We with bright and plump skin may never be able to imagine the day when we are full of age spots.
Every bite of the meal could not be put into the mouth accurately, it fell on the table, and the retired old principal had to pull the ears, and the old body contained the soul of a child.
My hands are always trembling. I need kidney dialysis and I have my mother who is older than me take care of me. In a different way, I say I lost my wallet and ask someone to borrow 300 yuan that I will never repay, which is more expensive than my daughter. The one who likes his son but comes to visit him is always the daughter who looks fierce.
At that time, we were embarrassed and down and out, and it was a shocking silence.
And Sister Tao is the most dignified one in the aging army.
She deeply knew that after the first stroke, there must be a second stroke, so she became very calm, although she was lonely, she did not panic.
Chuntao, it sounds like a servant's name.
She retorted like a little girl: I don't want you to call me by my name.
But she was also very kind, like a member of our family. Like grandma, or grandma. They often have amazing cooking skills. This is not a talent, but a skill that has been honed for ten or twenty years or even longer. Every dish is mouth-watering. What we eat will always leave the deepest memory. They seem to have kept the mouths of our whole family, so that we will not be so easily succumbed to the food outside, so that we can maintain a high standard of life. Attitude, it becomes less easy to compromise.
[Master has a meal, a huge fresh fish is steamed, a sea crab is carefully cooked, and the crab meat should be placed in the crab cover. Sister Tao didn't eat at the same table. Roger leisurely took the fattest piece of meat from the fish belly, wrapped it in fragrant rice, and ate it on his own. After the meal, Sister Tao brought tea and cut fruit. Roger was still enjoying it nonchalantly. And he doesn't seem to be satisfied: "I haven't eaten beef tongue for a long time, buy some next time!" Sister Tao was not afraid to contradict the young master, probably because she felt unhealthy, so she said: "Since I haven't eaten it for a long time, don't eat it. !" Roger didn't say a word, and left a sentence before going out: "It's going to be stewed." ——quote]
Does this plot look like an old man in the family?
At least every time I go to see my grandmother, she can conjure countless food piles in front of me. She likes to think that I am fat, and a little thinness will make her sad.
The image of such a stingy old lady is so appropriate.
[Sophisticatedly depicts the habits of an old servant that he has accumulated throughout his life. In order to eat and use the best things for her host, she is calculating, extremely picky, meticulous, and careful. The most important thing is that she regards the profession of a servant as her vocation and is conscientious. Young master Roger's life is right, it is her great success. ——quote]
[The brine beef tongue that Roger wanted to eat, Sister Tao finally made it, a close-up of an iron pot: put oil, put garlic, ginger, star anise, aniseed... But just after making it, Sister Tao suffered a stroke , hospitalized, and later in a nursing home. Roger is busy with work, but when he has time, he goes to see Sister Peach - that's the whole story of this film. But the part about meals always moved me.
