I was immersed in a TV program when my mother-in-law, who had just returned from chopping wood, came over. The first time I saw her, she pushed the burning fireplace in front of me and put a plate full of melons on the nearest bench, and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Junjun, I've left you ten thousand dollars. I've been in poor health for the past few years, so if I were to die suddenly one day, you wouldn't know that your mother-in-law left this money for you. This money is reserved for you to go to college, so study hard in the future, and don't be like your grandpa and I, who only farmed and fed pigs for the rest of our lives." I didn't even think about it and blurted out, "I don't want it, keep it for yourselves!" My mother-in-law got a little angry and said firmly, "No way! This is the money I left for my grandson, no one but you is allowed to touch it!" I was ashamed of myself - my mother-in-law had lived on this mountain all her life, and it was not easy for her to earn a few dollars; besides, she was old, so how could she still have the strength to earn money? How many years did she save this ten thousand dollars? As her grandson, I seldom accompanied her, not even helped her carry a piece of firewood, really a waste of my strong physique. I was silent, my eyes moist, lowered my head, went to count the melon shells on the ground.
Apologies densely climbed to the heart: I was lazy to the extreme during the winter vacation. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm going to be able to do it. "Junjun get up, the food is ready, if you don't get up you'll starve." I always dawdled, rubbed my fuzzy eyes, and ate in a daze, speaking very little. As soon as I finished eating, I threw my chopsticks away and went to get high and watch TV and play with my cell phone, and homework became a complete side project. I never cared what my mother-in-law did every day.
I said to myself in my heart that I must spend more time with my mother-in-law. I'm not saying that because my grandmother saved me 10,000 dollars, but my mother-in-law's words, "If you suddenly go away someday," woke me up!
The next day, I set my alarm clock. The next day, I set the alarm clock, and at dawn, my mother-in-law and I got up at the same time. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good look at this, but I'm sure you're going to be able to get a good look at this. Sitting in the doorway of the old-fashioned stove, looking at the fire jumping in the stove, listening to the firewood burning. "Popping" sound, smell gradually from the big iron pot out of the aroma, my heart a little more stable. This morning's mother-in-law is particularly full of energy, she from time to time loud and clear command I taste the salty and sour dishes, set clean dishes, cheerful in the small kitchen.
After dinner, my mother-in-law went to get some kindling, and for the first time I carried a basket and went to the pine forest with her. She taught me to use a rake to rake the pine needles under the pine trees to get them into a pile. There were many bushes in the pine forest, so the rake could not be used, and it was hard to get the pine needles and pine cones into a pile, but they could not be swept into the bamboo basket, so I had to use my hands to dig. It took me a lot of effort to fill up the basket, and I lifted it up, and my hands passed through the straps, and the basket climbed onto my back easily. Granny patted me: "Junjun has grown up! Granny is old and useless. Every time I carry such a small load, I have to put it on the can before I can stand up!" Tears streamed down my face as I thought of the skinny granny putting the basket onto the higher field bank, slowly getting up on her knees, and slowly walking back by herself, bent over. I was carrying a basket full of pine needles and ran all the way up the hill, afraid that my mother-in-law would see my tears.
This day, I followed my mother-in-law like a shadow: I helped her feed the pigs, drove the sheep, washed the vegetables, and carried the firewood....... My mother-in-law smiled like a child.
Looking at my mother-in-law, with tears in my eyes, I smiled ......
