Another time in Laba. As the saying goes, after Laba is the new year. According to this, there is also the expectation of going home. Because my mother-in-law is far away from my family, I made a rule with my husband before marriage. I will take turns in the Spring Festival. One year for my mother's family and one year for my mother's family. This year I will go back to my mother's family. Shanxi. Although there are still more than 20 days to go, I can't wait for it earlier. Homesick. Even Laba porridge is made according to the custom of my hometown. The Laba porridge of Shanxi people is millet as the main ingredient. The ingredients are red dates, red beans, sweet glutinous food at the entrance, also known as red thick rice. The first meal of the Laba Festival is red thick rice. There is another saying in my hometown: if you don't eat red thick rice in the morning, you'll get red eye disease. Up to now, I don't know what the red eye disease is. But I've never missed the red rice. It's soft, waxy and sweet. It's impossible not to love it.
