Death Valley is located in the state of California, USA is one of the most famous places in the world. This place is associated with some surprising secrets. Specifically, Death Valley has almost no rain all year round. This place has recorded 6 weeks of the year the temperature is always above 40 degrees Celsius. In particular, in 1913, the temperature measured in Death Valley reached 56.7 degrees Celsius. As a result, Death Valley is one of the hottest places in the world to be uninhabited. Although it rarely rains, every time it rains, Death Valley creates a special landscape. At that time, in hot places, when rainwater falls, red mud will appear. This scene looks like a volcano erupting lava. This is the reason why this place is also known as the “dead crater”. Contrary to the name, Death Valley in the spring seems to become another land when wild flowers bloom at the same time. At that time, Death Valley attracted visitors with “flower carpets” of yellow, purple, pink, white… Not only that, a number of lakes, caves full of water … in Death Valley Death Valley is home to 6 species of fish. Among these is a world-famous rare fish called Cyprinodon diabolis. The Eureka Sand Dunes north of Death Valley are the tallest sand dunes in California. According to experts, this sand dune is up to 207m high, 4.8 km long and 1.6 km wide. Invite readers to watch the video: Be amazed by the beauty of the valley of clouds and sky, Mai Chau, Hoa Binh.

“At this time, in addition to the fresh lotus seeds in Hue, which are in season, the ponds and lotus ponds in the countryside also begin to harvest seeds. If fresh lotus seeds in Hue cost 170,000-190,000 VND/kg, the original lotus seeds cost only 100,000-120,000 VND/kg. The lotus seeds from the countryside are as fragrant and fragrant as the Hue lotus seeds,” said Tran Thi Hanh, a small trader selling fresh lotus seeds at Vo market, Ha Dong. Because it is the fresh lotus seed at the beginning of the season, it is sold during the epidemic season, so this year, the price of fresh lotus seeds at the toad markets is quite soft, attracting many housewives to order. “At the beginning of the season, the price of fresh lotus seeds is still high. A little more lotus at the end of the tool, the price of lotus seeds will decrease to 80,000-90,000 VND/kg. That’s why many housewives buy fresh seeds from the countryside to make lotus tea, nut milk or leave sticky rice, cook tea to cool down,” said Hanh. Because many people like to eat, fresh lotus seeds at the beginning of the season are quite popular. Buyers buy at least 1kg, many buy 5-7kg and put them in the refrigerator to eat gradually. According to Ms. Hanh, there are many ways to preserve lotus seeds to eat year-round and still be delicious, but you can follow these 4 ways to store lotus seeds until the next season. Dried lotus seeds Hanh said, there is a simple way to store fresh lotus seeds to eat all year round, which is fresh lotus seeds that do not need to be washed after being purchased. Just peel off the shell, get the white lotus seed kernel. Use a toothpick to take the lotus heart. “Next, bring the lotus seeds to dry in the sun 3-5 times (or dry) until dry, then store them in a jar with a tight lid. From time to time, during use, you can bring lotus seeds to dry in the sun to avoid mold, “Ms. Hanh said. Frozen fresh lotus seeds When buying fresh lotus seeds, the housewife does not wash but peels off the seed shell, takes the white lotus seed kernel and uses a toothpick to get the lotus heart. After that, divide the purchased lotus seeds into small pieces, store them in plastic boxes, plastic bags or put them in vacuum bags and then put them in the freezer for later use. The easiest way is to freeze fresh lotus seeds in the freezer compartment As for the refrigerator, it can only be for about 10 days when the lotus begins to darken. Every time you take out the lotus seeds to use, take each box or bag, gradually defrost and cover with boiling water. Then cook normally. Lotus seeds are still pure white even when stored in the freezer. Steam fresh lotus seeds and put them in the freezer There is another way to preserve fresh lotus seeds that many housewives have recently suggested is to steam them and then freeze them to eat gradually. “Many housewives who buy their own lotus seeds think that if fresh lotus seeds are stored in the refrigerator for a few days, they will become dull, and the seeds will decrease in sweetness. As for fresh, but frozen, sometimes it is still mixed with rough seeds, not delicious. But if steamed, it’s 100% fleshy, white, fragrant, not dull, very convenient because when you need to eat tea, it cooks very quickly,” this person shared. Specifically, prepare a pot of water and steam the lotus seeds above, until the lotus is ripe. Do not stir while the lotus is still hot to avoid crushing the seeds. Wait for the lotus seeds to cool completely, then put them in a freezer box. This way can be stored for several months to a year. When you need to cook lotus leaf rice, lotus seed tea, longan tea, … just cook other ingredients and then add lotus and it will still be soft, fleshy, and fragrant like fresh lotus. More sophisticated, you can steam lotus seeds before freezing Soak in dilute salt water, then quickly bare and freeze According to Ms. Hanh, there is a way to store fresh lotus seeds to eat all year round, which is applied by many people, which is to buy fresh lotus seeds and wash them twice. Then, soak in diluted salt water for 10 minutes, then take out and wash again. Bring the water to a boil, add a teaspoon of salt. Then put the lotus seeds in the ceiling for 3 minutes. Keep a basin of very cold ice water ready to