Lyric Prose of Two Persimmon Trees

As long as I can remember, I have known that there are two trees in the private plot at home, one is a persimmon tree and the other is a persimmon tree. I often hear my grandmother say that these two persimmon trees were planted by her own hands, and I can't help but admire her more. Looking back now, these two ordinary persimmon trees left a dazzling scenery in my mind, left my childhood happiness and teenage dreams, and left a colorful story.

Looking back, a green landscape emerges. Like loving couples, these two persimmon trees were born on the same day in the same year. After decades of wind, frost, rain and snow, they stand proudly on the fertile land near the village, which is very eye-catching. The stout persimmon tree is about 60 cm in diameter, and its branches point to the blue sky, just like a tall and majestic man, holding his head high to shelter the other half from the wind and rain. The skinny tree is like a small and exquisite beauty, always snuggling up to the handsome man and whispering, as if telling him a sweet love story and a story of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Listen under the tree and you will hear these sweet love stories. You might as well organize them into an article, that is, persimmon trees are like the four seasons of life.

In spring, persimmon trees are full of vitality. The spring breeze blows, the sun shines and the drizzle moistens. Both persimmon trees spit out buds, and the scenery is in the treetops. After a while, the bud grew into a leaf. From the treetops of persimmon trees, you can see the thick breath of spring, showing vitality and giving people the motivation to make progress.

Persimmon trees in summer are full of flowers and fruits. Probably in April and May, small white flowers and bone flowers grew on persimmon trees, which were competing to open in the warm summer and covered with branches. They are very beautiful. After thanking the flowers, they sat down with thick fruits, giving people a feeling of heavy fruits.

Persimmon trees in autumn have red and orange fruits and green leaves. In August and September, persimmons began to turn from green to yellow, and then from yellow to red. The color of leaves will also change accordingly, giving people a colorful feeling and enjoying the joy of harvest.

In winter, persimmon trees are full of vitality and stand upright in the wind. At this time, the persimmon tree has been accomplished, relieved, enjoying the tranquility of winter, recuperating and brewing plans for the coming year, giving people the feeling of saving energy and taking advantage of the trend.

Among persimmon trees in spring, summer, autumn and winter, autumn is the most lively, and it is an amazing harvest scene. Every year comes as scheduled. On the day of persimmon harvest, parents and uncle discussed it. Our family and uncles go into battle together, and we need two helpers. They all gathered around the persimmon tree, climbed it with baskets and picked it by hand. Generally speaking, they are all young people with light bodies. Sometimes they stand on twigs. Someone took a hook with a hook and a net bag, stood under a tree or stepped on a stool, while studying persimmons and hooked them with hooks, and persimmons fell into the net bag smoothly; Others carry sheets or tarpaulins. Generally, four people hold up four corners under the tree and cooperate well with the people on the tree. When people on the tree want to pick persimmons that they can't reach, they shake the branches hard and the persimmons will crash. People under the tree are busy lifting the sheets or tents in the direction where the persimmons fall, so that the persimmons will be collected in the sheets intact. Sometimes, as soon as the people on the tree shout "Shake it here, it's almost done", the people under the tree urge each other to say "Quick, Quick, it's done", and they run to catch the persimmons one by one, laughing and laughing, and so they change it from different angles of the tree many times. The neighbors also gather together as if watching the excitement, and by the way, they help each other and scream up and down the persimmon tree. ......

I remember when I collected persimmons, my mother picked out the ripe persimmons and asked me to carry a small basket or a small barrel filled with red persimmons and send them to every household nearby so that more people could share the joy of collecting persimmons. My family always gets a word of thanks. Grandma was very happy to see a pile of red, yellow and yellow persimmons, so she found out the pot and washed it. She picked the persimmons that were still hard one by one, wiped off the dust, washed them, put them in a pot, filled them with warm water, sealed the pot with plastic sheets, moved them to the southeast corner of the fire resistance, and covered them with quilts. Grandma looks very skilled and experienced. She always said that the persimmons she put were not astringent at all, and we were all like chickens pecking at rice. She nodded yes.

After about ten and a half days, the persimmon in the jar was stuffy. At this time, my grandmother asked me to open the quilt. She untied the rope and lifted the plastic sheet, and a fresh fragrance rushed out of the jar. My grandmother always happily picked up a beautiful persimmon from the jar and handed it to me: "Try it, how about it?" Looking at the smoldering persimmons, I am already salivating, but I still have to wait to eat together. When the family sat around tasting persimmons, I saw that the whole family was filled with joy, and grandma seemed to have a little sense of accomplishment in her joy.

Persimmon trees bring us far more than that. When there are many birds, I will learn to hang a bird cage on the tree with adults, put a bird that is good at singing, and listen to the sweet birdsong, and the birds around me will fly in. As soon as they step on the cage to eat, they will be turned into cages by established organs. It was interesting and comfortable to see such a scene from a distance. Persimmon trees can also enjoy the cool, and the trees have shade. Every summer at noon, I will take a mat to enjoy the cool under the persimmon tree, and when the cool wind blows, I have a special taste. The dry branches and leaves of persimmon trees can also be used as firewood to supplement our lives.

The two persimmon trees in my family have brought a lot of happiness and joy to my family, including the harvest of fruits, the joy of harvest, and the affection between people and trees. Over time, persimmon trees have also occupied a very important position in my heart. Regrettably, persimmon trees were later managed by the village. Later, the two persimmon trees left in memory disappeared. The fate of these two persimmon trees is the same, both lucky to be born on the same day in the same year and unfortunate to die on the same day in the same year. Oh! Fortunately, persimmon trees! Alas, persimmon tree!
