January 17th, the cold winter is coming to an end. The weather is very good, there is no wind and no clouds. The sun is hanging in the sky, and you can feel some warmth.

Today was Zi Peng's mother's 79th birthday. The old man had a rough life, he had suffered a lot; he had suffered a lot; he had endured a lot of hardships; he had experienced a lot of vicissitudes. He hadn't had a good day for the first half of his life. His life was better now, and he was also very old, with a head full of white hair and a hunchback that was very powerful.

Zi Peng was a filial son. From the day he was born, he and his mother had been mutually dependent on each other. He pitied his mother and doted on her. He never talked back to his mother; he never made her angry. Thus, out of the three of them, Mother only chose Zi Peng. Zi Peng's elder brother got married and left to settle his own matters. After Zi Peng's younger brother got married, he started working in the Hun Jiang, and only Zi Peng and his mother stayed together with him. He was glad to be with his mother; proud; proud.

This morning, a whole room of people from Family and friends came. There were Zi Peng's big brother's family of six, Zi Peng's sister's family of five, Zi Peng's brother's family of three, as well as six squads of Old Neighbor s and their neighbors. What made Zi Peng even happier was that his three little sister members had also come. Her arrival added joy to Zi Peng; her arrival eased the pain of his longing. Her arrival made Zi Peng feel ecstatic joy.

All the members of the Taoyuan Village were present as well, wishing their mother's birthday. The total number of people has reached more than 50.

Her mother was naturally overjoyed to see so many people come for her birthday. Especially after the arrival of the Lecha, his mother was even more happy. Lisa greeted her mother first, then went to the kitchen to help with the work.

Mother did not know why, but she had a special feeling for Liza, perhaps it was fated; perhaps it was because she was too likeable; perhaps it was because she was on good terms with Zi Peng. In short, her mother saw her as if she were her own daughter. At this time, her mother wanted to talk to her, but the moment she turned around, she was gone. Oh, the mother remembered, the boy was diligent, perhaps he had gone to the kitchen to cook. When her mother thought of this, she descended to the ground. When he came to the kitchen, he found that it was indeed true. Otherwise, how could Lixia really be helping to cut the vegetables here? So my mother called Liza into the inner room. Seeing that it was her mother who had come to look for her, Lixia was naturally very happy as well, and she pulled her mother's hand to sit on the kang.

Lisa and her mother had been on good terms, perhaps because of the loss of her mother in the early days, perhaps because of her relationship with her mother, or perhaps because of her relationship with Zi Peng. In short, they were all so close …

After Mother and Lisha sat down on the kang, Mother pulled Lisha's hand and asked long and long questions. Mother said:

"Child, I hear you are a person without a mother, right?"

Lixia looked at her mother's kind face and felt a sense of familiarity. She heard her mother ask her, and she said,

"Aunt, I've never had a mother since I was a child. It was my father who brought me up, and he even taught me to read books. No matter how old I am, this is the first time I'm getting close to you, so I'm able to taste what it's like to be a mother. "

Her mother, seeing the excitement in her eyes, exhorted her:

"Child, our fates are almost the same. I lost my mother when I was eight. "It was elder sister who brought me up. At that time, I cried everyday for my mother, and even my eyes were swollen from crying."

Listening to her mother talk about the pain of losing her mother, she said with great appreciation:

"Auntie, our experiences are almost the same. But you will be happy for the rest of your life. My second brother is very filial to you, and all of us will remember this in our hearts.

Her mother was glad to hear that. She smiled and said:

"Child, you were born in a new society, and grew up under the red flag. "Young people nowadays don't have to worry about food or clothes. I haven't lived a single day in the past for such a good life."

Lixia looked at her weather-beaten mother with a smile on her face. She also felt very happy. So she said,

"Aunt, you're right. I haven't been able to catch up to the hardships of the past. But the pain of not having a mother made me cry too much. Seeing other people have their mother's love when they go home, their own heart is especially uncomfortable. "

His mother looked at the sad look on her face because she had no mother and felt sorry for her. She continued to enlighten her by saying:

"Child, it's really hard to have a mother. If you don't mind this old woman, then come and talk to me often. This way, your heart will feel better."

