The story of a cook

Chapter 213 Going Home (Fourteen)
I stayed at home with my mother for another two days. These two days were very quiet and no one disturbed me.

I get up every morning and cook with my mother. They make noodles. I like to eat noodles made by my mother, especially the noodles mixed with white noodles and buckwheat noodles. It tastes very chewy.Stir-fry is sauerkraut, minced meat and tofu stew. When making marinade, add chopped green onion to the pot, add soy sauce, then put sauerkraut in and stir-fry until fragrant, add soup, put the chopped tofu into the pot, and stew for more than ten Minutes, stew into the taste.Pour the stewed sauerkraut and tofu stew on the noodles. The strong aroma of sauerkraut and tofu will entice your appetite.Then put some chili sauce made by my mother in it, and mix it with the noodles. The taste, the taste, eat it, it is very fragrant!
Jiaxu also likes to eat it, but when he eats it, he needs to add some garlic sauce made from a garlic jar, saying that it tastes better that way.It's really a way of eating for each person, and children have their own unique way of eating, which is also amazing.

When I eat noodles, I drink two or three ounces of hot water, and I feel dizzy. It’s a beautiful day.

On the third day, the second sister and second brother-in-law came.Their family didn't have motorcycles at that time, so it was good to drive their own mule cart.In the countryside, any car has its advantages. Motorcycles are fast, and it is more convenient to go out. If you want to work in the mountains, you have to say that it is a mule cart.In autumn, when harvesting crops and pulling them home, tricycles are not enough, mule carts are better. In some places where the mountain roads are difficult to get on, tricycles cannot be used, so mule carts have to be used.

The second sister brought a small rooster that was killed and asked me to take it back and stew it for Lin Yan and Qiuping.I also took a lot of salted duck eggs, salted goose eggs, and a bag of millet.Looking at the things that the second sister took, I thought it was enough for me, it was quite a lot.

The second sister asked: "Guohua, can you go to work this time?"

I said, "No, look for a job first when you go back, and then go to work after you find it."

The second sister asked: "Then is it easy for you to find a job?"

I said, "It's okay, it's easy to find."

The second sister was a little relieved and said: "It's okay if you can find it. I'm still worried that it won't be easy." Then she told me: "This time you go back and find a more reliable restaurant. If you do it, you can do it for four or five years. If you change places, you can work for two days and still not save money.”

I laughed and said, "I also want to find a restaurant like that. If it's safe, I have to try it. If I meet it, I'm lucky, and I can work for a few years."

The second brother-in-law said: "Don't worry about working for a few years, as long as you can earn money, you don't have much to spend there. The restaurant cares about food, just rent a house and pay some rent. Save the rest of the money and wait for the New Year to get married."

I said, "Well, that's the plan."

The second sister asked: "Are you planning to get married at home?"

"I haven't planned it yet. I'll talk about it later." I said, "Looking at the big sister's family holding a wedding for Lan Jun, I think it's too noisy. Mom is getting old, and I'm used to being quiet at home all these years, so I don't want to make it so big."

The second sister said: "Then we have to do something, our five sisters are still waiting to drink your wedding wine."

I said: "If you want to do it, we will do it at home. It's not a big deal. When these relatives know it, they will come. If they don't know it, forget it. It's simple."

Mother said: "It depends on what you and Lin Yan want. If you want to do it at home, you can do it at home. If you don't want to, you two can get a marriage certificate, and then go on a trip to get married. We don't want to accept any gifts. "

The second brother-in-law said: "I think it's better to do it, but this kid has to do it anyway, it's lively and lively."

Mother said: "It's up to you, I can do whatever I want, he's not at home, and I have to go back to the provincial capital after the work is over, and my old lady is still alone when the fun is over."

I laughed and said, "Mom, I won't leave after I get married. I will stay with you at home and take care of you in the old age."

My mother said: "Don't fool the old lady there, you like to go away, it's better for me to be an old lady at home, quiet, no one is angry, calm, and I can live a few more years."

After hearing this, Jia Xu said, "Grandma, I will stay with you at home."

The mother smiled and said, "Give me back my grandson. If I stay with grandma at home every day, it is my grandson's filial piety."

I was a little ashamed of what my mother said, and I didn't dare to say anything for a long time.

The second sister asked Jiaxu: "Jiaxu, have you lived at your grandma's house all winter?"

Jia Xu said: "Yes, I always live at my grandma's house."

The second sister asked: "Then you don't want your mother?"

Jiaxu said: "Sometimes I think, my mom will come with my dad on Saturday."

The second sister said: "These children love to run to grandma's house. My little He He doesn't have a holiday. If it was a holiday, he would have come here already. I don't know what's good about this dry old lady, so I would like to come."

The second brother-in-law said: "Then there are still people who don't like to come here. Her grandma doesn't care about them here. She even protects them and cooks them differently. If she wants to eat dumplings, she will make dumplings and if she wants to eat noodles, she will make noodles. If you have nothing to do, I will buy snacks, can you not like to come?"

Mother just laughed and said: "You don't look at the people in the next life, and kiss the people in the next life. If people are old, they don't care about the people in the next life, and they are willing to look for them. It means that this old person can't die and can live for a few more years." You will know when you are old and have grandchildren, and you will protect them like me."

The second sister said: "I heard people say this is the case. If people are old and children don't mind it, then this old person can live a long life. It seems that our mother can't die, and can live to be a hundred years old."

Jia Xu said, "My grandma is a centenarian."

The dumplings for lunch are stuffed with sauerkraut that Jiaxu likes to eat.

I drank some wine with my second brother-in-law. While drinking, the second brother-in-law said, "Guohua, you must pay attention to Qiuping when you are with me. You can't let her learn badly."