take out the lotus, then put it in a bowl of ice water to soak for 10 minutes. At this time, remove the lotus seeds to a basket to freeze. Doing this, the whole year in the lotus seed cabinet does not darken. When cooked, it still has a fragrant lotus scent. The lotus seller affirms that preserving fresh lotus seeds by the above methods can keep lotuses all year round. There are opinions reflecting that fresh lotus seeds are frozen to freeze, but according to Ms. Hanh, whether or not the lotus is shy is due to the lotus variety and lotus soil, not the way it is preserved. “Even if the fresh lotus is frozen in the freezer, it’s okay, boiled it is still beautiful and delicious like a fresh lotus,” she shared. In addition, Ms. Hanh also noted, when buying fresh lotus seeds to store food all year round, housewives should buy old, round lotus seeds, do not choose long, cracked seeds. These lotus seeds are usually delicious, not shy, fragrant, very sweet and chewy.

Meanwhile, there is an inexhaustible source of energy, which is solar energy, which is being used in many constructions serving human life. The use of hot water by solar energy has also been implemented, but in unstable weather areas such as central provinces, especially Quang Binh, it is difficult to apply solar energy to generate electricity. Year-round hot water for daily living. Two children Dinh Thi Kim Oanh and Kaohsiung Cuong with the structural diagram of a solar water heater product. To solve this problem, Dinh Thi Kim Oanh, a student of class 12B and Kaohsiung Cuong, a student of class 12A, Trung Hoa Middle School and High School together with teacher Dinh Ngoc Trai researched and manufactured ordinary products. hot water by combining a solar water heater with an electric water heater. The principle of operation of this device is: the output of the solar water heater will be put through the inlet of the electric water heater, the output of the electric water heater will be brought down to the faucet. to use. The electricity supplied to the electric water heater is controlled by a controller with a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor head is located in the heart of the solar water heater. If the temperature in the solar water heater reaches 40 degrees Celsius or more (this temperature value can be adjusted), the controller will control the relay to disconnect the power to the electric water heater. At this time, hot water from the solar water heater flows through the electric water heater and flows down the faucet for use. If the temperature in the solar water heater is lower than 40 degrees Celsius, the controller will control the relay to power on the electric water heater. At this time, the water from the solar water heater flows through the electric water heater, here, the water will be heated to a certain temperature (depending on the user’s adjustment) and flows down the faucet for use. . The amount of electricity used to heat the water will be less because the water in the solar water heater itself is already heated more than normal water (during sunny days or hot temperatures). According to Kaohsiung, the outstanding advantage of this product is that it has come up with a solution to use solar water heaters in unstable rainy and sunny areas, namely the combination of using between the solar water heater and the electric water heater in a reasonable way. The power supply to the electric water heater is controlled to close and disconnect automatically on the basis of recognizing the water temperature in the solar water heater. This is the outstanding feature of the product, which helps to maximize the amount of electricity used to heat water. Without this automatic controller, according to habit, users will turn on the attomat to have hot water but forget that that day, it was sunny and there was hot water in the solar water heater. This habit will consume an unnecessary amount of power. But if there is this controller, the power supply for the electric water heater is fully automatic and scientific, depending on the water temperature in the solar water heater. Only when the temperature of the water in the solar water heater is too low (below 40 degrees Celsius), then the controller will output a signal to the relay to close the electric lock to supply power to the electric water heater. to boil water. Currently, the demand for hot water in daily life is very large. Therefore, in areas with erratic rainy and sunny weather that must use an electric water heater, the monthly electricity consumption is not small. But if installed in combination with another solar water heater, can significantly save monthly electricity consumption. According to the current quote, a 130l solar water heater (for a family of about 5 people) costs from 3.7 million VND, with a warranty of up to 5 years, a lifespan from 10 years to 15 years. The low initial cost but can be used for a long time and help consumers use hot water all year round without having to pay a lot of electricity bills is the obvious economic benefit of the project. Moreover, solar energy is a clean energy source that does not pollute the environment, therefore, if the product of the project is widely used, it will contribute to environmental protection. “We are very confident with this topic, because after completing the project, we were facilitated by our parents to install it right in our family to use. We are ready to support and guide the design and installation stages for families who need to use solar water heaters. Hopefully, our project will receive the investment of businesses to make products that are both technical and cheap to serve the needs of the people,” shared Dinh Thi Kim Oanh.

