Sister who likes "stinky beauty"

Yesterday, I talked to my mother on the phone and told me: "Your family has fewer people, don't buy too many New Year dishes!" "This has never changed in two years. Last year I always thought, "No, no!" Answering her, I choked back this year: "Mom, you might as well call him to talk about it, understand?" Mom was stunned on the other end of the phone and muttered, "Tell you to tell him!" Didn't buying too many dishes last year end up breaking down and throwing them away? I "Oh" a sound, hung up the phone and continued to paint, because this kind of thing does not need to be dinged and told, and it is useless to say it ten thousand times!

Last year, I told him solemnly: "Mom said you can't buy too many dishes!" He said not to buy or not to buy, but in the first few days of the New Year, the kitchen cabinets were always full, and I complained urgently: "Disobedient Oh, there is no refrigerator at home, and I am not afraid of breaking it?" He shook his head and said, "It's cold in this place and you don't need a refrigerator." Without waiting for me to speak, he hurriedly grabbed it and said: "Your favorite fried rice noodles and shark fin soup, which one does not need to be cooked with more than ten kinds of dishes, so is it not satisfied with the cabinet?" I was speechless.

The fried rice noodles and shark fin soup in his mouth are the must-have New Year dishes for my family for two years, in fact, where can I afford shark fin soup, all of which are crisp bamboo shoots, hair vegetables, shiitake mushrooms and other coriander dishes, his exclusive sour and sweet taste with fried rice noodles (recently changed to vegetarian fried rice noodles), deeply captured my appetite. In my family, without these two flavors, it is not counted as the New Year, plus a plate of scalded spinach as a "longevity dish", I have to look up and slowly eat spinach from leafy vegetables to vegetable stems, eating long-lived vegetables in such a strange posture, no wonder it is often fished to the throat, and I have cried and resisted in every way. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, he made an exception to make an exception to make a "longevity dish" and continued this "ritual", which I not only gladly accepted, but also happily photographed my embarrassment.

Presumably, this year's New Year's dinner is still the same, so I asked my sister, "Do you eat elixirs like this?" ”

"My favorite thing is eating snail powder!" Sister Shi replied to the question and smiled.

"Snail powder? What's so delicious about stinky baking? He sat on the couch and read the magazine. When I saw my sister sneak a glance at him, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Mr. Alas, in addition to stir-fried rice noodles and shark fin soup, what other dishes are there for the New Year?" I asked nonsensically. The gentleman glanced at me and said, "You don't like beef and mutton, so let's add a 'minced pepper fish head bubble cake'." I immediately turned my face when I heard it: "Is this dish still the same as last year?" He asked me, "What was it like last year?" ”

Hmm, it seems he'd long forgotten. I had to change my mouth and say, "I like to eat fish jelly!" ”

In fact, the fried rice noodles he made can also be eaten together, as for the chopped pepper fish head bubble cake, when eating it, I only saw a bunch of red peppers on the head of the fish that was boiled into a thin paste, but I didn't see a piece of cake with a large finger belly, when the paste was not good, the fishy smell was too big, and he didn't eat it himself. The problem is that my family's New Year dishes have always remained the same, with him who insists on not deliberately dressing up, and only seeking delicious dishes and not paying attention to the presentation, the reunion play in my home is obviously too gray and the joy is insufficient.

I yearn for a kind of reunion dinner posture, like the movie "Barbie's Feast" in the heart is really conquered by the tongue, with food to resolve misunderstandings, you say life briskly, there are laughs and noises, a meal may be an hour, two hours or even longer, cherish each other and be grateful. He has always been taciturn, the pace of eating is fast, thinking back to last year's Chinese New Year's Eve meal, he was busy for an afternoon and finally called for dinner, the atmosphere is still half hot, but he has eaten enough to leave the table, I can only lament that he destroyed the Atmosphere of the New Year, read in his red envelope to me, let it go for the time being, but this year's taste is like a full balloon being stabbed "sighing" and flying!

So I insisted on taking pictures of this year's Chinese New Year's Eve meal, just to prolong the taste of eating at home. At the same time, send it to my parents to see, look at the shadows, and let them know that their daughter is living well, although she is not dressed up, there is no beautiful dish, it does not hurt, I want to start from "loyal to life".

