日复一日的夜晚，日复一日案台上冒着徐徐青烟的药炉，药柜里整齐摆放的各种中药，在烟雾朦胧中弯腰劳动的身影……
Day by day night, day by day, the medicine stove on the case platform is emitting slowly green smoke, and all kinds of Chinese medicines are placed in the medicine cabinet orderly, bending over and working in the hazy smoke
这便是我的母亲，五一假期来临，在别的妈妈们早已放松下来陪孩子快乐玩耍时，我的母亲便是为他们的快乐坚守在一线的劳动者之一。我靠在门边上看着母亲，白日的劳作已经够辛苦了，可是待到夜深人静之时还要为了病人们第二天的治疗做准备，父亲是个西医不知道怎么熬药，看着母亲豆大的汗珠落在烟雾中我于心不忍，上前说：“妈，你把方子给我，我帮您吧。
This is my mother. May Day holiday is coming. When other mothers have already relaxed and played happily with their children, my mother is one of the workers who stick to the front line for their happiness. I leaned against the door and looked at my mother. It's hard enough to work in the daytime. But when it's quiet at night, I have to prepare for the treatment of the patients the next day. My father is a Western doctor who doesn't know how to cook medicine. I couldn't bear to watch my mother's sweat drop in the smoke. I went up and said, "Mom, give me the prescription. I'll help you.
母亲看着我起先是不同意的，可是我一再坚持母亲也就许了，我尽量多地从母亲手里多拽了几张方子，第一张上写着“麻黄三两，去节，芍药三两，五味子半升，干姜三两，炙甘草三两，细辛三两，桂枝三两，去皮”从小看母亲治病，药材大体认得清楚，我准备了一个小秤，把方子上的中药一把把抓好，放到秤上量好，桂枝的分量特别大，往往五六枝就够三两，为了准确的把控好量，我把一支一分为二，在一次次的加加减减中把分量稳下来。
At first, my mother disagreed with me, but I insisted on my mother's promise again and again. I pulled as many prescriptions from my mother's hands as possible. On the first one, it said, "three liang of ephedra, three liang of going to festivals, three liang of peony, half liter of Schisandra, three liang of dried ginger, three liang of roasted licorice, three liang of asarum, three liang of cinnamon twigs, and peeling." from childhood, I saw my mother's treatment, and the herbs were generally recognized. I prepared them A small scale, grasp the Chinese medicine on the prescription, put it on the scale, and measure it well. The weight of cinnamon twigs is very large, often five or six twigs are enough for three or two. In order to control the quantity accurately, I divide one into two, and stabilize the weight in successive addition and subtraction.
中药的煎煮方法很重要，只有掌握正确的煎煮方法才能充分的发挥药效。不正确的煎煮方法会使药效大打折扣，疗效甚微，起不到中药该有的药效。
The decocting method of traditional Chinese medicine is very important, only mastering the correct decocting method can give full play to the efficacy. Incorrect decocting method will greatly reduce the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine.
我先用冷水浸泡药材50~60分钟，如果是花、叶子、草之类质地稀疏、松软的药物可浸泡50分钟，如果是根、茎、种子、皮等质地比较坚硬的药物需浸泡60分钟左右。充分的浸泡，可使药物中的有效成分快速溶入水中。麻黄，五味子，桂皮都是质地坚硬的药材要泡60分钟，芍药，炙甘草，细辛却是质地松软的药材，过长的浸泡会让药材的药效提前释放达不到最大的医疗效果，所以需要分开过水浸泡。
First, I soak the herbs in cold water for 50-60 minutes. If it's flowers, leaves, grass and other drugs with sparse and soft texture, it can soak for 50 minutes. If it's roots, stems, seeds, skins and other hard drugs, it needs to soak for about 60 minutes. Sufficient immersion can make the effective ingredients in the medicine dissolve into the water quickly. Ephedra, Schisandra chinensis and cinnamon are all hard herbs that need to be soaked for 60 minutes. Paeony, roasted licorice and asarum are soft herbs. Too long immersion will make the efficacy of the herbs released in advance not reach the maximum medical effect, so they need to be soaked separately in water.
在这期间便可以去抓另一个方子的药材，也开始浸泡。待到过水完成后药材便可以去熬制了，当我准备打开灌装机里的煎熬炉时妈妈叫住了我：“用煎药锅熬，煎药锅导热较慢，受热较均匀，保温效果较好。不能用金属器具，因为金属器具容易把水熬干，金属可能会与药物中的成分发生化学反应，产生毒素，对病人身体不好。”妈妈一边说一边端来了煎药锅。
During this period, you can go to grab the medicine of another prescription and start to soak it. When I was ready to open the frying furnace in the filling machine, my mother stopped me: "boil with the frying pot, the heat conduction of the frying pot is slow, the heat is even, and the heat preservation effect is good. Do not use metal utensils, because metal utensils are easy to boil water dry. Metals may react with the ingredients in the medicine to produce toxins, which is not good for the patient's health. " Mother said as she brought the frying pan.
我顿时很感动妈妈的敬业，要知道灌装机是流水线生产中药，只要把药放进去就不用再管了，可是妈妈竟然如此地尽心尽力，就算已经晚上还是用煎药锅手工煎药。可是我仅仅冒了一点学习上的困难就想偷懒退缩。
I was immediately moved by my mother's dedication. I need to know that the filling machine is a production line for traditional Chinese medicine. As long as I put the medicine in it, I don't need to worry about it anymore. But my mother did her best, even though she still used the decoction pot to cook the medicine by hand at night. But I just took a little trouble in my study and wanted to be lazy and flinch.
我把药材放进煎药锅紫砂，锅沿上反射着白日光灯的光晕，水倒入锅时也投出洁白的光泽，水没过药一厘米时我关掉了水，打开了煎药锅的开关，转身去接另一壶。
I put the medicine into the purple sand of the decoction pot. The edge of the pot reflects the halo of the daytime light. When the water is poured into the pot, it also gives a white luster. When the water is less than one centimeter of the medicine, I turn off the water, turn on the switch of the decoction pot, and turn around to pick up another pot.
大约30分钟后头熬好了，我取出药汁，开始二煎，就是第二次煎药，这期间的工程都是妈妈来做，因为我控制不好火候，也做不到像妈妈一样搅拌药材三十多分钟。
After about 30 minutes, I boil it well. I take out the medicine juice and start the second decoction, which is the second decoction. During this period, my mother does all the works, because I can't control the fire well, and I can't stir the medicine for more than 30 minutes like my mother.
看着妈妈在水汽若隐若现的几缕银发，我的心被深深刺痛了。终于，妈妈熬好了药，可以睡觉了，我却早已经在病床上睡着了。
Looking at my mother's silver hair in the water vapor, my heart was deeply hurt. Finally, my mother cooked the medicine and went to sleep, but I had already fallen asleep in the hospital bed.
我的天使妈妈，您虽然不能时时刻刻陪在我的身边，让我时时刻刻感受到家人在身边的温暖，但，您为我的生活坚强地撑起了一片天！我从您的身上看到了什么是真正的天使美德！
My angel mother, although you can't stay with me all the time, let me feel the warmth of my family around me all the time, but you have made a strong day for my life! I see from you what is the true angel virtue!
