People who have been to the coast of Qinhuangdao feel that there are quite a lot of flowers there, but the flowers that have witnessed Baitagou are not inferior. Things are rare and expensive, and ordinary and ordinary. For the urban purple and red, colorful flowers, in order to beautify the environment, people take it for granted, it is not surprising; but planting flowers and grass in the countryside, especially in the remote mountainous areas, it is enough to say that it is a strange thing. Hillbills love flowers! Don't forget the popular agricultural proverb: "Plant trees without flowers, raise chickens and don't raise ducks", it is with this ambivalence that I came to Baitagou.
It is better to hear than to see, Baitagou is really worthy of the kingdom of flowers! On both sides of the spacious cement country road, two rows of straight guiding trees are planted, and the gap under the roots is a series of flower beds, planted with golden rhododendrons and carnations, which are competing to spit out the aroma; every three or five, there are clusters of torch-lit cannabis, and the large leaves are really loving, like the bananas of the southern country. Walking on this flower road, my heart is trembling, my legs are soft, just right, go slower, go slower! And the light of the flowers was dazzling, and I really couldn't open my eyes.
As soon as I entered the village, it was a green shade. The streets were lined with emerald green grape seedlings from the uniform walls of doors, hanging with huge green fruits, crawling all over the trellises, and even if there was a small gap, it was occupied by a winding five-pointed star flower. In the waterfront streets, this flower is climbed on the lush juniper, but here... How economically minded the peasants are! They planted grapes to sell for money, planted flowers and beautified the environment, and the ambivalence I had just come to disappeared. A few of the girls under the grapevines who were washing their clothes laughed loudly, and I was intoxicated again, like a sip of wine. Then I realized that there was a babbling stream on the other side of the street, and the girls were sitting on the bluestone slab by the stream.
The residences of Baitagou, like the villas in the city, adopt the Suzhou garden style, green brick tiles, hanging angle cornices, especially the ancient and solemn tile towers at the entrance of every household, which highlight the strong antique. The modern decoration and ancient architecture make the whole courtyard reveal elegance from simplicity and show extraordinary in ordinary customs, which is a harmonious beauty! I didn't dare to knock on the door where some new oil had passed. I was dazed, and a few girls laughed at me, and I mustered up the courage to finally knock on a door. The door opened, and a middle-aged man with a disc face greeted me, and I was momentarily overwhelmed by my own presumptuousness, and the laughter of the farmer ignited my happiness again. After we exchanged greetings, we walked into the courtyard together, paving the stone road, with grape stalks on our heads and a piece of falling English on our feet.
In addition to the brick flower beds, there are mostly potted flowers. On the windowsill, the well platform is full of flowers laughing: roses, moon seasons, peonies, peonies, lilies, daffodils, junzi orchids, hanging golden bells... A hundred flowers compete for beauty, thousands of purples and thousands of reds. Countless colorful butterflies chase each other and dance, all of which are dazzling. I wandered in the ocean of this flower, stretching and walking, lingering, and my body fluttering up, unexpectedly, I remembered the scene described in the "Lotus Picking" written by Emperor Liang Yuandi in the Six Dynasties, and the demon girls who took the boat to pick lotuses were coming to me... The shadows in the flowers are longing, could it be that I have entered a mysterious wonderland? The middle-aged man was gone, and what was presented to me was a block of green painted doors and windows, and the couplet with black characters on a red background on the door frame, "A hundred years of love and double heart knots, a thousand miles of marriage" I was really confused, pulled my legs and walked back. "Hahaha" a hearty laugh flew out from behind the flower, ah, it turned out that a grand wedding was taking place here. A handful of candy was thrown at me: "Comrade, I am so glad that you bumped into my flower sister's wedding." "A girl came up to me and said.
"Sister Hua?" What an interesting name. "Hmm." The girl said, "The girls in our flower village are all surnamed Hua, and my name is Hua Gu." ”
In the middle of the conversation, the middle-aged man appeared again, and from the conversation I knew that he was a supporter, and he let me into the back room and sat down in the banquet, and the feast was sumptuous, and the eighteenth most exquisite plate in the countryside.
A melodious melody plays in the sound of the wedding celebration, and the host's voice echoes: "The bride and groom toast the guests." The bride and groom came out of the new room, her hair full of flowers in a bun, and a bright red rose on her chest. The bride came to me with a purple wine: "You are a distinguished guest, first take a sip of the wine of our hometown, please accept a bouquet of flowers I gave you!" "The bride smiled like a flower, and the sweet laughter of the silver bell was pleasant to hear, and I really felt that I was in a fairyland." Flowers, I talked about this subject.
"They are the ones who raise flowers, and last year they earned more than 500,000 yuan from selling flowers." Zhike interjected. I suddenly remembered that the billboard in front of the door had the words "Flowers are sold here", and The flower sister used the modern network to open up a flower sales platform and sell them directly throughout the country. Orders poured in and out. Farmers love flowers, so this is where the root knots lie, right?
"Don't worry about eating, don't worry about wearing, don't worry about flowers, and the crops are comfortable in their hearts!" The bride said. She pointed to the purple grapes on the table and said, "Besides, people are in good spirits when they are rich!" There was another burst of silver bell laughter, and I suddenly realized, can't everything be explained clearly in this laughter?
Through the laughter of the people, I saw the beautiful life of modern farmers!
