It's time for the grapefruit to ripen again

In the golden autumn of October, in the red land of Guangfeng District in northeast Jiangxi, a wave of infinite "incense" is rushing. In these rich years, I can't help but reminisce about the spring when the flowers are flowing, that is, the time when green rushes and soars dreams. When it comes to flowers, the leader is the teak tree in his hometown. In the middle of April, the white flowers blooming in the green of one tree and one tree are like the splashing waves of the Xinjiang River, crystalline, pure, white and fine, and beautiful. Following the fragrance of the grapefruit flowers, I stepped forward and traced the green wave and the sweet fragrance of Majiayu's hometown.

Looking back at the end of the fields in May, the slopes of the mountains, the grapefruit flowers are hanging like snow-white trumpets all over the branches. In the distance, a cluster, dense turns, fine flowers, such as thousands of white butterflies falling in the teak forest; a closer look, a thin "white snow" floating under the tree, leaning over to pick up a grapefruit flower, small white petals set off the lilac flower buds, small and lovely. These teak trees, the branches and leaves are greener every year, and the grapefruit flowers are more fragrant every year. Such a thriving teak tree symbolizes that the people of Yuzu Township live better and better every year. You see, the teak trees all over the mountains have covered the mountains with layers of green with the advantage of vigorous upward mobility, and the stars in the evergreen bushes are dotted with white, swaying postures, competing to open, and becoming a beautiful scenery in The grapefruit village.

As a grapefruit town, Guangfeng people are generous, simple and hospitable. At noon that day, we dined at the "Xinrong Majia Pomelo Base" in Zitang Village, and the owner showed the friendship of the landlord, and majia grapefruit juice was placed on the table, which was original. A table of folk dishes, including stir-fried green peppers, pork bud spring eggplant, wood-fired braised chicken, bacon steamed grapefruit peel and so on. The chopsticks of the literati always walk back and forth in a large magnetic bowl of steaming, fragrant grapefruit skin steamed bacon, like dragonflies dotting water. After a while, a large bowl of grapefruit skin steamed bacon was gone.

I have a long-standing liking for the grapefruit flowers in my hometown because she is quiet, pure, delicate, not ostentatious, not proud. Looking at the grapefruit flowers, I feel grateful. Thanks to this era, the grapefruit has become the fruit of wealth, and the teak tree has become the tree of fortune. Every year after the golden autumn, Huang Chengcheng's grapefruit polishes the eyes of the people of Yuzu. The face of joy, a touch of barrenness on the yellow land in the past. Whenever I go back to my hometown, as long as I see a teak tree, I will stop and take a closer look. The flowering period of the teak tree is up to one month, and after the Qingming Festival, the grapefruit buds that are full of mountains gradually open their eyes and flourish. That tree after tree, cluster after cluster of white and delicate flowers, bloomed happily, shiny and beautiful, and opened surprisingly!

In recent years, Guangfeng people have grasped Majiayu as a pillar industry, and have developed from a mother tree to more than 100,000 mu of rich forests. Teak poverty alleviation, teak poverty alleviation has become a visible and tangible reality. No, at the beginning of October, the golden harvest surrounds the people. The picked grapefruit filled the courtyard of the hall, sat on a minibus, bus, and took a long-distance train to bring the fragrance of grapefruit to all directions of the motherland. The grapefruit shines on CCTV, and the golden phoenix of the grapefruit town has become a good story. Every year, after the frost falls, the streets and alleys of my hometown, the bazaars, and both sides of the Guangyu Highway are filled with golden grapefruit, waiting for customers from all over the world to buy. There are retail, there are batches. It was a sweet deal that had never been done before. My family's teak garden of one hundred and twenty teak trees, the grapefruit branches fluttering, the fragrance of grapefruit is pervasive. As soon as you step into the teak garden, you will feel very intimate and intoxicated. Every year, 6,000 catties of fruit are hung, and the net income is 18,000 yuan. Every hundred-dollar bill jumped with a red light of joy.

Strolling through the mountains, the fresh aroma of grapefruit comes to your face. The moonlit night with thin clouds and thin stars, the breeze is gentle, the fragrance of grapefruit is lingering, and the heart is relaxed and pleasant. Wandering in a forest of grapefruit trees, the breeze blowing, the grapefruits touching their ears, whispering, that subtle natural sound, crisp, sweet, flexible, pleasant, far-reaching.

At night in Yuzu Township, bright street lamps appear in the depths of Yuzu Township, giving people a beautiful hazy feeling. Dating one or two friends, talking about heaven and earth, stepping into the grapefruit forest, eavesdropping on the secret love of yuzu, peeking at the traces of their secret sending Qiu Bo, is a kind of wild fun, a kind of Xi Ji, a kind of enjoyment. If you stop and listen carefully, there are a few faint sounds of dogs barking from time to time on the other side of the cottage. The sound of snoring and sweet whispers came from the small buildings in the countryside, full of ears and eyes. In the dim light, the breeze is fragrant, and my mind is full of heavy grapefruit.

