I followed the lens of my mother's mobile phone and looked at the pot of camellia.
In the cold winter, camellia is in full bloom, and safflower gives people a direct impact on the senses.
I observed camellia carefully. The buds began to bloom in the lush green branches and leaves. The most blooming flower, the heart-shaped petals are layered, reflecting the yellow stamens in the petals, like a slim and beautiful little girl smiling at me! Luo Luo, like a breeze, blew a faint fragrance into my nose. They have different postures and are particularly delicate and charming. Some are in bud like newborn babies, light and green; Some are in full bloom, the buds are fresh and lovely, and the whole branches are densely packed; And those green branches are quietly hidden under the blooming flowers, smoking buds and gestating new life.
Yes, what a surprise! On weekdays, my mother is busy with trivial matters of life, paying little attention to them and having no leisure time to take care of them. It looks ordinary, packed in a simple small pottery basin, with several thick green leaves pestle on a small brown stem; I was also pushed into the corner by a bunch of farmers on the balcony, still alive.
I gave this camellia to her on Mother's Day this year. I know she likes flowers, so I picked one online and sent it. Mother was naturally very happy when she received the flowers, even though it was only a small and ugly plant at that time. I told my mother that these flowers are easy to raise, so you don't have to worry. She is not afraid of the cold. Mom can't take care of these when she is busy. When she thinks about it, water her once. It drinks quietly every time. A month has passed, two months have passed and half a year has passed. It survived the heat, but it didn't die, and even had beautiful flowers. In the vast sky, the red waves suddenly surge and fluctuate, which is very beautiful.
The twelfth lunar month is the coldest time of the year. The weather is getting colder and colder, flowers are dying, and many flowers and plants, like most animals, have begun their journey of hibernation, waiting for the arrival of next spring in a deep sleep. In the middle of winter, there are still some plants blooming alone in the cold, and the only one that can compete with plum blossoms in cold tolerance is camellia. It is still breathtaking, like a cloud steaming Xia Wei, but a little more unyielding and proud.
Camellia in memory blooms in the dead of winter, so it is called "anti-winter". Every year in the season of deep winter and shallow spring, the cold wind is bleak, the frost and fog are infiltrating the camellia, and the bright camellia is lush and dazzling. Camellia, red as fire and white as snow, is rich in Leng Yan, dignified and elegant, and its flowers are rare. Camellia, with a long flowering period, belongs to the cold season and can span the whole winter. It is one of the top ten traditional famous flowers in China. It not only adds pleasant colors to the cold earth, but also brings vitality and hope to people, so it has been loved by people for thousands of years.
Scholars in history like to endow plants with human temperament and character. Camellia has always been favored by many literati. Su Shi, a poet, spared no effort to love and praise Camellia. "Camellia relative species, drizzle is not alone. It's like Jun Jun can't, rotten red like fire in the snow. " Described the cold weather, cold camellia. When the poet came in this rainy and snowy weather, it was deserted here, and only camellia warmly greeted him. What language is used to describe it? Gorgeous camellia is as red as fire, blooming brilliantly in the snow, drizzling, and snow and ice are all white, which makes camellia more fiery and gorgeous. It is not only dazzling in beauty, but also fearless in character, which instantly ignited the poet's inner enthusiasm.
Throughout the ages, many painters also like to write camellias in "vermilion color", either meticulous or freehand. There are many kinds of camellias in their works, which are lifelike and more like Mo Yun.
A few days ago, I saw the flower language of camellia on the Internet: natural beauty, modesty, purity and great charm. This gorgeous language is just what I want. I tasted them one by one, and they really fit. Camellia is not only soothing and calm, full of elegance, but also arrogant and unyielding. At the moment, it reminds me of my childhood playmate Camellia.
Camellia is a simple girl with bright eyes and white teeth who grew up in my village. According to my mother, she is married now, has a pair of children, and runs a chain tea shop in the county with her husband. Business in this shop is booming every day. Camellia in karma has experienced ups and downs since childhood.
People who don't know will think that she must have received a good education, learned management experience and a well-off family. Who knows that she was born in poverty. My father loves drinking too much. He prefers boys to girls. Mother is an epileptic (commonly known as epilepsy). I didn't know much about epilepsy when I was a child. All I know is that if I don't get sick, I will twitch, foam at the mouth, hit people and bite people. In this way, the mother gave birth to three children, camellia as the eldest daughter, second sister Xiaolian and younger brother Bao Er.
I remember that autumn, the sky was high and the clouds were light. In the field, corn stands tall and straight, with red tassels, like rows of mighty guards. Camellia mother went to the field to break corncob, fell ill and plunged into the canal beside the field and drowned. The death of Camellia's mother made this poor family worse. Because there are not enough people at home, plus taking care of siblings. Camellia, at an early age, had to drop out of school, pick up a rake and hoe, and work with her father in the sunny weather. When she reaches the age of 18, her father will recruit a son-in-law, who is a big mute 10 years older than her. When she learned that, she ran to her mother's grave and cried all night. She woke up, unwilling to be at the mercy of fate, and decided to go on a hunger strike to resist the marriage.
The aunts and uncles in the village came to persuade her that it is rare for someone not to dislike your poverty, and two younger brothers and sisters are dragging their feet. It's rare for someone to marry you. Besides, they are cobblers and hungry craftsmen. You followed her, and Tian at home helped. What a nice kiss. Why not be shameless? You won't have this shop after this village. Father also told her mainly for the first time, insisting that she agree.
Who knows that she gnashed her teeth and chopped off her feet. I packed my bags and left home overnight, from one city to another. She did all the dirty work to survive. She went to a small workshop to weave bamboo mats and served dishes and washed dishes in a small restaurant. She is smart, sweet and studious, and has accumulated a lot of experience while working in a restaurant. Later, she found a small facade, starting with a cup of milk tea and a snack, and finally owned her own milk tea chain. During this period, she taught herself junior high school and senior high school courses, also taught herself junior college courses, and met her husband who taught herself the exam together. She said she couldn't choose her looks and origins, but her fate was in her own hands. How to go and how far to go is up to her.
"Only camellia is extremely durable and can only occupy the spring breeze in the deep moon." As far as camellia is concerned, its flowering period will never change because of people's neglect. The wind has faith, flowers can't be wrong, and years can't be negative.
There is ice and snow, and camellias witness it one by one. Standing in a slim room, the years have come and gone, and after a long time, it can be regarded as the glory of a lifetime.
In the cold wind, watch tea in bloom. Look, it, smile. Camellia on the branch is like a flame. It never fears the cold, vows to melt it, and also burns the warmth inside. It seems that winter will be burned into a beautiful spring. So lively, so full of energy, so upward, and have no regrets about their unyielding fate.
