Niang (below) 5

Niang's life is full of dreams and hopes, awe and gratitude. She is hard-working, bears the burden of humiliation, works hard and puts all her efforts on her son. For her father, for her children and for this family, she couldn't bear to tire herself out or even sacrifice her precious life. In the most difficult days, the mother never blamed her father or her children, but was open-minded and persevering. At the last moment of her life, her mother was still worried about her relatives and children. The most selfless person in the world is mother, and the person who gives us the most is also mother.

Mother not only gave us life, but also gave us a healthy charm, a pure and kind heart and a handsome appearance. Mother has never been to school, but she knows the importance of reading. Stay at home, but understand the truth of being a man. Niang is of medium height, fair skin and very beautiful. Now, an earlier photo in our collection was taken when Niang was about 50 years old. It is dignified, beautiful and elegant, and many people are full of praise when they see it. I never thought it was a rural woman. Maybe we inherited our mother's appearance. When the five brothers were young, everyone loved them, just like dolls.

Eldest brother was weak since childhood, but he looks good. Later, he became a people's teacher with both talent and appearance, and became an "idol-level" teacher sought after by students. 1974 After graduating from high school, Big Brother took on the burden of his family. In his life record, he never gave up, worked hard to find and persisted in fighting against fate. When I was in the second grade, my eldest brother had graduated from technical secondary school and was assigned to teach at Mafang Middle School. At that time, he went home every week to help his mother plow the fields and cut firewood up the mountain. The two brothers are on good terms, and her mother is very happy. Big brother's perseverance and fighting spirit are amazing. I remember that as soon as the college entrance examination resumed, my eldest brother drilled in the dark and humid East Kiln and kept studying until late at night every day. After being admitted to normal school, I went home in the summer vacation. My eldest brother still insists on reading and practicing Mandarin after finishing farm work every day. At that time, every morning, we were often awakened by the sound of reading. Soon after joining the work, eldest brother was unwilling to be lonely and was admitted to Weinan Normal University with excellent results. Environment has changed people. It is Big Brother's diligent pursuit and unremitting efforts that fundamentally changed his life track. Eldest brother has been an enviable and very generous job since he was transferred to the county middle school to teach, but he is still not satisfied with the status quo. People often say that the stage is as big as the heart. Eldest brother once wanted to engage in administration, but his efforts failed several times. In order to get rid of poverty and improve the embarrassing situation of life, he planted apple trees and went to the market to do small business. I remember in the 1990s, I bought a few catties of hemp rope for my eldest brother from No.7 Factory and pulled a whole truck. Big brother used Sunday to sell in the market to earn some pocket money. Big brother is virtuous and talented. No matter what he does, he looks decent and admirable. Big brother's teaching ability and level are unparalleled. The history class he taught was once a business card of Yongshou. He wrote, edited, taught and tutored more than 20 books and enjoyed a high reputation both inside and outside the province. After 2000, eldest brother moved to Sanyuan Nanjiao Middle School to teach. There are rich products here, outstanding people, and the atmosphere of respecting teachers and attaching importance to education prevails, which gives Big Brother a big stage to display his talents and realize his dreams. Big brother is like a duck to water, and he has made great achievements and reached the peak of his career.

The second brother is smart and different from others since he was a child. He was also outstanding in his class when he was studying. Unfortunately, he insisted on dropping out of school and farming, and his bright future was ruined in vain. For this reason, my father always felt guilty when he died, and my mother mentioned many times before he died: this is the baby's life. Looking back now, it was wise for the second brother to drop out of school to farm, because at that time, his father was sick all the year round, his eldest brother went to school and there was no labor at home. It is impossible to rely entirely on his mother. Especially when the family was swallowed up by the flood and his father died, the second brother worked hard since he was a child. My second brother is very obedient and sensible since he was a child. I remember telling my second brother at 1984 that my daughter-in-law was going to see him. My mother can't call me second brother for a long time. When I came back, I didn't know. We all laughed at Second Brother for being stupid, but what Second Brother said was still very touching. He said, how can we talk about my wife when we are poor? It's good that people can take a fancy to us. At that time, the whole family depended on the second brother, but he was bent on living a good life for his mother and the whole family. The second brother is flexible, witty, cautious and bold, and his mother appreciates him very much and is at ease. From 65438 to 0980, with the support of the government, the indoor and outdoor painting of our newly-built brick house was done by my second brother. He was only twenty years old at that time, but his work was completely comparable to that of a mason. Twenty years later, my second brother worked as a village cadre, contractor and property manager. And all the weddings and funerals in the branch are managed and coordinated by him, so he is a famous manager.

