Father-in-law is a teacher, retired almost twenty years. In the years when he first retired, his father-in-law looked after the house for his sister's family, or took care of the children in his wife's school, and went to the field to plant vegetables, and was happy to do so. Since he went to the city, there is no land to plant, so he stays in front of the TV all day to kill the boredom. Father-in-law's ear is getting backward, talking to shout, can only be heard, will be the TV sound to the maximum, for him, still as thin as a mosquito fly, and mime no different. In the past few years, my father-in-law has been dozing off when he sticks to a chair, often with his head down and his mouth flattened, sitting on a recliner and huffing and puffing, like a lazy cat that is very good at finding a place to enjoy his life. The TV is his faithful companion, never interfere with his doze, as always, playing. Time flows quietly in father-in-law's sound sleep, and also into his dreams.
Father-in-law is good at being quiet, not good at moving. One person stays in the room, will mute the TV, the room is silent, as if no one. When I was young, I didn't like sports, and I was even more lazy after I retired, so I wasn't interested in square dancing or old age exercises at all. Mother-in-law really can't stand it, forced him to go out for a walk after dinner, accompanied and supervised the whole process, to prevent laziness. Because of the father-in-law's back of the ear, slow action, the road is full of cars, a person out too uneasy. In addition to watching TV, father-in-law is also happy to sit next to mother-in-law and watch her play poker. Father-in-law as a teacher, but do not know how to play the simplest poker, in the words of mother-in-law, is lazy, too lazy to learn. Father-in-law sat quietly, see mother-in-law won happy, also followed the smile, smile very subtle, like a gentleman. Father-in-law sometimes do not watch TV in the room, but on the first floor in front of the door of the hall for a long time sitting quietly, from time to time to look at the intersection, winter is not afraid of cold, like waiting for something. People who are familiar with it know that it must be the mother-in-law went out as a guest, and he was waiting for her to return.
Father-in-law is a chronic, too naive, young so, old more so. Mother-in-law called him next door, a long time did not hear the movement, waiting for the urgent, he came slowly. Mother in law criticized him, father in law will always put a smile on his face: "What's the hurry, and is not busy to pick money." Mother-in-law punched in the cotton, the gas subsided, as if to see a well-behaved cat, how can not hate. See father-in-law so, mother-in-law smiled and glared at him, there is nothing to do, but to listen to it. Over time, it is used to.
But there is one thing to do but very skillful, that is fishing. Father-in-law likes to fish, do not miss any opportunity to fish. The weather is clear, father-in-law early in the morning on his special car - electric bicycle, rushed to the destination. Fishing, father-in-law has a lot of patience, sitting on the pond, as if rooted, a fishing on most of the day, until dark to go home. As soon as he arrived home, he called us in a hurry to get the fish, which was also the time when he was the happiest. Every time he fishes, almost all the fish are given away, sometimes he pays for the fish himself, but he doesn't want us to pay for it. When the harvest is very rich, but also to send the next person. Thus, it seems that father-in-law fishing, is to give away fish.
I've never seen my father-in-law angry, I have not seen with the mother-in-law red face, quarrel. I sometimes even doubt that father-in-law has no masculinity, no manhood. Until one time, only completely dispel my doubts. That time, uncle and uncle for the old house foundation boundaries, arguing, quarrel very fierce, almost started martial arts, brotherhood, in front of the interests of so unbearable. At the time of stalemate, father-in-law took the initiative to mediate, no matter how to do ideological work, both sides are not willing to give in first. Father-in-law couldn't stand it any longer, he was furious, criticized the brothers, and eventually the problem was properly resolved. It turns out that father-in-law also has the time to be angry, he was angry for the affection.
Father-in-law does not like to do housework, these years, good sleep lazy bed 'father-in-law, but keen to give everyone grinding soybean milk, very important. Every day more than five o'clock to get up, began to busy, changing patterns, to the soybean milk to add peanuts and red dates and so on. Soymilk grinding, he himself does not drink, can be willing and mother-in-law to send us soybean milk, the two hobbled across the intersection, to the neighborhood where we live downstairs, and then sent up by the mother-in-law. My family lives on the fifth floor, father-in-law can not climb, rarely upstairs, standing in front of the building looking up at the upstairs, waiting for mother-in-law downstairs.
Father-in-law less than eighty, more and more old, slow action, walking to do things, as the movie in slow motion. Father-in-law is really old, can not help but let the heart a touch of pain and worry, worried about father-in-law like a leaf in the fall, at any time may be blown away by the wind of the years. This kind of worry, from a few years ago, year after year, and is still the same.
The good thing is that my father-in-law is happy with the world, everything goes with the flow, and there is a certainty. Before retiring, he did not strive for fame and fortune, when he was a principal, he did financial, and he did everything in a good way, and he had a good time. Do not ask people not through the back door, the eighties to arrange employment, is not a difficult task, but the brother-in-law after graduation, all on their own to work hard, now wearing a uniform to do security. I think, father-in-law, simple ideas, do simple, not lose a wise way of life, not for the name of the trapped, not for the confusion of profit, easy to be satisfied, live in style, live in.
In fact, it's good to be a lazy cat, and some people want to do it, but they can't do it.
