Sun Qiaohui ● Troubled life

On the eve of his son's graduation, in order to facilitate his internship, he shared a private house with several classmates. Two boys, two girls, one of whom is a lover. The son said that they rented a three-bedroom apartment, bought their own groceries and cooked, and were very harmonious and friendly.

At noon that day, I asked my son what he was eating, and he said "stew". I said you did it? The son said that it was made by a female classmate, and her cooking skills were very good.

"Messy stew" and I are too familiar with my son, his father grew up in the three eastern provinces, is a typical way to eat in their hometown, that is, eggplant, beans, potatoes, radishes and other vegetables in one pot of cooking, called "messy stew" is really worthy of the name. Several dishes are entangled, some are soft and some are hard, and the soft ones always have to accommodate the hard ones, and they will become messy after a long time. I really can't get used to eating, but I always have to marry chickens and follow the local customs, and I can only eat half full every time.

So I asked my son, have you eaten enough? The son said he didn't eat and he wanted to throw up. Presumably, my son followed my appetite, he went to school outside, did not pay attention to his diet, and hurt his stomach again. So I said, don't force it if you don't like it.

The son went on to say that the female classmate told me the story of her parents as she did it.

"Mom." The son said, "Her parents, like the two of you, always quarrel and fight. ”

My son failed the college entrance examination and chose the wrong major, and he was depressed and dull throughout his college years, and he was silent, but now he took the initiative to communicate with me, and I was busy listening to encourage him to continue.

"Once you had a quarrel, and there was a pot of stew on the table with beans, eggplant, potatoes, and meat, but none of you ate it...... I wanted to eat it, but I took a bean and was about to put it in my mouth, when a shoe flew over and almost fell into the basin, and I didn't like to eat this dish ever since......"

Yes, but at that time, my son was still young, just over three years old, and it was Sunday, and my son was not in kindergarten, so I prepared the dishes and put them on the table, and went into the kitchen to get busy. His dad came back from drinking outside, and he didn't seem to be happy, and he was looking for me with red eyes. As soon as I had said a few words, he flew a shoe at me, and with my hand I blocked it, the shoe went off course, and flew to the table, where it landed beside the pot of stew. The son was leaning against the basin at the time, holding the beans in his little hand and was about to eat them, and he cried "wow......

"Today my female classmate talked about her parents, she cried as she spoke, and put the prepared dishes into the basin and put them on the table, and the beans were exposed on the outside of the basin. I used to have no appetite when I saw it, but now I want to vomit. My stomach churned so hard that I ran into the bathroom, slammed it down the toilet, and retched for a while......"

"The couple at the dinner table ate deliciously, frolicking while eating. The female classmate who cooks also eats very little, she doesn't have a boyfriend, and she, like me, is not in love......"

"The kitchen, the fireworks, reminds the girl of marriage, life, her parents...... She said she knew the cause of my vomiting......"
