In my impression, this is the first time for Qian Kun to cook for me. Although these simple dishes on the table seem to have no appetite, I still feel very happy.

On the dinner table, to Qian Kun for a large bowl of rice, he put a piece of braised eggplant into my bowl.

After I put the eggplant into my mouth, Xiang Qian Kun was like a child, staring at my expression, as if eager to get my affirmation.

Only one mouthful, I was smoked by the salty taste in my throat and almost vomited out. Fortunately, I controlled it and swallowed it hard. Then I showed a strong smile.

Xiang Kun seemed to know that it was not delicious. He kept his eyes on me and asked, "how about it? Isn't it delicious? "

"Good, good." I smile, quickly to the mouth loose two mouthfuls of rice.

But this rice is also half cooked, eat in the mouth and a little sticky teeth, I did not say not delicious, still forced to swallow the stomach.

Qian Kun quickly grabbed a chopstick of braised eggplant. As soon as he put it into his mouth, he vomited it out, and then said with a sad expression: "this, it's too salty to eat or eat."

As he spoke, he was ready to pick up the dish. I raised my hand to stop him and said, "it's OK. I can eat. My taste buds are big. It's just right for me to eat."

Xiang Qian Kun also wanted to insist on doing it again for me, but I still stopped him. In order to prove my statement, I took several large mouthfuls in succession.

The rest of the dishes are either too salty or too light, too light is OK, too salty I really can't swallow, but still forced to smile.

While eating, he suddenly sighed to Qian Kun: "ah! In fact, dad used to cook very well. The best one was braised fish. Your mother was conquered by my braised fish But now... "

He said to Qian Kun and said another long sigh. Suddenly he wanted to stop talking.

I used to hate to hear from him about my mother, but now I want to know their story, so I ask him, "tell me about you and my mother."

After a silence, he took out a pack of seven yuan Baitashan cigarettes, handed one to me, and lit one himself.

Because I'm still eating and I don't want to smoke, but if I don't take it, I'm afraid that he thinks I dislike this inferior cigarette, so he reaches out his hands to take it down and continue to eat.

After lighting a cigarette to Qian Kun, he took a strong puff, then fell into a silence. After a long time, he began to say, "that was many years ago. When I was 15 years old, I went out to work with my fellow countrymen, and I learned to do business and sell vegetables with my fellow countrymen. However, the fellow countryman was found to be cheating on the scale, and my fellow townsman was beaten to death. I escaped the robbery only after I ran away At that time, your mother was in the dormitory of our factory. She had a small tailor shop. Your mother was very beautiful. She was really beautiful... "

When he said this to Qian Kun, the tears moved in his eyes. I didn't interrupt and touched him with a glass of wine.

He smashed his mouth and continued, "I'll go to her to mend the clothes in three days. Even if the clothes are good, I'll cut them and take them to your mother to mend them. At that time, it was very expensive to mend a piece of clothes. My monthly salary was basically spent on mending clothes Later, your mother saw through it. She said a few words to stop me. I thought she didn't want to see me, but guess what happened

I almost didn't react to come over, Leng Zheng just smile ha ha's return way: "difficult not to become she to come to you actively?"

Shaking his head to Qian Kun, he said, "that's not true. At that time, women were not so open. Later, she made a dress for me. It was made by her own hands."

"What about that dress? Is it still there? " I asked.

He was silent to Qian Kun, then lowered his head and whispered: "it's gone..."

I didn't speak any more. I nodded to him to continue.

He picked up his glass and took a sip of wine by himself and said slowly: "later I got up the courage to ask her to see a movie. At that time, it was a luxury thing to watch a movie. She even agreed. It was the first time I held her hand. Later, we often got together. I would go to see her every day after work. Slowly, we were together until we had you Marriage They are registered in the city, but her parents don't dislike that I am from the countryside. We live a good life, really good... "

After a long silence, I finally asked him, "I want to know why you chose to gamble when there were such good living conditions at that time."

He took two puffs of smoke to Qian Kun and said, "I said that I have to do it. Do you believe it?"

I have some do not understand what meaning, look at him doubtfully.

He shook the ash on his hand and half raised his head. It seemed that he had fallen into an unforgettable memory. After a long time, he said, "your mother was so excellent. There must be many people chasing her. I came from the countryside again. I was not confident. I was afraid that your mother would be robbed Later, I heard from a worker in the factory that money was coming fast. I went with him and won more than 8000 in the first night. Do you know how much more than 8000 was at that time? "Of course, I know that although there were no 10000 yuan households at that time, it was very difficult for an ordinary family to provide 10000 yuan.

I nodded, and he continued, "I went back the next night and won, but not as much as the first night. I only won more than 700 yuan."

I laughed and said, "the third night you went again and lost, didn't you?"

He nodded and said, "the loss is not much, just a thousand dollars."

"But you lost all the time, didn't you?" I answered.

He nodded again and sighed: "I always thought I could win back, but I didn't win back. Instead, I put all my savings in. Later your mother found out and begged me not to gamble. But at that time, I felt as if I had been led by a ghost. I couldn't get back."

"Did you know my mother had liver cancer?"

"Yes, we have prepared the operation cost. The doctor said that the operation can cure 60 percent of the patients."

"But you gambled that money, didn't you?" I pressed like a policeman.

Xiang Kun stopped talking to Qian Kun. He lowered his head and wiped his hands on his face. Although I couldn't feel the pain, as a son, I could understand his regret at that time.

For a long time, we didn't speak. He was drinking and I was in a trance. Now it's useless to say more. A family is so broken

After about ten minutes, these ten minutes are longer than an hour for me. During these ten minutes, Xiang Kun has been smoking and drinking, and I have been in a state of loss.

He finally put down his glass and looked at me and said, "Xiangnan, it's useless for Dad to say more now. If I gamble again, I'll chop my hand. Dad won't blame you."

I nodded back: "as long as you don't gamble, no matter what you do, I will forgive you. They say that there is no overnight feud between father and son, and I don't want to make our relationship so rigid."

It was the first time that Xiang Kun shed tears in front of me. That night, he cried like a child in front of me.
