"What? Chicken soup?" My mother exclaimed, "Don't everyone say that chickens can't be eaten! Even the chicken sellers say so."
"Could it be that people who live in the neighborhood, kill chickens and sell vegetables know better than doctors?" Actually, I remember that I had told my mother before, but after hearing what she said, I had to explain again, "Doctors in Nanjing have already As I said, as long as you don¡¯t eat roosters among the chickens, it¡¯s fine. Mom, you sometimes have a clear distinction between who should listen to and who shouldn¡¯t"
"How can she tell the difference?" My father immediately interrupted my words and said in a sarcastic tone, "How can she listen to what we say? But those uneducated grandmas in the neighborhood, Even if she farts, she will regard it as an imperial decree."
I can tell that my father is quite dissatisfied with my mother! In order to avoid further escalation of the conflict, I hurriedly continued to explain before my mother got angry: "Mom, it's actually very simple. You just need to remember what you can't eat. You can't eat roosters, ducks, geese, and seafood. Others can be eaten." There are no taboos anymore. Therefore, it is still okay to eat hen soup and hen chicken once in a while.¡±
My mother saw my intentions, and she was too embarrassed to argue with my father, so she was upset and forwarded her anger to me. "This and that, who can remember? It's not like you don't know about your dad. You eat a little bit every time. Especially vegetables, you don't allow them to be eaten the next day. How do people buy them and how do they do it? According to what you said, every meal is different, I'm just busy cooking for your dad every day, I'm afraid I don't have enough time. It's easy to say, come if you have the ability!"
My mother's sentence "Come here if you have the ability" choked me speechless all of a sudden. In fact, it's not that I "have no skills", the key is that I "have no time". Two days a day, maybe it¡¯s okay, but I¡¯m serving my father at home every day, so what about my job? What about the child? Could it be that I am really demanding of my mother? At that time, even I began to doubt myself.
I know it's useless to say more now. I walked out silently, got on my motorcycle, and went straight to the vegetable market in the town.
? It is not until you arrive at the vegetable market that you realize the difficulty of buying vegetables. It is indeed not an easy task to choose the right one from a large variety of dishes. In the case of being dazzled, there is often a feeling of being at a loss. I carefully selected some soy products and some green vegetables. This time, I was going to kill a chicken and go back, so I specially bought yams so that I can cook soup with the chicken when I go back.
After the shopping spree is completed, I go home immediately. Wash and peel the freshly killed hen and start cooking. After more than an hour, a pot of fragrant hen and yam soup came out of the pot. I followed the doctor's advice, and in addition to serving a bowl of chicken soup, I also carefully selected some of the freshest and most tender chicken. Maybe it's because he hasn't eaten chicken for a long time. After that meal, my father's appetite whetted his appetite and he said it was delicious. Not to mention the joy in my heart when I saw my father move his index finger. I think it's worth it, no matter how much time it takes.
Before going to the city, I specifically told my mother all the various vegetarian dishes I bought and my own ideas (how to cook them together). And taking this successful chicken soup experiment as an opportunity, I persuaded my mother to spend more time on cooking (for my father). I can see that my mother felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this. Fortunately, my mother saw that I was leaving soon, so she didn't say anything to refute. I also have the right to be a mother by default.
Back to the urban area, the more I thought about it, the more worried I became. In the evening, I finally made up my mind and called my sister.
"What's the matter?" My sister asked suspiciously.
"I delivered the medicine back today and found that Dad seems to have some problems with Mom." I said straight to the point.
"Is it because of the field work?" My sister knew her mother very well, so she asked guessing.
"Yes. Mom always thinks about the work in the field, which is the main reason why Dad has a lot of opinions on her. When I was alone, Dad once complained: In Mom's mind, the field is more important than him !" I didn't just give my sister an affirmative answer.
"Hey, how could Mom do this!" My sister reprimanded a little angrily, and then asked, "Could it be that you didn't persuade Mom?"
I replied helplessly: "Why didn't I persuade you. But in Mom's mind, the status of 'Tian' is indeed quite high. Since Mom thinks that Dad's current state of not-so-good will be delayed for a long time, I want to It's almost impossible for her to give up the farm work in the field and take care of Dad wholeheartedly. You don't know Mom's temper. If I say too much, not only will it not be effective, but it will arouse her resentment, and may even Tears streaming down my face. Hey, I really feel powerless about this."
"Could it be possible to continue like this? We have to find a way to change" My sister said with some distress after hearing this.
"What can I do?" I interrupted my sister and asked, "Why don't you try it. Maybe Mom can listen to your persuasion?"
"Okay, I'll try." My sister agreed reluctantly, "However, with my mother's temper, I don't think the chance of success is very high."
"Then what should I do? Dad's current situation can't stand such a toss (arguing with mother because of dissatisfaction)!" I asked worriedly.
"That's exactly what I'm worried about." The elder sister emphasized, and then said in a discussing tone, "Can this be done? I really can't persuade you, so let's just tell Mom about Dad's actual situation."
"At home today, I also had such an urge." I said in a dull mood, "But you don't know how fragile Mom is. After learning that Dad has esophageal cancer, Mom has been waiting for a long time. He washed his face with tears, and was so worried that he couldn't sleep for several nights. Didn't Dad once jokingly say to Mom: "Everyone tries every means to persuade the patient. But you are good, and I, the patient, will persuade you instead!" I'm just worried that Mom's fragile mind won't be able to bear it!"
"But that's not the case. Can Mom willingly put down everything and take care of Dad wholeheartedly?" My sister asked worriedly.
"Yes. Of course I know that. If Mom doesn't know the truth, not only is she worried about the work in the field, but she can't help bickering with Dad a lot of times. Hey, I didn't expect that Mom and Dad have been bickering for a lifetime. In the end, no one is willing to let anyone else go.¡± I lamented.
"I know, you want to take care of your parents." My sister said, "This decision is really difficult. But there are priorities. In this special situation, we have to make a choice." (Remember this Website URL: www.hlnovel.com
