Things about village flowers

I couldn't watch Ling Liping perform tonight. Unexpectedly, at 5pm, my three aunts in the northeast, along with my uncle's children and three families of more than ten people, came to my house. They took a bus to the county town and stayed at my house tonight. They would go back to their hometown to visit their grandparents tomorrow. I have four aunts in total. Except for the third aunt who is at home (in this county), the eldest aunt, the second aunt and the fourth aunt are all in the northeast.

This caught me off guard. My parents hadn't gotten off work yet. After I settled them at home, I went to the county women's federation to inform my mother. My mother then called my father. My parents were surprised and very happy, especially my father, who said he would go home early to cook for himself. We haven't seen each other for many years, at least ten years, and each family has changed a lot.

My mother went home with me to greet them first, and then went to the vegetable market with me. With so many people coming, they naturally had to buy a lot, and my mother definitely couldn't carry it alone. Fortunately, I brought back a lot of vegetables from my hometown today. But I still pushed my bike, otherwise I would definitely not be able to get it.

As soon as I left the house, I rode my bike with my mother. It was getting late, so we had to hurry up and go early and come back early. If we went late, there would be less things to buy in the market, less room for selection, and many things would not be fresh.

To go to the vegetable market, we had to pass the county theater. It was almost half past five, and it was estimated that Ling Liping and other actors from the art troupe had not arrived yet, but I still deliberately rode slowly and looked at the theater a few more times. My mother noticed it, raised her hand and patted my back, and said with a smile, "Hehe, why don't we stop the car and go in to take a look?"

I knew my mother was teasing me. She was an actress and had performed in this theater countless times, so she naturally knew when the actors would enter the stage. Why not give in to her and see how she reacted, so I said:

"Okay, I'll stop the car now, mom, you get off slowly." I said, deliberately pretending to stop the car.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't, don't stop the car!" Mother quickly grabbed my arm and said, "I just said it casually, you took it seriously! Liping and the others can't come so early, they haven't even had dinner yet."

"Okay!" I said, pedaling the bike forward, sighing, "Oh~~ It's a coincidence, the girls didn't come earlier or later, but they came at this time, delaying us from seeing Ling Liping, this is a once-in-a-century opportunity!"

"Hehe, it's not that exaggerated!" Mother held my waist and laughed, "Ling Liping will definitely perform here in the future. She is now the pillar of the art troupe. This girl is really not simple. She has only been in the troupe for a short time, and she has become a major actor. Back then, your mother and I struggled for several years to become successful."

"Haha, mom, back then, my dad supported you a lot, right?" I asked with a smile.

“No, no!” my mother said quickly, “He wanted to support me, but he didn’t have the time! He was busy from morning till night, just like you, bored. Every time I finished my performance, he might not have finished his work, so he didn’t support me. He said he would pick me up several times, but it was all in vain. I stood there like a fool, waiting for a long time, but no one showed up. It was too late.I was so scared that I simply stopped waiting and returned to the troupe alone. I felt very wronged at the time and walked to the dormitory with tears in my eyes.

"Wow," I deliberately exclaimed, "So miserable! Haha."

"Hey," my mother hugged my waist with both hands and said, "It's open (it's quite miserable)! But later I got used to it. Every time he said he would pick me up, I just agreed and didn't take it seriously. After the performance was over, I followed the crowd and went back to the troupe. Hey, you don't say, he really went to pick me up twice, but he was half a beat late and picked up nothing. After he told me, I immediately laughed deliberately. It was also a kind of revenge or punishment for him. It's not my fault. It's your fault first. You always break your promise. From then on, if your father is not sure to pick me up, try not to make empty promises. But I learned my lesson! Haha. ”

“Mom,” I sighed as I watched my mother’s arms tightly around my waist (she wouldn’t mistakenly think she was hugging my father’s waist, would she?), “I suddenly felt that you were so romantic and warm at that time!”

“Hehe, it’s quite interesting to think about it now!” my mother laughed. Then her arms suddenly loosened. Could it be that she woke up and returned to reality?

“Ah!” I raised my head and shouted, “Who doesn’t miss those passionate years!”

“Hehe,” my mother patted my back and laughed, “What you said is very similar to the lines in a drama I performed in the past.”

“Alas~~ What a pity,” I sighed, “I haven’t seen the drama you performed, and there is no video recording. It must be very touching and exciting, right? ”

“Well,” my mother replied, “the audience’s comments are not bad. Some people have watched it twice. I was very moved. Actors pay the most attention to the audience’s response. Hearing good feedback is more exciting than eating a big meal.”

“Mom, then, what if, I hear bad reactions?” I asked.

“I haven’t heard this before.” said my mother.

I paused and said, “In fact, unpleasant words are beneficial to action. It is rare to hear criticism. This is better than always hearing good words, or even flattering words. Mom, do you think I am right?”

“Yes, yes, yes!” My mother said repeatedly, “”Absolutely correct, some criticisms are people’s sincere help to you, which is more conducive to your development than those good words. Son, you have made progress and matured, hehe.”

“Isn’t this all the result of your and my father’s training and education! Hahaha..." I burst into laughter.

"You are getting more and more cunning, kid! Hehe..." Mother patted my back again and laughed.

We went to the vegetable market in unison.
