I should write an article about my father on the day of my return trip on April 4. That day, my father left us for exactly one month.
Looking at the sunny weather outside the window. What I wanted to ask my father most at that time was: What's the weather like there?
It's just that I'm writing, thinking and remembering. I spent more than three hours in the car and wrote half an article.
I don't know how to honor my father. Or do I think it hurts too much to write it? I don't want to continue writing.
Have both!
I didn't come back until today. However, I returned to Guangzhou. Just a bowl of soup, which reminds me of my father. Well, I can start with this most familiar topic about my father and write about my father.
My father's uncle, my seventh uncle, moved to Hainan in his early years and has been working hard in Hainan. This spring equinox, I brought a family of 10 people back to visit the grave, and also brought us betel nut flowers grown in my own orchard.
To tell the truth, I haven't seen this uncle, and even this time, I haven't seen him. He rarely came back, worked hard in his early years, did not return to his hometown for several years, and basically broke contact with his hometown.
In other words, in the past two years, they have gradually connected, but they only come back once or twice a year. This time, they came back to visit the grave.
He said that after going to Hainan for so many years, he is not very rich now, but he is also well-fed. The most regrettable thing is that our relatives here have never been to his home in Hainan.
That's the blood relationship. I miss you most, even if it's been a long time. I want to give you the best, too. Betel nut flower is what my uncle thinks is best for us.
He said that boiled betel nut flowers and pork bellies have the effect of treating stomach diseases. He personally verified his experience of stomach bleeding, and he was cured by drinking betel nut flower pork tripe soup.
Today, my brother cooked the betel nut flowers that my uncle brought us. My brother's greatest growth is to take care of his father for more than eight months. Now he can cook a table of dishes and master many cooking skills.
Of course, his father taught him all this.
Betel nut flower pork belly soup, first of all, clean the pork belly.
Cleaning the pig's stomach is not an easy job. First cut open the pork belly, wash it with clear water, remove water, sprinkle a lot of salt and white vinegar on the pork belly and rub it repeatedly, then remove the mucus from the pork belly and rub it repeatedly for about ten minutes.
This is the method of cleaning pig's belly taught by dad, and it is also his experience all the time. He said that only vinegar and salt can wash the pork belly, and the washed pork belly will not smell.
Then soak the pork belly in hot water for a while, so as to soak the dirty things on the pork belly soft and easy to remove.
I didn't know this step before. Today, I asked my brother: Who taught you to soak pork belly in hot water for a while?
"dad" I was speechless for a moment. Then I fell into deep memories. Every corner of the house is your figure, and it hurts every time I want to come.
Wash the pork belly, cut it into pieces, and cook it in a pot with betel nut flowers for one and a half hours. Before cooking, I asked: Don't you have to cut the pork belly into small pieces?
The younger brother said, "Pork belly is so big that it is cooked with betel nut flowers. When the soup is cooked, the pork belly is taken out and cut into small strips, which is delicious when fried. Dad taught me this way. "
Look! Dad, I know that you have never left us, and your thoughts will always be passed down among us in some way, so that we can always feel your presence.
Father's favorite food is pork belly. When he has a bad appetite, cooking pork tripe for him always gives him an appetite. Today, I also remember him through this kind of food that he is most familiar with and the way he taught me the pork belly.
And soup and pork belly are also the deepest memories of our father rooted in our minds. This is my father, a father who can cook and cook soup and always takes care of us.
Dad, I love you and I miss you very much.
