我家的 瓷碗,已经很久没有换过了.白色的底,淡蓝色的碎花,不甚惊艳,但看起来却很有家的味道.沾过胖乎乎的饭粘子,盛过滋味百转千回的海鲜汤,装过令人垂涎欲 滴的黄焖鸡,挨过竹筷子地碰,受过铁调羹地敲,淋过柠檬味道的洗洁精,日复一日,年复一年,我家的碗敛藏了所有生活的味道.
衣服越穿越旧,车子越开问题越多,然而碗,却是常用常新.我听人说,瓷器出炉时是用很多光滑的鹅卵石打磨的,碗不仅接受鹅卵石的打磨,还被生活打磨.不论是美味佳肴,还 是残羹冷炙,总是碗先替我们尝到其中的滋味,油盐酱醋,浸润着瓷碗的纹理,以时间的流逝来造就一只光滑剔透的碗.端起碗吃饭的时候,眼睛从碗的弧形边缘处 打量着同桌吃饭的家人们,有的吃的慢条斯理,有的狼吞虎咽,有人嗜辣,有人爱甜,虽然形态各不相一,然而饭香氤氲,洋溢在每个人脸上的都是幸福感.洗碗的 时候,我摩挲着小白碗的边缘,不禁想到,生活、生命也如同碗一样,是个无止尽的圆.
七月的一天,新闻里播报了一起火车追尾事故,死亡惨重.端着饭碗的我,浏览到相关信息时,忽然觉得饭菜难以下咽.有多少正在家里守候儿女归来的父母在听到这则消息时,震惊地摔碎了手中的碗……有多少家庭从此都 要空上一副碗筷出来,等待那个永远回不了家的人……碗中的饭在此时变得格外冰凉.
餐桌对面的空饭碗里是否会有这样看不到的留言：我从远方赶 来,特意做了动车,只是为了能早一点看到你,握住你温暖的手,和你坐在一桌吃饭,相互对望,筷子会在夹菜时碰到一起,我想要尝尝你的手艺有没有进步,我的 妻子.然而抱歉,我无法归家,原本热乎乎的饭菜凉了又热,你还是等不到我,原本给我盛饭用的小白碗,如今是否接满了你的泪水?
碗筷坠地时破 碎的声音中是否能追寻到这样触不到的思念：我放假第二天就跳上了火车,一学期没有见到了,我想你包的茴香饺子想的要发疯,我不断祈祷一路顺风,坐在动车上 每过一座城市就给你发一条短信,我离家的距离越来越近了,我的妈妈.天遂人愿的事情总是如此少,原谅我,妈妈,这顿饭又要留您自己吃了,我的灵魂永远停在 了这铁轨上了.家里地上那个打碎的碗,您收拾的时候可千万要小心啊,不要被碎片划伤了手,我知道您的心在滴血.
冷冰冰的陶瓷碗里有没有留下 这样一段温热的话语：终于能见面了,我想你想的睡不着觉,这次我给你买了很多的礼物,吃的、玩的,还有一只很漂亮的小碗,以后用这个喂你吃饭吧,我不在家 的时候,你有没有听爷爷奶奶的话,如果我回来发现你没有长胖,我可就生气啦!回来以后我就给你做饭吃,一个月没有吃我做的饭,是不是早就馋得流口水啦,我 的宝宝.对不起,对不起,宝宝,妈妈……回不来了,是妈妈不好,以后再没有妈妈给你端你最爱吃的鸡蛋羹了,宝宝的小碗再没人能暖热了,以后……以后……再 也看不见汤匙那边妈妈的脸了……宝宝,你别哭呀,我和你道歉好不好.
死亡人数至今未明的事故,牵挂着多少人的心,上面的故事会在多少家庭里发生?打破的碗有多少?空出来的碗筷有几双?原本盛满佳肴的小碗,如今被苦涩填满,原本幸福的家庭聚餐,成为了最煽情的催泪晚会.
最近的新闻上报道说,故宫也打破了一只碗,一只价值连城、举世无双的宋代哥窑碗.霎时间举国上下的媒体都把闪光灯对准了故宫.给予追尾事故的目光就此被转移.同样是碗,王公贵族家的和平民百姓家的果然是不能比,有哪家媒体统计过,时至今日,追尾已经欠下了多少顿团圆饭.
宋代的哥窑碗自然很多金,然而平民家庭里的碗是否承载了更多感情?一餐一饭,一只碗也可能陪伴人终老,看到碗角的磕碰也许就能想起某次晚餐上发生的趣事,摸到碗沿的弧度就能回想起母亲盛饭时手掌的温度,一只碗里的记忆又是多少钱可以换来的呢?
