Behind the community, there is a big nursery. A few years ago, a garden owner took a fancy to this thousands of acres of open space. Leased for several years, used to develop their own seedling business, planted many different varieties of ordinary trees: banyan, camphor, osmanthus and various flowers. After years of careful care, Weng Yu has become a forest-like ocean.
I like the osmanthus forest with strong youthful colors on the roadside. Spring is graceful, and Qiu Lai is ten miles fragrant ...
In the center of the nursery, there is a stream passing through the nursery. The landform of the stream has been carefully rectified by the local department and turned into a river with a correct appearance. The river channel is more than 80 meters wide, and both sides are made of clay with a 60-degree slope. There is a cement platform with a width of 3 meters in the middle of the slope, and rows of landscape trees are planted. The overall outline of the river is trapezoidal structure, which is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom and symmetrically distributed up and down. At the top of the river, there are two flat and straight cement pavements that stretch for several kilometers.
On this tree-lined road full of leisure, there is always an endless stream of people walking. When you come here, you will truly feel that your leisure is no longer monotonous and your own road is no longer lonely. Warm and quiet environment, there is a kind of happiness away from the world; The world of green trees has a function of avoiding noise. In the morning, people who come to run and do morning exercises can be proud of the morning dew and nourish their hearts; In the evening, people who take a leisurely walk can walk in the Woods, wash their lungs and breathe. On weekends, groups of children come here to ride bicycles together. Sometimes, the most wonderful program in the children's world will be staged: there are many bird's nests in the tree. In order to get rid of the right to climb a tree and destroy the nest, three or five little boys often gather under the tree and shout "Rock, scissors, cloth, cut your briefs". The children's voice of guessing boxing often makes the birds in the jungle panic and fly far away.
Many nurseries work around weirs. However, this huge nursery has never been isolated from the outside world and has never been used to enclose the ground. No matter day or night, the surrounding residents can enter this open territory and engage in their own activities. Next to that row of osmanthus trees, students can often be seen, spreading their sketchboards, opening their feet, hunching their backs, and focusing on the wonderful scenery ahead. There are also lovers in love, couples, lurking together in this "forest". More people living in neighboring cities use their free time to grow vegetables here. The fruits of their labor are often filled with the visual senses of strolling people, so that they can enjoy the pleasing visual "big meal" again and again.
It is not only a "base" for fertile vegetables, but also a post for people to rest. At the platform in the middle of the vegetable field, there are rows of neat small trees, slim and graceful, with a height of about 2 meters. Those trees were deliberately left by pioneers, who regarded them as rare "natural" resources, as if they were natural "walls" tailored for climbing species such as loofah and beans. It is 3 meters away from the small tree and keeps pace with it. It is a row of uneven banana forests with wide banana leaves. In sunny summer, the shade blocks the sun, which is cool and comfortable. People who are often tired of walking often stop here to have a rest and enjoy themselves alone.
Walking along the river, I like to enjoy the spotless vegetables by the river. The vegetable farmers here are all small heads of households, and the vegetable area of each head of household is not large, but the planting scale gathered by the heads of many units includes many varieties in the vegetable family: lettuce with gratifying growth, smiling at the guests; Green oil wheat vegetables, accompanied by autumn wind twisting and cheerful dance; Four-leaf clover, surrounded by moss, sings the unity of green life hand in hand; Elegant four seasons green, branches spread out, leaves bathed in the glory of the sunset. All kinds of vegetables are in full swing, smiling and distributed on both sides of the river, extending vigorously in the depth direction.
What a beautiful river, what a spectacular picture. Now, bags of vegetables are covered with happy and sweet smiles, and the green leaves shine with the joy of a bumper harvest in sight. Through the curtain in front of us, who can spread the steed of thinking and gallop to yesterday's battlefield to see what it looked like when it was reclaimed?
In order to make good use of this wasteland, turn waste into treasure and make it a resource that can still be "born" on the table of the people, Chen Lao described her voice at that time.
In the years after the river regulation, both sides of the river were covered with weeds. At that time, when she saw someone else turn a barren thatched field into a vegetable garden with fragrant melons and fruits, at first, she was unable to sleep. When some thatch is cut here today, a new piece of soil will be turned over there tomorrow. Every day, she feels the pulse of the rapid "loss" of this wasteland with her heart, and she can no longer be indifferent. The uneasy mood made her quickly join the team of the reclamation army.
