My mother passed away for several years

 At the age of one with the Chinese sage Mencius, and other large homogeneous. With the private sector saying, be regarded as a longevity. My father, my mother a little old, is still alive, not deaf ears, eyes do not take clear-headed, do not say nonsense. Last year I returned to Sichuan to visit him, I start back, sort out the analysis section, your voice loud, almost like reading newspapers and magazines according to the same. Today, he called me and from home, reminds me of mother. Today is Mother's Day, a string of his memories surfaced in my mind, the most memorable is that the memory of the mother and the mother spent.

in many people's eyes, the mother of the flower when referring to carnations. In fact, China already had thousands of years ago, the flower of his mother, that is, day lily.

my hometown, Sichuan has more than 3,000 years planted Quxian Hemerocallis history. Hemerocallis are lily perennial herb, fleshy rhizome, leaves long, slender top out orange or orange flowers, very showy. So people do not call it a day lily home, and used to call it yellow. Hemerocallis or yellow flower petals and petal shaped by the calyx formed by collectively known as the flap-like piece, and trumpets. Hemerocallis not only for people watching, the part of the lily buds, is that people like to eat a traditional vegetable for human consumption, in the widely cultivated in South and North.

I remember reading in my fameng 7 years old, they still do not know the taste of yellow Han. At that time the family planted a small flower, and not a scale, while the annual spring and fall harvest seasons, yield is very low, very few commercial and expensive, the average family can not afford. In the implementation of co-operative, the establishment of the former people's communes, only some farmers in the home around their houses to see so many stump. Flowering season, when passing from school to school picking really want to go back to boil Chang Changxian several flower yellow flower, but the thought of speaking the language text book: said: Do not pick, do not pick flowers is everyone's, to give everyone to see. 1957 Since then, I know lily, black fungus, this rare delicacies, but also whetted our curiosity about the taste buds of the flower. Yellow and then passing people, you always want to stay for a while, look at that attractive yellow and smell the fragrance of the lung that Qin.

time, I lived in a small town, there is no open space planting yellow flowers. One day, the school went to watch the way that attractive yellow Hemerocallis wasted time, got home seems a bit late, the mother has dinner ready placed on the table, an never smell the rich aroma houseful drift off. I quickly put down the bag, like straight to the dinner table as Chanmao prey, vision Looking back over the food transpiration gas, finally found the source of fragrance: a pipe bowl of soup - how many yellow green green green onion floating in the soup The following is a root of the yellow emperor like a small soft stick thin gold bars.

I 瞪着大眼睛 asked: You read brainer, yellow mother do something you Bubu. How much was spent? However,UGG boots clearanc, the fragrance of yellow soup that I did not care to have induced them, pick up the spoon to the soup,Discount UGG boots, picked up the chopsticks on the fishing food, Mom and Dad just smiled at me, from time to time to pick the yellow soup out into my bowl in his mouth and kept saying: the cleaners.

Eating too fast, and no fine chemicals, anyway, is delicious.

Since then, the mother to give me something to lily Gesanchawu eat. I know no one rob me, then slowly taste: lily petals thick, golden color, fragrance, fresh, smooth, light sweet, the food really was a different kind of feelings ah!

a long time, I know, yellow, or Hemerocallis, there are many beautiful aliases, different names: torrent, under the milk medicine, reference articles, green onion roots, the town of Pill, the skin of wild food, really Golden, feet participation, small to mention drugs, drug Pueraria chicken, Fissidens artemisia, seven vegetables, Day Lily, daughter of flowers, Wang Youcao and so on. Yu Jin Zhou Shi Zhongcheng, said: Really god!

a long time, I know, yellow is not only delicious tender quality, and nutritious, rich in pollen, sugar, protein, vitamin C, B1, B2, fat, carotene, riboflavin, amino acids and phosphorus, calcium, iron and other mineral elements necessary for human nutrition. Per 100 grams of dried product contains 14.1 grams of protein, which is almost similar to animal meat. Carotene it contains even more than tomatoes several times, since ancient times been regarded as a

a long time, I know, lily of the sweet and cool, to have more therapeutic value. Modern Chinese research suggests that there is bleeding, anti-inflammatory, diuretic and heat function, commonly used in the treatment of hepatitis, jaundice, vomiting blood, nose bleeding, tuberculosis, stool, and difficulty in urination and other diseases, on maternal lactation also increase the apparent effect.

often do since the day lily from my mother to eat later, like a supernatural aid, academic performance in school I gradually get better. Lower primary school, the random admission to the upper primary. Higher primary school, the ignorant to admission to the junior high school, and is the focus of the county complete secondary school. That time, a village only a primary school, a region only a junior high school, only a high school in the county. My junior year of test taking ten to one, and only fully registered to the county schools, only three of our town.

lived in my home town, the county seat of 40 li away from the ground, when the traffic developed, depends on two legs to climb two mountains over a river, walk to school is soft feet,UGG shoes, waist and sour . Due to road far, only home once every two weeks. Each home, as usual, was to give me the mother lily, also increased the fish. However, did not last long.

