Touching short story

*A rose*

A man stopped his car in front of a flower store and wanted to go in and order a bouquet of flowers and ask them to send it to his mother who was far away from his hometown.

As the man was about to walk into the store, he noticed a little girl sitting on the road crying, the man walked up to the little girl and asked her,

"Child, why are you sitting here crying?"

"I want to buy a rose for my mom, but I don't have enough money." The child said. The man felt heartbroken hearing this.

So he held the little girl's hand and walked into the flower store, first ordered the bouquet to be given to her mother, and then bought a rose for the little girl. As he walked out of the flower store, he offered to drive her home.

"Do you really want to drive me home?"

"Of course!"

"Then you can drive me to my mom's place. But where my mom lives, it's far from here."

The man drove all the way according to what the little girl said. Out of the city after the main road, with the winding mountain road forward, unexpectedly came to the cemetery. The little girl put the flowers next to a new grave, she gave her mother, who passed away just a month ago, to offer this rose.

After this, the man sends the little girl home, and then returns to the flower store again.

He canceled the bouquet he was going to send to the mother and instead bought a huge bouquet of flowers and headed straight to his home, which is a five-hour drive away - he was going to present the flowers to her in person.

*Unlocked door*

A mother and daughter live in a remote cottage in a small village.

The mother is afraid of burglary and always locks her door three times at night; the daughter is tired of the boring and unchanging countryside life like a landscape painting. She longs for the city and wants to see the world she imagines through the radio.

Early one morning, the daughter, in pursuit of that illusory dream, sneaks away from home while her mother is asleep.

"Mom, just pretend you don't have me as your daughter!" She only left such a note.

Unfortunately, the world is not as beautiful as she imagined it to be, and 10 years later, her daughter returned to her hometown, dragging her tired body. "Mom!" It was late at night when she returned home, and the faint light penetrated through the doorway. She called softly and knocked again, but there was no answer.

She pushed gently, but the door opened. "How strange, mother never forgot to lock the door before!"

Entering the door, she saw her mother's thin body curled up in the corner of the bed, asleep. "Mom ...... mom ......" Hearing her daughter's cries, her mother opened her eyes, then without a word, wrapped her arms around her daughter's tired shoulders.

After crying in her mother's arms for a long time, her daughter suddenly asked curiously, "Mom, why didn't you lock the door today, what if someone breaks in?"

The mother replied, "Not only today ah, I'm afraid that you suddenly come back at night can not enter the door, so 10 years the door has not been locked."

Ten years as one day, the mother waited for her daughter to return, the daughter's room was decorated as it was then. On this night, mother and daughter reverted to the way they were 10 years ago and slept with the door of the room locked tightly.

※Hair in the lunchbox※

In those poor times, many students often did not even have the ability to bring a decent lunch to school.

This was the case with my neighbor. While his meals were always blackened edamame, my lunches were often loaded with poached eggs - what a difference.

What's even more amazing is that almost every time my neighbor eats lunch, he picks a few hairs out of his lunchbox before eating as if nothing happened. It's a discovery that makes you feel uncomfortable all over. "It shows how sloppy his mom is to have hair in his meal every day!"

The classmates murmured privately. However, in order to take care of his self-esteem, no one said anything to him. Just everyone's impression of him, greatly reduced.

One day, after school, the neighboring students called me: "If there is nothing, go to my home to play it!" Although the heart is not very willing, but since the same class, he was the first time to open his mouth to invite me to play at home, so I was embarrassed to refuse him.

Followed him to a very remote mountain village outside the county town. "Mom, I brought my classmate here!" Hearing the excited voice of his classmate, the door to the room opened. "My son's classmate is here? Let me see." The classmate's aged mother said as she fumbled with the wall and walked out. It turned out that she was blind in both eyes.

I felt a pang of nostalgia and could not say a word.

Although the student's lunch is just edamame every day, it is the mother who can't see her eyes, carefully helping him to do a good job of loading. That is not just a lunch, it is a mother's full of love, and even the hair mixed in, is the same mother's love
