Happiness in Silver-plated Jewelry Box

I was almost mad at that year. The six years marriage of Daniel and I was risky to an end. My mother Loreena was dying. I had nothing to do but cry and cry.
That day, I sat by mother’s bed. She was emaciated because of the disease. She felt my head with her hand and said: “Wendy, you should not cry any more. If you continue to cry, your blue eyes would become a sea. Any replica tiffany jewelry will not be able beauty you again.” I moved her hand to my face and said: “Dear mom! Do not leave me alone. If you left, I would not have anything more.”
Mother pulled out a key from her patient clothes with her shaking hand. “There is a wooden box in the garret. Open the wooden box and you will see a silver-plated jewelry box inside. Bring it to me with Daniel. This is my last request.”
I promised her with tears. I thought my mother must have a final will. What surprised me it that I never knew she had such a jewelry box. I had not seen my mother wearing any jewelry as well.
That is a heart-shaped jewelry box with hollowed patterns above. The crafts are very fine. Daniel had a look of guilt, following behind me. He said: “Wendy, you know that I didn’t mean to that. The mistake is just an accident. You are always my greatest love!”
I stared back at him, he shut up obediently. Mother gave us a hard smile. She handed Daniel a small silver key and asked him to open the casket. I thought there could be some valuable jewelry inside it. For example, Replica Tiffany Accessories .But what I saw was just a pile of yellow paper.
Mother took one out, and said: “Wendy, read them for me.” I nodded. It is a letter written by my father. My father calls mom sweetheart in his letter. He wrote: “you know people would do some stupid things in carnival. I drank two bottles of gin. I could not control myself. I made a mistake. My dearest Miss Loreena, can you forgive me?”
I raised my head when mother handed me another letter. It reads: “Dear Miss Loreena, how should I do can make you forgive me? Do you want me to be punished like the woman in The Scarlet Letter? She gave birth to my daughter but did not want her. She said she only wanted a leisure life.”
I became sad. I asked mother: “Do I have any other sisters or brothers?” My mother shook her head: “Wendy, that baby girl is you. I am not your biological mother. I raise you for her ... ...”
Then mother told us a story about her, my father and another woman. There is no Replica Tiffany Earrings or any jewelry included in it.
My father was a silversmith. He could only make little money from his job. When he married my mother, He said: “Loreena, I can only make a silver-plated jewelry box to you. But, please believe me. I will make it full of happiness.”
My father and mother had been dreaming of having a child. But this dream did not come true as they wished. In a carnival, my grandfather suddenly became ill. My mother had to back hometown to take care of him. My father was drunk and slept with the most dissolute woman in the town that day. My father was a magnanimous person. He thought it was just a small mistake. My mother was so sad that she threw the silver-plated jewelry box to my father. My mother said: “All you put in this box is just pain.” Despite so, my mother decided to forgive my father at last but their life became a nightmare, no more laughter. It looked like that a creditor lived with a debtor.
One day, the unexpected dissolute woman turned out with a baby girl. She said: “The old silversmith, give me your money for exchanging your daughter. Look, it looks so pretty with Replica Tiffany Bangles. And her eyes are just after yours, as blue as the sea is!” My father glanced at my mother from the corner of his eyes, worrying that she would throw anything to rotten again.
My mother, anyway, did not say a word. She packed some daily necessities and went back to her hometown. A month later, my mother returned to the silversmith shop. She brought some freshest milk and said: “Little Wendy, oh, you should call me mom now!”
Mom said: “Your father didn’t know I had an abortion in my hometown that month. At that time, I was not sure whether I would be a good mother of you. You know, women are always very jealous. So when I was still not sure if I could treat you well, I should not have my own baby. Also, I know if I put those painful past into the box, the remained in my life would all be happiness. If so, Why not try it? ”
I burst into tears and griped her hands: “You have done well, Mom. You are the best mother in the world.” She laughed: “I have gotten the greatest happiness too. You father loves me sincerely all his life. Now I am dying and will see him in Haven. Wendy! If you like, lock all the unhappiness and pain in the box. Put those replicas Tiffany Necklaces always. You will regain your happiness.”
I turned around a Daniel. Daniel cried like children did. He said: “Mom, do rest assured. I will let Wendy happy. I swear!”
A year later, I was pregnant. It was Daniel’s. I came to my mother’s tomb with of Daniel’s diamond ring on my hand. My mother is right. Daniel is a good husband. He says he will never put pain into the jewelry box. He will let it become a real jewelry box. To that end, he works very hard. I touched my belly and happily say: “Mom, Daniel gave me a gift, a child like an angel... ...”

