A joyful time in my grandma's house
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I came back to my hometown,New Taipei City, to accompany my family members. Every year, My parents and I visit my grandma's house in the suburb.Though it is not so far from my home and grandma's house,my parents and I are so busy at work that we can not visit grandma frequently. Once we visited,my mom,aunt and grandma would cook traditional delicacies for us to taste during the holidays when we gathered. In Mid-Autumn, we even have a barbecue on the square in front of the house.
It was near evening that day.My parents and I almost arrived at grandma's house.Watching other families enjoy the barbecue, I looked forward to seeing relatives and enjoying the barbecue. As soon as my uncle brang the coal and some fresh ingredients back to the house from the grocery store,he hastily ignited the fire and set the barbecue grill immediately. My mom told me and my elder cousins to help uncle prepare the tools of barbecue.After several times of ignition,we finally started our barbecue time with the laughter of adults and children. I put some fresh meal and fish on the grill,roasting them for few minutes.Surely, I roasted the meal carefully so that they wouldn't burnt and inedible.The beef and pork sizzled on the grill with the tangy aroma permeating the air,I can't wait to taste the delicious food! My family members and I grab the meal, fish from the grill,gulfing them with satisfaction. We tasted the food,drink the soda and chat with each other around the barbecue grill. In this joyful time, we threw the worries aside,immerse ourselves in the joyful atmosphere during this lively night.
In my childhood,I considered that staying with my family members at home is a thing that I could reach easily. However, I gradually realized that we are too busy to gather in the simple space,enjoy the warm atmosphere with age.That is why I hope that I can perish the time when I share the pleasure with my family members and then spend more time caring for them.
