After eating, the two children went into their rooms and began to do their homework. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Dongmei washed the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen and came to Taotao's bedroom.
Taotao's homework was written quickly, and just as he was working hard, he suddenly saw his mother walk in.
He looked back and said in surprise, "Mom, why didn't you prepare the ingredients for tomorrow's dinner and came to my bedroom?"
Dongmei looked at the scribbled homework and said, "Mom came over to supervise the two of you in your homework, and after you finished your homework, Mom will go to work in the kitchen." ”
Tao Tao said anxiously while writing his homework: "Mom, when we finish our homework, you will work again, won't it be a waste of time?"
Dongmei said: "It's okay, if it's too late, my mother won't be out of the stall tomorrow." ”
Hearing this, Taotao looked at Dongmei in surprise and said, "Mom, why don't you come to the stall, after I finish my homework, I'll go to the kitchen to help you." ”
Dongmei patted Taotao's head and said, "It's okay, you write slowly, whether your mother will sell food in the future or not is it another matter?"
Hearing that her mother didn't sell food, Taotao's eyes widened, she looked at Dongmei and said, "Mom, is it that Teacher Zhang talked to you, so you don't sell food?"
In another house, Nana, who was doing her homework, heard that her mother was no longer selling food, she happily put down the pencil in her hand, rushed to Taotao's bedroom and said, "Great, great, Mom doesn't sell food anymore, we don't have to eat unpalatable buns in the future." ”
And Tao Tao retorted Nana's words: "Nana, you fool, what do you know, the job of selling food is my mother's career, and my mother has not succeeded, how can I give up my career?"
Hearing this, Nana stopped talking and stood beside her brother and Dongmei in a daze.
When Dongmei heard Taotao's words, she didn't expect that little Taotao would understand herself so well, and she also knew success and career.
She smiled and said, "If your mother delays the two of you in your studies in order to sell food, then your mother would rather give up her career and not sell food." ”
Tao Tao frowned and said, "My recent exam results are very good, and my mother didn't delay our studies because of selling food." ”
Nana also said, "Although we didn't have exams in the third grade, I got my homework right every time. ”
Dongmei listened to the words of the two children, she knew that the children knew the importance of learning, and knew that if they didn't study hard now, they would not be able to live in the future.
However, even though the children's academic performance has not decreased, she feels that she is still a lot negligent in managing the children.
When Dongmei told Taotao all the conversations between herself and Teacher Zhang, Taotao suddenly realized that it was her own problem that caused her mother to give up her career.
So Taotao assured Dongmei: "Mom, I must not be in a hurry to write in the future, I must write stroke by stroke, and then write a diary and writing essay, I will not be off-topic, I must write according to the rules and regulations given by the teacher, so that the teacher will not look for you again." ”
Although Taotao has promised Dongmei, Dongmei still shook her head and said: "Although you promised, but if there is no supervision from your mother, it will still be a symptom but not a cure, so your mother still decided not to sell food, concentrate on taking care of you and Nana, supervising your studies, and raising you to become adults." ”
Hearing this, Tao Tao was stunned, he suddenly cried out and said: "When my father left, I told me that the reason why my mother worked so hard to sell food was to earn money for me and Nana to go to college, and now that my mother doesn't sell food, I won't have money to go to college in the future." ”
After speaking, Tao Tao cried sadly.
Seeing Taotao crying, Dongmei was amused, it turned out that the child had been working so hard to help himself again, in order to make more money for himself, and then let them go to college in the future.
Dongmei comforted Taotao and said: "Silly boy, although the current college has begun to pay for itself, but the 10,000 or 20,000 yuan you went to college has already been saved up by your father and mother." ”
After finishing speaking, Dongmei stroked Taotao and said: "Silly child, don't cry, if you are admitted to college in the future, your parents will smash pots and sell iron, eat chaff and choke vegetables, and they will also provide for you to finish college, not to mention that your father's salary and bonuses are rising every year, let's take out one or two thousand yuan from the bank, there is still no problem." ”
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Taotao's face, but he still choked up and said: "As long as my mother and father have saved enough money for my college education, then my mother can not go to the farmers' market to sell food." ”
Hearing this, Dongmei couldn't cry or laugh, and said in her heart, a child is a child after all, it is really innocent and cute.
Dongmei supervised the two children to finish their homework, and then watched them review what they had learned before, and preview what they were going to learn tomorrow, Dongmei was completely relieved.
At nine o'clock, after the two children had washed up, they went to bed.
After Dongmei finished washing, she habitually walked into the kitchen.
She looked at the kitchen, not moving, and she realized that she would not be out of the stall tomorrow to sell food.
After the lights were turned off, Dongmei lay on the big bed alone.
She opened a pair of dark eyes, looked at the ceiling, the wall skin that Ma Shan was about to fall, and said in her heart, Dongmei, Dongmei, are you really ready to give up your career?
In the sound of doubt, Dongmei unconsciously fell asleep.
At four o'clock the next morning, Dongmei got up from bed on time.
As usual, she rushed into the bathroom, and after a hurried wash, she began to work in the kitchen.
But when she looked at the empty and big basin, she realized that she would not go out of the stall today and rest today.
Obviously, Dongmei, who has been accustomed to a busy life, suddenly rested so violently, she couldn't adapt to it for a while.
Dongmei went back to bed, she tried to close her eyes, ready to sleep in the morning.
