The yard is always full of many fond memories of childhood. In the past, every household had a yard, no matter how well your house was built or how well your family was. When I was a child, there were vines in the yard, and the vines were densely wrapped around the grape racks. Every summer, surrounded by lush leaves, my hometown is rich in watermelons. A watermelon was brought from the ground, and a small table was brought under the grape trellis. Watermelon is cut in the middle, and the fragrance is overflowing in an instant. Adults get together to share the delicious summer food, and children chase and fight under the vines.
In winter, the stored ears of corn become good things. Put a brazier, waste firewood and ears of corn in the yard, and the flames are very warm. There is always a market in town. At that time, it was often said that the elders at home would go to the market every once in a while, and when they came back, they would always buy some special snacks from the market, such as honey and sugar cubes. . . Childhood is always unrestrained, and those desserts brought back from the market are the sweetest waiting in the yard. Many children of the same age spend their holidays here, nourishing their hearts in the fields. In the era of material scarcity, everyone's desire is so simple.
As soon as there were many children, they took hammocks to the fields and found two trees at a suitable distance. The strong children tied the two ends tightly to the tree, and the hammock in the field was finished. In fact, hammocks are extremely simple, and hemp ropes are interwoven into a net. I often fall asleep and wake up with marks on my face. Lying in a hammock in autumn, there are patches of wheat waves in the distance, and the wind is blowing, and there are crisp beats. Time was really slow at that time, and the years were really slow.
When moving from the countryside to the city, many people still retain their love for the yard. There is often a big tree in the yard of every family. In spring, the tree is full of flowers, like a trumpet. We all call it morning glory. The flowers are inverted cone with purple gradient outside, white at the bottom and yellow inside, dotted with purple. The flowers and trees in the yard are the first step for children to explore nature. People like to keep some kittens and puppies in the yard. Animals are the cutest when they are young. Children can watch them grow up in the yard and feel the vitality of life. Our ancestors all went out of nature and stayed in nature. Many people will have a sense of belonging. Human nature is to pursue freedom and not be bound. Children who grow up in crowded cities always lose their closeness to nature.
Many people's childhood will come to an end after moving out of the yard, and the yard carries a free childhood. It quietly guards a family and records people's laughter, joys and sorrows. People enjoy the cool in the yard in summer and keep warm in winter. Spring and autumn are good times to play.
I often look around and feel that children born in reinforced concrete high-rise buildings always seem to lack some fun, while buildings with yards seem to be a luxury vision. People come out of the yard, and many people want to live in a house with a yard all their lives. The so-called "homecoming" is also the same. Come back after you leave. When I was young, I didn't know how to turn back and move forward all the way. When I was old enough to remember, I found that time could never go back.