Build a new life Sitting on a motorboat, invested by Mr. Nguyen Van Trieu with an amount of more than 100 million VND, with all necessary equipment for tourists such as life jackets and lifebuoys, I feel the life of the people. The bed of the Sesan 4 Hydropower Plant has changed and is much different from 10 years ago, when they first came here to determine to build a new life, in their second homeland. The sound of the boat’s engine going up and down the lake reverberated and stirred the whole area. The wind blows on the lake surface, with a faint, strong smell characteristic of the river. Trieu’s houseboat pairing boat, tourists quickly spread out, some people are eager to feed fish, people go to see fish drying, making fish sauce, laughing and talking. As for me, hanging around Mr. Trieu to ask about his daily work. Mr. Trieu said, when the gray smoke behind the raft houses started to emerge, the men were ready to go and drop nets. 10 years living on this lake bed, his rafts and the people around him are getting bigger and bigger, sure, life is much better, old age and children can learn more words, but with The men from all over the country gather here are still the same: pulling nets at night, pulling nets during the day to drop nets and nets, and then sell fish to traders. Mr. Trieu confided, 10 years ago, the bed of Se San 4 lake was vast and lonely, with countless fish. On the first day of coming here, the people of Thua Thien Hue and Quang Binh fished gobies and chameleons; people in the west fish Dinh sesame, red-tailed snout; and the people in the central region, in the southeastern part of the country, they will catch any fish. “Now the fish are less and wiser, they just swim under the rotten wooden trunks of the lake bed, rarely come up, so if they drop the nets deep down, they will all be torn. In the past, there was a night when catching half a kilo of fish, at least from 10 kg to 20 kg. For the past few years, it’s only been a few kilograms, so you guys have to switch to fishing,” said Mr. Trieu, pointing out to tell me where there are rafts built by people there and floating on the lake. At about 17 o’clock, when the sunset fell, we got on the boat to follow Mr. Trieu and the households in the fishing village to prepare tools to cast nets and cast nets. The atmosphere becomes bustling by the sound of motorboats and fishermen calling each other. Trieu’s family has a total of 20 baskets, each with an investment of about four million dong. As he walked, he introduced me, each basket was placed at least 200 m apart, we clearly divided the area so that families did not concentrate on mining in one place, each time it took more than 1 It took hours to return to the shore because the distance was quite long. Each rack will be fitted with a battery used to connect to light a light bulb. That’s how to catch Sesan anchovies. Just stretch out, drop the lights down, the anchovies see the light and gather. Around 3 am the next morning, the boat went out to pull the nets and harvested the fish. Those who are afraid will bring it to Se San market to sell, diligently bring it back to dry and sell it gradually. Up to now, Sesan anchovy has become a famous specialty. When the batches are finished, the people of Sesan fishing village come back to pick up every piece of trash and waste floating on the river. It’s not because hundreds of people are always diving and roaming the river, so they do that but that’s the reason for living. Mr. Trieu said: Contaminating the river also means harming yourself, that thought is deeply rooted in the thinking of this fishing village. Living off the products on the river, more than a hundred people in Sesan fishing village always consider the river as a living being, like a soulmate to remind themselves not to do anything harmful to the river. Mr. Dang Van Thuoc, Director of Se San Cooperative, saw that Mr. Trieu’s house had visitors, so he rowed over to chat with us. He asserted that: I was one of the first people to come here with Mr. Trieu, well versed in all fishing channels, but I always remind the fishing village households to never fish in an extermination way, only with nets. Traditional , . We agree to make the eyeballs according to a certain size, only the big and right sized fish will be harvested and the fry and small fish will fall in to continue to grow. Especially from the 14th to the 20th day of the lunar calendar every month, the people of the fishing village will not pull the net and release the net because this is the breeding cycle of anchovies. In the most difficult times, absolutely no one is allowed to use explosives to fish in the river. It is a crime, it is to destroy the river. Gently stepping through the wooden planks to connect the floating rafts of the houses together, helping the nearby families