After lunch, we returned to our hometown, there was nothing new to discover along the way, and when we arrived at our hometown, we saw our dear mother, who was already old, and even her youngest son began to run for five. I remember a song once sang "Where has the time gone, the little feet in the memory, the little mouth of the flesh, the love handed over to her all my life, only for that one parent, where has the time gone, I haven't felt young and old, I have children and raised daughters for a lifetime, I am full of children crying and laughing, where has the time gone, I haven't taken a good look at your eyes, chai rice oil and salt for half a lifetime, in the blink of an eye there are only wrinkles on my face..." This song is very moving, my father has been away from us for many years, The mother also unconsciously bent her waist and her ears were also back, but fortunately, the eldest brother took good care of her.
During the exchange in his hometown, the eldest brother said that he made a good meal every day to the table where his mother often sat, because of the back of his mother's ear, he often used gestures to remind his mother to come down from upstairs to eat, and the eldest brother also revealed a detail, he often used an electric teapot to boil water in the ear room to make tea, and told his mother that he could not drink the well water directly, he left a third every time, so that the mother knew that he was boiling cold boiled water, and he could drink it directly.
In the afternoon, in addition to talking to my mother, I stayed near the wall of my hometown and observed the birds outside from time to time. Inside the walls, several white-throated red-rumped plovers frequent sour papaya trees. On a pile of branches and hay next to a distant field, a pair of bead-necked doves were combing their feathers, looking like a loving couple.
The eldest brother had already begun to prepare dinner, and I told the eldest brother about the brown-winged crow I had seen in the morning, and the eldest brother said, "Oh, this yellow bird, just now it is still drinking water in the pond below, it comes here every day to drink water, and I live in harmony with them" The eldest brother pointed out to me the location of the bird and told me that it was going to come to drink water several times a day, and you waited, and it would come in a moment. So he found a small bench and crouched around the corner of the kitchen, waiting for the brown-winged crow to come again.
In the words of our former childhood, "carrying a gun does not meet a bird, and when a bird does not carry a gun", I squatted here for half a day, so I had to give up and go to the yard to accompany my old mother. The eldest brother was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and after a while, the eldest brother called out to me, the bird is coming, you come to see, I hurried to the kitchen door, took a closer look, and found that the brown-winged crow was parked on the wall, looking like it was ready to jump down and drink water in the pond, saw that I was ready to take a picture with the camera, and quickly flew away.
I decided to look outside the wall, at first did not pay attention, and when I walked to the field outside the wall, the sound of popping sounded, and the brown-winged crow that had just jumped off the wall did not go far, but foraged outside, I passed, and flew it, this time I had prepared for it, and quickly took pictures, because this bird is very large, the flight speed is not very fast, so I have the opportunity to capture some relatively clear photos, the following is one of the relatively good photos.
During this time, there is a very dry around, we have a pond in our hometown, this bird will drink water inside, the big brother does not drive it away, but it is not like the bird pond of Baihualing, this bird is still very afraid of people. After the brown-winged crow flew away, the eldest brother told me that this bird often stopped at a red-haired tree in the northeast of his hometown recently, and after a closer look, a pair of brown-winged crows stayed there.
Underneath the vegetable patch of his hometown, a magpie duck appeared, and a cricket was caught on its paws. At the same time, a black capuchin bird with a dark body and a beautiful streamline shape was photographed standing on a tall tsubaki branch on the northeast side of his hometown, like a noble gentleman in a tuxedo, looking around.
Several large walked back and forth on the tile ridge, and the white wagtails jumped around the fence, waiting for the opportunity to jump into the pond to drink water. In recent years, many people in my hometown's village have gone out to work, and not many people have stayed in their hometown to farm. After the eldest brother retired, he returned to his hometown to plant a vegetable garden, cleaned up his hometown very clean and tidy, the vegetable field was also neat, the pond was also very clean, the vegetables were green, and even the birds felt that the ecology here was good.
In the morning when watching birds, I found that there is a large bird similar to a woodpecker in the field near my hometown, which often eats food in its mouth, appears frequently, it looks like it should be feeding young birds, I have always wanted to shoot it, but I always have no chance to capture it, carefully observed this bird, the mouth is very long, it looks a bit like a woodpecker, but from its flying from the field, the woodpecker is impossible to hunt from the field, I guess it is Dai Sheng, before nian lake, I heard friends talk about Dai Sheng this bird, but I have never seen it.
This time, when I saw Dai Sheng, I always wanted to photograph it and enrich my bird species. Morning, noon no chance, in the afternoon, finally have a chance, found a Dai Sheng bird parked on the roof of the neighbor's house, hurry out to take pictures, this time this Dai Sheng did not fly away, in the afternoon, I once again put my head out of the wall to watch, suddenly found that a Dai Sheng in the field outside the wall is concentrating on hunting a frog, did not find that I was observing it, quickly picked up the camera to shoot, because the distance is too close, worried that it flew away, very excited, but not very good shooting. After I clicked for about a few tens of seconds, the Dai Sheng finally realized that I was taking pictures, looked at me doubtfully, and then turned around and flew away.
