When she gave birth to me, she fought with the doctors and nurses in the health station for 24 hours. All the pregnant women who were hospitalized with her were successfully unloaded. Only she has been in a coma on the operating table, feeling the cold pliers tossed and turned in her stomach, and her intestines were pulled out and stuffed in. Later, my mother finally shouted and finally rescued me successfully, and fainted with excitement.

When I graduated from college, my family owed 65,438+10,000.
Menstruation called my mother in the middle of the night, and every word came to collect money coldly. "You three make money, and we are widowed. How can we live in the future! "
When my mother told me this on the phone, she was filled with indignation. She said that she only owed 10000 yuan, as if we had put a knife rest around their necks.
That year's mother, I don't know how many stayed up all night?
All I know is that every time I call her, she is busy. After returning home, she was reluctant to leave the business at the stall, but she still took time to meet me at the railway station.
I said, mom, don't work so hard. Your health is very important. If you don't have enough money, I will send you flowers.
Mom always said, look at the red across the street. She doesn't go home during the holiday. Couples who leave early and return late get up earlier than me and leave later than me. They are always the last to close the door. I didn't make them work hard.
When I'm away from home, my mother always says: save money and take care of yourself. Don't forget to eat when you are busy. I always deserve it, but I can't always be the good boy she expects.
I take care of myself. It's sheer self-abuse. Sleep in bed if you have no money to eat. If there were no physical exertion, you wouldn't be hungry so fast.
Going out to play, reluctant to buy a plane ticket, would rather take a bus for dozens of hours.
Sometimes I forget to bring money. I can take it all day without eating or drinking. Yes, how can people who can raise cacti to death take care of themselves?
When I go out to play with girls my age, I always feel that they are delicate, perhaps because I live too rough.
At the worst time in the family, my father stood in front of my mother's window with a knife in the middle of the night, and my mother was scared to stay up all night.
Facing the broken home, she cried and comforted me on the phone.
She said, you and your brother, work hard, don't worry about things at home, and mom will hold on, so that you have no worries.
During that time, my communication with my mother was like an underground party. I said, mom, you must calm down. Don't fight hard at any time. Life is the most important thing. Occasionally, she told me about the funeral and told me the password of the bank card. If I interrupt her, mom, nonsense will ruin your mouth. Tears stay like water.
When I was most disgusted, I told my mother, why don't you two get divorced? Mother bowed her head and said nothing. She relented again, she said. After all your father has done for you, everything we have done for him is right now.
Mom hasn't read many books, but she knows many simple truths. She said that the education she received from childhood was that a person is a lifetime. No matter what happens, we must support each other and go on, and life will always get better and better.

In those days, she jumped out of bed at six o'clock every day, made breakfast for her father, warmed up her lunch, did housework, and then went to the store to start a busy day. Changing clothes, measuring trouser legs, sewing and mending, two yuan a piece, a lot, you can earn hundreds a day.
Once I went home, on New Year's Eve, my mother didn't leave until eleven o'clock. I said, mom, it's Chinese New Year today. Let's go home early. She agreed and closed the stall. It's eleven o'clock, half an hour earlier than usual.
The old man selling children's clothes next door came to say hello. Hometown, haven't you gone back? How was your day? Mother kept silent and put up three fingers. The old man smiled smugly and said that he was not as good as me. Today, I have so much. Hold up four fingers. In the cold north wind, my mother and I are holding hands. I said, mom, did you really make more than 300 yuan? She smiled mysteriously and said that she had earned 500 yuan.
I exclaimed, mom, then you are better than that old man. Why not compare him? Mom said, no, that hurts self-esteem, don't be too high-profile! I said, who the hell are you? Give me back my honest mother!
Usually honest mother, I didn't expect her to have such a cunning side. In the gale, we all laughed like crazy people. I think it was the best time, and I couldn't get it if I spent all my money.
For two years, my mother hasn't stopped from 6 am to 1 1: 30 pm. She always remembers the debts in her heart. She said she couldn't sleep well at night until she paid it off. My mother's biggest fear in her life is to owe people a favor. Her psychological quality is not good. If there is a little thing, she will be too worried to sleep and won't lie at all.
One day, she giggled on the phone. I said, mom, what about our debt? My mother dragged on, saying that there are probably thousands of dollars left, and it will be paid off soon. I couldn't wait to reach out and hug her on the phone. I said, mom, you are amazing! The ability to make money throws me a street!
Not only did I pay off my debts, but my mother also left a deposit. It really makes me doubt that she is the kind of person who earns 1000 but can save 1200.
My mother is optimistic and has never been discouraged or depressed in her life. She doesn't care about beautiful clothes. She just wants to have a good meal. She just wants us to have fun and eat whatever we want.
She said that if she ate it, it would be her own, and all her clothes were outside her body.
She also said that before the age of forty, she was cooking with her children at home and lived in a daze, feeling that she was of no other great use.
After forty, she was forced to rebel, opened up a new realm of life, and found that she was not useless.

Mom said that if her father was not seriously ill, afraid of his death and forced her to cope with life, I am afraid she would live in chaos all her life.
My mother has been a tutor for decades and has long lost her basic social skills. She is the kind of person who can't even use a bank card, let alone a smart phone or a high-end machine.
It was that year that her father forced her to get a bank card and taught her how to withdraw money step by step. Tears streamed down her face, and she didn't want to study, but she couldn't compete with her father's threats.
Before the middle school entrance examination at the age of fifteen, my mother cooked my favorite ribs, corn, lotus root soup, beef and edamame and secretly put a note in my book. I never thought my mother would do such a thing. The note says, Xiao Bo, I'm sure you will get the ideal result.
Three years later, after the college entrance examination, I went to another city to study. My mother can't be with me. When she sent me the review materials, she also attached a small notebook. In that yellowed notebook, she wrote down her decades of mental journey. Although there are only a few words on each page, it is more powerful than a thousand words in my heart.
She said that the greatest pride in this life is that we have been admitted to the university. She didn't expect to leave the village before she was with her father. After being with her father, he didn't expect to raise two excellent children. She said that if she chose again, she would not regret it.
For the sake of family, she spent decades of youth and never lived for herself. In that diary, she didn't regard me as a person to talk to, but wrote about the mood at different stages. It is the most common mother's heart in the world. Before the college entrance examination, I glanced at the message again, and my whole body seemed to have beaten chicken blood.

I went back to see my mother recently, and her two front teeth were loose. After a while, both of them fell out and talked a little, but I still smiled brightly.
Before we left, we took her to the hospital. I asked my mother, does it hurt? Mom said it didn't hurt much after anesthesia.
I said that's good. Remember to take a picture of me when your new tooth is repaired. Mom smiled and said yes. After two days, I suddenly saw the WeChat prompt at work and clicked on it. That's a photo sent by my mother. In my impression, no matter what happens, my mother will find something happy. In the past, she never experienced the joy of making money. On the contrary, after the hard life, I worked hard to make money, do what I like, earn enough money, eat delicious food, the whole family is healthy, and my mother will always be satisfied and happy.
I thank my mother. She is a strong woman in my heart, impeccable, kind and brave. Life can't destroy her, because she can always gain infinite strength in anything worthy of happiness, just like Popeye who ate spinach. She is uneducated and not smart, but she always shines with wisdom. More importantly, she vividly explained what a tough life is with practical actions, without explanation!

I'm Miss Shen. Nice to meet you.
I know you love me, not because I am beautiful. ?
