The persimmons in Chongqing are red, have you gone to see them?

I have never liked autumn, especially the autumn in Chongqing. It looks like a face every day and is not bright at all. It is completely different from the crisp autumn air in books with "blue sky and yellow leaves".

But we can’t live without autumn. Autumn has wonderful fruits. The thin skin is filled with sticky sweetness. Take a small bite and sip, it’s heaven and earth.

In the past, there was a tall persimmon tree planted at the back door of my hometown, with strong branches reaching into the sky. In autumn, small fruits are hung, which are too sharp in contrast to the tall and tall body; watching the fruits turn yellow and red, suddenly after a night of frost, it seems that the anger of life suddenly bursts out, as bright red as the burning flame of a tree.

Sweet Autumn Fire

Many discomforts caused by autumn miraculously disappeared on a cold morning. Find a bamboo pole and dance among the sparse leaves and branches. The bright red will fall colorfully when you touch it, spreading a joyful and sweet rain.

Pick up the bright red persimmons into the basin, and pick them into your mouth if they fall to pieces with skin and flesh torn. That kind of honeyed joy has become a lingering sorrow since I left my hometown. It stimulates me to look forward to a sunny day every autumn, giving me a reason to return to the countryside and plant my hands under the persimmon tree in my memory. , picking up the childhood that can’t be taken back.

When the persimmons are red again, Chongqing is ripe. I already know where to pick up the innocent past.

There is a persimmon garden in Wanneng Village, Shitan Town, Banan.

Golden Autumn Yellow Persimmon

Although the persimmon varieties here are completely different from the money persimmons in my memory, they are better than nothing.

Find a bed and breakfast in the village. After settling in, we meandered up the mountain and plunged into the low persimmon forest to find the real thing. The purpose at this time has long been beyond the scope of tasting, but to enjoy the picking process.

Sweetness is really not the taste that only comes when you put it in your mouth, but the taste of hometown that is repeated in your heart.

Chongqing has many wonderful sights, and this is true. Looking for persimmons in the golden autumn, I am confused whether the homesickness has weakened or increased. However, standing in a familiar yet unfamiliar place, looking at the sunset, I recite silently: The frost contains persimmon yellow, and the dew condenses with a fruity fragrance.

I vaguely realized that time is only ripe, but full of the sweet fragrance of affection.
