– My legs are weak, – the old woman grunted, watching her grandson and his guests. Of course, the mother-in-law was not talking about her grandson, but about his companion. But the woman had no strength to contradict that day. After all, her son had come only for a few days. – Mom, why are you dissatisfied with this girl? – Since when are women who give birth called girls? I won’t be silent! – But he’s only here for two days. And they’ll be leaving soon. Why get angry? Grandmother did not understand how this woman dared to contradict her? She was used to contradicting whomever she wanted. But the woman was defending her son. If he decided to marry a girl with a child, it was his business. The son was not a boy: he finished school and has already achieved a lot. He sends money regularly.
He hired a team to repair the roof of his house. Anyway, he is already firmly settled in his city. She, the last of all relatives, lived with her grandmother in the house built by her father-in-law and husband. But they were no longer in this world. After a couple of years – retirement, now only grandchildren to wait; life did not turn out as dreamed. Her soul sings when she goes to visit her son. When she walks along the smooth city sidewalk, past the beautiful shop windows, and a huge street with cars is noisy nearby – she does not want to return to her grandmother. And the son repeatedly offered to stay. When the newlyweds returned, the woman fussed, began to set the table. She ran to her neighbor for milk, and at the same time bought cottage cheese and sour cream. Returning to the kitchen, the woman looked at her son’s girlfriend with interest. She was slim, and her eyes were beautiful. It is obvious that she is well-groomed.
And long and smooth legs. We began to discuss the upcoming wedding. The conversation went smoothly and sincerely. Even the grandmother softened. After the girl asked her for a recipe of homemade liqueur and said that she had never tasted anything tastier! The woman was not surprised when the girl started to help; she washed all the dishes. As if it had been a habit for her for a long time. In the evening we went out to sit on the porch. They sang a song. The woman remembered her husband, that he was quite a walker. Well, now God is his judge. And her son’s girlfriend is beautiful, and her son is nice: the girl showed the photos on her phone. It is a pity that they did not take him with them. Well, nothing, there is still a long summer ahead…
