In our ordinary family life, there are always some details that seem extra intimate and warm. For example, my mother used to put a wet dishcloth on the faucet after washing the dishes. This small action is like the constant scenery of the home, quietly telling the mother's carefulness and the warmth of the family.
This habit may be because my mother thinks that this will allow the dishcloth to dry more quickly and avoid the growth of bacteria; Or maybe it's because it's the most convenient place to put and you can easily reach it the next time you use it. Whatever the reason, the sight of a dishcloth on the faucet has become a daily routine in our homes.
Sometimes, I'll watch it quietly from the kitchen door. The water droplets on the dishcloth glistened in the light, as if they were beads of sweat after a mother's hard work. This can't help but make me think that these simple and repetitive housework are actually the embodiment of mother's love. Every silent effort is contributing to the happiness of the family.
Over time, this habit has gradually affected me. In the beginning, after washing the dishes, I would deliberately imitate my mother's appearance and put the dishcloth neatly on the faucet. Gradually, this became a habit for me, even after living on my own, unconsciously. At this time, we always think of my mother's busy figure and the little life tips she taught us.
Now, even when my mom isn't around, the sight of the dishcloth on the faucet still brings me comfort. It is not only a simple housework action, but also a symbol of home, a continuation of the mother's love. In this small kitchen, every item carries the warmth of home, and every action reflects the bits and pieces of our lives.
Therefore, whenever I see the dishcloth lying quietly on the faucet, a warm current wells up in my heart. Thanks to Mother, it is she who uses these seemingly inconspicuous details to teach us how to love and how to live. Under her guidance, we also learned how to find beauty in the ordinary, and how to appreciate the power of love in the trivial.
