Family story of illiterate mother

When my mother was a child, her family was poor and she had many sisters. She has never been to school and knows nothing except a few Arabic numerals. Living in the countryside is easier said than done. Later, my family followed my father and settled in the city. It's a big problem just that my mother goes out to go to the bathroom. She can't tell the difference between men and women. As a result, my mother usually doesn't go to the bathroom outside. When it is absolutely necessary, she just waits, waiting for someone to come in and out, and then make a judgment.

When I was in high school, there were at least two parent-teacher conferences in my class every semester. Every time I want my father to go, I never tell my mother about the parent-teacher conference. Mom can't read, even if she holds a report card, she can't read it, making teachers and classmates laugh!

At the end of the semester, there was a parent-teacher meeting, but my father was on a business trip. According to the requirements of the school, parents must attend. I was going to let my sister take the place, but my mother said she would go. Not wanting to embarrass my mother too much, I reluctantly agreed.

I told my mother repeatedly that I just sat there listening to others and never talked. As a result, after the teacher handed out the report card, he began to call the roll for parents to speak. Unfortunately, mother was the first to be named. Mother has never experienced such an occasion. She stood up in fear. She can't read, so she can't know whether I did well or not, let alone what to say.

At this time, all the parents looked at their mother and smiled.

When my mother came home, I was furious with her. I complain that my mother has gone too far and shouldn't volunteer to attend the parent-teacher conference. I complain that my mother's adaptability is too poor, even if I say a few words casually, it won't be too embarrassing; I complain that my mother can't read, can't read. How to look up in front of classmates in the future? My mother didn't say a word, doing housework silently, like a wrong pupil.

Once when I came home from school, my mother had not finished shopping. On the old newspaper on the coffee table, I found a crooked word. I will see this "heavenly book" for several days. On my way to school that morning, I remembered that there was physical education class in the morning, and I forgot to bring my basketball. I turned and hurried home, and I was shocked when I opened the door. I saw my mother holding my primary school textbook in one hand and the pencil tip I threw into the trash can in the other, lying on the coffee table, writing "word" seriously. When my mother saw me, her face was full of embarrassment. She smiled and turned to me and said, "You can teach my mother to practice calligraphy in the future. I learned to write, and then I will have a parent-teacher meeting, which will not embarrass you. "

My nose hurts and tears come to my eyes.
