Originally, my father did this job, but unfortunately, my father sprained his waist during that period and couldn't get up on the kang. He was waiting for money at home, so my mother had to bite the bullet and go on it.

That day was an ordinary late autumn morning. The corn at home was dry, and my mother wanted to drive a van to take them to the grain purchasing station in the town.

Originally, my father did this job, but unfortunately, my father sprained his waist during that period and couldn't get up on the kang. He was waiting for money at home, so my mother had to bite the bullet and go on it.

However, my mother, who went out early that morning, didn't come back until it was dark. My dad couldn't sit still. He struggled to get out of bed and went out to find my mom despite my grandma's opposition.

My dad called my uncle and uncle, and several people went out to find someone with flashlights. Finally, they found the car left by my mother on a small road almost in the town. The corn on the car was still there, but my mother was not seen.

My father and his father searched around for a few times, but there was no trace. At that time, there was no -day eye system. A few honest farmers didn't know how to call the police for help, but in the following days, they asked people to inquire in the surrounding villages and townships one by one.

However, after searching for more than a month, there was no information at all. My mother is a living person and just disappeared 20 miles away from home.

As the incident happened, the village said everything. Some said that my father scolded my mother and ran away, some said that my mother ran away with others, and some said that my mother had elopement with others after taking out the family’s money.

My dad had a blue face and squatted at the door of the house to smoke without saying a word.

That year, I was 5 years old and my younger brother was 3 years old.

My mother met my dad with the help of my cousin.

At that time, my mother had just graduated from high school and was 5 points short of getting into college. Originally, my mother wanted to try again, but my grandfather's family had a bad ingredients and she didn't have that opportunity. My cousin opened a tailor shop in the town and invited my mother over.

My mother is tall and beautiful. When she stood in her cousin’s shop, she was just a dress shelf. Whenever she puts on my mother, it immediately became different.

After studying with my cousin for a year, my mother became a teacher. Grandma was worried that my mother would go out alone, so she thought about introducing her to my mother to a partner as soon as possible, and it would be better to get a family. My cousin introduced my dad to my mom.

The first time I met, my mother didn't like my dad. My dad is not tall and looks dark. He doesn't like to talk much. If he says a few words, his face will turn red.

Ke Auntie said that my dad's family is a serious poor peasant with good ingredients. He also said that my dad doesn't look good, but he is a down-to-earth and capable person. He started his own business at a young age.

My mother had to agree to read everywhere. Later, my grandfather was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer. From the time he was diagnosed to his death, my father was taking care of him, and he was more concerned than my uncle's son. Before his death, my grandfather put my mother's hand in my father's hand, looked at my mother and closed his eyes with peace of mind.

My dad gave my grandma a bride price of 1,000 yuan, and then knocked and married my mom into the door.

Only after marriage did my mother realize that my dad was doing business with my uncle and was learning to make pancakes.

My mother, who knew the truth, did not feel sorry for my father because of this, but seriously planned the future with my father, starting from the cake stall to owning their own small restaurant. In the meantime, they gave birth to me and my brother, and their relationship became deeper and deeper day by day.

Until I was 5 years old, the small restaurant they opened in the town could not reach a deal because of rent. In addition, the business was good and people were jealous and bad, so the restaurant could not continue. My parents had no choice but to deal with the tables, chairs and benches in the store, and took my brother and I back to the village.

The restaurant on which to make a living is gone, but life still needs to continue. It was also at this time that my dad began to be discouraged and was not active in farm work. My mom was the only one who was in charge of it inside and out.

My mother is a woman after all, and she also quarreled with my dad when she was suffering and tired. My grandmother couldn't stand it and said that my mom was seeing my dad fall out and had a lot of worries in her heart.

My dad, who had been silent all the time, saw that grandma was too much, pulled grandma out and apologized to my mom seriously, saying that he would live a good life in the future and not be able to live a life.

But just when my dad was cheering up and was about to start over, my mom disappeared on the way out alone to sell corn. No matter how many ways my dad thought, there was no news at all.

The winter of that year was particularly long. A month after my mother disappeared, my dad stuffed my brother and I into my grandma's arms, packed my luggage, and said he wanted to go out to find my mom and work by the way. He didn't believe that my mom really ran away with others as the villagers said.

