continue to my story about my childhood:
I tlaked that we don't like to eat potato since we eaten it evryday and each meal, so we went out to the field and to find something new for eat.
when the spring comeing, there were much flowers and fresh leaves, and some of them can eaten by people. for example, the new leaves and flowers of acacia(洋槐) is good for eaten in spring. So, we climb up to the tree and took the flower and leaves, and then took them home and give to my mom to cook them by adding some corn-flour, and then steam it in the boiler. it really taste good after that. and we thought that it was better than potato,and also better than eat only steamed corn-flour for us. it not only filled our stomach full instead of potato, and for my family, it could reduce the cost of daily life. almost all of my schoolmates went out together to collect the flower and new leaves of acacia after school in spring. the result is clear, all of acacia trees were "hairless" in spring! and the good thing is it had a little new leaves in summer to keep them alive.
The summer is hard for every family during that time. because almost all of food was gone, and new food was still in filed, there were no potato also. we just had the corn-flour in home, we are no chioce except eaten it. It was difficult to ingest. so, my mom cooked a bowl of pumpkin soup for each of us. it help us feel better.
the autumn was the best season for all of us at that time. because we have enough foods again, and other things.but we still didn't like to eat dinner at home. we had no breakfast at that time, and we had to eat lunch at home due to we are students, we had 4 classes at morning and 3 classes at afternoon. we when out together to get the grass for feeding the pigs of our family after school. we got together after we finished our job, and went to the cron filed to find the corn cob. then, we fired the firewood, and baked the corn cob for dinner, it was really delicious! I still miss it today! the other things we can do is went to the forest and tried to find fruit for eat. and the yam also good to deal. so, the parents known that nobody came back to home had the dinner. they never waiting for us for dinner in autumn.
