On December 6th, 2000, I completed my military service and retired from the Shandong Army. He still remembered that it was a sunny day, and there were a few clouds floating in the sky. The moment the train arrived in Macheng, I didn't know why my feelings were so complicated. Was it joy, happiness, or anticipation for my family? After I got off the train, I caught a bus back home. When I was about to reach the door, I saw my father, mother, grandmother, and uncle standing at the door. My eyes moistened! After opening the car door, they said in unison,"Junya, you're back!" Immediately after, I asked about the long and short story. During the conversation, my mother had already served me a bowl of hot pork rib soup and said,"Junya, you must be hungry after such a long train ride! Hurry up and eat this! I'll drink with my uncles later! Everyone cares about you so much. You must treat them well in the future!”I took the bowl from my mother and said,"Mom, I know!" I'll remember all of this!

That night, I ate with my uncle and father for a long time. We chatted tipsy until midnight. Mom also accompanied us and poured us tea. During the conversation, I inadvertently noticed the wrinkles at the corners of my parents 'eyes.。。。。。Indeed, they had aged a lot after two years in the army! As I looked at it, I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart. Tears almost flowed out. I didn't know if I was sad or happy that night!

The next day, I woke up early in the morning. Mom woke up earlier than me. His mother said,"Junya, sleep more. What are you doing up now?"”"Mom, I've been in the army for two years. I'm used to waking up early!"”"When your father wakes up, we'll discuss your future job!"”I said,"No problem, I'm going to wash up!" Call me later!" "Yes!" said his mother.

After I finished rinsing my mouth and washing my face, I ran to the road in front of my house for half an hour. When I came back, my father was already up. His mother said,"Let's sit down and discuss Junya's future work!"”His father said,"The child is already big and an adult now. Let him make his own decisions!" I think it's easy for retired soldiers to find work outside. Why don't they go out and gain some knowledge? In two years, they can make friends or start a family!”His mother said," You're really simple-minded. Children will always be children in the eyes of adults. Besides, there were already quotas for the placement of rebels before they joined the army. Now, no matter how much money you spend, you have to get Ya to work in the city. That's settled. You ask the servants and find some connections. Don't just think about the trivial things in your village!”Dad said,"All right! Junya, what do you think?" I said,"Dad, Mom has her reasons for making peace. It's just that her tone is a little stiff to you, but it's all for me. Besides, working is only a short-term thing!"”

After the conversation that day, Dad asked a lot of people to help me find my current unit (Macheng City Agricultural Administrative Law Enforcement Brigade). I remember that on the day we arrived at the office, my mother and I went together. Due to the poor conditions at that time, there was no house in the Urban area, so the unit arranged for me to stay in the only two empty houses for the time being. After everything was settled, my mother took me to the street to buy some things for bed, cooking, and daily use.

She remembered that night, after packing up everything, it was already very late. Her mother said,"Junya, I'm going to buy groceries. I'll cook here tonight. You can talk to me tonight. I'll take the bus home tomorrow morning!”I said,"Mom, okay, the boss has spoken. What else can I say?"”Mom laughed after hearing that!

After about 20 minutes, Mom came back from the Longchi Mall in our city to buy some groceries. I didn't have time when my mother was outside, so I cooked the rice early. Mom quickly finished cooking. After dinner, his mother said,"Child, it's not easy to find this job for you. You have to cherish it!" We're not young anymore. This is all we can do for you. Compared to your peers, you're still inferior! You have to learn to be thrifty...。。!”That night, my mother and I talked very late. The next day, I came together and found a note by the bed. Mommy is going home. Remember what I told you last night! There's porridge in the rice cooker. Go out and buy some buns to eat. If there's anything, call home! Looking at the words written by my mother at the bedside, my eyes became hazy again after I returned home!

