It was almost 8 pm when I came home from school yesterday. Teacher Chen is not at home. The two children have already had dinner and are studying in their own rooms.
Open Yuxiang's door, walk up to her and tell her daughter that we need 14 days of school and are not allowed to go home. I'll buy you something on Sunday. Okay, okay. My daughter can't wait to promise that when you are not at home, I must cook for my brother. My brother is too tired to study, so I have to supplement his nutrition. As soon as I walked out of my daughter's room, I heard her whispering, but no one nagged me all day. I guess I didn't hear her.
I went back to my son's room and told him that I needed 14 days to eat and live at school. I will buy him anything he needs tomorrow. The son said flatly, nothing, don't buy it. If you need anything, my sister and I will buy it.
Suppose I'm not at home today, let my daughter experiment with two meals today:
Wake up in the morning and shout, Xiangxiang, I'm hungry.
Ok, I'll cook.
It takes about 40 minutes to cook the rice, not to mention the rice porridge with red beans, yam and lotus seeds. It's quite delicious, but it's a little less. The daughter said euphemistically: You can't eat too much. If you eat too much, you will lose your appetite next time, and you will be full.
noon
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes and dried noodles make rice delicious. My son is great. He doesn't even have soup. He will never finish my cooking.
After lunch, my daughter will go out to buy food. The son listened and said, Sister, let me push the tram out of the basement. You can't push it out. Tell me when you come back and let me push the tram into the basement again.
Two hours later, my daughter went home to buy food.
Ingredients purchased by daughter:
Adzuki bean, yam, medlar, red date, pumpkin, mushroom, black rice, etc.
My daughter also showed me the draft soup and recipes they made while I was away last night:
Write down what porridge to cook, what ingredients to put, how much to put and how long to cook.
Looking at it, I suddenly felt a little touched.
The daughter is actually more than one year older than her son. When her parents were not at home, she bravely assumed the responsibility of being a sister. My son, 19 years old and 1.86 meters tall, listens to everything my sister says in front of her. Fortunately, he has two children and takes care of each other when his parents are not around.
I remember when I just heard that I was told to stay at school for 14 days, I thought, what should I do if I am not at home? No, I have to go to the supermarket to buy food I have to wrap them some jiaozi and freeze it. I have to ...
It seems that my worry is unnecessary. Sometimes it really is: it's not that children can't live without us, but that we can't live without children; It's not that children can't do it, it's that we don't have a chance to show them.
I hope my worries are unnecessary. During my absence, the two children ate well, slept well and studied hard.
