A person's life

Xiao Xia, my mother lives alone now, and it feels pretty good. The heart is rich and amorous, while the flow of life is simple and monotonous, and Mom feels that this is a perfect and complementary combination.

Mom's life now is mainly divided into two parts: work and rest, and most of the time is spent alone.

Yesterday you asked your mother why she went to work, and she told you at the time that I liked to go to work. That's what my mother said.

Mom likes to work, likes to feel at ease with the affairs of the moment, and also likes to polish her personality when she has experienced ups and downs and difficulties. Work provides an opportunity for mothers to immerse themselves in a project or a problem, to try to move things forward, and to try to solve problems. Whether this process leads to success or failure, as long as the mother does her best, it can bring a sense of accomplishment to the mother in the end.

That feeling is like being a rubber band, every time before it breaks, it has undergone elastic tempering and upgrading, and after everything has passed, I will feel very powerful and tough, which is the source of my mother's sense of achievement.

Mom has to work five days a week. Go to the company in the morning, eat at the company at noon, and come back in the evening. On Saturdays and Sundays, I will stay at home and rest.

As the head of a team in the department, Mom's working hours are flexible, and if she is willful, she can say that she can go whenever she wants, and go home whenever she wants.

But just like my mother just said, my mother likes to work, and at the same time, as a team leader, my mother also hopes to spread the mentality that she likes to work to her team members, so my mother works and gets off work at the same time every day like everyone else.

When Natsu starts kindergarten, she should have a similar schedule as her mother. Because when my mother is at work, she will work with her colleagues to discuss and solve problems one by one. Many times a day, people gather together to show what is difficult or what needs to be done, and brainstorm ideas.

Xiaoxia, after you go to kindergarten, in addition to studying every day, there will be a lot of problems in kindergarten that you and your friends need to solve together, and you need to get together to discuss and figure out a way together. At this time, you go to kindergarten and your mother goes to work, but you are actually doing the same thing.

In the past, mom and dad went to work together. Dad drove and Mom sat in the car. Mom and Dad didn't talk much on the road, Mom was a complaining bag at the time, and Dad was an unwilling partner.

When I went to work, my mother and father hardly communicated with each other, because we seemed to be representatives of the Conservative Party and the Radical Party, respectively, and had completely opposite political views. Not only that, but each side wants to seize power and conquer both camps.

From the mother's point of view, the mother's desire to conquer the father is full of arrogance. This desire is not even very strong because he despises his opponent too much, because my mother does not take him seriously, and he has never been an opponent I have ever certified.

This emotional-sounding description is actually unemotional, just a calm narrative of the history of having both a father and a mother at the same time. Looking at such words, my mother felt that sudden realization hit again, and let me see the many and incompatible places between me and my father.

At that time, when I got home from work, my father began his routine, playing games and the like, one by one, and filled the night with loneliness. And mom too, has her own set, which is carried out separately and is boring and trivial.

Day after day, until it was completely shattered.

Now, my mom has moved, and life is the same but different.

Every day, my mother would walk a short distance to work, about twenty minutes or so. These days are in the middle of summer and early autumn in the north, the air humidity is very high, every time I walk to the station, the hair curls on my mother's head are gone, each one has returned to the original long straight hair, and the clothes on her body are also attached to her legs and back.

In the humid air, walking this sweaty road, my mother was surprised and detached, and felt very relaxed. It was as if every step was walking from the moon to the earth, gradually regaining gravity. I started walking lightly, and I started walking as if I was still asleep, and when I arrived at the station, I had completely woken up, my whole body was heavy, and my hair had absorbed enough moisture and became straight. Mom feels that this road has now become her own meditation path, and when she walks on it, Mom only walks in the present.

When I was working in the company, my mother no longer had any intersection or communication with my father. The weird, bad, and interesting ideas that I had in my head before were all wilted like bean seedlings that no one watered. Mom didn't find anyone to vent her opinions, she didn't find anyone to share her quirky ideas, and later, Mom found out that she wasn't quirky anymore. That's it.

When I got off work, my mother was always very energetic, and most of the people in the car slept crookedly, but my mother's eyes were always wide open, and her mind was thinking about everything. When I got out of the car and walked the way home, I arrived home before I knew it, and I never felt far.

Mom used to cook very little at home with Dad. The housekeeper in Dad's wish, Mom has never done. We used to eat out, but my mom didn't like to eat noodles with him every day. So in life, when it comes to food, everyone is agreeing with each other.

After moving, my mother would make a glass of vegetable juice every morning, and at noon in the company, my mother would not eat much, and when I got home, my mother would cook a very simple meal and eat very little.

Now my mother feels that she lives and eats as she pleases. It's a little strange because my mother also eats noodles a lot, but the feeling of resistance in my heart is gone.

After work, Mom will sit alone at the workbench like Dad used to do at home, whether it is painting, reading books, tinkering with small objects at home, or making some crafts by herself.

This weekend, Mom might find a place nearby, cut her hair short, and then iron her clothes at home, listen to music, and cut off the yellow leaves that pop up from the countless potted plants on the balcony. In the evening, there is a chance that you will go out and wholesale some popsicles to eat.

Xiao Xia, my mother lives alone now. In the past, my mother felt lonely or scared when she lived alone, but this feeling was not swept away, and last night my mother left an extra lamp to sleep for no reason. Living alone, there are also many advantages of calm and leisure, you can do whatever you want, neat and comfortable, and the notes are floating everywhere.

Xiao Xia, living alone, is also very good, no worse than many people living together, many times, even better.
