The flowers bloom regularly in three seasons, and the fruits of the four seasons are fragrant. The first village in Weibei is my hometown. My hometown, Majiapo, is a small mountain village with beautiful scenery and fragrant flowers and fruits.
More than 100 families in the village are scattered on the slope of seven ditches and eight beams, above which is Qingshi Mountain, below the loess slope, the average altitude is more than 700 meters, the yellow cotton soil, leeward to the sun, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the fruit produced is early in maturity, a large color, high sugar content, crisp and sweet, and is famous in history as the hometown of miscellaneous fruits. After the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, the appearance of mountain villages has undergone tremendous changes. With the development and growth of traditional fruits such as persimmons, pomegranates, apricots, and peppercorns and the strong drive of rural tourism, the material living standards and spiritual life of the villagers pursue what is called sesame blossoming - high and high. Wide asphalt roads, rows of solar street lights, bungalows and buildings are lined up one after another, persimmon greenhouses with red roofs and blue roofs are brilliant, there is running water in front of the house, and more than a dozen farmhouses that have become large-scale are often tourists, that is, the cars that are only in the city have been popularized in the village.
Hometown, there are four seasons in a year, and the four seasons are different.
The beauty of home is in spring.
The beauty of spring lies in the spring grass. Early in the spring before the sunny slope, because the mountain village is in the arms of a huge dustpan shape, the leeward is warm, the sunshine time is long, and the weeds such as white grass and wild artemisia on the hillside wake up particularly early, like the green messenger of spring, Yin Yin Fangcao, which smears the hillside in early spring with a brush of green and yellow.
The beauty of spring is in the almond trees, peach trees, pear trees, pomegranate trees. All kinds of flowers bloom in the first place, white, red, pink, brilliant branches, attracting bees and butterflies. As simple and pure as a young girl's first growth, ChuChu is lovely; Like the bride-to-be who tried on the wedding dress all over again, she has a graceful posture and cannot hide her longing for happiness in her shyness; It is also very much like the four seasons axis that has just opened a Danqing magic hand, which makes people full of expectations in surprise.
The beauty of spring is on people's faces and hearts. There are many tourists on Hutou Mountain, calling for friends and companions, climbing to the top of the mountain, overlooking the vast qinchuan land, oh-howl-howl, full of pride and ambition. At this time, it is common to find romantic poets in the forest under the trees, wandering in the shallow chanting and singing, with the simple and vigorous, old trees and new flowers as the background of photography, busy posing handsome men and beautiful women, from time to time in the forest flowers looming, helping the old and the young tourists, and the silhouette of the old farmer who ploughs the plough in the distance.
Hey, even if you close your eyes and smell the flowers, the wonderful picture is enough to be intoxicating.
The beauty of home is in the summer.
Hometown in summer is sweet. The first ripe fruit of the year, the yellow apricot, ripens, and the best thing to eat is of course the large apricot. Large, golden in color, thick in flesh, juicy, sweet with a little sour, nutritious, is a superior fruit for entertaining relatives and friends. Especially the ripe large apricot, with two fingers lightly pinched into two petals, the core and the flesh are easily separated, wow, out of the two nests of juice water, bite a bite, refreshing, endless aftertaste, is really a human fairy fruit also. In addition to the large apricot there are other varieties, such as the woolly apricot, rapeseed yellow apricot, meat apricot, poured apricot, Cao apricot, sheep feces egg apricot (small round head, because of its shape like sheep feces and named), etc., but the taste is not as good as the large apricot. Most almonds are sweet and edible, and bitters can be medicated.
Home in summer is cool. The older generations of the hometown people have lived in earthen cave dwellings and grounded in the ground. Even if life improves later and families build new houses, the elderly still linger on the ancient cave habit of earthen kilns, because its constant temperature characteristics of "warm in winter and cool in summer and sand temperature in February and August" are very suitable for human habitation. In order to make the earth kiln live more open and comfortable, people will transform it, use sand and gray bricks to re-hoop the inside, white mortar white wall paint white, install bright glass doors and windows, new furniture, really fairy cave. The farms that have been developed in recent years have retained the characteristics of the earthen kiln residence and are very popular with tourists. Every time there is three volts in the middle of summer, people in the city rush to come here to escape the heat, and some live for more than a month.
Summer home is poetic. Whenever evening comes, leaning on the dark Taibai Mountain, looking at the hazy Guanzhong Plain in the south, countless lamps and stars in the sky, your state of mind will suddenly become open, clear, and deep. People finished a day's work, a few dishes, a plate of steamed bread, a pot of tea, a few bottles of beer, a few bamboo rattan chairs, the dogs lying under the table lazily wagging their tails, the large LCD TV in the guest hall is playing TV dramas, the old man sips wine, smokes, occasionally plays a few jokes with his wife, the little grandchildren crawl on the grandmother's knees, listening to the legend of the cowherd weaver girl, and the son and daughter-in-law are arguing about the plot of the TV series. Suddenly, a burst of mobile phone ringing broke the serenity, tranquility and warmth of this summer night.
Summer in my hometown belongs to poets, painters and musicians.
The beauty of home is in autumn.
The hometown in autumn is like a warrior on the battlefield, with a triumphant medal; like a pregnant woman who is giving birth in October; and like a beautiful harvest symphony.
Autumn hometown is red. Red peppercorns. Hometown is rich in peppercorns, large, colorful, thick skin, fragrant and spicy, is the necessary seasoning for cooking meat, cooking, known as the king of peppercorns, the purchase price has increased year by year. Pepper picking, drying is the key, from the summer vacation every year to the end of September is the picking period, pepper farmers often come out early and return late, the head is scorched in the sun, the arm pepper, mosquito bites under the feet, the steamed buns eaten by drinking water are spicy, it is really who knows the pepper on the plate, the grains are hard. Drying should be dried on the day of good weather, otherwise the color will be worse and it will not sell at a good price.
