Dozing
Off
and
Cooking
Bean
Curd
Sticks
with
My
Family
As
I
took
a
nap
in
the
midst
of
a
sunny
afternoon,
my
mind
wandered
into
the
realm
of
dreams.
In
my
dream,
I
found
myself
in
my
childhood
home,
standing
beside
my
parents
and
siblings
in
the
kitchen.
As
we
gathered
around
the
stove,
we
were
cooking
a
delicious
dish
that
we
all
loved
-
bean
curd
sticks
in
a
savory
sauce.
The
sight
and
smell
of
the
dish
immediately
awakened
my
senses,
and
I
could
almost
feel
the
aroma
wafting
toward
me.
My
mom
was
handling
the
wok
like
a
pro,
while
my
dad
was
busy
chopping
the
ingredients
and
adding
them
to
the
pot.
My
siblings
were
also
lending
a
hand,
each
performing
a
task
that
they
were
responsible
for.
As
we
worked
together
to
prepare
the
dish,
we
talked
and
laughed,
sharing
stories
of
what
we
had
been
up
to
lately.
The
joyful
atmosphere
filled
the
room,
and
I
felt
a
sense
of
warmth
and
contentment
that
I
had
not
experienced
in
a
long
time.
Eventually,
we
sat
down
to
enjoy
the
fruits
of
our
labor,
and
it
was
as
if
we
were
transported
back
in
time
to
the
days
of
our
childhood.
We
reminisced
about
old
memories
and
relished
the
taste
of
the
delicious
food
that
we
had
cooked
together.
As
I
slowly
drifted
back
to
reality,
I
realized
how
much
I
missed
my
family.
We
no
longer
lived
under
the
same
roof,
and
it
was
rare
for
us
to
have
the
chance
to
cook
together
like
we
used
to.
However,
the
dream
reminded
me
of
all
the
good
times
we
had
shared,「推荐更多 十二生肖婚姻配对常识请关注 :爱姻缘网,WWw.iYinyuAn.CC〕】
and
I
vowed
to
make
an
effort
to
stay
connected
with
them
in
any
way
possible.
Cooking
bean
curd
sticks
with
my
family
may
seem
like
a
simple
thing,
but
for
me,
it
represents
the
bond
that
we
share
and
the
memories
that
we
will
always
cherish.
