Mom is a mother after all. The first two times she went to dig wild vegetables, she didn't ask me to come. She really refused to give up. No, on the weekend afternoon, they "lied" me into the fields by saying they were taking me to a nice place.
When my father’s motorcycle stopped at the edge of an orchard where no fruit had been picked, I realized that I had been deceived: this was not a trip, this was clearly my mother’s “trick”. I was just about to stubbornly ask my father to take me back, but my mother said, "Don't worry, you should see what's in the ground first." I had no choice but to get down to the ground.
I looked around, hey, the ground is so lively! There are green vines, yellow grass, small pink flowers like small brushes, and many unknown wild vegetables! It's already autumn, and some wild vegetables seem to be in their second crop. Their leaves are fat and particularly green. My mother told me: Those short ones with lacy leaves and greenish white are called Granny Ding; the small pink brushes are green cauliflower; the green vines are melon vines... "I know! Fortunately, I came out today." I said happily. .
I took the sickle from my mother and prepared to dig. My mother said: "What we dug this time are bitter herbs." I thought, I have never been to the fields before, what kind of vegetables are bitter herbs? My mother told me that it is a vegetable with green, slippery and soft leaves that grow close to the ground. I asked my mother: "Why do we dig bitter vegetables?" My mother told me that because we usually eat too much salty and sweet vegetables, it can cause many diseases, lead to poor health and reduced resistance. In order to change the imbalance of the five flavors, you should eat bitter foods like bitter vegetables, which can also be used as medicine. Oh, it turns out that bitter vegetables are so good. So we started digging. After a while, we dug a bag full and were ready to return in triumph.
On the way home, my father also told me the story of the movie "Bitter Cauliflower", which made me shed tears. Yes, this time I "fooled" my mother and didn't suffer. Instead, I gained a lot. I'm really glad that I almost missed it.
