One sunny afternoon, surfing through Facebook, I accidentally saw an article selling digging seeds. Childhood memories with peach picking summer noonas appeared right in front of my eyes. That day, in Pho Cuong (Duc Pho), my hometown, each house had at least a few trees. Peaches are easy to grow, with little maintenance, so it is especially suitable for the arid land of my hometown. The Lunar New Year has passed. In the February of lunar year every year, when the weather is warm, it is also the time for the trees to bear fruit. Although not sweet and easy to eat like other fruits, peaches are very attractive. Then when summer comes, our children are again eagerly facing the plump peach bunches, dangling from the branches. When ripe, peaches emit a very attractive aroma. So instead of getting tired of looking for peaches, we often walk around the garden, stand under the peaches to inhale to, where there is a fragrant peach smell, we know there are delicious fruits waiting for us to enjoy. The nut is divided into two parts: the seed and the fruit. Fruit eaten will have a sour taste, sweet sweet, slightly acrid. If you eat a lot, you still feel your tongue hurt. Especially eating peaches is easy to choke. Every time I saw me picking peach trees, my grandmother always told me to cut peaches into small pieces and squeeze out the water to remove choking and not to eat too much, lest my tongue get sick. However, my joy is to hold a large peach, dab in a bowl of salt and chilli and bite a piece of the teeth, then choke many times because of the peach juice. Although not sweet and easy to eat like other fruits, peaches are very attractive. Nuts are initially green, but when ripe, they can be yellow, pink, or red, depending on the variety. Whatever the color, the peach flavor is the same. The tree is planted with nuts mainly. Many ripe fruit trees fall in the orchard and whoever wants to eat the fruit, they just need to leave the seeds. So our children back then often gathered around the neighborhood to look for a basket of peaches of all kinds of beautiful colors to bring back. After eating, many new children discovered that they did not carefully fill the clothes with water, and then they were full because the clothes with peach pus did not come out much wash. Besides the fruit, peach seeds are also a very high-class dish. Every time she goes around the garden, she picks up peach seeds and waits for the day to sell, I often spend a small handful of fresh peach seeds. Put the peach seeds in the stove to burn back ashes. After little by little of the peach oil was burned and sizzled, the aroma gradually emitted that the seeds were ripe. Use a pearberry tree to hold peach seeds from the fire and then smash the outer shell to have a crisp, fragrant, delicious cashew nut that people often process canned and sold at a high price. A special feature of the peach tree that I like very much is the melted sap tree. In the summer noon, besides picking fruit and picking peaches, I often go to the big old peach stumps, a hug can’t help. Then notice if any ticks are disguising themselves on the peach stump or if there is a tree stump that is melting sap. The beautiful, frozen, orange-yellow peach resin droplets as well as the cicadas are a precious gift that any child would love at that time. Now, the children who used to walk around looking for peaches in the past have all grown up. The child is still in the countryside, who has moved to other cities for a living. The old peach gardens have also gradually thinned, giving way to other fruit trees or trees. But those years of peaches will forever be engraved in our memories with each sweet, sour, acrid and faint aroma of acerola.
