At noon, the snow began to fall intermittently, and pedestrians on the street opened their umbrellas for a while, and then stopped beating again. In the evening, the snowflakes gradually float lightly, and the dense turns hit the red lanterns to welcome the new year, like countless moths fluttering on the lanterns in summer.
When I came out of a friend's house, my car was covered with a layer of abrupt and uneven ice like a hard shell, and I couldn't shovel it off after so much effort, it turned out that it was freezing rain during the day.
From the day before the rain festival to the day, the yellow dust filled the city of Xi'an like smoke, which can be said: "The dust and smoke are close but there is nothing." "Dust and smoke can be seen drifting between the buildings not far away, eagles and falcons circling in the dusk at a height of several hundred meters, people choking on the air as they walk, and floating dust falling on my blue cashmere coat. Legend has it that the rain solar term is the birthday of the Jade Emperor, and on this day he will hold the "Shangjiuhui." Folk song cloud: "Go to nine on nine, live to ninety-nine." "Is it not good for the Jade Emperor's birthday this year, his face is ugly and threatening, and the sky is dark.
People always look forward to the rainy season: "Good rain knows the season, when spring happens." "Who knew that it was like yellow dust, the sky was dark, and the cold wind was swishing! It can be seen that things in the world are always changing, and they are not subject to human will. However, the winter has passed, and the sound of the wild geese has spread the news, is it still far away to move a mountain of spring?
As soon as I opened the window this morning, a cold wind mixed with snowflakes poured in, and I shivered, and looked into the distance to see that this morning was a world covered in silver again.
The snow was still drifting sporadically outside the window, but I felt that the snow was at the end of its power. Magpies chirped among the rows of yellow treetops of the tall metasequoia trees, and the snow hanging from the branches was like the unharvested cotton on the stalks of the autumn harvest and spitting white cotton wool on the open shells. The car downstairs was covered with a layer of snow as thick as a quilt, and the road had been stepped on by the early workers to reveal a faint black, and the gray-brown plush buds of the magnolia trees were gradually blooming.
I thought to myself, "It's raining, and there won't be more snow to fall on, so it's time to enjoy the last snow of the year!" ”
In the past, the green osmanthus tree, privet tree, magnolia tree, loquat tree has been dressed by last night's snowflakes on the jade tree Qionghua, a few locks of high ** paulownia tree thick branches of the snow falling like a bodybuilder is not afraid of the cold in the muscles, a few places of bamboo in the snow white and green more lined with vitality, those deciduous trees on the withered yellow branches of the snow yellow and white like spring flowers.
There are many children in several places in the courtyard of the community who ignore the wind and snow and pull adults to play with snowmen and snowball fights, the youngest is three or two years old, and the oldest is ten years old. It's almost noon, and the parents keep urging the children to play with relish and reluctant to go, and they seem to want to sculpt the spring of the fairy tale world in their hearts with their immature little hands.
In the cold wind, the partridges cooed high and low in the cold wind, the unknown birds chirped and flew by, and the sparrows squeaked a few times and foraged on the branches. The birds are hungry on a snowy day, but their cries at this time of year sound cheerful, as if to say, "Isn't it spring to survive the wind and snow for a few more days?" ”
A thick layer of snow also fell on the sculpture of the child beating the waist and advocating the suo, and at this time they seemed to be wearing a northern Shaanxi lamb wool shoulder, and in the wind and snow, they were beating the waist and puffing the lock to be more sonorous. On the rockery behind them, a yellow flame-like flower was blown out by the cold wind, and I took a closer look, and it turned out that the spring flowers had quietly bloomed in the ice and snow. The sound of the waist drum and suona seems to summon spring back early.
There were a few papaya and begonia trees on the edge of the community square, and a lot of snow had fallen on their branches, and I found that there were already granular red buds between the ice and snow, and one or two small shoots had emerged from the dry branches. I remember that after February 20 every year, the magnolia and begonia flowers in the yard are the earliest, and I always run under the tree to take a good look at their beauty a few times. At this time this year, the sand weather, ice and snow continue to counterattack, and the flowers that bloom early in the yard have been suppressed and have not been able to bloom for a long time. But look at the buds on the begonia tree full of branches like sparks, like a piece of dynamite primer will eventually melt the ice and snow, and will eventually ignite a thousand purple and red spring.
The red lanterns in the community to welcome the New Year were beaten white by the wind and snow, which seemed to pour cold water on the hearts of the people who welcomed the New Year. The Chinese Chinese New Year hanging red lanterns means that the new year will be prosperous, the fiery red lanterns are like people's fiery hearts, and ice and snow cannot stop people from embracing the fiery passion of spring.
According to the proverb: "The snow lights up on the fifteenth day of the first month, and the clouds cover the moon on the fifteenth day of the eighth month." "Before the fifteenth day of the first month, the scope of snow in the country is relatively large, the snow has broken through the Qinling Jianghuai line, the snowflakes in the sky are still falling, it is foreseeable that the snow will be lit up when people enjoy the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first month, and it is also foreseeable that this year's rain will be more than in previous years?
The snow of this year's Spring Festival is as Han Yushi wrote: "The snow is too late in spring, so it wears the garden trees as flying flowers." ”
At this time, there are gongs and drums on the street, which is people parading in the spring fire, they throw off their arms regardless of the wind and snow and call for the arrival of spring with the sound of gongs and drums like a mountain.
After all, the rain is in season, and it will be a few days later: "Xiao looks at the red wet place, and the flowers are heavy in the official city." ”
