My mom gave me some wise advice: “Nothing beats a good bite that bites back.” She was talking about her 36 for bitter-tasting food like rhubarb (大黄).
Mom’s rhubarb plant is at the east of our 37 . Grandma moved it there from the farm. 38 I’ve always regarded it as an overgrown weed.
We kept the largest garden in the neighborhood. Each growing season, we 39 the plentiful rhubarb, tomatoes, beans and carrots with our neighbors and friends. More families took the rhubarb than any other fruit.
Nearly three years ago, while 40 Mom’s flower bed, I finally asked if I could dig out her rhubarb. 41 , she didn’t bake with it anymore. “Absolutely not,” Mom said. Clearly I hadn’t 42 her devotion to it.
As I continued weeding, I thought about how rhubarb is one of the 43 plants to appear in early spring. It breaks through the snowy, icy ground before buds (芽) form on trees. How can anyone fail to 44 such a passionate desire?
When those first sprouts (嫩芽) 45 , I’d find Mom outdoors, examining them like a 46 counting a newborn’s fingers and toes. She would estimate about how long it’d be until she could make her rhubarb 47 .

Then, last summer, I searched for Mom’s 51 . I found the one for her rhubarb pie. So I 52 to give it a try. A few tries later, I 53 rhubarb pie to family and guests. It tasted incredible.
Since then I’ve come to two 54 about rhubarb. First, you can take rhubarb out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the rhubarb. And second, rhubarb’s taste may be lost on children, but adults can 55 it. Like my wise mother, I now understand that “Nothing beats a good bite that bites back.”
