Slow down, it will leave a lot of regrets

On the road of a light life, I keep walking

according to the fierce methods of ordinary movies. This conflict-filled film will be very noisy.
Fortunately, this one is not, life is not a movie, it is often very quiet, even if the dark tide is sometimes turbulent.

1 The older
brother comes to a family gathering in memory of his older brother, and the dead are always the most perfect.
As the second child said, people don't necessarily grow up as you imagined. If my brother was there, maybe he wouldn't be a doctor.

He inherited his father's hospital, and he was most popular with girls as a child. Even if he dies, his wife will be affectionately mentioned by his family.

The living can never compare to the good man who died.
So when I was a child, the person who cleared the siege with fried corn was also called my brother by my mother.

2 Mom

As my sister said, Mom is a person who seems to be living happily.
Indeed, a housewife who has never worked in her life, she is indeed very polite, cooks good dishes, and speaks lightly and cheerfully.

But she's also a wise woman, and everyone the wife says has a secret song of her own.
That record that mom took out, that song.
Husband asked when she bought it.
She said: When the second child was a child, I carried him to that woman's house, and I heard your singing coming from there. I didn't enter the door, and I bought this record the next day when I came back.
Then she kept playing it to herself, without mentioning anything, and lived a peaceful life.

The tears without commemoration in the play seem to have faded over time, and the sadness has gradually faded.
Actually no, the second child asked his mother: How about not asking the person who was saved by the big brother to come over next year? He seemed distressed to see us.
Mom said: That's why I'm going to invite him, only when you have someone to hate, you won't be so sad, so I'm going to invite him over every year.
She didn't forget, did she? Chasing the old yellow mother, always missing her child.
There is no hysterical crying, it does not mean that there is no missing, it does not mean that there is no sadness.

3 Dads
Every family has a weird dad.
If you don’t talk much, it will be awkward to be alone with your child. You don’t know what to say, but you can only talk a few words about work.

He tells his son to call his mother more often and ask her to hear your voice.
I asked my son if his job as an oil painting doctor can guarantee his life.

This father also has a childish side. He complained: It is obviously the house that I worked hard to build, so why does it only say that it is my grandmother's house.

4 The second child of the oil painting doctor

said that he did not want to go home, and there was no common topic. In fact, before he returned home, he told his wife that he would not talk about his work with his parents.
Zhi told him that if he repaired the oil painting again, he was considered an oil painting doctor.

As a child he wrote an essay about his desire to be a doctor.
When his sister read it out, he immediately snatched it away, kneaded it into a ball, and finally took it out secretly and glued it with tape.


5 Sons
are very good sons, who often observe adults from the perspective of children.

When talking to grandpa about his ideals, when it comes to the tuner, he said it was because he liked his music teacher, but he didn't mention his father.

When he was with the children, when he was asked what he called the second uncle, he said, "Dad, just like you."
Although he kept calling his name.

In the evening, I talked to my father in heaven: I participated in the relay race this summer. In the future, I will be a piano tuner as good as my father. If not, I will become a doctor.

Has the second uncle's doctor wished him to come to help fulfill it? Or the grandfather's heir wish?
He has accepted this family.

6 The wife
is very sensitive, saying that the mother has been treating the child as a guest all day, and bought pajamas for the second uncle, but not for the child.
But when her mother called her, she still hid her tears.

7 parting
At the end, the parents saw them off. When they left, the father and mother walked back and said to the mother: They will come back during the Chinese New Year.
In the car here, the second uncle said to his wife: I won't go back during the Chinese New Year, once a year is enough. But still looked back to the direction of his hometown twice.
And the name of the sumo wrestler that both mother and uncle remembered after parting. He told his wife that he was slow, and that it was no longer important for his mother to say his name to his father.

Three years later, when my parents died one after another, my second uncle said: I have never had the opportunity to watch a football game with my father, nor have I ever had the opportunity to drive my mother to buy vegetables.



Life goes on and on and on, but sometimes, if you slow down, you will leave a lot of regrets.
