No matter when and where, food occupies an irreplaceable position in a person's life, and the vegetable garden is a green and environmentally friendly base for rural families that does not cost a penny. It is a natural bank for improving life and raising children.
The open space in front of and behind the yard, the plot of the private land, the wilderness beside the river beach, and the edge of the woodland were all opened up by careful and hard-working villagers, taking advantage of the free time when the weather was cloudy and rainy, and took the time to carve out hoe after hoe.
Taking advantage of the gap between early morning and after sunset, plant a few rows of cabbage, onions and garlic, a few rows of green vegetables, and radishes at will. The days will be interesting and the housewives will naturally be happy.
Countryside people are very particular about growing vegetables, making full use of the width, length, and length of the field and the order of growth.

The grass in the river beach and the ditch poked their little heads out, standing happily in the soft wind, with their pupils wide open, staring at the vibrant world.

Land is the lifeblood of farmers, and vegetable gardens are the magic weapon for farmers to support their families.
After a winter of dormancy and rest, the vegetable garden can¡¯t wait for people to cultivate and plant.

The soil and water support the people. A vegetable garden nourishes a home.
The ordinary, plain, casual and simple country vegetable garden feeds people who are strong, strong, strong-boned and tall, and grow up day by day.
¡°I heard from Sun¡¯s father that their food rations were limited at that time, and they ran out of food every April and May. Although the state provided food, it could only meet urgent needs.
Everyone knows it very well, as clear as a mirror. Everyone works hard on their own private land, especially the vegetable garden, which is close to home.

When the pak choi eaters feel a little tired in their stomachs, the leeks of "Yushu Linfeng" have grown taller, the branches and leaves of "slim" green vegetables have grown gratifyingly, showing their vitality and youthful vitality, while the sword beans on the edge of the ground have also quietly grown. The seedlings extend out long vines, climbing up and up the wall, drilling into the middle of the ground, or climbing up along the inserted bamboo poles.
The bean sprouts beside the wall were pulled apart, decorating the dilapidated courtyard wall into a?The green curtains are so beautiful.
After a while, the golden flowers of the sunflower will grow bigger and bigger, and by then even the branches will be covered with flowers.
Sun Gang remembered that when he was a child, there were too many sunflowers. His mother told them to keep a few and delete the rest of the branches and flowers without any regrets, otherwise it would affect the fruit.
The flowers fall and bear fruit, and after the flowers wither, a large plate is filled with dense fruits.
At this time, gourd flowers are also in full bloom, and small gourds sprout from the middle of the flower stamens.
Here and there, the erigerons left behind last year have appeared one after another, rushing to join in the fun. In addition, white butterflies and yellow butterflies have arrived uninvited and fluttered around, adding a lot of color to the vegetable garden.
In life, unexpected gains always give people unexpected surprises and joy.
Sun Gang clearly remembered that one time when his mother asked him to look for a gourd, he was overjoyed to find a huge gourd in the dense grass. He carefully pinched it off and held it in his arms, feeling as excited as if he had picked up a gold ingot. Abnormality-for dinner that day, there was a gift of gourd vegetables on the dining table at home.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are no surprises. Without hard work, there is no harvest. Without persistent efforts, there is no sweet gain.
It¡¯s just that many times it is blinded and blocked by appearances and falsehoods, and people think it is an accident.
The sword beans are dense and numerous. If you pick a dozen bean sprouts, you can cook a dish.

? Rural vegetable gardens not only grow vegetables, but also trees.
¡°Many families in the village plant fruit trees such as apples, pears, apricots, and grapes in their own vegetable gardens, so children will not be so greedy.
In the past, Sun Gang¡¯s family planted several pear trees and an apricot tree, which ensured the family¡¯s fruit supply for most of the year.
The pear tree was grafted with a new variety, which tastes crispy, fragrant and soft, while the apricots were also grafted with large-knot apricots - which mature early, have good meat quality, good taste, and are large and delicious.
Every time Sun¡¯s mother gave the sweet ones to the two brothers, Sun Gang, and gave them to neighbors, relatives and friends, including relatives both near and far, while the ones she kept for herself could only be small ones.
When there are excess vegetables in the vegetable garden, Sun¡¯s mother also takes the time to send some to her neighbors.
At that time, Sun Gang was a little confused, thinking that his mother was trying to please and curry favor with others, deliberately picking up the biggest and sweetest apricots and eating them secretly when she wasn't paying attention, in order to "strike first and gain the upper hand."
Mother Sun often says: If you have something to eat, others will have something to eat. No matter when, people should always have other people in mind.
¡°That¡¯s what she said, and that¡¯s what she did. Always think of others, try your best to give benefits and sweetness to others, and keep difficulties and hardships for yourself to enjoy.
She taught Sun Gang through her own actions and subtle words and deeds: always put yourself in others¡¯ shoes.
Following the deep and shallow roots of the rural vegetable garden, a person will easily find the care in the fragrance of mother's rice, the fragrance of the soil in his hometown, and the warm memories of the bitter and sour days.
Sometimes, consciously or unconsciously, people can¡¯t help but regurgitate the special taste from their hometown.
When chewing food, the taste buds will be opened automatically. In the vegetable garden, there are green cabbages, crispy green vegetables, fresh and tender alfalfa sprouts, fresh and fragrant leeks, slender and dense sword beans, huge and beautiful ones. gourd¡¡
Even the soft and sweet apricots, the crispy and fragrant apples, and the sour and honeyed grapes will all come to you one after another, and those clear and vivid pictures will jump into front of your eyes.
Years have passed, wind and rain have blown, but the vegetable garden still has a simple mentality and strong faith, adhering to the land that has been moistened and soaked by the sweat of our ancestors for generations, rooted in verdant green life, looking up at the sunrise and sunset, and being with the countryside that is neither humble nor overbearing. Humanity is like brotherhood and we cherish every day of our lives.
