There is a feeling called heartache

Chapter 7
That feeling and that scene made everyone present cry. The mother's tears and the daughter's tears came together and poured on the dumplings.

In a small city in China, there was a mother who was a middle school teacher.She has a husband and two daughters.This is an ordinary working family, neither poor nor rich, with a basic balance of income and expenditure.If it wasn't for the unexpected illness of the male master in the family, everything would be peaceful and happy.Due to the sharp drop in income, the family became more and more distressed.The eldest daughter decided not to take the exam after graduating from technical secondary school, and insisted on going to work first to reduce the family's expenses.Later, she found a job as a clerk in an advertising company in other places.My daughter is very sensible, and often calls home, saying that work is going well, and she has a boyfriend again, so that her mother can rest assured.So, the mother at home taught classes with peace of mind, took care of the young daughter in high school and the paralyzed father, everything was ordinary, and the days passed by so calmly.

Until one day, a phone call came, saying that something had happened to the eldest daughter and the family was sent home.At this point, the ordinary life turned into a whirlpool, and the mother and eldest daughter were pushed into the center of the whirlpool.

The mother rushed to her daughter's company by train. When her daughter's colleague told her that her daughter had been arrested for arson, she was stunned.Exhausted all over, she panicked and found the detention center where her daughter was detained. Facing the majestic and stern iron gate, she just realized that it is not allowed to meet each other during the detention.The night was dark and the wind was icy cold, but her heart seemed to be set on fire.How is the daughter now?Can I eat and drink water?
What did she do?The slightest concern is like a sawtooth with a blade in the mother's heart.That night, she didn't go to the hotel to rest. Helpless, she just stood guard outside the high wall of the detention center all night, because she wanted to be closer to her daughter!

After waiting for nearly a month, my mother finally waited for the court hearing.In order to save money, she walked.That day, she set off early from the small hotel where she was staying. On the way, she saw a food stall selling dumplings. She didn't want to eat them, but bought a big bag and put it in her arms and stuck it on her stomach. This is what she could think of. The only way to keep dumplings warm.

The trial ended soon, and the daughter set the fire because she was cheated by her boyfriend.Seeing her daughter's dazed and dull eyes, and hearing the uncomplicated case, the mother's heart sank deeply, sinking.If it wasn't because of poverty in the family that made her daughter give up studying, if her daughter was by her side, if she could often visit her instead of just listening to the voice on the phone, if... would all this still happen?Regret and self-blame gnawed at her, all of this could have been avoided!
Since it was not a public trial and there were not many people in the court, the mother made a request to the judge: "I came to see my daughter from thousands of miles away. I have been waiting for nearly a month. Today is the first time I see my daughter. I brought dumplings for my daughter, and my only wish now is for my child to eat some dumplings!"

Seeing the dumplings she took out from her bosom, the judge made an exception. When the mother fed the dumplings into her daughter's mouth, the scene made everyone present cry. The mother's tears and the daughter's tears came together. Poured over the dumplings.

The daughter was sentenced to three years in prison.It was late at night, and the daughter standing on the dock dangled in front of her mother's eyes, with a haggard face, no excuses, no rebuttals, and the daughter chose to remain silent.When he first stepped into society, he was tripped by a bad boyfriend.How did the innocent daughter know that there are some people in this world who can't find anything that can be called human except for a human body.How can the innocent daughter understand that shameless, sinister, despicable... don't just appear in the dictionary, they are real.My daughter is beautiful, smart, and hardworking. These points have made her daughter go smoothly, and this has also cultivated her to be strong and staunch.Credulity caused her daughter to choose the wrong boyfriend, and staunchness caused her daughter to break the law.Only a mother knows her daughter best, and she hears the despair of life from her daughter's cry!The abandonment of the future is read from the daughter's silence!That night she made a major decision to spend three years with her daughter!

My mother soon went back to her hometown, quit her job as a teacher, arranged housework, returned to the local area and rented a cheap private house, and began to live in the same city as her daughter.The situation was just as the mother expected, and the daughter did not want to live. During the first visit to the prison, she learned about her daughter's hunger strike.

So she made another decision to tell her daughter the truth about her current situation.Before that, she had been writing to her daughter that she was working as a copyist in a company. The salary was very high, the work was not tiring, and she lived a good life.And what about the real situation?The first job she found with great difficulty was to paint the fence on the road. It was bitter, tiring, dirty, and smelly... She was not afraid, but she was afraid of losing this job. She worked extraordinarily hard, but in the end, her efforts Did not keep the job.At noon on the fifth day, the sun was scorching, the asphalt road was so hot that people hardly walked on the street.Just when she lowered her head and was about to brush down, a fishy liquid flowed out of her nose, and the nosebleeds flowed profusely and violently.The foreman was frightened, and he refused to let her work any more, and sent her away by giving her an extra [-] yuan.After that, washing the dishes, carrying, cleaning... as long as someone hired her, even if it was half-day work, even if it was a few yuan, she would fight for it.Scolding, rolling eyes, contempt... She endured all of them, because her dream was to take her daughter home with her in three years and give her a new world.This goal gave this fifty-year-old woman tremendous courage.Eventually she found a job as a nanny, and the only condition she asked was to take one day off every month to see her daughter.

After hearing her mother's experience, her daughter's heart was shocked. The unaccompanied mother in a foreign country bravely endured the double pressure of body and spirit that she had never experienced because of her own fault.The mother's bravery, perseverance, and painstaking care for her daughter finally awakened her daughter's sense of responsibility to herself and her family, and her daughter regained the courage and confidence to live.

At the employer’s house, my mother has two glass bottles, one big and one small. Every night, my mother rubs a mung bean in her hand, thinking, daughter, I spent another day with you.When the small bottle was full of thirty pills, mother emptied the small bottle and put one pill into the big bottle.

That day was also the day my mother looked forward to most, because she could see her daughter.Day after day, the vial was empty and full, full and empty again.When there were thirteen mung beans in the big bottle, my mother received a call from the prison asking her to go.She asked for leave from her employer and rushed to the prison anxiously.At the inmate meeting in the prison, she saw a sketch written and performed by her daughter, named "Mom".When the warden announced that the prototype "mother" of the skit was also present, the audience burst into applause, and finally a long-lost smile appeared on the mother's face.She knew that the clever daughter finally stood up where she fell.

A few days later, due to her outstanding performance, her daughter received a one-year commutation of her sentence.The day when the mother took her daughter out of prison happened to be a sunny day, with blue sky, white clouds, and warm sunshine shining on the mother and daughter without hesitation.A new day has begun.Everything is so beautiful, so good, so promising!

The philosopher said that maternal love is the most selfless and precious love!

The poet said that maternal love is the most touching and greatest love!

The author said that maternal love is the bravest and most fearless love!

This is a true record of a life experience of an ordinary woman, not a fabrication.