Fourth brother was a white-faced scholar when he was young, shy and talkative, which made people like him very much. Maybe it's because I'm spoiled. I have no temper. Everyone says I'm laughing and I don't pay enough attention to it. He had a poor elementary school foundation and went to junior high school. He knows how to study, but he works hard but never gets ahead of others. 1987 studied in high school for one year, and finally dropped out of school for family reasons to go to agriculture. We haven't been apart since fourth brother got married. We all live with our mother. Fourth brother is honest and can bear hardships, but later with the improvement of economic conditions, he got into the bad habit of playing mahjong. I didn't make my mother naughty and angry about this matter. Sister-in-law is gentle and takes good care of her family. Among the daughters-in-law of our uncles and brothers, she is the best in personality, cooking stoves and respect for the elderly. She is generous, generous and polite. She gets along with her mother and is filial to her. She likes her very much. During my younger brother's schooling, my fourth brother and my daughter-in-law worked hard. Especially during her illness, they were considerate, burning kang, cooking and washing clothes for her every day, and even seeing her when she was seriously ill. It is often said that there is no dutiful son before a long bed. We will never forget what our fourth brother and daughter-in-law did to our mother and family.

The birth of my younger brother was a surprise for my mother, and it was also the one she was most worried about at the end of her life. After the fourth brother, the family burden is already very heavy, and there will be no more children after the mother and father are killed. Maybe my mother is looking forward to having a daughter and has been hiding it from her father and others. I remember that it was getting dark that afternoon, and my mother and I went to the well to fetch water. My mother felt unwell because of overexertion, and later my father knew the truth. A few days later, my mother was born. The age difference between the younger brother and the fourth brother is eight years, which can be said to be an accident and surprise. Brother 1975, born in March, is the season when green and yellow are out of touch. I can't bear to give it away, and I can't afford it. For this reason, my mother and my father have been entangled for a long time. When I was a child, my brother was cute and smart. Although my mother and father are very tired, his arrival has added new joy to this family. Now my younger brother's height 1 m 76, personality and appearance can be described by the word "charming and handsome". When my father was seriously ill, he coughed up a lot of phlegm, and a spit bowl was specially placed on the kang. My younger brother was only four or five years old and was responsible for cleaning his father's sputum bowl every day. After cleaning it up, he sprinkled a little fine soil on it and put it back. Father is very happy and loves him very much. Before he died, he told his mother that he must bring up his children. Mom and dad are not mistaken. My brother is really a talent. It's right not to give it away. If my parents were alive today, my brother would be blessed.

I am the third of the five brothers, and I just answered a sentence: "The boss loves the younger brother, and there is a victim in the middle." Mom said: I was born thin, and I am lucky to survive. I broke my arm when I was a child, and my mother held me everywhere for medical advice. Finally, I didn't leave any disability. I am clumsy and stubborn by nature, and I am not good at talking. Because there were so many children at that time, my mother couldn't take care of me at all. I basically grew up in "grazing", so I went to school late. Mom said that I am the most obedient and sensible, so I don't have to worry about studying. Almost all primary and junior high schools are the best in my class, and even the cost of going to school is basically solved by myself. I remember from the second grade of primary school until I graduated from technical secondary school, I went up the mountain to dig medicine to earn tuition every summer vacation. When I was a child, my mother always told me the truth that "stupid birds fly first". I am particularly practical and conscious in my studies. I have known others for two hours or more. I am also greatly influenced by my mother and father in my life. I try to solve the problem by myself, without relying on others. Therefore, most of my life has passed, and I think: I am qualified to be a man; I am very steady in my work.

