My in-laws returned to their hometown on November 3. The difference from the past is that this time I did not return for a short period of time, but went back to cultivate for a long time, because my mother-in-law had just finished chemotherapy and needed to rest.
My husband is the only son in the family, and my parents-in-law came to Shanghai a few days before my daughter was born. It has been more than 13 years in a blink of an eye. In the past ten years, they have also returned to their hometown several times a year, but they have been resting for a relatively short period of time, and then came to help us take care of the children, working hard without complaint. I consider myself to be a person who doesn’t care too much. I live under the same roof as my in-laws. Although the living habits are not the same, there is basically no contradiction. Usually, the in-laws and we can be divided upstairs and downstairs, but there is only one kitchen, so the in-laws are the main managers. This time, my in-laws came home, cleaned and took away a lot of their kitchen utensils. I am a little excited to be the manager of my own kitchen again today after a few years!
The matter of going to the kitchen can probably start after the wedding that year, because before marriage, I was not wet. At the beginning of the wedding, I was full of curiosity about cooking. I bought a lot of tools at that time, and I had all the Western and Chinese styles, but after a while of tossing around, it became quiet, because sometimes it was not delicious, and no one came to join me. Waste, so the kitchen, together with those tools, gradually became a decoration. Later, my in-laws came, and the kitchen became lively again. I occasionally participated in it to start a fight, and it seemed that there was nothing bad. Although I did not agree with some cooking methods and kitchen layouts, but since it is ready-made meal, don’t do it. More verbose.
Day after day, year after year, I prepare to learn this dish or that dish more than once. Even my nearly ten-year-old blog has a special category called Magic Kitchen at the beginning of its establishment. For many years, I still stuck on the theoretical knowledge of occasionally cooking Western-style pastries and occasionally understanding how to cook a certain dish, and there are few articles about cooking in the blog, because when my in-laws are around, I basically don’t go into the kitchen. This year my mother-in-law got sick, which is not too good or too bad. In addition to the two months of Shanghai’s closure of the city, the utilization rate of the kitchen suddenly became very high. I also had to participate in it. From a person who eats ready-made meals, Gradually become a companion in the kitchen.
After more than two months of home training, I seem to have acquired something, not only the way and ability to cook, but also the meaning of home and life. I suddenly realized something, but couldn’t quite figure out what it was.
When I learned that my in-laws wanted to go back to their hometown for self-cultivation, I agreed with both hands. I am already old. In addition to the surgery and chemotherapy, I really should rest. More importantly, I have a sense of excitement to be back on the ground. Taking advantage of the Double Eleven, I immediately bought two pots. I actually watched it for a long time, but I never bought it, because there was no place to store it, and my in-laws would not use it. Now, I have changed from a kitchen assistant to a manager. Of course, the cooking guy has to satisfy himself, so I bought it without saying anything, and made a simple pot-opening ceremony at home on the weekend, even if it was officially opened.
Now my mood about cooking is completely different from when I first got married, especially the tempering in the past few months this year has given me a new understanding and grasp of cooking. Of course, I am also very envious of other people’s husbands who have good cooking skills, but I don’t have such a life, so I have to do it myself, and I believe that I have enough ability to do it myself.
With the passage of time, there are countless cooking tools, and there are hundreds of apps that teach cooking online. The identity of the kitchen manager has officially returned to me. Cooking is no longer a difficult task for me. In the future I will spend more time in the kitchen to cook for our family of four. I also look forward to accumulating materials for the twenty-four solar terms food series that I have always wanted to do. I hope that one day my The children told me that the best food in the world is not Michelin or Black Pearl, but the food cooked by my mother.
