Although it is not as refreshing as the morning, but also less hot than the midday sun. I used to go out for a walk at this time of the day.
Want to quiet, from home to the north, through the alley, along the open source road has been eastbound, the road is narrow, but few people, fewer cars, especially I like a section of the countryside dirt road, you can go straight to the park around Ann.
People's thinking, sometimes by the mood of the left and right, quietly stayed a day, but also want to lively time, go out to the left, thirty-five meters, is the hottest cultural plaza of the small town.
I've been there, not quite adapted to the atmosphere of the square, not the age difference, but my character prefers quiet.
They are the most important of all, and the most important of all is the fact that they are the most important of all.
Look at the scenery under the sunlight, listen to the summer insects and frogs, people are quiet, quiet, to hear the depths of nature unique "psalm and song".
Several consecutive rain, the field of crops can vigorously crazy long, in the sunset sprinkled with the afterglow and the rhythm of the breeze swinging slow dance, dark green corn leaves hand in hand than shoulder, like a pair of couples snuggled together. I strolled through the fields, feeling the calmness of returning to nature and the scent of the soil from the countryside.
The park is surrounded by trees and flowers.
The fishing is not a good idea, but it's a good idea to forget that the sun is setting, and it's not a good idea to put it away. The first time I saw this, it was a very good idea for me to go back to the old days, when I was a kid.
Park visitors gradually more and more up, not big point of the small town, see who are familiar with, this is not, the Zhang family couple in the distance, big old cordial greetings.
The fast-paced Yu family brother with his wife and son, talking and laughing as the wind drifted past.
A young woman in a flowery dress, holding a cell phone in one hand and a dog in the other, swaying along.
The couple at the edge of the bamboo bush, looking at each other, conveying deep feelings, whispering, telling love.
The last touch of sunlight, is about to melt into the night, that a few magpies, still hovering in the forest, do not know in which tree to perch. The birds, however, flew into the depths of the forest. I knew it was time to return.
Nightfall, the street lights, illuminating the crowd. I don't know where the excitement came from, but on my way back, I went along Unity Road to a neighboring plaza.
Here has long been a crowded, young and old square dance, love beautiful young women's cheongsam show, play rollerblades children, play ball skills of young people, the old people's tai chi, of course, not to mention the Mengcun Wu Baji.
In this hustle and bustle of the crowd, there are people I am familiar with? I am familiar with the past?
I gazed y, a long time, a long time, my mind visualization has been far away from the summer night.
Right! Away in the countryside summer night ......
Summer, the season of summer, seedling long grass prosperous, crop people to serve the crops, the children from school, leaving their school bags, running to the ground, behind the buttocks of the grass baskets, with the walking fast and slow upside down upside down, into the grassy community, a pair of dynamic eyes, two light hands, cut the grass into the basket, gradually full. The basket, gradually full of grass basket, has been warmed through the cloth shirt, happy smile on the face, sweat and soil flow, back full of grass basket, moving heavy feet, home.
The sun sets in the evening sky, the trees are a little stable and motionless, and the smoke from the farmhouse rises straight up to the sky.
The acacia tree in front of the door, flying in and out of the finches, coveting the last bite of food before perching. Playing grass back to the children, the water tank before drinking the adults said to hit the heart of the fire of the "well pull" cool water. The yard is still hot ground has been swept clean, laid on the ground of the "draft Jian", the children pounced on the top of the play, adults sitting on one side of the bench, grass mounds, looking at the children comfortably smile.
Dinner was just ready, with the mother's greeting, the children were excited, while yelling dinner, while running into the front of the stove, everyone has to move chopsticks to grab the bowl, the mother will be loudly instructed, who went to put the table, which one to serve dinner, the little one went to the dining table and waited for the dinner table, food on the table, a family of old and small to eat up.
In those days, there was no difference between the rich and the poor, and the family dinner was more or less the same, sweet potato flour or sorghum flour cakes, home pickled turnips and pickles, and the more sophisticated people had homemade old sauce bowls. It may seem shabby to modern people, but at that time, there was no sense of hardship or poverty.
Dinner, in the children's laughter, in the adults' pleasure, ended.
The mother, who was taking a cool ride, held a bushel fan, fanning the flying mosquitoes and guarding the toddler at her heels. From time to time, with the other hand, wiping the sweat on the face, water stains on the body.