However, Dongmei, who was lying on the bed, had been brewing for a long time, but she had never been able to fall asleep.
She tossed and turned, tossing and turning, and finally got out of bed.
Dongmei, who got up from the bed, first sat on the edge of the bed for a while, and then she looked out the window in the dark, and said in her heart, at this time in the past, the kitchen light was already on, and she was busy inside.
But today, although I woke up, I stayed in the house and did nothing.
Dongmei walked around the house, then took out all the children's dirty clothes and her own dirty clothes, sat in the bathroom and began to wash clothes.
After a while, the clothes were washed.
Dongmei looked at her watch, it was not time yet, so she started cleaning again.
Until Dongmei cleaned up the whole family, it was not yet dawn.
Dongmei emptied the garbage in the dustpan into the trash can, and then looked through the window to see if there were any family members who were moving things to the farmer's market.
But after watching it for a long time, there was no one.
Dongmei sighed, when she usually gets up and is busy in the kitchen, time flies so fast, she always feels that there is not enough time, and she hasn't done anything yet, it's half past six.
But today, I feel that time is surprisingly slow, even to the point of making Dongmei outrageous.
She always felt in her heart whether time had really stopped, otherwise why would it pass so slowly.
Dongmei found a stool and sat down, then turned on the kitchen headlight, and did nothing, just sat inside, looking at the cold board and the rusty liquefied gas tank.
The strange thing is that when Dongmei sat in the kitchen, the world was surprisingly fast, and it was half past six in a while.
Dongmei stood up and opened the window, she clearly saw that Sister-in-law Tan was riding a tricycle, and her three daughters were following behind, pushing and pushing, and were heading towards the farmers' market.
The moment she saw Sister-in-law Tan, Dongmei seemed to feel that the whole kitchen was heating up, the hot steam of the steamer, the steam of boiling water, and the aroma of porridge permeated the entire kitchen.
However, Dongmei took a closer look, and not only was there no fire in the entire kitchen, let alone the aroma of steamed buns and porridge.
Dongmei silently walked out of the kitchen and returned to her bedroom again.
Dongmei was lying on the bed, looking blankly at the small room, she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
After a while, the two children got up one after another, and after they had finished washing, they walked out of the house as usual and came to the farmer's market, ready to drink porridge and eat steamed buns at their mother's stall.
However, when the two children came to the farmers' market with their schoolbags on their backs, the location where their mother set up their stall every day, they found it empty, and then they remembered that their mother did not come out of the stall.
And when Sister-in-law Tan saw Taotao and Nana come out, she looked at the two children in surprise and said, "Dongmei, why haven't you moved things out yet, seeing that the morning market is about to start, it's too late to move things." ”
Taotao and Nana carried their schoolbags, and while going back, they replied to Sister-in-law Tan: "Aunt Tan, my mother is off today, and she won't come out of the stall." ”
Hearing that Dongmei was resting, Sister-in-law Tan's first reaction was that Dongmei might be sick, and the illness might be more serious, because according to Dongmei's character, even if she has a cold and fever, as long as she doesn't fall down, she will insist on going out of the stall and insisting on selling food.
So, Sister-in-law Tan asked the two children and said, "Is your mother sick, otherwise why don't you go to the stall?"
Tao Tao shook his head and said, "No, my mother said last night that she would never sell food again, so she didn't come out of the stall today." ”
Hearing this, Sister-in-law Tan's eyes widened, looked at the two children and said, "Dongmei's business is not the best in this farmers' market, and it is also the second, why doesn't she sell food?"
Tao Tao said: "My mother said that she would take care of me and Nana's studies, so she didn't sell food. ”
Sister-in-law Tan felt incredible and said: "I sell food every day, my three children, I have never deliberately taken care of their studies, they don't all study very well, why did Dongmei start to take care of your studies?"
Tao Tao said: "Teacher Zhang called my mother to school yesterday. ”
Hearing this, Sister-in-law Tan understood something, because Teacher Zhang also called herself to school.
So she said to the two children, "Since Dongmei didn't come out to set up a stall, then you two should come to eat at my table." ”
As she spoke, Sister-in-law Tan gave the two children ravioli and mash soup.
Although Tao Tao and Nana often hang out at this farmer's market, the two children have never eaten food from other families except for Dongmei's cooking.
When Tao Tao and Nana saw the delicious wontons and mash eggs, they drooled greedily.
Although the two children wanted to eat Sister-in-law Tan's food, the children remembered what Dongmei often taught them that they couldn't eat other people's food casually, which was very rude.
So, Tao Tao and Nana swallowed their saliva and thanked Sister-in-law Tan and said, "Thank you, Aunt Tan, Nana and I should go home to be good mothers." ”
With that, the two children walked home.
And Sister-in-law Tan was holding the wontons that had been fished out of the pot, and before she could stop the two children, the children had already walked away.
After returning home, Tao Tao and Nana walked into Dongmei's bedroom and saw Dongmei lying in the quilt with her clothes on, and the two looked at each other curiously.
Nana put her right index finger under Dongmei's nose, felt her mother's breath, and then said to Taotao: "Brother, why doesn't my mother breathe, my mother shouldn't die, right?"
Hearing this, Tao Tao was frightened and said, "What are you talking nonsense?" ”
As he spoke, Tao Tao also put his finger under Dongmei's nose, learning the methods in the TV series and feeling his mother's breathing.
