Although summer is coming.

Matsuo Bashō said: "Although summer has come, reed still has only one leaf."

The summer in Decun is very short. It takes about two weeks. It's as hot as home, so it's fuzzy and sunburned. When it rains, it can fall into autumn overnight. Girls' favorite shorts and skirts often have to be replaced with long-sleeved trousers and coats after two days, which is difficult to use. After the summer solstice, the sky is higher and the clouds are lighter. As the saying goes, "fire in July" means "how to arrange the Chinese New Year in the middle of this year".

But it's very long. Because of latitude and daylight saving time, it has a long day. I remember someone in the ticket circle once said, "It's still the evening after the evening", which is very pleasing to me: grab a mat and lean against the window, hum a song to blow the wind, drink a glass of wine or throw a lemon or two pieces of mint into the iced water; The afterglow of the sunset shone obliquely into the room through the trees and windows, and the pots and pans on the shelves were elongated with filters, which was poetic as hell. Sometimes I feel stupid, and it's already half past ten in the evening when I come to my senses. Although no one is a little prince, you can drag two stools to watch the sunset over and over again, but if you like evening, Northern Europe can really consider it.

But for the Arab brothers in the class, the long day is bad news. In Ramadan, I stay up until 9 pm without eating or drinking, and I can only sleep for three hours at night. What should I do during the day? It hurts to think about it.

There are always many good things in summer. On the weekend in early June, I went back to Kun's home in Chicheng, just in time for the summer of Sommerfest at home. In fact, the summer festivals in Decun are very boring. Everyone is holding beer in the palm-sized square with a subwoofer. There are only some expensive sausages and chips in the food stall. They look different, but they taste very different. The two lanes of the five-station subway are crowded and can't walk. The ground is full of unknown liquids and all kinds of garbage. Everything sold in the night market seems to be from Yiwu, Zhejiang, or the unsalable goods left over from the Christmas market years ago. But it happened that men, women and children with yellow hair were immersed in it and enjoyed it. After all, it is not a spectacle that can be seen all over the street after eight o'clock in the evening. Everyone has to run out to see what happened. The sweat, alcohol and fried food peculiar to summer are mixed in the hot air, and the restless air everywhere is filled with the rough romance of straight men and tough guys in the 1980 s western films.

So we followed, chattering excitedly.

Another weekend after coming back, I caught up with the summer festival in Fukumachi. Summer nights in the old city are more classical and subtle than those in the mining-rich Ruhr area. It's still crowded with people. There are all kinds of German jokes hanging on the commercial bridge, and there are many medieval-style stalls beside the running water. It is said that four or five whole pigs are roasted every day. Before zero, everyone went back to Dom to watch the fireworks, which exploded for more than ten minutes. This is a program funded and upgraded by the government. On the way out, I met some younger brothers and asked us how the fireworks were. Everyone said it was too short to watch, and it would take half an hour to blow them up. The other party shouted: half an hour! Come on, this is erfurt!

Roughly speaking, there have been no fewer than three or four Sommerfest, large and small, this summer. Although there is nothing new, I will always look around, which is probably similar to eating ice cream in summer. Even if you don't like sweets at all, you will lick them twice. This is a scene. But when there are no activities on weekends, people will still have some fun to get together for dinner. Probably the most popular activity is barbecue, which hasn't stopped since the barbecue in 9.9 yuan was discounted in early summer. From the initial charcoal burning point to dark, to the skillful fire making, pot making and sauce mixing, how did this solve the problem, only eating meat?

Although summer has come.

Sure enough, life is a rotten plant like a reed. Whether it's cold or hot, staying there is always so lifeless that nothing can be done. This season is so lively and splendid that people are disappointed before it ends. It's not dark yet, and I always feel that the day is not over and there are still many things to do. Compared with the bleak winter when everything lights up after lunch, summer is really cute like seedless watermelon in an air-conditioned room-from summer to the next week at 2 1: 52, when I look up, I see that the outside world has turned into a pure cold color, and there are rustling insects outside the window.

"If the tumbler falls, let's call it a day."

"Somehow, it's a little lonely."