I read in the county high school for a year to catch up with the difficult period of three years of natural disasters, the state to streamline the urban population, our family moved to the countryside in rural areas, parents have become a farmer. Farther away from the school house, 60 li. Difficulties in the country, the home is also difficult. Parents for many years to leave agriculture, farming may learn from scratch. In addition to the family source of income earning work points by year-end distribution of the production team, is that raised by the mother of two chickens to lay eggs for three-point oil, salt and money. My family all these years the population has increased, plus my three brothers one sister and parents for 6 people. Year of hard work the whole family, year-end accounts, but also give the production team make the money back. Life that difficult, wild rice flour paste to fill the belly all the bark difficulty, and I'm Shexiang that day lily! In torment, I helped by a few years ago the mother lily's base, and successfully admitted to the high school enrollment that year was eleven to one ratio.

Later, various points of the private plots, you can grow some vegetables fill the shortage of rations, life only by getting better gradually. Mothers do not know when did you get a few yellow bowl, plummeted to the edge of capitalist private plots. In her mother's careful management, the competition is also a small harvest, me and my siblings and can Gesanchawu the number of small but delicious to eat lily of the.

the village people to see my mother planted and the crop of yellow flowers growing, planting yellow flowers up more gradually. Whether all the small household, hill ground, the village front room, and the corner edge of a farm, as many as five or six lines per household, at least half of the line, dozens of stump, there are dozens of stump, and from the food sent to relatives and friends, always also listed for sale more than enough. However, the good times not long, the Fortunately, much of the dried leaves his mother, so that our brothers and sisters to enjoy a few steady for quite a while.

representative of the lotus lily, cure depression, is the mother's comfort. Yellow mother cooked dishes, feeding the healthy growth of children, see maternal and condensate in the day lily. Wandering in ancient China before travel will be living in the north front is the mother lily growing appreciation for the mother to the table filial piety. Hemerocallis bright hope of comfort to his mother, to forget the unhappy child thinking. Far in the I went there to get a day lily, planted in the mother a break and let the mother and enjoy the lotus it? Mother lived in the house called Xuan Tang, on behalf of the Making of maternal love, such as wandering Meng Jiao's poems: the children were conceived more.

1968 年 3 months, I applied to participate in the PLA. Before leaving, the mother of the last remaining flower water made more than a dozen root, give me a bowl of cooked noodles,UGG boots cheap, noodles on top of a big omelette. I eat the fragrant ah, now there are lingering fragrance mouth; I eat the full ah, now when you think of belly fat is also tight. Now I seem to have not eaten so fragrant, so full of noodles, noodles, there are day lily because it has yellow flowers, a mother's love!

these years, I left home, but did not leave her mother's love. Especially after I settled down in the Northeast, every New Year, my mother always reminded the family, send me several kilograms of dried lily. After that his mother passed away, still receive lily sent from home. Every time I taste the lily, that living in harmony with the maternal body for filling. I always regret it, a soldier away from home without leaving the mother planted a few lily bowl. Fortunately, Deng Xiaoping, chief architect in the South drew a circle in a timely manner, quickly set off a wave of reform and opening up to. Government to encourage income-generating home to rich farmers with unprecedented enthusiasm. Hemerocallis every peace and prosperity, yellow Everywhere. Every mid-summer, sunshine, yellow everywhere, line by line, such as needle stick like yellow, scented, scented, dragonfly wings, fluttering butterflies, birds chirp of cicadas, wild and lush. More welcome home Hemerocallis prospect more gratifying. According to government plans, by 2010, the home flower planting area will be developed Quxian to 10 mu, annual output of finished product to spend more than 1 million tons, annual output value exceeded 200 million yuan, China's main producing high-quality flower production. This is the mother to spend more contests, and the mother of the soul in heaven will not be lonely.

However, with the reform and opening up, foreign foreign section of the introduction of competition in China's mother lily flower is gradually replaced by a carnation.

carnation, carnation scientific name, Chinese alias carnation, carnation, Dianthus, also known as lion carnation, carnation, the flower pink, Dutch pink, as pink Dianthus plant, located in temperate Europe and the Chinese mainland's Fujian and Hubei, native to the Mediterranean region, is the world's one of the most popular flowers.

1907, the United States Philadelphia, Jarvis (Anna Jarvis) Zeng Yi pink carnation as a symbol of Mother's Day. Carnation real popular, or in the May 1934 issue of the United States for the first time after Mother's Day stamps. Stamp design is a world-famous paintings, a loving mother on the screen, hands in her lap, happily staring in a vase that a bunch of bright beautiful carnations. With the spread of stamps, with the Mother's Day carnations closely linked. So not only Mother's Day (5 per year on the second Sunday), the recognition by the Western people, but also are accustomed to the carnation as Mother's Day flower - the flower of maternal love, a holiday gift the mother of the most popular gifts . When Mother's Day, the mother alive who wear pink carnations, and made into bouquets for her mom. Who just lost her mother, then wear a white carnation to show mourning. There is no person without the mother, carnations have become a nobody does not love the flowers. Carnations for Mother's Day and cast a loving mother love color, becoming an indispensable gift to mother. With the deepening of reform and opening up, Chinese and foreign cultural exchanges, Mother's Day has gradually introduced into China, carnations, also the real Hemerocallis no match for the soft carnation.

When Mother's Day came today, I think, we may offer a bouquet of carnations to mothers, do not forget the plus several flower lily flower, this way, the expression of the popular world of mother's love, but also Chinese-style expression of gratitude and honor the mother of love.

I ask: my dear mother, all right? Ah old times you have to!
