My husband went to other places for business training, and my mother-in-law came to the city to accompany me from her home in the countryside.
When I was tidying up my desk, I saw two tickets for that day’s play in the book.
I then remembered that this was a ticket issued by the previous unit to enrich the part-time cultural life of the workers. There were many quyi artists performing in this play, among which a generation of Jingyun dagu master Luo Yusheng’s closed disciple Feng Xinrui sang Jingyun dagu “Baoyu sigh Qingwen” and “Revitalize the mountains and the river to be later life”.
I thought to myself, might as well call my mother-in-law to see it.
I said to my mother-in-law: “Nothing, let’s go to see a play!”
When she heard this, her mother-in-law froze for a moment and said, “What play?
Just watch TV now, and watch plays. What a waste of money!”
I smiled and said: “This is the unit hair, don’t money, don’t go to see just waste it.”
The mother-in-law heard this, this just nodded and said: “Can’t waste!
Listen to your daughter-in-law, let’s go and follow the fashion and see a play!”
This play, mother-in-law watched particularly grand.
When I went out, I saw my mother-in-law put on the sweater that I bought for her during the Chinese New Year. She also went through the closet and took out the leather shoe oil, and brushed the shoes I gave her the day before yesterday.
Seeing this, I couldn’t help smiling and said, “I’ll just go to see a play.
Besides, who should be dressed so neatly in the dark after the theatre?”
However, the mother-in-law did not listen to me, or dressed herself.
After waiting for her mother-in-law to dress neatly, we went out.
When we sat down in the theatre box, the waiter brought us a warm kettle and two cups of green tea.
Without waiting for my mother-in-law to ask, I told her that tea was free and that it was fashionable to enjoy the opera while tasting tea.
My mother-in-law saw me let her drink tea, or could not help but ask me: “This play down, more than two hours?
How can I stand drinking tea without going to the toilet?”
I said, “It’s okay. Is there a bathroom here anyway?”
The mother-in-law was relieved.
After two hours of play, the mother-in-law drank most of the water in the hot pot, but she was so happy that she forgot to go to the bathroom.
This MATTER IN the past a good period of time, later I return home, to the neighbor’s time to sit idle, hear the neighbor kua me: “good nizi, so know to take your mother-in-law to enjoy.
I hear you took your mother-in-law to the grand theater when she was in town.
When your mother-in-law comes back, she still praises the grand theater in town.
Next time we’re in town, you’ll take us there.”
Later, I met several good sisters of my mother-in-law, and heard from them that my mother-in-law was boasting about “going to town to see a play”.
I realized then that what seemed so common to me was so important to my mother-in-law.
I then remembered that, in fact, for so many years, every time my mother-in-law came to the city, she just walked around my home at most. Everything in the city became more and more strange to her.
The leisure ways we are used to, such as singing KTV, going to bars and watching plays, are new and unprecedented in the eyes of my mother-in-law, who is used to living in the countryside.
I decided that in the future I would take my mother-in-law not only to the theatre more often, but also to experience things she had never tried before.
I think the mother-in-law should be able to have more to talk about to her sisters “show off”!
