The old mother and the old sister than buy New Year's goods.
Last night, my mother called ** and asked me: "What is the name of a dried fruit with a round and hard shell and a thin metal sheet at the opening?" I blurted out, "Macadamia nuts." ”
My mother said angrily, "That's the name, I can't remember it just now, I'm so stupid." Just now Sister Luo said that her family bought 10 catties of dried fruits like this, and she said a very strange name. ”
My mother recently liked to eat a particular kind of nut, which she said was given by a friend of hers, but I couldn't remember what the name of the nut was. If it was macadamia nuts, her friend was so generous.
I'm going to the store tomorrow to buy some to try. Some of my mother's most frequent friends were female neighbors of her age. I call their surnames "Vegetable Paste".
Before my mother was two years old, my grandmother died. My grandfather had to teach and couldn't take care of his three young children, so he put his mother in foster care with a relative. Since childhood, my mother has developed a character that is strong on the outside and fragile on the inside.
She rarely socializes with people who earn more than her and have better conditions than her. My mother and the three aunts Cai, Hu and Luo all moved from the town to settle in the county, and they all lived on pensions of more than 2,000 yuan.
Their circumstances are similar and they share a common language. They are older than their mothers, and their wives have all passed away.
Mom's friends, their advantage is that they have a wife, and the wife also receives a pension. They buy vegetables together every day, and when eggs and vegetables are discounted, they go together to buy them.
Listen to lectures together, line up to receive free eggs, and be fooled together. Playing cards and walking together, they know the work and salary of the children of each family clearly.
The mother's shortcoming is that her children are not civil servants. The community where my mother lives is only one step away from the county, and the county magistrate also lives in this community. And the children of Aunt "Cai Mu" are all working in the county.
There are three sisters in our family, my sister and I are teaching, and my sister is in business, and none of them are civil servants. However, mom also has something to be proud of. I bought my mother's house, and she and my father lived independently.
However, the "vegetable paste" aunts have to huddle together with their children, serve them every day, and may be angry. In general, although my mother's friends do not have children who are civil servants, they have their own strengths and pride.
Although the "vegetable paste" aunts live with their children, they also need to serve their children, and may also have to endure the disrespect of their children.
The relationship between mom and aunts is like an encyclopedia of life, and every time she gets to **, it is the moment when she understands other people's family affairs. Aunt Cai's son-in-law was promoted, Aunt Luo's grandson was admitted to Sichuan University, and Aunt Hu's daughter secretly gave her pocket money.
At the card table, Aunt Luo's temper that she can't afford to lose makes people feel funny, although her sister is busy with business, she will patiently listen to her mother tell these stories every time.
However, my sister also has her own opinions, and she advises her mother that if the aunts can't afford to lose, don't play with them and find something to do on her own. Although her mother was a little angry about this, she still followed her sister's advice, and after a few days, she couldn't help but be lonely and went to play with the aunts.
My father was too weak to walk with my mother. Mother is a chatterbox, non-stop talking, like a repeater. Father used to be alone and silently doing things, silently looking at his phone**.
I usually call my mother every other day and listen to her nagging. I would advise my mother to play with her aunts more. Do you remember Zhao Benshan's previous sketches? It costs money to ask someone to chat in the city.
Talking to your peers more and talking more every day is using your brain, and it may even help prevent Alzheimer's disease. Every time my brother-in-law thought my mother was verbose, my mother would use me as a shield.
She told her brother-in-law that her second daughter said that talking too much could prevent Alzheimer's disease, and she was also for their good. If she had dementia, they might have suffered. The brother-in-law had no choice but to shut up and stop commenting.
I wonder if mom bought macadamia nuts today, I'll hit ** to confirm later.
