The leaves of Sapium sebiferum, Liquidambar formosana and Vitex negundo, which are all over the mountains, gradually deepen in color and turn red, from yellow, bright yellow to orange, deep red and brilliant red. The source of occupation in the autumn sun is like falling into a beautiful fairy tale world, colorful and dreamlike. The intoxicating red leaves are so warm, so extravagant, so charming, so full of vitality and appeal! It has the passion of fire and the brilliance of the rising sun.
If the source of spring and summer is full of youth and vitality, then the source of autumn and winter shows maturity and prosperity. The wild fruits in the mountains are ripe and attractive, and a string of gray wild kiwifruit hangs on the high branches along the mountain road to show off. The small red thorn fruit is dazzling, and the wild camellia fruit is also covered with branches, looking forward to your picking. The grapefruit in front of the house is ripe and bright yellow. The source of autumn and winter is not only rich in fruits, but also gorgeous flowers. Look at the foot of the mountain, the beach, the fields and the high slopes. The cockscomb and the ginger lotus are so warm and red, and the camellia is so beautiful and pure. The most surprising thing is that the reeds on the slope head and the river beach turned out to be strangely purple. The breeze is coming, waving to you kindly. The lake in Zhanyuan Mountain is also different from that outside the mountain, like pieces of jasper embedded in colorful Woods.
Those red leaves like fire, those mountain fruits everywhere and those colorful mountain flowers have become the most beautiful scenery in autumn and winter!
Zhanyuan is a small village with a population of 1000 under the jurisdiction of the study room of the ancient town in the south of Guixi. Surrounded by mountains, it falls into fertile land. There are mountains, lakes, streams, ancient trees, reeds and flowers all year round, which is a real paradise.
When the maple leaves and sapium sebiferum leaves all over the mountains are red, the hanging melons that occupy the source are ripe. The day before, I made an appointment to interview Zhan Yuan. Early the next morning, I got into the private car of Peng, the first secretary of Zhanyuan Village, and set off for the mountains. The car entered the study area, bypassed the lush mountains, and went along the road at the foot of the mountain in the thick autumn Shan Ye. The air in the mountains is fresh and refreshing. The car turned nine turns and eighteen turns, and stopped in an open field at the foot of a mountain, where a stream meandered. A large green hanging vine is spread out along the foot of the mountain, which is very spectacular. A middle-aged woman dressed in camouflage came out from under the vine. She came to us with a basket of orange gourds and greeted us warmly. Secretary Peng is busy introducing Zou Fangxiang, secretary of the Party branch of Zhanyuan Village.
Still in the car, Secretary Peng told us that hanging melon planting has become one of the important channels for villagers to get rich and increase their income. Zhanyuan is remote, with inconvenient transportation and weak village collective economy. How to develop and strengthen the village collective economy and drive poor households out of poverty is a difficult problem to help cadres. The climate and soil in Zhanyuan village are very suitable for planting hanging melons. From July, 2065438 to July, 2009, we helped organize urban management cadres of village cadres to study technology in Qianshan City, Anhui Province. After returning, they planted melons to develop the village collective economy according to local conditions, and the village cadres took the lead. Now the hanging melon base in the village has expanded to more than 30 mu, which has driven some poor households to participate in planting and provided them with entrepreneurial opportunities. Hanging gourd cultivation, as an industry, has flourished at the source.
