Li Min/Shenzhen

The osmanthus flowers downstairs bloomed again, and there was no discipline at all. Here is Lingnan, which is like the osmanthus flowers in Jiangnan, which bloom only once a year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and are rich and poetic.

When I was a teenager in the border of the northern country, I had never seen osmanthus flowers, reading Li Qingzhao's osmanthus poems, the imaginary osmanthus flowers should be very large and gorgeous, how can the flowers in the fragrant ten miles be small, at least the bowl is large, and there is a vast energy and momentum.

The Taiwanese TV series "August Laurel Flowers" was broadcast, and the whole city paid attention to it. The theme song sings: "A wisp of incense floats in a deep old dream." Acacia was silent, and only the fragrance of osmanthus flowers drifted darkly. "It turns out that the osmanthus flower is a delicate fragrance, intermittent and endless, and unconsciously it has soaked your body and your heart." Looking forward to seeing the osmanthus is like looking forward to growing up and leaving home, going to a distant place, to a brand new city that no one knows, the city should be big, there should be a cultural atmosphere, and there must be a person I love.

The honeymoon trip chose Hangzhou , the city I've been waiting for for a long time with too many allusions, too many beautiful views, too much food. I got off the plane and went straight to the hotel by the West Lake, although it was late at night, I was still excited. Put down your luggage and run out, 700 meters from the hotel is the West Lake. yes! West Lake, I'm finally here! The willows by the lake are dark and the water is quiet, you can't see any scenery, only the sweet honey aroma comes from time to time, surprise, ask the passers-by who walk, is this the fragrance of osmanthus flowers? The man must be a native of Hangzhou, so he looked me up and down, and said a bunch of words, the speed of speech was too fast, the voice was too light, I could only hear a clear sentence of "Mother Laolao Xianghao", which should be said that this osmanthus flower is extremely fragrant. Although I didn't understand, I still rejoiced, kept thanking, and followed the fragrance to find out, this tree is fragrant, that tree is more fragrant, the lights are dim, it is difficult to find a few clusters, take advantage of no one, on the most exuberant cluster of hands, turn your head and leave, afraid of being angry at the enthusiastic Hangzhou aunt.

When I got to the room, I immediately spread out at my desk and looked closely, the golden color, each of which was so small that it was negligible, and if it were not for the clusters, its existence could not be found. A little disappointed, such a fragrant flower, it is not the achievement of one person, but the strength of the collective. This osmanthus flower can not be on the table, it can not become a model at all, a single tree does not become a forest, a single cinnamon does not accumulate incense, it has to be thousands of flowers, only to become a famous person who floats in incense for ten miles.

The next day got up early and ran to the West Lake, did not expect to just out of the hotel gate, gave me a huge surprise, the hotel door more than a dozen Dangui is beautiful, the color of gold and red, than last night's stealing of the golden gui do not know how many times stronger, Western oil paintings as rich and compelling, around the fifty-year-old Dan Gui from time to time to look up, non-stop vigorous inhalation, as if to suck the lungs full, after a long time, only step by step back to the West Lake, no desire no passion, only to meet the faint joy after satisfaction. It turned out that osmanthus was like this.

The third day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, sitting in the open bar by the West Lake listening to folk songs, tasting a slightly cold beer, just like the osmanthus flowers that came from time to time, as if traveling to hundreds of years ago, the singer sang low, and caizi wrote poetry, almost drunk.

Because I know the appearance of the osmanthus flowers, I personally picked it, smelled it personally, and personally tasted the osmanthus root, osmanthus cake, osmanthus sugar, and I also brought two bottles of osmanthus nectar before leaving, and then I saw the osmanthus tree, it was faint, it was not like this, there was nothing to be excited about.

Fast forward more than ten years, my daughter entered the third year of junior high school, the days suddenly became tense, but I changed a new job, the new unit environment is complex, I am a newcomer, but I am the elderly, want to integrate into a new environment is not enough, all kinds of pressure to come, in short, all kinds of unhappiness.

But the child is in the third year of junior high school, the child's father's company is also under pressure, and he does not dare to say more when he returns home, only to endure in silence. It was late at night after work that day, and when I opened my eyes and closed my eyes, I was scolded by the leader and sneered at by my colleagues, and I almost shed tears in the carriage several times, forcing myself to endure. Out of the subway station, tired and hungry, thinking about whether to go home to cook bowl noodles, or to call for fried flour on the side of the road, is tangled, the end of the nose is suddenly stuffed with sweet fragrance, has been pouring into the two lungs of the suffocated, instantly awakened the bitter atrium, the eyes also have light. Stopping to look around, I saw the osmanthus flowers blooming on the side of the road, Xu was so well nourished that it blossomed into a tree full of branches, and the golden flowers pressed over the green leaves, like a gift tree with countless fruits.

Standing still for a long time, I did not reach out to fold, just stood in place and looked up, each cluster of osmanthus flowers was strong and full, and each osmanthus flower was like a strong young man after fitness, fearlessly showing me majestic.

It wasn't until the black flower mosquito bit my arm into three extremely itchy bags that I woke up, smiled and walked home, and the accumulated resentment, anger and helplessness were all gone.

This osmanthus flower was once despised by me, because of the limited understanding before, I always felt that the osmanthus flower was opened in August, only once a year, but when I arrived in Shenzhen, I learned that there is a four-season laurel, which is a moon flower, but the flower fragrance is not as strong as Dan Gui and Golden Gui. I always shake my head at this kind of unreserved flower, as a flower, it must make people rare, it is worthy of being called a flower, blooming all the time, blooming in season, which will be cherished. Every time you pass by this osmanthus tree, never look at it more, anyway, it is a tree that often blooms, and the flowers are not warm, so ordinary that I don't want to look at it more. But the osmanthus flower ignores these, it just grows silently, accumulating energy, maybe only three or five flowers bloom last month, this month opens a dozen flowers, but wait until the energy accumulates enough, it is also the east wind night flowers and trees, naturally attracting your attention, making you impressed.

Maybe the work is not going well, and the new colleagues are not willing to accept you. No need to complain, just work hard. When you are important enough, whether others accept it or not, there is a dark fragrance floating in it. You just have to work hard and wait for the flowers to bloom.
