—— The thirty of the "村.” "Series

□ Li Donghong

I made a dream last night. In my dream, I cook at home and cook two eggs. Although the dream is short, it is very clear.

The old saying in the countryside said that dreaming of cooking eggs is a good dream. I don't know if it is good, at least I wake up this morning, and I am still thinking about it. During breakfast, I also specially ate two boiled eggs.

Now, people's lives are good. Eating eggs is a commonplace. In the past, it was a luxury.

When I was young, I did n’t have any economic income at home. I raised a few eggs under the hens, and my mother was reluctant to eat. Most of them sold the eggs and bought some oil and salt to maintain their livelihood. So I rarely eat eggs, but on my birthday, my mother cooks two eggs for me. When eating, the mother also rolled on my head with the egg, saying that it was disaster.

Later, his father was not good at his body, and his mother was reluctant to sell the eggs and kept it for my father.

After cooking that day, my mother asked me to give my two cooked eggs to the father on the bed. My father took one directly and said, "Baby, you keep eating."

"No, I don't eat", I shook my head. Then walked into the kitchen and picked up the yellow corn cake made by the mother, the main food at the time.

When I was in high school, when I reported, my mother steamed more than 10 steamed buns, made two cans of bottle sauce, and cooked 6 eggs to let me bring it. I know that the six eggs were saved after a few days. "When you grow your body, you can also take your mind to school, and you take it to school to make up your brains." Mother said.

At that time, high school students came with dry food. When I was leaving, I brought two and kept the remaining 4 eggs at home. Mother is usually reluctant to eat, and her father needs it.

The winter vacation from the sophomore sophomore of Zhengzhou University happened to catch up with my birthday. Early in the morning, Niang made me two dishes, steamed buns and noodle soups, and cooked a few eggs. The mother peels an egg and handed it to my hand.

"Mom, you eat too." I peeled a one and put it on the mother's mouth. This time, the mother did not refuse. At that time, my father had died for three years, and the mother didn't have to save her father.

Later, when I lived in the city with me, whenever I was in my birthday, my mother cooked two eggs for me and looked at me.

However, whenever the birthday of the second mother of the lunar calendar in October, the two of us always have a small dispute. The reason is that the mother has suffered a lot. I want to take her to the restaurant to eat some delicious food, but she always doesn't go. The mother said, "I don’t go, the restaurant is too expensive, what should I spend the money?"

However, many times, I had to buy a cake and try to make some delicious food for the mother at home. Similarly, I also cook two eggs for the mother.

That day, my daughter peeled off an egg and handed it to her grandma, and then said "grandma, happy birthday, healthy and longevity" around her grandmother's neck, and the mother was happy and happy, and her face seemed to bloom a flower. , Keep saying, "My granddaughter has grown up, my granddaughter has grown up."

On the first day of the lunar calendar last year, after returning to the village in the village's customs to the tomb, I did not return to Zhengzhou because the next day was the birthday of the mother.

That day, I took two cooked eggs and came to the grave of the mother ...
