Today is the beginning of winter. How cold is it in your home?

The land of Qilu has just begun winter, and it is not that cold yet. The temperature is not even below zero, the snowflakes have not fallen, the leaves have not completely fallen, and I, who often go out, have not yet felt the coldness of winter.

The deepest feeling is staying at home, which is also the most difficult period before heating. I put on the "Mama brand" cotton clothes and pants early, bloated like a pregnant woman, and felt as warm as spring.

Even though I was covered with a thick quilt at night, it could not withstand the 36-degree body temperature, until I squeezed my "roommate" under the bed.

The Ginkgo leaves on the ground are so beautiful that they can’t withstand the swing of a sanitation worker’s big broom. The once fruitful pomegranate tree outside the window has long since matured and fallen, leaving only a few yellow leaves swaying in the cold wind.

My little Hei became a mother in this cold early winter. Instead of staying in the small nest I built for her, I found a warm nook and hugged her two babies every night. , but never felt cold.

The box of greens I tinkered with is on the balcony, and I feel like they are afraid of the cold. Every night I cover it with a grass quilt to keep it warm, so it won’t get frozen, so even in winter , and it’s still green.

The vegetables my father planted are still growing tenaciously in the small open space outside the wall. The leeks have crawled on the ground and entered the hibernation period. But it is still on our table.

Looking around, the rural fields are still beautiful, and wheat covers the earth with a green carpet.

There are still small flowers blooming tenaciously in the grass.

I would accidentally find sweet wild fruits outside the wall of my uncle’s house. I would pick a few without washing them, raise my head and put them in my mouth, and my heart would be filled with warm memories of my childhood.

The beginning of winter is here, and it is easier to cherish and feel the warmth.
