□ Li Donghong

I returned to the village to the tomb to the tomb. Early in the morning, it was just dawn, and a hurry knocking on the door woke me up from my sleep.

Getting up and opening the door, it was the eighty -year -old surname Liu in the village. Liu Yezi was holding a crutch, her ears were a bit back, and she hadn't seen it for many years. She basically didn't recognize me.

"Is it Donghong? Are your sister at home?" Liu Yezi asked.

I hurriedly moved a stool, let the dumplings sit down, and called the sister who watered the ground. After a while, my sister returned from the ground riding an electric car, and the two sat in the yard and spoke. I moved a stool and sat aside.

Liu Xizi has several children, most of them work in other places, and only one son still lives in the village. Liu Xizi was living in the village at the beginning. Because of his age, he took turns to live in the family in other places all year round. Yesterday, he returned from the children's house in other places and returned to the son of the village.

The sister -in -law and sister said, and suddenly took 50 yuan from the pocket to the sister, "Qin Ying, don't think you are less. Burn back for me to burn a paper for me. "

The sister resolutely resigned, and the two kept fighting.

"If you don't want it, I will be angry. This is for my mother -in -law. The two mother -in -law and the two were for decades. My mother was gone. I often miss her ..." Xunzi said, with tears in her eyes.

The sister couldn't resign, so she received the 50 yuan. I saw that my sister was crying. Seeing this scene, I shed tears sitting aside.

Liu Xizi's mother's family is from nearby Liucun. After she married the village, the two of us were neighbors. When I was free, I went to the family to play with my mother. Sister.

Later, both Niang and Liu Xizi had their own children. In that difficult years, the two moved to each other and responded to each other. There are many children of the sister -in -law, and her life is more tense. The mother often saves her family, relieves her family, and sometimes gives her children clothes. Sometimes she improves her food and gives her home.

One evening, I went home from the village elementary school, and my mother said to me with a half bag of corn noodles: "Go to Liu Xizi's house."

I know that my family is not much, so I asked, "Mom, what do we eat?"

"Our family can still get together, there are many puppet family members, let's send it to her house."

It seems that I understand a lot. With a half bag of corn noodles, I went to Liu Xizi's house.

Later, the youngest son of the sister -in -law went to the army as a soldier. When he left, the mother specially made him a few pairs of insoles.

As the life slowly improves, like many people, the life of the two no longer bitter is no longer bitter. What is the deliciousness of the sister -in -law's family, and it is often sent to the mother, but the years are silent. The hair of the two strong women, her youthful face.

Later, the children participated in the work one after another, and the mother lived in Zhengzhou. Liu Xizi followed the children to live in a foreign country. The chances of the two people met were less and even less than several years.

Five years ago, in accordance with the entrustment of her mother, I sent the dying mother back to the village. After Liu Xizi knew, she asked her to send her back to the village as soon as possible. She said that she would see her mother again. When I saw a mother who was lying in the bed, Liu Xunzi, who had passed eighty, sat by the bed, tears flowing ...

This is the last time Liu Yezi and Niang's two decades of decades met.

"Mom and mother are not sisters. They are better than sisters. My mother is good at others.

Liu Xizi and sister said, kept talking, behind her, there was a red rose flower that was still blooming in the courtyard of my family.

After a while, Liu Xunzi stood up and was going home with a cane. I helped her, like helping her mother.

Looking at the staggering back, I understand what is the most precious thing in the world ...
