In the late evening of the Moon,

The whole family is sorrowful and filial piety first;

Wash your face with the tears of your loved ones,

It was even more tragic to go to an empty house.

Time flew by mercilessly. Soon, it was New Year's Day 1994. During New Year's Day, Zi Peng took two days off. For the past two days, he had been at home with his sick mother and hadn't gone anywhere.

Since the beginning of winter, my mother's illness had always been at times good and at times bad. Since leaving the hospital on December 8, 93, his mental state has been good, he has eaten too little in the area of diet and spends his days drinking plain water. Zi Peng was also deeply worried about his mother's illness. Thus, on the 5th of January, he went to the Power plant Hospital.

On January 20, 1994, her mother's condition improved again, and she was discharged from the hospital. She said:

"Let me go back. This place is not as good as my home."

Because January 25th was her eighty-first birthday. Therefore, Zi Peng agreed with his mother. On the afternoon of the 20th of January, he finished the discharge procedures and returned home.

On the third day of January, my mother's goddaughter, Licha, came to see her and brought her a number of hot spoons. Because Zi Peng was at work that day, he didn't see Lixia. After work, his mother told Zi Peng that Lixia had come to see him today. That day, she and her mother chatted all morning until they had finished lunch before coming back. If she ate here, she thought, maybe her brother would come back to see her.

Who knew that Zi Peng would go to City to do some work that day and not come back for lunch? This made Lixia very disappointed. She waited until after two in the afternoon before taking her leave and returning home.

His mother and Lechang were on good terms, and their words were quite compatible. Lichang was also loved by his mother because she would be coming to see him. Before he left, his mother took Lixia's hand and said:

"Child, don't come visit me if you don't have time in the future. This is my old ailment, I won't die in a short while. "

When Lisa heard her mother's words, she felt bitter inside. Holding her mother's hand, she smiled and said to her mother:

"Mother, in a few days, it will be your 81st birthday. "I will come again to offer you my birthday wishes when the time comes."

After saying that, she reluctantly parted with her mother. Tsinghua University was at home, escorting her to the entrance. Tsinghua University said:

"Auntie, take care. Come when you have time."

"Tsinghua, go back. I'll be there."

After saying that, she walked in the direction of the sixth team …

January 25th. Lunar New Year's Eve. Today, it was extremely cold. The temperature reached -31 degrees Celsius.

This day was Zi Peng's mother's 81st birthday. This ordinary old man from the countryside, who grew up in the old society, had been through all sorts of hardships; he had suffered all kinds of hardships. Finally came the birth of New China; finally came the hope that her own son could earn money to support her; finally came the hope that she would live a happy life without any worries. Along the way, the rough, stormy road through 80 spring, summer, autumn and winter, welcoming the 81st birthday.

From the beginning of winter until now, my mother's illness has not completely recovered, at times good and at times bad. He was hospitalized twice in the Power plant. The first time was from 1 to 8 December 1993; the second time was from 5 to 20 January this year …

Today, my mother was in good spirits and was able to sit up on her own. At 8 in the morning, Zi Peng's elder brother, younger sister, and third brother brought their families one by one to Zi Peng's home. Soon after, the sixth group of Old Neighbor s, as well as their neighbors and Family and friends s, all arrived at Zi Peng's home. It added a cheerful atmosphere to the previously peaceful family.

At 8: 30, the family of three arrived at Zi Peng's house. Lixia visited her mother once on January 3 and brought a lot of hot spoons. This time, he had come specifically to congratulate his mother on her birthday.

The arrival of Lixia had added to the happiness of her mother. The mother took her hand and asked, very affectionately. Licha said;

"Mom, today is your 81st birthday. "You see, with so many people here to celebrate your birthday, you are very fortunate."

Mother was very happy to see Lixia. She invited Lixia to sit with the kang and said sincerely:

"Child, I dreamt of you a few times, and you were always by my side, talking to me. But when I woke up, I knew I was dreaming. "

Lixia felt the love of her mother, there was a sweet feeling in her heart. Holding her mother's hand, she passionately said:

"Mother, I missed you too!" If it weren't for your birthday today, I would have come to see you. I was thinking at home that it was going to be my mother's birthday soon, so I'll come and see you then. That's why we have waited until today. "

Mother treated Lisa as if she were her own child. Seeing how sensible she was, she liked her even more. After listening to the words of Lisha, his mother continued,

"Child, you've come. I feel much better. Today, the two of us will have a good chat. "

When she saw the look of joy on her mother's face, she felt very happy as well. She tried to be honest with her mother and said:

"Mother, your life has been tough enough. However, he was still happy for the rest of his life. At least you have a filial son like second brother to honor you. "

When Mother heard what Liza had said, she felt that it made a lot of sense. So Mother said …

"Child, mother didn't live a good life in the first half of her life. Zi Peng has grown up. I am only getting better day by day. "

Lixia felt it was good to have a mother's love ever since she had adopted Zi Peng's mother as her own mother. Thinking of this, she said,

"Mother, I lost my mother when I was young. When I saw you, it was as if I saw my own mother. I felt especially good. So, I thought, if you were my mother? Pity me, poor man, I don't even have a mother. "Last year, when you took me in as your daughter, I was so happy."

