Visiting wisteria in the rain

April day on earth, when flowers bloom, I want to see wisteria.

The first time I saw wisteria in Zhengjiapu Village, Liu Jiachang Town in the circle of WeChat friends, it should be a year ago in April. The Millennium wisteria instantly became an "online celebrity" and exploded the circle of friends. Having lived in Liu Jiachang for decades, I have never been to Zhengjiapu, and I have never seen such a wisteria tree.

Some time ago, at a friend's dinner, I met my colleague Yao more than 20 years ago. We haven't seen each other for many years, but we talked about Maojiazhou, Zhengjiapu and this wisteria tree. I said wisteria because I once saw Mr Yao in photos of wisteria sent by others. Teacher Yao is an art teacher and loves photography. She is a member of the City Photographers Association. She went to see wisteria last year. I learned from teacher Yao that wisteria should bloom in April. I secretly wrote down this period of time in my mind, and I will see the fragrance of wisteria anyway this year.

Busy on weekdays, there is almost no leisure to get close to nature. Every night, when I am too tired to move on the sofa, I will miss my time in Liu Jiachang: comfortable, carefree and unrestrained. Walking on the mountain road every day, everything you can see is green except the road under your feet. Small towns can make people forget time. However, the past can't go back. Hard work, farewell to the hardships of the past, and inadaptability as a newcomer, I am no longer young, but I am also a little anxious, sad and depressed, unable to sleep at night, and almost suffering from social phobia. Nowadays, every weekend, my husband always tries to spare some time to take me out for a walk. So, I go back to my mother's house once a week and have a meal cooked by my mother. The tongue is satisfied and the body and mind are relaxed. Every once in a while, we go out for a walk, go boating against the current, visit the Three Gorges families and climb mountains to enjoy rape blossoms.

Seeing wisteria is naturally included in the travel plan.

However, I still don't know which hill wisteria is hidden on and when it will bloom again.

Peach blossoms have withered, rape blossoms have fallen, azaleas have blossomed, and spring seems to have drifted away. In the circle of friends and WeChat group, there has been no news of Wisteria. I can't help it I started to see Liu Jiachang's literary friends on WeChat, because they all went to see Wisteria. My friend replied that he should pay attention and let me know as soon as the wisteria blooms.

Brother Zhang, a literary friend, told me that he had been there seven or eight times. He said that the first time he saw Gu Teng, it was both shocking and shocking! Then he said to the village party secretary who accompanied them that there are such good things hidden in your mountains. Why haven't you heard of them? This Millennium Gu Teng is a beautiful scenery! After that, they spread on the internet, and the influence spread and expanded. Jingzhou, Songzi TV and friends from all over the city swarmed in. ...

Brother Zhang has also served as a tour guide for many times, accompanying tourists to watch and take photos. I can't help exaggerating: Wisteria is lucky to have you! Hiding in the mountains will eventually be known.

I finally waited until Sunday, because I couldn't wait for the notice, so I just wanted to try my luck and go and have a look. It doesn't matter if wisteria doesn't bloom. There are plenty of opportunities in the future. Call a friend who made an appointment before, and the friend said he was traveling. Mr. Wang also has a friend's appointment. I can't drive, so I have to give up.

Just when I gave up the idea of living in Zhengjiabao, I opened WeChat. In the circle of friends and WeChat group, the information of wisteria flowering came unexpectedly, and wisteria blossomed! A group of photographers, musicians and writers went to see wisteria first. It was Sunday afternoon, and I used WeChat Zhang Dage to ask how long the flowering period of wisteria was. Brother Zhang said he would still watch it next week, but now is the most beautiful time.

My colleague Mr. Zhang also wants to visit me on WeChat, but the time is not suitable. What a pity. After all, not everyone in this world has this leisure and elegance. Teacher Zhang even helped me find the specific address of wisteria. Thank you, Teacher Zhang! Sitting in the same office for many years, hehe, I accept.

Fortunately, wisteria is not epiphyllum, and I still have a chance to appreciate it.

Today, I called my friend Dan early, but I couldn't get through again and again. I had to send her a WeChat and finally got in touch. She readily agreed to go, and at about ten o'clock, we finally set off. My cousin Joan, three women, and my husband, a full-time driver, made an appointment to meet at the family farm, and everyone laughed and laughed all the way. Three of us were classmates thirty years ago, and finally we got the right person. I finally had this trip, and my heart was relaxed and happy. Along the way, my eyes are all layers of green, unknown wildflowers are flying along the way, and occasionally three or two roses are swaying in front of people's doors. Living in the city, I haven't seen such an April day on earth for a long time. In this world, there is always something worth waiting for.

Knowing that it rained heavily, we still insisted on going, because wisteria waits for no one, and I don't want to miss it again.

The name Hejiawan is too small, and there is something wrong with navigation. We bumped all the way and asked for directions. The villagers in Zhengjiapu are simple, and the people who ask are very enthusiastic and take the trouble to lead us. After crossing the provincial highway, I took the rural cement road, after all, I went the wrong way. The car seems to be getting worse and worse when it drives to the dirt road near the top of the mountain. There seems to be no turning point. Fortunately, I saw a family in the distance, and a van was parked in front of that family. Where trucks can pass, cars can naturally go. It's difficult for cars to walk on this road, but what does it matter? Everyone is in high spirits.

