"Cucumber and lettuce are both suitable, when they are on the market in April." Early summer is a good time for cucumber to blossom and bear fruit. In the morning, I went to work in the vegetable field, but I saw that the cucumbers on the roadside were flourishing, the green vines were covered with brackets, and the golden flowers were bright and bright, dotted among the green leaves and vines, which was pleasing to the eye. Golden flowers sway from side to side in the breeze, as if nodding and smiling, and the moon-like curved fruit is crisp and attractive, which makes people drool. It's like crossing decades ago.
When I was in primary school, I had to walk two or three miles of field trails every day to get to school. Several vegetable gardens that passed by were covered with green cucumbers, which became a paradise for friends to satisfy their gluttony. Can't wait until the cucumber is ripe.
Stealing cucumbers seems simple, but it's actually a technical job. The first is to mobilize everyone to observe the surrounding fields and see if there are any adults working nearby. When no one is around, it is the best time to start. In order to avoid the suspicion of adults, most of the students moved on, leaving one or two fast-moving, quickly drilling into the Gua Tian, hiding in the leafy vines, picking a few cucumbers in three times five divided by two, and eagerly catching up with the front team.
Confucius said that stealing books is not stealing. Children shouldn't steal a melon to satisfy their desire. Picking other people's cucumbers is always guilty, and it is too late to choose, and it is impossible to control the size of cucumbers. If you choose a few, you'll have to run. Otherwise, if someone catches you and reports to the teacher, you will be criticized. Then rub the cucumber on the clothes a few times and break it into small pieces. While sharing the spoils, everyone hummed a little song and strutted happily on the way to school.
Some cucumbers are immature, some melons are bitter, but the friends also eat them with relish.
There is a saying in a dream of red mansions, "A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a prostitute, a prostitute is not as good as a thief, and a thief is not as good as a thief." It's a little biased, but it also makes some sense. Children steal melons, not only to satisfy their appetite, but also to find excitement, which is a kind of fun.
As the saying goes, if you are passionate and lustful, you will steal your heart if you are hungry and cold. Nowadays, life is rich in material things, and children are not brought up as extensively as in the past. Don't say that vegetable fields steal vegetables. Some children are fed to their mouths, and he is too lazy to talk.
The environment is changing, so are adults and children. Today's children are not the pride of their elders. I have to pick up and drop off at school, and I like to eat barbecue and spicy strips. Children are not interested in fruits bred naturally.
The city is like this, and so is the countryside. No more children stealing fruits and vegetables in vegetable fields, such a beautiful scenery. Back to my hometown, the trees behind my house are often covered with oranges and grapefruit from Huang Chengcheng, but no one cares about them for a long time. It's a pity that golden fruits are scattered all over the floor.
Now cucumbers are not as rare as described by Lu You. With the development of greenhouse vegetables, people can eat fresh and delicious cucumbers all year round. But my feeling is that cucumbers grown according to natural laws will taste better.
Cucumber belongs to Cucurbitaceae, an annual creeping and climbing herb. Cucumber is rich in nutrients, such as protein, sugar and various vitamins. Has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, strengthening brain, calming nerves, lowering blood sugar, losing weight and caring skin.
Cucumber can be eaten raw, juiced, fried and cold. It is a delicious food for patients with hypertension and diabetes, and it is also a natural beauty product.
When you are young, who will consider beauty in the face of material shortage? Filling your stomach is the greatest happiness.
"The children came back from school early, and they were busy flying kites in the east wind." I am no longer the ignorant boy who stole melons. I can follow the footsteps of my dreams when I was young, but I never stop!
