I organized the photo album two days ago, which brought me so many emotions. With a camera on my mobile phone, taking pictures has become a casual thing; on Weibo and WeChat, you can upload text and pictures at any time, making recording life a habit; and Waiting for the emergence of APP, writing and drawing can be completed anytime and anywhere, making effective use of fragmented time, turning complex things into simple things; as long as you have a smartphone and data, everything becomes simple and fast .
Looking through the photo albums of the past four years, the people and things at that time, the joy and happiness once again appeared in front of my eyes. Times have changed, and I laugh at the same time. At that time, my son was studying abroad, and when others were taking their children out for walks on weekends and holidays, I was not idle either. I took my mother-in-law and mother-in-law to visit Qingdao, and there were all the scenic spots that my mother-in-law and mother had never been to, and new things that I had never enjoyed. , I took my mother-in-law and mother to experience it. The world is so big, our parents should also go and see it!
We went to the wooden plank road, Badaguan, and Huashi Tower to tell them about the past and present of these buildings from all over the world. Tired of walking, Sanyu sat down by the beach and watched the happy couple taking photos and Jiang Taigong fishing. They talked and chatted, and I was happy.
We went to visit the former residences of celebrities, such as Kang Youwei and Shen Congwen, to understand the cultural heritage of Qingdao. We climbed up the stairs to Xiaoyushan Park and had a panoramic view of the Huiquan Bay, the Guesthouse, and the Catholic Church. My mother-in-law and mother-in-law said they had never been to the Guest House and the Catholic Church, so the next stop was to go straight to the Guest House and the Catholic Church.
The century-old building of the Guest House opened my mother-in-law’s eyes. This foreigner really knows how to choose a geomantic place. The small foreign-style building hides and relaxes. There are pianos, glass, and dance halls from a hundred years ago. The foreign invaders did not forget to relax. Along the way, we went to see the Catholic Church. It happened to be Sunday and we couldn’t go in, so we had to take pictures outside, so it was considered a visit.
On the morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month, the weather was fine, so I took my mother-in-law and went out. After the Spring Festival, the Tianhou Palace was crowded with people making dough, playing sugar paintings, and singing operas. Mother-in-law and mother-in-law also joined in the fun, looking at this and listening to that. Although they were all called Old Qingdao, they often passed by the door, but when they entered It was the first time I came inside, and today I finally got to see the real face.
After coming out of Thean Hou Temple, I took my mother-in-law to the Zhanqiao Beach to watch seagulls and explore new things in the ancient building - Liangyou Bookstore. Two old people who were over a hundred years old together looked very energetic. , enjoying this time very much.
Going to temple fairs is something that my mother-in-law and mother-in-law are more passionate about. I brought my mother-in-law and mother-in-law to the Fushansuo Temple Fair that was open during the Spring Festival. Although it was just like a general gathering of vendors, my mother-in-law and mother-in-law still seemed to enjoy it. Buy this and bring this That, although it may not necessarily be used, but as long as they can be happy, it is more meaningful than buying the thing itself.
In the spring season, the Olympic Sailing Center has become the first choice for taking mothers-in-law to visit. Looking at the beautiful sailboat berth, the old ladies lamented that Qingdao is so beautiful, but they also did not forget to comfort me. Sentence: Look, as beautiful as Qingdao is, if you spend money to travel to other places, it won’t be as good as Qingdao! Qingdao is indeed as beautiful as the old ladies said, but the world is so big and we always want to see it. Not only us, we will also take our mother-in-law to see the big world outside Qingdao in the future.
Qingdao’s development zones have developed rapidly in recent years. Tangdaowan Park has been favored by the public since it became a branch venue of the Expo. On the weekends, my husband and I took my mother-in-law and mother-in-law to visit the beautiful Tangdao Bay on multi-person bicycles. While the two elderly people lamented the rapid development of the development zone in recent years, they also praised that the scenery of Tangdao Bay is not inferior to that of Qingdao's coastal areas. .
If my time does not allow it, I will directly sign up for a tour group and let my mother-in-law travel together. On March 8th, I signed them up to go to Longkou Nanshan together to see the Giant Buddha and experience community nursing. When they got back, they wanted to go to Nanshan for retirement when they got old. They said the nursing home there was large-scale, well-planned, and most importantly, cheap.
My relatives and friends all envy my mother-in-law and my mother-in-law, who get along well with each other and can play together. Maybe it is my fate that my mother-in-law and mother can get along well with each other. But if we don’t do it, we won’t give them the time and time to get along with each other. Opportunity, how do you know whether they can be harmonious together? We can take the mothers-in-law to play if they don’t know how to play. If they can’t keep up with the times, we can take them to see the fishing boats singing late. If we don’t turn around and care about our mother-in-law, we don’t know that the old people are all connected.
In addition to playing, I also like to take my mother-in-law and mother-in-law to experience new things in their eyes. I took them to the most upscale bathing center in the island city. They murmured as they washed, how luxurious it was to take a bath, and they even had a cook. Indeed, they may not be willing to spend so much money to take a bath in their lives; I took them to stay in a five-star hotel, and the two old ladies were like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. They touched and looked at each other with their eyes. However, the funniest thing is that the two of them ate from the first to the last buffet breakfast, feeling that they had not eaten all the varieties.
I took them to eat Western food, buffets and afternoon tea. While they were eating, they discussed what they could cook at home. They also kept saying that in fact, with our salary, we can afford to live in a five-star hotel. meals. I know that they just spend the New Year with their mouths, and they are not willing to dig into their pockets no matter what. They would rather spend more on their children and grandchildren than spend a little on themselves.
They can say they don’t need us to do anything for them, but that doesn’t mean we really don’t need to do anything for them. I want to think that my mother-in-law and mother-in-law will not feel unfamiliar with what I have seen. No matter who I talk to, they can understand something. As long as they are happy, I will be happy.
The world is so big, our parents really should go and see it. While they can still rely on their own legs and feet to walk out of the door and take a look at the clouds outside the window, don't wait until their children want to be raised but cannot be kissed.
