Prose of Hengshui Lake in Summer

Pear blossoms in March and peach blossoms in April have fallen. Begonia and Sophora japonica will also be exhausted in May. The azaleas in Nanshan will still bloom in June. The lotus in Hengshui Lake should also be moistened by the spring dew, bathed in the scorching sunshine in summer, and blossomed in breaking the surface, smiling like flowers, attracting tourists from all directions. In this hot summer, like a shy child, it came to the north with a smile and nothing on. The heat makes people unable to escape and have nowhere to hide.

Driving my own car with the air conditioner on, I feel bored. Seats give off much more heat than human bodies. Sitting on it is like sitting on a steamer, which makes you have to twist your body to reduce the unbearable feeling. Light a cigarette and smoke slowly. The smoke is no longer graceful and restrained. The light blue smoke ring is blown to pieces by the cool air discharged from the air conditioner in the car, but it does not lose zhanghua and Rouman, adding some active patterns and atmosphere to the stuffy space. Through the window, the lush leaves on both sides of the road are green, and the branches are scattered with faint fragrance of tree oil in the hot air. The leaves bravely look at the sun and absorb the essence of the sun, which is even more dark green. Every time I see that dark green, I always call it the color of the military soul and the color of life. You will think of the green uniform you wore when you were a soldier. Look at that tall and straight trunk, how like a soldier standing guard with a steel gun! A sense of pride and dignity arises spontaneously.

In the early summer of North China, the heat wave is rolling, and my work makes my heart surge. This sultry heat from the inside out almost suffocates me. I really want to visit Hengshui Lake. I haven't been to the lake for a long time. The temperature there will be much lower than that in the city. I drove directly to Hengshui Lake.

It's the end of May, and the natural scenery of Hengshui Lake has attracted tourists from all over the country. The passing vehicles on the lakeside national highway 106 were scorched by the sun, reflecting dazzling light and passing by in front of their eyes. The men by the lake, some wearing half-sleeved shirts, some wearing big vests, and some simply shirtless, show the masculine beauty of men. The woman with an umbrella is elegant and noble, forming a beautiful scenery by the lake. Little girl's blouse, shorts, miniskirt, or long hair fluttering, or short hair dashing, let your eyes shine, in this hot summer, become a refreshing ice cube in your heart. Boys' liveliness and happiness are always exposed in their innocent faces. From time to time, they picked up stones and threw them into the lake, and the fish that gathered together to play fled everywhere, which caused the adults to exclaim.

Pink lotus blooms in the scorching sun. Dragonflies and butterflies fall on the flowers from time to time, and sometimes stop on the wide lotus leaves, showing the purity, demure and charm of the lotus. At this time, I will think of the poem of Yang Wanli, a poet in the Song Dynasty: "Little lotus flowers only show their sharp horns, and dragonflies have already landed on them", which makes me feel how beautiful the scenery written by the poet used to be. A burst of breeze blows slowly, swaying to make you look clean and intoxicated. Frogs in the reeds by the lake kept jumping around and occasionally chirping, as if protesting that people had disturbed their peace. The wild ducks on the lake are used to the noise of people and play leisurely in the water in pairs. Some are flapping their wings and flying around in the reeds, and they are very busy. Sunlight covered the reeds with silver light. Looking around, the light blue lake water sets off the mighty reeds. Wild ducks fly, can you say the scenery is not beautiful? There are also wild ducks swimming slowly in the distance like long-distance ships, in stark contrast to cruise ships in the lake.

Appreciating the beautiful scenery of Hengshui Lake, I naturally relaxed a lot, but it made me addicted to smoking again. I took out my lighter and lit a cigarette, which was very different from smoking in the car. My carefree heart looked at the light blue sky, and the light blue smoke Ran Ran rose, which was a noble blue, gentle and soft, proud. In the endless vastness, there are fairy-tale heights and mysteries, like the first picture of life drawn by a child on a white paper with a brush in his hand, like the melancholy of a girl in Seeds of Love, like the transparent sheets washed by a beautiful woman in a distant world.

The blue sky, the blue lake and the misty light blue smoke have turned my heart into blue, and I have been reluctant to walk out of this blue world for a long time. If people live in such a world forever, without jealousy, interest disputes and intrigue, how wonderful it would be ..... or maybe without these, there would be no social development and social progress. I have to marvel that with the general improvement of people's living standards, people's desires are also surprisingly high. There are fewer people riding bicycles and motorcycles. During the rush hour, almost all the cars are driving on the road, and the drivers are almost all young people. When I was young, I dared not even think about it. The father has worked hard all his life, and he can only build a few huts for his son to marry his wife. The lack of material leads to people's ideological conservatism. Even if a person with hands and feet tied has great skills, it is rare for you to display them. Think about yourself. Although you have left your post, the force you once held in your heart can finally be released again. With the trust of my friends, I continue to do what I can for the society, and my age also makes me feel a little pressure. I feel that all this came a little late, which made me waste a lot of good time, and I can't help but feel a little sad.

Some people say that there is no motivation without pressure. I believe! Invisible, I also felt the pent-up surge inside. It is like a monster, biting me a little bit, chewing me, and sometimes making me clench my fist quietly. The feeling of pain is beyond words. After the surge, it formed an irresistible force. Is this the second spring? Many times, I will ask myself quietly in the night when the ink is splashing, and I can't give myself an answer. I think of my grandmother beating dates with a stick under the jujube tree, the joy of my mother cooking eggs for me when I was a child, the pain of my father's heartbreak, the pride when I put on my military uniform and my mother's concern for me, and the happiness, loneliness and disappointment that I have to live alone in the old house every spring. My eyes are a little moist. ...

At noon, the lake is still very hot, some tourists are having a picnic on the spot, and my stomach is growling. It's time to go back. After dinner, I went to the factory I built myself, and then I went to the farm. After some efforts, the factory started construction this summer, and the farm has a certain scale this summer. It's still very happy to think about it. My literary club has experienced two years of ups and downs, and now it can move forward smoothly, don't worry. What worries me most is a mother who lives in an adobe house. It's too hot now. I like the coolness and comfort in the bungalow. I'm old. She can have whatever she likes. In late summer and early autumn, let her grandson drive me to Hengshui Lake. There should be mature lotus seeds in the lake at that time. I must be very happy to see the sparkling lake. Let me enjoy the happiness between my grandparents and grandchildren. That scene was my happiest thing this summer.

In the summer, Wan Ru, a weather-beaten old man, was indifferent and generous and threw himself into the arms of Hengshui Lake. After many days of melancholy, the hot and dry days have become indifferent. It's time to go, my career is waiting for me to sail, and my relatives are waiting for me to cherish.

Goodbye, Hengshui Lake.

Wait for me, I will come often!
