"Hungry and weeping" in March
·
【Yang Jinwen】
·
In the third lunar month of every year, there are many wild fruits in the wild of Miao Township Chengbu, among which the most "greedy crying" is the March Moon. It is not only one of the raspberry varieties, but also the best and sweetest of all raspberries. Its sweet and sour taste tastes much better than the fruits bought out of pocket in the market!(Editor's note: Chengbu of Miao Township refers to Chengbu Miao Autonomous County, Hunan Province.) ）
Because it contains a variety of nutrients necessary for the human body, it has been loved by people for generations. In particular, we, the children of the Miao family, took food bags to pick the gifts of nature for free, and used the March Morning as a snack to eat with a full mouthful, burping and burping, and eating to "save meals" for the family.

I still remember when we were children, every March is ripe season, on the way to school or school, everyone will rush to catch the "future", in order to "strike first to be strong", to pick the tempting March rain. Sometimes, I was mistaken for a "distinguished guest" by the branches of the three moon trees, and pulled my clothes tightly and refused to let go, when I forcibly left, I saw a long cut on the clothes, so that I caught up with the trend of "exposing the navel", and when I returned home, in order to cover up the facts, I hurriedly found needles and threads from the "mirror cover box", and quietly sewed them by myself, the stitches were crooked and skewed, and the density was uneven......
And on the weekends, I would call my friends to go all over the mountains to pick the March Worms. Even though his hands were often pricked with blood from the hard thorns on the branches, he didn't know that it hurt, but on the contrary, he was as happy as if he had drunk honey. There were some tall March trees on the side of the mountain, as if they were deliberately teasing me, and although I stood on tiptoe and stretched out my arms, I still couldn't reach them! When I had plucked only a few "raw didos" (unripe) on the branches, I motioned with my eyes to let go, only to see the branches bounce up, and nodded, as if to say, "Goodbye! Come back in a few days!" and some rode on the shoulders of their companions to "work at heights". Everyone has no selfishness, and the March corn picked by the partnership is "evenly distributed" according to the person. At noon, we happily took the "spoils" and went home.

One person picks the bird, and the whole family shares. In ancient times, there was "Kong Rong let pear", and now there is "mountain boy let Ying". The companions always have to pick the March Flame for their families to taste together. The juniors selected the best ones to give to the elders, and the elders gave them to the children, and in the end, they were still "feasted" by the two or three-year-old little brothers and little sisters who were not familiar with the world. Then, he muttered to his brother and sister: "Tomorrow you will pick up delicious March Flowers for me!"
Sometimes, when there is an "oversupply" of the maroon that is picked home, the hardworking and capable mother washes the marijuana, drains the water, and puts it in a high-concentration liquor for soaking. After one month, the lid is unsealed and drunk in moderation to replenish the nutrients the body needs. By promoting blood circulation in the body, it naturally improves immunity. Looking back today, March Ying is still so "gluttonous". (End of text)

"Masterpiece World" review
·
He Qiong's comments: The article is vivid and concrete, the theme is clear and prominent, and it is full of great temptation! Just looking at the theme can arouse the reader's gluttony. The author begins by writing about the sweet and sour taste of "March Rose", which makes readers salivate! The situation is delicately and vividly, lively and lovely! Some of them climb the bent branches with their hands and sink hard. And some ride on the shoulders of their companions to "work at height" to pick up. Then, we happily took the "loot" and went home. What a joyful scene, what a lovely group of children! This cheerful picture makes people feel full of fun and pleasing to the eye!
Jiang Yi's comments: This is an illustrated prose, the author's teacher fondly recalled the good years of picking March in Miao Township in his childhood. It is a wild fruit that ripens in the third month of the lunar calendar, with a sweet and sour taste and rich nutritional value, which is especially loved by the children of the Miao family. Through vivid narration, the author shows the scene of children scrambling to pick March Worm on the way to and from school, and the process of calling friends to go to the mountains to pick on weekends. The text also mentions sharing with the family and how the mother disposed of the extra March and turned it into alcohol. The whole article is full of nostalgia for the innocent time of the past and praise for the gift of March and Moon, which is very emotional and touching to read!
Chen Yinghui's comments: Mr. Yang's clever writing describes the unique and unpolluted March Rose called "Gluttonous Weeping Man" in Miao Township, because this fruit is sweet and sour, and also contains various nutrients, which can be used as a snack and a satisfying stomach. Farmers and children like to eat, when he was young, Mr. Yang and his friends had countless happy times of picking March, and also shared the good memories of March's food, at that time the food was of high quality because of pollution-free, and people were also lovely because of their simplicity and kindness, so these strung together the past is so precious, which makes people have endless aftertaste and lasts for a long time.
