There are 24 solar terms (節(jié)氣) in China, and the Grain Rain(谷雨) is one of them. It falls on April 19 this year.

This solar term is called the Grain Rain because it is known for “rain” that helps the grain grow. From its name, we can guess it means a time of more rain. So if you go out in the next two weeks, you may need to bring an umbrella with you.

But this is a great time for planting crops. If you miss the time for planting during the Grain Rain, you will feel sorry later. So maybe you can try to plant some flowers or vegetables in your garden. When the spring rain falls, farmers begin to grow crops (莊稼). Farmers often say, “Spring rain is as precious (珍貴的) as oil.” It brings farmers hope for a good year ahead.

There are also many interesting customs during the Grain Rain. In the northern part of China, people like to eat Chinese toon (椿芽) mixed with eggs. The food made during the Grain Rain tastes wonderful and is good for your stomach. In the southern part of China, the tea leaves are picked during the time. They are called Grain Rain tea, which is famous for its freshness and sweet smell.

1. How many solar terms are there in China?

2. Is it necessary to take an umbrella during the Grain Rain?

3.What is Grain Rain tea famous for?

4.Why is it a great time for planting crops when the Grain Rain comes?

One year, a college in the Unites States announced that it would offer a lot of money for the pure white marigold(金盞花). The high reward attracted so many people, but in the nature, besides golden, the marigold is brown, and it is not easy to get the white one. So after they were excited for a time, many people had forgotten the announcement.

One normal day after 20 years, the college received a letter and 100 seeds of pure white marigold. It turned out to be an old woman of over 70 years old.

Dear Died,

Today I was at the shopping centre and I spent a lot of time reading the Father’s Day cards. But as I chose add read, and chose add read again, it seemed that not a single card said what I really wanted to you.

You’ll soon be 84 years old, Dad，and you and I will have had 56 Father’s Days together. I didn't think that you were too old. But the sad thing happened last week. I watched as you turned at the corner in your car. I didn’t realize at once that it was you because the man who was driving looked so elderly.

Fifty years ago this spring, we planted carrots together in a garden in Charles City, Iowa. This week, we’ll plant carrots together again, perhaps for the last time but I hope not. I don’t understand why planting carrots with you is so important to me. Well, I don't quite know how to tell you this, dad … I don't like carrots.... but I like planting them with you.

I guess what am trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their dad today. Praising a father on Father's Day is about more than a dad who brings home, money or shares a dinner. It’s more about a dad deeply loving children who know everything and won't listen to anyone. It's about sharing. It’s about loving someone more than words can say, and I wish that it would never end.

Lover,

Jenny
