I followed my father to the back of the house and saw the green peanut leaves dancing in the breeze. There are countless small yellow flowers flashing among the leaves, some are smiling, and some are in bud, which is very attractive.
"You see, these peanuts are very low-key, unwilling to show their faces, and completely hide themselves under the lush leaves. If the leaves were not blown by the breeze, it would be difficult for us to find these small flowers. " Dad murmured.
"Why do other flowers bloom in the most conspicuous place, while peanuts hide petals?" I had doubts, and then I couldn't help reaching out to pick one.
"You can't pick it. Pick a flower and you lose a fruit. " Dad quickly stopped it. I took back my hand hanging in the air and looked at my father in surprise.
Dad squatted down and said to me seriously, "Do you know? Peanuts have no time to show off their beauty on the branches like peach blossoms and pear blossoms. Every peanut is in full bloom, ranging from hundreds to thousands. After the flowers bloom, it goes underground to nourish the fruit. " "It's amazing!" I'm surprised.
Dad went on to say, "peanuts bloom for a period of time, and after completing their mission, they will wither silently, then rot in the ground and become nutrients, accompanying the fruit to grow in the ground." Very modest and low-key. It never strives for its own merits, but silently does its duty as a flower. "
Yes, peanuts never show off their flowers on the branches, but quietly open, silently wither, and then secretly bear fruit. Even the shell is not conspicuous, but the soil is yellow.
But its inner fruit is gorgeous red, and its taste is mellow ... I seem to understand something. Every time I see it, I think of ordinary workers in Qian Qian, who don't care about fame and fortune and contribute themselves to mankind in obscurity.
