the loquat tree is facing the gate. As soon as the guest walked into the gate, a burst of fruity fragrance came to the nose. The first thing you see is green leaves and golden fruits. They are like a layer of golden fog on the green clouds, which will immediately make guests feel at home and feel at home.
The branches of the loquat tree are very thick, and it takes ten people to completely embrace it. The loquat tree is so tall, isn't it just like the big banyan tree in a text "Bird's Paradise" read in middle school? When you look carefully at the top of the loquat tree, you will see that there are two or three bird's nests on the branches. Will there be eggs in the nest? Strong curiosity finally made me climb the loquat tree to find out. I saw that the bird's nest was empty, and it was made of thin branches. It was exquisite. In order to feed the next generation, the mother bird worked tirelessly and skillfully to make such a warm nest for the mother bird and the baby bird family, which made me feel good and gave me a thumbs-up for her love for the birds.
How old is the loquat tree? Its bark is chapped, and many places will be amber-like. What vicissitudes has it gone through? Grandma, the oldest in the family, doesn't know either. According to her, the loquat tree grew like this as soon as she married her grandfather. I think, in order to get more sunshine and rain, the loquat tree will grow taller and taller regardless of all resistance. I am awed by his strong vitality and survival ability!
The tallest branch is surprisingly high above the eaves, and I can't help thinking of a poem I once read, "An almond comes out of the wall", but when I think about it carefully, it is more like "outshining others". Doesn't he feel lonely? Perhaps, only in this way can he become better and better. This is especially true of things, not to mention people? A truly outstanding person is nothing more than sitting on the cold bench, enduring loneliness, moving forward in the right direction firmly and without hesitation. Even if there are no big difficulties on the way, even if they are squeezed out, their beliefs will always make them afraid to give up easily and guide them to keep running forward. Because there is only one thought in his heart, that is, he wants to win and become the first.
When the leaves are all gone after winter, when I see the sharp tip of loquat tree straight into the blue and distant sky, my fantasy climbs to the top of the tree and looks at the sky silently for a long time. This old loquat tree is like an energetic old man, looking at the distance intently and thoughtfully. On the slender branches of loquat trees, spiders made webs on them and built their homes. Occasionally, the bodies of insects stuck to them. When there is light, this small net will also reflect thin clear light.
In late autumn, loquat trees have already achieved fruitful results. The loquat babies who are "fat for nothing" are next to each other, hugging each other as if they are afraid of the cold, and they are surrounded by the fire to keep warm. From a distance, it looks like a golden golden mountain. As soon as school is over, I always invite a few companions to climb trees and pick fruits. There are various ways to climb the tree. Some rely on climbing bamboo ladders, leaving one person to hold the ladder below; Some skilled people are responsible for bending down under the tree as stepping stones for their partners. After everyone else gets on the tree, they can find a way to climb it by themselves. Some charge occasionally or climb trees directly without any external force, etc. More interestingly, sometimes, in the face of branches that we can't reach, we will find a long dry bamboo pole and tap it gently. Several other people will take bamboo baskets in the corresponding areas to catch the knocked loquat. In order to keep the knocked loquat intact, we put layers of grass on the bottom of the bamboo basket, and more careful friends will also put thick leaves around their bamboo baskets and other protective measures. At the moment when the loquat fell, you went back and forth, and I went there, each with quick eyes and quick legs, as if playing a game or a competition, orderly and agile. Everyone's skill in picking up the pipa was superb, and none of them were missed and scattered on the ground. The skillful and rapid action was amazing. It looked like a lively and busy autumn harvest map!
When all this is over, everyone will find an empty flat nearby and sit cross-legged. They will send the received loquat to a basket and put it in the middle of everyone. When everyone enjoys the delicious food together, everyone can't help but feel their inner joy. Everyone reaches out and grabs it. The full and golden loquat can't help but smell it with their noses. It's simply mouth watering and pressing. You look at me, I look at you again, and everyone laughs at each other.
In summer, the foliage is flourishing, and the thick green leaves flutter on people's brows. I couldn't help standing under the tree and looking up: thick leaves have built a canopy, which has become a good place for our family to drink tea and enjoy the cool. At first glance, the breeze is like a boat crossing the sea, dancing with the wind, won't it leave a little warm feeling in our hearts? If we take a closer look, we will see long green bugs crawling on some leaves, leaving a semicircular gap on the leaves it climbed, but near the semicircular gap, you can see all kinds of many-hued's color marks.
loquat leaves can not only provide people with a cool place to live, but also have valuable medicinal value.
when I was a child, I was too weak, and I often got sick every now and then. Because my family is in the countryside, the local economic conditions are too poor, there is no hospital, and I have to go to the hospital in the county when I am sick. However, perhaps our home is really too far away from the county hospital, and people in the village will always come up with many remedies to treat diseases. For the sake of my health, my mother went to consult a famous local mother-in-law who is proficient in folk remedies. I heard many people say that she has made great achievements in daily ailments and is very famous, so she was honored as "the doctor's mother-in-law" by the locals. It is said that my mother waited in line for several days to see this wonderful doctor's mother-in-law. After getting the secret recipe, whenever I have a fever, my mother will always pick a few loquat leaves in the yard, carefully clean them, then put them in the pot, add sugar after the water is boiled, and simmer for about half an hour, until most of the juice in them oozes out, before making the soup. As the old saying goes, "things are scarce", and sugar was very expensive at that time, but for me, my mother saved money every day and bought it by "tightening her belt" to prevent me from having a fever.
loquat leaves have a remarkable effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials. Every time you eat them once or twice, you will always get better. Both dried loquat leaves and those still growing on trees can be used as medicine. Therefore, in order to avoid the inconvenience caused by seasonal changes, my mother also deliberately dried loquat leaves, wrapped them in fresh-keeping bags, and let them dry in the sun from time to time to prevent mildew. Later, my mother specially found a piece of land and planted several loquat trees. Even though the land was tight at that time, even though she knew that this land could create a certain degree of material support and ease the economic pressure of our family, even though she might be puzzled and ridiculed by others.
The loquat tree grows through its own efforts, and finally becomes an indomitable tree. Not only can it provide a home foundation for the bird's nest, but also create a warm family for the birds; Bring sweet fruits to people and meet the needs of people's bodies; Give people shade and wind, and leave a cool place for people in summer; More importantly, the loquat tree saved many sick people and made people grow up healthily. This spirit of selfless dedication and self-sacrifice of loquat tree is worth learning and carrying forward by every generation.
in this way, in the touching memories of loquat trees, it was painted with a touch of maternal love. I love loquat trees more from now on.
