1. Recalling Sufferings

When I was a child, my family was not rich, and every day’s meals were simple rice, vegetables and a little pickles or dried tofu. I remember one year, the harvest at home was not good, so my parents started to plant some beets, hoping to increase the taste. However, due to lack of skill, the beets did not grow well and the taste was not good enough. In our daily meals, there are always some beets that are not very tasty, which makes us taste a little bitter.

However, as time goes by, life at home gradually gets better. Beets are gradually becoming more delicious. Parents began to learn how to grow beets, how to handle beets, and how to cook beets. They take good care of each beet so that they grow more lushly. They also learned to use beets to make various delicacies, such as beet juice, beet fried rice, beet cake, etc. These delicacies not only taste good, but are also rich in nutrients and are very good for the body.

3. Cherish the present

Now, I have grown up, left my hometown, and started my own life. However, every time I eat beets, I always think of those bitter days in my childhood and the efforts my parents made to make us eat better. I will also remember that now I have lived a happier life than before, and I must cherish everything in front of me and keep working hard to make my life better.
