There is a feeling called heartache

Chapter 19 A Bowl of Chicken

Over the years, there has been a knot in my mother's heart that cannot be untied. I understand that the knot in my mother's heart is her deep love for her children.

In the second year after the resumption of the college entrance examination, I was admitted to a famous university in the north and became the first college student in the history of the township.

On the night before going to school, when I was about to return home from work in the field with my father, I smelled a fragrance.Before I entered the house, my brother told me: "Mother killed the chicken, and I will give you meat tonight." The younger sister rushed to the side and said, "Mother told us that this chicken is only for you to eat." Eat, if you give it to us, we can't take it." My sister swallowed while talking.

I know that the hen at home lays an egg every day, and almost all the living expenses of the family depend on it.Walking into the kitchen, I saw my mother sitting at the mouth of the stove, adding firewood to the stove, and wiping tears.I said, "Mom, you shouldn't have killed the chicken."

The mother said: "My son is promising, and he will go on a long journey tomorrow. If you don't eat better, mother will feel uncomfortable."

During the meal, my mother put the chicken in a big bowl and brought it to me. The bowls in the middle of the table only contained some soup.My mother said: "Eat it while it's hot. Seeing that you are so thin, you should make up your body. You have to work hard in college." I used chopsticks to pick up a chicken leg for my father who bowed his head to pick up the rice, and my father returned the chicken leg. I gave another chicken leg to my mother, and when my mother hid, the chicken leg fell to the ground. My mother quickly picked it up, washed it and put it in my bowl, saying: "This chicken is cooked for you. Don't pinch and pinch."

Facing a big bowl full of chicken, I couldn't move my chopsticks.While hesitating, I saw my younger brother and younger sister stirring in the soup bowl, so I pushed the bowl in front of me to the middle of the table and said, "Both of you come and eat." My younger brother stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of chicken, and carefully looked at it. The mother glanced at him and saw that she was staring at him, so she quickly put the piece of meat back into the bowl, so the sister's chopsticks that had just been stretched out also retracted.I was so miserable that I put two pieces of chicken in the bowls of my younger brother and younger sister. They both put the meat back into the bowls, and picked up the spoons to drink the soup very sensiblely.The younger brother said while drinking the soup: "Chicken is stuffed between my teeth, I like soup." The younger sister also said: "I also like soup, but I don't like chicken."

With tears streaming down my face, I said to my mother, "Mother, let your younger siblings eat with me. How can I eat it by myself?" My mother had no choice but to agree, "You two should eat a little too. In the future, you will be like a child." Your eldest brother is also admitted to university, and I will kill chickens for you to eat.

At this time, a strong wind suddenly blew outside the house, and there were dripping raindrops on the tiled roof. The corn cobs in my yard were about to be soaked by the heavy rain, so we hurried out to harvest corn.When we returned to the house after work, we found that the bowl of chicken was missing, the bowl on the floor was broken into pieces, and the family dog ​​was still licking the leftover soup.

My mother was beating her chest anxiously, she was crying with distress, she kept blaming me for pushing back and forth, her brother and sister for not going out to join in the fun, and then she scolded herself for not putting the bowl of chicken in the cupboard. He also cursed that it shouldn't rain and that dogs are too harmful.

I persuaded my mother not to be angry, as if I ate the chicken, but my mother couldn't figure it out, and she was moaning all night.Early the next morning, my eyes were still red and swollen when my mother sent me off.Before getting in the car, my mother took my hand and choked with sobs: "You have traveled so far, and you haven't eaten anything good. Mom feels uncomfortable, and it's all my fault..." Then she started crying.

For many years, my mother has always had a knot in her heart about this matter. I understand that the knot in my mother's heart is the deep love for her children.

only you can appreciate me

The son cried and said: "Mom, I know that I am not a smart child, but you are the only one in this world who can appreciate me..."

At the first parent meeting, the kindergarten teacher said: "Your son has ADHD and can't even sit on the bench for 3 minutes. You'd better take him to the hospital." On the way home, the son asked his mother, What the teacher said, she had a sore nose and almost shed tears.Because of the 30 children in the class, only her son was the worst, and only to him, the teacher showed disdain.However, she still told her son: "The teacher praised you and said that the baby could not sit on the bench for one minute, but now it could take three minutes. Other mothers envy your mother very much, because the whole class is only for the progress of the baby. "That night, her son ate two bowls of rice for the first time, and she didn't let her feed it.

My son is in primary school.At the parent meeting, the teacher said: "There are 50 students in the class. Your son ranked 40th in this math test. We suspect that he has some mental retardation. You'd better take him to the hospital for a check." Walking out of the classroom, She shed tears.However, when she returned home, she said to her son sitting at the table: "The teacher is full of confidence in you. He said, you are not a stupid child, as long as you are more careful, you will surpass your deskmate. This time your tablemate is ranked 21st."

When she said this, she found that her son's gloomy eyes were suddenly filled with light, and his frustrated face stretched out.She even found that since then, her son's meekness surprised her, as if he had grown up a lot.When I went to school the next day, I went earlier than usual.

When the child enters junior high school, there will be another parent-teacher meeting.She sat in her son's seat and waited for the teacher to call her son's name, because every parent meeting, her son's name was always called out among the ranks of poor students.However, this time it was beyond her expectations. She didn't hear his son's name until the end of the parent meeting.She was not used to it, so she asked the teacher before leaving, and the teacher told her: "According to your son's current grades, it is a bit dangerous to be admitted to a key high school." After hearing this, she walked out of the school gate in surprise. At this time, she found her son waiting for her.Walking on the road, she held her son's shoulders, feeling an indescribable sweetness in her heart. She told her son, "The head teacher is very satisfied with you. He said that as long as you work hard, you have a good chance of being admitted to a key high school."

Graduated from high school.When the first batch of college acceptance letters came out, the school called and asked her son to come to the school.She had a premonition that her son was admitted to the first batch of key universities, because when she applied for the exam, she told her son that she believed he could be admitted to a key university.When the son came back from school, he handed her an express mail stamped with the Tsinghua University Admissions Office. Suddenly, he turned and ran to his room and burst into tears. While crying, the son said, "Mom, I know I'm not A smart child, but only you in this world can appreciate me..."

After hearing this, my mother was filled with sorrow and joy, and could no longer hold back the tears that had been condensed in her heart for more than ten years, and let them flow down, hitting the envelope in her hand...