to come to the house to chat, I met Mr. Nguyen Van Tung, who is over 70 years old this year. With a bright smile when welcoming a stranger to visit, he happily said: Every morning he wakes up very early to wait for the morning sun, and then begins his working day. “In the past, the whole family of six of us lived in a river down to the east, but there people were indifferent to the river, did not protect the river, so the fate of people was poor when the river was polluted. more shrimp. Up here, everyone has a sense of preserving the water flow and the landscape, so life has been warmed up,” said Mr. Tung. Beautiful fishing village After nearly 10 years of clinging to the Se San river, the lives of the fishing village households are still precarious, their children cannot go to school, their lives are floating along the water. Through the monitoring process, the households in the fishing village are all diligent, honest and have the desire to settle down for a long time, so the leaders of Kon Tum province have created conditions for the households to gradually stabilize their lives. The Lunar New Year of the Pig in 2019, the joy of the fishing village was multiplied many times when all 29 households with more than 100 people were imported, were granted 400 m2 of residential land and each household was supported 50 million VND. to make a house. From a place of floating and precarious living along the water, the people of the fishing village have been settled. Mr. Nguyen Van Trieu said, with the same amount of 50 million dong, most families in the fishing village try to contribute from 50 to more than 100 million dong to build a house. Therefore, 29 spacious and spacious Great Solidarity houses with an area of ​​​​from 80 m2 to 120 m2 with corrugated iron roof and flower tile background were inaugurated. Ashore, many families were able to buy motorbikes, televisions and refrigerators. Comrade Tran Trung Dung, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Ia Toi Commune, said that from the capital of the national target program on building new countryside, the fishing village was invested by the State with more than three billion VND. pull electricity from the grid to the village. In the coming time, we are focusing on bringing clean water to each household because this is still the most urgent issue today. For the education of children in the fishing village to be what it is today, families are always grateful to Mr. Nguyen Quang Tho, Head of Education and Training Department of Ia H’Drai district. Mr. Tho went to each campaigner, creating conditions to bring their children to class. Mr. Tho shared his memories of the first days of mobilizing families: Most of the people in the fishing village were afraid to send their children to school because it took a long time to pick them up. They think very simply that their parents and themselves who were born and raised on the raft are literate but still live well. However, I was not discouraged, went out to friends to talk, persevered, and encouraged each family so that the children could go to school. Thanks to that, all children born in the fishing village today who reach school age can go to school fully. Comrade Vo Anh Tuan, Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee, Chairman of the District People’s Committee Ia H’Drai said: In the coming time, the district government will focus on supporting and investing more methodically in developing the tourism economy in the province. fishing village, to effectively exploit this potential. Tourism cannot be generalized but must deal with specific problems. For example, it is necessary to build a tour with a specific schedule so that visitors feel like coming back and recommending to friends to visit. The overnight stay of tourists at the raft can only meet a few, but not guarantee for large groups. In addition, the district will seek and call for capable and enthusiastic investors to invest in building more tourist attractions in the lakebed area, thereby forming a closed ecotourism chain. with its own charms. Deep lake night. The raft house of Mr. Nguyen Van Trieu sways with each wave. Lying down listening to the waves crashing into the raft house, from time to time there was the sound of fish jumping below, we kept awake. The alarm clock sounded at 3 am, I quickly got up to prepare to follow Mr. After two hours, when we returned, the sun began to shine. Before parting after a night of experiencing the life of the people of Sesan fishing village, I made an appointment with the people here to come back to witness the change when the tourism potential on the bed of Sesan 4 becomes a reality. Se San fishing village will become an attractive destination on the travel map of Kon Tum, the Central Highlands region in particular and the whole country in general.

