Chapter 1660: Not Needed for My Good (Twenty-Nine)
"University for the Elderly?"
An's mother was stunned, and immediately became a little embarrassed: "I, I'm a graduate of a prestigious university!"
And also a college student in the nineties.
At that time, the college students, how high the gold content was, the real thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge.
Everyone who can be admitted to a university, especially a major university, is the top student among the top students, the elite among the elite.
But, how can you let your daughter say this, she is a high-ranking intellectual, and she has become an illiterate middle-aged woman who needs to go to some kind of old university?!
"Mom, Elena, remember, my roommate, my good friend in Paris, the guy who just called me!"
Anne didn't seem to feel her mother's resentment, and said lightly, "She is English, and her mother is a well-known lawyer, and after she retired, she began to study ballet. Some time ago, they were on their local talent show!"
Speaking of this, Anne glanced at An's mother, with an obvious "hatred of iron does not make steel" in her eyes.
"Mom, I don't expect you to learn elegant art like Anna's mother, but I hope you are a little self-motivated, even if you learn a national dance, or a national ballroom dance, it is better than square dancing with a group of vegetable market aunts. ”
"Mom, you also surf the Internet all day long, you should know how bad the reputation of the words 'square dance aunt' is on the Internet!"
"It's okay in the past, but now our family is different. I was nominated for the Golden Lion Award, and soon I will be world-famous, and when the time comes, the media will come to our house for interviews, and people will definitely ask you and my dad in addition to me. What are your hobbies, and what do you understand and pursue in art?"
"How do you answer? Do you want to tell other reporters that you don't know anything about Swan Lake, and you can only dance a small apple?"
Anne's tone was unhurried, but the contempt contained in it was very obvious.
Mother: ......
She instinctively wanted to reprimand: Okay, you are a dead child, you have grown up and your wings are stiff, and you dare to count your mother?!
But her mouth opened and closed, and she couldn't say the words she hung on her lips every day.
Because she has a weak heart, and even a little timid!
Especially when she heard her daughter mention "someone else's mother", she was even more inexplicably ashamed.
Yes, they are all mothers, but other people's mothers are learning ballet and going on TV, which is really saving face for their children.
And what about her?!
Well, although I don't want to admit it in my heart, An's mother must say that it is also "dancing", but there is really no comparison between square dance and ballet.
Especially in recent years, with the exposure on the Internet, what disturbs the people with loudspeakers, what occupies basketball courts, underground garages, all kinds of strange things, so that the words "square dance aunt" have become derogatory.
When many netizens mention these words, their first reaction is that they are unreasonable and unqualified.
But An's mother has always boasted of being a cultured and high-quality intellectual, and when she danced the square dance in the past, she didn't feel anything, but now she was told by her daughter, and she actually felt embarrassed!
"Mom, I know, you're retired, and you usually have nothing to do. But you don't have to dance any square dance, it's better to go to the University for the Elderly, where there are all high-quality seniors, everyone can get together to dance, sing, and paint, and still pass the time!"
"Mom, since I was a child, you have taught me, 'those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black', don't play with people who can't keep up, because it's not easy to learn well, and it's fast to learn bad!"
"Mom, haven't you noticed it yourself? Since you danced the square dance, your dress, your speech and demeanor, are not the same as before. Well, it's far less classy and stylish than in the past, but more like those aunts who squeeze their heads with young people to snap up special eggs!"
"Mom, that's a dangerous sign. You have to be vigilant! Although we are retired, we still have a long way to go, and we can't just give up on ourselves!"
On the way to the hospital, Anne babbled.
In every word, she said it from the bottom of her heart, and even put on a posture of "for your good".
Mother Ann wanted to refute, but she had nothing to say.
Because my daughter is telling the truth.
The more An's mother listened, the more weak her heart became, and she didn't notice for a while that her daughter's words seemed familiar.
For more than 20 years, she has been talking about it a lot.
The only difference is that the object of preaching has changed from a daughter to herself!
“...... Okay, I-I know, I-I'll take care of it!"
An's mother was a little annoyed when she heard it, but she couldn't refute it stiffly, so she just responded perfunctorily.
"Mom, what kind of attitude do you have? I said all this for you. Other people's mothers, I'm too lazy to talk about it. ”
"You're my own mother, that's why I'm risking being annoying to tell you these ......"
Anne saw Ann's mother's impatience, so she pretended to be aggrieved and said.
Mother: ......
"Like Elena's mother, you don't need to be staring at Elena, people are positive. What if people are old? Our great man also said that he will live and learn until he is old!"
"Mom, I still have a few friends, and they all come from artistic families. The elders in the family, even if they are old, will not completely give up their higher-level pursuits. ”
"Studying music, learning a foreign language, even if it's a trip, it's a very tasteful thing. ”
"Mom, square dancing is really low, I'm embarrassed to tell others. Oh, when friends get together, everyone else is saying that my mom is in a choir at the Royal Theatre, and I say, what is my mom dancing the most dazzling folk style?!"
"Mom, now our family is really different, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about it for me. ”
"Besides, I say that, and it's not for you in the end......"
Anne began to speak tirades again.
While comparing the parents of "other people's families" with her own parents, she counted her own mother's various unmotivated.
Envy and disappointment, those words were like thorns that pierced into An's mother's heart.
Mother Ann became more and more ashamed!
Just when An's mother was about to take it anymore and was about to break out, the hospital finally arrived.
Anne also stopped, her words and deeds were elegant, generous, and full of confidence and publicity unique to an artist.
Seeing such a somewhat strange daughter, An's mother reprimanded her stomach and disappeared again.
The daughter said so much, An's mother recognized one sentence the most: her daughter is different, she is no longer the ordinary girl who needs to be taken care of by her parents in the past, but a great painter who is about to become famous all over the world!
's daughter has become a celebrity, standing at a height that many people can't reach in their lifetime, and elders like An's mother are no longer able to make all kinds of arrangements and control over her as in the past.
Of course, not everyone has such an awareness, for example, at this moment, a middle-aged woman who is sitting next to An's father's bedside is still talking endlessly......
