It was time for the annual Potato-Salad Contest in Russet Park. After trying for the third time, Alexis shook her head sadly. There was no way she would win the Golden Potato again because Grandpa wasn’t here this year.
Memories of how Grandpa taught her to make potato rose in her mind. She sighed and missed Grandpa so much.
Alexis cut the potatoes and mixed the boiled potatoes, some sauces and a little salt and peppers in a bowl. But it didn’t taste right. Alexis tried a bite of the salad mixture, wondering what was missing. Seeing her frown, Mom suggested, “What about something spicy? Your Grandpa loved spicy things.”
“You’re right! Maybe he put a jalapeno pepper in it,” Alexis said, cutting up a bright green jalapeno and adding it to the bowl.
It was closer, but it still didn’t taste right. Alexis was drooping her head, disappointed. “Should we look in a cookbook?”
“Grandpa was never one to follow a recipe,” Dad entered the kitchen and said.
It was true. People loved Grandpa’s potato salad because it was one of a kind. Alexis remembered posing with Grandpa for a photo while they were making the salad.
Photo! That gave her an idea. Alexis hurried to the bookcase and found an old photo album. She immediately flipped it open, expecting to find clues in the photos there. Lots of photos showed Grandpa and Grandma cooking together. Dad laughed, “He and Grandma loved to tease each other but he always called her Honey.”
“Do you think he put honey in the potato salad?” Mum asked.
“It is worth a try,” said Alexis. She stirred some honey into the bowl.
But it still wasn’t quite right. Alexis’ heart sank, on the verge of giving up. Dad kept flipping the album. At the end of the album was the picture of Grandpa and Alexis making the salad together.
It looked like Grandpa was crying in the photo.

Last summer, Chen, a senior high school student, decided to give a surprise to his parents. He knew how hard they worked every day and wanted to help them by taking on some housework.
Chen wanted to try cooking for his parents. He chose a few special dishes that he knew his parents loved. His younger brother eagerly offered to help, and Chen agreed, keeping their plan a secret from their parents.
Chen and his brother started early. They went to the market to buy ingredients: vegetables, spices, and all the necessary items for their chosen dishes. When they returned home, they began to prepare the meal.
Chen and his brother were busy in the kitchen. They washed vegetables and meat, and prepared other ingredients with great care. They laughed and joked as they worked, enjoying the time spent together. Chen took the lead in mixing the sauces and controlling the heat while cooking, ensuring that everything was cooked well.
As the smell of the cooking filled the kitchen, Chen’s brother couldn’t contain his excitement. “This is going to be amazing! Mom and Dad will be so surprised,” he said with a happy smile. Chen smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment and expectation.
Finally, after hours of hard work, the dishes were ready. The kitchen was filled with a delightful smell. Chen and his brother carefully plated the dishes, making sure everything looked nice. They added a heartfelt thank-you card to the table, expressing their gratitude for their parents’ hard work and love.
When their parents arrived home and walked into the dining room, they were greeted by the sight of a beautifully set table and the food. Chen’s parents were surprised.
Chen and his brother smiled. “We wanted to thank you for everything you do for us,” Chen explained. “So we made dinner for you.”
Their parents were deeply moved and they sat down to eat.
