Essay on leaves
In summer, many flowers have withered, but the branches and leaves of plants are growing vigorously, and the sun is cool.
The most popular leaf, I prefer ginkgo tree, which grows straight. In spring, the leaves of ginkgo trees are covered with a little green, which slowly unfolds and turns out to be small fans. Several new jujube trees were installed in the yard, and small leaves grew, each of which grew tightly on the branches. I also like to look at the leaves of Albizia Albizia, which are as thin and dense as human eyelashes. When the wind blows a little, they will dance at once, which makes people feel quite comfortable. Albizia Albizia will produce pink fluffy flowers and hang them on the treetops.
Similarly, when a gust of wind blows, poplar leaves will make a sound. In the sun, poplar leaves hang lightly on the trees, just like a string of wind chimes. The leaves of poplar are similar to those of French buttonwood, but not as big as those of French buttonwood. Buttonwood trees also grow very tall, with denser and overlapping branches and leaves, and the wind rustles. In addition to the leaves, there are many hair balls hanging.
Trees with hairballs are also Broussonetia papyrifera. In June and July in summer, there will be many red and sweet short strips on it, which people can eat and birds like to eat. Birds not only like to eat all the fruits of the leaves, but also like to eat the black berries on Ligustrum lucidum, so that cars parked under trees leave a lot of bird droppings. Looking closely, it turns out that the seeds of Ligustrum lucidum are indigestible by birds, and the flowers of buttonwood trees are also liked by birds. Before and after each visit to Tomb-Sweeping Day, the phoenix tree blooms like a trumpet and a bell hanging on a tree. It's really magnificent, and it will remind people of "planting phoenix trees to attract phoenix". Some of the flowers of Indus are white and some are light blue. When the phoenix tree flowers fall, the leaves are full. The leaves of buttonwood are wide and juicy. If you hold them in your hand, you will dye your hands green and touch the plush with one hand, which seems to be green blood.
One morning, I accidentally saw a small sparrow flying with a falling phoenix flower in its mouth. It holds the roots of its petals, and the taste there is slightly sweet, because I tasted it when I was a child.
When I was a child, I grew up in the countryside, herding sheep, cutting pig grass and catching scorpions with my friends ... This also opened my eyes, and I grew a lot of knowledge of nature. I know that pigs like to eat a kind of grass called "thorn Peng", and I know that sheep are not afraid of a kind of weed called "thorn pot" to prick their mouths. This weed grows near the ground and has some small hard balls covered with thorns. If you pinch it with your hand, your finger will be pricked. But the sheep don't care. They cling to the ground and eat grass. The little owner of the sheep was worried that he would hurt the sheep, so he quickly pulled the sheep away to eat other grass.
In rural areas, livestock and people have established deep feelings. I go herding sheep every day. Sometimes, when people are tired and don't want to go, they have to leave them in a place where grass grows luxuriantly. At dusk, when the sheep know their own door, they will go directly into the master's yard and into the sheepfold without shouting.
Even the dog raised by the owner (the dog in the countryside is by no means a pet dog) will always have a good time with the little owner and will protect the owner. If two friends fight, the dog will jump on them, but it won't bite. Only another friend who was fighting stopped in fear and said, "I'm not afraid of you. I'm really afraid of your dog." The onlookers burst into laughter, and a "fight" vanished in an instant.
My children grew up in a bustling city. Once he went to the countryside, I pointed to several strings of red, yellow and yellow corn cobs hanging under the eaves of a farmhouse opposite him and asked him what they were. The child replied, "That's firecrackers!"
