My father said : “Ling’s father is a ” big boss’, because they can afford to eat a full meal of rice every day”.
My father also said that he never had a full meal before the age of 23 ! When he was young, he raised cattle in exchange for a small monthly wage; “A bag of mixed grains”. On pay day, my father carefully put those grains into a smaller bag and gave them to my grandma. Grandma then divided that bag into more than 15 small portions in a small bucket of water. The whole family survived by this thin congee mixed ( little bit of rice with lots of water and boil it, it will becomes like soup) with root vegetables.
As you can imagine, to be able to provide a full meal for our family, was my fathers biggest dream. when my father turn 48 years old, we immigrated to the United States. Both my parents took jobs as dish washers. Maybe my classmates and our neighbors looked down on us. But for my parents one day’s pay was enough to buy a bag of 50 Lbs of rice. Now we can afford to have 100 full meals for one payday. This is our bless.As time changes, the meaning of “Big Boss” has different standard. It’s not just just a person who appreciate the delicacy of a bowl of rice.