When it comes to taking pictures, he is also interested, telling me that when shooting indoors Chinese New Year's Eve meals, we should use the moon mode more, which can make the overall feeling warmer, if it is a daytime meal, you can first use natural light metering to determine the ISO value and aperture value, so that he said a lot, which is the opposite of his always taciturn, and finally reminded me who loves to shoot dishes alone: "If you want to make the picture full, pay attention to the digital camera to a flower (macro mode) state, and pay attention to stability, so that the photos taken are good." ”

As soon as his photographic theory came out, I was drowsy, this Chinese New Year's Eve what kind of mode to take care of, or quickly start my funny mode, follow him around to catch and eat, and record the busy appearance of the kitchen truthfully. I want to dangle the entire annual leave at home in this way, and secretly lengthen the "New Year's feeling" to an indefinite period of appreciation.

Perhaps at some stage of life, you will understand that the comfort of words is of little value, it will not help, and sometimes it will cause embarrassment to add fuel to the fire.

Last year, I encountered a hurdle that I thought I could not cross at the time, and the whole person lost his soul and was at a loss. One day, he suddenly returned from a long way away to drive me to the supermarket, and he continued to be quiet along the way; but whatever I wanted to buy, he let me buy, and paid for it, remembering that I bought a pair of wool slippers with winnie the pooh head to accompany me through the coldest and most painful winter in history.

"I know that now your face, your suffering, and the cruelty of fate, without giving you any psychological preparation, will push you from behind into the abyss..."

"I know! There is a poem in the North Island, 'The pigeon has the vision of the pigeon, always overlooking the high roof; the dog also has the vision of the dog, looking at the sidewalk and the feet of pedestrians; the mosquito has its vision, trailing people into human life, until it tastes blood'... Are you trying to tell me that? I interrupted him and asked.

He bowed his head in silence, nodded his head, and said, "Your vision, my vision, and his vision are all different, and each has its own subject to be repaired." "In the supermarket, he pushed the shopping cart, and I took his arm and walked back and forth like this, and I didn't buy a single thing, so painstakingly enlightening and persuading me.

I nodded. He looked at the shelf and asked, "Still thinking about something?" I looked at his lips and shook my head again.

"There is a little bit of hurt here, a little hurt there, everyone has a lot of holes in their bodies, but we can bear it, because we have hurt others to some extent, we are both perpetrators and victims, so we can forgive others and ourselves." 」 Do you understand? He said slowly and asked me.

I suddenly cried, "But as soon as you go out, you won't come back for a long time!" ”

He stood still and looked at me without a word. My heart was full of grievances, and I looked at him with tears in my eyes.

I noticed that there were two aunts on the side who were still shooting with their mobile phones, and they looked around again, as if to see if there was a camera or something around, to make sure that it wasn't after filming, and then they pushed the shopping cart away.

"But you know, every time I come back, I always accompany you and bless you. No words, does not mean no encouragement, no meeting, does not mean that you do not miss, are you right? Why be sad about it? He said and kept walking.

I thought that I was already reticent enough, or I provoked some right and wrong, right and wrong, but his words made me always remember: "You are a person, your heart and eyes are too small." This sentence is like a knife carved on the wall, and it has not been extinguished by me—there are doubts, there are doubts, there are disagreements; and whenever I am depressed in the future, this sentence will loom, as if it were a tight curse.

I did listen to it, and as I got older, I understood that the truth remained the same, but I did more and said less. Occasionally, I can't help but want to develop a long road, so I try to turn the essay questions into short answer questions, and the short answers into multiple choice questions; it is really impossible to simplify the complexity in this way, so I go home and write in the words, and when it is too late to write, I smile, smile like an angel, and smile with it.

"Do you have big eyes?" Why can't I tolerate even a small one? I've always been obedient, but I found it too much of a failure. "I finally couldn't hold back my words. He should not have known that my depression was not caused by careful eyes, but because of him. I just want him to make a promise to me personally, and even if I die with this promise in the end, I am satisfied, and my heart is always happy.

