A friend on WeChat said: I have a gift for you for Christmas.
My first reaction was: it must be spent. Later, my friend replied: It's definitely not a flower, because it's called a gift because it can't be guessed.
Yes, it is because you can't guess, so people look forward to it, and life is the same.
There are all kinds of coincidences to meet a person, and such a coincidence might be a thermos in a flea market.
Jane, who was financially strapped, wanted to change the style of the house, so she went to the flea market to buy things. Bought that thermos from old granny Sadie and just wanted to use it as a vase. But the surprise is that this "vase" is full of dollars. A full 10 bundles, a total of 10,000 US dollars. At that time, $10,000 was enough for a down payment on a house. So it's not a small amount.
Jane was tangled in her heart: To pay or not to pay, it is really a question. As a result, she silently hid the money. But involuntarily, he began to pay close attention to this completely unfamiliar grandmother. She tried to knock on Sadie's door with a hot water bottle, but she hesitated because she didn't know how to return it, and was turned away by Sadie.
Afterwards, Jane deliberately created an opportunity to pay for the taxi to pick up Sadie, and took this chance to pick up the old grandma. In such a seemingly coincidental way, Jane abruptly entered Sadie's house and began to look around the old grandma's family. She is judging whether the grandmother is really short of money, and if she is not short of money, can she feel more at ease taking her money.
Originally, I wanted to explore the life of an old grandmother, but who knew that she would walk into Sadie's life so quietly and unknowingly. This kind of friendship is not so smooth. Because Sadie, who has lived alone for decades, is already used to being alone. Suddenly there is a young and beautiful female friend, and I don't like it that much. But Sadie, who is delicate in her heart, was also moved a little by this kind, persistent and impulsive girl, until she finally trusted her unconditionally.
At the end of the film, there is no such thing as Jane confessing money to her grandmother after her inner struggle. But the old grandmother was so calm that she listened to the whistleblower from the young girl's friend who turned against her, and then continued to slowly organize her luggage for going to Paris with Jane.
And when Jane, at the request of her grandmother Sadie, dropped another bouquet of flowers to her husband's grave on the way to the airport. Jane was stunned by the two tombstones that appeared in front of her. One tombstone reads: FRANK PERKINS (Loving Husband and Father 1920-1971), the other reads: SARAH PERKINS (Beloved Daughter 1951-1969). It was only then that she learned that grandma Sadie had a daughter, and she died a year earlier than her own husband.
How did the grandma go through such a painful period all these years? Just one person, waiting for such a small house and such a small garden. The garden is filled with grandma's favorite "Morning Glory" (Morning Glory). Perhaps it also indicates that the good life of the grandmother is so short, just like the morning glory, it always blooms beautifully in the morning, and slowly withers after noon.
But after meeting Jane, her life seems to have a lot of expectations. For example, you can take the first-class cabin with Jane to the France that you have always dreamed of, pass the Arc de Triomphe, see the Eiffel Tower in the strong sunlight in the afternoon, and then stroll on the Champs Elysees in the evening.
Everything Jane did to her grandmother had already made her see her as a daughter, so how could she care about why she approached her in the first place?
This year-old friendship between Jane and grandma Sadie has to remind me of an encounter with a grandfather. There are also so many coincidences that I slowly got to know him. One day, the aunt who took care of him said to me: You know what? Grandpa said: Now he can't leave you. Because of you, he doesn't recall the nightmarish memories of the past so much, and then slowly becomes less depressed and more cheerful.
Later, I also said to my grandfather: If you look for someone according to your standard, grandpa, it is estimated that in this world, apart from my father, there is no other person who pampers and loves me as much as you do.
Just like Jane, I also want to take my grandpa to where he wants to go. Take advantage of his good health, take advantage of the time when he still has the heart to think about completing it. Sometimes I said to my grandfather with emotion: Why did I meet you when I was so displaced, making me feel helpless and anxious that you could not save you.
Now I slowly understand that there are thousands of ways for everyone to meet. Sometimes, don't guess what will happen after the encounter, living in the present is a gift, so even if "Present" means "now", it is also " "gift" means.
Did you realize it? Because you can't guess it, it's called a gift, and it's also called life.