We went back along the original road, and not far from Wisteria, we found another house. There are several cars parked in front of this house, and we also park here. At this time, the rain was pouring down, and the raindrops were big and dense, which exceeded our imagination. Everyone had to hide in the car. We waited quietly in the car. Wisteria must be waiting for us quietly. I can almost feel its breath.

Although it rained heavily, it was sensible, but it soon became much smaller. I got off the bus first because I couldn't wait. Although we came prepared, the four of us only brought three umbrellas, and a rose umbrella stood in front of the main house under someone else's eaves. Mr. Wang asked the hostess if she could borrow an umbrella. The hostess agreed immediately without hesitation. Once again, I felt the simple folk customs in the mountains, and I couldn't help admiring the beauty of people's houses and the spaciousness of rice fields. Dan said this place is suitable for opening a farmhouse, and we unanimously suggested that the hostess open a farmhouse, and everyone will join us then. In fact, except for people who have come from wisteria in recent years, this is already the hinterland of the mountains, and few people should ask for directions. It only takes about twenty days to really open a farmhouse.

Walking in the rain and looking for wisteria in the mountains is quite romantic to think about. Dan is still muttering that he brought a red scarf to take pictures.

Looking and looking, I finally found wisteria behind a family's house!

"One thousand wisteria-sparrows bloom again. After years of vicissitudes, the bottom of Gu Teng is more than 1.2 meters thick, the trunk is more than 3 meters high, and Tengguan reaches 10 meters. Wisteria is piled with huge "purple grapes" and the flowers cover an area of nearly 400 square meters. The whole mountain forest is purple, a wonder and a fairyland. " This description of wisteria in Songzi News is very literary, poetic and particularly appropriate. As Zhang Dage said, Wisteria is really shocking, enough to shock everyone who sees it! I have never seen such huge vines and such dense flowers! Flowers attract swarms of bees. Although it is raining, bees are still flying among the flowers. At this moment, I feel poor in words. Well, I don't want to describe it too much. Let everyone who comes to see its fragrance feel it for themselves!

Rain hits wisteria, and English falls profusely on the ground. Wisteria is very thick, almost dark purple, which is particularly mysterious under the erosion of rain.

As soon as Dan saw wisteria, he couldn't help wanting to take pictures, and I was no exception.

The umbrella lent to us and Dan's red scarf have become props for our photos. Wisteria is the best background, ancient, huge and mysterious. Wisteria, a beautiful image, is beautiful no matter how you shoot it.

Almost at the same time as we arrived, there were actually three other people. After all, there are idiots like us in this world. One of them is a family of three. After seeing wisteria, the husband kept taking pictures of his wife. Potous is a family of four. The man told us that he is actually a local, but he has moved out of here and lived in the market town of Liu Jiachang. This time, he came back with his children to enjoy wisteria. He said that this home under Wisteria is his own home. Before Wisteria was famous, only this family enjoyed flowers every year. It's great now, so many people come to see flowers every year. No matter how good the flowers are, they need people to appreciate them. The wisteria hiding in the boudoir finally showed a mysterious smile. There is another group of people, familiar faces, doctors in Songzi Second Hospital. Perhaps because of the rain, they didn't stay here as long as we did, and they went down the mountain in a few minutes.

Rain, wet our hair and clothes, everyone is still full of interest, lingering under wisteria.

When I finally came down the mountain, I saw several doctors in the Second Hospital sitting under other people's eaves. It turns out that people have called this family under wisteria and made an appointment to eat real farmhouse meals here! The wisteria beside the rice field and the peasant chicken under the bamboo shoots make people greedy! After dinner, wait until the rain stops, and then enjoy the flowers. It's beautiful to think about it.

It's past one o'clock in the afternoon, and we have no luck to eat, so we have to hurry back.

When we arrived at Qinggong Temple, we ordered local chicken, fresh potatoes, fried green beans and fried peppers at Xinrong Hotel. Xinrong's native chicken is a must in Liu Jiachang. The more stewed it is, the better it tastes. Dan and Joan even shouted "delicious". I haven't eaten here for several years, and it seems that I have no regrets to eat so comfortably today.

After I came back, I passed by Liu Jiachang, and went to the front of the telecommunications bureau to deliver the magazine With Water to the shoe repairman. My article "Town People" was published in the book, and the old man is the town people I wrote. He had entrusted many people to buy this book for him, and wanted to keep it as a souvenir, but unfortunately he didn't buy it. Later, my wife left me a message asking if I could buy this book for the elderly. Fortunately, I have this book at home, so I brought it to the old man this time. The old man asked how much the book cost, and I quickly said no money.

"Explore the secluded land and indulge in singing. Poets from all over the world come in droves, and when they see the beautiful scenery, they sing in the flowers ... "We are not poets, nor are we lively people. We followed fate and followed our hearts, and this exploration trip ended perfectly.

Wisteria is not wisteria, her name is sparrow. Wisteria is named for its patterns and colors. The locals call her Hei (He, the fourth sound) Marten. That's the name that everyone who wants to ask for directions there hears. I like it!

I wanted to send a circle of friends to commemorate it, but I didn't expect a friend to arrive first. It turned out that they went a little earlier than us, and it rained when they came back, just passing us by. Great, friends in my circle of friends sent it for me, thank you! But in the circle of friends, friends send wisteria before the rain, which is bright and moving, while we visit wisteria in the rain, which is mysterious and romantic.

Between people and flowers, fate goes hand in hand.

Between people, follow the fate and cherish the fate.
