The Exiled Empress (Nanchong Intermediate Exam)

① After my father died, my mother lived more and more uninviting.
② She uses the iPad to pass her grandchildren, cooks meals suddenly into and out of order, messes up her bookkeeping, locks herself out, and forgets her grandchildren in kindergarten every now and then? Who would dare to believe that mom was a high school teacher extraordinaire before she retired? I taught her how to play WeChat, traveled with her, helped her buy fitness equipment, took her to find old playmates, and pushed her to dance in the square? But it's still not possible to get her back to her youthful glory and enthusiasm, she will always be a stranger to the scene.
③ On this state of mom, I really can not understand, until one day, I found her reading a book: Arnaud Geiger's "Exile". Geigel's The Old King in Exile. Such a sad book, no wonder the more she read the more depressed! In order to criticize this strain of "spiritual poisonous grass", I secretly read it.
④ The author describes his father's aging process, comparing his father, who has Parkinson's disease, to a king who has been exiled, and to whom the familiar family environment has become more and more unfamiliar, as if he were in a foreign land. The father is so determined to return to the home he remembers that he "wanders about at a loss for words". The author saw his father slowly "becoming stupid", as if he felt the life seeping out of him, and the personality of the whole man leaking out drop by drop.
⑤ I was saddened to read the touching part! For so long, I didn't really understand the blow that my father's death dealt to my old mom. I just blamed her for not being optimistic and not pulling herself together, but never looked at her inner struggle and helplessness from her point of view. After roughly skimming the book, I walked out of my mom's bedroom where she was watching TV in the living room.
⑥ As usual, there was a musty odor of indifference in her eyes as she watched TV. What was on the screen meant nothing to her, and she just needed something loud enough to dull her loneliness.
(7) I sat down and talked to her about the comedian on TV. She stammered and responded to me with a few perfunctory laughs. I can see that she was a little frightened of my "abnormal" behavior today. Since her father left, she became more and more like a love to make mistakes of the brutal girl, to me, there is a kind of indescribable nervousness. Perhaps it is afraid of me nagging her, she said on the pretext that they want to cook, and left me alone on the couch.
⑧ kitchen her movements are slow, often stopping to think, and do not know what to think. She picked up the salt shaker, thinking about whether she had put salt or not, and after a few seconds of pause, she put a little bit, plus a little bit?
⑨This is when I think of my father who passed away. When he was alive, my father would always come over and chat while she was cooking. At that time, my mother's mouth to answer, hands organized. She was always organized, never panicked, and brought delicious food to the table with a smile and a laugh.
⑩ Now, one is gone, and the other lives on in her daughter's anger and scowl.
? Looking at my mother's back, I felt the great impact of the passing years? Unconsciously, my mother has entered a lonely old age, she seems to be an exiled queen, at a loss to face the world that is becoming stranger and stranger to her. Her parents, her husband, her old friends, who loved her, have left one by one, and her only daughter complains all the time that she is not optimistic, sunny and cheerful? Milan? Kundera's quote comes to mind? "The only thing we can do in the face of that irretrievable rout of life is to understand it."
? If light shines on aging and loneliness as the debacle of life that my mom must face, then I shouldn't ask her to force a smile, I shouldn't take her to those lively environments where she can't fit in at all, and I shouldn't blame her for not being mindful of the kids and the housework? If she doesn't know where to put her heart, how can she talk about walking the talk?
? I walked into the kitchen and silently turned on the range hood that she had forgotten to turn on. I put a piece of candy in her mouth and smiled at her clumsiness. The kitchen was quiet, and the sound of the range hood brought us the warmth of a silent agreement. My mom smiled at me and I smiled back at her. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to be able to do it," he said.
? Yes, when I gave up all my demands on her, something called "understanding" came to me like the Holy Spirit.
? "Mom, may my understanding be a resting place for your loneliness." I said in my heart.
