. Just like the public service advertisements broadcast by CCTV, I often ask myself, is mom happy now?
In the eyes of parents, children are always children. Although my mother's granddaughters and grandchildren have grown up, we are still children in my mother's heart. She still cares about the children every day and silently cares about them. Because of my work, I am the closest of my mother's three children. My mother is worried that I often can't eat well at home alone, and often calls me: "I made ribs (or other meals) today, and I will come back from work for dinner at noon." Every time after dinner, my mother will bring me some jiaozi, steamed bread, sauerkraut and so on. I said, "mom, look, I ate it and still have it." This is called eating and taking. " . Although my mother's cooking tastes light, I always think it is the most delicious. Every time I go home, my mother cooks and my father washes dishes and pans. Mother said, "Don't come to the kitchen, you will get greasy clothes"; "Let your father wash it. He has nothing to do all day. You are tired from work. Go to bed and rest at noon! " . At this time, my happiness always seems to overflow.
Usually, there are only two people at home, mom and dad, and the elderly are inevitably lonely. My mother has leg disease, and it hurts to walk from home to the door of the community, so my mother seldom goes out. After dinner, she walked slowly in front and behind the building. In a year, the most anticipated day for parents is the Spring Festival, because only three sisters and three brothers can come back during the Spring Festival. Chinese New Year is a day of reunion, joy and expectation, and it is also the busiest and most tiring day for parents. More than a month before the Chinese New Year 1, my mother and father began to buy new year's goods in supermarkets and markets. Mutton, beef, pork leg and pig head, ribs and chicken feet, prawns, fresh fish, vegetables and fruits are all available. In the twelfth lunar month, it's icy and snowy, and the wind is cold. Regardless of the leg pain and the cold, the mother rides a bicycle (sometimes a tricycle) to run east street and west street, just to feed her children well. One year near the end of the year, I met my mother who went to buy new year's goods at the door of the office. My mother struggled to pedal her bike with snowflakes in the cold wind. I stopped her and said, "Mom, it's so cold and windy, so don't go." Mom said, "It's almost New Year's Eve, and I haven't bought any chickens yet. I'm going to collect it. " I said, "Why don't I go? The wind is so strong that my legs are not good. " . Mom said, "I'd better go. You won't buy it." Actually, I also know that my mother won't let me go. She's worried that I won't spend a lot of money on it. As a result, my mother ran for a day and caught a cold and had a fever that night. I still remember this incident vividly, and my mother's bent figure is engraved in my heart in the cold wind. Every new year, more than a dozen people have to prepare the ingredients for the meal. My parents' refrigerator can't hold them, and our refrigerator is full. I always tease my mother: "Mom, let's move our refrigerator to your house. It's almost your refrigerator." After the New Year, my sister and brother are going home. My mother always brings sausages, bacon, ducks and so on. She often says, "Your brother is far away and comes back once a year. Things there are expensive, so I have to let them eat well when I go home. " . It's the Spring Festival, everyone has left, and there is still a lot of food in the refrigerator. I said to my mother, "Mom, you see there is so much left this year, so buy less next year. Now the supermarket is open on the first day. " Mother agreed, "Yes, there are so many left. I really want to buy less next year. " But the next year, I only bought a lot more than the previous years, year after year.
In recent years, one of our three brothers and sisters has bought a house or a car. Whether buying a house or a car, my mother will give us her little savings. Mother said, "I won't give you much first, as long as your father and I earn enough food every month." In fact, parents are usually very frugal, and a dish costs half a day, but they are very willing to give up their children. Their dedication to their children is to let them live a beautiful and happy life.
When my mother is old, she is not only deaf, but also spends a lot of money on her eyes. Mother bought dozens of pairs of slippers soles and made slippers with flannel as uppers. Every time I go home and see my mother wearing reading glasses and sewing cloth slippers, I feel that slippers are more than ten yuan a pair in the supermarket. Why bother? I said to my mother, "mom, a pair of slippers won't last for a few years." You buy so many soles and make so many slippers, who are you going to wear them for? " Mother said, "My eyes are dying and I can't do anything for two years. I will make more pairs for each of you. " Send some pairs to your aunt's house and uncle's house. The slippers made are strong and comfortable to wear. "My mother's hand is very dexterous. I remember when I was a child, my neighbors often asked my mother to cut out clothes. The sweater knitted by my mother is fashionable and beautiful in color. The sleeves of the trousers I bought now are all long. I'll take them home and ask my mother to cut them shorter. My mother changed her vest and clothes with old clothes. They look beautiful.
My mother is an ordinary family member and an ordinary woman accompanying the mine. My mother's diligence, simplicity and kindness influenced me, and she gave us the love of our life. At the moment, CCTV's public service advertisement lingers in my ear: "When you are admitted to the university, your mother will enjoy happiness;" Mom will be happy when you graduate and work; When you get married and have children, your mother will be very happy ... Grandma, when I grow up, I will make you happy ... "Although I can't give my parents much happiness, I can stay with them. As long as my parents call me, I can go back to my parents immediately. This is my happiness, my parents' happiness and the envy of my sister and brother.
I will always be a child with my parents and a child with a family with my parents. I feel very happy eating my mother's cooking, watching my mother sew slippers, listening to my parents' nagging and making me happy. Thank my parents for giving me life, nurturing me and giving me a warm home.
As the saying goes: the health and safety of parents is the greatest happiness of children. I pray that my parents will be healthy all their lives!