Grandma hugged me and my brother, holding her tears, and silently sent my dad out of the house.

days like this will last for two years. In two years, my dad will change his place to work every few months, but he can't find my mom.

Grandma's words made my dad fall into deep thought. That night, my dad sat next to my brother's pillow for a long time, and I don't know what he was thinking. I only know that the next day, my father told me to find a good school for me and let me go to school after the New Year.

Although my father was working all the time in those two years, he threw all the money he saved on the way to find my mother and didn't bring much back. After he came back, he raised some money with his family, packed up his things, took us with him, and returned to town.

He opened another restaurant diagonally opposite the previous restaurant. The name was the same as my mother chose, Kangle Hotel. My mother said that health and happiness are the only magic weapons in life.

Since then, my dad has become like a different person. He was not good at talking before, and he has become eloquent and never stopped for a moment. He has been busy all day in every corner of the restaurant, as if he wants to fill every gap in his life with his busyness.

However, when it was late at night, my dad was still the same as before, sitting alone in a corner of the yard, with his head curled up and looking into the distance. When I was a child, I didn’t understand why my dad could sit there for most of the day as soon as he sat there. Often, we called him, but he couldn’t hear it.

Small restaurants are gradually improving, but our lives are still in short supply. Because I saved a little money, my dad would have to close the door for half a month and go out to find my mom.

This has been like this for several years. When I was ten years old, my dad finally stopped looking for my mom because my grandmother passed away and no one could take care of my brother and I for my father.

My father focused on his business, and the restaurant business was getting better and better. After he stopped going out, his family finally had deposits. Matchmakers came to my house one after another and wanted to say goodbye to my father.

In fact, before my grandmother passed away, she advised my dad more than once, saying that he was still young and had to wait ignorantly. The two children could not have no mother and let my dad get married again.

But my dad said that he has a wife and a child has a mother. He can't be the traitor, otherwise when my mom comes back in the future, he doesn't know how to explain to her.

those matchmakers were driven out by my father. During those years, he really didn't plan to find another mother for us. Although my brother and I were often chased by wild children who were called motherless, the three of us lived a miserable life. He taught us the children who bullied us a lesson, and never had that idea.

Until I was 12 years old, I had my first period. When I was using the toilet in school, I was so scared that I was at a loss and thought I was about to die. When I got home from school, I cried and told my dad that I was going to die. After my dad knew the whole story, his face suddenly turned red, and then his eyes turned red.

He ran to his aunt's house next door and asked her to buy sanitary napkins for me, and taught me how to know the physiological knowledge of girls.It was also that day. My father sat at our bedside for the middle of the night again. The next morning, I saw my father’s glasses were red, as if something had become different.

After that day, my father started a blind date and met no less than a dozen women, some divorced and some widowed, and all were gone without exception.

Because my dad told them that he could live with him in the future, but he would not get the marriage certificate , and he would also take care of our siblings at home. Naturally, no one would be willing to stay with such conditions.

Half a year later, Aunt Lan appeared in our lives.

Speaking of which, Aunt Lan is also a miserable person. After marrying a man in her early years, she gave birth to a son. As a result, her son was not sent to the hospital because of a high fever when he was two years old and died halfway.

Aunt Lan's mother-in-law called Aunt Lan a devastating star, which made her grandson disappear. Aunt Lan's man also believed his mother's words and beat or scolded Aunt Lan. Aunt Lan felt sad, but she never thought about divorce. In that era, divorce was not a glorious thing.

Later, Aunt Lan's man hooked up with a widow and even had a child with the widow, so he swept Aunt Lan out. Aunt Lan's family has long been gone, and she has nowhere to go after leaving her husband's house, so she looks for places to work everywhere.

At that time, my restaurant happened to be recruiting dumplings, so Aunt Lan went to work in my dad's shop.

Aunt Lan is very diligent. Not only does the dumplings she made are thin and have a big filling, but she also keeps her hands and feet all day long. She rushes to do whatever work she has in the store.