One day, some of Roger's old friends came to play cards at home. One friend was hungry and went to the refrigerator to turn it over. The brine beef tongue that Sister Tao made before her stroke was placed in the freezer. . After eating, I remembered that they came to Roger's house as a guest when they were children. Sister Tao always brought out a series of special dishes, steamed egg white crab, eight treasure duck... Everyone got excited and played mahjong for sister Tao who was playing mahjong in the nursing home. On the phone, Sister Tao called out the names of these young people in turn and smiled happily. The food in the nursing home is much worse. When Sister Tao first arrived, she sat in a row with a group of old men and ladies like kindergarten children. The rice bowls were just vegetables, shredded pork, and rice. Sister Tao had no owner to take care of in the nursing home, and instead she became the one to be taken care of. She also forgot to be picky and careless. The old lady sitting next to her asked her how the food tasted, and she just said, it was okay. Ye Dexian showed all her acting skills here. She told you on the big screen how to perform when a person lost his soul. She used to be a confident and dignified old lady who was calm, but when she first entered the nursing home, Sister Tao saw Many elderly people with strange speech and neurotic behavior immediately became trembling and panicked. Roger's mother came back to Hong Kong from the United States to visit Sister Tao and boiled bird's nest to bring. At this time, Sister Tao's life in the nursing home has become more comfortable, she has made friends with the elderly, and her health is much better. When she saw the old master, she was very happy and humbled, and when she saw the bird's nest, she was even more embarrassed. But she took a sip and said, "I should put some ginger in this, otherwise it will be fishy." Roger's mother looked a little ugly: "Really fishy?" Sister Tao drank again: "It's really fishy." Roger's mother also Drink: "It's not fishy." Sister Tao: "It's fishy." The design of this scene is very interesting, and the meaning is also twists and turns: Sister Tao naturally puts her status at the lowest level in front of the old master; however, in the face of cooking matters , never give up his stubborn delicacy and criticality, and directly put his position at the highest level, even if he is the old master, he is unwilling to give face - cooking and cooking, only you are the best. This plot contains two insistences of Sister Tao's life: serving the master and making the best meals. But this is another thing: to be a servant, to be a servant, and to be the best servant. What is the standard of this servant? Sister Tao knew that she was in poor health and could no longer serve Roger, and Roger was slow to find a daughter-in-law. At this time, she considered finding a maid for the young master. She interviewed many candidates in the restaurant, and the standard was herself. . For example, she asked, "Do you know where to buy fresh redwood fish? Young master only eats live sea fish!" When she got angry with this one, she choked the next one: "Miss, what kind of pot do you use for cooking?" Is it the most delicious meal?" Naturally, no one is willing to do this kind of nanny, and every applicant is unimaginable about the possibility of such a servant. The head nurse of the nursing home couldn't help laughing at Sister Tao: You are picking a daughter-in-law! However, Sister Tao herself was such a delicate and meticulous servant, and she worked for 60 years until she lost the strength. --quote]
In comparison, I think my grandmother's memory is good enough to be an accountant. She bought a big item in a certain month in a certain year, who lent her a sum of money, and her great-granddaughter was born a few days ago. She is very clear. Even because she has cataract and can barely see in one eye after surgery, she can no longer distinguish my appearance from my sister, so she gave both red envelopes to my sister during Chinese New Year (she thought she gave me lol) , but those bits and pieces of trivial matters, she remembers it so clearly, it is shocking.
Sister Tao is similar. She is reluctant to lose her sewing machine, and she teaches her cat earnestly. There are a lot of old things in the box. It can be said that she has an amazing wealth.
She is very sensitive to money. When Miss Cai told her that she had important things to keep for her, she instinctively said that she had no valuables, but she wore two gold rings at the premiere of Roger's film, and later put them on The ring was passed on to Roger's nephew's wife.
When Roger said he was willing to bear all the expenses of the nursing home, she kept shaking her head and said: I have money! I have money! I go out by myself. But on New Year's Eve, when the whole of Hong Kong was boiling over for the New Year, she and Miss Cai talked about the old lady, and mentioned that the government should pay for the lonely elderly. Sister Tao muttered to herself: In fact, I can also let the government pay.
But she didn't.
I'm not a waste yet, I can support myself, that's the only bit of pride I have left.
So Uncle Jian gave her a few egg tarts and she borrowed 300 yuan, so she was willing to share her bird's nest with others, so Roger's mother gave her money and she didn't ask for it, but she was overjoyed when she received two pairs of socks , has been wearing.
She is very easy to satisfy.
The fake scene on the Mid-Autumn Festival, the actress's disdainful expression, the recovered "prop moon cake", Miss Cai pressed everyone back to their seats, "There is still a group of people, everyone will hold on for a while", the old people sighed helplessly. Come to the noise of the children, they are very cooperative, because they understand.
The old man knows what is true and what is false. Just like when Uncle Jian went to buy spring, Sister Tao said calmly: How long can he be fooling around, how many days can he be absurd?
Getting old is just our belated revenge, and you have to keep your attitude, grace, and grace until you die.
