The bleak autumn wind blows off a leaf. The fallen leaf floats in the most beautiful arc in the air, and then falls. This is autumn. My mother-in-law once told me that her favorite season is autumn, and her love for me is as deep as autumn.
Since I came into this world, my mother-in-law has shouldered the "important responsibility" of taking care of me. At that time, she was already over fifty years old, and the vicissitudes of life on her face were increasing day by day, but I felt that my mother-in-law was the most beautiful. people. I was like a child waiting for food, greedily sucking in the endless love from my mother-in-law.
In the autumn when I was five years old, I got seriously ill. I kept vomiting at home and had a fever all over my body. Since my parents have been working outside the home, my mother-in-law is the only one at home. My mother-in-law didn't want to bother my parents, so she carried me to the hospital on her own. I lay on my mother-in-law's rickety back, and she kept walking with me on her back. I seemed to feel her rapid breathing. Several times she seemed to want to stop and rest for a while, but she just paused and continued walking. My mother-in-law's skinny body turned out to be as tall as a mountain peak, which warmed my young heart.
My mother-in-law is getting older and older, and I am growing up. In the past, I would always hold my hand and go to Zhongshan Park every autumn, but one autumn, it was I who supported my mother-in-law to the park. We sat on a stone bench. The ground was covered with fallen leaves. There were still a few leaves floating in the air, and one fell on my shoulder. My mother-in-law gently pushed away the leaf and said to me: "My mother-in-law has a low education. She has only learned this sentence in her life, 'The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop; the child wants to support but the relatives are not there.' You have to be obedient and don't talk to your parents." Condemned, they all love you, you know..." I nodded in understanding. After returning from Zhongshan Park that time, my mother-in-law's health became worse and worse, but she insisted not to seek medical treatment and wanted to return to her hometown. She said: "That is where I belong."
My mother-in-law passed away in the autumn, and she eventually returned to her longed-for hometown. It was already late autumn when we went to the funeral. The wind in my hometown was mixed with some dust, and I couldn't help but shed tears. My mother told me that my mother-in-law’s life was full of ups and downs and hardships. I didn't see the last side of my mother-in-law, and I don't know if she passed away peacefully. The fallen leaves flew into the air like yellow butterflies. The wind was still waiting, and the branches swayed randomly, as if they were struggling feebly. There seems to be a voice singing hysterically in my ears, whispering a requiem for this autumn:
“The tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping, the child wants to be raised but the mother is not there.
