an axe. And both in the house and in the bathroom in the yard.
Anastasia. Cabbage has a peculiar smell, but it is useful, you need to eat. Yes, it smells, so what now? Do you want to eat one potato every day?
Fedor. Okay, son. Give me some bread. Katya, bring the fat to the folder, and choose a piece with streaks there. And you, Lisa, don't cry, your mother will help with the dishes, tea is not a stranger to her. Will you help me, zhinka?
Anastasia. I'll help you. And I hid the lard. Katya won't find him. Everyone has cabbage and don't turn their noses up, or I'll cook it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Look, they're going to start a riot for me here on the ship. Everyone calmed down, calmed down and ate in silence!
Yasha. Mom?
Anastasia. Eat, she said! Otherwise, I'll give you more from myself after lunch for the neighbor's garden, and for the twos at school. And what about the cigarettes? Katya? Lisa, are you in this gang too?
Liza. Mom, what are you doing?
Anastasia. Okay, we'll figure it out later. So. Sat down? Like that. Bon appetit, everyone.
Scene 3
Anastasia. Oh, Lisa? Why are you so early today?
Liza. Mom, I had two couples canceled, the teacher got sick.
Anastasia. Why are you so funny? Are you glowing already?
Liza. Are you home alone?
Anastasia. Alone, why?
Lisa. Uh… Then sit down and I'll tell you.
Anastasia. Oh, my God, what happened?
Liza. Mom, don't worry, nothing like that, but take the stool anyway.
Anastasia. Lisa, you're scaring me! And I beg you, get that phrase out of your head.: "Just don't worry!" Because as soon as I hear it, I immediately start to worry a lot more.
Liza. A stool!
Anastasia. Yes, I took it. Here. Sat down! Are you happy?
Lisa. Yeah.
Anastasia. Well?
Lisa. Seryozhka confessed his love to me!
Anastasia. What are you doing?
Liza. mmmmm!
Anastasia. Let me hug you.
Liza. Really, Mom. You know, he was so careful, so shy. But in the end, he still said these three cherished words.
Anastasia. Between you and me, he had those three words written on his forehead about you a couple of years ago. Ever since he moved here, I saw everything in his eyes back then.
Liza. Here! And he also told me that he has loved me ever since. Can you imagine?
Anastasia. I can imagine. Well, what about you?
Liza. And what about me?
Anastasia. Well… what?
Liza. Well, I… don't know. I'm pleased.
Anastasia. It is clear to a fool that it is pleasant. I'm asking how you feel about him. Do you feel anything for him?
Lisa. Well… He's good.
Anastasia. Everything is clear.
Liza. What's clear, Mom?
Anastasia. It's clear that you don't love him, and you never have.
Liza. And how did you draw conclusions so quickly, I wonder? I don't know yet, but she already knows!
Anastasia. And I'm a mother! I know better.
Liza. And what do you know best?
Anastasia. Listen, daughter. This Earring, he's a really good guy.
Liza. He's good!
Anastasia. A good one, yes. Sweet, well-mannered. I'll tell you honestly that I like such a son-in-law, but you won't be happy with him.
Liza. Why is that?
Anastasia. Because your heart didn't flare up with an answer, that's all the wisdom.
Liza. But you just said yourself that I'm cheerful, that I'm glowing all over!
Anastasia. You're glowing because they've confessed their love to you. Not in the way they confessed to each other in childhood, but now in an adult way. With serious far-reaching intentions. You feel it, appreciate it, that's why you're all glowing, shining.
Liza. I don't understand your logic. And how should it be? What's wrong?
Anastasia. Lisa, I understand that you will be angry with me at first, but still listen, Mother. No matter how many times this Earring has been hitting the thresholds around our house, you have never looked at it seriously. I'm even surprised that he took so long to confess, it would have been time to confess long ago. But he didn't touch you inwardly. Do you think I haven't been watching you? She became an adult, so her mother let her go free swimming? How so… I'm keeping an eye on it.
Liza. And what do you recommend to me? Refuse him?
Anastasia. I have no right to interfere and decide anything for you. If you just want to have fun without consequences… You know what I mean, right?
Liza. I understand, it's not small.
Anastasia. Then please! Meet, walk, gain experience. Who knows, maybe it will be tolerated – it will be loved.
Lisa. Mom… I don't want to do that.
Anastasia. That's it. Who wants to. I would understand if you were in your late forties. When the deadline is running out, and there is no choice. Then yes, where to go. Jump into the last carriage of the departing train and be grateful to fate for giving at least something from your lordly shoulder.
Liza. That is, you suggest not to rush!
Anastasia. Exactly! Watch it! Take a closer look at him, listen to your feelings… You'll see – everything will fall into place and you won't need anyone's advice, including mine. You will know everything internally and yourself very accurately.
Liza. Let's hug one more time, Mom. I do not know what I would do without you. I love you very much!
Anastasia. And I love you, daughter. Very.
Yasha. Hello everyone It's good to cuddle, I'm not alone. Here, I want to introduce my friend, Demyan!
Demyan. Hello, everyone.
Anastasia. Hello.
Yasha. We study in the same group. We got lost on the way and decided to come in.
Anastasia. You did the right thing. You must be hungry. Let me feed you.
Demyan. No, I am… Thank you, no need.
Yasha. Come on, Demyan, don't be shy. Everyone here is their own. My mother. This is Lisa's sister. There is another sister, Katka, but she is now in another city. She left on assignment, I told you about her.
Demyan. Understood.
Yasha. Lisa, why are you home so early? Don't you usually come back later?
Liza. And I have two pairs canceled. The teacher is ill.
Yasha. Ah.. it's clear. Are you courting a guest?
Demyan. Yes I… Yes, what…
Liza. With pleasure…
Demyan. Yes… well…
Yasha. It's okay, Demyan. We'll have a quick snack now, then I'll walk you out, we'll chat some more.
Demyan. Okay
, Yasha. Lisa! Are you dropping ladles there?
Liza. I accidentally dropped it.
Yasha. Yeah… It's clear. You're looking at Demyan because you're squinting, not looking into a saucepan.
Liza. Fool!
Anastasia. Yasha, stop it! Why are you embarrassing the girl?
Yasha. What am I? I'm all right.
Anastasia. There's