Red pomegranate. The pomegranate area of the hometown is more than 700 mu, and the annual output is several hundred tons. Pomegranate is divided into two kinds, sweeter than the sour color, more colorful than the sweet pomegranate in Lintong, but the seeds are harder. Sour pomegranate is a big color red, full of particles, tight seeds, juicy and delicious, sweet in the acid, pleasing to the eye, refreshing, the price is often double or even several times higher than the sweet pomegranate, in terms of fruit shape and color is better than the sour pomegranate of Liquan. The finished fruit is generally more than 300 grams, high-quality fruit can reach 500 grams, and the pomegranate has a pomegranate growing to more than 2,000 grams, as the pomegranate king has also been on the Yangling Agricultural Expo. At present, the fruit farmers' work technology and preservation technology are advanced, the packaging is exquisite, and fresh pomegranates can be bought from the autumn market to May and June of the next year, which has become a must-have for the Fuping Township Party to gift relatives and friends from other places.
Red persimmons. The hometown enjoys the reputation of "the land of persimmons", the legend of "persimmon tree sealing" has been passed down for thousands of years, and the processing technology of persimmon cake has been passed down for hundreds of years. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, when you come to Majiapo, you can see thousands of acres of persimmon trees all over the ditches and beams, the fruits are low on the branches, the green leaves support the red fruits, and the trees can be photogenic, and the scene is so shocking and spectacular.
Every year, before the frost falls, the villagers clean up the persimmon greenhouse early, remove dust and disinfect, put rope through the frame, overhaul the machine, and everything is ready to stop. As soon as the frost has fallen, the Battle of Persimmon Cake officially begins. Households are large and small, men, women and children, all are dressed up, and large persimmon households often need some hired workers. Picking, cutting (cutting persimmons into short and moderate thongs), pulling, troweling, peeling, hanging rack, disinfection, pounding (pinching) the heart, drying, wrapping, moisture, removing shelves and a whole set of processes down, it took more than two months. When persimmons are picked without missing the farm, the best time to pick is between frost and winter. Picking early, the cake yield is low and the quality is poor; the picking is late, the persimmon sugar heart is softened, and the cake cannot be hammered. If the persimmons picked back cannot be put on the shelves in time, they will become soft and can only be made into vinegar blanks. In order to solve this problem, now fruit farmers basically have cold storage, first picked and then processed. Therefore, persimmon farmers are the hardest at this stage. Inside and outside the house, on and off the shed, the electric lights are bright all night, the leather machine flies day and night, and people have little time to eat and sleep. After all the persimmons are on the shelves, you can breathe a sigh of relief.
This season, Majiapo is a boiling red ocean. Not only are tourists bustling and cars crowded, but the persimmon red is everywhere and the persimmon fragrance is soaked in the air, making people truly appreciate what is the world of persimmons. CCTV documentary report "Persimmon Red All Over Majiapo", CCTV hit series "Years and Years of Persimmon Red", will find real scenes here.
The persimmons were red, and the grower's heart was drunk. Hometown persimmon cake with its large, thin skin thick flesh, red and bright background, heavy frost, soft glutinous sweet, rich nutrition and other characteristics, not only by domestic consumers love, but also sell well in South Korea and other countries and regions. Fruit farmers' pockets are also bulging, and the annual income of ordinary families with persimmon cakes is 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, and 100,000 yuan households are also everywhere.
The beauty of home is in winter. When the wind tore off the last few yellow leaves of the apricot tree, the mountain village returned to the silence and depression of winter. This is when the fruit trees are cut in winter, and the growers do not nest in the winter, and they usually make orchards. The bare branches of the tree are more conducive to plastic pruning. There are also orchards to take advantage of the rake, fertilize and irrigate winter irrigation, lay a good foundation for next year's harvest, and save energy.
A thick winter snow, the small mountain village overnight into a world of pink makeup and jade, Ruixue Mega Year! It was only at this time that the slow life mode was turned on in the hometown. The most low-key and pragmatic old fruit farmers often bake the stove kang, two small dishes, or only a plate of peanut rice, warm a pot of Xifeng old wine, and call one or two old guys to gossip. Or only the old two sit against each other, you a cup of me a cup, there is not a sentence, take stock of the year's income and expenditure, estimate the next year's several large expenditures, in addition to fertilizers and pesticides, mechanical maintenance, car costs, portal etiquette and Gadamasi, to the son to buy a house in the county, mortgage must be counted as a standard, the cost of the grandson to go to college is not less than a penny. The income of his family is really quite a lot, but the expenditure is also very large.
The most unsavory thing was that the offspring, in groups of three or five, gathered together, rubbing mahjong, playing poker, and playing chess. There is also a self-music team, playing and singing, roaring a board of Qin cavity, singing a piece of eyebrows, and having a drama addiction. There are more big moms who love square dance, gathered under the idle persimmon shed, stepping on the rhythm, the color fan flying up and down, the waist and limbs swinging left and right, the dance posture is elegant and graceful, the look is cheerful and confident, and they have danced in the winter, and I heard that in recent years, the county has won the square dance competition award. The most popular is the old drum team, through the guidance of the old drum master of the old temple, the skills are greatly improved, and at the wedding scene of the cao village within a radius of ten miles, it is really famous. The sound of drums that vibrate and roar brings the breath and vitality of spring to the winter in the mountain village.
The beauty of the hometown is in all seasons of the year, the beauty is in the mountains, the beauty is in the water, the beauty is in the trees, and the beauty is in the people. It was the party's policy of enriching the people that blossomed and bore fruit. It is the hard-working and kind fathers and villagers who have created and are creating a better and happier life.
I will always love my hometown.