At about 5 p.m., the birds near my hometown were almost photographed, so I began to photograph flowers and fruits, first photographing a bunch of dendrobium flowers that grew on the mango tree, which had been planted for about 30 years, and then grew so large that I had to cut down some of the trees so that the trees did not exceed the height of the house and maintain a good view. This dendrobium flower, yellow and white, just like porcelain, is very textured, very beautiful, and it is said to be a very good medicinal herb.
The vitality of this old mango tree is very strong, directly sawing off only the stump can also sprout and grow branches, the eldest brother uses the branches grown from these stumps to graft new late ripening mangoes, and now it has hung fruit, green mango buds, emerald green force.
In recent years, the eldest brother has planted a lot of fruit trees in his hometown, there are goat milk fruit trees like agate, these days is the fruit ripening period, each slightly larger than the quail eggs, I picked a few tastes, the taste is sour and sweet, the overall taste is not bad, the only deficiency is that the core is too large, the flesh is not much, it is not very enjoyable to eat. The biggest advantage of this fruit tree is that it is easy to take care of and has a large yield. In the past, when it was less, it could sell for a very high price, but now almost no one buys it. The overall feeling is that it is not very convenient to eat, too few fruits, and it is not conducive to transportation and preservation, and it is difficult to become a high economic value fruit like kiwifruit.
The name of "papaya", different from place to place, this time back to the hometown, in addition to shooting birds, but also specially photographed these two kinds of papaya, now the sour papaya is still in the "green mango period" that has just hung fruit, and "papaya" has a very mature melon, I tiptoed, touched the yellowest of them, picked off a few of them, tried to eat one, may still be due to growing age, taste bud cells degenerate, can no longer eat the taste of childhood.
The eldest brother prepared a very special dinner for us, this morning the smoked bacon bought from Changdi Mountain was cooked and put on the table, smelling a very strong meat aroma, fat and moderate, after cooking the oil also went out a lot, clip a piece in the mouth, Kaz a bit, both feel the greasy of the fat meat, nor feel the wood of the meat, on the contrary, there is a soft and sticky feeling, the rich bacon taste directly hits the taste buds, making people feel endless.
There is also boiled thorn buds to cook broad bean soup, which is a kind of young sprouts growing on the thorn tree, which is much fatter and more tender than Tsubaki, and has a slight bitter taste when eaten, and the combination of thorn buds and broad bean rice is simply a perfect match, and the taste is incomparable. The green vegetables bought by the second sister are said to be sold from the back of Huangcaoling, and the green vegetables grown in the Gaohaibo area are characterized by freshness, no residue, and pure taste. The eldest brother also prepared a sour papaya boiled duck, boiled a pot of very flavorful soup, slightly scooped a small spoonful on the rice, people's appetite, really want to let go and eat a big meal. In front of these specialties, our favorite sausages in the past have also become unattractive supporting roles. My mother was old, she had no teeth, and she could only eat tender vegetables and drink soup.
According to relevant information, the items that can be consumed in a person's life, including the number of times and lifespan of your body parts, are basically constant, and we must properly restrain our desires so that the water can flow for a long time. Some time ago, I listened to zeng guofan's story and told him about his "abstinence, labor saving, and diet saving", which also became my goal of learning and emulating.
The sky began to gradually darken, because today is exactly the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the moonlight at night appears particularly bright and bright, I used a lens of 400 to take a large picture of the moon, due to the good air permeability of the hometown, the large craters on the moon and the convex pits on the edge, clearly visible. The other is a photo taken with high sensitivity, in which the moon is particularly bright, and even coins falling on the ground can be found by the night light.
At night, I had a long exchange with my mother, who although she was older, had a flexible mind and still maintained a strong memory. Ask your mother to record a video, and my mother said very philosophically, "Just tell her, Kong Ming said an inch of time and an inch of gold, an inch of gold is difficult to buy time and an inch of time, if your study time is not easy to learn, time has passed, then there is no time, believe it or not. There are also teachers who do not speak when lecturing on politics, one does not talk to the other, before and after are the same. Be reasonable with people, class teachers, teachers, and principals are equivalent to parents. It is the mother, the parents who gave birth to you, the party, the society, and the people's government that gave birth to you. The old mother's speech was highly recognized by the whole family. My mother also often said to me on the phone: "Work carefully, seriously, respect the leader, don't make mistakes" and so on.
Seeing that the old mother's clothes in the video are a little old, the wife quickly bought some mail for the old mother on the Internet, and the mother just received these on Mother's Day, but the world of the elderly and parents is always very frugal, and they are reluctant to wear new ones.
