unforgettable taste

When I was in the second grade of primary school in my country, my family moved to Taoyuan.

Mom wakes me and my brother up every morning. I can walk to school. The school is about ten minutes away. The main road in front of my house is just around a corner. My mother and my brother will wait for the kindergarten baby carriage on the first floor, and then ride 50c.c. to Taoyuan Railway Station. work in Taipei. After school, I would go to the neighbor's house next door to play an electric car, or ride a roller coaster in the courtyard on the first floor. When dinner time comes, there is usually a meal in the refrigerator. I will eat it in the electric cooker and wait for my brother to come back at home. Elementary school doesn't have much homework. After the two of us take a bath, we will wait for our mother to come back in front of the TV. Most of the time, when she opens the door, we should almost go to bed.

Once, she went on a business trip overnight, and before leaving, she explained that my brother and I were not allowed to run around at home, and that the brothers and sisters of the church would bring dinner. (We all go to church on Sundays) Unexpectedly, the pastor came to our house that night and brought two steaks from our house. Seeing that we were having a good time, he sat down and left. The next day my mother came back and we were clamoring for my steak.

During the summer vacation, my grandmother would come to help my mother, and my grandfather and grandmother would drive us to Guishan Township in a van, which is our paradise. We watch TV until midnight, sleep until we wake up naturally in the morning, drink chicken soup every night, and there will never be enough red bean flour cake popsicles in the refrigerator. Singing together is different from Taoyuan Church. In Taoyuan, the pastor's wife would take my brother and me to children's worship, eat snacks, and read Bible cartoons.

Guishan Township is full of hillsides. The little aunt would ride a bicycle on the hillside with my brother and me with red bean noodles, and there was no entertainment in the mountains. I remember once when I was climbing a hill from the grocery store, I saw my grandfather, grandmother and little aunt in the distance. They were about to ride a 50c.c. I didn’t know where to go. When my grandfather and grandma were seated, the little aunt got on the car. Afterwards, the locomotive blew out with a loud noise, and with their roaring laughter, I also fell to my knees laughing on the mountain wave. Another time, their van didn't move, so my grandmother and us pushed uphill behind the car. Suddenly, the car rushed forward in full gear, and we all fell on the hillside. Grandma also broke a tooth because of this. People can't help laughing. (Grandma's teeth were still bleeding when she laughed, but the group of us just couldn't stop laughing.)

"Marriage failure may really be inherited." Ten years later, my mother decided to kick my father out of the house, and she said to me with a firm look. When we were young, we were called Grandpa Snail in Guishan Township and Grandpa Climbing Mountain in Taitung, both of which were our grandfathers. After the Nationalist government came to Taiwan, his hometown was in Sichuan, and his grandpa settled in Taitung. He married his grandmother of the Amis ethnic group. When the three children were a little older, the grandmother left and went north with the snails of the Amis ethnic group. In the second grade, in September when we moved from Kaohsiung to Taoyuan, I stole an automatic pen from the downstairs grocery store. The police followed me upstairs with my sister next to me. I kept touching the automatic pen in my pocket until my sister Say, we're going to arrest your dad, he owes us a lot of money.

My grandmother passed away this year from bone cancer. When I was in college, one day I suddenly bought a box of red bean noodles and came home. My mother said that I loved it when I was a child, and she would give my grandmother money to buy more boxes of red bean noodles. What am I overly shocked at the moment? I didn't say anything. I always thought that my grandmother liked to eat it, so I liked it. Out of curiosity, I asked him if he remembered asking the pastor to buy my steak for us. "My steak was chosen by them. Originally, I asked them to buy a lunch box downstairs. The pastor and the pastor's wife are really a good couple. Once during a church, I said that your father was arrested and sent to prison, and I brought two A child still has to pay off debts. I really don’t know how to endure it before I come to church. The pastor didn’t say anything. Please pray for me together. After that, they would care about me privately every week, and even hoped that I could accept it. A large sum of money, said to be the donation of the church members, has also been reported to the diocese, so I don’t have to be under pressure and I don’t have to pay it back.”