That day, it was calm and the warm sunshine shone on the lazy river. The river that has been sleeping for many years was awakened by the intervention of a group of old people. After lunch, she came to the west bank of the river. There is still a lot of undeveloped land here. She chose the best position, because there are concrete steps crossing, and it is very convenient to get in and out.
The intersection below is covered with wild vines. After a few steps, the whole body was hidden in the grass. She stepped on weeds and went down the stairs to the ground floor. The lower she reached, the more luxuriant the vines and grass became. With a sickle in her hand, she cut off the weeds around her by digging a hole, and then dug with a hoe. After many field investigations, it is found that the soil in this area contains a lot of stones. Although there are many stones, the land reclamation has not stopped, and a vigorous land reclamation movement is still going on as planned.
Land reclamation is really a tiring job. After nearly an hour of hard work in the crazy rattan world, the cut area is still a very stingy "hole" When she took a nap, she looked around. It's really similar to the virgin forest, and it thrives luxuriantly. Cotton vines are as thick as mother's fingers, and each wild vine extends far away, which is more than 2 meters long. Many wild vines are tangled together, and the sickle has nowhere to open. After the vine is cut off, it involves a lot of power, and it takes more energy to pull out the vine. Soon after tossing, I was sweating and exhausted, so I had to follow slowly, thinking about how to cut to save energy. Try to cut the vines from the bottom, don't roll down after cutting, and pull them out every time, so as to sort out the mess. If the rolling method is adopted, it will eventually bring trouble to the back rolling. Cutting from bottom to top is labor-saving and pragmatic.
As time goes on, the area cut down is getting bigger and bigger. In this way, it will take more than a month to mow grass and dig soil, and it will take more than a month to open up wasteland to avoid disasters.
The vegetables here are really green food. No pesticide spraying, no fertilizer application. If there is a worm, kill it manually. The inexhaustible thatch on the wasteland is piled together, dried and burned, which is the basic fertilizer for the growth of farm vegetables. Walking next to the vegetable field, you will find that there are several vats buried deep there, which are the best containers for storing fire putty, and sometimes, they are also used to store rotten vegetable leaves soaked in urine stains.
In the vegetable garden, there is also a smell of fireworks of human friendship. The people who grow vegetables in the wasteland are farmers who don't know each other living in the community. When we meet in the garden, everyone will say hello and talk. There is no market for us to live alone. When a stranger comes to that house as a guest, he will definitely come forward to ask questions, and his concern will melt in little tricks. Chen Laosheng can't plant leeks, so Li Laosheng taught her: Before planting, remove the total roots below the roots of leeks, but keep the small roots, which is conducive to growth. When harvesting leeks, the knife should be cut next to the surface of the soil. After cutting, the root surface of leek in the soil should be covered with loose soil so that the new leek can germinate.
In the vegetable garden, there is also an atmosphere of mutual assistance from time to time, emitting the fragrance of good neighborliness and friendship. Farm tools, such as buckets, hoes and shovels, are shared by you and me. You don't have small vegetable seedlings for breeding, I can provide them for you; What vegetables do you lack? You can pick some from my field. In a small vegetable garden, it is not only the richness of the four seasons, but also their simplicity and enthusiasm. They are always using the most ordinary and simple way to get along, showing the true feelings in life, writing the most beautiful warmth in the world and conveying the deepest love in life.
To tell the truth, most of the people who come to the river to grow vegetables are elderly people over 60 years old. The purpose of growing vegetables here is not to really generate income, and they don't expect too much self-sufficiency on the table. Just look at the idle land, but unfortunately no one uses it; I just feel a heart that loves labor, and I'm a little unaccustomed to being suddenly stranded. Cherish, dedication and hard work, which come from the melting quality in the rural melting pot, will still be carried forward in the "strange" environment of the city.
They used to live in the countryside. After their children bought a new house in the city, they were taken to live in the city. While enjoying their old age in a busy city, they can also take care of their grandchildren who go out to work. When grandchildren go to school, they are a little idle and empty. So they came to the river. On the surface, they are "slimming" for that "bloated" time, but in essence they are still thinking about their children. Still silently contributing to children's lives, still generously offering light and heat for children's tomorrow. They are like sunset clouds. Although the night falls slowly on the stage of life, it is still radiant. The scenery along the river is beautiful, but the most beautiful ones are sunset red and sunset glow.
