My mother has never read a book. She can't read at all, but she is great, and all the villages in Shili know her.

My mother is fierce, not arrogant, but fierce. In the present words, she is a mother with three views and a big pattern. In my mind, she is an illiterate big coffee.

She has no culture, and her mind is full of simple philosophical thoughts, which is our sister's behavior guide, and her words are our life treasure.

"Don't point at someone else's rake. No matter how good they are, they can't get grass, and their own targets can build baskets. "

We've heard this from her since childhood. No matter who she is, Sister Wu is down-to-earth, not flattering people who are richer than us, not envious of others' "golden rake", and even afraid to have any illusions. Every family's happiness depends on their own efforts.

"If you want to get ahead in front of others, you have to suffer afterwards."

This sentence made our sisters benefit a lot on the way to school that year. Mother told us to bury ourselves in our studies and burn the midnight oil at home. In the northeast, there is no heating in winter, and now I don't know how it came. There is no air conditioning in summer. Not only hot, but also bitten by mosquitoes. Whether in winter or summer, studying at home at night is a real pain for us. But we didn't complain, and we were more and more willing to study, because this method made five of us get excellent results in various exams, which was praised by teachers and welcomed by classmates. At that time, we were all famous in Shili village. Others say that all five children are particularly smart and study well. Actually, he is not as smart as they say. Only we know how much we have suffered behind our backs. Later, learning changed our destiny, from rural areas to cities. Now that I am working, I often take my work home, refine and polish it, so I am often appreciated by the leaders.

"If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer."

What she said about "old people" was all persuaded by various experiences. When we grow up, we have our own ideas and occasionally don't listen to her. Every time I fail, I secretly admire my mother's foresight in my heart. Now whenever something happens, I always consult more experienced people, so that I can take fewer detours. Listen to "the old man's words", suffer less and make more money. Ha ha. For example, she always tells us, "Take a nap when something doesn't make sense. When people wake up, things will pass. " Mom's thoughts now should be that sentence, "Yesterday's big event is today's small event, and last year's big event is this year's story." Now we are both working and married. There will always be such a hurdle, and when I think of my mother, my heart will be wide. Influenced by my mother, our five sisters are all open-minded, optimistic and full of positive energy.

Mom has never been to school, but she knows education. When we were young, my mother had to work in the fields during the day, and all our preschool education was conducted at night. We were lying in bed, and my father taught us Chinese Pinyin, multiplication formula, addition and subtraction within ten minutes, and literacy. It was all my mother's idea. He told dad to teach us the easy ones first, and then the difficult ones. Also let our five sisters teach the younger ones; Not today, not tomorrow, not afraid, you can always learn in 365 days; Ask questions before learning new things every day, review the old ones and learn new ones. Now think about these simple pre-school education, but it really made us win at the starting line in later study, and her method is correct.

What we admire even more is that mom and dad are mediators of civil disputes in the village. Regardless of the size of the village, as long as it is a dispute, they will go to their parents for mediation, and as long as it is the mediation result given by their parents, they will obey. If she had studied law, she might have become the most popular judge.

Now my mother has changed from a rural old lady to an urban old lady. At first, I was afraid that they were lost. Mom said there was a mouth under the nose. You can't lose me anywhere. Your father and I are here. You don't have to worry about us Work is the mainstay, supplemented by parents.

After two months of investigation, they opened a canteen in their 60 s and later opened a snack bar. Once, there were eight people working in her snack bar. She proudly said, "Look, is mom okay?" Not only did I come to the city for a class, but your father also took a class. I also solved eight employed people for the country. "

"yes! In fact, you should have come to the city a long time ago. Maybe more people will come to you for employment. "

She often says that she has no education, just like a blind girl, she feels shorter than others everywhere. In my life, I can't see newspapers, letters and accounts. She also said that when we were young, she made up her mind that we must go to school, and even if we went begging with baskets, she would provide for the five of us to go to college. He also told us that our children and grandchildren should let them study, receive education and do great things in the future. All she has to do is say we promise her every time, because she is afraid of uneducated people.

In fact, there are many housewives like my mother in China who have no chance to study because of their untimely birth. But they will not give up accepting new things because they have no culture; Don't become ignorant and fearless because you have no culture; On the contrary, they show their ignorance in their daily ethics, and some of them are even more admirable and respectable than educated people!
