The story behind an old photo: My single mother, from the show to the betel vegetable market, brought me the oil bottle

An old photo tells the story behind my single mother. When she came from the show to the betel and the vegetable market, she brought me the oil bottle. But her strong vitality inspired me, and my mother and I are very happy now!

I went to the audience and backstage with my mother since I was a child, divorced and remarried with my mother, and finally grew up in a stable family. Now I am a well-in-class fashion magazine interview and edited, and I also have two daughters. Looking back at my mother, I am so brave and strong! And I want to write my mother's story……

My mother, a 14-year-old little girl who secretly came to Taipei to learn hair

Editor: [Boiling oil bottle] A light insulting word refers to the children who are brought to their husband's family by remarrying her.

Checked the definition of "drag oil bottle", and there is really! Hahaha! Yes, when I was a child, I was what people used to call it; oil bottle!

That day, my mother was lying in front of the bed, squinting on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes flashed with light, saying to me, "How come life is so fast, I'm going to be 70 years old! But it seems that my heart is only 14 years old, and I just came to Taipei to learn hair!" My mother looked at my daughter who was sleeping beside me. She was over 14 years old this year, and it was the age when she came to Taipei that year.

At that moment, I saw the soul of a 14-year-old girl from my mother's eyes.

She is in Yunlin Mailiao, and is ranked eighth! Grandpa and grandmother passed away when their mother was very young, and her mother was brought to her by her brother and sister. Whenever she sees her brothers and sisters, she admires her and longs for having her own family.

At the age of 14, she heard someone in the village ask, "Is anyone going to Taipei to learn hair?" My mother heard that it was the first time that she secretly stole her family and took the initiative to register to become a disciple in Taipei. She only has a few dozen families on her body, and she has all been paid for her car. I remember that day, she went out silently at three or four o'clock in the morning. After taking a car for several hours, she got off from Yunlin Mailiao and got off the car. She looked at the bustling city and thought to herself, "Wow! This is Taipei!"

Become a hair stylist at the show, and my family also performed "Lonely Taste"

"I used to be a disciple for three years, but I didn't have a salary, but I had food and accommodation, and my monthly salary was only 20 yuan. The teacher was very strict!" Looking at my daughter, my mother often felt that the current children were too rich and too lucky!

Three years later, she finally became a hair stylist for artists, often helping the red old artists who were wearing hair and manicures back then, and thus began to get along with the acting circle. With the introduction of customers, she met my biological father.

The biological father was also a Taiwanese artist and behind-the-scenes editor. When restaurant shows and construction site shows were popular that year, he was also considered a figure. He said that he was drifting and humorous that year. Maybe it was because my mother wanted to get married at that time, so she got married quickly. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. After marriage, it was just like the movie "The Story of the Same" that the husband could not be dedicated and settled down to take care of his wife, so my mother immediately broke the fire!

When I was a child, I didn't understand the whole story and felt that my parents were divorced and had to bear the different opinions of my friends. Every time I go back to the country, my friend love gossip caught me aside and asked in a private manner: "Have your dad been back to find you?" That feeling was actually uncomfortable, "Of course not!" I was young at that time, but I felt that this problem was extremely boring, and then I quickly left the adult who loves gossip.

But happy that there are also friends who take good care of me and my mother. I keep all my love and evil in my heart. After all, divorce was very rare in that era, and it was not too glorious! But now when I grow up, looking at my mother’s decision that year, I feel really amazing! It is completely 200% correct! Because mother and daughter are reluctant to maintain marriage with an unfavorable man!

Becoming a hair stylist to a betel-shaped boss

About 8, I had been moving around for two years. In order to nourish me, my mother worked hard and had poor hair pharmacies in the past, so her hands were slapped and she could no longer work on hair scrub. It is really not easy to start looking for other children to have a single mother with a child. I remember that I had been entrusted to someone else's house, but later I was very happy to return to my mother and changed several jobs with her mother……

In my memory, I got up early in the morning to make beans, and the sound of bean grinding machines in my ears, so we lived in a small room behind the bean shop. During this period, I also help with the fried eggs and bread to customers; I have also sold betels. Yes, I am not a betel, but I have also helped to pack betels. My mother is not dressed beautifully, but just a very ordinary betels. She sells some drinks. In my impression, I like to go out to get a bottle of honey to drink after class. Basically, I have drunk the meager profit! Hahaha!

