Aurora Magazine 2010

My grandmother did not give my mom any money but gave her a box of oranges. When we taste them, my mom says, “It is even sweeter and there is no seed! Isn’t it amazing? Technology does improve a lot! Look! How juicy it is.” I could not agree more with my mom but sometimes I do wonder how come the fruit without the seed can have the next generation, and can I visit the orchard on mountain again or dose it already belong to someone else. I really want to have my wedding with orange flowers! I can feel the yelling in my mind. I still remember my grandfather insisting his orchard will take the important place from generation to generation, so how come it has been sold? But maybe my grandfather knows the answer, I guess. The pity is we will have no chance to work in that house with my whole family anymore. But one thing I am pretty much sure of is that I will never suffer with oranges, never.
