45

On her birthday, my mother was dressed in a costume. She refused the kindness of her children and grandchildren, and insisted on celebrating her birthday at home. Because when I went to the hotel, the hotel was about to close, not only those customers had regrets, but my mother's heart was also unhappy. Although it was her son's hotel, she couldn't bear to make trouble for them anymore. She told her sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, granddaughters not to inform anyone else. In this way, both the table and the personnel arrangement are very satisfying. Today, the hotel is still full of guests, Wu Yi and his wife can only go back to one person for the time being, when the two are in dispute, they fight for the opinions of Wu Er's family, Wu San's family, and Wu Wu's family, and finally Wu Yi wins. Ding Zandong suddenly realized that because her husband has craftsmanship, if she had remembered it earlier, she wouldn't have fought with him. Wu Yi looked at his daughter-in-law with a smirk, but Ding Zandong smiled and said, "You are stupid, don't say it earlier." ”

The mother sat on the sofa outside the house, and the warm sunlight made the old man radiant. Grandchildren, frolicking and playing in front of grandma......

Although Wu Siji was a passing eye, his mother still thought of him. He is disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, and disgraceful to others. But is the human heart really hard to measure? She thought: The meat that fell from her body, but she didn't know if this "meat" was a congenital shame and sorrow, or a product of acquired deformity? But a strong heart strongly supported her mother's weak body, and she didn't faint because of Wu Si. However, the husband was knocked down on the kang. Originally, Wu Guocai's cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease did not affect eating and walking. But since Wu Si's accident, Wu Guo has been ill. They husband and wife are puzzled? The Wu family has a name, a surname, dignity, filial piety, responsibility, and responsibility, and it has been passed down to Wu Si's generation...... The ancestors of the Wu family have never been insulting their ancestors, endangering others, or endangering society. How much the couple like the smart and clever Wu Si, who speaks and does things cleanly, and strives for success and perfection. is such a good child, why did he betray? They meditated, but they couldn't come up with a reason.

When Wu Si was admitted to high school, he took the second place in the city. Wu Guocai and his wife finally saw a son who studied seriously and pursued progress in Wu Si. Wu Guocai and his wife thought that if they worked hard for another three years, they could be admitted to university. Because the eldest brother missed the college campus, the couple could only pin their expectations and their son's college dream on their two younger sons. Although the sustenance and dreams of his parents had just begun, they were crushed by the reality of Wu Si's declining learning. The mother continued to have insomnia, but Wu Guocai said to her son: "Your own way, go by yourself." And Wu Si, who stayed at home, constantly reflected, blamed, and suffered, and the days without answers made him languish. But he is not decadent, he is still working hard, and he keeps appearing in restaurants and construction sites. Later, with the help of his relatives, he went to work in the police station, and his perseverance and enthusiasm and work achievements subverted his brothers' cognition and ideas. Wu Yi said to him: "Do it well, you can't be wrong." Ding Zandong said to the fourth brother: "As long as you work hard, you will be the champion." ”…… Well done, why go to extremes...... Wu Si's death, my mother was not particularly sad for a while......

The birthday banquet was ready, Wu Yi and his brothers came to invite their mother, "Mom, it's all ready." Mom got up, her legs and feet neat, and her body came to the table with a strong body, beckoned her children, grandchildren, and beloved relatives and friends to sit down, and then the birthday feast began. While eating and drinking, the mother heard the blessing of a long life from the birthday message of her eldest son. Then Wu Yi looked back on his mother's eighty years of hard work.

Mom listened to Wu Yi's greetings. She was proud of her eldest son and followed the example of Wu Yi and their family. Looking at their family, she felt cordial and intimate, and at the same time indescribably grateful. Whether it is running a family or dealing with people, it is so above board. Listening to their words and sonorous footsteps, you can feel the light and hope of the road. She remembered the scene at 16 or 7 o'clock. He looks like an adult, taking care of his four younger brothers. His father said, "You see, the eldest takes care of the four of them, and he cares more than I do." Since then, he has done things for this family that should not have been done by him. When he built the house, his father had to earn money to support the family. Wu Yi got up early and greedy for darkness, and worked day and night one by one to remove the blank, hit the wall, pad the ground, grind the wall, dig the cellar, and play the shift. He was so tired that he didn't finish eating, so he fell asleep when he lay down on the kang. When he opened his eyes, he finished the rest of the meal, and ...... The mother felt sorry for her son and asked him to be a little longer, but he said, "Mom, it's good to lie down for a while when you're tired." "The two houses in front and back of the Wu family were built by him. The mother clearly saw that the eldest son, who had been retired for two years, thought of the couple and sighed, how could they look like people in their sixties. Whether it is the appearance or the body, it is simply the strength of youth. Since Wu Yi and Ding Zandong got married, they have a beautiful girl with a handsome husband. The husband and wife who are like tigers, whether they are at home or abroad, or big or small, they can always do a perfect job without regrets. People say that they are wise and foolish, and they can make the hotel a first-class hotel in Jiangcheng and attract countless admiring guests, which is enough to prove that they are good at dealing with people, strict with themselves, generous to others, and have a good business. Therefore, my mother often said to her sons, "You have to learn from your eldest brother." ”

When the mother chatted with her son and daughter-in-law, she often mentioned Wu Er and asked them about their situation outside.