When Lisa heard her mother's words, she felt much better. With tears in her eyes, she said to her mother:

"Aunty, I won't mention the unhappy things of the past. I'm satisfied with how much you love me. Aunt, my second brother is too kind. No matter who he is to people, he is always kind, always so polite, always so refined. I am very happy for you to have such a good son. "

Her mother was happy to see her, and so was she. She looked at Lixia's dignified and elegant face, which made her like it even more. At this moment, she couldn't help but think back to the unbearable experience she had when she was young. So she said to Lisa,

"Child, when I was your age, I was suffering. You have to eat nothing at home, wear nothing, and even send your big brother and second brother to school. "When I think about it, I feel like dying in my heart."

As she watched her mother grieve over the past, her heart ached as well. She used a handkerchief to wipe the tears that had leaked out of her eyes and softly said to her mother:

"Aunt, the past is over, please don't be sad." How nice it is now! My second brother is filial to you, your three granddaughters are always around you. I really admire you, old man. "

When her mother saw that she was so sensible, she loved her even more. She pulled her hand and carefully observed it as she talked to her.

"Yes, I am happy now. Such a good life, in the old society, he didn't even dare to think about it. But now, they had all become reality. Zi Peng, this child, is really sensible. In order to make me happy, he even borrowed money to buy a color TV set. "

Lixia saw that her mother was laughing so hard that her eyes were filled with tears. She felt especially happy in her heart. So she said,

"Aunt, you're so lucky right now. You see, the people who brought you today for your birthday are packed in, and even I am happy for you. This is also my second brother's ability, if it were another person's house, how could the old people's birthdays be so grand? "

When her mother heard this, she naturally felt happy in her heart. Mother thought to herself: Yes, I have lived for so long, but it is only after Zipeng became the secretary that so many people are willing to come to my birthday. Although he was old now, he was relieved to see how promising Zi Peng was. When her mother thought of this, she smiled and said to Lixia:

"Child, I feel especially happy today. With so many people here to celebrate my birthday, how can I not be happy? But the most important pleasure is still yours. Because you and I are poor people, I especially like you. You are here to accompany me, to talk to me. I felt especially happy and happy. At noon today, you must eat more and drink more. "

He was touched by her mother's words. Holding her mother's hand, she excitedly said:

"Aunt, thank you for thinking so highly of me. Although I have never had a mother since I was young, ever since I met you, I have treated you as my mother. The warmth and love you gave me made me feel the value of motherly love. Auntie, I'll tell you about it today. It's already past 11 o'clock and dinner is about to start. I went to the kitchen to look around and help them. I'll come and accompany you after dinner. "

Lisa was a diligent person. After saying that, she went to the kitchen. Her mother also went to the kitchen to send her off. With eyes that were reluctant to part, she sent her all the way to the kitchen …

This time, Ding Xiaofeng was also doing very well. Seeing that Lixia had come, she did not make any unusual movements, and even greeted her with a smile on her face. This made Lixia's heart very warm, as if there was a warm current flowing out from the bottom of her heart, spreading all over her body.

At about 11: 40, the meal was ready. There were a total of five tables, each filled with people. Today's dishes were very sumptuous, the 12 dishes filled the table to the brim. There are grilled chicken, crispy roast duck, red-braised elbow, stewed carp, salted prawns, stewed beef, chilli belly slice, stewed sausage, fried garlic, fried green peppers, powdered cucumber, meat skin green jelly. In addition, Zipeng also prepared white wine, beer, wine, champagne and soda.

After Zipeng filled everyone's cups with wine, he picked up a glass of beer (because Zipeng couldn't drink white wine) and stood in the middle of the room. He looked at everyone and then gave a deep bow. He said:

": Today is my mother's 79th birthday, we welcome everyone here! I have prepared a common meal for everyone, which is disrespectful. I hope everyone has a good meal, a good drink, and a good time. Besides, the Spring Festival was coming up soon. Taking this opportunity, I wish you all a happy Spring Festival and all the best! "Here, everyone raise your glasses. I toast everyone on behalf of my mother. Cheers!"

After Zi Peng finished speaking, he gulped down a glass of beer. The others all drained their cups as well …

It was close to one in the afternoon, and the banquet had already dispersed. The officials from Family and friends, Old Neighbor and the village all bade farewell and left. The family of three said their goodbyes and went back. Thus, Zi Peng's family sent them out of the main gate …
