In my hometown, the pine tree is a very common and ordinary tree, but it is also a tree that is very easy to see and love, just as amiable and respectable as my relatives, relatives and friends, and teachers.
The pine trees come with my childhood memories. One day in the summer when I was about five or six years old, I went into the distant mountains for the first time to herd cattle with my father, and the destination was called Old Man's Mountain. Seven or eight miles away from the village, the woods are dense, the grass is green, and the mountains are long, which makes people afraid and curious. Oak trees, cedar trees, winter melon trees, tangtang pear trees, torch fruit trees and some unknown trees, densely packed and strangely shaped, make the mountain have a sense of mystery, and one day pestering my father to ask the name of the tree. One of them was a tree with a fluffy crown, brownish-gray bark, irregular scales, needle-shaped, slender bunches of leaves, and conical or ovate fruits, which I particularly liked. Sitting under the tree, there is a fragrance, my father said that it is called a pine tree, the whole body is a treasure, I seem to understand it, but it is like love at first sight, I can't help but like it. I remember that I also climbed a crooked old pine tree to look out, only to see mountains and mountains, trees and trees, and under the sunset, the smoke of cooking in the distance was faintly floating......
When I was in elementary school, the teacher taught and sang the children's song "Little Pine Tree Grows Up": "The little pine tree is growing up quickly, the green leaves are new branches and buds, and the sunshine and rain and dew nurture its ......."I followed aloud, and my heart was extremely happy, as if my name was "Pine", as if the pine tree was right in front of me. On weekends and holidays, accompany parents to herd cattle, see the pine tree as if you have seen relatives and friends who have been absent for a long time, sit down with pine feathers, climb up the pine tree to see, sometimes go home and sort out a small bundle of dry pine branches to carry, if you encounter the roots of the white yellow and white rosin as happy as the New Year, because it can be handed over to the acquisition station, let it become a small book, homework book. After school in the evening, sometimes I carry a bamboo basket and ask my female classmates to go to the back of the village to pick pine cones for fire, or dry pine feathers to "make beds" for pigs and chickens, and sometimes I ask male classmates to pick firewood from afar, I like to pick pine firewood the most. Parents praise for being sensible. Especially in winter, a large family of people around the fire pond to bake the fire, burning pine cones, branches, sweet potatoes and artichokes buried in the ashes, the fragrance fills the house, the red fire is printed with smiling faces, and they are happy.
In the first month of the hometown, there is a Xi of mating pine hair, that is, a piece of green pine hair is set aside in the hall house for sitting and eating, and children playing. Yes, it is time for the peasants who wear the stars and the moon, get up early and are greedy for darkness, and enjoy the blessings of natural "Simmons". In my memory, my mother also used green pine hair to keep the bait baba fresh and boil liquor, so that the whole family's New Year's flavor was fragrant for a long time.
As I grew older and more knowledgeable, my love for pine trees grew. Especially when I heard that a poor child surnamed Wang in the adjacent lime kiln village studied diligently and was admitted to the normal school by cutting pine seeds and burning them as lamps, I not only took Brother Wang as an example, but also loved and loved pine trees. My family of seven is old, young and old, only my parents work hard, and the conditions are not good, but there are kerosene lamps for lighting, and I already have electric lights when I go to school. Since hearing the story of Brother Wang and the pine tree, I have studied more diligently, and my grades have been getting better and better year by year, and I have been rated as a good student for three years in junior high school, and after graduation, I was successfully admitted to Brother Wang's alma mater, Kunming Normal School. After graduating, I worked in my hometown, he taught biology and I taught Chinese, but not in the same school. Every time I see him, I affectionately call him Brother Wang.
After graduating from the teacher's school, he went to teach in a small mountain village called Tsui Mili, surrounded by pine trees, and when he opened his eyes every day, he saw pine trees, which were full of green all year round, which doubled his strength and confidence. Yes, thirty years have passed, looking back, I seem to see the infatuation of sitting under the pine tree after dinner to read extracurricular books and read correspondence textbooks, as if I heard the laughter of fighting with students in the pine forest in the snow, and as if I returned to the classroom to tell students the ancient poem "The Hermit is Not Met" "Panasonic asked the boy, and the teacher collected medicine to .......""Teach students to sing "Little Pine Tree Grows Up" and "Revolutionaries Are Always Young" ......I remember that one of the floor slabs of my house was a pine board that I bought from a farmer's house, and a bookshelf that I still use now was made of pine wood by a carpenter at that time, I still remember going to the mountains and forests with my students to pick up fungus seeds, I remember the fragrant pine nuts that the students gave me to eat many times, and I remember the first night when I left the mountain village primary school to teach in a middle school and cried in ......the pine forest three years later
