Swallow, bird. In the old house in rural hometown, swallows return to their nests every year. Jujube flowers fall to the ground, wheat ears are yellow, and the memory is always afternoon. The family was resting in the hall, and two swallows came in one after another and walked around the family as a greeting. I flew to the old house, cleaned it up a little, and settled down by myself. At that time, the swallow came, and my heart was on the swallow. When I came back from outside, I looked up at Yan Yi as soon as I entered the room. I often ask them: When I left last year, there were seven people in your family-my parents and five children born in my family. Are you two the parents of the family who left last year or their children? How long is a year! I think those old swallows are too old to fly. You should be their child, right? Do you remember? Last year, when you were born, I came to see you with dog leftovers and Mao Dan. The dog said that their swallow only gave birth to two children, Mao Dan said that their swallow gave birth to three children, and our swallow gave birth to five children at a time. I praised your parents in front of Mao Dan and the dog residue. I am too ashamed to lift the dog's left side and furry head. Do you remember? When you were born last year, our old cat always peeked at you with malicious intent. I'm afraid he will hurt you. I tied one of his front and rear legs diagonally together with a rope until you grew up, and I took off the shackles for the old cat. Because I offended the old cat, the old cat ignored me for a long time.
When the swallow came, he didn't bring anything. In autumn, they walk quietly, just like they come quietly, flapping their wings, "without taking away a cloud." Looking at the empty swallow, a childlike innocence began a long wait. . . . . . .
Now that I think about it, the heart that belonged to the little swallow in my childhood is as carefree and carefree as the little swallow. . . . .

It's been almost twenty years since I entered the city, and the swallows in the old rural houses have never been to my home in the city once. I think the swallow may think that I am not the real me in childhood, because I don't like my vulgarity and disdain to associate with me. It is also a relief to think about it-tired and trapped by the secular world, how can our generation be looked up to by the free and carefree swallows! The reason why swallows came to my house this year, I think, may be because of my mother's face.
After the Spring Festival this year, I took my mother from the countryside to live with me. I remember when I was a child, my mother sent the swallows that accidentally fell from the nest back to the nest countless times, and rescued the swallows with wet wings from the rain curtain countless times. The rescued swallow may have told his descendants to remember his mother's saving his life from generation to generation. I guess this spring, two swallows born in my old house last year came back from the south. They are going to my old house. They passed by my home now, and happened to meet my mother going out to play soy sauce, so they had a dialogue:
"ah! Isn't this our old landlord? "
"It's her. The old lady's back is a little bent, but it is still tough. Is she almost eighty? "
"Seventy-nine, I heard it from the old man on my birthday last year."
"Eat and recite the Buddha country, the old lady is a good person!"
"Follow her and see where she goes."
. . . . . .
"ah! The old lady moved here. I said, let's settle down here this year, be the companion of the old people, be the old landlord, know the root and know the bottom, and bear with me more!
"Agreed, that's settled!"
You see, you can be everywhere, unrestrained, unrestrained! There is no need to apply for certificates such as homestead use certificate and building permit, grand foundation laying ceremony, lively completion ceremony, decoration and in addition to formaldehyde. The couple started working together, and in a few days, a warm love was established and they moved in immediately. Their love nest is not equipped with air conditioning, and I am ashamed-use air conditioning to cool down when it is hot and heating when it is cold. Have been fighting for the sky, to pay for freon pollution. Swallows, on the other hand, go to the north in hot weather and go to the south in cold weather to adapt to the weather and make good use of their geographical location. Compared with swallows, we are smarter, but swallows use great wisdom.

The study is on the second floor, and Yan Yi is next to the door of the study. At night, when you code words, you always turn on the desk lamp very low, and the fingers on the keyboard are always gentle, saying that you are afraid of disturbing the dream of the Swallow family. In fact, there is a deeper meaning, that is, I am afraid that swallows will laugh at me-I have food, drink and a house to live in, and I am so greedy for work day and night! Tired, I walked softly to the corridor to get some air, looked up at the swallow, and saw that the swallow couple slept so solidly, and I couldn't help but admire the swallow-how pure their love was! When they get married, of course, they don't care if the other person is the second generation of rich second generation officials. He doesn't care about her measurements, and she doesn't have to ask him if he has a marriage history. I don't care if the other party has a house or a bus ticket. I am a postdoctoral fellow in a junior college and a department-level department. In life, they won't be upset because they didn't get a senior title, won't be entangled because the promotion opportunity was seized by others, won't be afraid because they took money they shouldn't have taken, and won't be afraid because they went to bed they shouldn't have. Fame and fortune are tiring, and there is no fetter of greed. Tomorrow, they will fly to the vast land together, to the boundless blue sky, to bathe their hearts, to inherit the dew from the sky and to drink the sweet spring water. . . . . .

That rainy day was a Sunday. On rainy days, Swallows, like me, spend Sundays at home.
That day, I was pleasantly surprised to find that our swallow gave birth to three lovely babies at some unknown time, and Huang Dou, the vomited fetus, was almost gone. At this time, a family of five is lying side by side in the swallow's mouth, and several pairs of eyes are coldly looking at this busy world.
I took a book at hand and sat in the yard opposite their house. For a long time, I saw their family so quietly together that no one moved. Judging from the war situation, it is obvious that the parents of their children have not enrolled their three children in piano or calligraphy classes, music or dance classes, nor have they planned to attend banquets, annual club meetings or prize-winning activities for friends' promotion. I watched them for a long time and found that they stayed together like this every rainy weekend. Unlike one of my literary friends, she always uses overtime as an excuse to see her female classmates in college on weekends, and unlike the wife of another literary friend, she always uses overtime as an excuse to see her boss on weekends. In the eyes of the Swallow family, I often think that there are various groups in their world, right? Is there a "boss" in charge of big and small things? If so, why don't they go to the boss's house for a walk on weekends and have lesbian relationships? Presumably not, because of the nature of swallows, I'm too lazy to do that!
When we played with swallows as children, we were all carefree and happy. Now, the swallow has been living the old days for decades, but it has been happy; As for me, food and clothing are much better than before, but I'm not happy anymore. Why?
In the eye contact with swallows, my heart was scared first. Swallows are still quietly looking at the outside world, watching the willows bloom in spring and the fallen leaves fall in autumn. Between prosperity and decline, the bustling crowd hurried on. Finally, the swallow smiled at each other and muttered something. I know bird language-what are you up to?
There is a swallow at home, which benefits a lot. I often think that I wish I were a swallow!
