It rained
heavily yesterday morning and afternoon, which brought an end to the prolonged
drought. Mother watered the vegetables almost every day during the period of
drought. She has been taking care of them dedicatedly. That is why all the vegetables
in our garden are growing well and some of them have borne a plentiful harvest.
If it were not for son who is spending his holiday at home and particular about
meals, we would not buy any vegetable now. We have enjoyed cucumbers, potatoes,
eggplants, Chinese onions and green beans for quite some time. Although some of
the pumpkins have been big and ripe enough for eating, mother grudges feeding
on them when there are so many other supplies for us to consume. Some of the
ripe vegetables are more than what we can eat, so we share them with brother
and sister.
