stories about mothers

The station is out of service, but the school is still open as usual.After school, Shen Gu took Tao Ming home for dinner.They are eating at Shen Gu's house now, because Shen Gu's mother is the best cook.

Tao Ming likes Shen's mother.Shen's mother is very gentle and always has a smile on her face. She will not be angry if he is a disservice to him, and will hug and kiss him.

He likes mother Shen very much.

When it was still dark after dinner, Mr. Pigeon flew over, and it brought a branch from afar.

Tao Ming pulled Shen Gu to look together, but didn't understand what Mr. Pigeon meant, so he could only raise his head to look at Mr. Pigeon: "What kind of branch is this?"

Mr. Pigeon said: "This is a branch of a tree that I rested on when I came back. The trunk of that tree was knocked down by a gun and the branch fell to the ground. The tree asked me to take this branch to one of its friends." , They haven't seen each other for a long time. My friend who I flew around for a long time but couldn't find it, do you know what kind of tree this is? The tree said that they fell together, sprouted together, and took root together. Exactly the same, they should be the same tree."

Tao Ming was taken aback, not quite understanding.

They have learned the classification of plants, but it seems difficult to recognize what book it is from a bare branch.

Tao Ming couldn't help looking at Shen Gu.

Shen Gu frowned.He said, "Let's go to the teacher."

Tao Ming nodded, talked to Shen's mother, and ran out with Shen Gu.

The two ran across two quiet streets and rang the doorbell.After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and it was the white-bearded old man who opened the door during the day.

Tao Ming handed the old man the white-bearded leaves that Mr. Pigeon picked up, and politely asked him if he could help identify them.

The old man with white beard sat under the bright yellow lamp, took out the reading glasses from the glasses case and put them on, looked at them carefully, raised his head and said, "This is the leaf of the purple fruit tree." Mentioning his professional He spoke slowly but in detail, "Its leaves are usually tender red, and in autumn they will turn bright red and bright red, very beautiful. It was extinct decades ago, and I found it after I came here. There are more than a dozen seeds of purple fruit trees, two of which have been successfully cultivated, one of which is still here, and one of which has been moved to my alma mater."

Tao Ming and Shen Gu looked at each other, but did not say the news from Mr. Pigeon.Tao Ming said, "Then where is the remaining purple fruit tree?"

"It's in the forest on the outskirts. I'm old, and I haven't seen it for a long time. It's about the south of the forest," the old man with the white beard said. "In winter, it has no leaves, just like many deciduous trees. , but you can look at its trunk. Every time the leaves fall and its branches fall off in autumn, a red eye will be left on the trunk, which is the imprint of their growth."

Tao Ming seriously wrote down what the old man with white beard said, and thanked the old man with white beard: "Thank you teacher!"

Early the next morning, Tao Ming got up early and ran out to knock on Shen Gu's window.Shen Gu woke up a long time ago, put on his coat and went out with Tao Ming in silence, and met Han Dongsheng and Lin Xiaowu not far away.

When Han Dongsheng heard that they were going to find a tree, he couldn't help muttering: "It's this kind of thing again, why do you keep taking care of these boring things."

When Han Dongsheng complained, Lin Xiaowu had already left with Shen Gu and Tao Ming.He chased after him and shouted, "Wait for me!"

Tao Ming looked at him in surprise: "I thought you didn't want to go."

Han Dongsheng put on a grimace: "Anyway, I don't have anything to do, so I just treat it as exercise."

The four children ran to the outskirts, and sweat oozes from their foreheads in the winter.Tao Ming wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and ran into the forest to find Mr. Fox and them.

Mr. Lion is not there. Mr. Fox says it is hunting in the grassland outside.

Tao Ming said: "We want to find the purple fruit tree." He took out a branch, "Mr. Pigeon brought it back, and wants us to give it to the purple fruit tree in the forest." Tao Ming told Mr. Fox about the purple fruit tree look.

Mr. Fox said: "I know where it is, you follow me."

Tao Ming and the others followed Mr. Fox to run in the forest. They ran to the south of the forest and saw a bare tree.It has lost all its branches, and looks very pitiful, as if it will never grow branches and leaves again.

In fact, many trees along the way are like this.

Tao Ming walked up to the purple fruit tree and took a look. There were indeed red eyes on the top, the lower eyes were lighter in color, and the upper eyes were darker. It should be because the purple fruit tree has grown up.

Tao Ming shouted: "Mr. Ziguoshu!"

The purple fruit tree moved, shaking off the snow on the branches.Its voice was very soft, as delicate and soft as the sleeping snowflakes around it: "Do you have anything to do with me?"

