My mother took me to the yard to plant some lilac trees.
Lilac trees soon grew beyond my height. I often stand in front of the lilac tree and observe its changes. In early spring, young leaves look like hearts. Then, purple or white clouds appear on its branches, which are made up of many small flowers. In autumn, it picked the flat fruit, and soon after, winter came, but the lilac tree took off all its green clothes, revealing its thin body, making its branches endure the cold attack of MINUS 40 degrees. At first, I was worried that this delicate little tree would freeze to death. But in the early spring of the following year, it began to grow branches, leaves and flowers. In that bitter era, I often didn't feel the fragrance of cloves. Sometimes you will find crystal tears on its petals. Has it also tasted the bitterness of the world?
The teacher said that lilacs have four small petals. But my Russian classmates secretly told me that there were five petals left. If you find five lilacs, you will find happiness. At this time, you can't let happiness run away, you should eat it at once. This may be a Russian custom? From their customs, it is not difficult to see their eagerness for happiness. At that time, we were all children, and we didn't know if happiness needed to be fought for. We boys and girls get together and grab five lilacs as long as we find them. I don't know how much I ate.
In the midsummer of one year, the wind rolled with heavy rain and roared for two days and two nights. My little lilac tree was scraped off. I thought it would never live again. Mother said, "don't cry, it will live!" " Sure enough, Duangan survived the cold winter, and in spring, it pulled out new branches and grew new leaves. I found five petals in the blooming flowers that year, but I couldn't bear to swallow them. These five lilacs are hard-won. It took a lot of trouble to blossom. I can't bear to eat it. What's more, happiness is not achieved by eating five cloves, but by yourself.
