In April and May, when you walk in Lin Mang, Yuan Ye Slope, hills, narrow paths and even wide roads, you can see many wild fruits. Yellow is yellow bubble, black is black bubble, purple is wild bayberry, red is wild strawberry, and so on. There are even nameless wild fruits, red, orange, yellow and green, colorful, hanging in the shade, dotted in Wanning, Qian Shan.
Mountain people can enjoy this wonderful fruit from heaven best. When summer comes, wild fruits such as yellow bubble, black bubble, wild bayberry, wild strawberry, wild grape, wild peach, hawthorn, bamboo shoot, black fungus and wild mushroom grow gradually. And these wild fruits and delicacies have supported countless lives. During the famine, people still rely on them to fill their stomachs and maintain their lives. In the sixties and seventies, when the economy was in trouble, people often ate melons and fruits instead of rice. At that time, due to policy reasons, few people could plant fruit trees in front of and behind their houses. Therefore, in the season of fragrant wild fruits every year, people have to pick wild fruits to satisfy their hunger. I remember when I was seven or eight years old, I often followed my brother and sister through the bushes, climbed the green vine, climbed the fruit trees, picked wild fruits and tasted all kinds of sweet and sour wild fruits, which not only satisfied my appetite, filled my stomach, but also harvested the joy of picking. When I am a little older, I will know to pick some wild fruits and delicacies from the mountains and take them home for the whole family to eat. Therefore, every year when wild fruits are ripe, children in our mountain villages often call friends after school or on Sundays, and go to the mountains in groups of three or five, and travel all over the mountains and rivers in Lin Mang, picking wild fruits such as yellow bubbles, black bubbles, wild bayberry, wild strawberries, wild grapes, wild peaches and yamanashi, and putting them into bags and baskets (small baskets) to share with you; Sometimes I go through bamboo forests, walk in ravines and pick bamboo shoots, fungus and other mountain products to take home. In addition to eating by myself, I also leave some to dry for the New Year or buy some to subsidize my family. Sometimes I go to climb the cliff and walk in the old forest, pick litsea cubeba and yellow grass, dig up codonopsis pilosula, Polygonum multiflorum and other medicinal materials and take them home for processing and drying.
In a word, Dashan is a great treasure house, which is inexhaustible. Later, because of studying and working abroad, the fun of picking wild fruits and delicacies on the mountain has gradually drifted away, but the gift of the mountain will remain in my memory forever, and the longer it takes, the clearer it will become. Today, the country is rich and strong, the world is at peace, and people's lives are rich. They are no longer expected to satisfy hunger, but these wild fruits and delicacies are still fragrant and still provide people with rich game and pollution-free natural healthy food.
Thank you for the gift from the mountains, and thank you for the enrichment and happiness brought by the wild fruits and delicacies all over the mountains.