I was very young, and when I saw my mother working hard to raise me, I couldn't do anything for her. The only thing I could do was read the book well and promised that my mother would buy a big house for her to live in when she grew up! (Although this wish has not been realized yet) What impressed me deeply was that when I was in the second or third grade of elementary school, my mother would get up very early to memorize new words and explain them, so I had breakfast, and then took a bus from Nangang Yue District to Zhongshan District to study because she didn't want to transfer from her familiar classmates.

Remarried and met the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's exam.

I remember that my mother had a boyfriend, but because of my burden, my mother has a lot of considerations! Finally, we broke up. Later, with the introduction of the elder, I encouraged my mother to marry my father. My father passed away because his wife was sick. He had four children, two brothers and two sisters. He was much older than me. I think that in order to give me a stable and growing environment, my mother decided to marry her father, and finally the mother and daughter settled down.

The father's personality was very gentle, and later, Suzi called him "the elephant". His father inherited the family business that started selling fish pills and chicken rolls from his grandfather's time. After his mother married into the vegetable market, she also started to help in the vegetable market and inherited her grandfather's handicrafts. That's how I pulled me up!

Both my brothers and sisters are very good to me and also to my mother, but my mother still works hard because there is a terrifying mother-in-law (who passed away a few years ago)…… In fact, my grandmother-in-law is not bad to me, but she is very bad to my mother. Maybe the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the past was so scary!

My mother always says, "In life, we will encounter problems. Either the senior problem or the teacher's problem, or the child's problem." So, the husband and the child have no problems, and the senior's test will come! When I grew up, when I recall this wise saying, it seems that there are some truths. No one’s life is perfect, and every family has a difficult thought! (However, when I come back, do you have these problems? Hahahahaha!)

The fashionable mother who was in the hairdresser that year changed into a skirt, picked up a tint, and became the owner of the vegetable market! I don't know how my mother could let go of all this! Return to a dull life from a colorful art circle. Now that I am over forty years old, looking back at my mother's life, I feel that it is not easy for her mother, but I also admire the woman's rudeness. Perhaps it is also a kind of gift to see through the entertainment circle. Relying on ordinary days can make your daughter grow up safely!

The girl who is so angry that she can be very angry

As for me! Now, in everyone's eyes, I feel that I am a very positive person. In fact, my entire growth process grew up under the relationship between love and hatred! I am full of love and gratitude for my mother and family, but I am full of hatred for my biological father. What motivated me to recite the book carefully was not positive, but the idea of "I must make you regret giving up our mother and daughter!" and "I must make my mother proud of me!" The idea of trying hard to grow up and out of the crowd.

Perhaps it is a strong will in my heart: "Even if it is a drag, I will be the one that is the most harmful!" Later, it was indeed as if I could read the ideal university in my mind, and it also made professional development in the media circle. I dare not say whether there is the most harmful thing, hahaha! At least, I remember a friend once said to my mother, "It is better to have a daughter than to have four sons!" I should be proud of my mother!

Now, I also have my own family and children, and I still understand that it is all about love, hatred, and love. It is the love and life of my mother. I need to reconcile with my biological father in my heart. My relationship with Suo Father was very good in the end. I remember that before he passed away, he was in the nursing room. I told him, "Dad, I love you!" Suo Father replied to me, "I love you too!"

Now, I have been quarreling with her mother, her husband, and her daughter, and since then, I have been quarreling but actually happy days!

If you are like us, you are a drag bottle or her mother, please believe that your future will be very happy! Mom, choosing to divorce is a brave thing. Please believe that no matter whether you remarry or not, you and your children are a happy family. You deserve to be loved. You will also find someone who loves you. Your children will be very happy when they grow up!

Recently notes:

Although we are not celebrities, if we want to write a story about our mother, our emotions are intense and we cannot write down our mother, for fear that we will ruin our mother’s life for almost 70 years!

Last year, I visited the mother and daughter of the film podcast "One Year's Confession", Doreen and her mother Mish, and I had a lot of emotions in my heart. After the interview, I had an idea in my heart, and I must visit my mother, record her story and inherit it to my daughter. As a result, one day I suddenly went to ask my mother if she could visit her, but she was rejected! Ha ha! My mother is very individual and she thinks her story is not easy to visit.

I am very grateful to Mom Bao Bao for his invitation, which made me brave. I hope everyone can go back and chat with their bosses and talk about their stories. I believe that this will become a very valuable memory in life!