He stopped abruptly, glanced at me and sighed and said, "Alas! Anything can fail, and now it seems that there is no failure in love, even though love often makes people's heads bleed and scarred. Needless to say, there are some truths that everyone understands, but there are very few who really do it, let's go home! ”

Coming out of the supermarket and returning, on the way I looked at him stupidly as he drove and thought, I can endure any failure, the only thing I can't stand is the failure in love.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > homely</h1>

Aunt Dolma suddenly came, and when she entered the door, she said, "Xiao Shi, my cousin has come from Delingha, and wants to see you, so come to my house and sit down!" "I went to greet him and went to Aunt Dolma's house with my sister. He nodded his head in agreement, without saying a word, without raising his eyes.

Aunt Dolma's cousin was seventeen years old and opened a restaurant in Delingha, but she had started a family early, her face was too fat, she was wearing gold and silver, and I didn't dare to get too close to her, so I sat down next to my sister. My mind was full of the indifferent look he had just had, and my sister and Aunt Dolma's cousin were chatting happily, but I didn't listen to a word.

Aunt Dolma saw that my face was not very good-looking, and asked me with a smile: "Are you arguing again?" ”

They immediately stopped laughing and set their sights on me. I brushed my lips and said, "It's good to argue, people don't bother to pay attention to me." "Looking at my face, I was not very happy, and my sister shut up and didn't speak.

Aunt Dolma asked me a moment later, "Will he tell you about his heart?" ”

"Sometimes it doesn't. Whether he says it or not, as long as he doesn't leave me, he will do whatever he likes in his heart! I said firmly.

"Why is Lu Han here?" Aunt Dolma smiled and asked her sister, a pair of eyes looking at her.

Sister Shi rolled her eyes at the ceiling and said, "What's the matter with me?" Not my share. ”

Aunt Dolma looked at me with a smile again, tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Oh! Xiao Shi, after three years, what are you afraid of him doing? You take the initiative to ask him, he is not good to talk, you scold him! If it were me, or if you didn't talk to me, I would beat him! One sentence made me laugh.

"No, it's not! When he was in a bad mood, I asked him if he had anything on his mind? Why do you always have a deep frown? He never answered me head-on. But last night I heard him talking to a friend on the phone, and at the end of the conversation he said to him, 'It's okay that you can talk.' I was really about to cry. You say Uncle Yangjin will be like this? I kept talking about my grievances, and there was no room for Aunt Dolma to interject, but my mind was directly around his sentence "It's good that you can talk."

"Yang Jin? Is he that romantic? He's just a rough guy. Aunt Dolma hurriedly waved her hand and said.

At the party, before the four-person bench was hot, they listened to Aunt Dolma and her cousin start counting the men in the family. Aunt Dolma's cousin said: "The dead man in my family asked him to help me wash the dishes yesterday, and he actually said that he was busy watching "The Mummy 4" and was not available! Aunt Dolma said: "That's nothing, on my birthday, I asked my husband to invite me to the restaurant to celebrate, he actually said that the children are so old, what birthday." I actually joined in, not willing to show weakness, and criticized: "I am more pitiful, we have been together for three years, he would rather look at the sky than look at me." Aunt Dolma's cousin said, "That's at least to see the scenery, but the dead man in my family knows every day to look at the Tibetan mastiff in the family, and whenever he has time, he will look at the dog's eyes for half an hour, and he doesn't know what he thinks with the dog." Aunt Dolma smirked and said, "Your brother-in-law never takes care of me, he takes care of the two cows in the yard." I muttered, "Well, at least they held you in the palm of your hand before you got married, right?" But the one in my family still doesn't take me seriously! When the words were finished, Aunt Dolma and her cousin both laughed.

Aunt Dolma covered her mouth, smiled and leaned forward, and then said, "Haha, Xiao Shi, look at your two big eyes turning around, ahem! Why are you so cute! ”

Sister Shi suddenly put her face to my ear and said, "Hey, are you crazy?" The two of them are talking about their husbands, talking about their husbands like pigs' heads, what about you? What do you mix with? ”

A word suddenly woke me up! When did I unknowingly get into the role? I didn't dare to look at them, and suddenly I felt red in the face, and I was so ashamed that I didn't know where to hide.

