pumpkin is no stranger to me. In the country where I lived as a child, pumpkins can be seen everywhere, which is the most common thing. As soon as you walk into our company, you can see that almost every family will have a pumpkin rack. At first glance, the flower stands, roofs and fences at the entrance of the courtyard are covered with thick green pumpkin vines.

when you walk into the fields, you can see pumpkins planted in a large area. The scenery is grand and gives people an endless feeling. Pumpkin, the broad leaves are like lotus leaves, and its vines have strong growth ability, which seems to have a momentum of courage. Looking at a piece of pumpkin growing well, I don't want to mention how happy I am. The eye-catching pieces of green are rolling in the breeze, like a blue ocean ...

At that time, our family lived in the Great Northern Wilderness, and there were large pieces of pumpkins planted in our company. Like wheat, soybeans and sorghum, they were planted in large areas as food. Pumpkins can be eaten not only as vegetables, but also as food. Moreover, pumpkins, no matter how big or small, will not be thrown away. Some animal husbandry companies will buy those tender pumpkins and store them for winter storage feed. Therefore, pumpkin is a treasure in people's eyes.

when I talk about pumpkins, I naturally think of my mother. Because my mother always likes to plant a few pumpkins, either in the yard or in the fields, or even simply in the wilderness and let them grow at will. I often see that my mother pointed to the pumpkin that climbed to the roof, outside the fence or outside her home, and said, "Pumpkin likes to make public the most. The more people look at it, or throw their heads out, the more it can knot and grow bigger!"

what mother said is very reasonable, because the more ventilated the pumpkin is, the better it will grow. If the flowers are pollinated well, the more melons there are, the bigger they will be. Perhaps, it is for this reason that my mother likes to plant several pumpkins on every field at home. No matter whether you plant corn, sorghum or vegetables, you will leave a place for pumpkins in the field.

Pumpkin, regardless of its terrain, is barren and fertile, which is a good crop that doesn't care too much about the poor and loves the rich. Perhaps, because of this, the pumpkin grows very freely. Its leaves are wide and the vines keep stretching forward. As long as you don't start, it will always stretch forward, as if it were endless.

I like pumpkins, and I often go to the fields or under my own pumpkin rack, so I can look at them more when I have nothing to do. Sometimes, I gently say to the thriving pumpkin seedlings, "Pumpkin, pumpkin, mom says you like to make public, so I will look at you more and let you bear more pumpkins." Maybe, one day, I will write about you, so that people can know and like you! Why don't you try to be competitive and make more pumpkins, which are big and sweet? ！”

every time I see a pumpkin, I silently think, maybe pumpkins have ears, too! Every year, my pumpkin grows the best. When the autumn wind rises one night, the wind rolls up green pumpkin leaves, and you will suddenly find big round pumpkins under the leaves. At that time, the surprise in my heart was not only a bumper harvest, but also a sense of accomplishment: "Oh, look at the pumpkin planted in our family, which is big and which is more, haha!" What a joy! " That's really, "Jade seeds are planted near Chai Men in spring, and golden melons are like small pots in summer."

I will not hesitate to run home and tell my parents when I feel happy. Father was not surprised when he heard this, but said, "Just ask about hard work and Mo Wen's harvest. How much sweat you shed, pumpkin knows how to repay, and never let down the sweat, haha! "

Mother also smiled and said, "Sweating, indeed. Don't forget, pumpkin is the favorite to make public, and it is also indispensable to look at it more! "

Before mother finished, neighbors Aunt Yang and Uncle Liu immediately said, "Yes, yes, your girl praises it every day, and pumpkins have ears. After listening to it, I was so happy that I got a lot of pumpkins. It is also better than who has a big knot and how much knot! "

laughter travels far away, as if it were heard by pumpkins one by one. They are also laughing, laughing as if their stomachs hurt, just waiting to be picked ...

Autumn is also the busiest time for people. People should store all kinds of vegetables for winter. Of course, pumpkin is the best choice for storing vegetables in winter.

After Qiu Qiu, pumpkins will be indispensable to our dining table. The last pumpkin, the next pumpkin, is never tired of eating. Every time I steam steamed bread, my mother will steam a few pumpkins. When the steamed bread is steamed and the lid is lifted, the aroma of pumpkin is flowing all over the room, and the greedy insect has long been drawn out. "Wow, it smells good! Mom, I want the biggest one, haha! " Mother picked it up and put it on a plate and brought it to me. I can't think of anything, so I went to Koitabashi at the door with a plate, and several partners gathered around, and you shared it with her. That smell, there is no comparison!

there are many ways to eat pumpkins. Because mother is handy, and because pumpkins are really delicious. As soon as the pumpkin is collected, it is not only our family, but also whoever walks into it at will, and there are pumpkins on the dinner table. Mother likes to steam pumpkins first, then mix them with flour and dough to make various kinds of pasta to eat. Mother makes pumpkin into pumpkin pie, pumpkin steamed bread and pumpkin vegetable pie ...

I always think that the pumpkin pie made by mother is the simplest and the most delicious. At that time, when I was very young, I knew how to eat. Every time I collected pumpkins, I clamored for my mother to make pumpkin pie. No matter how busy my mother is, she will take time out to cook for me. At that time, I was quiet, lying on my desk, watching my mother busy inside and out while writing.

