My mother went home alone to celebrate the New Year in her 60s. She cried when she wiped the family photos. They could never be together again. Why?

This is the happiness of the only family. On January 28, Duan Gailan felt emotional again about the photos he had touched for many years. A few days ago, I returned to the countryside from the city. The courtyard, which I haven’t lived in for a long time, is empty. The house is also full of dust. Her husband became critically ill five years ago, leaving Duan Gailan to support the family alone. The child has grown up. I have my own life and job. There is very little time to go home in a year. Duan Gailan, 60, recalled the family reunion a few years ago and shed tears after looking at the photos.

Duan Gailan comes from Qi Village, Luzhou, Shanxi Province. I am a real farmer. The family's income mainly comes from corn cultivation. The three children in the family are very sensible. Although life is difficult, the family stays together. The woman is a middle school student, and her two daughters have married and had children, and have their own lives and families. My son also went to college. Duan Gailan is very satisfied to see a child's future getting better and better.

Destiny is always testing each of us. Five years ago, my husband was diagnosed with terminal gastric cancer due to overwork. The backbone of the family suddenly disappeared, and Jie Bianlan's heart felt empty. More than 30 years ago. There are memories of my husband in every corner of the house. The children are not at home, so I am guarding the empty home alone.

I thought a lot. She lent all the land at home to others and decided to go to the city alone to work as a nanny. She received a monthly salary of 1,500 yuan. Duan Gailan said: "I will save money and stay in order to marry my son in the future." Duan Gailan was alone outside and had no sense of intimacy. Although his son and daughter often called to greet him, the loneliness still surged into his heart involuntarily. . When the New Year was approaching, Duan Gailan set off very early, leaving his employer's house and returning to his home in the countryside.

As soon as he entered the house, the familiar courtyard made Duan Bianlan feel warm in his heart. Because I haven't lived there for a long time, the house is full of dust. Sweep, light the fire, wipe the table, sweep neatly, and keep the house tidy. I broke last year's couplets, packed up my quilt, and bought new flour. Duan Gailan has prepared all the New Year's things. I'm waiting for my son to come back. After Duan Gailan's son graduated, he and others established a training institution. The end of the year is the busiest time. My son called me a few days ago. "You only have thirty years to go home, only one day."

Even if you stay for one day, the child will be warm when you return home. Duan Gailan said. After cleaning up the house, Duan Gailan carefully took down the family portrait from the wall, put down the rag in his hand, took off the paper towel and wiped it gently. This is a blessing for the whole family who changed the family photos before her husband passed away, and the whole family of five is not lacking. You can take a look now. No more gatherings. Looking at the family portrait, Duan Zhanlan wiped it several times, her eyes filled with tears. After being sad, she turned around again, hoping that her son would feel the warmth as soon as he entered the house.
