Today is the fifth day of the first lunar month, the Spring Festival holiday has passed halfway, many people have begun to return, and the annual love trunk contest has also started.
Some people say that this is a game that no one will lose, because "all pretending to love is the same".
Mr. Li (not his real name) felt that he was "about to move his mother's house into bankruptcy".
Yesterday, he returned to Hangzhou from his hometown of Jinhua and brought back two jars of soil-roasted sorghum wine, sausages, wontons, zongzi, glutinous rice lotus, sesame candy made by his mother, as well as more than 10 catties of hand-fried melon seeds, freshly picked strawberries and radish, etc., not only the trunk was stuffed to the brim, but even the empty seats in the car were filled.

Among these love-filled "mother brand specialties", the largest is two jars of 30 catties of earth-roasted sorghum wine. Mr. Li said that he does not know how to drink, these two jars of wine were prepared by his mother for his father-in-law, "My mother is not very convenient to take the children because of physical reasons, my two children are usually brought by the father-in-law, she has always felt indebted to others, the father-in-law loves to drink, she asked me to bring the two jars back." ”

These sorghum wines, which are made by the villagers with firewood, are not expensive, but they are superior to the pure taste and rich aroma.
In addition to wine, other specialties were prepared by his mother for Mr. Li's family. The big bag full of more than 10 pounds of hand-fried melon seeds makes people feel a little "outrageous", "It's because of the Chinese New Year's Eve, we watched TV together and ate melon seeds, I casually said that the melon seeds I fried were better than the ones I bought, and then my mother went to the market to buy more than 10 pounds of raw melon seeds and came back to fry, let us bring them back." ”
With so many melon seeds, Mr. Li's family estimated that it would take a month to eat them, but he still accepted them all because he didn't want to live up to his mother's kindness.

In addition, there are a bunch of sausages, wontons, zongzi, glutinous rice lotus, and sesame candy, all of which were made by my mother's own hands, and it took two whole days, "and a bag of yak meat that my brother brought her, she said she couldn't bite it, and gave it to me again." ”
The carrots and white radishes are all grown by herself, and the strawberries are picked fresh in the greenhouse early in the morning, saying that she is afraid that I will be stuck on the highway, and you can eat two strawberries when you are stuck in traffic. Mr. Li set off to return to his hometown on the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve, and in the past few days he was busy visiting relatives with his two children, and when he was about to return, he found that his mother had quietly prepared so many things for himself: "Every time I bring the children back for the holidays, my mother is very happy and energetic." Every time, I have to take this and that for us, although it is not a valuable thing, but it is a specialty of the family, and I am full of happiness. ”
Probably this is the meaning of going home for the New Year.
