When will the moon come, ask the blue sky for wine. Since I came to this city along the river, every Mid Autumn Festival, I will raise my glass in the direction of the provincial capital, wish my parents health and longevity, and look forward to family reunion every year. This is the wish and helplessness of every wanderer. Finally, the Mid Autumn Festival and national day in 2009 were connected, and coincided with the 60th anniversary of the founding of the people's Republic of China. My wife and I arranged our family affairs, so we rushed back to our parents all night.
My father was 93 and my mother was 88. As the old saying goes, parents don't travel far. But we are a brick of the organization, where we need to move. Fortunately, my brother was transferred back to his parents in his early years, and I was less worried. Now, looking at the two old people in their 80s, they are very happy with their clear thinking, loud voice and hale and hearty spirit. They can take care of themselves in life, except for their ears, eyes and walking on crutches. This is our blessing as children. Seeing us coming back, my parents took the gift and the gully on my face stretched into a plain. For several days, they held photos of their granddaughter, asked endless questions and said endless words, and laughed all day.
In addition to caring about my granddaughter, watching the National Day program is a big event for the two elders. At the beginning of the National Day parade, our parents sat in front of the TV with the volume so high that we had to sit and watch from a distance with our ears covered. When the Second Artillery Corps and the aviation corps passed Tiananmen Square, the two old men simply stood in front of the TV and watched carefully, sighing constantly. Yes, they are all veterans who joined the army at the beginning of the war of resistance against Japan. He has deep feelings for the people's army. How can they be unhappy when they see the army's weapons and equipment changing with each passing day and the motherland becoming stronger and stronger day by day.
They said they didn't sleep well all night when they got the 60th anniversary Medal of the victory of the Anti Japanese war. The next day I put on my new clothes, put on my medallion and asked my grandson to take a lot of photos. On the afternoon of November 11, the old cadre Office of the hall called and asked him to get his father's 60th anniversary medal. When I gave the medal to my father, he looked carefully with a magnifying glass, and tears flashed in his eyes. Mother's will be issued later. She is greedy when she looks at her father's commemorative medallion. In the next few days, those passionate years became the topic of parents' contention. I really admire them. At such an old age, they can still remember the battle stories and characters' names clearly and easily.
It was warm at home on the Mid Autumn Festival. Four generations together, my father is very moved. No wonder my father died when he was nine. The three brothers have been making a living since they were young and old to support themselves and their blind grandmother. In the era of chaos, uncle served in the Kuomintang prison in Nanjing before the war of resistance against Japan because he joined the Communist Youth League. In the early days of the war of resistance against Japan, my father was imprisoned by Japanese devils because he was suspected to be a spy of the New Fourth Army. The third uncle was once imprisoned by the stubborn army because he was suspected of transporting materials to the Anti Japanese armed forces. In order to redeem people again and again, the family sold out. It's really poor. Later, both father and third uncle joined the New Fourth Army. Later, they experienced the hardships of the cultural revolution, and later, their lives became richer and richer day by day & hellip& hellip;。
After dinner, my mother took me to the balcony to see the moon, just like when I was a child. On the night of the Mid Autumn Festival, the sky is cloudless, the moon is high and the stars are dim. Several kites were floating in the sky with flashing lights. In the courtyard, there are many shadows of trees, flashing street lamps and fragrant osmanthus. What a harmonious and beautiful night it is. I really hope my parents live a long life and our big family can get together every Mid Autumn Festival.
But 'people have joys and sorrows, and the moon has a full moon, which is difficult to complete in ancient times'. Last June, my mother left us forever at the age of 90. The Mid Autumn Festival reunion in 2009 has become the best memory in my heart.