Not only that, Aunt Lan is also very concerned about our family. The weather was cold. Seeing that my brother and I were still wearing single shoes, I made two pairs of two cotton shoes with a thousand-layer sole overnight. That hand was a coincidence.

After a long time, my dad also realized Aunt Lan's caringness. After asking me and my brother, he made the statement clear to Aunt Lan: He is not a divorce, he has a wife, but his wife is gone. So, if Aunt Lan is interested, the two can live together, but they can't get married.

Aunt Lan’s in-laws’ home is from the village next to us. Over the years, my father has been experiencing the troubles of my mother in the surrounding villages, and Aunt Lan naturally knows it too.

But Aunt Lan nodded and said, "I just want to find someone who is Zhileng Zhire. She has been away for so many years and you haven't married her. I still want to find her. I believe you, you are a good person!"

2mighty people came together, and Aunt Lan became the "stepmother" in the name of my brother and I.

After Aunt Lan came, my brother and I always had clean and refreshing clothes, and there were more and more smiles on my dad’s face. But I know that my father has never given up looking for his mother. During the holidays, there are always my mother's clothes, bowls and chopsticks on the table.

Aunt Lan never interferes with my father's behavior, nor does she ask my brother and I to call her mother. She said that being able to live together is fate, and who can decide what happens in the future? It’s better to live happily!

That's it, our "family of four" has been together, and it has been almost ten years. Until I got into college and went to study in another place.

During the winter vacation of my freshman year, I went home and Aunt Lan organized a large table of dishes. My dad, who never drinks, also picked up a wine glass. I thought they were to welcome me home, but I didn't expect that after dinner, my dad pulled me to a place.

That was a piece of land near the village. I remember that my grandparents were sleeping there forever. I asked my father, did you bring me to kowtow to grandparents?

My dad didn't say anything, so he pulled me to a new grave. The huge tombstone stood in front. When I saw the words on the tombstone, I was stunned!

is my mother, my father has been looking for for more than ten years. I fell to the ground all of a sudden, and tears flowed down my face in an instant.

On the way home, while my father pretended to be calm, I realized that my mother was killed the day she was lost.

Back then, two little thieves robbed the money and panicked. They happened to meet my mother driving a van on the side of the road.They snatched my mother's car with a knife and wanted to escape in the car, but my mother struggled hard. When they were anxious, they strangled my mother to death.

Seeing that someone died, they were frightened and buried my mother in the woods next to her. The car didn't dare to drive anymore, so they turned around and ran away. If it weren't for the subsequent crackdown, they would have been imprisoned for other things. When they confessed, they bit the dog and told me about what happened back then. My mother wouldn't know how many years she would have to sleep there.

Later, when Aunt Lan said that after receiving a call from the Public Security Bureau, my father suddenly became dumbfounded. Later, he found the place to bury my mother. He cried and laughed like crazy. He found many people and buried my mother again at my ancestral grave.

Aunt Lan said, on the day my mother was buried, my father hugged my mother's coffin tightly, shouted my mother's name loudly, and said, "Yufen, I knew that I didn't wait for you in vain. I have suffered for you all these years!"

My father was sick and barely got out of the ground half a month later.

Dad said that the reason why I didn't tell me at that time was because I was participating in a knowledge competition at that time. He was afraid of delaying me, so he told Aunt Lan and his younger brother that he was not allowed to say that he would wait for me to come back from the holiday before taking me to see my mother in person.

I don’t know if my father’s waiting and searching for years is worth it, but I know that if he asked his father to do it again, he would still make the same choice. Perhaps, he had been regretting that day, he didn't force himself to drive out with my mother.

Let’s talk about Aunt Lan. When my dad did these funerals for my mom, there was no extra word, but accompanied my dad to run around until I settled my mom.

Aunt Lan said that even if my dad never gets a marriage certificate with her, she doesn’t feel regretful. It is God’s gift to her to be able to accompany such a man with deep affection and friendship.

But, why did my brother and I watch coldly? Aunt Lan has taken care of the three of us for so many years on behalf of my mother, and she should have a happy ending.

For more than a lifetime, let us become a real family, rely on each other and share good fortune and misfortune.

I am the age, a strong woman who tells stories seriously
