Yesterday, Women's Day, I spent half a day working with female colleagues in my workplace. I saw that some scenic spots were open to women free of charge, so I went to my mother's house after get off work at noon, planning to take her to the Tiger Garden, which I had talked about before.
Knocking on the door of my mother's house, my father was busy cleaning, and my mother was busy steaming steamed buns. It was a lively life scene.
I brought the clear plastic crystal plate that had been replaced on the dining table at home, and it just happened to be added to my dad’s collection.
We cut out the shape of a glass plate based on the entry-level floor mat, and then covered it. This way, if the shoes get dirty, they can be wiped with a rag, which saves Dad from having to replace the paper pad every once in a while.
Mom came over to watch the fun with trembling hands, laughing and laughing.
After we finished fucking, Mom's big buns were also cooked, and they were so hot that I felt appetizing just by looking at them.
I said your hands are shaking so much and you can still steam buns and cook them so well, that’s amazing!
My mother laughed and urged me to eat it too.
I said I had lunch at work, and my mother said I would try it again. The buns my mother made tasted different.
I couldn't resist the temptation and ate one. It was so delicious, so I ate another one.
After eating and chatting with my mother, my father took the initiative to clean up the kitchen and clean the pots and drawers.
I said to my mother: "Today is Women's Day, how about I go out for a walk with you, an old goddess, and treat you to a meal in the evening?" Mom said: "I just steamed the big buns at noon, and I will make some cornmeal in the evening."
Just drink the porridge, it’s good, don’t go out to eat.” I said, “Didn’t you always say you wanted to go for a walk in the Tiger Garden? Today the Tiger Garden is free of charge, so I’ll take you and Dad to visit it together.”
Said: "The neighbor downstairs who we walk with always says to go to Huyuan, but I don't want to go that much. Firstly, the weather is not that warm yet, and secondly, the epidemic situation has become tense, and the gate of our community is locked again.
There is only one entrance and exit. Let's not go to crowded places." Dad also agreed in the kitchen: "I won't go if I don't go. It's best not to go anywhere during the epidemic. When the epidemic is over and the weather gets warmer, I think.
Go out and play again." I had no choice but to give up.
Mom said again: "You're here just in time, help me cut my toenails." Mom has onychomycosis, and thick and hard nails always bother her, so I take on the task of cutting her nails regularly.
Just as I was about to go into the house to get the scissors, my mother said, "I'd better soak it first, otherwise it won't be too hard to cut." Then she said, "Hey, you're here just in time. I'll take a bath, and then
Then cut your nails." I said, "Then I'll take you out to take a bath. Go to the bathing center to soak and steam your nails." Mom waved her hands and said, "I won't go. How much will it cost? It's fine to wash it at home."
. Come on, help me, I'll be safe." Mom was very strong, shivering, washing her hair and wiping herself, and wouldn't let me go in to help. She just asked me to wait at the door and listen to her call at any time.
Later, I went in and helped her rub her back, arms and thighs. If I wanted to do more, she wouldn't let me go and urged me to leave the bathroom.
After washing, the bathing goddess was immediately wrapped in a big towel by her father. He also urged her to lie down on the bed, saying that the electric blanket had been plugged in.
My mother struggled to dry herself off and quickly put on new clothes. She said, "I won't lie down anymore. It's not that cold. I have to ask my eldest daughter to help me cut my nails. Please help me put on the clothes I changed."
Let’s wash it.” Dad responded and picked up the clothes to wash.
Mom was like a pampered little girl, and said with a smile: "Now it's your dad who does my laundry." After that, we got into position: Mom was sitting on the sofa, I was sitting on the small stool opposite her, my legs were
She laid a towel on the bed and placed her feet on it, then began to trim her nails in earnest.
Mom kept chatting to me about home affairs without saying a word, with a smile on her face all the time.
Looking back on that scene now, I feel so warm and happy.
After getting my nails done, my dad also cleaned up the kitchen and washed the clothes. The three of us watched the TV series "The Age of Awakening" together. My dad and I exchanged scenes and characters in the show. This is something that my dad and mom can't communicate with each other. I have to continue.
Satisfy dad's spiritual needs.
Mom stood by and looked at us with a smile, and said from time to time: "It feels so good after taking a bath", "My hair is so slippery", "It feels so easy after cutting my nails"... After watching one episode, Dad again
Said: "Have you read the two books of "Cao Cao" I took away for you? They are so well written that I was fascinated by them. You can pick up the remaining books at any time. This Wang Xiaolei also wrote "Wu Zetian", etc.
You can buy a set for me if you have time." I said, "No need to spare time, I will buy it for you now. There are activities on March 8th today." After placing the order, my father asked how much it cost, and I told him.
There is no need to pay, I support and am satisfied with his reading.
Before the next episode started, my dad came out of the back room, gave me the money, and secretly said to me: "You buy me tea and books of good quality. Dad gives me money, just don't let your mother know."
It doesn’t matter how much you spend.” Hahaha, I snickered in my heart, lovely dad.
My father is 88 years old this year, with a strong body and a clear mind. After my mother became weak, my father, who had been taken care of by her all her life, began to do housework, learn new life skills, and at the same time continue to read and write.
It’s really a good example for me to learn from.
After my parents were settled, I was ready to say goodbye and asked them if they were happy.
Parents rushed to say: "Happy, we are happy when you are here. There is no need to celebrate any special festivals." Well, what parents care about is not the form of the festival, but the company of their children and the satisfaction of their inner needs.
I drove to Central Street, ready to go shopping and satisfy my holiday needs. I also waited for Mr. Fu to have a meal with him after get off work to celebrate.
