Chapter 20 sweet potato under bed

Taiwanese call themselves "Sweet Potatoes" because sweet potatoes play an important role in rural areas. Sweet potato leaves are called Guogoucai, very sweet ginger, with a slightly bitter and sweet taste, which is not lacking all year round.The way to eat sweet potatoes can be written as a cookbook in the countryside, sweet potato cakes, sweet potato cakes, sweet potato candies, sweet potato soup, roasted sweet potatoes, hydrocarbon sweet potatoes, fried sweet potatoes, soldered sweet potatoes...you can write a long list, yes, and sweet potato porridge ! I was deeply impressed by the harvest season of sweet potatoes. My father would pile sweet potatoes under the whole sleeping bed, so every day we would fall asleep in the aroma of sweet potatoes and wake up in the smell of sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes germinate very quickly, and sometimes they stick out their heads through the gaps in the wooden bed. Sometimes I use a wire to lead those sprouts out of the window, and it just spreads like that. The sweet potato with such vitality sometimes makes me feel like my incarnation and a symbol of the peasants' children. I encourage myself: be full of vitality like sweet potatoes, and spread to the place where there is light outside the window. I still remember the scene of sweet potatoes blooming, the small white trumpet of the land, so pure, so simple, so beautiful, when I think about it, it seems to smell the fragrance of the whole land.
