Day 20
I made porridge in the morning and mixed a plate of cucumber. I took out an iron plate of cucumber from the cupboard. The edge of this iron plate has knocked off the paint, revealing the black iron inside.
It is older than my age.
This is actually my mother's plate, two, the exact age is three years older than me. Why would such an old plate fall into my hands? How many years of denudation have they experienced, how many bumpy roads have been bumped, still living high in my cupboard, and being favored by me every day?
Let me talk about how my mother got this set of plates.
The old plate with painted iron
The date of my mom and my dad's marriage is the last day of 1965. One month before the marriage, my dad, as the militia platoon leader, took the militiamen from the factory to a field contest. My dad worked as a soldier and worked as a custodian in the factory after he was discharged. At that time, the Armed Forces Department came in with a Maxim. No one could use it. My dad could use it, so he was selected.
Everything before marriage was prepared by my mother and my aunt. My parents’ wedding room was borrowed from Dao Xia’er who lived in my aunt’s house. People nowadays may not know what Daosha is. It is a storage room next to the kitchen. The space of about four or five square meters, a kang occupies three-quarters.
My mother feels very satisfied. She has her own nest. She has made a new pair of quilts for her wedding. The quilt is satin and the quilt is red, with a picture of mandarin duck playing in the water embroidered on it. On the last day before the marriage, my dad finally returned from the field competition. That afternoon, my dad took my mom to the department store. My dad spent 32 yuan a month. He asked my mom to buy whatever he liked.
My mom wants to buy a pair of navy blue woolen pants, a sky blue woolen coat, and a Jiefang brand sewing machine. But my dad's salary was not enough, and finally my mom took a fancy to a long red scarf. However, my mother didn't buy a scarf because her eyes were caught by the tableware counter. There are all kinds of plates and bowls on the counter.
The iron plate my mother gave me
Before, my aunt prepared tableware for my mother to spend her life.I didn't let my mother buy it. But my mother fell in love with that set of four plates. There were four small iron helmets in bean green. My mother wanted to buy them, but she decided to buy two each because she felt it was too luxurious. My dad was very rich and said that day, can I use two? There will be a lot of children in the future, so you can't fight for war. Buy or buy four. Four plates and four small iron helmets were taken back by my mother happily, and the scarf was gone.
My dad didn't have a bicycle at that time, so the next day, he took some workers and relatives to walk to grandma's house to pick him up. These two iron plates and iron helmets were also taken back by my dad to their Xiaodaoxiaer, accompanied by their marriage, accompanied by the birth and growth of our four siblings.
I reached the age of marriage immediately. The day after I gave birth, my mother came to my house together in the back seat of my father's bicycle. My mother was holding a bag in her arms. She opened the bag as soon as she entered the house and took out a bowl of hot and fragrant chicken stew with mushrooms. It is the bean-green little iron helmet when the chicken is fashioned, and the two flower plates holding the iron helmet and the little iron helmet.
chicken stewed with mushrooms and potatoes
For more than 20 years, I rented a house, moved, and moved from my hometown to the city where I live now. These two plates and small Lu Haier has been following me to various houses. They were peeled off, revealing black rust. Even the little green helmet was accidentally leaked by me.
I bought a new house that year and wanted to throw away all the old things when I moved. After cleaning up with my son, I suddenly found that one of my iron plates was missing. The son said that after throwing it away, the paint fell off. God, how can I throw it? That is my treasure! I hurried out to look for it in the trash can. As soon as I walked out of the building door, I saw an old lady picking up tatters and lifting my plate from the trash can and leaving.
I rushed up and said to the old man, the plate you picked up is mine. It has a history of forty to fifty years. It was given to me by my mother. A commemorative plate was painted off. You can take it back. It's useless. The old man looked at me with his cloudy eyes, hesitating. I hurriedly said, "Well, ma'am, I have a newspaper upstairs. I will bring you the newspaper. Can you return the plate to me?"
this plate,Finally, I exchanged it with a large bundle of newspapers.
After moving to the new house, my mom and my dad came to the new house as guests, and my mom saw that this little helmet was missing. The next day, she and my dad went to the morning market to buy a kind of tape, and came back to stick it on. It was not leaked and it was usable again.
However, I was worried that they would be broken again, so I put them in the cabinet, as a memorial.
My mom bought the tape and the holes in the little green helmet
For more than ten years, I will buy a new set of dishes every Spring Festival, but after a period of time, no When it is broken, it is scratched. It is not as durable as when it was new, and it also lost the joy of just buying it.
Two years ago, the post office worker who sent me the newspaper and the manuscript delivery fee knew that I could write, and asked me to help him write a personal material for the award, and he gave me a set of tableware afterwards. I have been reluctant to use it, and finally used it last Spring Festival. After a period of time, scratches were also worn out, and I no longer moved my heart.
In the summer, I cleaned the cabinet and saw these two plates and the little green helmet. Suddenly, my mother brought them to me with their hot chicken stewed mushrooms. At that moment, I seemed to smell the fragrance of chicken soup.
At that moment, there was an inseparable affection for the two plates, which was heart and affection.
Plates and bowls are not that expensive, but that they have been connected to the warmest relationship ever.
Tonight’s dinner, let’s be hearty
I later took them out and put them in the cupboard, and I would use them every day to serve meals. Every time I see them, my heart feels warm. I think they will not like to stay in the corner of the cabinet, they prefer to use them often. This is their value and the way I love them.
make the best use of everything, not to mention that they bring me so many good memories.
Cherish good luck.
