Mae Soi is a native of Bangkok, born around the year B.E. 1986, but because his father died when he was still very young Her paternal relatives, Grandpa and Grandma, did not like her mother, who was a foreigner from the countryside. Therefore, the mother and daughter had to wander away from their home. She took refuge with Mae Soi's grandparents in her original home, Phetchaburi Province.
'Mae Noi', Mae Soi's mother, is from Khao Yoi District. and was a beautiful woman in the subdistrict, her reputation spread as far as Bang Khem Subdistrict. There were a lot of young men and older men, many faces coming to get close and to be intimate with each other. But in the end, I don't know how. The lucky man who had her as his wife turned out to be a round-faced young man from Bangkok.
This matter has caused great pain and sorrow to the young man living in the same house as Mae Noi. Even though many years have passed But no one can forget that incident. Therefore, when she was helpless and brought her daughter back, All the men in the village were indifferent.
I will not come to see you for a visit. Little Mother was a person who thought too much and had a weak and sickly body beforehand. Soon he fell ill and dejected. and died quickly two weeks later. At that time Mae Soi herself was only 5 years old.
Therefore, the two grandparents had to take on the responsibility of the mother who had passed away in nurturing and caring for the girl as she lived, sometimes with full stomachs, sometimes starved, and struggling in turns. Until Mae Soi grew up and became a beautiful young woman. Her appearance was even more beautiful than when her mother was a young woman.
This is why the young men in the neighborhood who were once fascinated dreamed of it. To be the owner of Mae Noi They all forgot their past grievances. and turned the ship's prow towards Mae Soi instead.
But time has passed without waiting for anyone. Those young men will not be as young as they were in the past. Most of them are married and have children and have grown breasts. Except for 'Father Kem', the old man who owns a large rice mill in the village. who has remained single until the present
without slipping up and going out with another girl first In the end, both of them, Father Khem, an older man, ended up living together with Mae Soi. and in the knowledge and consent of the two grandparents Even though there is a big age difference between father and son. after marriage Mae Soi asked her husband to let her grandparents come and live with them in the big house that was a dormitory. The man did not object in any way.
A cold wind came and then passed...
Seventeen years passed like a lie. Now Mae Soi's daughter, who was born to Father Khem, has gone down to live in Bangkok, the city of Fa Amon. to go to higher education for about four months now But never sent any news back home. She was gone and disappeared as if she had died. Mae Soi felt very anxious.
Until I could no longer wait anxiously. Because Mae Soi is a person who does not know how to use any technology to communicate with him. And basically, my personal personality doesn't like this side. She had no other way than the old-fashioned way to contact her beloved daughter. Which today's new generation probably sees as a joke.
Writing letters and sending them by express mail which has the following meaning:
In front of Khao Yoi Cave
Monday, 15th day of the waxing moon of the 12th lunar month, Year of the Rooster.
Dear Jasmine,
Jasmine! You've gone quiet and haven't sent me any news about how things are over there. Mother's godmother Oh, why are you so callous to your mother? I don't mind if you don't write a letter or even call me back. Even though there's a new phone on the TV, what does it say?
I have a cell phone and you asked for my money to buy it. Why not use it to make it worth it? Even though, deep down in my heart, I am very disappointed. But let's face it, if you're busy, that's okay. Well, I'm talking about mobile phones. I'm still quite confused by the language of Bangkok people. I don't know if you are the same or not.
I really wonder why it has to be called a mobile phone. Since it's already certain that no matter where, everyone must use a mobile phone. No one would do the trick of using their feet instead of flowers. Is that true? Oh, don't be surprised. The one I drew on the letterhead said "In front of the cave." I just came to offer lunch to the monks at the temple.
So I took the opportunity to sit and write this letter under the giant tamarind tree. Sigh..it's a bit difficult. The monkeys on the mountain were starving, so they came down to look for food around here. Urine rained down on my head until I could hardly dodge it.. finished it. If the paper has strange color stains Some are flowers or stars. Please know that I did not do this.
