The Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi has a poem cloud: "The April of the human world is exhausted, the peach blossoms of the mountain temple begin to bloom, and the long hate spring returns to nowhere, and I do not know how to turn into this." "The photographer and his film friends recently collected wind in the Jiwang Mountain District of Shanxi Province, and they did not want to photograph such poetry. There is a small mountain village called Xingjiazhuang in the loess mountains, the first tree of the village apricots are hung with branches, the apricots outside the mountains have disappeared during this time period, that is, the low climate of the mountainous countryside is rarely seen, in the face of such delicacies, it is almost difficult for everyone to resist the temptation, the female film friends whispered while taking pictures: 'If you can eat a few, it is better, and I don't know if you dare to pick them?' ’
The temptation of the ripe mountain apricot is too great, the female shadow friend really can't help it, casually picked one and can't take care of washing, directly on the clothes of a rub and quickly sent into the mouth, "It's delicious, do you want to taste it?" Just as she was about to pick the second one, suddenly an old grandmother came out of the woods behind her, and she asked loudly, "What are you doing?" Want to eat mountain apricots to say hello, I have rules here, eat apricots to leave the core, do not stay not allowed to go! ”
The female shadow friend stood in place for a while and did not know how to be good, looking at her embarrassed and embarrassed look, the grandmother laughed hahahaha, and then said: "Come and come, come to the house, there is a more delicious almond tree in the yard, please taste it for free." The female shadow friend who came back to the gods happily followed the grandmother to her home, and everyone followed, and the grandmother sat under the apricot tree, pointed to the yellow apricot on the branch and said: "Although you eat, this mountain apricot tastes very good, you can't eat it in the city, it is not only delicious and sweet, eat the apricot with the core, no matter how much you eat, let it go." ”
Looking up at the branches of the mountain apricots most of the has ceased to exist, only the branches on the south side of the fruit, Grandma introduced, the other mountain apricots ripened slowly fell, the family is usually her alone, can not eat, only the leaves under the side is still slowly ripening, now some are still green, this mountain apricot is a local special variety, passed down for hundreds of years, as long as you see the color yellow on the ripe, with a hand to pull two halves, eat in the mouth are sweet apricot taste, after smashing open the almond core into the mouth, sweet almonds are another kind of enjoyment.
Grandma surname Dong, this year has been over 80 years old, the children are living elsewhere, only the eldest son stayed around, the wife has passed away, grandma said that this apricot tree was planted by the wife 50 years ago, the children are eating its apricots to grow up, at that time every time the mountain apricot ripening season, the children always climb the tree to pick apricots, the family is full of laughter, now they each have a big family to support, their own body is OK, insist on living alone in the old yard, these years the children have gone out to work, Naturally, few people eat mountain apricots, and I am very happy that you have come, just like seeing the children coming home, don't be polite, everyone can eat them casually.
Grandma Dong said that the eldest son raised dozens of sheep in the yard next door, every day to put water to drink sheep, she has nothing to do sit under the apricot tree, while helping the child to put water, while cleaning the apricot cores picked up to dry, although this sweet apricot core is a delicacy, but the mountain people are used to not much like to eat it, this season will collect it, put it in the future to eat, these years often people come to collect apricot cores, the price per kilogram is 2 yuan, after the summer her family can sell apricots can earn hundreds of yuan pocket money, this is the rule of eating apricot kernels.
On the yellow soil in the yard, we saw a piece of apricot kernel dried by grandma, she said that the people in the mountains are real, they will not fool people, and each apricot core she washed with clean water, sold it cleanly to merchants, and was steadfast in her heart.
Grandma Dong said that the mountain apricot varieties are good, but unfortunately the number is limited, now people like to eat new varieties, large flesh and more, in fact, do not know the mountain apricot is the authentic taste, of course, there are also knowledgeable people, last year also came to some people in the city to play, they tasted after the offer to give 100 yuan per kilogram to buy, I did not sell to them, but also only allowed them to eat casually, to leave the apricot cores.
Two female film friends and grandma sat together and talked for a long time, the apricot cores eaten were very seriously put together for grandma, it seems that they are very close, when they left, grandma was very happy, she said that the female shadow friends as daughters to see, now changed the rules, let them pick more apricots to take home to eat, there is no bag, grandma will give the straw hat are full, the female shadow friends even thanked each other, proposed to leave some money for grandma, but grandma always did not agree.
During the conversation, Grandma's son drove a motorized tricycle to pull water, in order not to disturb their work, everyone said goodbye to the old man and left, Grandma Dong stood by the fence wall and reluctantly sent us, just like sending off the children who left home, he instructed everyone to come to the mountains to play when they had time, take this place as their home, especially in the autumn, you must go home to see, there are many delicious things in the mountains, and you are guaranteed to relieve your addiction.
Female film friends are very emotional, they said that an old man in the mountains who did not know each other, that is, sat on the ground with her for a while, Grandma will change the rules for them, the sincerity between people is a few words of confidant, what we eat today is the mountain apricot to get is the kind heart of the mother in the mountain, things look very ordinary, at that time can let us remember a lifetime, we wish the grandmother good health, as good as the East Sea Shoubi Nanshan. 【If you want to see more stories of the people, please click to pay attention】
