224. I know it¡¯s not snow from a distance, because there is a faint fragrance coming
Today, Sun Gang and Zhao Han are going to have dinner at their aunt's house, to be precise, they are going to say thank you. This is a custom. After marriage, the newlyweds should thank their close relatives and bring some gifts to their home for a meal.
The two of them had breakfast at home. By the time Zhao Han finished cleaning up and stayed at home for a while, it was already past nine o'clock.
Zhao Han doesn¡¯t plan to go to work yet. Anyway, there are still a few days of vacation, so he can work in the town in the future, which is not far away.
My aunt¡¯s house is in a village on the edge of the town, not too far away. Sun Gang rode the small pedal that Zhao Han brought as a dowry, carrying gifts, and took his wife out of the house.
Sun Gang didn't ride too fast along the way. He enjoyed the unique scenery of early spring in the wild while riding. He was almost at his destination. There was a large apricot forest on both sides of the road outside the small village. They were all in bloom. Looking around, they were as white as snow. , all full of colors that make people imagine. Do you still think they are still huddled in a cold dream?
The two of them forgot what they came to this village for, so they and their wives parked their motorcycles aside and entered the woods.
??Looking at the apricot blossoms on the trees, they are already covered with flower buds, and some are already in full bloom. Enjoy the pink and pure color of the apricot blossoms. Although it is cloudy today, their mood is pleasant and comfortable.
Although the weather in the north is a little chilly, thinking about this rare encounter always makes me happy and don't want to leave such regrets, so Sun Gang and Zhao Han decided to watch the apricot blossoms temporarily. Anyway, it¡¯s still early before noon, so just go and catch lunch.
The two held hands and walked through the rows of apricot trees. They felt so comfortable. The fragrance of apricot flowers was floating in the wind, and their hearts were wrapped in each other's warmth. At this time, they felt the happiest.
Unconsciously, the two of them came to a mound. The high top was covered with weeds, and new shoots had sprouted out of the weeds. Judging from the shape, this mound is a ruined earth kiln left behind, with a large cave door underneath.
Sun Gang and Zhao Han climbed up the small steps next to the cave door. When they climbed up and looked into the distance, what they could see was that apricot flowers could be found everywhere around the town. In this small village, you can see the graceful and graceful figures of apricot trees in bloom everywhere. They bloom in the courtyard of a farmhouse or in the narrow alley next to the village. No matter where you are, looking at the white clusters from a distance always makes people feel amazed, and spring is spreading in every gap.
Suddenly I remembered a poem by Wang Anshi: "A spring water surrounds the flower body, and the figures are enchanting. Even if it is blown into snow by the spring wind, it is better than Nanmo to grind into dust."
During Sun Gang's soft recitation, there was an inexplicable feeling. What exactly it was, it was hard to explain. Only I could understand it slowly.
"Xiaohan, do you know that when I was in junior high school in the town, I lived at my aunt's house." Therefore, Sun Gang is relatively familiar with this area.
"Why don't you live at home?"
"At that time, I had to study in the morning and evening. I had to go to school after 5 o'clock in the morning, and I didn't finish school until after 9 o'clock in the evening" My aunt's house was only a 7-8 minute walk from the school, and it took nearly half an hour to get home, so I lived there. At my aunt's house, she only comes home for lunch.
In the fields in March, looking for the thread of memory, I turned onto the dirt road by the side of the road and followed the slope all the way up. When they raised their heads, a large apricot tree as thick as a bucket appeared in front of them. Half of the slope was dyed white by it, covering it like snow. This gave the spring fields a touch of holiness.
Old trees, dead branches, and white flowers are so harmoniously placed together that you can¡¯t help but marvel at the charm of nature.
Apricot blossoms should not be unfamiliar to Sun Gang. I remember that there were many such apricot trees planted in the village when he was a child. But things have changed, and the apricot trees in the village are no longer there, either withered or cut down to build houses. The child who climbed the tree to pick apricots has grown up.
My love for apricot blossoms stems from my childhood mischievousness. When I was a child, I was naughty by nature. I always liked to pick off the plum-like flowers during the season when apricot blossoms bloomed and put them in the empty wine bottles that my father drank. In the room, it also creates a bit of harmony and exuberance.
Although I don¡¯t know how many times I have been scolded by adults for this, I still cut off flower branches every March.
When the apricots grow, it is even more exciting for children. Sun Gang and his friends in the village always secretly pick the green apricots while the owner of the apricot tree is working in the fields.
Thinking about it now, it¡¯s really not for eating. Maybe it¡¯s just that in a simple and simple life, children lack today¡¯s toys, and there is too much time and energy in the body that has nowhere to vent. It needs to be swayed, released, and then have fun in it.
Therefore, Sun Gang has not forgotten the trick of climbing trees like a monkey until now.
At this time, Sun Gang was standing on an old apricot tree, and Zhao Han shouted: "?What kind of tree can you climb if you are so big? Come down quickly. "
Looking at Zhao Han¡¯s unique expression, Sun Gang smiled proudly. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his childhood and found his innocence again.
Looking at the apricot blossoms in full bloom, I really couldn¡¯t believe my eyes. In the field, the clusters of apricot blossoms spread out like snowflakes.
At this time, the meaning of the phrase "I know it's not snow from a distance is because there is a faint fragrance coming."! The faint fragrance of flowers comes to my nostrils, and the bees are buzzing and busy. I am not disturbed by them at all. I love flowers like honey and I am a fool.
Fascinated by these white elves, touching the nose and smelling the faint fragrance of flowers, people are intoxicated in the fields in March, and obsessed with this old apricot forest, it is like walking into a maze, the trees are tall, and the old trees where the eyes are level The branches stretch out into the open fields, and as soon as you look up, the trees are full of flowers blooming charmingly towards the sky.
A few magpies were chirping happily on the branches, completely ignoring the existence of Sun Gang and others.
Standing in this vast sea of ??flowers, I really feel a sense of selflessness. Such beautiful flowers can bloom on such rough branches. If you look closely, you will see that the flower buds are pink, tender and cute, and the petals are from the inside. The outside gradually turns white, like snow.
"Spring is blooming on the red apricot branches." The apricot blossoms awaken the spring, awaken the earth, and also intoxicate Sun Gang and his wife under the flowers.
Zhao Han has never lived in a rural area since he was a child. This is the first time he has seen such a large apricot forest.
At this moment, she was really drunk in the spring breeze of March. Because this simple flower bloomed on the branches in spring, she became the lucky one among the flower tribe.
They walked and laughed, bathing in the rain of spring flowers.
Flowers always bloom and fall sometimes, and being able to dance with the apricot blossoms in such a beautiful time is not in vain.
The apricot blossoms are in full bloom, heralding the coming of another era of peace and prosperity.
Immersed in the fragrance of apricot blossoms, reminiscing about the past, I am glad that I have not missed the attachment of this season's flowering period. In the air filled with the fragrance of flowers, Sun Gang sent a message to the apricot blossom petals with full of emotions, pasting the longing accumulated over the years in his heart. May the spring breeze reach your heart.
The wind is still gentle, pick an apricot flower and hide it in the palm of your hand, soaked in the nostalgia of time, carrying the memory of childhood. In the wind, in the poems, in the days that may be hazy or sunny, guard a true love and The years grow old together.
Accompanied by the fragrance of flowers, I think silently, spring is so beautiful, apricot blossoms, see you year after year!
