Mother-the brightest star in the starry sky

It has been more than twenty years since mother left us. Whenever I stand in front of my mother's grave, whenever I touch her portrait, whenever I walk into a familiar old house in my hometown, whenever I stare at my lonely and elderly father, whenever ..., my eyes are always filled with sad tears.

My mother was born on May 28th. 1934. She raised our five sons and two daughters. If she is still alive, our children and her dozen grandchildren, nephews and nieces will be surrounded by their parents. What a happy atmosphere that will be. But now, the heart is there, and people have nowhere to see it. We will always be accompanied by infinite regrets and unforgettable thoughts.

My mother entered the Huo family at the age of twenty. Since then, she has shouldered the burden of family life. She and her father are ordinary workers, who have to go to work and do housework. Although life is dull, it is very happy. 1962, under the background of national economic adjustment, my mother responded to the call of the country and led her younger brother and sister back to the countryside. She changed from a worker to a farmer. However, we can't see any loss and regret from her face, and we still work happily with the farmers in the fields. 1978, when the country implemented the urban compression policy, her mother and sister-in-law returned to the city from the countryside. She still hasn't asked the state for any compensation. Over the years, she has been contributing everything to the country and society in obscurity, never asking for anything in return or appreciation. And repeatedly asked us to do our duty.

Mother is a very diligent person. She has been busy all her life and seldom has leisure time. In our family, she gets up the earliest every day. After making breakfast for our father at work and our students at school, she has to cut the dishes for lunch, fill up all the things at home, and rush to the fields to work with the members. Day and night when it rains, I have to mend and wash my family. After returning to the city, in order to subsidize her family, she sold fruits, sewed tarpaulins for her father's factory, and posted matchboxes and medicine boxes. We seldom see the tired expression on her face. Only when she takes a lunch break and sleeps at night can we see the leisure in her sleep.

Mother is a very thrifty person. Because the family has a large population and my father's salary is not much, my mother has always been cautious. With her unremitting efforts, she shared the pressure of her father's life and became his right-hand man and wife. When living in the countryside, whenever the production team divides vegetables, she always picks up the cabbage, cabbage leaves and radishes thrown away in the vegetable field and washes them to make exquisite side dishes. After the production team harvested the sweet potatoes, she must take us to dig the small potatoes left in the field. Once she finds the big sweet potato, there is always a happy smile on her face. Every autumn, she always pickled two pots of vegetables for her family. She often tells us that "a can of vegetables is worth a can of rice, and a can of beans is worth a can of water". She also used the open space in front of the house to raise chickens, rabbits, pigs and dig vegetable pits to make her family's life prosperous. As long as we can remember, we haven't seen her buy herself decent new clothes. She has a trapeze sewing machine, and almost all our clothes come from her hands. She is always from big to small, from long to short, even if she puts on a patch, it makes people feel very comfortable.

Mother is a very enthusiastic person. She regards helping others as a pleasure. As long as someone entrusts her with something, she always does it wholeheartedly. She has many friends and sworn sisters, so we have many aunts. Our home can be called a "guest house" for relatives and friends in the countryside, and relatives and friends come to eat and live everywhere. Mother always gives everything she has and receives her warmly. Almost half of the monthly living expenses at home are used for reception, but mom is not unhappy at all. My mother is also an active participant in public welfare activities, active in the study group of the production team, publicity in the office, fitness venues and so on. Some movies have her glorious image. She has a leather bag full of cupping. As long as the neighbor is uncomfortable, she always goes to physical therapy rain or shine. Every year, her sewing machine is always full of new clothes made by relatives and friends. We can only make our new clothes on New Year's Eve and the beginning of New Year's Day every year.

Mom is a caring person. Mom loves relatives and friends, and mom loves us very much. She sent our brother and sister to school and society one by one. For the three meals a day of the family, she always lets her father and us eat dry first, and finally she drinks thin. When we are sick, she always stays by the bed day and night, feeding medicine, cupping, scraping and cooking a bowl of hot egg noodle soup. Sometimes, we forget to take medicine. She sends the medicine to the classroom and watches us eat before leaving. In order to see a doctor, she often goes to school to ask for leave. She only has us in her heart, not herself. Because of worrying day and night and working all the year round, my white hair climbed up my mother's forehead prematurely, and I also suffered from headache, arthritis, lumbar disc herniation and hyperosteogeny. But my mother has been enduring the pain and doesn't want us to see it. She often uses a phrase "You hurt, you hurt, it's me anyway" to motivate herself. Mother is very strict with us, especially in life and work, and we are not allowed to be a little sloppy. There is not a brother and sister who has not been scolded by her. At that time, we all felt inexplicable grievances and sadness. I didn't know until I grew up that it was because of her strictness that we achieved our present career. How much love and affection does this severity contain? Mother is indeed the first mentor in our life. She loves us more than anything in the world. Whenever one of our brothers and sisters goes to school or work in other places, she always puts us on the train and tells us to take care of ourselves and not to miss home. When she comes home, she is always in tears. For those of us who are far away from home, she looks forward to the call of the postman day and night. She always looks at every letter, and a tear is spilled on the stationery.

Mother is a filial person. She always cares about our grandparents. Whenever they are sick or in poor health, their mothers always find their own doctors, buy their own medicines and feed them, and are always waiting for them. On holidays, my mother always makes new clothes and buys cakes and snacks for the elderly. As the eldest son, I rode my bike with my mother to the countryside where my grandparents and aunts lived. My mother sitting behind me leaned close to me and pushed her left leg from time to time, as if she could share my pedaling force. In order to visit the elderly at any time and not delay my study, she has learned to ride a bicycle in her forties and often runs around dozens of miles of dirt roads in urban and rural areas. When the old people live in our house, mother always brings the first bowl of hot rice. After grandma died, my mother took grandpa to our house and waited on him all the time. Grandpa always said that mom is a rare good daughter-in-law of the Huo family.

Mom is a persistent person. She has never been to school since she was a child, but through hard work, she knows a lot of words and can write simple letters. She can not only sew, tailor and embroider, but also plant, breed and cupping. In her study, work and daily life, she always perseveres in doing everything she looks for, and she is very serious and satisfied. She often teaches us that there are only unexpected things and nothing impossible in the world. Her spirit touched the whole family and infected relatives, friends and neighbors. Everyone is willing to consult her and associate with her.

I remember when I was a child, my grandmother told us that there were so many stars in the sky as there were people in the world. After death, the soul ascends to heaven and the stars shine. The more good things you do before you die, the brighter the stars. Countless nights, I looked up at the stars and looked for my mother's stars. I saw the brightest star, but I never heard my mother's voice. ...

1At 03: 30 on September 25th, 994, my mother left us forever. She walked so fast and so peacefully. We never thought that her 60th birthday toast would be our last blessing to her. I never thought that the reunion of Mid-Autumn Festival was the last festival we spent with her. I never thought that her farewell of seeing us to the door again was our last farewell.

Mother has suffered a lot in her life, but we have never heard any regrets and complaints from her. Today, we live in a spacious and bright building and can't see her busy figure; When we are driving on the road, we can't see her happy face; When we went into the luxury hotel for dinner, we couldn't hear her hearty laughter.

Mother's life is an ordinary life, but also an admirable life. Her selfless, industrious, virtuous and filial character and industrious, helpful and enterprising spirit are our precious legacy, which will inspire us to forge ahead on the road of life.

? Mom, we will miss you forever!

? Mom, you will live in our hearts forever!
