every time Meng Qingqing comes home from school and pushes the door open, she doesn't see her grandmother greet her happily as usual: ”Qingqing is back, put down your schoolbag, wash your hands and eat!”
What she saw was that her father was wearing an apron, carrying a spatula and rushing out of the kitchen and saying, ”Qingqing is back. Wait a minute! The food will be ready in a minute
At this time, Meng Qingqing suddenly reflected that her grandmother had passed away. She left them forever, and she would never see her grandmother again. I can't hear my grandmother's voice any more. I can't eat my grandmother's cooking any more. Thinking of these, Meng Qingqing felt very sad.
Usually, after dinner every day, my father and grandmother watch TV in the living room. But now, Meng Qingqing is finishing her homework in the room. When she comes to the living room, she sees her father sitting alone in the living room watching TV. She suddenly feels that the living room is so empty and desolate. Meng Qingqing didn't know how lonely her father was at home after she went to school. How sad is the heart.
One day, Meng Qingqing came home from school and opened the door to see her father and uncle Yu drinking tea at home.
”Hello, uncle Yu!” Meng Qingqing said hello to Uncle Yu.
Meng Zijun said apologetically: ”Qingqing has gone home from school. But I forgot the time. I haven't cooked yet! Lao Yu, eat here. You sit down and I'll do it right away. ”
Meng Qingqing hurriedly said: ”Dad, you sit with uncle, I'll cook.”
Meng Zijun is not good at cooking. His cooking is not as good as his daughter's. After his mother left, he managed to make dishes that he didn't like to eat, so sometimes he simply washed the dishes and cooked them. When his daughter came back, he let her fry.
Meng Qingqing put down her schoolbag and went into the kitchen to cook. She recalled that when she entered the door just now, she saw her father and Lao Yu chatting and laughing, which was a rare smile of her father for a month after her grandmother passed away. Because of his father's smile, Meng Qingqing's heart also eased a lot.
Dad has already washed the dishes and cooked them in the electric cooker. Meng Qingqing quickly fried two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and made a soup. In half an hour, it's done.
Meng Qingqing put the dishes on the table, adding rice while saying: ”Uncle Yu, Dad, come to eat quickly.”
Lao Yu came to see the dishes and said to Mencius: ”Lao Meng, you are blessed! I have raised such a sensible and diligent girl. ”
Meng Zijun nodded with a smile, ”yes, I have nothing in my life. The only comfort is to raise such a good girl.”
Meng Qingqing handed the rice to them respectively, ”Dad, how can you praise your daughter in front of others?”
Meng Zijun hehe smile, ”also shy it!”
Lao Yu and his father were talking, and they talked opportunely, as if it was a business matter. When they said that they would invest in a certain company, Meng Qingqing ate in silence, adding food and soup for them from time to time.
It's rare for Dad to meet such a congenial person. As long as it's not too hard-working, let him do what he wants to do! It's better than being alone at home. Just like my father said, we should have a little bit of a dash to live, we can't sit and eat and wait for death!