I said, "Don't worry, you can't."

The second brother-in-law said: "Tell you about Guohua, don't think that the second brother-in-law and the two girls have no boys, and they still don't accept who they live in. I have to earn some money for these two girls. When the time comes, your second sister and I will have to rely on these two girls for the elderly." Woolen cloth."

I said: "You two girls are very nice, when you are old, you will be better than our sisters."

The second sister said: "You all say that my life is good. If you see something bad in old age, if it is not good, I will go to you and let you take care of us."

I laughed and said, "I'll know when the time comes."

After dinner, the second sister and the second brother-in-law stayed for a while, chatted for a while, and went back at three o'clock. The second sister said that Xiao Hehe had school at four o'clock, and she had to go home to cook for her.Mother packed the leftover dumplings and asked the second sister to take them back, saving the cooking time and warming them up for He He.

After the second sister and second brother-in-law left, my mother asked me when I would return to the provincial capital, and I said tomorrow.

My mother said: "Go back, even Lin Yan is afraid at home." Then she asked me: "Can I bring something with me?"

I said: "I don't need to bring anything. The things my second sister brought are enough for me. Xiaomi can't take those things. Two catties is enough. In two months, the Chinese New Year will be over. By then, no one will eat for nothing." gone."

Mother said: "If you can't bring it, don't bring it. I will bring new ones when I come back during the New Year. I see that your second sister brought you a lot of salted duck eggs and salted goose eggs. I will cook them for you in a while. When they are cooked, you can take them. It’s a waste of time for you to cook it at home, and you don’t even have a refrigerator at home, so it might break down if you don’t fix it.”

I said: "I'll cook in a while, you just need to rest."

My mother said: "I'm not tired, I'm active. You can buy a refrigerator when it's hot in the past year. It's not bad to put things in."

I said, "Well, buy one for Chinese New Year."

"If you don't go back to work, go to Lin Yan's house to see her mother." The mother said: "There is no one like you. The girl has been with you for almost a year, and she doesn't say to go and see her."

I said, "Got it, let's go and see. If I don't go to work, I will go myself."

My mother looked at me and said, "You don't need to listen. I know that I will support the girl. If the son-in-law never comes, he will think about having conflicts with the girl. If he doesn't do it, he will fight. A son-in-law who is half-hearted, you are also a son. You have to take a look."

I said, "Don't worry mom, I'll definitely go."

This time back to the provincial capital is not like every time I go home and have to go to work, the whole time is quite tight.This time, don't worry, I didn't take the early bus, and planned to take the [-]:[-] am bus from home.It is convenient to take a car at my house. You can take it to the mine, go straight to Beipiao City, and then change to a bus or train at Beipiao, and you can go to the provincial capital on the same day.

After packing up my things and saying goodbye to my mother, I got on the bus and set out for the city.

This time I stayed at home for quite a long time, and when I left, I didn't feel as bad as I did last time.

Seeing that my mother is in good health and living a good life, I am relieved that I am no longer as worried as before.Seeing that the homes of my sisters are also very good, they are not as difficult as before, and every family is doing well, which is also a very happy thing.So life is about living, no matter how good life is, if you don't live it without heart and lungs, you will be finished.Being poor, suffering, or tired is nothing. As long as you have the heart and are not afraid of suffering and suffering, God can see that life will get better day by day.

This time I went home and saw that all five sisters were doing well. Apart from being happy, I was also very motivated. The life of my sister’s family has started to improve, and I have to live my own life well. they fall.

The thing that makes me most gratified and relieved is my mother. In the first two years, I was anxious to get angry because of my marriage. Now that I have a partner, and I have settled down. I will get married during the Chinese New Year. My mother feels relieved and is not so anxious to get angry. .What's more, in the past few years, the family's foreign debts have disappeared, and life is getting better. Everything goes well, the quality of life has also improved, and my mother's old age has begun to improve.

My mother has been tired and suffered all her life, and she should be fine in her old age.

Mother is not worried or tired now, no one makes her angry, and she is in a very good state of mind.Once a person has the spirit, he will live with vigor and enjoyment.My mother is like this now, she is in good spirits, in good health, in a good mood, and has a good life. No one makes her angry. She comes back every now and then, although she leaves after a meal, but the old one just wants you to go home and have a meal, and she will be happy watching you eat.

I often go home and have a look, this song is so good, it’s true.

Sitting in the car, watching the familiar hometown retreat quickly, I knew it was time to go out and work hard again.

Now my heart is very full. When I go home, it seems that my heart has been washed again, and I feel relaxed and indescribably at ease.

Home is a warm place, a place to heal children who are away from home, and a place full of deep affection.

Every time I go home, there will be a kind of inspiration and touch.

I still remember the way my mother looked at me when I came out to work for the first time. The eyes were full of helplessness and bitterness, as well as her reluctance and concern for me.

I walked out of the house with tears in my eyes, and the tears couldn't stop flowing from my eyes after I went out.

My mother, my son doesn’t want to be poor like this, he wants to go out and find his own way, to go out to earn money, to make this family rich, and to live a good life with you!
My mother, my son doesn't want you to be looked down upon when you go out, let alone go out to work when it snows in winter, and don't want to—
Don't want to leave you alone at home, but I have to get out.

At that time, going out to work was the only way out for me.

It's been six years, six years, although I can't see any changes in my home, but I know that my home is no longer what it used to be.Now that my mother is walking in the camp, the villagers look at her with envy and jealousy.

This is not my own credit, but the joint credit of the six of us.Because that is the mother who gave birth to us and raised us. If the mother can raise us six siblings, we must let the mother enjoy her old age and take care of her family.

Just like Fifth Sister said, we must take good care of our mother.