When her mother heard this, she felt the same way. Wasn't that what she was thinking in her heart? She went on to say:

"Child, mother thinks the same. Ever since the day I saw you, Mother had a strange thought: If you were my child, how nice would it be? Not only are you good-looking, but you're also very sensible and likeable. At that time, I also let my imagination run wild. I was scared to say it out loud, but you didn't want to do it. "So, we dropped this matter."

At this moment, the girl was obviously very excited. She used her big watery eyes to look at her mother with deep emotion and said,

"Mother, ever since you took me in as your daughter last year, my heart has been filled with joy. I think I've lived thirty-seven years and finally had a mother. I've finally had a mother's love. "

At this moment, her mother was also immersed in happiness. She looked at Lixia's beautiful face and emotionally said:

"Xiao Xia, my mother's thoughts are the same as yours. When I was 6 years old, my mother passed away. I was brought up by my sister, I know there is no mother's bitterness. Therefore, when you talk about having no mother, I feel sorry for you. That's why I recognize you as my daughter. "How about, I'm not talking about this at my age?"

Lixia was feeling the same as her mother. She looked at her mother's smiling face and said with deep emotion:

"Mother, for us two mother to be together, this is fate. This is also a matter of fate; it is also the contribution of my second brother. If I didn't know second brother, I wouldn't have known you. That's why, in the end, we have to thank our second brother for being able to become mother and daughter. Mother, all these years, my second brother has truly contributed a lot to our family.

His mother also felt the same way when she heard what she said. She went on to say:

"Xiao Xia, your second brother is a straightforward person. He doesn't have a crooked eye. If anyone is able to get along with him, then he can give their heart to others to eat. "

Lisa felt that her mother's words made a lot of sense. During these six years, she and Zi Peng had already become familiar with him. Listening to her mother's words, she could not help but sigh and say:

"Mother, you are right. My second brother is truly a good person. I am afraid that I will never be able to repay the kindness he has given me in this lifetime. "

My mother and Lisa sat together. Then there would be endless things to say. After listening to the words of Lisha, his mother continued,

"Xiao Xia, now that you two are siblings, what are you going to say about not repaying me?" From the first day I met you, I had a favorable impression of you, as if I had seen you somewhere before. But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't recall anything about it. Look at the children in our family, they are all very close to you. When I see you normally, it's always the aunt calling you short. "Now, don't call me Aunt, it's all Auntie."

Lixia also especially liked Zi Peng's three daughters, just like what her mother said just now. After listening to her mother's explanation, Lixia said with infinite emotion:

"Mother, I was so happy when I heard them call me sister-in-law. "Mom, don't say it. These nieces of mine are very sensible, I like them quite a bit too."

While Rosia and her mother were talking, the table was already filled with food. Tsinghua University came over to greet his grandma and sister-in-law for dinner. Lixia and Tsinghua University helped their mother to sit at the table. Her mother was naturally very happy when she saw the room full of people celebrating her birthday.

Her mother was sitting in the middle of the table. On her left was Chun Lan, while on her right was Lia Xia.

Zi Peng filled everyone's cups with wine and said,

"My Family and friends, my brothers and sisters, today is my mother's 81st birthday, thank you all for coming to celebrate her birthday! I'll prepare some light wine and dishes here. I hope everyone can have a good meal and have a good drink. Here, let me toast everyone. I wish you good health and good spirits! In addition, the Spring Festival is coming soon, I pay my respects to you all in your early years, I wish you all a happy Spring Festival, everything is well! "Let's toast!"

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

After Zipeng had given everyone their toasts, he walked up to his mother. Seeing that his mother was in good spirits today, he said:

"Mom, it's your 81st birthday today, so you have to eat and drink well."

His mother was naturally overjoyed to see so many people come for his birthday. She faced Zi Peng's smiling face and said:

"Zi Peng." You don't need to worry about my mom's place. Just have your two little sisters to accompany me.

When Zi Peng heard his mother say this, he could only agree and say:

"Mom, that's good too. I'll be going now."

After he finished speaking, Zi Peng left his mother and went to call for everyone to eat and drink. After about an hour, the banquet finally ended. The guests who had come to offer their birthday were all leaving one after another. Only Lixia was still accompanying her mother and talking to her.

It was 5 o'clock in the evening. The family of Lisha took their leave as Family Zipeng walked her family out of the main gate. Because the sky was short, the sky was already filled with the stars, and the whole family had disappeared into the night …
