我的妈妈

我的妈妈长相很普通，身材稍胖，面容黝黑，一双眼睛勉强算得上有神，可左邻右舍和同事却很喜欢她。

外婆说那是因为妈妈太老实了。小时候，邻家爷爷奶奶种的果子成熟了，她天天从树下经过，只会抬头看看，从不伸手去摘。偶尔，她帮衬着家里去商店买东西，找回来的钱也都是分文不少的。有一回，她去买日常用品，王奶奶多找了她几角钱，她立马就还了回去。即使是在放学路上捡到的钱，她也会在第二天交到老师的手上。家中姐弟仨人，只有她不会偷懒，争着抢着帮忙做家务，干农活，学习上也从不用大人操心。

爸爸说那是因为妈妈太爱管闲事了。逛街时，只要看到有人在路边乞讨，她就会掏空皮夹里的硬币和小钞。平常看到小孩跌跤、青年问路、老人拿重物什么的，不管是否相识，她不假思索就会上前帮忙。公司里哪位同事有急事上不了班，只要给妈妈来个电话，她二话不说就会赶去替班，至于像给邻居大妈大爷捎带吃的、用的这样的芝麻绿豆小事就更不用提了，几乎天天都有。爸爸埋怨她热情泛滥，她却说那是“举手之劳”。

阿姨说那是因为妈妈太傻了。一个寒冷的冬天的早晨，妈妈送我上学，回家的路上捡到了一部崭新的三星手机。怕失主着急，她站在凛冽的寒风中等了整整两个小时。后来实在冻得受不了了，她只得拿着手机先回了家。到家没多久，电话响了，原来是失主打来了电话。妈妈立刻接起电话，耐心地把前前后后的事情说了，然后让他到我家楼下的桥上等着自己把手机送过去。失主感激之余拿出两百元钱酬谢妈妈，妈妈却婉言拒绝了。阿姨说她脑子锈透了，送上门来的好处都不要，她却说人在做，天在看，不义之财不能贪。

曾经也有一段时间，我也觉得妈妈好傻、好爱管闲事……现在，我真为自己拥有这样一个人见人爱的妈妈而感到无比自豪。

My mother looks very ordinary, slightly fatter, dark face, and her eyes are barely enlightened, but her neighbors and colleagues like her very much.

Grandma said it was because my mother was too honest. When I was a child, the fruits grown by the grandparents next door were ripe, and she passed under the tree every day, only looking up, never reaching out to pick it. Occasionally, she helped her home go to the store to buy things, and the money she got back was quite a bit. Once, when she went to buy daily necessities, Grandma Wang asked her a few dimes more, and she immediately paid it back. Even the money she picked up on the way from school, she would hand it over to the teacher the next day. There are three siblings in the family, but she is the only one who can't be lazy, rushing to help with housework and farming, and she never has to worry about her studies.

Dad said it was because mother was too nosy. When shopping, whenever she saw someone begging on the side of the road, she would empty the coins and small notes in her wallet. I usually see children falling, young people asking for directions, old people taking heavy objects, etc., no matter whether they know each other or not, she will step forward to help without thinking. If a colleague in the company can't go to work in a hurry, as long as she calls her mother, she will rush to replace the shift without saying anything, not to mention the trivial things like sesame mung beans for the neighbor’s aunt and uncle. Yes, almost every day. Dad complained of her overwhelming enthusiasm, but she said it was "a simple effort."

The aunt said it was because my mother was too stupid. One cold winter morning, my mother sent me to school and found a brand new Samsung mobile phone on the way home. Fearing that the owner was anxious, she stood in the freezing cold wind for two full hours. Later, it was too cold to bear, so she had to go home first with her mobile phone. Not long after I got home, the phone rang, and it turned out that the owner called. My mother immediately answered the phone, patiently explained the things before and after, and then asked him to go to the bridge downstairs of my house and wait for him to send the phone. The owner thanked his mother with two hundred yuan, but the mother politely refused. The aunt said that her brain was rusty, and she didn't want the benefits of the door, but she said that people are doing it, the sky is watching, and ill-gotten wealth cannot be greedy.

There was also a time when I thought my mother was so stupid and nosy... Now, I am really proud of having such a lovely mother.
