In the countryside of eastern Henan, I call my father's cousin's daughter-in-law my eldest mother, and today I will talk about my eldest mother.
The eldest lady is an ordinary rural woman in eastern Henan, who has not graduated from primary school, has no education, is not tall, not beautiful, and can't even think of any elegant words to describe her, an ordinary rural woman who can no longer be ordinary.
Although the eldest mother is ordinary, she has worked hard all her life, she is not happy but the family is quite complete, the family is not rich but she does not worry about eating and drinking, two sons, grandsons, granddaughters, and her husband are not violent and can work, an ordinary rural family.
Ordinary people have an ordinary life, in an ordinary and ordinary life, the same magnificent, the eldest mother has a father-in-law and mother-in-law, father-in-law has bladder cancer, life is inconvenient, and the mother-in-law is not in good health, so she can only take care of herself reluctantly, so her father-in-law and mother-in-law need to take care of every porridge and meal in person, which is a tedious and tiring job.
The eldest mother has two sons, the two sons also went out to work without graduating from junior high school, each leaving two young children, all of whom need to be taken care of by the eldest mother, four or five years old need the eldest mother to pick up the kindergarten in the town every day, and the small one needs to be taken by the eldest mother all the time, and also cook for them, change clothes, and take care of their grandchildren always with all their hearts for fear of not taking care of them. So taking care of two elderly people and four children takes up all the energy and time of the eldest lady every day, and there is no space and time for herself at all.
On July 7, 2018, the summer vacation arrived, and all kinds of summer classes quickly became popular. Hangzhou Youth Activity Center.
The mother-in-law of the eldest mother has a very bad temper, and the eldest mother does not satisfy her, so she makes it difficult in every possible way, and often gets angry, but the eldest mother is honest, and she still works hard to take care of the elderly after being angry, so she has been depressed in her heart, and at the last moment of her life, the eldest mother often feels chest tightness and can't breathe. This summer, after a quarrel with her mother-in-law, the eldest mother died of an acute heart attack on a summer night.
The next afternoon, my dad called me ** and told me that my aunt had passed away, and my mood was dull and I couldn't calm down for a long time. Immediately buy a ticket to rush home to attend the funeral of the eldest mother.
The funeral was an ordinary funeral in eastern Henan, and the eldest mother's son and daughter-in-law came back. Relatives and friends have also arrived, to send the eldest mother on the last journey, the sad and solemn funeral ended in the morning, after the crowd dispersed, as if nothing had happened, after the eldest mother was buried in the soil, it was like being forgotten.
On May 27, 2018, in Binzhou, Shandong, at a funeral in the countryside, according to local customs, the host hired a drum band.
In the next few days, except for the occasional mention of the eldest mother's condition, no one said anything else about the eldest mother. When she went home again, the eldest mother seemed to have been really forgotten, and no one mentioned anything about her again, including her sons, daughters-in-law, and even the grandchildren and granddaughters who took care of the eldest child.
The eldest mother worked hard all her life and made great contributions to the family, but she was still forgotten after her death. I often wonder what people are all about in their lives, and what they get in the end by working hard to raise children.
