Thinking about my baby's summer vacation and my child's summer vacation, it was really envious of each other.
I envy him for his summer vacation, air conditioning, he can snuggle up in the small sofa and read his favorite books, watch a favorite movie and documentary every day, and have a big meal from time to time.
When I was his age, it was just in time for my dad to plant peach trees and watermelons.
The land about 800 meters away from my house is a relatively large piece of land in my family, I remember that there are about six acres, and at that time I asked my father to plant peach trees on both sides of each acre. In the middle of the peach tree is a watermelon.
During the summer vacation, it was the time when the peaches and watermelons were ripe, and I needed to take my summer homework to the field and watch it.
There was a simple shed in the orchard, and there was a mattress on it, and I was lying on the mat to do my homework.
Because the peaches and watermelons are ripe, there are many small insects in the ground, and of course, the more annoying mosquitoes, and from time to time they are stung with a big bag.
In the summer, it was too hot in the small shed, so I took the notebook as a fan, and when I was really bored, I went to the watermelon field to find watermelons to eat.
And the baby envy me that I can play in the watermelon field, and eat whichever watermelon I like. If you can't open it with your hands, you can stomp it with your feet. After eating the watermelon heart, buckle the watermelon skin and disguise it.
The baby envy that I can see a lot of birds in the peach orchard, I can scrape the peach gum on the peach tree, I can pick the peaches I like, and I can sleep in the peach orchard.
At that time, the row behind our house was full of trees, and I walked over on the way to Taoyuan after dinner, just when the monkey climbed out.
At that time, there were so many monkeys, and I could touch two or three on a tree. Squatting in the ground and seeing a small hole, a monkey can come out with a pinch of your finger.
When I arrived in the peach orchard, around the peach tree, and even on the plants next to it at that time, there were monkeys. I can touch a big bottle one night, wash it at home, soak it in salt water, and let my mother fry it the next day.
Now the baby wants to go out every night to touch a monkey, and she can't see a monkey for an hour. If you're lucky, you'll see at most a few beetles and snails that come out at night.
I remember when I was a child, there were many other insects on the trees behind our house, like the longhorn beetle and some other beetles, which are difficult to find even now.
For babies who like insects, how can I not envy the summer vacation when I was a child.
When I was a child, I was really tired during the summer vacation, and I needed to herd sheep every day, go to the field to cut grass and feed the cattle.
Especially at the end of the summer vacation, the corn grows very tall, the field is overgrown with weeds, and it is necessary to cut the grass to feed the cattle, and the body is marked blood red by the corn leaves.
At that time, the tiredness of summer vacation was physical, but now many children's summer vacation is mental and psychological.
Many of the children are almost seamlessly mitered, go straight to the tutoring class after the holidays, and spend most of the summer tutoring, resting at home, going out to hang out with their parents, and waiting for school to start.
If possible, the child's summer vacation should be arranged as colorful as possible, so that the child can play to his heart's content and enjoy the vacation time.
Childhood is only once, and I don't want my child to grow up, and every time I recall my childhood, it is an inexhaustible practice.
