In summer, the endless lotus leaves of Xuanwu Lake suddenly touched me a lot. Grandma's faint smile gradually emerged in front of my eyes.
The yard in my hometown is not big, but I plant a jar of lotus flowers every year. Grandma especially likes lotus flowers, and her dedication to lotus flowers is even more surprising. The river mud is hired to pick, and she has to grab a handful to see its color, just like looking at food. The lotus roots planted in the second year have already been selected, and my grandmother planted them one by one, making her hands muddy to her elbows. When the small lotus leaves are about to sprout, grandma will keep the lotus leaves away from the children, saying that the hot air exhaled by people will make the leaves wither. The small lotus leaf has finally grown. It is too small, too small, and the children don't care. Grandma looked at the lotus leaf, but looked at her newborn grandson.
Summer has come, and the real long lotus leaves spread gracefully. It's very hot at this time, and the door is open all day, so someone probes to enjoy the unique scenery of my home. Grandma often enjoys the cool at the door. When she saw someone praising her lotus leaf, she let them in, made tea and invited people to enjoy it while drinking.
One day, a young mother looked around the door with a child in her arms. Her grandmother invited her again, but the woman held her hand and said a word. Grandma didn't notice that the child had a sore. She sucked air as if she were suffering for the little girl. After watching for a while, she came to her senses, quickly took a pair of scissors, went to the shower head, and "clicked" and cut off the biggest lotus leaf. It turns out that women come to ask for lotus leaves, and children's Chinese medicine should use fresh lotus leaves.
Lotus leaf is a cool thing in summer. Grandma used to share a few cigarettes every year to make tea for her neighbors. Old neighbors can't drink lotus leaf tea this year. Every few days, a lotus leaf will be cut for the child, and there will be fewer and fewer lotus leaves in the lotus jar. However, the child's sore is getting better every day.
Unfortunately, there are good lotus leaves at home. If you cut it like this, you won't want to see it this year. Grandma murmured: "It's really a matter of Xiang Jiang, and the chill makes the summer heat disappear." . Lotus leaves are of great use. Don't open them.
Seeing this pool of lotus leaves now is like seeing a cool pool. If grandma has the coolness of this pool, she will happily give it to many people.
