Beginning of Summer: Salted Duck Eggs

Overview

In the afternoon, I used a stick to poke the grass in the cracks on the concrete slab next to my grandfather’s yard. It was not a hot day, the sun flickered in and out, the wind was neither cool nor hot. When the sun shone slantly into the coal shed in the corner of the courtyard, my father walked in from the aisle carrying a white bag. I squatted on the ground, raised my head and asked my father what was in the bag, and my father said: salted duck eggs. Salted duck eggs? What for? I didn't stop poking at the wooden stick and continued to ask. Is it the beginning of summer today? I want to eat at the beginning of summer. Dad answered me as he walked into the kitchen. This is the first time I have established a connection between the beginning of summer and salted duck eggs. From now on, I will know the beginning of summer when I see salted duck eggs.