Walking into the base, the eyes are full of orange gourds, and the gateball is hung under the green rattan frame, which is really attractive. I came under the vine and smelled the melon. I just feel a little drunk. I couldn't help taking a picture near a goal-sized squash. Secretary Peng said with a smile, "Guagua is full of treasures, fruits and roots can be used as medicine. It is recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica and other dictionaries of traditional Chinese medicine. Guagua seeds are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, protein, 17 amino acids and various trace elements. It has the effects of clearing away lung heat, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, moistening intestines and relaxing bowels, and has auxiliary effects on hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperviscosity. "
As early as March 5th, three or five villagers were busy picking ripe Guagua at the Guagua base. They filled them with bamboo baskets and plastic buckets, then put them on the road, loaded them with trucks, and transported them back to the village to peel, clean and dry them. Zou Fangxiang, secretary of the branch, said: "The melon seeds in our village can be sold well, and the demand is in short supply. The output of melons in the second half of this year is affected by the weather, but this year's harvest is still ok, and the profits will be distributed to poor households at the end of the year. "
Nowadays, Zhanyuan people have not failed to live up to the excellent natural resources in their hometown, hanging melons have been planted well, and Chinese bee breeding has also begun. Almost every household in Zhan Yuan kept Chinese bees, and the elf flew to the farm by himself. Zhanyuan people used wooden boxes and barrels to entertain them to settle down. Elves also know how to be grateful, so they repay their masters with mellow honey.
If there are more beekeeping, it will become an industry. However, the smell of wine is also afraid of the deep alley. With more honey, sales become a problem. Peng himself, the lively first secretary in the village, designed exquisite honey packaging and applied for a registered trademark, and promoted the original ecological Chinese honey planted by farmers in Zhanyuan to both inside and outside the province through supermarkets and the Internet, which increased the income of village collectives and villagers. Secretary Peng led us to a family that has been beekeeping for decades at the foot of the mountain, and saw only a dozen or twenty boxes of wooden beehives scattered in the open space on the side of the back room. Most of the bees coming into winter are crowded in beehives and refuse to come out.
Good flowers produce good honey, and the honey that accounts for the source is well known. "There are many colors in our mountains in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the honey cut is particularly sweet and mellow." Zou Zhishu, who accompanied him, said proudly.
The host family was hospitable and invited us into the house and sat down. We scooped out crystal clear honey crystals with spoons, added them to our tea bowls and stirred them for us to drink. Take a sip, it's refreshing, and your lips and teeth are fragrant.
People in the mountains are simple and hardworking. Most young people go out of the mountains to make a living in cities outside the mountains or further coastal cities. Old people stay in the village and do their best to make their lives interesting. Teacher Xi is a restless person. He is over 70 years old, but he is still hale and hearty. He retired from his post as a rural teacher and had a good life, but he was restless and led the old woman to stay in the computer room of Guangyuan Hydropower Station at the foot of the high mountain behind Zhanyuan Village. In Mr. Xi's own words, "If we can do something else, life will be interesting." .
The mountains are deserted, so Mr. and Mrs. Xi keep some dogs and chickens for fun. We went to Zhanyuan that day, and somehow the teacher knew. He just invited us to his hydropower station for dinner. That day, Mr. Xi just caught some small fish and shrimp from Shenzhen-Hong Kong Net, and with the vegetables and fruits planted by the husband and wife, there were more than a dozen dishes for dinner, which was very rich. Teacher Xi and his wife live a leisurely life in heaven, smelling birds singing in the morning and listening to them singing at dusk. Teacher Xi is like a red leaf on Zhanyuan Mountain. Even first frost should be in full bloom.
In autumn and winter, the mountain water dries up, so hydropower stations often can't run completely, and only some units can generate electricity. We are very lucky. Two of the three units in the power station generate electricity at night, which can generate electricity at night 1 10,000-20,000 kwh. When it comes to power generation, Mr. Xi is very happy, and it is hard to hide his pride in harvesting happiness after hard work.
After dinner, I returned to the city from the hydropower station. Through the window, I saw that the maple leaves and tallow leaves that occupied the back of Yuanshan Mountain began to turn red, but they were not as deep as those in Yang Shan. Peng, the secretary, said that in late autumn, the mountains and plains were all red, and the layers of forests were all dyed, making the Zhan Garden more beautiful. Zhanyuan people are planning to build a farmhouse and develop rural tourism by taking advantage of the beautiful scenery of the four seasons presented by nature.
When traveling in the mountains is booming, the days of Zhanyuan people are as prosperous as maple leaves on the mountains in late autumn.
