     My parents and I have less time together than apart. They have part-time jobs in the other places all year long, who just come back for few days during the Spring Festival. However, my parents have told me that they love me and they make money in the other places in order to make my grandparents and me live the best life.
      My parents did so as what they said. Please look at my clothes, Jack Jones and shoes, Adidas, both of which are great brand father bought for me as well as the mobile phone mother bought for me with more than 4,000yuan. Each festival and the Spring Festival during a year, my parents always sent things from the city where they work to my grandparents and me in big and small bags, including food, clothes and daily supplies.
      Last year’s Mid-Autumn day, my parents sent us moon cakes with Daoxiang Cun brand, which is said to be famous. The iron box packaged the moon cakes is colorful, so even now my grandma did not discard it. To be honest, that moon cake is just-so-so, no special from others when eating. Later, my father asked me by phone: “Are those moon cakes taste good?” I coldly replied:“Okay.” My father was angry, and he said: “You guys mouth is too special. You say the moon cakes cost thousand yuan just okay.” I felt wronged, because I really tasted it just-so-so.
      On the Mid-Autumn day of this year, my big cousin married, and my parents came back unprecedented. Because they came back in hurry, they did not give us any present, even the moon cakes. My grandpa just bought some ones in the market stall. However, I was happier than any other time, and my grandparents looked like picking up a gold ingot during those days. On the day August 15th, the first time reunited together the whole family. My grandparents busied in and out of the kitchen, so the lunch was very sumptuous, and even the dinner. During the dinner, my parents gave a toast to my grandparents, and the latter drunk. I served meals for my parents, which made them happy. After the feast, the whole family enjoyed the moon in the yard. When my grandma took out the moon cakes, I suddenly grabbed one, eating and say: “The moon cake in this year is so delicious. Dad and mom you have one.”
