Mother's invitation

Mother never wanted us to go home for the New Year, the reason is not clear, asked the doctor, the doctor said it may be a long-term illness caused by mental variation, can only be maintained, do not need too much explanation.

But I still insist on going back, although far away from the countryside, but think of the mother has been the hardships, and can not stop, because every year, the heart will be like a small worm like the itch.

My mother and I called to discuss the matter of going home, mother as usual opposed, said: "Too far, Spring Festival, not good car, more than a thousand kilometers, only a few days back and forth, why bother?"

I said: "I want to go home to accompany you, no matter how far I want to go back."

Mother was angry, never had a tense atmosphere, I angrily shot the phone, indicating my wife to return the ticket, call my sister, sister also speechless tears first flow: "Mother is not terminally ill, brother, we have to hurry back ah, mother is a person at home, stuffy, take medicine for years."

I have been thinking about the reasons why my mother does not love us to go home, there may be three reasons: first, my mother does not like the daughter-in-law in the city, especially love clean. Remember to go back when married, daughter-in-law horizontal pick nose upright, newly married, I dare not offend her, let her, according to the rules of the countryside, have to stay for three days can return to the city, she refused, a day head, can not stand the bite of the mosquito in the countryside, there are frogs in the pond, I did not give the mother too much explanation, a phone call will be sent to the mother's farewell letter.

Now come to think of it, it was not properly handled, although the mother did not complain, did not sigh, and did not say any sarcastic words in front of the daughter-in-law, but I feel sorry.

Second reason, mother loves quiet, there is a distant relative has been taking care of her daily life and life, relatives do not pay, when young, mother saved her life, to repay the kindness, relatives came late without relatives, mother became her bosom friend, she is young mother ten years old, speak and do things quickly, the body is great, mother likes her, if we go back, just like a pile of steel and cement, It will break the silence of the countryside, it will drive away the birdsong of the dawn, the mother loves the birdsong, the bird is half of the mother's life.

The last reason may be that the time is too short, according to rural customs, but the Lantern Festival, not over the year, and we hurry, busy go, will only let the mother be tired, can not enjoy the slightest happiness.

I want to eliminate these factors, say anything to go home to my mother kowtow.

We compromised a good way, the daughter-in-law took the child to her parents' home, and I went back to the countryside alone. My return home is equivalent to the return of the wanderer, I was originally a bunch of wheat, only temporarily lent to the city, I belong to the wheat growing on the building materials.

I go home alone, I can rule out the three factors mentioned above, I am small, will not bring the country peace, I am used to sleeping in the countryside, the kind of people with The Times, whether it is the car whistle or frogs are my lullaby.

And I got a chance to take a paid vacation, and I didn't go back until at least fifteen years later, which my mother couldn't wait for.

The road is not muddy, only a few years, the road in the countryside is paved with asphalt, there is a special bus to the village, my childhood partner has already married and established a career, take me back, call my baby name, very sober and very painful.

Mother is not at home, I called relatives aunt, aunt said your mother went to the market, water set, once a year, I am watching the house.

I took this opportunity to ask my mother the reason for not allowing us to go home, and my aunt was at a loss for an explanation.

"No, your mother will talk about you every day. Her bark is worse than her bite."

I just knew that I had been tricked by my mother, and that she would not let us go home for fear of our trouble. I called my wife and complained about her lack of attachment, and her wife said: "After the New Year, find a chance to go back."

This is to me, the most fair explanation, there are old people on both sides, can not affect the harmony of the family.

Mother is much older, a face of wrinkles, I feel the nose sour, just want to express the feelings of the heart, mother is motioned to me: "sit down, like a guest."

"Mom, this vacation is long. I won't go back until 15."

"After the first day is after the New Year, you can go, besides, there are old people there?" We can't be accused of being impolite."

Mother stubborn for a lifetime, old frank is still her specialty, she can not be explained by her son too much, just according to their own ideas to answer others' questions, mother said I did not inherit her personality genes, it is also her failure.

I did not answer my mother's question directly, I discussed it with my wife, but I was determined not to return to the city, and finally had an opportunity to make up for what I had lost before.

But do not know how to compensate, they do "homework", I will not, I will only read, or help them to add wood to the bottom of the kettle, firewood, burning my face red uncomfortable, I think of childhood hunger.

Firecrackers singing, I am happy, my mother signaled that I went home, will go to every household in the village around, I drank a drunk, mother said I am not promising, in the city for so many years, there is no ability to press wine, I spit out a place, the mother was happy to pick up.

When I woke up, it was already the afternoon of the first day, my aunt was with me, and my mother was missing.

When I asked, I knew that my mother had gone to pay New Year's greetings to others, and the younger generation would also go, because I came back, I drank too much wine, and did not go to the family, she had to routinely go to the family to explain.

I knew that I had made a big disaster, what I should do, let an old man take over for me, spread it out, laugh off my teeth, want to meet my mother, but feel top-heavy, the wine in the countryside, the emotion in the countryside, a few cups of old wine, actually let me laugh.

After the first day, my mother advised me to go back, the reason is very simple: "Know you are at home, every day someone will come to drink, wine in the country, can not refuse, even if you are sick and you are not comfortable can not easily refuse."

"Your health is not good, go back to take good care of, every evening to exercise, when I was a child, the body is not good, blame me, just know that let you study, the body delayed, now have to make up for it."

I want to explain more, the mother's stalemate smile forced me to leave, I then thought, the world where there is such a stubborn mother?

I appeared in the third morning of the in-laws home, I cried out like a child, my wife held me, comforted me, my sister called to ask me about the situation, I only said: "Mom is much older."

A year passed, during which I was removed from my post, changed posts, made mistakes and was played by villains, all the way, all the way, I was blinded several times, but insisted on the end of the year.

The twelfth month twenty-three, the lunar New Year, unexpectedly received an invitation from my mother, is a letter, more than one thousand words. Mother's pen wind is still thorough, invited our family to go back to the New Year, I was overjoated, my sister also received such a lavish invitation letter, I do not know what medicine mother sold in the gourd, hastily ended, and my wife's family back to the countryside.

Along the way, very happy, the mother met at the door early, her face was glowing, no sick, aunt picked up our things, I just know that in a year, there are so many changes in the home.

The right road has become a concrete road, and the snow is not afraid of wet slippery.

The pond behind the house is buried, and there will be no frogs.

The room was newly decorated, the wallpaper was fresh and natural, the room we lived in was spotless, the air conditioning was also installed neatly, and my mother took great pains to be different from each other.

Suddenly added a large family, the mother was busy, the year as a bow, as an arrow, a moment can not be idle.

This is the most comfortable New Year for our family, but my mother's performance is still puzzled, dare not ask her, take advantage of an opportunity to ask her aunt, she answered me mysteriously: "Your mother does not let you come back, in fact, does not want you to see her illness, her disease infection, no matter how to protect, are afraid of infecting you." She has been under treatment for the past two years, and the results have just come out. She is already very healthy. Look at her face.

I feel that there is a strange liquid flowing in the eyes, I laugh at my ignorance, do not understand a mother's good intentions, laugh all the children of the world, these details of love, will not fathom and collection, and have been complaining against the mother.

During the reunion dinner, we also sent a gold-plated invitation letter to our mother and aunt, as a reply to our mother's letter, in which we invited the two old people to go to the city after the spring.

We looked at each other, waiting for my mother to refuse in her own unique way, my mother and my aunt mysteriously communicated, and in a moment, took the wine and said to us: deal.
