My  Mother
“Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please? Here are your train tickets for back home, I’ll hand out.” The monitor saying loudly. I feel so happy because of the coming winter holidays. I have not gone home for one year and I’ll go home in this winter holidays. I miss my mother so much that I want to see her at once. Maybe I should call her and tell her the good news, she must be as happy as me.
“Hi, Mom. I’ll back home on January.
“Is that Jing? I’m your aunt .Your mother doesn’t at home now.” A woman’s voice, but not my mother.
“Where’s my mother?”
  “She is in hospital.”
  I’m shocked and ask without any stops, “What is the matter with her?”
  “Don’t worry! She will be ok quite soon. When you get home, you’ll see her.”
Form that moment; I can not stop worrying about my mother. I want to know how she is now. I want to stay with her at once. She is so precious for me. and I consider her as important as my life, really.
In 1983, a summer, she married my father. It was not because they fall in love with each other, but the arranged marriage. He never complained her parents, she just be obedient. She always tried her best to be a good wife. However, my father didn’t love her, especially after my birth. Because I’m a girl, but he only likes son. That is to say, I just have a father but I never get love from him. Instead, mother loves me very much and considers me as important as her life. During that time, my family’s life conditions were so poor, and we couldn’t just live on my father’s salary. So, mother went out and to be a temporary worker so that make our life easy. Everyday, after the work, they got home. My father just sitting on the chair and had a rest. However, my mother only starting another work---housework, and also looked after her little daughter. Indeed, she was so tired after the day and night work, but she didn’t had a rest, and never complained
In 1990, I was a student of elementary school. In order to make more money for my tuition fee, my mother often stays up for works. My father only did what he did before, he never care about anyone of us---my mother or I.
One day, after school, I went back home. My mother was cooking, and my father was watching TV. I went to the side of my mother and said “Mom, our school is going to pay a visit on the history monism next week, and everyone should hand in 50 Yuan.
“How much?” my father interrupted.
“50 Yuan.” I answered  
“We don’t have so much money! You mustn’t go to the monism! Stay at home!” He shouted at me.
I was so afraid that I never said any more words about the visit. In the afternoon, I wet to the school without money. Everyone brought the money and handed in. Only I was sitting on my seat. I really eager for the visit, but…
“Jing, here’s your money!” A mild voice from my side.
I looked up, it was my mother! She took the money for me. I was so happy at that moment. Although 50 Yuan is not so much, indeed it is extravagance for my family. My mother spares it for me. Because she always try her best to make her daughter as happy as other children.
  In 1997, I was in the middle school, my father lost his job. So the family lost pillar of economy. How to support the family? Although as a woman, my mother thought more than my father. She tried to find another job to do. Everyday she got up early and went to bed late. She spent little money and be gorgeously dressed so that she could spare money for the family, for my father and me. She was looked older than her real age because of the hard working. Once I went shopping with her, the shop assistant asked my mother “What can I do for you, aunt?” I was so angry “She is younger than you!” My mother prevented me and let me went out the shop with her. I knew she must be so sad, but she never complain in front of other people.
After the supper, I went back my room and read a book for falling asleep. Time went so fast, it was deep night. I got ready to go to bed. Suddenly, I heard some groans from the living room. It’s my mother’s voice. I went out and saw she was sitting on the chair, burying her waist. She seemed had a big plain. “What the matter, Mom?” I asked anxiously. “It doesn’t matter. I’ll be ok soon. You go to bed.” She answered me weakly. Under the light, I saw her face was pale and there were so much sweat on her forehead. I was worried about her and went to the bedroom to weak up my father “Dad, Mom is ill, we‘d better take her to the hospital.” To my surprise, my father said “Don’t worry! There’s nothing serious! She will be ok tomorrow morning.”H e was saying without opening his eyes, and fallen asleep quite soon. There is no time for me to hate him, I went to the living room and supper my mother with my hands. Then, we two went to the hospital in the cold deep night. It was raining; my mother and I were walking hardly on the road. At that moment, I really want to be a man that I can protect my mother and gave her all my love to her. I knew she was hurted, not by the serious illness but by my cold and detached father. The rainwater was hitting in both of our faces, flowing into our mouths It was salty, we didn’t know whether it was the rain or our tear. The road is so long, but there were only two persons walking on, a mother and a daughter, in a heavy rain. From that moment, I knew who the precious person for me was.
“Ring! Ring...” I am interrupted by the ringing phone.
“Hello?” I asked.
“Hello,” A weak and familiar voice “can I speak to Jing? I’m her mother.”  
I am so surprise that I can not stop crying “ Mom, I worry about you very much. How are you now?”
“I’m ok. Don’t worry, my dear. Mom will wait for you at home. We’ll see each other soon, right?”
Both of us are smiling, happily.
No matter what happened, there are always two persons stay with each other, support with each other. They are my mother and I.
