The family on this farm lives at the foot of the mountain. On the afternoon of New Year's Eve every year, we climb the back hill and come back from our hometown. Mother-in-law said there were many wild millet peppers on the mountain, so we took a small bag and began to climb the mountain. We walked through the rubber garden covered with vegetation, and then carefully trudged along this rugged path. My husband and son grabbed my mother-in-law's hand several times and pulled it up, with heavier and heavier steps. Finally, they climbed to the top of the mountain and saw trees covered and pepper fruits everywhere. As we walked, we looked for peppers and felt the fresh air in the mountains. The breeze and Buddha's face are intoxicating. Soon, wild millet pepper, ripe pineapple and papaya were all put into our pockets, regardless of the harvest, but we felt the joy of picking.
On the first day of every year, we all go to our classmates' home to pay New Year's greetings like brothers. On this day, two pairs of students also went there. We not only tasted Wenchang chicken in China, but also ate pollution-free vegetables grown by classmates. After lunch, everyone went fishing in my classmate's fish pond. My father-in-law and husband took the initiative to dig earthworms as bait. Unfortunately, the weather was cold, and tilapia didn't want to take the bait and hid in the grass.
On the fourth day of lunar new year's eve, the temperature soared and it was hot enough to wear short sleeves. In the afternoon, we went for an outing along a winding river. In the past, dozens of acres of rice fields have been replaced by fruit trees such as plantains. We stepped on the path trodden by villagers and listened to the gurgling water and the singing of birds. It is so crisp and sweet, so euphemistic, and slowly, the clear river seems to flow into my heart and all over my body. After a walk along the river bank, we set foot on a cement road. Many years ago, a village road of the government was very popular with the people. Every village had a spacious cement road. Along the way, from the fish pond in front of the mountain to the rubber garden, pepper garden, betel nut forest and coconut forest behind the house, laughter and laughter extended all the way to the village. As long as there is a pace of life, there is a road and there is a beautiful harvest. In recent years, peppers and betel nuts have been sold. Every family has built a building and a spacious yard, which is the envy of the city people. My father-in-law introduced whose home and land this is, and met many deja vu faces on the road, which made people have to sigh the passage of time, the vicissitudes of time and the hardships of rural people. Some of them have become our unforgettable backs, and some have become the scenery of our lives. We walked 4 kilometers from west to north this afternoon.
On the fifth day of Lunar New Year, our classmates invited us to go fishing in the reservoir. This is one of our projects in the past two years. There are trees around the reservoir and the reflection is dancing. The water in the reservoir is crystal clear, and the grass roots are rippling with the blue waves at the bottom. I saw a group of wild geese swimming freely in the water, falling into the water for a while, standing on the water for a while, flapping their wings, splashing, quacking and chasing each other away. Just like a beautiful oil painting, my classmates are experts in fishing. After casting the net, he patted a penny on the water. The tilapia was frightened and caught in the net, so it was full every time, and it was a delicious fish feast that day.
On the afternoon of Lunar New Year's Eve, we went to the village road in the east for an outing, crossed the tree-lined rubber forest and walked on the country road. This used to be the place where I picked myrtle, rice, bamboo and thatch when I was a child. My husband said that it was also the place where he played, fished and stole coconuts when he was a child. Now it is a large-scale stone field. We looked for the footprints of childhood in the pepper garden all over the mountain, as if we had gone back to childhood and heard it. On the roadside, we also picked a handful of pumpkin flowers, which was delicious to take home to cook soup or scrambled eggs. Walking forward, I was surprised to see a pond submerged in a faint green tree. There is an ancient banyan tree with dense branches and leaves by the pond. Its trunk is full of vitality, full of wrinkles of years, like a huge umbrella covering a large green pond. The breeze blows over the water, the water ripples, and the reflection of green trees in the water is beautiful. My husband climbed trees with great interest and felt the fun of childhood. I quickly picked up the camera. Like this quiet and beautiful environment, it is like traveling in a pictorial world!
The air in the countryside is fresh, and the exquisite nature has created many wonderful scenery. Hainan is full of flowers and beautiful trees. Feel the beautiful nature with your heart. This is nature's return to mankind.
