Hello, hello everyone, I am wontons, recently I especially like to watch family dramas about family affection, such as "In the Name of Family", and "Thirty Only" that involves the life of husband and wife, and I also have a certain understanding of how to run a good family.
I believe that everyone has a time to feel troubled by family trivialities, today to tell you the story of a small couple who have been together for a lifetime, and their little couple, like most ordinary people, get married and have children and become old.
There is no story of ups and downs, but they have never abandoned, loved only one person in their lives, and lived a fairytale-like beauty, and they couldn't help but burst into tears after watching it.
In London in 1928, ten years after the end of world war, Ernest was a cheerful and optimistic working-class young man who passed by a building one day on a bicycle.
One of the high-society maids, Ethel, happened to be inadvertently shaking ash at the window, and Ernest mistakenly thought that Ethel was greeting him, so he happily took off his hat in return.
This is probably a self-inflicted sentimentality that many young men will have when they meet their favorite objects, and there is no doubt that Ernest is one of the few who has taken the luck.
Over the next few days, they waited to greet each other, and like most of us, Ernest, as a boy, took the initiative to bring flowers to the door.
Later, they naturally began to date and watch movies, meet parents, take out loans to buy houses, and get married.
At first their house did not even have curtains, but slowly, little by little, they filled the house and the home was slowly built.
Ernest reads the newspaper, Ethel grows flowers; Ernest goes to work to deliver milk, Ethel mops the floor to do housework; Ernest is good at repairing furniture, Ethel can sew and mend, these are all small times of daily life.
Ernest always made some small fortune for Searle, sending flowers and making birthday cards on his birthday, and the two often rode their bicycles together on outings.
When the war broke out, Ernest did not forget to paint the shock cage in the home with the color of the furniture, because Ethel liked to decorate the home with great taste.
When Ernest saw that others earned more than himself, and even his son's salary a day was more than his own week, Ethel would take the initiative to reassure him, "Everyone has a job that suits them, and there is no need to compare." ”
They also disagreed, with Ethel being a Conservative supporter and her gentleman Churchill; ernest being a worker, and he supported The Labour Party.
Ernest also had the opportunity to have an affair, and a patron looked at him, and seeing this pie falling from the sky, Ernest left in embarrassment.
They also have the troubles of every parent, Ethel is older to give birth, the dream of wanting a big family to live in a big house can not be realized, fortunately, they have a lovely son.
The son is cute and sensible, but the child also has a time to run into trouble.
When the son was adolescence, he began to be tired of his mother's nagging, and the son was smart, admitted to grammar school, and obviously could go to a prestigious school to find a serious job, but chose to study art.
Ethel wanted his son to get married in church, but the son did not invite his parents to sign the newspaper directly for marriage.
Ethel wanted to be a grandmother holding a grandchild, while a daughter-in-law could not have children.
Even so, they end up respecting their children's choices.
Ernest always called Ethel "duck", Chinese meaning little cute.
Whenever Ethel wept bitterly, he would always get Ernest's hug, and without Ethel saying anything, Ernest would gently pat her on the back and say dotingly, "I know, I know." ”
The usually optimistic Ernest saw many lives being fought for and completely collapsed, and Ethel hugged him and said, "Let's cry." ”
The days disappeared along with Ernest's hairline, and they walked together for 43 years, and finally Ethel got Alzheimer's disease, and even Ernest could not remember.
Ernest, who had said "I understand" to Ethel all his life, could not accept Ethel's death, and he hugged his son and said bitterly, "I don't understand."
Ernest died that same year, and two years later, his son's wife died of illness.
Years later, the son, who had studied art all his life, chose to commemorate the ordinary life of his parents by hand painting.
He said: "My parents have an ordinary life, they have never quarreled, this picture book is used to commemorate my parents, I think they will be proud." 」 ”
The son was the writer Raymond Breggs, whose picture book about his parents became a bestseller and was later made into the film The London Family.
Probably the ordinary life that most of us want is the one that has long been said to be rotten but cannot be done, and companionship is the longest confession of affection.
Ethel and Ernest survived the war, from the trivialities and compromises of life, and the pear tree in the garden witnessed their true and warm life.
That tree was planted with the core of a pear tree when my son was a child, and now it has been covered like a pavilion, which reminds us of the "Loquat Tree in the Garden" in the "Xiang ridge Xuanzhi", which was planted by hand in the year of my wife's death, and now it is like a pavilion."
Wontons are recorded, focusing on the world's strange things, the brain hole is very large, like to remember to pay attention to me.
