In Lingnan this season, there is a kind of tree full of green 'noodles' that is more accurate to say 'cowpeas'
The canopy is towering, which is really out of line compared to the vines that produce cowpeas.
This is the sugar gum tree, this tree species from South America is leafy in front of my eyes, and its tenacious and peculiar form almost subverts my cognition.
Some people call it like a bark tree, some people call it a blackboard tree, some people call it a devil tree, and some people start imagining it as a fortune tree or a tree to ward off evil spirits.
However, among its many aliases, I love the name lampstand tree even more.
The long strips of fruit hanging high on the tree are really similar to countless vertical lamp tubes hanging in the air, which is particularly ritualistic.
In my meditation, those green tubes should be energized, and when the switch is pressed, the brilliance of the tree will overwhelm the sky.
Perhaps, under those green lights, fairy tales can be deduced.
This gum tree seemed to open a hole in my brain.
However, the name of the gum tree is not casually called, it turns out that the milk that can be secreted from the tree is the gum in the gum.
Doesn't a tree that can produce gum produce economic benefits? What a real plant! But it is even related to naïve romance.
Chewing gum, I called gum for a while when I was a child.
The time I chewed gum was also when I was in elementary school.
It's not unusual for children to chew incense and enter the classroom.
But the teacher must not allow chewing? The last thing that the teacher can allow is for the student to blow bubbles with chewing gum in the classroom.
Students blowing bubbles is addictive, and what is fun is that bubbles are blown to the point where they can no longer be blown.
Saying that it can no longer be blown, in fact, it is also when the bubble is blown to the maximum.
But just with a little bit of blowing, "Poof! "The bubble burst immediately.
As a result, all attention is focused in the classroom to the place where the noise is made.
The next step is to watch the teacher's play, it is indispensable to reiterate discipline, and the more serious is the penalty station!
Pranks related to chewing gum are also common tricks used by elementary school students, such as: male classmates use chewed gum to secretly throw on the long hair of female classmates.
Now, many years later, such a prank is followed by a feeling of happiness and happiness.
The sugar gum tree in front of me has passed its flowering period, but the past of the teenager came uninvited, and it turned out that I was distracted.
