Mom's concern is as simple as that. I just hope that you can live well while she is away.
Mom, Wade Tang Zeng
Mother's love.
The four-year-old floret is not as tall as the kitchen counter.
But I've put on my headscarf and apron,
Step on the high stool,
I started cooking by myself.
With tofu in his left hand,
Take the knife in your right hand and cut it into small pieces.
Although mom is around,
But she was still a little nervous when she first took the knife.
Always keep an eye on the taste when cooking soup.
Afraid of being too salty or too light,
Cook a pot of soup.
What were you doing when you were four years old?
Anyway, Uncle Cheng hasn't remembered much.
Xiaohua has been forced by her mother to learn to cook.
Nowadays, children are spoiled and growing in all aspects.
I'm afraid parents will be heartbroken when they see their children holding knives.
How does Xiaohua's mother let her four-year-old child learn to cook?
Is this really not child abuse?
Actually, it's not like this,
Xiaohua's mother Qianhui has cancer.
Time is running out,
In my previous life,
What should I leave for my young daughter?
Think about it, only teach her a lifetime experience.
"I have no money, no rights, no status, no property.
I can only teach her to cook and do housework.
Teach her to live every day seriously,
In this way, even if she is alone,
She can live a good life ... "
Although the difference between them is 1 1 year, they still fall in love quickly and have to be each other.
However, I didn't expect bad luck. Qian Hui was suddenly diagnosed with breast cancer, and the originally peaceful life suddenly thundered.
However, Shingo is very firm, and has always encouraged Qian Hui not to be afraid, just after the operation.
"After the operation, we went to Canada to see the majestic Rocky Mountains. These little things disappeared, but ... before we go, let's get married!"
Orfila's parents disagreed and asked him, "Why do you have to marry a woman who may not have children?"
He earnestly begged his parents that he just wanted to be with Qian Hui and marry Qian Hui, hoping they wouldn't object.
A year later, Qian Hui's operation went smoothly, and they entered the marriage hall. At that time, Orfila was 37 years old and Qian Hui was 26 years old.
Within a few years of marriage, Qian Hui became pregnant. At first, they were puzzled because the doctor reminded them that cancer may or may not recur after giving birth, and they couldn't give you a clear answer.
Qian Hui, who had already given up the idea of having children, hesitated. When she saw the beating little life on the B-ultrasound, she made a decision instantly, and she wanted to give birth to the baby.
Fortunately, after giving birth to the child, the cancer did not recur, and the family of three lived happily. Haze seems really far away, and happiness seems close at hand.
Unfortunately, such a quiet life is only a short fragment.
In 2006, cancer recurred in Qian Hui, and cancer cells had spread all over the body, and life entered the countdown.
When the disease struck, Qian Hui's first thought was the young floret. What should her children do if she dies?
Anticancer treatment makes her life worse than death, and sometimes it feels better than death, but as long as she thinks of Xiaohua, she has the strength to persist.
"Meeting Huahua proves that I live in this world. This child, who is more important than myself, is the wealth of my life. "
Time goes by little by little, and Qian Hui wants to leave something useful for Xiaohua in the last days of his life.
Children are a gift from heaven, but one day, whether actively or passively, children should let go of their parents' hands and embark on the journey of life alone.
So Qian Hui decided to teach Xiaohua to cook. When she grows up, other children have mothers to teach her, but Xiaohua only has a father. She wants to teach Xiaohua now.
"Even when I am gone, she has learned the ability to live independently."
Boil soup, cut tofu and add seasoning. The first dish Qian Hui taught her daughter was miso soup, which was simple but warm.
She told her little but sensible daughter, "You must learn to make miso soup. As long as you can make miso soup, you can live even if your mother is not around. "

Mom will do everything,
I'll teach you now
They agreed that Xiaohua was responsible for cooking miso soup for dinner at home every day.
But Xiaohua is just a child after all. Once she was addicted to reading the picture book brought by her aunt and didn't want to make miso soup. Qian Hui was angry and anxious.
Auntie couldn't stand it anymore, thinking that Qian Hui regarded the child as a convenient prop, she scolded loudly.
But Qian Hui didn't take it to heart. He just said to Xiaohua, "If you get sick in the future, I will be very worried, but my mother can't help you at that time. You should learn to make miso soup and take care of yourself."
Qian Hui recorded everything on his blog, not just to write down the proof that he once lived in this world.
And what I want to say to my daughter is that this is the most precious wealth that mothers give their children.
At the end of his life, Qian Hui, who had not sung for a long time, stepped onto the stage with the help of his friends.
But what moved her most that day was not to return to her long-lost stage, but that Xiaohua brought her her own miso soup before the show started. She didn't ask, but Xiaohua offered it.
She thought, now she can finally leave with confidence.
Qian Hui's departure was a great blow to Orfila, who was once in great pain.
One day, he got drunk and got up in the morning. He even saw the rice made by Xiaohua and the note he left: read it before eating. This is a side dish and rice prepared by Xiaohua for her father.
The painful letter understands that he can't continue to fall, he has a daughter to take care of, and he has to pull himself together.
Every morning, Orfila is responsible for waking Xiaohua. It has become a family practice for Xiaohua to make miso soup, while Orfila prepares other breakfasts and lunches for two people.
Xiaohua is also very conscious. Before going to school, she will arrange her own schedule: washing her face, praying, feeding the dog, walking, washing her hands, making miso soup, eating breakfast, brushing her teeth, playing the piano, going to the nursery and so on.
Shingo, who used to work in a newspaper, also combined the bits and pieces recorded on Qian Hui's blog before his death into a book called Flavor Soup of Little Flowers. After the publication of this book, like a cookbook, it touched countless people and made it into a movie and TV series.
As Shingo said, Qian Hui's words convey not only the way food is made, but the power of life.
In the book, 10-year-old Xiaohua wrote a letter to her mother:
Every word,
Are endless thoughts.
Xiaohua has graduated from high school now. Her dream is to be a nutritionist. Everything her mother taught her unexpectedly became the direction of her life.
She learned to dance and play the keyboard. Sometimes she thinks: Mom has never seen me perform. What will happen if she does?
Mom has been away for 12 years.
But her love, gentle and silent,
Still living in this house,
Have been growing up with Xiaohua.