As a Chinese teacher, as a lover of literature, pine trees often appear in my books and on my mouth, and my heart is bright when I look at it, and I say that it is full of joy. More than 2,000 years ago, the ancestor Confucius said: "The year is cold, and then the pine and cypress are withered." "I told the students that it was a famous sentence and memorized it. The college entrance examination is a common idiom used in Xi, and "three friends of the year and cold" must be among them. In the eyes of "poet immortal" Li Bai, the pine tree is a gentleman: "May you grow pine, be careful not to be a peach and plum." If you are aggrieved and do not change your mind, then you will know the gentleman. In the heart of "Poetry Buddha" Wang Wei, the pine tree is a master: "I have been writing books for many years behind closed doors, and I have planted pines as old dragon scales." Qing Dynasty essayist Yao Nai praised the pine tree in "The Story of Mount Tai" for being simple and subtle: "There are few miscellaneous trees, more pines, raw stones, and all have flat tops." The military strategist ** Marshal praised the pine tree, which can be described as straightforward and loud: "The heavy snow presses the green pine, and the green pine is straight and straight." You must know that the pine is high and clean, and stay until the snow melts. In the pen of another revolutionary, Tao Zhu, "the wind cannot blow it down, the flood cannot submerge it, the cold and freeze it will not kill it, and the drought and drought will not destroy it", and the pine tree is the embodiment of the Communists: "Ask for little from people, give much to people." ”
I usually like to read some books on plants, and I praise again and again that "pine trees are treasures": the wood is good and can be used for construction, agricultural tools, papermaking and man-made fibersThe powder processed from pine needles contains more than 40 kinds of nutrients necessary for the growth of livestock and poultry, and the refined oil has been widely used in soap, toothpaste, biscuits and other productsPine pollen is a precious natural high-grade nutritional food raw material, Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" recorded "moistening the heart and lungs, invigorating qi, removing wind and stopping bleeding" and other medicinal effects;Rosin and turpentine are important industrial raw materials;Pine seeds are ...... raw materials for sweets, sweets, and sake
During the summer vacation, I once went to the halfway street with a group of like-minded literary friends to pick up fungus, the mountains Cui Wei, the pine trees occupy the main position, gently pick up the pine hair under the tree, milk pulp mushrooms, grain ripe mushrooms, lime mushrooms will shine out, as if "a thousand calls come out". The sound of screams, talks, singing, and birdsong make the mountains and forests lively. Working in a small town, busy, no time to go to the countryside, long gone, my dear pine!"A long drought and a rainy day" and "a foreign country meets an old acquaintance", this is really the feeling!Wandering in the pine forest, breathing the fragrant air, looking for delicious mushrooms, looking at the pine trees big or small, straight or crooked, strong or old, the troubles of life and the fatigue of running disappeared, as if the passing youth had returned to ......
Not long ago, I had tea with a few literati, and a judge said: "When you are in a bad mood, go for a walk in the pine forest, and it will get better." "Honestly, "Weisi people, who am I with?""I smiled knowingly, "If I listen to the fairy music ear for a while", I will hurry up and serve the cigarette and tea!Yes, when you walk through the pine forest, breathe in the fragrant air, the eyes are full of greenery, especially when you see the pine trees growing peacefully on the edge of the cliff, you will be moved and relieved.
When people reach middle age, they like to reminisce about their childhood. There are two things that I remember about the pine tree vividly: one is that when I was four or five years old, my father was seriously ill and could not work, and he was idle at home, and the whole family had no laughter, and the gloom was shrouded, and the sky was about to fall. One day I heard about a home remedy - soaked pine buds with children's urine to drink, my mother immediately ran to pick the tender pine buds, panting and came home and told me to pee quickly, and my father drank it happily and shylyLater, my father's illness miraculously cured, and the whole family had a red sun and laughter, of course, it was not necessarily the home remedies that worked, because the large bags of Chinese medicine were piled up on the table. The second is that grandma likes to raise hens that lay eggs, and uses dry pine feathers to change the bed for chickens every day, and the chickens also listen to her and work hard to lay eggs, so that grandma smiles every day. In the winter of 1988, my grandmother died and was buried in a green pine forest. Maybe it's far away from the village, thirty years have passed, and many green hills have become bare, and grandma's cemetery is as green as ever, and the green pine race is long. I think that my grandmother who is far away in heaven is happy, but I don't know if she still raises chickens
Think about it day and dream night night. "Last night, I dreamed of talking to an old pine tree. I asked, "Uncle Song, why doesn't your family live in the city and in the dam, but settle in the mountains?"The old pine tree replied with a smile: "The mountain air is good!".To be honest with you, we have a big shortcoming - there are many loose hairs, and we pollute the environment!I then asked "the secret of health and longevity", and Uncle Song stopped talking, but before he could answer, he woke up from a dream, and woke up with tears in his eyes, and thought of his parents, who were still self-supporting in the countryside and were over eighty years old: they got up before dawn, dug in the land all year round, and in winter their hands and feet were cracked like old pine bark. They are reluctant to spend some money during the New Year's holidays, and when they buy a house and a car, they will send it with interest and a lot of leeway. A few days ago, my parents came to the county seat for the Spring Festival, and I said, "When you are old, don't plant the fields."Cooking rice with electricity and liquefied gas, don't go up the mountain to find firewood. They smiled: "While you can afford to move, I will lighten the burden for you." "I lived for half a month, I couldn't keep it, I couldn't say I was Xi used to it, I went back to the countryside, and I couldn't let go of the ...... of "one acre and three points of land".Oh, I see, it turns out that Uncle Song didn't answer me in the dream, he asked me to ask my parents!Uncle Song is trying to say, "Your parents are not old pine"?I thought, yes.
A few years ago, I saw a beautiful article "Teacher Song" in the "Selected Prose Magazine", and I felt the same and admired it. The pine tree in the writer's pen endures humiliation, is strong and noble, unswerving, obscure, has no regrets, selfless dedication, and is very good!Nowadays, the word "pro" is flying all over the sky, and I casually call the pine tree "dear", you can know that it is really from the heart!
