一些故人旧事

最近很多过去的事和人会忽然涌现出来，只是用中文写的太慢，英文写又觉得不真切。

似乎留在我记忆里的都是美好的。既使是悲伤的事也有中凄美的感觉。曾听说人的记忆是有选择的，我比较喜欢选择美好的记忆。

想哪说哪吧。还是写英文吧-这样快.

I miss one of our old place in my hometown very much. It was a very old house with big yard. We grew lots of plants there (mostly my grandparents did it, I was just a little helper). I remember we got grapes growing just outside of our window. Under the grape branches for a period time we grew some peanuts. I still miss that fresh smell of that peanut. I don't eat peanut now but I loved the fresh raw peanuts. We also grew some vegetables, one of them was some kind of bean with purple color. I haven't seen that kind of vegetable for a long time but I still miss that tasty purple bean so much. Oh, thinking about it makes me so hungry.

I miss the time I spent with my grandmother when I was young at hometown. She was such a lady - you would never forget her once you met her. She was a dominant person but she was very outgoing, funny and open-minded. She loves animals, we had cats all the time at home. We raised some chicken for a period of time. I loved those yellow fluffy chicks when my grandma brought them to home.

I always put cat inside my blanket/comforter while I was sleeping at that time. One of our cats was stubborn and smart, she didn't like to sleep inside blanket so she sneaked out of my blanket after I fell asleep. Whenever I woke up and found her outside of my blank I would put her in again, she never refused it but she would sneak out again after I fell asleep, sometime this occurred sever time during the night until I was too tired to track her down.

I also love the dogs. We were not allowed to have dog at that time. But after 76's earthquake, we lived in my father's company for a while. And there was one employee who had a dog. Me and my younger brother who was 5 year old played with that dog all day long, one time my little brother tried to ride that dog like a horse and got that owner mad. But he knew my father knew very well and my little brother didn't get any trouble.

It was there we lost one of my cats. She was ran over by a big truck and died on the street right away and I was crying for her for several days.
