(Past touching stories)
I come from a family of three! Since I was a child, my parents have lived separately from my grandmother. In my memory since I was six years old, there has been no warmth from my grandmother! It's not that she passed away, but that she looked down on our family and had prejudices against her children! Among the three sons, my father, as the youngest son, suffered the most hardships, so after getting married, his health wasn't good, and it was only my mother who kept the household going! When I was seven... My parents would go to work in the fields before dawn, leaving me locked inside the house. When I woke up in complete darkness, I cried out for my mom!
Unfortunately, there was still silence and darkness! I cried! Cried endlessly, not knowing how long I cried until the sky brightened and the door opened! Mom! When my mom saw me, frail and convulsing on the ground, she immediately hugged me tightly and cried with love! There was no one to comfort me! This is how my parents... would leave before dawn, but they would take a lantern. Even though I was still scared, I became stronger and stopped crying! Instead, I put on my shirt and ran to someone else's house! It was cold in autumn, and I ran to my aunt's place! My aunt held me in her arms! And thus, my childhood made me braver!
When I was eight and started school, my mom took me to school on the first day and then left. She gave me fifty cents, but I didn't want to spend it... Watching my classmates buy snacks, I wanted to buy them too, but my mom had told me not to waste money, so I didn't touch it! By the time school ended, I took out the crumpled fifty cents and gave it back to my mom. She asked why I hadn't spent it!
I told my mom that I wasn't hungry and wanted to save it for the next day! That's how I finished my first grade; I learned how to save money. My mom sent me to school for the first and last time... because afterward, I went to school with the older kids by myself! I did well in my studies, always ranking in the top three from first to fourth grade! At eleven, I could reach the stove and learned how to cook rice. Every morning, I wouldn't wake my parents, cooked by myself, ate, and then went to school! By sixth grade, I knew how to cook all kinds of meals! During holidays, I was the one cooking! I scored fifth place in my exams!
I cried because my... grades dropped, so I studied hard during the vacation! Because when school resumed, I would be entering the first year of junior high school and become a middle school student! I still remember making a big joke on the first day of class! Because I was small for my age and still wore children's clothes, even though I sat at the same height as others, when the teacher called my name from the last row and I stood up, unfortunately, the teacher couldn't see me and thought I was still sitting! The teacher called my name several more times. Just as I was about to speak, a boy in front shouted: "Teacher, she's standing, but she's too short for you to see!" Wow! I instantly became the center of attention! The回头 rate was 100%! You can probably guess the result!!
Even as a middle school student, I was still like a little kid! Innocent, but with fewer smiles! I rarely talked to people because I was self-conscious about being short! By the end of the term, my grades didn't make it onto the big board! I lost confidence in my studies, but my parents didn't agree and insisted I continue until the second half of the first year of junior high. A month into the new semester, I fainted while riding my bike on the road. The next day, I didn't go to school, and later, I just stopped attending! My mom didn't want me to work, so I stayed home for four years! Housework and farm work were things I handled skillfully!
The villagers said I was capable and would have a blessed life in the future! But actually, I also yearned for the outside world. However, I couldn't bear to leave my parents because my mom couldn't do without me. I shared half of the household responsibilities, and if I left, my parents would be even more tired! In the summer of my eighteenth year, my mom bought me a mobile phone, and I was so excited that I didn't sleep all night! But how would I pay the phone bill? Later, my sister, who runs a restaurant, pleaded tirelessly, and finally, my mom agreed to let me work as a waitress! I worked for two months, came back for my friend's wedding as a bridesmaid! By then, I had become taller and fairer, cuter! That's where I met my first love, but I couldn't continue working at my sister's place. After taking leave and not being granted, I secretly ran back home! My mom pitied me and didn't let me work anymore! So, I obediently stayed at home!
As for that man, we parted ways after meeting just once! From staying at home at eighteen, at nineteen, I learned how to use a mobile phone online! But I never used video calls because I didn't know how to use a computer! I also never met netizens because I didn't have the time or money, after all, I was unemployed, and even the phone bill was an issue! At twenty, I just learned how to type on a computer and upload pictures, but I still preferred using my mobile phone because it was cheaper and faster! By the Year of the Tiger, I turned twenty-one and was still single because my parents didn't approve of dating, so I didn't dare either!
It's not easy for my parents to raise me for a lifetime, so I don't want to hurt their hearts! Actually, my requirements are not high! As long as I don't worry about food and clothing, love me, respect my parents, and most importantly, I don't have to worry about anything. I don't want to follow in my mom's footsteps; she worked hard for half her life. I want her to enjoy her later years without worrying about me anymore! I am just an ordinary girl, and all of the above are my experiences over these twenty years. Everything I said is true. Readers, please leave comments if you wish, but don't repost! I don't want too many people to know about me, thank you! Xiaoyu thanks you all here!
