Unforgettable Orchids in Early Summer (Prose)

Text/Hu Arong

Every time I go back to my hometown in Siping, I will go for a walk in my nephew's yard. The yard is not big, and a row near the courtyard wall is filled with pots of orchids. My nephew likes wild orchids. He often goes to Xianzhou Mountain to find some wild orchids to plant in the yard, water and fertilize them and cultivate them carefully. I haven't seen you for a few days. There are tender buds and leaves, yellow and tender, like a baby's little hand swaying in the wind, so cute. In recent years, bluegrass has grown well and flourished. After Tomb-Sweeping Day, this little guy accidentally opened a few beautiful little flowers, which were slightly fragrant and elegant. The morning is clear and the wind is clear. The "nine-headed orchids" on the windowsill and those fragrant orchids are quietly blooming with her elegance. Graceful green leaves, such as velvet yellow flowers, are light, soft and fragrant. So, every morning, the fragrance is overflowing. Looking out of the window at this time, there are scenes of scenery, lush and unique artistic conception.

I like orchids. I like the fragrance of her heart and spleen. Flowers bloom in Leng Yan, and the fragrance is overflowing. Orchids are beautiful, beautiful and elegant. It is more like a graceful girl, blooming quietly alone, not competing with flowers, lofty and arrogant, narcissistic. I'm not the only one who likes orchids. I just want to keep it in my heart and enjoy orchids, orchids and orchids from a distance. Since ancient times, there are so many flowers and plants, only orchids are known as "the king's clothes" and "the king's fragrance". Lan is famous for its fragrance, but also for its purity, which is clear in spirit, color, spirit and rhyme. Clean is clean. Everything in the world has something in common, but Lan was born in, not changed by the environment, nor interfered by the outside world. Isn't this honest and clean quality the sound of nature between heaven and earth?

I like orchids because my mother's name is spearmint. Her name is like her life, like a wild orchid in a mountain stream and a pixel orchid. No matter where she was born, she will never lose her personality. In a mountain stream or an empty valley, even if you grow up in a barren environment, you will be destroyed by wind, frost, rain and dew, cold and heat, and polished by years. She can retain the carving of time, precipitate the charm of time, and produce elegant and beautiful flowers, which are pure and flawless. The same transparent and clean, the same quiet and elegant. My mother is a person who has experienced great joys and sorrows. She sees through the fame and fortune in the world and the grievances in the world of mortals. She lives in the countryside, enjoying the clouds and playing with the rain in her spare time, ploughing and transplanting rice seedlings in her busy time and living a happy life. Be broad-minded and be an ordinary person. She is always charitable at ordinary times, and everyone in the village calls her "Niang"! She is like spearmint, not because she is not appreciated, but because she is not in the downtown area. Her beauty lies in people's hearts, and her beauty lies in indifference and tranquility.

I like orchids, so I like Lanxi, where beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery are also the hometown of orchids. Youlan drifts along the Lanjiang River in Wan Li, spreading its fragrance to the world. My mother lives in Lanxi, and at the age of ten, she worked as a child laborer in the "tin foil shop" at pontoon head in Lanxi. She became a delicate girl, and later became the proprietress of "Monsoon Cloth Shop" in Lanxi. When the Japanese invaders invaded China, my mother also suffered greatly. When the shop was burned and her husband died of illness, she had to drag her son and daughter to her hometown in Siping. After liberation, my mother was the director of the village women's Federation. That year, she met my father My father fled the Kuomintang army and returned to his hometown. My father relies on his love and affection for Lan. So, my mother changed into a separate wedding dress; So, my mother gave birth to my little son. Looking back on these worldly things, the image of Niang stands in front of me, and faint memories flow in my heart, which makes people feel really excited. The world of mortals, the grievances of a lifetime and the love of a lifetime are all in the graceful and vast space of this blue language.

I like orchids, and I also like reading a book and enjoying a scroll of poems, because all the dreams in the book have the taste of orchids. Sometimes people calm down, enjoy some orchids and look at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window. Have a quiet, a little smile and a sense of security. Nature is in my heart, indifferent in my arms. Wait for an orchid to bloom and watch the flowers bloom and fall. In the fleeting years, the morning with faint flowers and morning glow warmed the good mood of the day. Because of the "cold rain", the world is warm. Because of ups and downs, we have a rich life. In my dream, orchids are still elegant and fragrant in my heart. I have planted you in my heart, whether you are in the sky or in front of me. I am thinking that one day, when I am old, I will go back in a tired boat, back to my hometown and old house, have some new tea and watch an old Wu opera, and time will pass like this. Whenever I am free, I will quietly watch that simple time, enjoy tea and orchids, write a few lines of poetry, and keep the warmth of the years, so that my mood is so beautiful!