Mother wore sky-blue clothes, put on an apron, then rolled up two twisted braids and rolled up her sleeves, looking neat. Mother peeled the pumpkin first, cut it into thin slices, poured water into the pot, and steamed the pumpkin in the steamer until soft; Then put the steamed pumpkin in a pot, press it into a paste, add sugar and mix well; Then, put the glutinous rice flour into a bowl and stir it with pumpkin puree, and knead it until it is yellow; Finally, divide the dough into several parts, rub them into small balls, and crush them into cakes by hand. At this point, pour the oil into the pot, put the cakes one by one after the oil is hot, and turn them over with fine fire.

in a short time, the sweet smell of pumpkin has drifted out. I can't hold back any longer, and I can't be quiet anymore. I shouted loudly, "Mom, I smell the fragrance. It smells delicious. It came from my mother's hands, hehe!"

When my mother, who has been busy with her head bent, hears this, she will say, "Look at you, greedy girl, who wants it when you grow up! Maybe, my mother-in-law will scold your mouth! "

I blushed and said, "Why? I find a good-natured mother-in-law, like my mother, who won't scold me! "

Mother smiled and said, "Yuer, if you want your mother-in-law to be kind to you, you must be diligent. Then, you have to be good to your mother-in-law, two good ones and one good one, remember? " Mother said, and scooped the first pumpkin pie out of the pot into a porcelain plate and brought it to me.

I couldn't wait to reach for it and want to eat it. My mother immediately said, "It's still hot. Burn your mouth carefully and eat it later!"

as soon as mother's voice fell, she saw Aunt Yang walk in. "It smells good! The greedy worm was led out by the pumpkin pie fragrance in your house! " Aunt Yang took her Xiaoyongzi in one hand and a plate in the other. "I just made pumpkin pie, but I didn't expect her mother to make pumpkin pie ..."

During the conversation, neighbors came to play, all talking about how to eat all kinds of delicious food made from pumpkins. Aunt Yang urged me to have a quick taste of her pumpkin pie. This kind of vegetable cake is made by rubbing tender pumpkin into silk, adding eggs and flour, and frying in oil. It is very delicious. I took a bite and gave a thumbs-up and said, "Aunt Yang's pumpkin pie is as good as my mother's pumpkin pie!"

Mother smiled and said, "Aunt Yang, you never forget to send it to her. She is really blessed! You love her so much, Yuer, thank you, Aunt Yang! "

Aunt Yang is very kind, likes joking, is very kind to people and has always been very kind to me. When she heard my mother say this, she jokingly said, "I want her to be my daughter-in-law when she grows up!" I took it first, so don't give it to anyone else! Yuer, I like Yuer. "

when I heard this, my face turned red. Aunt Yang often plays this kind of joke. She didn't feel anything before, but now she is shy. Considering what my mother just said, I am even more shy. So, I put down the pumpkin pie, stopped eating the pumpkin pie, and ran out quickly. Behind her, the laughter of her mother and neighbors rang out: "She is old, shy and sensible!"

I ran all the way to the field. At the moment, the fields are full of harvest scenes, and people are busy harvesting all kinds of crops, the most of which is of course pumpkins. People are busy with people's backs, horses and cars, and they are all busy harvesting pumpkins. Their faces are full of joy and harvest.

Every time I think of the harvest scene, I think of the pumpkin seedlings growing in the country fields and homes. They were once lush and green, and suddenly, as if suddenly, I was standing among those pumpkin seedlings, and my mother and father were busy with their work. They wanted to "pinch the vines and pinch the tips" for the pumpkin seedlings. Because when the melon seedlings grow to about 15 cm and the flowers are full of vines, it is necessary to pinch the vines and pinch the tips. Keep at most two melons and at most 2 leaves on a vine. Sometimes, it is necessary to "press the vines" and "turn over the vines", which is also a key work to ensure the growth of pumpkins. Pumpkin seedlings will be blown up by the wind when they grow in the wild or on a shelf, so they should be crushed and turned over. Often, my parents are busy in the pumpkin field, and I play in the pumpkin field, flapping butterflies for a while, watching frogs catch green worms for a while, sometimes picking some pumpkin leaves on my head, and running to the grass to play the game of catching devils with my friends.

At that time, I had a good time, but when I got home, I felt some itching and scratches on my legs and arms, and it still hurt a little after washing with water. Generally, I will endure it and not say it hurts. I also know that when I was playing in the pumpkin field, I was scratched by the vine and Ye Er. Now that I think about it, I really responded to such a poem: "When I was young, I teased the pumpkin pedicle, and there was a long beard coil spring. I forgot that the leaves and stems were all thorns, and the whole body was scratched and itchy. "

actually, these things are nothing to me at all. Living in the company, with the fields and crops every day, I am not so delicate, just like this pumpkin, simple and resistant to beating. It's because of my parents' company, and the strong nostalgia of my friends and villagers, my heart is always warm and happy ... < P > Pumpkin, you are really flamboyant! I like your unpretentious appearance best, and I like your strong hometown feeling. Although I have left my hometown, my heart has never left the land I love, never. Perhaps, I got more pumpkins from snacks, which have long been deeply rooted in my heart, just like that local land, always occupying my heart, and I will never forget it, never!
