Farmhouse

My hometown is in the countryside, and especially What fascinates me and holds my soul in my dreams is the little red-walled courtyard. Not to mention the quaint small bridges and flowing water in the countryside, nor the fascinating green pines and cypresses, nor the vast black land, and the common lotus ponds that change throughout the year, this small red-walled courtyard alone , very poetic and picturesque.
Oh, is spring coming? She arrived in a hurry with light steps. Old Man Winter seemed to be still paying attention to bringing something, but Miss Chun no longer allowed it. Take a closer look. Are there a few little green heads popping out of the flowerpot? Oh, those are the henna seeds that fell last summer. I closed my eyes and prayed silently: May this little creature thrive! When I opened my eyes, the peach tree had sprouted many new buds. The stems of the grapes are beginning to turn green, but the orange trees and willow trees still have the same appearance as before: green leaves, either tender or tough branches. When looking elsewhere, there is a faint layer of green and yellow. I know that the seeds sown by my hard-working father are beginning to "compete for the upper reaches".
If it comes to March, you will still see pink peach blossoms exposed outside the wall, which is very cute. Looking at it, the tree seems to be full of big and red peaches.
Summer is here, have you seen it? You must be very deceived: the peach tree next to the corner can no longer conceal its inner joy and displays its rich fruits in front of people. So big, so big, white and rosy. You may even feel the sweet juice of the fruit overflowing. Pick one and try it, it will make you feel "blessed" and convinced. Oh, by the way, don’t forget that bunch of shiny green, red and purple grapes are hanging on the plant. These grapes seem to be blushing and too shy to hide their faces. You can only see this kind of situation after midsummer. What about autumn?
Autumn is here, the harvest season. Whether it is crops in pots or on the ground, it is a gratifying sight. Chinese cabbage and cabbage have their leaves rolled up, like an Arhat with his head shrunk, squatting there, just waiting for you to harvest. There are also loofahs and lentils planted in the four corners of the wall. They are climbing the wall, holding the vines, and intertwining with the branches outside the wall. Looking up from the bottom, there are loofahs hanging one by one and strings of lentils hanging. Everyone says that autumn rain is annoying, but when it rains and you come here and see a green world with drops of water, you will feel that the scenery is more charming, and autumn rain is also lovely. When you are filled with admiration, you must be thinking of the owner of the garden. They are hardworking and capable, as simple and beautiful as the autumn rain and autumn fruits.
Seriousness and coldness are the common feelings people have towards winter. But my small courtyard is seeing life in the neglect. Isn't it? The orange trees that had harvested their fruits were still green. There are also osmanthus trees accompanying it. Aren’t those flat and carefully cultivated vegetable beds pregnant with expectations for the coming year? When it snows heavily, this is another small world made of pink and jade. You will be cleansed and sublimated in this tranquility and purity.
The small courtyard is so simple and yet so poetic. My courtyard is one of the ordinary small courtyards in our hometown. Friends, when you read this, don’t you feel a little yearning? Yes, I think it will! Then, I sincerely invite you and your friends to visit us. At that time, I will definitely do my best to be a "landlord".
