On the weekend, Mao Continent woke up early, lying alone in bed, bored with vibrato. Then get up, go to the kitchen refrigerator to take out two eggs, throw them into the cold water pot and cook them, turn around and scoop three tablespoons of milk powder from the milk powder bucket into the glass, go and boil the water from the kettle from last night, pour it into the cup, stir it with chopsticks a few times, and see a touch of yellow and white milk swirling out of the glass. The mainland used chopsticks to dip the milk, put it in the mouth to taste, some hot, and then went to see the pot, the egg was still lying quietly in the water, some small bubbles around the egg, he walked back to the table, took the milk with his hand, gently blew a mouthful, squeaked and sucked on the cooler milk on the surface of the cup, and a piece of milk foam appeared on the side of the mouth.

The mainland put down the milk cup and walked to the stove again, and saw that the water in the pot was boiling, and the two eggs were bouncing up and down in the water, touching the iron pot, making a cracking sound. He turned and took out a porcelain bowl, released cold water from the faucet, took out an egg with a spoon and put it into the porcelain bowl, and fished out a second egg from the pot and poured it into the porcelain bowl. The water in the porcelain bowl spilled out at once! The water that flowed out flowed down the black relative's stove and flowed until it reached the dishwashing sink by the stove, he wiped it with a rag, carried the porcelain bowl to the table, picked up an egg, tapped lightly on the table, exposed the egg white, and after a few more knocks, the eggshell was loose, slowly peeled off a circle of eggshells, took a bite, and flowed out of the yellow sugar heart.

At this time, there was a knock at the door outside the house, accompanied by a voice shouting, mainland, open the door, open the door, open the door...

"Mom, Dad, why don't you call me?"

WishIng Back (Short Story)

Mao's father and mother came into the house and put down the back basket, which contained peanuts with white flowers, fragrant plate ducks and bacon, long bulging sausages, round and slippery eggs, and wet vegetables...

Mao Mama looked at what was being eaten on the mainland table and said, the mainland loves to eat eggs, mom brought you the eggs, that is, the eggs laid by the old hen, while saying that she opened the refrigerator, a look at the empty inside, turned to look at the mainland, the tears flowed out, just counted up, you baby can't be so thrifty Ha, you should eat, you should drink, you see what you are thin into...

Mao Dad silently took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit a fire, took a sip, and stopped talking.

The mainland quickly took the plate duck in her mother's hand and said, Mom, what are you doing here, you still have to bring these things back, keep them at home to eat, but I eat well in the unit canteen every day, rarely eat at home, and someone invites me to eat at noon today! Forget it, you guys are coming, I'll call my friend back, I'm not going, I'll accompany you to dinner at noon.

Mother, while cleaning up the messy house, said, Mainland, we came to you this time to take you back to the bodhisattva to make a wish, you are ready to prepare, after lunch we will leave, go to the temple to give you a wish.

WishIng Back (Short Story)

It turned out that this year, the mother was always worried about the mainland, so she went to the temple to make a wish from the bodhisattva to bless her son with peace and security. On the 19th birthday of the bodhisattva in the 19th month of the lunar calendar, she would take her son to the temple to burn incense and make a wish. Mao Mainland is also a person who has studied in college, and does not care about the so-called activities of burning incense and making wishes, but there are indeed some customs in the rural hometown, which are difficult to change, plus in fact, it is also a kind of hope and love for the mother's child, and the health of each child affects the heart of the parents. Moreover, the elderly and far took a hard car to the city, and the mainland really could not refuse his father and mother.

Mao Continent smiled at Mimi and said: "Okay Mom, you say how to do, I went to buy some vegetables, after lunch, we went to climb the mountain, go to the temple, we burned a few more pillars of incense, and also prayed to the bodhisattva to bless you and my father with health and longevity, and the body is great!" The mother smiled happily and replied with a word, from childhood to adulthood, your baby can talk.
