#新作者扶植计划 Issue 2 # When everything is forced to stop, I find that I haven't been in a daze for a long time. In a fast-paced life, you are not allowed to do this. Quietly clinging to the window sill, looking at the undulating mountains in the distance, you can see it. Thoughts came to mind, and even the memories that were forgotten in the depths of the soul were awakened...
It was a place I'd always wanted to go back to see, but there was never a line on the itinerary. You know, I want to take a snail for a walk. Such a pleasant pace, in the busy years, to achieve, is not a very easy thing.
"Mom, shall we go out and play?" It was a young me, and after my mother was busy, I often wanted her to accompany me for a small request. My parents did some small business during the day, and when they came home late, I liked to stick to them. At this time, my mother would always speed up the work at hand and tidy up the kitchen sharply. Hurry up and wash the handles, tear off the old towel on the pole, and wipe it clean. He said, "Go, go, go, little fart." He was lifting his feet and walking out, and then suddenly he turned back. Running into the house, he grabbed two melon seeds that he had cooked and stuffed them in his coat pocket. Don't forget to put a handful in my little pocket and say, "Go fast." I happily followed my mother, jumping all the way and half jumping, while sniffing a melon seed. The so-called going out to play is actually following your mother to the neighbor's house to sneak through the door. Listen to the adults chat and listen to them tell stories.
At that time, we lived in a long alley. Probably at that time, I was small, I didn't think the alley was narrow, but I felt quite spacious. The neighbors in the alley are very familiar with each other, and they will greet each other happily every day, and they can say a few words at any time. The children also played in groups, playing games and living at home, until their parents had shouted several times to eat, and then they reluctantly dispersed.
At that age, I didn't understand the difficulty of my parents, as long as I wasn't freezing and not hungry, I was very happy every day. Even if life is simple and simple, I still feel warm in my heart. But I was also worried about the arrival of the day, because at dawn, my parents went out very early. My three older brothers had to go to school again, and I was left alone again. I remember that when the third brother woke up, he carried his little green school bag like a postman. While coaxing me to play at a mother-in-law's house near my home. He often took advantage of my inattention, "whimpered" and ran away. Poor me, rushed to the door and cried out loudly: "Brother..." Let me cry until I couldn't make a sound, and he didn't dare to turn his head back.
At this time, the kind mother-in-law would stagger over and pull me to sit down next to her. Give me candy and let me watch her work. The floor of my mother-in-law's house was dark and dirty, and the house was very dark; during the day she was reluctant to turn on the lights, and the kitchen by the window would be brighter, and she was at the table to collect something. The mother-in-law's face and hands were covered with wrinkles, like the bark of dead wood. I was a little scared, and although I was still full of tears and my nose was flying, I would still sit down obediently, be quiet, and try not to make trouble. In fact, I am really grateful that she spent all those hours with me, a kind mother-in-law who I don't know who she is.
Childhood memories are usually vague. But there are many fragments that are so profound that when you remember it, you will connect the paragraphs one after the other.
It was a lively Lantern Festival. More than thirty years have passed, and then, there will never be such a Lantern Festival again. At that time, the people of the whole town would go to the center of the town to watch the dragon dance lanterns. At dinner, we quickly took a few bites to finish the matter, and then my mother carried me on her back and hurried into the dense crowd. At this moment, fireworks and firecrackers resounded through the clouds. Everyone consciously lined up on both sides of the road, chatting excitedly while waiting for the arrival of the dragon dance team.
"Here it comes! Here it comes! The man in front shouted. The sound of gongs and drums was getting closer and closer, and everyone was getting more and more excited. Mom lifted me up above my head and sat me on her thin shoulder, and I could see more clearly. "Mom, there's a float, and a big dragon!" I was so happy that I called out to my mother and clapped my hands. Mom shouted, "Look! Is there a little girl dressed as Guanyin, pretty? "It's so pretty!" My eyes widened, afraid I wouldn't be able to see it.
Dazzling caravans of colorful lights and teams of dragon dances are pouring into the sea of people, which is dazzling. Laughter, shouting, cheering, endless streams. Thunderous fireworks resounded across the sky. Frightened, I hurriedly covered my ears and laughed with excitement at times. Mom tugged at me tightly and protected me. Brilliant fireworks, shining on our faces. Sometimes, happiness is so sweet.
When the hustle and bustle receded, people all went home. The crowds are still quite large. After squeezing back home, my mother noticed that I had one less new shoe on my foot, and I didn't notice it. Mom seemed to be distressed and went back to look for it. I waited at home and fell asleep, and later, my mother must not have been able to find it. The more I grow up, the more I know that my mother is not easy, and the more I can feel that my mother's heart is deeply in love with me.
Dad probably always went out on business. Every time I came home, he liked to hold me and prick my little face with his beard and make me laugh. He always asks me, do you love him? Do you love when you grow up? Without hesitation, I exclaimed, "Love! When I grew up, I wanted to buy cigarettes and wine to honor my father. "What about Mom?" "I'll make egg soy sauce rice for my mother to eat." After listening to me, my parents couldn't help but laugh. They all teased me and said I had no conscience. But at that time, I thought that egg soy sauce rice was the most delicious meal. In the rice that is not yet fully cooked, beat in a few eggs, cover and continue simmering. Then, spoon a large bowl of rice with eggs. My brothers and I served a bowl each. Drizzle with some lard and pour a few spoonfuls of soy sauce. Start stirring the eggs and mix well. In this way, the rice is full of eggs! That's called a spray of incense! delicious! But now I feel that at that time, I was a fool.
Companionship is the longest confession of affection, happiness is to stick to the side of parents, eat anything feel fragrant. Although, in later years of growth, more parts were spun off from time to time. It is also the parents who do it for us and for the sake of life. We have learned to grow up, to learn to be independent, to care for and cherish. The love of parents is not less than a penny. They were the ones who sowed the seeds of love in my heart.
Once, I listened to the adults chatting. Mom talked about the various situations that the brothers encountered at that time. I couldn't wait to ask, "What about me?" What about me? Mom teased, "You, you little hungry cat, your mother picked it up on the road." Then they laughed, and I thought it was so funny that I forgot to ask again.
Later, I learned that my mother was not laughing at that time, and what she said was true.
