The son returned to his hometown in the countryside to visit his parents, but could only stay at home for one day and one night. The next morning, he had to leave at 5:30 am. The night before leaving, the son and his mother sat in the old house chatting until late at night.
Before going to bed, my son said with some regret, "Mom, this time it was too hasty. When I have time next time, I will stay at home for a few more days to accompany you, and I will also have the chives dumplings that you personally made when you were a child. That taste is so delicious, I have been thinking about it all along
Afterwards, the son went to the inner room to sleep, but the mother didn't feel sleepy. She walked to another room and woke up her father who had already fallen asleep, saying, "Old man, hurry up and ask who has leeks in the garden. Say hello to him and cut some back. If the baby wants to eat leek dumplings, I have to make them for him
Upon hearing this, the father lying in bed immediately understood and said, "Okay, okay." Then he quickly put on his clothes and got out of bed. The mother said again, "Old man, be quiet and don't wake up the baby. He still has to leave tomorrow morning
At this moment, it was the late night of early winter, and it was very cold outside. My father began knocking door-to-door in the village, borrowing and cutting leeks from their vegetable garden. In winter, there were very few leeks in the garden, but fortunately, after knocking on dozens of doors, he finally found them. The vegetable gardens of each household in the village are far away from the village, and the night road is difficult to walk. It is already around 11 pm when my father finishes cutting the chives and returns home.
Next, the two elderly people began to choose chives. After selecting and washing over two kilograms of chives, it was almost early morning. Next is to roll out the dumpling skin and then wrap the filling. If all of this was done under bright lights, it wouldn't take too long, but in fact, they were all done under the light of flashlights - the two elderly people were afraid that turning on the lights would disturb their son's good dream.
All of this was done around 3am, and the two elderly people thought for a moment that they still had to cook dumplings. Why don't you just stop sleeping and boil some hot water for your son so that he can have hot water to wash his face as soon as he gets up.
At 5:30, the alarm on his son's phone rang on time. When he woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes, he vaguely smelled a familiar aroma, which grew stronger and reached its peak in the kitchen. A large pot of leek dumplings was rolling.
Seeing her son, the mother repeatedly said, "Baby, eat it while it's hot. Your favorite leek dumplings, brush your teeth after eating them." Eat it, eat it first, eat it first The father standing on the side helped his mother's voice and immediately put the dumplings into a bowl, handing them to his son with both hands.
My son never expected that his words would be taken seriously by his father and mother. Two elderly people in their sixties stayed up all night for dumplings. That's a bowl of hot chives filled dumplings, very fragrant, so delicious that my son feels like crying.
What comes to mind when you see this??
Parents are always the people who love and care about us the most in this world. No matter how we live now, our parents will never abandon us and give us unconditionally. Can others do it? Ask ourselves, do we deserve them? I hope that when you read this article, you can think about what kind of life your homesick parents are living now? What qualifications do we have to give ourselves so many excuses for not being successful! Do we really have to wait until they leave before we try our best
If you are also moved, pass on this love.