Tao Ming didn't know where the real eyes of the purple fruit tree were, so he raised the branch in his hand high: "This is brought by your friend named Mr. Pigeon."

The purple fruit tree said: "It's a new growth this year. Is it getting warmer over there? It's so fast. It seems that it won again this time!" It felt very strange again, "But why did it grow just now? just dropped?"

Tao Ming hesitated for a moment, but told Ziguoshu the truth honestly.

The purple fruit tree said: "That's it." Its voice was still very soft, "It's okay, as long as the roots are not dug up, we can grow again. It and I have been sleeping underground for a long time, so long that our companions are all scared." One by one died, we are still alive, and fortunately seized the opportunity to take root and sprout."

Ziguoshu thanked Mr. Pigeon who flew with Tao Ming and the others, and stood quietly in the white snow.

Tao Ming and Shen Gu walked forward together, and when they were far enough away from the purple fruit tree, Tao Ming couldn't help but ask, "Can a tree that was damaged by a gun really grow back?"

Shen Gu nodded: "Yes."

Han Dongsheng said: "Of course, it's like they lose all their leaves in winter and grow back in spring." He thought for a while and added, "Unless they were destroyed by nuclear weapons."

Tao Ming frowned: "Are nuclear weapons powerful?"

Han Dongsheng said: "It's very powerful. As long as they explode with a bang, they will create a mushroom cloud in the sky. The nuclear radiation will also spread out like rain, and it will be miserable, no matter what is flying in the sky." Those that walk on the ground, those that swim in the water, that grow in the soil, all will die. Even if they don’t die, they will get sick or deformed, and they won’t disperse for many, many years.”

Lin Xiaowu was shocked: "It's so scary."

Tao Ming tightly grasped Shen Gu's hand.

It may be that what Han Dongsheng said was so shocking that no one spoke again along the way.Shen Gu and the others sent Tao Ming home, only to find that several cars surrounded Tao's house, blocking the entrance of Tao's house tightly.

Tao Ming was taken aback.

A woman got out of the car.Someone gave her a parasol, and she shook her head, motioning for the other person to put the parasol away.

As soon as the beautiful parasol was moved away, Tao Ming saw the other party's face clearly.That was his mother, Anse, who was a musician. She had a beautiful appearance, a beautiful singing voice, extraordinary talent, and a kind heart.She is the spokesperson of many public welfare actions, and has also composed and performed many songs against war and peace.

Tao Ming moved his mouth, wanting to call "Mom", but couldn't.His mother will not come back, his mother already has a foreign nationality and divorced his father.

"Mingming." An Si yelled a little jerky, and then said to Tao Ming, "Come here, I'll take you away. You can't stay here anymore, your father actually left you in such a dangerous place alone .Come on, come with me!"

Tao Ming took a step back.

He held Shen Gu's hand tightly.

An Si seemed very hurt, and shouted again: "Ming Ming!"

Tao Ming pulled Shen Gu to turn around, and ran back.

Han Dongsheng looked at the direction Tao Ming and Shen Gu ran away from, and then turned to look at Ansi.After hesitating for a moment, he still said, "It's not just that Mr. Tao left him, you left him earlier than Mr. Tao."

An Si looked at Han Dongsheng.

Han Dongsheng looked at the people around An Si vigilantly, and ran away with Lin Xiaowu.

The two stopped panting until they were far away from Tao's house.

Lin Xiaowu said: "I think Tao Ming's mother is weird. Is she really here to pick Tao Ming up?"

Han Dongsheng said: "Of course not, she came to pick up her 'son who stayed alone in the war zone'."

Lin Xiaowu couldn't understand Han Dongsheng's words: "Isn't Tao Ming her son?"

Han Dongsheng said, "It's not the same." He curled his lips, "They just want to play the trick of the peace ambassador. Don't think about it, you can't figure it out with your IQ."

the other side.

Shen Gu and Tao Ming ran to the riverside.

They sat under the bridge hole.

It's cloudy outside, I don't know if it's going to rain or snow.

Tao Ming hugged his knees and buried his head in his arms.

Shen Gu sat on the side in silence.After a long time, Shen Gu asked, "Will you go with her?"

Tao Ming hummed twice, suddenly hugged Shen Gu, buried his head in Shen Gu's neck, choked up and said, "I like your mother."

Shen Gu didn't speak.

Tao Ming said it again: "I like your mother."

Shen Gu reached out and patted Tao Ming's back.

"Then don't go with her."

"I like your mother."

"Mom will give you half."

"really?"

"real."

"Can we bake cookies this afternoon?"

"can."

"Can you give me all the cabbage cores from now on?"

"No."
