2022 "Xiaogu Cup" Essay 068: A face full of happiness

◎Lu Yurun

The flowers outside the window bloomed again and again, the grass under the tree became greener and greener, the swallows in the sky went and returned, but time has gone forever, Unconsciously, I have grown into a sixth grade student.

In this quietly passing time, we have experienced many things, and they all emerged in my mind one by one. Some made me laugh, and some made me burst into tears... But among these various things Among the things I did, the incident of cooking noodles for my family remains fresh in my memory.

htmlBefore the age of 08, I never touched the spring water. After the age of 8, I slowly started to become sensible and tried to cook. I remember the first time I fried an egg, it was as mushy as black coal. No matter what I did, I always succeeded but failed, which made me increasingly discouraged from my original confidence. Alas! It was too difficult!

On my 10th birthday, I vowed to Make a bowl of longevity noodles for yourself and your family. When I woke up early in the morning, I was very energetic. I couldn't wait to brush my teeth and wash my face. After eating breakfast happily, I was looking forward to my mother going out to work, and I almost looked through the door. Mom seemed to see my intention, glanced at me and told me a few things before leaving. I headed to the kitchen with excitement and searched for tutorials on the Internet. The full confidence of the past came back, and I thought to myself: Hey, it’s too easy.

Heat the pot, heat the oil, and put the eggs in. Watching the eggs sizzle and release oil, I relax my vigilance. As expected, I was confused! But am I the kind of person who would give up easily? Of course not. That day, I threw away the decadence of the past and continued to fry eggs, one, two, three... Haha, looking at the three golden eggs that were intact, I smiled with satisfaction. The strange thing is that I didn't give up because of this. I started to take out carrots and and cut them into pieces to carve "Happy Birthday", then blanch them in water until cooked. Of course, only my bowl had "Happy Birthday", hehe. . I strictly followed the online tutorials, and this bowl of soy sauce noodles turned out to be a success. It was really delicious and delicious!

When my parents came home from work and saw my masterpiece, my mother said happily: "My baby girl has grown up!" Dad! I also echoed: "Yes, yes." I nodded shyly and couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks for them to taste. My mother was dubious at first, and then she took a small taste. After a long silence, my father and I stared at my mother expectantly. My mother took another bite in a pretentious manner and said lightly: "It's really good, it's delicious!" After hearing this, my father also picked up the chopsticks and tried it, saying, "It seems really good. I have grown up." I felt so full of accomplishment after being recognized that I jumped three feet high with joy.

At this moment, I experienced happiness. I seemed to understand why I didn’t get discouraged before but persisted. Everything is traceable. What a beautiful thing happiness is! I will never forget this thing that made me grow. Things, I love you, my parents!