Time flew by, and I had been working in the city for five years. I remember that it was a winter in 2005. After discussing with us, my mother took out the only 20,000 yuan in the family to pay the down payment for the house I was living in now, so that I could have my own home in peace! I bought the house, but I didn't work for long at that time and didn't earn much money. In the end, I borrowed some money from my comrades and classmates to renovate the house! I could have said that I had to live slowly no matter how difficult the days were, but the weather was unpredictable. Originally, we were a good family of three, and I had a bright future. However, not long after the renovation of the house was completed, my mother was diagnosed with gallbladder cancer because of abdominal pain. The moment the results came out, my father and I stood there in a daze, our hearts wrenching in pain! Only her mother did not know! I could only say to my mother,"Mom, it's okay. The doctor said that there's nothing serious. It'll be fine after a minor operation!"”As I spoke, I endured the pain in my heart because I knew that only by cheering for my mother could I not let her become depressed. Mom looked at me and smiled."It's fine. I think it's fine. Isn't it just an operation? What was there to be afraid of? Don't worry!"

Before the surgery the next day, the doctor said to Dad and me,"Your mother's cancer cells have already spread. It doesn't make much sense whether she goes for surgery or not!”After some discussion, they finally decided to make it for their mother to comfort her! The moment we pushed Mom out of the operating room, Dad and I didn't have much expression. We just quietly pushed Mom! When my mother woke up, the first thing she asked me was,"Junya, how was the surgery?" I forced myself to say," Mom, the operation was very successful. You'll be able to recover in a month or so. You can rest assured!"”

After a while, the nurse came to give Mom an IV drip. She told Dad and me that the attending doctor wanted us to go over. We went to the infirmary. The doctor said that Mom would not live for more than three months. He told us to go home in a few days and take good care of her! Although we know that cancer is an incurable disease, when we hear this news, it's bad news! The strong father's huge tears were already flowing down! I said to Dad,"Dad, don't cry!" You have to take care of yourself. Mom is already like this. You have to hold on!”After saying this to Dad, my tears also flowed down!

After Mom stayed in the hospital for a week, she insisted on going home to recuperate. After we asked the doctor, the doctor agreed! When they got home, everyone knew the whole thing, but they were careful not to let their mother know! We also have someone to accompany Mom every day! After a month like this, her mother could finally walk slowly! That time, Mom looked at me and smiled! She said,"Junya, don't worry. Aren't I fine?" Everything will be fine!" I said,"Mom, you're much better. You look better than before!"”Mom said,"My illness has delayed your work for so long. Now that I'm much better, I think you should go back to work!"”I said,"Mom, okay, I'll come back to see you in a few days!"”

Just like that, I returned to the unit. However, not long after I returned to the unit, my uncle called me that day and said,"Junya, your mother suffered a stroke. She's lying in bed and can't move. She might not have much time left! I think you should come back soon!" At that time, I was doing an inspection in Baiguo Town in our city. When I heard this, I was stunned! When I arrived home, my mother had already closed her eyes! I sat next to my mother, tears streaming down my face! I know that my mother has already left, and as her son, I haven't seen her for the last time! Looking at my mother's thin face, my heart ached! She had worked so hard for this family for so many years. Now that her children were all grown up and everything was about to get better, she wanted to say goodbye to us!

Mother is gone. Every time I think of her, I will recall the kind smile she used to give us when she was still alive. It has been so many years, just like how mother has always been by my side!

Mom had been gone for many years. Just one day this year, Dad found himself a partner. I heard that he was from the mountains! That day, when they said that they were coming to my house in Macheng, I took a day off. In the morning, I went to the market to buy a lot of vegetables. After I brought them home, I slowly washed and cut the vegetables. I waited for them to come and stir-fry them! At about 10 o'clock, Dad and the others came. As a son, I was very happy. Thinking about how Dad had been alone at home for so many years, I was glad that he could find a wife who satisfied him. They sat at home for a while and discussed some family matters. I was cooking at the side! I'll cook more than ten dishes in a while. Let the two of them sit down! When I toasted my stepmother, I called out,"Mom, I toast you!"”When my stepmother heard this, she was very happy. However, at this moment, my nose ached again because I thought of my former mother!

Although it has been a while, I still can't forget what happened that day! Now I can only silently wish them both well! He also hoped that they would be happy in their later years! At the same time, my mother in hell said,"Mom, Dad has already found a partner. She's a very good person. I hope you know. Don't blame Dad.”