In the season of fragrant grapefruit, I sat on a bluestone strip under the Majia grapefruit tree in front of my house, facing the Little Mother River, and a ming Dynasty Guangfeng great literary scholar Xia Shangpu told the old man to return to his hometown to travel to The Great South, and the scene of tasting the Majia grapefruit was vividly remembered. I thank Ma Shizu for leaving such a sweet "filial piety fruit" to future generations, so that our generation can inherit the "filial piety" culture. Isn't it? When the golden fruit is overflowing, visit relatives and friends, visit the sick, respect the elderly, hold three or five, carry one or two boxes, and integrate friendship and filial piety into the beautiful years.

In the time when the grapefruit town is full of greenery and vitality, pink peach blossoms and snow-white pear blossoms are dotted with branches. The golden canola flowers are endless. It shines with grapefruit flowers. There are watertight peaches in May, cinnamon pears in June, sweet melons in July, star fruit in August, earth chestnuts in September, and majia grapefruit after October. In fact, no matter which season, Guangfeng has a lot of surprises to look forward to. A few years ago, Majiayu was 15-20 yuan per kilogram, which became the villagers' "fragrant food" for a while, and the villagers' economic income doubled. Since then, this "filial piety fruit" has been regarded as a rarity by the villagers, and the villagers themselves can't eat it, sell the sweet grapefruit for money, exchange it for cars, and build new buildings one after another.

Lao Chen of Gucun Village in Danan Town saw the broad prospects of Majiayu and used his whole family to set up three Majiayu seedling bases, and also extended the seedling bases to Bengbu and other places in Anhui. Old Chen, who was in his early forties, and I was from the Ben family, he was not tall, but he was full of energy. See our line of people talking and laughing, talking like spring breeze, handing cigarettes to make tea. He has been working hard in Haoxi, Zhejiang Province for more than 10 years, and he has achieved a small success, which is a grapefruit and a cup of hometown soil that attracts him to return to his hometown to start a business. What he values is the party's policy of enriching the people, the beautiful ecology of his hometown and the broad prospects for planting Majia grapefruit. Along a sheep gut trail, Lao Chen took us to see his Majia teak seedling base, at the intersection of Aotou Road, in Taipingshan Lane, one by one, one by one, planted according to the mountain, the mountain side also built a "visiting garden" and "reception room", and a line of green and eye-catching characters "Majiayu Poverty Alleviation Base" was erected on the field. He said that last year, his income from grapefruit seedlings and grapefruit exceeded 6 million yuan. There are more than a dozen poor families in the village who work in his seedling base and pay about 2,000 monthly wages, so that their lives have a basic guarantee. Listening to his words, I was shocked and wondered if my ears had heard wrong. Standing on the hillside, looking at the grapefruit trees that are full of grapefruit and growing strongly in the sun, Lao Chen is full of confidence, and with a wave of his arm, he said: "By next year, there will be more than 20,000 grapefruit trees hanging fruit, and at that time, I invite you to eat grapefruit, you must come." When you return to the city, I will send you another red silk bag full of yellow majia grapefruit to make your whole family sweet enough! ”

"So many teak trees, so many grapefruit every year, don't you worry about selling?" A friend asked him worriedly. At this time, a young college student village official pointed to a tree of golden grapefruit and interjected: "If you have goods, you are not worried about poverty, you have no goods to worry about, you have passed the quality, and you are not afraid of piling up mountains of grapefruits." Quality does matter. In order to improve the quality of grapefruit, the agricultural technology departments at the district and town levels send technicians to the door every year to deliver technology and books, and also hold special training courses to explain how to manage and how to prevent diseases and insect pests. Yes, in recent years, the scale of planting in Danan Town has expanded several times, and every village in the town has set up an e-commerce platform, and has also introduced a number of local specialty e-commerce enterprises from other places to adopt the model of "e-commerce + agricultural cooperatives + farmers", with the purpose of making the tickets solid in the pockets of the masses and making the people's lives "grapefruit" fragrant and "grapefruit" sweet. Old Chen said with deep feeling.

Accompanying us on our visit was a deputy director of the village, who excitedly told me the story of Majiayu's poverty alleviation. He said that every year for each poor household, the village sends 10 Majia teak seedlings free of charge, which has been interrupted for five consecutive years, and these poor households plus their own plantings basically reach more than 100 trees per household. After the grapefruit is ripe, the village and town package sales to solve the worries of poor households, and many poor households have an annual net income of more than 10,000 yuan.

The introduction of Lao Chen and the village cadres made our group's hearts bright, and a kind of happiness that was sweet to the heart filled the whole body. Looking at a tree with a huge grapefruit wafting with fragrance, a magnificent and gorgeous long scroll of "green hope" is splendidly embroidered on the chest. My mood rippled with a joy I had never felt before. This joy surges through the green mountains and white clouds, stretching between fields and villages.
