Always young
My mother is good at farm work. Each season,she grows various vegetables in my garden. Beans ,pumpkin ,towel gourd...in spring;Summer, bitter gourd ,cucumber,water spinach...; Leaf
plucker ,pea...in autumn. After doing this , she comes back, and I am responsible for looking after these vegetables.
Owing my mother's hard work,my garden are in deep green all year round.,fresh vegetables available each season.
Water spinach is one of favorite vegetalbles in summerIt. It is known as kong syin tsai in Mandarin Chinese (literal translation = hollow heart vegetable). It is easy growing, delicious fast crops. They have lots of nutrition within.
It is utterly delicious when stir fried in some oil with fresh garlic and a pinch of salt. Its stems are usually made in salad .It is really fresh and delicious.The whole summer , we enjoy its delicacy,can't get enough of it.
The summer was gone before I know. In october, it blooms unexpectly. (We used to turn the soil before it bloomed).The flowers are lavender,resemble morning glory. I never expect it is so beautiful! I called my mom, and told about it.
" It is overgrown, it is the time you turn the soil to plant others." mother said.
" But it is still in blossom,beauty in its full bloom" I said.
When our Chinese describe youth, we usually use the words"beauty in its full bloom " , how can it be old ?
"You cannot judge a man if he or she is old by his or her appearance."mother smiled.
“Oh, "I said. I only half-believed in what mother said.
Put down the receiver, I picked some leaf and cooked.
" Mother is right. it is not as delicous as before.It is overgrown"when we tasted it that meal, I thought." It is the time to turn the soil and plant other vegetales."
Laterly, I followed my mother's advice, turned the soil lately. Before I turned the soil
loved its beauty,I picked some flowers and placed them into a vase.
Two weeks later, one day, when I read online entertainment news , I noticed this "
Isabel Preysler (mother of Enrique Iglesias) secrets of againg"
Can you believe she is 56 years old. She must know the secrets of youth/not aging. Born in Manila, Philippines she is the mother of international pop superstar Enrique Iglesias...
In the picture, Isabel Preysler is still slim, beautiful and elegant, even at her age of 56. A closer looked, I still can find her greatly aged.

A nice entry again Lotus. We usually use the word gourd for plants that are dried and used for storing water or used as ornaments etc. 苦瓜is often translated as bitter melon.