Sigh, I'm tired. I haven't written a letter to anyone for almost twenty years. It's hard, not fun. I remember the last time I picked up a pencil to write was when I rejected Chaem's father's marriage proposal. And here the government allows oil prices to skyrocket. I don't know either. I've seen people around here talk about it both in the morning, in the day and in the evening, or if it will happen in the early evening again, I'm not sure. If it's going to be bad
Because of the little teacher who taught you when you were in elementary school. You say the economy is all bad. You know that my brain is not good and has a lot of sawdust. The teacher couldn't push him. Graduating from the sixth grade is already overwhelmingly meritorious. Like, what am I going to understand? I only know that things are getting more expensive and money is becoming harder to find than before. In any case, you should spend it sparingly. Consider it helping me.
What is that Western food that they call "Fat Pood"? Don't be too easily tempted to eat it. Just the name is not auspicious. When we finished eating, we all started to poop. Why are you eating it? Or the new generation these days like to hit each other and make fun of each other. I just found out In fact, it probably can't compete with our local shrimp paste chili paste.
I saw someone say that there is a brand that is very poisonous. Oh, just hearing the name makes it scary. I wonder how the people in Bangkok ate it and didn't die? When I say it, I feel annoyed. Why did Thai people in your time get number five so crazy about these things? I don't see what's so appealing about it.
Well, I'm not afraid you'll get bored with jasmine. But the paper I wrote on is almost gone. Here, I would like to share with you a few pieces of Luangta's leftover paper. Because I wasn't prepared. You must try to keep your writing small. I had no idea it would be this difficult to write. Because I used to write letters as big as a curry pot.
But let's face it, I saw the sheriff announce that we should help reduce global warming. By using recycled paper. Oh, don't even think about insulting your mother. I have some knowledge of the Pakit language as well. Anyway, please open your eyes and read this. A girl like you probably sees it easier than me. I will help you too. Amen.
Let's get into the matter now. It's Father Chaem who used to like your mother's mother before. He came to ask me to be his wife. I am also humbled to see that our family owes him a great deal. It's the story that your grandmother once reneged on her promise to marry him. Then he took his clothes and ran away to live with his grandparents in Bangkok.
When it was time for me to grow up to be a little girl, my face suddenly opened up. Father, everyone who had ever been infatuated with your grandmother, they all came to me in droves to make their eyes water. It happened that during that time I still didn't know about these things. So I'm glad that a lot of people like it. At first, I thought I'd take a long time to choose. Playing like a formality Then I can settle down with whoever I like.
But beautiful people usually don't live long. Please remember this point well. What is clear is that my father happened first. Even though I had already promised to marry Father Chaem Khao. Oh, don't tell me, it's a long story. Let's wait for you to come home first.
This is where things get messy, like mosquitoes fighting each other. My father suddenly became angry. I don't know what to think. Yesterday he came and said to me that he had forgiven everything about the past. That me and your grandmother used to make your father's chest soak in pus. But please have mercy on me for having waited seventeen years. In fact, since your grandmother's generation, you have waited almost forty years.
You must understand that I am a person who sympathizes with people. When I want to dress it myself, I can't do it. Because your father still sits with his head raised. If you're already dead, you can't say that. So I see there is only one way. Even if I don't tell you, you might be able to guess. Do you know that Father Chaem is very happy? Said that the daughter of this house has strong blood from her grandmother.
The page comes out with the same print. After listening, I just realized that what he said was true. Let's just say that you are happy and relieved that I have already prepared the groom for you. Don't worry about not being able to find a husband. The only downside is that Father Cham is almost sixty-three years old, but that's okay.
Ancient people called it the porcelain version. He's old but still has fire. However, don't be too happy just yet. Because Father Cham whispered to me that He will wait for you to graduate first. When we come back, we will organize an elephant event worthy of the long wait. which I also see well You know, I'm reminded of a story from a long time ago.
Father Chaem will finally be in love with him. I'm happy too.
But hey, what a pity you are, Jasmine. Don't be shocked and cry with regret. Because no sooner had we heard the good news than we had to hear the bad news. It's in the early morning. While I was preparing to cook rice and fish to feed the monks at the temple. Ai Tee, the niece of Chaem's father, ran up to him, looking alarmed. Panting, my ribs are flaring.
His mouth hung open for a long time until there was enough sound to be heard.
He was shocked and told me that Father Cham had died of a heart attack. Oh, I guess he was overjoyed. Oh, we actually talked well yesterday. In the end, Father Chaem was unable to succeed.
finish.
