Alfalfa in spring is tender and delicious. No matter it is fried, dumplings are delicious. I remember that every spring, my mother loves to use alfalfa to make dumplings, and our sisters are responsible for choosing alfalfa. My mother knead the noodles and chopped meat, and dinner is pork alfalfa dumplings. When the family sits around the table, my mother will give each of our sisters and brothers a bowl of dumplings and a bowl of dumpling soup. Usually, what I give my dad is an extra bowl of sauce with vinegar and chili oil. When my younger brother was young, he always said that father had three bowls, and his had two bowls, so he ran to his father to see if that bowl was also dumplings. When looking at the red chili oil, mother couldn’t stop him. When I was living, my younger brother also learned from his father to put dumplings in it. In the end, the hot nose and tears came out. We all laughed when we watched his stupidity. This warm picture will never appear again! Mother: "How are you in heaven, we all miss you!"
