Zi Peng finished going through the two graves. It was already the time for the stars to fill the sky and the red lanterns to shine. When he arrived home, the table was filled with the best dishes that could only be eaten on New Year's Day: stewed mushrooms with chicken, sweet and sour carp, shredded bananas, shredded beef, returned elbow, red-braised pork chops, squid leeks, fried garlic, and four cold mixes for a total of twelve dishes.
Zi Peng and his family sat around the table. He opened a bottle of red plum wine s that were produced by the generalization. He first poured a cup for his mother, then another for Ding Xiaofeng, then he poured a cup for himself as well. Zi Peng raised his wine cup and said to his mother:
”Mother, you have just passed your birthday and now it's Spring Festival. Let me toast you! I have never forgotten the kindness you have shown me. ”If it wasn't for you as my teacher, then there wouldn't be my current self.”
After Zipeng finished speaking, he raised his head and gulped down a glass of wine. Mother took only one sip. Zi Peng continued.
”Mom, we have 3 more happy events to congratulate for this new year.”
After Zi Peng finished speaking, Tsinghua and Yu Hua asked at the same time:
”Dad, what are the three happy events? Why didn't we know? Tell us quickly? ”
Zi Peng glanced at everyone and said at a moderate pace,
”The first joyous event was when I wrote the manuscript, which was broadcast on the radio and published in the newspaper. By the end of the year, there were 100 of them. Is this a good thing? ”
Hearing what Zi Peng said, the two daughters were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. The two of them said in unison:
”Dad, this is a happy occasion, even we are happy for you. What's the second good thing, Dad? ”
Zi Peng felt very proud when he saw how happy they were. He restrained his smile and said slowly:
”The second joyous event was the accident on the 12th of September last year. I survived and survived. Do you think this is not a happy occasion? ”
At this time, Yu Hua impatiently asked:
”Dad, of course this is a huge joyous occasion. Tell me, what's the third happy occasion? ”
Zi Peng wanted to laugh when he saw how worried his daughters were, but he couldn't. After pondering for a moment, he said:
”Actually, all of these things happened by our side. You didn't observe or discover them.”
Tsinghua University heard the meaning behind her father's words, so she asked,
”Dad, you mean about the recruitment?”
Hearing Tsinghua University's words, Zi Peng nodded his head and said with satisfaction:
”Oh right, it's about the recruitment. This is one of the great happenings of our family. Now, our family has turned into town hukou and become workers. Isn't that a good thing? Also, your grandmother gets a monthly allowance of 53.5 yuan. Furthermore, all three of you are all workers under the public contract, and your mother became a Great Collective workers. ”
After listening to Zi Peng's words, his mother sighed with emotion.
”Child, this year's events are all joyous events. Especially after you were in a car accident and came back to life. As for working as a worker, I'll pay for it. I've never dared to think about such things. ”It was all thanks to Zi Peng's good prospects that he became a cadre and transferred his account to the third team. Now that he's become a worker, my Elder Zhang has a lot of face too!”
Hearing his mother's words, Zipeng was naturally very happy in his heart. With a big smile, he took over his mother's conversation and said:
”Mother, this is all your credit. If you had made me illiterate by leaving me out of school, that would not be the case now; that would be a real peasant. ”
When her mother heard Zipeng's words, she naturally felt extremely happy in her heart. She took a sip of wine and said,
”Yeah, back then, the family was so poor that they had no money to eat.” There are many kind-hearted people who advise me not to let you study. Even if I don't listen to them, I will still try my best to make you two read. Even if I have to risk my life, I will make you two read. It seems that I was right not to listen to their advice. ”
Zi Peng felt that his mother's choice was the right one. Although it was a little tough at the time, but now it was a beautiful and blissful decision. He praised his mother and said:
”Mother's idea is still the right one. Mother's foresight is still the best. Mother is still sensible and reasonable.”
They finished their dinner, talking and laughing. He then entered the stage of wrapping dumplings and watching TV.
Zi Peng's Spring Festival this year was more grand than any other year. Only firecrackers, fireworks. It cost more than 300 yuan. It was an epoch-making celebration. It was an epoch-making Spring Festival...
January 23rd. Today is the first day of the new year. Around 8 AM, the family of three came to greet their mother and Zi Peng. They came to his house in the freezing wind and the freezing snow. Zi Peng was overjoyed to see them, and quickly let them into the house. Lixia paid her respects to her mother first, and she gave her mother a deep bow. He said:
”Mother, happy new year to you!”
The mother saw her goddaughter coming and felt very happy. She took her daughter's hand and said:
”My good child, it's new year for you as well. Happy New Year to your whole family!”
After Lixia and Ding Xiaofeng greeted each other, they met two more daughters. Then she and her mother sat on the kang, holding hands. At this time, Zi Peng and Gui Hong were playing chess. The two daughters served them tea and poured water for them, along with melon seed, peanuts, and sugar cubes.
As soon as she saw her mother, she had a lot to say. She said:
”Mother, from the day of your birthday last year, I acknowledged you as my mother. I am very happy in my heart. After returning home, I didn't sleep for the entire night. ”
When his mother saw the pretty face of Lixia, which was full of smiles, she patted her hand emotionally and said:
”Xiao Xia, your mother is even happier. ”I'm old, and I've already adopted a daughter. Do you think Mother's heart can be unhappy?”
At this moment, Lixia was especially agitated. ”Huu.” With hot tears in her eyes, she said with deep appreciation:
”Mother, this is the first time in my life that I have tasted a mother's love. This is the first time that I have experienced the warmth of a mother's love. This is the first time that I have received the love of a mother.”
