Article 6: My mother

? My mother has a typical Aquarius funny disorderly thinking. Strictly speaking, her birthday belongs to the dividing line between Aquarius and Pisces. From the astrological point of view, to determine which constellation she is, birth correction is needed. But it doesn't matter. As early as one day in the late autumn of 1990, she officially announced that she was a standard Aquarius! At that time, I just went to primary school, and my literacy was limited, but I fell in love with the 12 constellation. When I asked my mother for new words with my star card, she made an in-depth study of the characteristics of each constellation, fully weighed the pros and cons, and finally made the above choice.

The typical Aquarius is not keen on dressing up, so I once judged that she was a fake Aquarius and should be a smelly Pisces in essence. At that time, although we lived in the suburbs of Shanghai, in the eyes of friends and neighbors, we didn't belong to Shanghai, and the greetings every day were quite interesting: I heard that you were going to Shanghai and brought me back two pounds of cashmere to make a sweater; I went to Shanghai to see a movie yesterday and bought my son a cold drink. His lips are trembling. It seems that Shanghai in our eyes refers to a few occupied leased land. Every time my mother goes to Shanghai, she can't help but buy it at buy buy. There was a shortage of materials at that time, and everyone's salary was the same. Even if my father made an exception and mentioned regular wages long ago, he could not control the powerful aura of a prodigal bitch. I remember one June 1 on the eve of Children's Day, my mother took me to buy a small dress for a kindergarten performance. As a result, we strolled from Nanjing Road to Huaihai Road and walked the whole Sichuan Road, and received two bags of children's clothes. However, I didn't attend the later performance, and I had a high fever for three days because of fatigue. I went to the hospital in a small dress to hang a drip. As for my mother's pursuit of beauty, her colleague Li Jinmei can also prove it: I remember that time we went to Shanghai (and Shanghai) to attend the training organized by our company. As a chemical warehouse manager, we should take part in dangerous work. As a result, your mother lost her head and was half an hour late!

Now my mother is almost 60, and she still maintains the momentum of decades ago. She also brushes Taobao Vipshop and so on, and sometimes points to one of them and tells me, look, the quality of this embroidered dragon bat sweater is incomparable with the one I wore 30 years ago! It's true. At that time, her wavy hair with tight feet pants and prominent pink golden dragon sweater was indeed the retro standard of today's floret.

Mother's personality is quite complicated. Although she does have a little Pisces nervousness sometimes, more often, her pursuit of life is full of unique rationality. My mother likes watching Korean dramas, and she doesn't want to be fascinated by people like Lee MinHo. At that time, someone was broadcasting, and I found that my mother was following the play at an amazing speed. For example, an ordinary person can watch at most 20 episodes a day, but she can watch three episodes without leaving the focus of climax. I am shocked by this. It was not until later that I discovered that the logical line of my mother's watching Korean dramas was very incomparable. Take 20 episodes of Korean dramas as an example: she watched 1 and 2 episodes first, then 10 episode, then the finale and the penultimate episode. If there is something she can't understand in the middle, she quickly looked back at episode 7.8! In her words, from episode 10 to the finale, you don't need to watch it at all, it's just a memory! You can watch the third to seventh episodes, when the supporting actors are all on the stage! I was once deeply impressed by my mother's wisdom!

? From the perspective of life observation, mother is worthy of Aquarius' rational grace, but she often changes this rationality into moving moments to express it. Once I was going to throw away a pair of worn leather shoes. My mother saw it and always blamed me for wasting it, insisting on wearing this pair of shoes herself. I said half jokingly that shoes are homophonic with evil, and wearing someone else's old shoes will bring that person's misfortune. Mom blinked in surprise: then you bring it to me, and you won't be unlucky! What she said is well-founded, of course, but my heart is shaking.

Maybe there are thousands of styles of maternal love in the world, and maybe there are thousands of constellations that can't tell the style, but this one of my mother is really special. I remember the first book she bought me when I was a child, Andersen's Fairy Tales. Although she is probably a indecisive Pisces, she didn't choose a routine Grimm's fairy tale for me. There is no denying that Andersen is really profound to preschool children, but it is precisely because my mother has unspeakable confidence in me. I still remember that she took me to school every day for convenience. She learned to ride a bike by herself at the edge of the field. I was so happy when she fell, because she also imitated the funny movie when she fell.

When you grow up, the constellation says there are signs of trouble. I once told her that it would become 13 constellation in the future, and then you would be Capricorn. Mother rolled her eyes and let him go. Anyway, I am Aquarius! Haha, why do you love Aquarius so much? Fool, because you are Aquarius.

I just want to be like you.