I will always remember my mother's kindness to me. I remember when I was at school in Xianyang, I was often hungry because I didn't have enough to eat. My mother brought me some fried noodles to satisfy my hunger. Almost all the students in our dormitory have drunk it. I think my mother's fried noodles are delicious and fragrant. I still remember that every time I left home for school, my mother would get up, roll me a big bowl of delicious old burning noodles, watch me eat well, then salute me and send me to the side of the scene. My mother watched me walk away and slowly turned around and went home. 1989 after I got married, every time I went home to see my mother, my mother always complained that I was wasting money, but when I was leaving, my mother went all over the street to find someone to buy eggs and asked me to send this basket to your mother-in-law's house, and keep that basket for you. When my mother was alive, it seemed a matter of course to bring some rice noodles and oil eggs back from home every time, but when my mother left, I suddenly felt out of breath.

Mother raised us one by one, provided us with schooling and helped us get married. It is difficult to describe mother's hardships and pains, but her heart is hot and bright. As far as I can remember, 1982 My mother's happiest thing is having her eldest granddaughter. I remember the day when my senior high school entrance examination ended, which happened to be my niece's full moon. When I came home from the exam, my mother was very happy, walking lightly and smiling. Later, my admission notice came down, and my mother's joy was beyond words. She said to me, "I knew my son would be fine when I saw you coming home after the exam." That year, my mother was happy. Mother knows that the hard days have passed, but it's a pity that such a state of mind and such a good time last too short.

Niang is lively, soft outside and hard inside, ingenious and studious, and can be called a strong woman. Niang is a very calculating person. Rural people pay more attention to all kinds of rules and regulations, but the etiquette is poor, and many people don't blame it, especially for weddings, funerals, full moons for children, and one custom in one place. Niang is like a know-it-all. She knows it by heart (these manners are almost lost now), and young people love to ask her. Textile is Niang's specialty. In the 1980s, the conditions were good, and there were more cotton threads of various colors. Mother improved the craft and knitted all kinds of beautiful sheets. Mom didn't go to school and didn't know all the big characters, but when it comes to accounting, no one can hide it from her. In those years, Niang sold cotton thread. Many people didn't know how many cotton threads a catty of cotton thread weaved, how many cotton threads, how many warps and how many wefts a piece of Zhang Jiabu needed, and she was articulate, so Niang's business was surprisingly good. Mom's cooking stove (that is, cooking) is also good, especially when she is steaming steamed buns. In the past, every family was poor, and when it came to weddings and funerals, steamed bread was the worst, because there were many cornflakes in steamed bread at that time, and alkali was the most difficult to deal with, either yellow or stone. The same noodles, the steamed stuffed bun made by Niang is white and fat, which is both beautiful and delicious. Mom's fried cake with dead noodles is also delicious. At that time, there were important guests at home, and my mother was very tolerant of them. Mother's baked corn flour is a must. When we lived on campus in junior high school, we had to bring dry food for a week. Those with good conditions at home wear fine powder pot helmets, while those with poor conditions are varied. You can't make a silk purse out of sow's ears. The bun on the child's back is not easy to break, but also delicious, which is difficult for mother to make. Niang is a very shrewd person. She sent five children to school and baked countless steamed buns. She kneaded the cooked noodles with alkali, made them into bowl noodles, then put them in a pot for coloring, covered the lid and roasted them with slow fire. The freshly cooked noodles are tender, smooth and delicious, sweet and pleasant. Every time I think about it now, it's still memorable. In fact, Niang's craft, with some sugar and honey in it, is a whole grain cake.

Mother's smile is the warm spring breeze in the world, mother's wrinkles are the scars of hard years, and maternal love has another world in this world. As if there is a door, push it open and you will see the light. This light gives you guidance, protection, warmth and hope.
