mother in three bags of rice

In a remote mountain village in the west of Hubei Province, there was a poor family. In this family, only a pair of orphans and widows depended on each other.My son studies hard and gets excellent grades.When the certificates of merit covered the mottled and fallen earth walls, he was admitted to the best middle school in the county.

But my mother became sick from overwork and suffered from severe rheumatism, so she couldn't work anymore.In the middle school at that time, students had to hand over 30 catties of rice to the cafeteria every month.The son knew that the mother couldn't get it out, so he quietly told the mother: "Mom, I want to drop out of school and help you work." The mother said lovingly: "You have this kind of heart, mother is happy from the bottom of my heart, but the book must be read." Yes. Don’t worry, you will have a way to support you when you are born. You go to the school to sign up first, and I will send rice there afterward.”

But the son was very stubborn and determined to stay at home. The mother had no choice but to wave a rough slap on the son's face firmly.This was the first time the son was beaten, and the son obeyed his mother.

Not long after, my mother limped to the door of the school cafeteria, panting and unloaded a bag of rice from her shoulder.Master Xiong, the registered master, opened the rice bag and said with a frown: "You parents always like to take advantage of it. There are early rice, late rice, and fine rice here. It's like using our cafeteria as a miscellaneous rice bucket." At that time, my mother blushed and said sorry repeatedly.Seeing this, Master Xiong accepted it without saying anything.

But at the beginning of the second month, the previous scene happened again, but Master Xiong still accepted the rice.At the beginning of the third month, my mother looked at Master Xiong with a smile that was uglier than crying.Master Xiong looked at the rice and scolded in a tone that almost lost his mind: "How did you recite it today, and how do you recite it back!"

The mother bent her knees and knelt in front of Master Xiong, two lines of hot tears welled up from her sunken eyes: "Master, let me tell you the truth, this rice is what I begged...begged for." Master Xiong's eyes were wide open, and he was speechless for a while.

The mother rolled up her trouser legs, revealing a pair of stiff and deformed legs, which had swollen into fusiform shapes.The mother wiped away her tears and said: "I have advanced rheumatism, and it is difficult for me to walk, let alone farm. My son is sensible and wanted to drop out of school to help me, but I slapped him to school." She explained to Master Xiong, She has been keeping it from her folks, and she is even more afraid that her son will hurt his self-esteem if he finds out.Every morning, with an empty rice bag in his arms, he quietly went to the village more than 10 miles away to beg for food on a stick, and then sneaked into the village after dark.She put the rice together and sent it to school at the beginning of the month.

Hearing what his mother said, Master Xiong already burst into tears.He helped his mother up and said, "Good mother, I will tell the principal right away to ask the school to donate money to your family." The mother hurriedly shook her hand and said, "Don't...don't, if you let your son know that mother is begging for him to go to school, it will destroy the child. It is not good to affect his self-esteem and affect his studies. I accept the kindness of the master, please keep it a secret for me, remember it!"

Mother was gone, limping.

The principal finally found out about this incident, and he was deeply moved, so he exempted his son's tuition and living expenses for three years in the name of extremely poor students.Three years later, my son was admitted to Tsinghua University.On the day when the graduates were sent off, the principal specially invited him to the rostrum. It was strange that there were three bulging snakeskin bags piled up in the middle of the rostrum.At this time, Master Xiong came to the stage to tell the story of his mother begging for rice for his son to go to school, and the audience was silent.Pointing to the three snakeskin bags, the principal said emotionally: "These are the three bags of rice that the mother in the story begged for. This is food that cannot be bought with money in the world. Let this great mother come on stage."

The son looked down the stage suspiciously, and saw Master Xiong supporting his mother moving up the stage step by step.Thus, the warmest family drama in the world was staged.The mother and son looked at each other, and the son rushed forward, hugged her and cried loudly: "Mother, my mother..."

Suddenly, the stage and the audience became a sea of ​​tears...