Aunt Dolma seemed to see my "囧" and hurriedly said, "Oh roar, sir is really good to you, take the initiative to help you wash the dishes, wash your clothes, and dry your clothes." I replied shyly, "He keeps me busy studying." ”

Aunt Dolma glanced at her sister and said to me, "Your husband has culture and does not understand the mood in life, you must create a little interest at any time, so that you will not feel boring." I smiled bitterly and was speechless.

Aunt Dolma's cousin then said, "Yes, you can spoil your husband, you look so beautiful, you sprinkle petite, he will not collapse immediately?" I am born to like to be spoiled, but also know how to be funny, when I am not five times, I will lie to my husband, he will hurt me! ”

Oops, scared me to death! I looked nervously at my sister and saw her with a black face pretending to look at her phone.

In fact, between husband and wife, the wife and the husband say some spoiled words, it sounds like it is very "meaty", in fact, the husband and wife should be very intimate, not only the wife should be with the husband to coddle, say good words, when the husband, may also wish to talk to the wife, praise the wife a few words; both sides can create some life interest, say some sweet words, I believe that the couple's emotions must be more long-lasting.

But what right do I have to coddle in front of him? For what reason, in what capacity?

Aunt Dolma deliberately glanced at her cousin and pretended to be reproachful and said, "You are less nonsense, Xiao Shi is not yet married, where is the husband?" Aunt Dolma's cousin covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes looked at me for a moment, and then she looked at her sister for a moment, and asked strangely: "Then you just said that for half a day, who is that one?" ”

When the sister finally broke out, she got up in vain and said in a bad way: "I went home to read a book!" Let's talk! Saying that, I quickly and obediently followed, leaving Aunt Dolma and her cousin looking at each other.

I understand

Once upon a time, I always thought that at home he would only be stupid and wasteful, but he could have a very good conversation with others on the phone. Putting down the phone, he looked gloomy again, and I said angrily, "Is it fun to go and talk to someone else?" He said, "I'm happy every day!" I'm very idle here, and there's no burden, why don't you say I'm happy? At that moment, I was suddenly very happy, he still had old friends to chat with him, and I also realized that I did not want him to be happy, but to satisfy myself, I hope that he will be happy because of me, and become what I expect."

"Everyone has their own ideas, their own happiness, how to think, whether they want to be happy, can only be decided by themselves." So now, for the way to get along with him, uphold: as long as he is safe and healthy, I will do whatever he likes in his heart! The years are ticking, and in the blink of an eye we have gone through three years and entered the fourth year. In the past three years, the things we used to get along with often inadvertently appeared in front of our eyes and haunted the depths of our memories.

The impression is that he stayed in the study almost all day, either reading or writing. He attaches great importance to my academic performance and conduct, and if he does not meet the standards or makes mistakes, he will be called to him to explain the reasons, plus he is introverted and taciturn, and he is a typical strict teacher.

In the afternoon, I suddenly saw him in the kitchen collecting fish, just because I said in the morning that I like to eat fish jelly.

In fact, he is very clumsy in cooking and cooking, and even in daily life, he often lets his shoelaces fall to the ground because he cannot tie his shoelaces. Once again I couldn't look down, so I squatted on the ground and helped him tie his shoelaces. Since then, he has not understood the laces when he takes off his shoes, but still keeps them as they are, and when he wears them again, he pedals in and says, "This is much more convenient, just like shoes without laces." "Of course, I don't, every time he takes off his shoes, I take off the laces, wipe them inside and out, clean them and then tie them."

My brothers and sisters are very afraid of him, more precisely, they are quite afraid of him, and they all look for him to solve big and small things, and usually try to stay away from him. Only my only closed disciple, coupled with my young age, enjoyed the privilege of objecting to him, opposing discipline that I thought was inappropriate, such as not cutting first and playing later, not wearing miniskirts, etc., because I dared to fight hard, and in the end he gave in. Looking back now, although my mother would help me intercede at that time, in fact, his severity was only on the outside, he was willing to accept my opinion, and his bones hurt me the most!

However, a person who can't even tie his shoelaces, is the fish jelly made delicious?

Secretly looking at his back to collect the fish, the moment he turned his face, I couldn't help but wet my clothes with tears.
