Chapter 257: Spicy Mother and Daughter (10)

(10) In front of the mother

Since I left home in high school, I was very afraid that my mother would appear in front of me, which meant that I was in trouble again.

So much so that sometimes when my mother appeared in front of me, I would say, "Why do you keep following me?" I know that I brought on myself to bring on the disaster, but only my mother in this world can bear such a complaint from me, and only she will not take revenge on me for being unreasonable.

I had to act in front of everyone, including my husband. Only in front of my mother can I do whatever I want, because before I was three years old, when I had no memory, it was my mother who watched over me when I could have been killed with a handkerchief or a single negligence.

Yesterday, it was reported in the newspaper that the mother who casually put her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter on the windowsill on the third floor of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, and as a result, her daughter fell to death and claimed 320,000 yuan from the hospital.

It is not inevitable that everyone will be born, survive, and grow up. I have been hospitalized three times in 40 years, and the only one who has taken care of me is my mother, during which I have been visited by my father, younger brother, younger sister, cousin Qing, Fangmei's mother-in-law (my mother's old classmate), and a friend and a colleague. That's all.

Last time, my aunt drove me to pick me up from the hospital with my husband. Zhenzhen took advantage of her grandmother's 94th birthday to invite me to dinner as a celebration, and said: Next time, next time I will definitely go to the hospital to visit you!

Liangjie's hospitalization was typhoid fever, Yunhong's hospitalization was also an infectious disease, Leping was cerebellar poisoning, Cousin Qing was injured by students, and Bing was in a car accident...... I didn't get infected by visiting every day, nor did I alleviate the pain of others or save the lives that were lost.

So from the day I heard that I would say next time, I decided that I would never visit patients in the hospital again, except for people who had visited me before.

Because when Zhenzhen said that, it was on East Chang'an Street, facing the original unit where she and her husband had worked together, and she didn't dare to stand in that place without me beside her. From the Spring Festival this year, I should say "ex-husband", 10 years after my husband's death, she has received a new marriage certificate, she is two years older than me.

I was still waiting to drink the wedding wine, but she called and asked: Is Shenhuo shares for sale or keep them and wait for ten to get five free?

Compared with the birth, old age, sickness and death that we have to face, what is the battle of all words and tongues for people and things?

Please don't try to be my mom -- mom plus homeroom teacher! I've really seen the ups and downs of 800 years.
