"Haiyan"
Author: Zheng Zhenduo
The jet-black feathers are smooth and beautiful, and she is smart and intelligent. With a pair of scissor-like tails, she is a powerful pair. The handsome and light wings formed such a cute and lively little swallow.
In the spring of February and March, the gentle breeze blows, and the drizzle falls from the sky for no reason. Thousands of soft willows relax their yellow-green eyes. The red, white, and yellow flowers, green grass, and green leaves all rush together like people rushing to the market, forming an extremely gorgeous spring. In spring, those little swallows, so smart and cute little swallows, will Also flying from the south.
The addition of this wonderful spring scene adds a lot of life and interest to the spring scenery. The little swallow, with its double scissor-like tail, flies diagonally across the bright sky in the breeze and drizzle, or when the sun is shining all over the ground. With a cry, it has flown from the rice fields here to the other side. Under the high willow.
The same few but gracefully skimmed across the sparkling lake surface. The little swallow's scissored tail or wing tip occasionally touched the water, and the small circle circled around. The waves rippled away.
There are a few pairs over there who are tired of flying, resting leisurely on the slender wires - a few wooden poles in the tender blue spring, and a few thin lines connecting the poles. , there are a few thick and regular black dots parked on the line, those are swallows, what an interesting picture it is!
There is also a happy family. They even prepared two small nests for our little swallows and placed them at the highest point of the hall beam. If this family has a plaque, then after the plaque It is the best place for little swallows to nest. In the first year, the little swallows came and went, and in the second year, our little swallows, the same pair from last year, came to live again.
"The swallow returns to find its old stronghold." It's still the host and the guest from last year. How harmonious they are between the host and the guest! Occasionally there are several houses, but little swallows don't come to visit, which makes the owner very sad. They can't invite such distinguished guests, and they always think that their luck is bad.
This is the little swallow in our hometown. The cute and lively little swallow has made so many children cheer, pay attention, and be intoxicated, and has made so many farmers and citizens sad. Holding, or pointing with comfort, how many spring colors have been added, how many little swallows are interested in our spring!
Nowadays, we are thousands of miles away from home! It’s thousands of miles away from the country! Standing on the floating house, galloping among the vast sea waves, we unexpectedly saw our little swallow.
These little swallows are the pair from our hometown, two pairs? Are they the pair we saw in our hometown this spring? Two pairs? Seeing them, can the wanderers not feel homesickness, at least like a light smoke?
The sea water is an incomparably clear blue, and the waves are as smooth as the West Lake in the spring morning. The occasional breeze only blows thousands of tiny wrinkles. This makes the golden water surface under the early summer sun look warm and beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful sea!
The sky is also extremely bright blue, with only a few light gauze-like clouds lying flat in the sky, just like a girl wearing a beautiful blue summer dress, but surrounded by A piece of extremely thin and light white gauze scarf.
I have never seen such a beautiful sky! We leaned on the blue boat railing, silently looking at the beautiful sea and sky; we had no distracting thoughts at all, we were intoxicated, and we were taken into the crystal sky.
At this moment, two, three, or four of our little swallows appeared on the sea. They are still slanting across the sea surface gracefully and calmly, just like on a small lake; the seawater is still rippled in circles several times by its scissor-like tail and wingtips. The little swallow flies across the vast sea. Don't you feel tired? Won't it be caught in a storm? We are so worried about them!
The little swallow rested calmly. They spread their wings and landed on the sea. Their wings supported their weight like floating rings. They looked like a small black water bird, floating up and down with the waves, leisurely and comfortable. The sea is such a peaceful home for them, we really can't believe it.
In our hometown, can we still imagine that our little swallow is such a maritime hero? The sea water was still flat and waveless, and many extremely small sea fish were frightened by our boat and swarmed away into the distance. As they flew, long marks appeared on the water surface, just like when we were children. The long marks made by using tiles to float on the water surface. Is this little fish food for our little swallows?
Little swallows slanted and floated on the sea. Are they really the little swallows from our hometown? Ah, homesickness, homesickness like light smoke!
