  After much thought,I came up with a brilliant plan.I worked out a way for Rich to meet my mother and win him over.In fact,I arranged it so my mother would want to cook a meal especially for him.

  Rich was not only not Chinese and he was a few years younger than I was.And unfortunately,he looked much younger with his curly red hair,smooth pale skin,and the splash of orange freckles(雀斑) across his nose.He was a bit on the short side,compactly built.In his dark business suits,he looked nice but easily forgettable,which was why I didn't notice him the first year we worked together at the firm.But my mother noticed everything.

  "So what do you think of Rich?" I finally asked,holding my breath.

  She tossed the eggplant in the hot oil,angry hissing sound."So many spots on his face," she said.

  "They are freckles.Freckles are good luck." I said a bit too heatedly in trying to raise my voice above the noise of the kitchen.

  "Oh?" She said innocently.

  "Yes,the more spots the better."

  She considered this a moment and then smiled and spoke in Chinese,"When you were young,you got the chicken pox.So many spots,you had to stay home for ten days.So lucky,you thought."

I couldn't save Rich in the kitchen.And I couldn't save him later at the dinner table.
