When I was a child, I pinned gardenias behind my ears and tied them to my ponytail with a hair ring, right?
As soon as I returned to my room after washing, I saw this bunch of gardenias on my small table, and I happily ran to ask my mother, where did this come from?
My mother said, "The ones planted in the yard of the neighbor's house are almost grateful, so let me pick them up and put them in the ...... as soon as possible."
Seeing this bouquet of flowers, it reminded me of my childhood: whose gardenia bloomed in the village, I went to invite my friends to run around and ask the owner if they could pick one, and after agreeing, they took it off and pinned it behind their ears.
When I was in elementary school, there were many gardenias in the village, and peach blossoms, pear blossoms, plum blossoms, and even iris were everywhere in certain seasons, so it can be said that at that time, the village was surrounded by flowers.
But I don't know when the flowers in the village gradually disappeared, and when I look at it now, the peach, pear, and plum trees are either dead or have been cut down, and the iris is no longer in full bloom as before...... The village is no longer lively, it is quiet, even the roosters and dogs are not as happy as before, and the people are not as happy as before...
Is it true that people have grown up, have more troubles, and have begun to cherish a carefree childhood...
