The woman who loves you the most never tells you the truth

Sayings：

#What She Wants is an initiative we've launched for the upcoming Mother's Day, and I invite you to join us now.

Frankly, when choosing gifts for moms at this time of year, we always have a little careless roughness.

Flowers are the most error-free, red envelopes are also very versatile, and a little more grand is cakes and cosmetics, like an annual reward for her mother's identity.

Today, we try to document their true desires. Desire is not so beautiful, but you should know what desire looks like. What did she ever want, what did she want now?

Maybe realistic, want money. Or, unexpectedly, wanting not to be disturbed by a daughter who has lost love. Or it could be a doomed unattainable wish she wasn't going to say, like a reply from her first love.

Below is a list of #What she wants gifts that we've collected, but it's only the first half, and you can fill in the second half together.

Time is not limited, you can leave a message at any time. In fact, it should be like this, for her wishes, we can spend a lot of time.

She wanted a clean sanitary napkin.

My mom was unwell for a while and went to see the gynecologist. I later learned that the sanitary napkins she used were cheap and had bacteria. It's about saving money, and it's not understanding.

She wanted to be carefully read through a passage of hers.

Usually busy at work, my mother's news is always the last to return. Sometimes even, without reading it back, it doesn't come back.

She wanted a silk scarf.

My dad went to sea all year round, and in his childhood memories, there was only my mother. She was always waiting, waiting to meet her father once a year. That's why she liked the scarf: the pink sky, the blue sea, the flocks of white pigeons, and a particularly beautiful girl, waiting for her lover to return.

@Little Fox

She had wanted a popular resin hairpin.

When I was a child, I went to the small commodity market with my mother, and at that time, the resin hairpin was particularly popular, and I said, "Mommy, now this is popular, you can also buy one." Mom thought about it, took my hand to the counter, and asked, "Which is the cheapest?" "My mother at that time was in her early thirties, similar to me now.

@Deer

She wanted a house of her own.

My mom died of cancer a few years ago. She wanted a house of her own, but never got it in her life. She even thought about what style of quilt cover to choose for the new room.

@Big Stupid Sheep

She had wanted a job.

The day after my college entrance examination, my mother was fired from the company that had been dry for more than ten years. I just remember that the day after the exam, my mother took me to the company, took the newspaper with the answer to the college entrance examination and the fortune bamboo she had raised for many years. She came back without saying anything, sat alone in the living room in a daze, took the last bottle of Hans beer in the house, and drank it in one gulp.

@Cherilyn

She had wanted a divorce.

The PHS used in high school was used by my mother before, and once on a whim, I flipped through the previous text message and saw one, "... Otherwise we would get divorced and the two children would belong to me. "It was sent to Dad."

@Fanna

She had wanted a decent life.

In the third year of high school, my mother once came to deliver food at noon, and during the meal, she said: Can you give me the living expenses I gave you last time, and I will give it to you next time, I have no money for the time being.

@Cathy

She wanted a companionship.

When I was in junior high school, one weekend, my mother was supposed to go to work, but she came home tired, lay down on the couch and fell asleep, I don't know what happened, asked her not to say, only said that she was tired and wanted to sleep for a while.

Later, Mom's phone screen lit up, and I opened her phone and saw her chat history with my dad. It turned out that she had secretly gone to an operation, no one accompanied, and went alone to return alone. Afraid of being discovered, I got up early in the morning and went to the hospital.

Just the other day, while I was looking for something, I found my mother hiding her medicine in the corner of a cabinet that I don't usually know how to open.

@Lotus Leaf Chicken

She had wanted a sister.

My mom wanted a sister, she said herself. When I was about ten years old, I once came home from school to see my mother crying while cooking on the fire. I heard from a neighbor that she was humiliated by a person from the same village (her father died early, and my grandmother took it upon herself to find us a stepfather).

Eighteen years later, her mother committed suicide because she was sick and depressed. As an adult, I often think of the picture of my mother wiping tears while stacking firewood on the stove, and the girl who was overwhelmed and ignorant, how she wished that I was her sister and not her daughter.

@Yuan'er

She had wanted a reply.

Mom's first love was her junior high school classmate. In mom's freshman year, the boy re-enrolled in mom's high school. After several inquiries, his mother got the boy's address and began to write to him to encourage him to study hard. Back and forth, the two people determined the relationship through letters. Later, my grandparents moved away from the small town where my mother was in high school and came to the city, and the boy was also admitted to a school in Xi'an.

When she came home from vacation, her mother wanted the boy to come to her and attached a hand-drawn map to the letter. After the letter was sent, my mother, like us who are now tracking the courier, was counting the days every day: today the letter should still be on the way; in recent days he should have gotten it; he should have packed up and was ready to leave; he should have appeared at our doorstep soon...

What I didn't expect was that this heavy letter was like a stone sinking into the sea. For a week, half a month, a month, my mother finally did not wait for an echo.

@Arbor

She had wanted another life.

After Dad's poor health, Mom became the backbone of the family. When I came home from a social trip, my drunken mother hugged me and cried, and her mouth kept saying "unconvinced", and it was no longer a young and mature mother who could not go up a step at work.

I was the same job but the same unambitious, and I could only hug her wordlessly. Later, life went on, but mom got drunk more and more.

@Wang Xiaoyi

She wanted a little freedom.

Mom never had a good friend growing up. She herself is very indifferent and afraid that others will have emotional needs for her. I remember one year when I was in college, I lost love, I was very sad, and ran home hoping to hug my mother and seek a little comfort. But she took the initiative, did not speak, did not refuse, and finally was killed by her father, and she was willing to accompany me.

It seems natural for a mother to comfort her lovelorn daughter, but what if it's hard for her? I never asked for a similar request again, and I rarely called her. Leaving her mother alone and not asking for anything from her may be her way of being free.

@ latitude and longitude

She wanted an island.

Last month, my mom announced that she was "semi-retired," which meant she no longer had to go to work for 8 hours a day, go home at 6:30 p.m. to cook, water flowers, do housework, and get ready for bed at 11 p.m. This regular life lasted for about 30 years, and suddenly, she had a lot of free time.

My mom started calling videos every day, and she complained: "Suddenly there was nothing to do, the first two days I wanted to 'indulge myself', I didn't sleep at night, I didn't get up in the morning, and I ended up all day!" A bit boring! ”。 I remembered the "big moms" who were dancing in the square, so I suggested that she try it too. Unexpectedly, her words turned sharply: "You always say that you are playing a game, what are you playing, is it really fun?" ”

I remember that night, she first opened Animal Forest Friends, spoke to two little tanuki cats for the first time, chose a cute character appearance (with two cupolas), picked up branches for the first time, and first set up her own tent on her own island.

When she showed me in the video, the line that I had forgotten appeared in front of me again:

"A new life has begun~! You can decide what you want to do! Freedom!! ”

@Dark Matter

You know for sure, know what she wants. You don't even need to ask directly, you can find clues in your memories.

What did she ever want? What does she want now?

In short, you are always welcome to leave a message in the comment area. With each more record, we get closer to the right answer.
