Author: Small River Water
Growing up in the Great Northwest, I have a love for jujube since I was a child, although it is small, inconspicuous, not pleasant to eat, and has a bitter taste, but it is a very beautiful thing in my memory. I often recall a sense of happiness, and when this happiness hits, it makes me linger and do some amazing things!
One
Sand dates, a specialty of the western sands, are the most common and most inconspicuous food in the world. If you go around the rural market town there, you will see the golden yellow, shining pearlescent luster, filled with pots and pans of sand dates. As long as you spend a dollar, you can get a large handful, do not be anxious when eating, eat a little sour and astringent, will spoil the appetite, you must eat like an olive fruit slowly taste. The longer you taste it, the longer the taste, the more you will feel sweet as food, the sand is delicious, no wonder the adults and children in their hometown are very fond of eating it.
Last April, I went to his hometown with a friend, and my eyes were full of the floral fragrance of the jujube trees. It is the season of sand jujube fragrance: on the field mound, on the side of the canal, on the ditch and the ridge, and in front of the house and behind the house, in the distance, there are sand date trees. The tree was no more than a person tall, and the poles were not thick, but the branches were dense, scattered in all directions, reaching out to the sky and sprinkling on the earth, and the silver leaves showed their beauty, shining in the sun.
The jujube trees blossom and bear fruit, which is the beautiful season of the desert Gobi blooming. The faint jujube flowers are like small flowers, like wisps of smoke, and the breeze blows a pleasant fragrance. Friends and family said: "This year's rain is good, and the jujube blossoms are blooming so vigorously." "I think it's definitely another bumper year. I asked, "With so many dates harvested, what are you going to do?" They said carelessly: "It's not just some coaxing dolls, you can sell a few on the street for a few dollars, most of them fall from the tree and rot, who can expect it to get rich!" "
I was a little surprised: "Don't underestimate this date, it is a big treasure here." If you get it right, you can make a lot of money! "They looked at me in disbelief, and I told him slowly about one of my great discoveries...

That was a few years ago, when I went to a friend's house at a newspaper in the south. When I entered the door and sat down, I found that there was a very delicate curtain hanging on the door to the bedroom, which was different from the many paper rolls, plastic, and bamboo weaving I had seen, small beads were finely broken, each grain was printed with a natural color stripe pattern, and the curtains strung together by processed beads gave people the feeling of being thick and rustic, elegant and exquisite, and the curtain was also woven with a hump moving forward. Looking closely, this small curtain makes people feel like entering the empty and vast Gobi, which naturally adds a lot of brilliance to the dou room.
The more I looked at it, the more I loved it, and took the old editor's hand and asked him where he got such a treasure. He smiled at me mysteriously, and then said, "It was made from your hometown, and it's made of the kind of thing you often hang in your mouth—the jujube kernel." "
yes? I couldn't believe my eyes anymore. In my memory, the most inconspicuous and most jujube can be made into such a beautiful thing. I was amazed by the ingenuity of the workmanship. The old editor told me that this was something he bought for two hundred yuan at a military family factory when he was interviewed in Jiuquan, and it was a beloved object.
Somehow, I suddenly proposed to the old editor: I will spend four hundred dollars and you will buy it for me! But he said that he did not agree with anything, saying that more money and less money were small things, and he could not take what he loved. Since then, this curtain has always been a matter in my heart, and it is also a thing that I often think of contributing to the poverty alleviation and prosperity of my hometown.

My friend listened to me, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "The most we have here is the sand dates, if you can process them into curtains and sell them, how good it would be." It is that they will not do it, and they are in a hurry. "
I immediately supported his idea, and I will be the technical consultant for you. At the beginning, I asked the old editor in detail about the processing process, which is not difficult, and I will learn it as soon as I learn it. They were very happy to hear it, and at the moment they found more than a dozen villagers to negotiate the establishment of the factory. Everyone was very interested, three earthen houses, a large iron pot, a few large vats, this is all their belongings. The villagers were eager to get rich, and when they said they would do it, they did it with wind and fire. A month down, their products also came out, through the Foreign Trade Bureau to sell, the business was unexpectedly good, that year their small factory has a little improvement, profit tens of thousands of yuan. Friends and brothers have also become famous people near and far.
Before the Spring Festival this year, he came to see me and gave me a curtain that their factory processed, which was woven with a pattern of a camel lying on the ground and chewing. I stood in front of me for a long time and stared, thinking a lot. I think the purpose of this picture may be to remind those of us who have been strangers in other places for a long time, often remember and miss our hometown, do not forget our hometown people, and do more practical things for our hometown people.
I loved the curtain, hung it on the door frame of the living room, and had to look at it several times a day when I went in and out. After watching it for a long time, I had a warm feeling in my heart: I remembered the scene of grabbing sand dates with my brothers at home when I was a child, the scene of selling sand dates on the street when I was a teenager, and I also hoped that my friends and brothers would run their factories in a prosperous way, and the villagers would have a radiance on their faces, and they would no longer worry about finding a way to get rich.
From this little jujube thought of how lovely my hometown is, how lovely the landscapes and rivers of the Great Northwest are: there is gold, there is copper, there is iron, there is oil, and there are treasures that have not been discovered by people, they are still sleeping underground, as long as you love this land, she will give you endless treasures.
That's what the little pearl curtain taught me!
