Grandpa’s dish that I miss my grandpa-----Xiangwan
Overview
Today is the anniversary of my grandpa’s death. Last year, when I was packing my luggage and preparing to go home for the New Year, I received a call from my dad. Grandpa passed away. Although I already knew that he was seriously ill, I never expected that he would leave without waiting for me to come back. I had already planned to go back and make dumplings for him. I hung up the phone and cried on the bedside. I believe anyone who has lost a loved one will understand the pain. I cried bitterly and shouted, Grandpa, why didn’t you wait for me. However, it was too late. Our whole family did not celebrate the New Year last year, and we may not celebrate the New Year again in the future, because every time we come to this supposedly joyful moment, we feel extremely sad in our hearts. Our family is separated like this, and there will no longer be the joy of getting together as a family every year. There will no longer be a scene where everyone works together to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner. There will no longer be a situation where everyone plays mahjong and watches the Spring Festival Gala together after dinner, and there will no longer be a situation where everyone sleeps in the same room and laughs and talks about interesting stories about my childhood. Of course, if my grandpa just passed away normally, maybe we wouldn't be so sad. It also involves my unfilial uncle, my grandma, and some things that I have been deceived for more than 20 years. I can't face it. For a time, I couldn't express my inner feelings in words. After a year, I still can't face the pain. I can only choose to escape. When I rushed back to my hometown, my grandpa had already been buried and still didn't wait for me. Maybe this was my luck, because I didn't have to face the death of my relatives with my own eyes. I could still choose to escape. I could also pretend that nothing happened, because every time I think of my grandpa, he sits on the chair and smiles at me kindly. Mom was far more sad than me, because her heart was even more hurt. And what can I do? ! I can't seem to do anything. Most of the time I just hide and cry alone. Useless me. The first dumpling I learned how to make was taught by my grandpa. When I was young, my grandpa traveled all over the country and was very knowledgeable. He was good at cooking, especially this fragrant bowl. Every year during the Chinese New Year, he would make several large dumplings by himself. The soft and waxy texture and salty taste are actually especially suitable for the elderly. After it's done, cut it into pieces and put it on top of the white radish, then steam it in a bowl. The aroma of the gravy and eggs penetrates into the radish. The sweetness of the radish and the salty aroma of the gravy make it extremely delicious. Today, I specially made this dish, my grandpa’s favorite dish, to commemorate him. Grandpa, I miss you! If you like this dish, make it for your beloved family. When they can eat your food and smile happily, that moment is extremely happy.
