Grandma has arrived, – the youngest granddaughter flew out of the room and jumped on her arms, from which the bags fell down – grandma does not come empty-handed.
-Mom, how many times do I have to tell you, don’t carry heavy things, there is everything in the shops.
-Shops, shops and what can you buy in your shops?
-Mom, you forgot, I got an inheritance from my aunt.
-Yes, you did, I see your husband is cleaning your sofa…
“And congratulations to you, dear mother-in-law,” the man said sarcastically.
-Hide your belly, because it sticks out like a pregnant woman’s.
And then he got a little scared: “Does she really know?” – he thought.
He left his wife, and who was he with? Even in his thoughts he is afraid to admit, what the devil confused him, and now he can not think about anything, only about her. He has already stopped sleeping. It’s okay that the girl is my daughter’s friend and much younger than him.
The eldest granddaughter swam out of the room, she doesn’t throw herself on my neck anymore, – the grandmother thought, – and the age is not the same to breed tenderness, twenty-five, and she is still a virgin, you can’t get her married.
Recently, whenever I come to their house, there are some secretive people, I need to ask the younger one, her daughter gave birth late, where do you see such a difference, even at the age of fifteen.
-Mom, can’t you hear? Calling, calling, let’s go to dinner.
-I thought to my daughter.
We sat down at the table, and then the doorbell rang.
My eldest daughter jumped up. -My friend.
-Go back to your seat.
-This girl is often there, – thought the grandmother. -I have my place at the table. I don’t like it…
But she didn’t say anything out loud.
Why did you come, mom, as if you had not promised, – the daughter asked her mother.
“I had a bad dream, like a stork landed on the roof of your house, and my son-in-law was chasing it…
So the stork is for children, so I wonder if you decided to give birth in your old age?
-Mum, what are you saying? I gave birth to mine.
Did your son-in-law give birth?
-Mom…
-Don’t worry, he’ll bring it and you won’t even notice…
It’s been a long time since a woman laughed like that:
-Who needs him? Look at his tummy.
Look not at his tummy, but in his pocket, I hope you didn’t let your son-in-law inherit?
-Mom, I’ve divided everything between the girls, only the shop.
-I see your girlfriend has changed her gait, she walks carefully, is she pregnant?
-They work and stay at home in the evenings.
It is good at home, but she and her son-in-law were looking at each other, nothing escapes the mother’s eyes.
The mother-in-law sighs. She thinks – until I find out everything, I will not leave.
I had to stay with my son-in-law for a short time. On the second day, in the evening, the old woman sits in the lilac thickets, drinking tea, grace. A new gazebo was built.
-“Thanks to my sister, – she thinks. – She was childless, may she rest in peace, she left everything to my daughter.
-Is it true? – suddenly the voice of my son-in-law was heard from the thickets.
-It’s true, I’ve been pregnant for two months, when my father finds out… I do not know what will happen – the granddaughter’s friend replied.
-“Everything will be fine, I will divorce, divide the property and build a house. And who do we have?
-I haven’t gone anywhere yet, how can I go, my mother works in the hospital…
-“My dear, a stork has come to the roof,” thought the grandmother.
-“Come here,” she called her daughter.
-“What happened, why are you screaming, you scared me, your ears are ringing?
-It’s ringing worse now, yours is walking with a stomach…
-Well, what else?
The man is standing and not breathing, he did not think that he would open so quickly.
-I’m leaving you, don’t fight too much, I’m in love…
-You fell in love? With whom? Don’t make me laugh.
The woman laughed until she hiccupped, she couldn’t stop.
-You’re in love, and she? Old stump, she’s good enough for your daughter, – the woman suddenly settled down.
The husband left his wife.
It took her a long time to come to her senses, the town is small, everything and everyone is in front of her eyes.
She used to quarrel, then suffered, why she disgraced herself. Gradually she calmed down, started to work in the shop, in her worries she began to forget.
And her husband? He and his girlfriend had two girls. They are finishing the house.
That’s how it happens in life, and a dream in hand and a stork are not always good luck!
