Bowl of bean curd

 In 1986 the twelfth lunar month, the school put on winter break. Looking out the window in a flowing snow goose feather, my heart is full of melancholy.
Home a hundred kilometers from the county. On the way to go through a town, called side's town, is a country a long history of the town.'s sister town of junior high school in the end, only twelve years old.
was in high school I was just fifteen years old.
depression from the heavy snow. from town to town side's asphalt is freshly made, you can take the bus to arrive.'s by the end of the town to my house for a small village, all mountain, the most primitive mountain. such a great must have seal off the snow, it seems forced from side walk home town of New Year's.
depression from her sister. in the county on a three-year high school junior and half of me, basically used to walk home. the annual summer vacation there is always such a opportunities. side's town, was late afternoon. the students spend the night at home, and the second early in the morning to find a big stick and thin sister started carrying luggage of two people together with the footsteps in the snow in feet measured depth of the home Road. Nearly sixty kilometers of the mountain, starting from the foot of the extension, the goal is the small village of mud hut.
walked step by step, about ten kilometers when the sister had already tired. slacks trouser legs so that wet snow, and thick ice formed. Melaleuca mother at the end of the cotton-padded shoes to do than even the hard rocks on the hillside. if not for the two lovers a month back and forth in the cotton-padded shoes with the friction that can cotton-padded shoes house construction materials used for repair.
walked step by step,Bailey UGG boots, I dug out from the luggage of wool socks I wear dirty sets to her sister in the foot. the side of the story from different places and she said, while encouraging she insisted. noon, to clean the snow on the hillside eating the mother passes him a few pieces of corn shavings son. We continue to study the hard way.
evening,UGGs, we went to the house there Lier Gu where less than five kilometers. Although see hope in the evening can not come home first, a night in the Ergu lives, can really walk the younger sister. street has a little house, stone building. the house light the lamp.
that time, no electricity in rural areas. Some time in Tian Ganghei lit kerosene lamps, it must be in good condition of the people.
I tried to open the stone door. inside the hot smoked days, because I was very young myopic eyes, the glasses are hot smoked was nothing to see it. But the smell from the room, I suddenly heard that this is a Doufu Fang.
I trembling voice, asked whether the owner let us warm for a while. the owner kindly asked our history, and then we let into the house. let my sister take off shoes and socks to the fire of the stove in the sitting, who devoted hostess to help her sister dried the shoes and socks. I helped man of the house to the fire burning fire, the host side of the tofu on one side and talk to me. to be in the hot pan when the tofu in the hands of his host, the hostess to two bowls of warm bean curd and soy sauce mixed with the simple salt a bit, ended to me and my sister in front of: soybean curd, is the world's most beautiful dishes.
ten years later, I want to be there to find that a stone hut, had disappeared. That couple is so common,UGG boots clearance, ordinary, like just like my parents, not people once to remember them. when we did not ask the young people of the name. Now, back into my life a regret.
the little village, called the cloud first.
I asked all over the village people, say,UGG boots, those days, one to the New Year, every family should have to do in the village Doufu Fang tofu. no one remembered the two children helped.
perhaps, on the couple, the bowl simple to remember the curd.
and we, will miss the bowl of hot life, full of love bean curd.
