Grandma's hobby
Zhang Miao
Grandma's greatest hobby was needlework. As long as there is a grandmother,around the place, you can see her needlework tools everywhere, which is a hobby that grandma has insisted on all her life. As long as grandma sees or imagines things with her own eyes, she will forget to eat and sleep to do, painting, cutting, pasting, embroidery and physical objects are very similar. In my opinion, in today's parlance, Grandma is an old artist in our extended family, her exquisite handicrafts are well known, her neighbors in the village are full of praise for her achievements, and her works are collected by her children and grandchildren!
When I was a child, I would wear my grandmother's embroidered shoes every Spring Festival, with my grandmother's favorite plum blossoms and chrysanthemums on the upper, of course, the same style would be displayed on the clothes, which was vivid and vivid. As soon as the New Year's Day greets God, we are similar in age will wear their own new clothes, compared to who is the best looking, I have carefully observed, grandma embroidered chrysanthemums and plum blossoms are different, there are flowers in full bloom, there are buds to be released, there are also sprouting, different looks, lifelike, like just picked, attracted friends around me, at that time, I was really proud, like I won the award. I think Grandma not only thinks that these two flowers are beautiful, but also pins her good wishes: chrysanthemums, integrity and indomitability, not to be in complicit with the world. Plum blossoms, Ling Han proud of snow, do not compete with spring flowers. What a beautiful allegory, this is not exactly the portrayal of Grandma's life! Looking back on my grandmother's life is not integrity, indomitability, tolerance and generosity, regardless of length, treating people and things equally, always trying to pay for us, and always catering to everyone with a smiley face. In my grandmother, I saw a realm of being a noble person, not arguing, not robbing, not showing, not calculating, never losing her temper, and the only thing that made her proud and flaunted was her children and grandchildren. And these are exactly what we lack in our lives right now, at least what I lack. Now my grandmother in her eighties is as innocent and cute as a child, and every time I hear my grandmother say some of her wishes, I can't help but laugh. Sometimes when I am in a bad mood or when I encounter something uneven, I think about going to see my grandmother and talk to my grandmother, and my momentary bored mood is quickly cured, and my mood will be much calmer.
Compared with embroidered shoes, Grandma's embroidered purse is also unique, every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, Grandma will give us a few children to prepare a good purse in advance, there are purse bracelets, bracelets are full of food, there are garlic, soybeans, pumpkins, peanuts, etc., grains are abundant, beautiful. There are also frog purses, frog feet hanging five blessings of the purse, carrying a large rice dumpling on the back, riding on my shoulder like a living creature, energetic with us to go to the festival, walking on the road to be seen by the neighbors, do not ask people to know that it is grandma's craftsmanship, the elderly said: "Your uncle's embroidered purse is really beautiful!" Hands are really clever!", when the agricultural society, Grandma has long been a well-known good tailor, listen to the mother said, because Grandma sewed clothes in the brigade, the leftover material Grandma will take back to me to design an extremely beautiful finished dress, to wear in the New Year, the mother always said that rely on Grandma I did not wear patches, I secretly rejoiced that this is My grandmother's preference for me. Grandma had never read a book and could not read, but she was full of love for life and never bowed her head!
Time flies, I am a mother, and my grandmother is over eighty years old. Grandma still couldn't leave the needlework in her hand. Grandma often hunched her back, buried her head and concentrated on doing all kinds of handicrafts she loved, we often discouraged, long hours of labor, not good for the eyes and waist and legs, but although Grandma promised, but did not make a mistake, saying that she wanted to leave some thoughts for all her heavy grandchildren, Grandma always maintained a fiery heart for her hobbies. Grandma is still deaf and blind, which is probably the reason for the "benevolent life"!
I am thirty years old, sometimes I complain too much about life, why can't I not have the same heart for life like my grandmother? Shame on you to think about it! Whenever I look at my grandmother who is smiling, the two apple muscles are lifted, and I can't help but reach out and pinch, thinking that my grandmother is the cutest old man in the world. At the same time, my heart will also be mixed, if I hadn't grown up and my grandmother hadn't grown old, I would still be the little fart who used to follow my grandmother's ass wherever I went! The past is like smoke, and the world is reincarnated. Now my little ass child who is following me is like when I was a child, once I said to the baby, I said I hope you grow up slowly, otherwise the mother will become old in the blink of an eye; the baby said in a sad tone, the mother should not become old, become an old woman when she becomes old, and her eyes are red!
People will grow old, but how precious it is to be able to maintain a pure heart of love for life like grandma for a lifetime!