She listened to Wu Er's congratulations, thinking about his various practices, and her heart was not as down-to-earth and caring as those sons, which could not be blamed on her mother. Wu Er is unreasonable and arrogant, and always puts himself in front of what he says and does. Every turn is how I am, putting on an arrogant posture. Since he has done it or helped others, he will always turn his stomach upside down. The mother knows her son well, and she never argues with anyone when she talks and laughs outside. But he himself called it beautifully: this is a person's quality. Yes, it should be the same outside the home. There are kind faces on the outside, fierce gods at home, and it seems that everyone is sorry for him and owes him. Sometimes he even talked with his mother and competed for the high. However, since Wu Er went out to work, my mother's heart has been smooth, and I often think of them.

The mother listened to the congratulations of her third son, and at the same time remembered many past events. He is an unprincipled person for the family, and he can't see the good people clearly, and blind connivance and favoritism will spoil a good person, and will make the not good people more indulgent. Wu San's loss is on this. He took his father's shift and was laid off a few years later. He was pragmatic and advanced, and he did it as an individual without a holiday in the unit. At home, he is not used to listening to the words of the second child, and he is not used to seeing some of his styles. But Wu San's family is a good person both inside and outside the family. In the past few years, my mother has worried a lot about Wu San's family. Now that he and Kexin have established a new home, his mother is finally relieved to see their stable family and happy life. But the heart can live, capable and virtuous. Wu San knows from several experiences of partnering with people, and knows people who are humble and sincere. Thus, the union with Kexin brought about a radical change in his concept. The old mother even thinks that Kexin's words and deeds are as perfect as the eldest daughter-in-law. Everyone's cultivation and quality are the combination of innate and acquired monism, and it is also the core of the accumulation and precipitation of life. Selling now can sometimes backfire. Therefore, it makes sense for my mother to be at ease with Wu San.

The mother listened to Wu Wu's greetings, she was proud of her fifth son and proud of the Wu family. After graduating from university, Wu Wu also brought back a college daughter-in-law. At the beginning, whether Wu Wu stayed in the provincial capital or returned to his hometown to develop, relatives argued. "The future of the child is there." However, as soon as the words of leaning towards the provincial capital came out, my mother began to waver. The impact caused by Wu Si will not be able to dissipate for a while. When they come back, will it affect their future? Wu Yi and his wife continued to communicate with Wu Wu, and informed the fifth brother of the causes and consequences of Wu Si's incident, and weighed the impact of Wu Si with the fifth brother. Although in a short period of time, it is impossible to change the concept of the people of Jiangcheng. However, treating the fathers and villagers of Jiangcheng with sincerity and a fiery heart, with knowledge, character, and quality, and having an honest heart, like a snail, and working hard can completely benefit the hometown and gain the trust of the people in the hometown. Wu Wu was finally understood by the thoughts of his eldest brother and sister-in-law. Wu Wu and Zu Guang are back. Now both of them are deputy department-level cadres, and they are rumored to be good stories in Jiangcheng and even the region. Wu Wu and Zu Guang came to see their mother, and when they got home, they took off their clothes to work. Sometimes, because the work can't keep up with the work, after eating, cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks is something they scramble to do. Zu Guang said: "You are all tired for a long time, let me do it." "There is a saying that if you work hard before a meal, you are a lazy person after a meal. (Older people, in particular, feel the same way.) Because food enters the stomach, it grows from small to large, and as soon as it grows bigger, the spleen is wronged, and it is not good to work. In this way, people become sleepy and have the feeling of not being able to move. ）

The mother listened to the blessings of her sons, saw the sunshine and rain on the road of each family's growth, and watched the families and careers of the grandchildren who were thriving. On the occasion of her 80th birthday, my mother sincerely comforted the ancestors of the Wu family: the Wu family's family has supported their own piece of the world. Because my mother sees and hears the pulse and heart of her children and grandchildren. She understood what her son said: books are the source of knowledge, and knowledge is the source of victory.

My mother said: This is the secret of her longevity.
