Question

My tears run down when I talk to my parents on the phone. What are they doing when I     them?

Dad works from 7a.m to 9p.m. Mum does all the     . She also has to work in the vineyard (葡萄园). But I can’t do     for them. Every day she got up earlier than Dad. When I     call her at 7:30 in the evening, she is still working and     supper. How hard it is for a daughter to stop the       in heart! And even harder to keep back the tears.     only thing I can do is to promise her that I’ll study hard in the university. I also     her to take care of herself and dad. I can not live       them.

Mum says the happiest time for dad and     is when my sister and I return home. We play

    in the room, watch TV or do anything we like, with dad     mum cooking together in the kitchen. It is     the happiest time for me. I’ve never thought my holidays at home could be so     . I wanted to do more housework because mum really needs more rest.

Love, sometimes, doesn’t need too many     . We may be too shy to say the warm word out. Then give them a call and tell them you miss them.
