In the short film, the three mothers proudly said, "He likes everything I do, and she eats everything I do ..." When the three children tasted the food sent by their mothers, they also said with tears, "Mom put all her thoughts on food, and the food cooked by her is the best, and the food cooked by her will always be my favorite." ... although this is only a public service advertisement, the screenwriter skillfully turned "food" into an emotional bond between mother and son. I can't cook when I watch this short film Although I envy the love and intimacy shown by the mother and son through food in the film, I am destined to be such a mother who has been taken care of by my mother for a long time.
But on my son's 14 birthday, I'm going to give it a try. I want to make him birthday breakfast and longevity noodles to meet the challenge and test of cooking for my son for the first time in 14 years. Do it. The day before my son's birthday, I looked up the recipes of "birthday breakfast"-"three-layer sandwich" and "longevity noodles" on the Internet, and went to the supermarket to buy the corresponding ingredients.
When I woke up the next morning, I immediately rushed into the kitchen and worked enthusiastically on the recipes on my mobile phone. First, grope for toast, eggs and ham sausage, then grope for tomatoes and wash lettuce, and finally fry eggs and carefully put the prepared ingredients into toast coated with ketchup and salad dressing. Because it was my first attempt, the whole production process took me a long time and almost delayed my son's class.
However, when I saw the surprise in my son's eyes, his desire to eat, and his satisfied expression, all my efforts were rewarded. Full of sense of accomplishment and pride, I think I gave my son the best birthday present. When my son went to class, I was still immersed in the long-lost happiness, while packing up the fruits of my labor. It is an unspeakable happiness to let children get happy maternal love through their own efforts.
This happiness lasted until lunchtime. Encouraged by the success of "birthday breakfast", I confidently rolled up my sleeves to make longevity noodles for my son. Boil water, add noodles, then add tomatoes, rape, shrimp, meatballs and seafood mushrooms ... Soon, a bowl of delicious "longevity noodles" will be released. My son loves face very much. He carried the bowl with a big smile on his face and swept away a big bowl of longevity noodles rudely. I am ecstatic about my son's support, and I am also encouraged.
When I sincerely expressed my gratitude to my son, I thanked him for not abandoning me and eating very clean when I first tried. My son gave me a naughty look, patted his chubby belly and said with a smile, "You're welcome. I'm not famous. That is, your sandwiches and noodles are very comfortable to eat. I like them. " This sentence makes me very happy and moved. For 10, who cooked my son's birthday meal for the first time in many years, such praise is enough to encourage me!
Recalling the meal on my son's 13 birthday, I either went out to eat or my grandmother prepared it. He never had a chance to taste the food his mother cooked for him. I can't help but think of an example I have seen: a mother in my circle of friends called to sell it to her son to celebrate his birthday, and attached a family photo before a takeaway meal.
Before I learn to cook, I will think it is a normal and natural thing. But after I learned to buy food and cook for my family, I think that only one porridge and one meal in life contains our whole-hearted love for our family. Because we need to pay precious time, energy and patience to cook a porridge and a meal ourselves.
Only when you really love someone can you give so willingly. This is the foundation of love, just as teacher Cai Yingqing said: "A delicious meal cooked at home has the power to soothe people."
My son's birthday dinner is a good dish specially prepared for him by his mother. For her son's birthday dinner, my mother specially ran from the north gate to the west gate a few days ago, bought all the ingredients and cooked her son's favorite dish.
Tasting my mother's familiar and warm dishes, I recall that my mother who likes cooking has always let her love accompany me silently in the food she cooks and accompany me through childhood to middle age. Even after I got married and had children, I have been silently accompanying and nourishing my husband and children through their years.
These long forgotten days suddenly reminded me that after I became a mother, I completely ignored the same maternal love conveyed to my children through food, because I was too dependent on and used to my mother's food. I felt my mother's love from her food. Over the years, my son only felt the love of his grandparents in the meals cooked by his grandmother, not his mother.
Fortunately, today, after 14 years, I finally sent my son a meal cooked by myself and told him with my labor and food: "Mom is willing to spend time and energy for you and integrate my full love for you into your meal." "
In the Thai short film "The Taste of Mom", a mother tearfully told her daughter: "Life is full of uncertainty, who knows what will happen in the future. So, let me teach you to cook a favorite dish when you were a child. When that day comes, my food will take care of you for me. "
This is also the love I want to give my son, nourishing his life with my own food. I hope that one day in the future, when he is not with me, he can still remember the meals cooked by his mother and feel the "mother taste" in her meals, so as to resist vicissitudes and gain strength!