The Story of My Shoes

Shoes were born in ancient times. Human beings have been wearing them since they were invented. Along with the progress of society, shoes together with the human stepped into tens of thousands of households. With time, shoes’ style has been changing, from “straw shoes” during ancient times to the modern types such as sports shoes , mountain climbing shoes, hiking shoes, leather shoes, cloth shoes, slipper, sandals, boots, etc., and even more fashionable, “crystal shoes” or “diamond shoes”. You can see that NIKE Blazer shoes are popular with lots of groups.
Speaking of shoes, I always feel miserable. I have been living in poor conditions from a very young age. I remember my grandpa mainly wore straw shoes or cotton shoes at his age. Those shoes are self-made. Straw shoes have several types. Some are made up of reeds and straw. Later rubber shoes appeared.
Under most circumstances, Straw shoes are worn in spring, summer and autumn. Cloth shoes or cotton shoes are very valuable at that time. They are generally worn in winter because people do not need to go out to work in snowing days.
In the era of my father or the liberation period, farmers are divided into teams and worked together. Foods are distributed according to laborers. People at that time usually wear Jiefang shoes-kind of durable rubber shoes used in army when training. . Straw shoes are put on only when people go on heavy physical labor. What is Nike Rift? People at that time don’t know, some even don’t know what Nike is.
Living conditions get better now. My family is still not better off than others at my age. I was born in the 1980s in a small village to the west of Zhejiang province. So far, my hometown still is the poorest place in Zhejiang province because traffic is inconvenient and our economy development depends on crops. If it is not a harvest year, people can barely support themselves. Young people in our village all move into cities to make chances. Even a replica Nike Sports Swear would be a luxury for them because In fact, as migrant workers, they are not able to save much money either. However, it is better than laboring at home. People at the same age are not well educated in my village. Take myself for example; I even have not yet gotten a primary school diploma. Entering the school at eight-year-old, I dropped out at 12-year-old. It is not because that I don’t like study but because my family can not afford the tuition fee. I was educated only four years in total. Tuition fee was only RMB 30 to 40 for one semester at that time. When I dropped out of school, I still had a semester tuition fee unpaid. Think about the past and take a look at now; I...
My father and mother divorced because they could not tolerate each other’s temper when I was 12 years old. My father then became a migrant employees and rarely back home. So I was left at home alone. I had to keep cattle for wealthy people so that I could stuff my belly.
Divorce may be a quite normal phenomenon to modern people. But in those days, it is incredible to rural people. However, what makes me miserable is that my mother never comes back to see me or buy me a living supplies after the divorce. From then on, I became a semi-orphan. I only had a pair of Jiefang shoes available on the feet throughout the year. At first, the shoes were all right. No matter how good the shoes are, they will be worn by bad treatment over time. You can not imagine what a pair of good shoes means to me. All what I want is a replica Nike Shox Shoes but I had to have my Jiefang put on in raining days, in snowing days, on heavy road and on hills. At last, several worn holes appeared in front of the shoes. Several toes were exposed outside when I had them put on. In order to make these shoes be able to be available for a longer time, I would like to be barefoot when it is a little warmer. Barefoot at home or on flat road, it was ok for me. It would put me in an unenviable position when in hills (Due to the cattle, I had to follow cattle all the time). My feet were often hurt by barbed branches, broke stones on hills. My feet bled much often. But I though it was worth at that time.
Having seen other children peers wearing cloth shoes and cotton knitted shoes made by their mothers, I desired a pair of such shoes even in my dreams. My dream did not realize until a very long period of time. I lived frugally. I raised some chicken. When they grew up, they gave birth to quite a few eggs a day. I never ate those eggs. I sold them to save money. At the end of the year of my 12-year-old, I bought a pair of replica Nike Basketball, using the money I raised from cattle pasture and keeping chicken. That day, I did not sleep for fear of missing my new shoes at the moment I went to fall sleep. It was the most happiness time when I had my new shoes in my hug. In the following days, I often dreamed that my new shoes were broken or lost. I often cried in my dreams and woke up at midnight. (To be continued)