The cool bushels shook the mother's hand, but also sweetened her heart. The family lay on the head of the bunk, the girls are always quiet, looking up at the night sky, counting the weaving girl on the silver river cowboy, spoon handle like the Big Dipper seven stars. The occasional breeze would bring the children's delightful voices and the adults' joy to their faces.
Boys summer night, can make the whole village lively, the older children have their own playmates, some three to five a group, some groups, play also have to see who can play out of the pattern. They play in groups of three or five, depending on who can do what. Wushu play; wrestling, against the crutch, pull the clip. Thieves play; up the tree to steal dates, down to the ground to touch the melon. The children of that era, who dares to say that one did not make.
I remember, the most interesting night caught "Yan Baihu". A large group of children looking at the night sky flying around the swallow white, take off the shoes on the feet, can vigorously greet the sky, but never saw who's shoes touch the swallow white, and did not see who's shoe shell drilled into the swallow white. Later, I used bricks and tiles to knock down many Yan Baihou. Back then, my shooting skills were excellent, flying in the sky, falling from the trees, all kinds of birds I have shot down. I had a little face in front of my companions. The key to shooting down a bird is to look at the direction of its flight and estimate the amount of time in advance. The birds on the tree, is to see the speed of the shot, to be fast and accurate.
In my playmates, there are Qingpo brother, Jinzhu brother, Zongming brother, Xiao Tietou, Tiezhuang, and my second brother.
In the summer night, the children play in the dark, the interesting thing is to steal the melon can not eat, put on the tree fork. (Do not dare to take it home for fear of being beaten by adults.) Lin family's Kui brother, after waking up early to sneak around, found the secret hidden in the tree. Later, we decisively did the theft transfer.
I remember a time when I was stealing melons with Tiehou. Sinniang stood on the high fence with a long call: "Iron a head, you and Dazhi where to steal melons!"
Alas! Just arrived in the small melon, let the two of us buried in the ground. Then, as if nothing happened, went home.
Later, I no longer steal melons with Tiehou, I'm afraid of Sinniang's call, too straight and true call!
After dinner, the men came out of their homes to gather at the production team, and the lamps in the barn flickered with a dim light. A few tired old cows, repeatedly chewing the fodder or grass that they had just eaten into their stomachs, were staring blankly, paying no attention to the men who had come to keep track of their work. Only the laborer answered loudly, drinking, verifying that the remembered work points.
The production leader was looking down and planning for tomorrow. When he was finished, he shouted out his orders, saying who would do what tomorrow morning and what tools he would bring with him.
After the captain finished the work, the production team's yard was bustling.
The young men, using a variety of ways to show strength, wrestling, arm wrestling, wringing the nose, hands to control the natural gas, ass kicking threshing floor.
If you say strong, you have to say stone brother, broad body, a body of flesh, single talk about stupidity, he is not convinced, I remember that he wrestled with others, was wrestled to the ground after the loudest sound, but once he caught, pressed to you, his head, to the death of the pressure you.
Young people, the strength of the number of Han Dongqi, the young man long and lean, one arm can grab a hundred and twenty pounds of natural stone, people send nickname "big plow flower".
The summer night is getting late, and the old and young men who have had enough of the fun are talking and laughing as they go home.
Summer nights are cool, and women are pulling out the stops.
Who's son or daughter is big, who's master is obedient, the house is messy like a dog's nest, the old sauce of the family made the smell of stinking feet.
The laughter that comes out of the women's pile is both high and low, and some of them are loose and some of them are subtle.
At that time, the women must be more conservative, summer dress does not reveal not transparent. Only older grandmothers, hot open chest and back, a pair of shriveled breasts have long been attached to the chest. Milk children of young women, although wearing a strict ban, but the child cried, or dry tightly lifted up the shirt, the firm and full of tits, stuffed into the baby's mouth. The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers, and the company is also committed to providing the best possible service to its customers.
The countryside is pure and simple, and the character is noble.
The number of tired women, looking at the successive home of the men, successively got up and walked home.
Summer night in the countryside, gradually subsided, returning home to the children or crazy tired, lying on all fours on the head of the bunk, sleeping dead dog general, deepening the summer night with a little cool, careful mom to find a single cover in the children's body, looking at the son with a smile in the sleep, relief hangs in the face of happiness.
Summer night, quiet down, tired mom quiet down ......
The hustle and bustle of the square is still going on, I saw the second brother in the crowd in the square dance, he is jumping with the rhythm of the smooth.
I wondered if he had memories of his childhood.
The streetlights were bright, the neon lights kept changing, and the crowds of people coming and going changed the summer of another era and another summer night.