打破一只碗,咣当一声,惊醒了多少美梦?一地碎片划破多少现实?捡起碎片,手掌划破,流出的是多少人的泣血哀歌?触感冰凉,多少家庭从此以后就要冰冷度日?打破的碗,你我都无法再将其焗上,只有午夜梦回,那只碗,才会回到当初的温暖.
My Mother
My mother is a kind and gentle woman. She is always very gentle. She takes good care of her children and keeps them all at school. I have two brothers and two sisters. So she gets five children in all. She gives us every comfort we need. We all love her very much.
My mother has too much to do in bring us up. As our family is not rich enough, my mother always hits to do a lot of work. She gets up very early and sleeps very late every day. She works very hard, yet without complaining.
My mother is also a thrifty and industrious woman. She saves every penny that she can to keep everything in order. As she has been busy ever since she was young, she looks older than she really is. Her face is wrinkled, her hair becomes silver white, some of her teeth become movable. But she works as hard as ever.
My mother often says to us," work while you work, play while you play. If you did not work, you will become lazy and of no use to the society." What a good piece of advice it is! We must worth it well and always keep it in our minds.
暑假到了，我终于有时间帮妈妈做家务了。
“干什么好呢?”我决定做一件很简单的工作——饭后摆碗筷 ，擦桌子。
可是我有点犯难，因为有一次吃完饭，妈妈说:“儿子，能否帮我收拾一下桌子。”我爽快地说:“行呀，小菜一碟!”于是，我就把桌子上的碗、碟子、盘子、筷子、勺子一股脑的摞到了一块儿，形状像一座宝塔，我很兴奋。可是，乐极生悲，当我端着这座宝塔前脚刚跨进厨房门，后脚还没来得及站稳，我手上的宝塔突然晃了一下，便坍塌了一层，掉到了地上摔得粉身碎骨，里面的菜汤不仅撒了我一腿，还弄得满地都是，我也随之哇哇大哭。
“哎!这件事真是说起来容易做起来难，都怪我太轻敌了。”
今天，我又开始了第二轮战斗，这回我吸取了上次的教训，不把碗摞得那么高，而是分门别类，把碗和碗放在一块儿，碟子放在一块儿，盘子放在一块儿，大的在下面，小的在上面，因为这样有稳定性。我害怕如果摞得太高，噩梦会再次降临，我就把碗两个两个的往厨房运，而且拿紧，这样我蚂蚁搬家似的搬了好多次，终于大功告成。
该擦桌子了，擦桌子很简单，我把吃剩下的骨头连同废纸都擦到地上，将它们扫走，接着，我再用湿抹布把桌面反复擦几遍，就完成了任务。
做完这些，我心里美滋滋的。
First you make the dough by mixing water into the flour. The container shculd be big enough lest the flour and water will overflow. Press the dough with your hands till it is not sticky. When the dough is ready, leave it there for use later, then go on to make the fillings.
The second step is to mince the meat, mushrooms and shnmps till they are mixed in a paste. Add some spice such as ginger and onion and stir them evenly.
The third step is to make the wrappings. Roll the dough with a round stick into **all round pieces of wrappings, each two inches in diameter.
The fourth step is to put the filling in the middle of a wrapping. Then press the wrapping tight and a jiaozi is ready. When you have made enough Jiaozi, the next step is to boil them.
That is the last step. Put a pot of water on the stove. When the water is boiling, put the Jiaozi one by one into the water and cover the pot. When steam comes out, add more cold water and when it boils again add cold water a second time. When you see the Jiaozi floating in boiling water, you can put them in bowls or plates, get the chopsticks and be ready to eat.
第1步，先用水和面，和面盆要大些，以免水和面溢出。用手揉面团，直到不粘手为止。和好面以后，将做饺馅。
第2步，剁肉馅，将蘑菇和虾米搅拌成糊状，放入调味品如姜、葱，并把馅搅匀。
第3步，做饺皮。用擀面杖擀出一张张直径为两英寸的圆饺皮。
第4步，把馅放入饺皮中，捏紧饺皮，一个饺子就做成了。饺子包够了，下一步就是煮饺子。
煮饺子是最后的一步，锅中放上水，搁在炉灶上烧，水开时，一个一个地把饺子放入开水中，盖上锅盖。水冒气时，要加些冷水；水开时，再加第2次冷水。当饺子漂浮上来时，盛入碗中，准备好碗筷，即可食用。
