My hometown
My hometown in Xianfeng County, Hubei Province has more than 10,000 acres of pear orchards. There is a pear orchard on Wangcheng Slope near my home. Under the caress of the spring breeze, the pear blossoms as white as jade rushed to bloom. Looking from a distance, the pear orchard looked like a snow-capped mountain. Before entering the "Snow Mountain", bursts of fragrance hit my nostrils. I hurriedly walked into the pear garden, ah! It also attracted swarms of little bees, which were "buzzing" and busy among the flowers, sometimes heading west and sometimes east, as if they were playing hide-and-seek. Sister Lihua is in groups of three and five, discussing how to bear fruit this year! Li Ye heard it, and eagerly got out, looked around, and couldn't help but praise, "The world is so beautiful!" The flowers withered, and the trees were covered with small green lanterns. The whole summer is the growing season of pears. The pears are green at first, small and round, hanging on the branches, swaying in the wind and rain, which is very attractive. By April or May, the pears gradually grew larger, almost as big as my small fist, and their color also turned light blue. As soon as autumn arrives, the color of the pears turns yellow-red. At this time, the pears are ripe. The largest one weighs more than a catty, and the smallest one weighs more than half a catty. The season when pears are ripe is the busiest time in Xianfeng City. The streets and alleys are full of farmers selling pears. The most delicious pear is the golden pear.
My mother and I also bought some and took them home. We gently scraped them open with a knife to reveal the white, juicy pulp. When we took a bite, it was crunchy, sweet, and so delicious! Businessmen from Wuhan, Hunan and other places are famous for coming here to purchase pears. Carloads of pears are continuously transported to distant places...
