Spring feelings

This spring presents the scenery of the four seasons. The New Year has just passed, and the temperature of 28 degrees makes people think that summer is coming early. On the day of the Waking of Insects, the wind started blowing and it started raining. People sat poetically listening to the rain by the window, and worried that the flowers that had just bloomed would wither. After the rain, the sky clears up, the warm sun returns, and peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, and magnolias compete for beauty. From time to time, there will be cool autumn weather, and there will be chills from time to time. Many people turn off and on the heating.

A rain is the best, the wheat needs it, and the shepherd's purse in the ground is also waiting for the rain to nourish it. When you eat dumplings filled with shepherd's purse, you will smell the tangy fragrance. That is the taste of spring. It makes people mistakenly think that they are eating spring bite by bite.

The weather is becoming more and more changeable, the rain has not come, and the largest sandstorm in more than ten years has swept the north, especially Beijing. Friends in Beijing posted pictures in the circle, saying they were magical realism. Some people say that when the sandstorm comes, Beijing will be like returning to the Northern Song Dynasty. Yes, the world of the metropolis instantly becomes like a yellowed film, making people doubt the reality of reality.

In the afternoon, the sky in the small town began to become hazy, and the wind blew from the north, scattering the dust floating in the air onto the small town. The wind is not strong, but it is as cool as rain.

We agreed to dig wild vegetables, but we won’t stop because of this weather. The three invited friends met at the meeting place. We headed north along Jiaoxiang Street. There was a large patch of shepherd's purse in a field I visited last year; there should be many more growing this year.

Long green willow threads were fluttering on both sides of the road. Zi Xin, who was going with me, asked me: Why do they look greener and longer than the willow trees in the city? I couldn't think of a reason, so I replied casually: The more the trees on both sides of the road are favored by the spring breeze, the longer their love will last.

The green silk is tugging in the North Lake, and the weeping willows around it are floating like strands of silk thread; there is a peach blossom forest on the shore, and the petals are projected into the lake, which is the embellishment on the green silk.

Xiao Lu forgot his mission and took photos one after another by the lake, willows, peach blossoms and plum blossom bushes. I urged them both to hurry up and get to their destination. Zi Xin said, I don’t mainly dig wild vegetables, I just come to enjoy the scenery. Xiao Lu agreed, yes, exactly.

"Have you never seen these? There are flowers and willows everywhere in the city!" Lao Zhao, who went with him, asked Zi Xin.

Zi Xin said, although it is on the edge of the city, I have never been there once. I spend my irreplaceable youth working on the front line from day to night; I really didn’t know that the scenery outside the city was so beautiful!

I rode ahead and reached the land first.

I was stunned. Why did that piece of white land turn into a wheat field? It was originally a cotton-growing plot. When there was no cultivation in the spring, it was just a white field. Lao Zhao arrived shortly afterwards, with a look of disappointment on his face just like me.

Zi Xin and Xiao Lu were not angry at all. Zi Xin took the two newly bought small shovels and rubbed them together. Zi Xin said, let’s not dig anymore and go to the water system around the city!

Beside the path leading to the water system, there is a small plot of land planted with spinach and coriander. They are not tall, but they are green and strong. Zi Xin looked at me and said, if you can’t find any wild vegetables, just pick up two handfuls of spinach and coriander!

I laughed and wanted to eat spinach. There are a lot of them on the street, and they cost a lot for two yuan. Xiao Lu said to me, I am joking with you, but I took it seriously.

You can’t go home empty-handed and just keep walking along the embankment of the river system. Lao Zhao and I are in the front, and Zi Xin and Xiao Lu are in the back. After walking down the embankment, we came to a small roadside. There were quite a few shepherd's purses, which made me feel refreshed. He hurriedly took out his shovel and dug out the shepherd's purse one by one among the grass. The shepherd's purse has not yet bloomed with white flowers, so it is neither old nor tender. Lao Zhao also got out of the car and shoveled on the side of the road. Zi Xin and Xiao Lu were not interested and stood aside playing with their mobile phones. Zi Xin said, please tell me how to eat it.

While shoveling, I introduced to them that there are at least three ways to eat shepherd’s purse: one is cold salad, which is to blanch it in boiling water, mince it, and eat it with garlic paste; To make steamed vegetables, just follow the steps of other steamed vegetables; third, and the best way to eat it, is to make shepherd's purse dumplings.

Zi Xin said, is that delicious? Does it have a bitter taste?

No, no. Lao Zhao interrupted her and said that it was more delicious than any dumplings with fillings, including beef, green onions, leeks, eggs, etc.

Remember, when making dumpling fillings, never blanch them in boiling water, do not add any condiments except shredded ginger, and the meat should not be too thin. I added.

Xiao Lu looked at the two of us as if he didn’t believe it. I saw Xiao Lu looking greedy.

Zi Xin was still not moved. She and Xiao Lu continued to push the car. She shouted, "Let's go to the front and look for you first!"

After a while, my bag was full. Lao Zhao couldn't help but post on Moments.

Zixin and Xiaolu didn’t even dig a shepherd’s purse, so they waited for us on a high ground early. Zi Xin was wearing a blue windbreaker, and Xiao Lu was wearing a red windbreaker. The wind blew their windbreakers loudly.

There is a small forest in the south of the highland, full of sparrows. It looks like the old leaves have not fallen off. Xiao Lu was naughty, and Zi Xin followed the excitement, shouting and driving away the large group of sparrows. The sparrows flew like a gust of wind. They flew to the nearby bridge together, appearing densely packed. Zi Xin was in a mood for poetry, but she couldn't remember the verses, so she could only roar, and then said, "Why is it so good!"

Just at this moment, a train came from north to south on the Hanhuang Railway more than 20 meters away. Zixin shouted, what a coincidence, I met the train here, this is It’s the first time I’ve seen it! I told her that she was used to passing more than ten columns a day.

The color of the sky is becoming more and more yellow, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and we are ready to return. It was a smooth journey, and when we arrived at the east end of Renmin Road, Zixin asked blankly, where were we? Lao Zhao and I laughed, laughing that she was really a frog in the well. Zi Xin changed a line of lyrics and sang: The spring breeze blew me away, tell me where this is?

We laughed and said that the spring breeze blurred her eyes.

Zi Xin looked at my bag full of shepherd’s purse and said, “It’s a full harvest today!”

Xiao Lu said, I have also gained something, harvested the spring breeze.

Zi Xin was not to be outdone: I gained a lot of energy and had a spring-like mood.

I asked Lao Zhao again, what was your gain?

Lao Zhao thought about it and said, I have harvested shepherd’s purse, spring breeze, and a good mood.

Zi Xin, Xiao Lu and I gave a thumbs up and praised Lao Zhao for his comprehensive summary.

When we were about to break up, I gave the shepherd’s purse I dug to Zi Xin, and Lao Zhao gave the shepherd’s purse to Xiao Lu. They were a little excited and said how could this be done, how could this be done, it was so embarrassing. Everyone looked at each other and smiled.

This smile is very appropriate in spring.
