Before becoming a superhero, the pickled vegetable once rode his tricycle in a hurry through the market. He accidentally brushed against an egg, but due to his haste, he didn't notice. The egg became upset and called out to him: "Pickled radish, you bumped into me and didn't even apologize before leaving. That's very impolite."

"Huh?" The pickled radish was stunned. The egg continued, "Good thing I have a hard shell, or I would have been scraped and bled by now. What? You still don't want to admit it?"

"Where? When did I do that? I was in a rush and wasn't paying attention. I'm sorry," said the pickled radish.

"It's too late for you to say sorry now," the egg retorted.

"What do you suggest then?" asked the pickled radish.

The pickled radish thought for a moment and said, "Egg, look at this. You're round, and so am I. Although I may not be as perfect and refined as you now, five hundred years ago, we must have been from the same family. Moreover, my cousin, the tea egg, and I were classmates at the Pickling Academy. So, please don't hold a grudge."

"Pickled radish, stop trying to flatter me. I won't fall for your tricks. If you don't give me two spoonfuls of sugar today, I won't let you go."

The pickled radish was in a hurry, so he had no choice but to scoop two spoonfuls of sugar from his tricycle for the egg, thus settling the matter.

That evening, while having dinner, the pickled radish mentioned this incident to his mother, Mama Pancake. Upon hearing this, Mama Pancake became upset and said, "I've always known that the whole egg family are bad eggs. Look at Egg's father. A big man who dresses in shiny, colorful clothes every day, singing and boasting about himself everywhere. Every morning when others are still sound asleep, he gets up to warm up his voice, disturbing everyone's sleep. And Egg's mother, with her unkempt appearance, doesn't like tidying up. The other day when I went to their house, she was hatching eggs naked without wearing pants. Every time she lays an egg, she boasts about it all over the street, making sure everyone knows. They are such a boastful couple, which is why they gave birth to such an ignorant child."

"Hey, Mother, don't get upset. It's all in the past now. It's not a big deal," the pickled radish consoled his mother.
