May the years be gentle.

My mother had a rough life, but she was optimistic by nature and always had a smile on her face, as if the word sadness was not in her dictionary.

My grandfather died when my mother 12 years old. There are four sisters in the family. She is the eldest. Grandma is weak and young, and orphans and widows are bullied. Young mothers have to do everything, earn work points, chop firewood and carry water, take care of younger siblings and cook for chickens. The hardships of life have honed my mother. The mother who grew up in bitter water is strong, generous, optimistic and enthusiastic.

16 years old, my mother was introduced to marry my father. At an inexperienced age, if you don't know anything about marriage, you become a wife. My father has five brothers and sisters. He is also the boss, and his family is poor. When my mother got married, she just fell from one misfortune to another. After several years of marriage, my father suffered from sciatica. As a husband, he didn't become a mother's dependence. On the contrary, his mother sought medical advice and medicine everywhere to take care of him. As long as I can remember, I felt that my mother was the pillar of my family and a superman.

She gave birth to our four sisters. Her father is weak and sick, and her mother just grits her teeth and treats herself like a man. Whether at home or outside, she never asks for help easily. I remember when I was a child, we worked with my mother in the underground field of Daiyue. At noon, in the scorching sun, everyone else is taking a lunch break, but my mother is carrying straw. She is not tall, and the wet grass has worn many skins on her shoulders. After the straw was dried, my mother stood on the haystack, and our sisters sent the straw to her and piled it into a conical haystack. In order to support the family and send us to school, my mother tried many businesses: screening sand in Wujiang River, catching eels in rice fields, feeding cattle and raising pigs, brewing rice wine and making koji. Every little makes a mickle. It is also because I was overworked when I was young, so I was old before I was old, and I was sick all over.

Fate sometimes takes a nap and doesn't take special care of a person who is soaked in bitter water like her mother, and sometimes even adds more pain to her. According to my mother, her leg suffered two serious crimes. Once in the production team, digging in the paddy field, her foot slipped, and the sharp rake teeth in her hand pierced her calf and pierced it. That kind of pain should be unimaginable to ordinary people. People said that her face changed at that time, but she didn't cry. Another time, more than ten years ago, my mother planted rice seedlings in paddy fields. After going up the hill, I wonder if she is tired or something. Her foot tripped over something, and a six-yard-thick silk tore a big hole in her calf. The neighbors who heard the news in the next field were all aunts. She looked at her bleeding hole and burst into tears. Mother also comforted her: "Why are you crying? So far away from your heart, you can't die. Stop crying! " "

Decades of fatigue have made my mother break down from constant overwork and suffer from rheumatism, bone spurs, lumbar disc herniation, hypertension, coronary heart disease and other diseases. Especially rheumatism, her knees, fingers and toes are severely deformed. She saw a lot of doctors, but she didn't get better after using various drugs. Sleeping at night is often too painful to sleep, but she never complains. Her reason for not humming is: What's the use of humming? Hump is very painful, even if you don't hum. Make others uncomfortable!

Although she suffered so much, those sufferings did not make her mother complain. On the contrary, she is enthusiastic and optimistic. Every time a guest comes to our house, whether it's our sister's childhood classmate or relatives and friends at home, she always smiles and asks for help. Whether it is difficult at home or when the conditions are good, she will do her best to entertain, and she never hides what she can bring out to entertain. What my mother said most was: Be like one, or I'm sorry.

Although my mother doesn't read many books, she can write and calculate, be eloquent and have a very good memory. She remembers what she saw and heard very clearly. Can tell stories, vivid; Can tell jokes, others laugh their heads off; Can sing excerpts from ancient paintings and operas, beautiful and beautiful; You can also recite the music that sent the God of Wealth and the God of Land to the bridal chamber, with a harmonious rhyme. It is because of her enthusiasm, optimism and openness that she is popular everywhere and can bring happiness to others.

My mother is diligent in her hands and feet, and keeps the vegetable attendants at home smooth and fertile. Besides serving her own family, many vegetables were given to relatives and friends. She remembers the birthdays of relatives and friends, even the children's birthdays, and will personally send gifts and blessings when the day comes. If she can't walk for several years, she will call to wish her well. She treats others sincerely, and others treat her sincerely. I remember when I was a child, it was difficult for my family to borrow money. In such a family situation, it is difficult to get a loan from a credit cooperative, but my mother can. Now my legs and feet are inconvenient, and sometimes I want to buy something, but when my family is not free, my neighbors will run errands for her.

My mother is straightforward and usually cares about other people's feelings, but she will be outspoken when she encounters grievances. I think if she lived in ancient times, she must be the kind of generous woman. The contradiction between relatives and friends, she will be outspoken when she knows it, and she is a good "civil mediator" among her neighbors. Mom is also the kind of person who has strong opinions. When others are hesitant, they also like to ask her. She will discuss the matter according to its own merits, tirelessly analyze it and find an effective solution.

If life is compared to the trajectory of the sun, mother is undoubtedly dusk. May she suffer less from illness for the rest of her life. Such a woman deserves to be treated gently by years.
