Dictated: Aunt Lin.
Author: Xiaoya.
I am 52 years old, married to my husband for 28 years, and have only given birth to one child in my life. However, when relatives and friends saw the scene of the Chinese New Year in my family over the years, they would tease me, saying that I now have two daughters.
Mother Lin, the weather is good today, I will take the quilt on your bed out to dry. Dong Qian, can you stop the ink, get up quickly, and help Mother Lin do more housework? No matter how old you are, you know how to sleep lazy. ”
Dong Qian is my only daughter, 26 years old this year, and the girl who called me Lin Ma is called Hu Ya, the same age as my daughter, and is my daughter's high school classmate. In the past three years, she has brought her mother to my house every year for the New Year, and has been calling me Mama Lin.
Compared with my spoiled daughter, Hu Ya is much more well-behaved and sensible. As soon as she arrived at my house, she ignored our hindrance and began to get busy, helping with cleaning and pasting couplets. Hu Ya is good at calligraphy, and her writing is much better than the couplets that my husband bought, so over the years, our couplets have been handwritten by Hu Ya, and relatives and friends have praised them for their good writing and very atmospheric.
When Hu Ya's mother and daughter came, they came by car, and every year the trunk was stuffed full, vegetables and fruits, all kinds of meat, milk, health products, etc., stuffed to the brim, everything.
Every year, they prepare different gifts for us, this year my husband and I each have a down jacket, and last year they took our family out on a trip.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, my husband and I tried to enter the kitchen several times, but we were kicked out, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was jointly completed by Hu Ya and my daughter.
Although Hu Ya said a lot of good things about my daughter, I still know how many catties and taels my daughter has. At most, my daughter can help choose the dishes, and all seven dishes are cooked by Hu Ya alone.
Looking at Hu Ya, who was busy, I felt very moved, and I couldn't help but recall the beginning of our relationship. I know that Hu Ya is a grateful child who has always remembered the events of the year, and I didn't expect that my original efforts would make her always remember it and give me an extra daughter.
It all started 10 years ago! Ten years ago, my daughter was 16 years old and was admitted to the best high school in the county.
After seeing my daughter's high school entrance examination results, my husband and I felt both very happy and headaches. The reason why we have headaches is because of family conditions.
My husband and I used to be farmers who farmed for a living, living a life dependent on the sky for food, but the harvest was very bad in those years, and the money we earned from farming was only enough to barely support our family.
When my daughter was 10 years old, there was a major drought in my hometown, which caused our harvest to plummet, and the money from the sale of grain was not enough to pay off the loan. In desperation, we had to entrust our daughter to the care of our mother-in-law, and the two of us went out to work.
We worked outside the home for five years and made some money. However, my mother-in-law was not in good health, and after helping us take care of our daughter for five years, she died.
As a result, my daughter, who is about to enter high school, has no one to take care of her. I wanted to quit my job and stay with my studies, but I was worried that my husband would not be able to support my family by making money alone.
Seeing our sad faces, my daughter took the initiative to ask to live in the school, although we felt unbearable, but we were forced to agree.
Three months after my daughter lived at the school, I came back to attend the funeral because one of my parents' relatives had died, so I took advantage of my free time to visit my daughter.
When I came to my daughter's dormitory, my daughter's bunk caught my attention. At that time, it was already December, it was a cold winter, the temperature was below zero, and my daughter also said that she felt cold when she covered two quilts. Then I saw that my daughter's lower bunk was actually onlyTwoBed thin quilt,One bed is worn-out and has been patched up several times, and the other bed is a quilt issued by the schoolI touched it casually, barely touching any cotton wool.
I asked my daughter who lived in the lower bunk, and she told me that it was her classmate Hu Ya's bed, and sighed.
It turned out that Hu Ya was a very poor girl. According to her daughter's understanding, Hu Ya's father died when she was three years old, because she was a girl, and the relationship between her mother and her grandmother's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not good, so not long after her father's death, the mother and daughter were kicked out of the house by their grandparents.
Hu Ya's mother took her daughter back to her parents' home, but she was not accepted by her brother and sister-in-law, so she had to rent a house in the county and take care of her daughter while working.
I heard her say that she has been living in school since she was in junior high school, and her mother went to the southern city to work in order to earn more money for her education, and she can only come back once or twice a year, and she can only see her mother during the winter and summer vacations. ”
Due to her childhood, Hu Ya has always been a sensible girl, and in order not to worry her mother, she has always reported good news and not bad news.
I saw Hu Ya's clothes again, the washed and clean school uniform, and the clothes that had been mended several times, and I instantly felt my nose sour.
My daughter said to me, "Mom, I remember we had several new quilts at home!" Can you get a bed for Huya? Also, I have a lot of clothes that I only wear once or twice. If she doesn't dislike it, give her a little! ”
Hearing this, I felt very relieved, and praised my daughter for being well-behaved and sensible.
After returning home, I picked two new quilts that had not been made for a long time, and found ninety percent of my daughter's new clothes, sent them to my daughter's bedroom, and handed them to Hu Ya.
Hu Ya was embarrassed to accept it, so I hurriedly stuffed it into her: "Good boy, I know that you feel sorry for your mother, and you don't want your mother to worry about it, but if you make yourself sick, won't your mother feel even more guilty?" Although my aunt's family doesn't have much money, I still have a few quilts and a few clothes. These are given to you by Dong Qian, so you can take them! ”
Under the persuasion of my daughter and me, Hu Ya accepted our kindness with red eyes, and after that, she also became her daughter's best friend, and the two were inseparable.
When my daughter was in her third year of high school, in order to allow my daughter to study wholeheartedly and prepare for the college entrance examination, I quit my job and rented a house near the school to accompany my daughter.
At that time, I thought of Hu Ya, who was fighting alone in school, and when I cooked pork ribs and other meat, I would ask my daughter to bring one to Hu Ya in a lunch box.
To be honest, the reason why I helped Hu Ya and gave her these is because as a mother, I can't bear to watch such a young girl suffer and suffer, and I want to help as much as I can, as for anything in return, I have never thought about it.
What I didn't expect was that over the years, Hu Ya has always kept our help in mind, and she has not only become my daughter's best friend, but also almost my second daughter. Come back to see me as soon as you have time, and accompany us for the New Year for three consecutive years, one by one, Lin Ma shouted affection.
Looking at the two children giggling and laughing, I think it's pretty good. After all, good people have good rewards, and this is the most comfortable.
