Dad's mung bean balls fried in the new year have only been moldy for more than a week. He was so distressed that he was busy for most of the day and did not want to eat much, and he grew green hairs of mold. Even if the mung bean ball is broken, his first reaction is not to pour it out but to remove the outer skin, fry it again and eat it.
While I advised him not to do it, I told him that this moldy mung bean ball was poisonous and would cause cancer when eaten. But he was still not willing to dump this basket of moldy balls, and said that it was okay, scraping off the moldy skin on the surface of the balls and frying them at high temperature. I know that saying that moldy food is poisonous can't stop Dad from leaving these broken balls. I could only tell my fourth brother, and only he could persuade my father not to eat the spoiled food.
It is also a pity to think about it, the green bean balls fried on the twenty-fourth day of the waxing moon are golden and beautiful and crispy. After the spring, the weather in Wuhan is getting warmer and warmer every day. Dad didn't store the mung bean balls in the freezer of the refrigerator. Only use plastic bags to spread under the bamboo basket, put the mung bean balls in the bamboo basket and hang in the shade of the kitchen door, and it will be moldy in a few days.
Not to mention the cherishing of food for those born in the era of insufficient food, a grain of rice and a thread are not easy to come by. Even I, the post-80s who eat and wear without worry, also feel sorry and regretful, but it is a pity that it is a pity that I really eat a bad stomach and eat illness and get more than I lose.
Only those who have suffered hardships especially cherish everything that is hard-won. Even if the days get better, they still can't change the habit of thrift and thrift. A penny is broken in half, and a towel is used to wash your face for several years, as long as it does not rot, it is used to wipe your feet. Clothes are reluctant to buy one for several years, they are picked up by others do not want, in addition to underwear and underwear is their own, but also to wear until the tattered rubber tendons are loose before changing.
Dad was so thrifty that he was reluctant to eat and wear. The only fun is playing mahjong with the people in the bay with the landlord. As a child, even though he hates playing cards, as a seventy-year-old man with only a little hobby, how can he be deprived of it?
