Hometown, the road I knew when I was a child.

Every time I go back to my hometown, I have to take a familiar road. This road is particularly profound for me, and it also carries many memories of my childhood. This road is only a few hundred meters long from east to west, but I always thought it was very long when I was young, but in a sense, I was happy to take this road, because it was the only way to the bustling entertainment square, shopping and leisure at that time, and it was fresh in my memory over time.

Although this road is not as prosperous as it was many years ago, it still retains its original appearance. Although the road is not so wide, the plane trees standing on both sides of the road grow tall and big, and the thick trunks support the huge crown, dotted with different scenery in each season.

In summer, the lush canopy is completely isolated from the strong sunshine. In hot summer, there is always a hint of autumn coolness on this road. In the dense leaves, only birds and cicadas can be heard singing happily in the trees, but they can't be seen. Even if it rains, palm-sized buttonwood leaves are like handfuls of green umbrellas, which can resist rain in a short time. It often rains suddenly, and many people hide here.

There are still old people in twos and threes by the roadside who are used to holding fans in their hands. Under the sway, they can help cool down and drive away mosquitoes. In this way, they shook their fans and talked and laughed. On the other side of the road, a group of people are busy and arguing around a chess game. The two players don't know what to do, and often break up in discord. On the contrary, the stalls on both sides seem deserted. Occasionally, people pass by and ask questions, but few people buy what they like.

Autumn rain pours into hot summer. The passionate summer slowly stopped, and the autumn rain looked at the distant figure of Xia girl. The arrival of autumn means the harvest season. Plants continue to produce seeds until the next year to produce new life.

Mid-Autumn Festival, this road highlights her beauty! Originally lush and spectacular, the phoenix tree showed a different kind of scenery during the Mid-Autumn Festival. With the sudden arrival of cold air, the trees are covered with green phoenix leaves, which gradually turn golden yellow. Looking from the other end of the road, the trees are full of golden phoenix leaves, and picturesque autumn is presented.

In late autumn, an autumn wind blew, and the golden phoenix leaves reluctantly waved goodbye to the tree, stumbling down like many yellow butterflies flying in the air and finally falling to the ground. And those buttonwood leaves that fall to the ground are like a golden blanket on the ground. At dusk, the sunset slowly sets in the west, and the fiery red sun reflects the golden phoenix leaves, showing a beautiful golden avenue!

The cold winter is coming.

Whenever goose feather-like snow falls, thick snow covers the roof, ground and frozen soil. Someone walked through the snow, leaving deep micro-eight footprints on the snow, and the clear footprints extended far away.

The hibernating branches are also covered with snow, and the white above contrasts with the gray below. Under the action of low temperature, snow gradually turns into ice, wrapping every branch. This is the real sugar gourd! A string of candied haws was inserted in the trunk, swaying with a cold wind.

The snow on the road was trampled by countless people, and the thick snow gradually formed hard snow ice. At this time, it is a good place for young people and children to play. Put on a down jacket, put on a beautiful scarf, and make a snowman with unmelted snow on the roadside. Some people simply pick up a handful of snow and have a snowball fight. Chasing is very lively. There are also children pulling sledges modified with benches and having fun in the hard snow.

As the ice and snow slowly melt, the warm spring breeze awakens everything, and the earliest awakened willow branches and spores in the distance gradually unfold. Spring girl came quietly, sunny and full of spring, driving away the cold of winter. People take to the streets in different places, enjoying warm sunshine and fresh air. The warm spring breeze carries the faint fragrance of the tender yellow leaves of buttonwood. The twittering birds perched on the plane leaves, and the tender leaves were like everyone's palms, cheering the arrival of spring with the wind. The arrival of spring has increased the vitality of this street and added such a beautiful picture of Confucianism!

I love summer! Summer is as passionate and energetic as a girl.

I praise autumn! Autumn is fruitful, the scenery is pleasant and full of the joy of harvest.

I respect winter! The harsh and cold winter contains the vitality of life, full of confidence and challenges.

I embrace spring! Everything revives in spring, full of hope and future.