Xuan Huong was born and raised in Vietnam. Then she immigrated to America. Currently, she enjoys the housewife life, taking care of her family and unleashing her passion for all kinds of quince in her garden. Ms. Huong shared: “ Before, I planted a lot of flowers, I like to plant for fun because my house is quite large. At first, I did not grow Quynh but planted a variety of varieties such as roses, chrysanthemums… However, realizing that other flowers take a lot of time to care for, prune, and water daily, I decided to choose primrose, which is both easy to care for and blooms brilliantly. I usually focus on taking my kids to school, cooking, and spending more time with myself “. Previously, she also tried to grow many different types of flowers such as chrysanthemums, roses… However, most of the flowers she planted need a lot of time to take care of. Therefore, she has researched and chosen to plant varieties of rhododendrons, flowers that bloom brilliantly but don’t take much care. Her garden is therefore always lush and impressive. A corner of rhododendrons is blooming brilliantly. Ms. Xuan Huong beside the blooming sunflowers. Initially, Ms. Huong planted a few varieties of rhododendrons and found this to be a suitable variety for warm climates. The tree also has many colors, flowers bloom beautifully, is durable and does not require much care. Up to now, Ms. Huong’s garden has more than 200 different types of Quynh. The more I grow, the more I love it, so I don’t stop buying more of my favorite varieties to plant. Among all types of Quynh, my favorite is Quynh sen (German Empress) because the flowers bloom for the longest time compared to other types of Quynh. Each flower can bloom for about 7 days while other types of rhododendrons only last 2-3 days. The color of the flowers is similar to that of Vietnam’s lotus bud, so every time Quynh blooms, she misses her hometown more. A brilliant garden corner, showing off her fragrance with the types of Quynh that she loves. The characteristic of Quynh is that it likes light sunshine, under a sheltered place, little watering, dry soil. Quynh blooms can be fresh for up to 1 week, helping her garden always shine very impressively. One corner is placed a lot of potted rhododendrons with different varieties. Ms. Xuan Huong currently grows more than 200 types of quince in her garden. In her spare time, she still spends her time collecting different types of rhododendrons to plant in her garden. Flowers are also quite diverse in color. In her spare time, Ms. Huong often walks around the garden, with time on the weekend she will take advantage of watering more fertilizer. She often plans with a periodic irrigation schedule. On average, she fertilizes flowers once a month. In winter, she gives the plant a break without fertilizing. In the summer, she watered every 3-4 days, in the winter because it was cold, the plants kept moisture well, so she only watered once every 10 days. The owner of the garden shares the secret of flower care: “If I want flowers to bloom beautifully, I usually add bloom booster to promote more flowers. In terms of soil, I plant cactus soil or potting soil that is easy to drain. I don’t like to water a lot, if the soil is moist enough, the plant can grow well. “. Quynh is a flower that does not need much effort to fertilize, does not water a lot, sometimes adding fertilizer periodically is enough to enjoy the brilliant beauty of the flowers. In her free time, Xuan Huong often takes her children to the garden to take care of the sunflowers, learn about nature, and get closer to the trees. This is also the time when she feels happy, relaxed and loves her home and garden more. Thanks to these simple experiences, the garden of Ms. Xuan Huong’s family is always brilliant with all kinds of rhododendrons racing to bloom. I love every little corner of my garden. The charming types of Quynh stand out in the garden like a highlight creating a natural feature, close to nature, helping every member to love their home more every day.

In any season of the year, the rose garden on Ms. Hien’s terrace blooms brilliantly. Can’t believe I can grow a beautiful flower garden In the afternoon, the sun went out, Dinh Thi Dieu Hien (living in District 11, Ho Chi Minh City) went up to the terrace again, immersed in the blooming rose garden, emitting a sweet scent. She said, up to now, she does not believe that she can grow such a beautiful rose garden. Because, the rose is a species suitable for temperate climate while HCMC is hot all year round. Hien said, she grows flowers because she loves and wants to beautify her house. So, when she saw that the balconies of many houses abroad were covered with roses, she dreamed of being able to grow this flower on her balcony. The flower garden has many different types of domestic and imported roses. That passion burned even more when she noticed that there was a movement to grow infrared flowers in Vietnam. Unable to wait any longer, she ordered a pot of roses from Phu Tho province to plant on the balcony of the house. “Red is very red. Must understand to take care of flowers. At first, I only planted persimmons in the balconies. However, here the tree does not have enough sunlight, so it is very weak, giving small, few flowers. So I put the flowers on the terrace for the plants to have enough sun and then brought the plants back to the old location, “said Hien. To plant such a beautiful flower garden on the terrace, Hien spent 3 years tinkering and experimenting. Moving the trees constantly made her tired and came up with the idea to turn the empty terrace into a flower garden to grow roses. However, when moving the tree to the terrace, she had to face the reality of hot weather, burning hot sun. In order for the plant to grow well, for beautiful flowers, she tinkered and found her own flower care formula. She said: “In the balcony with little sun, every day I just spray the leaves thoroughly in the morning. If it’s too hot, in the afternoon I just mist the leaves and spray before 5pm. The fertilizing regime also reduces high-protein fertilizers because less sunlight and more protein are easy to cause diseases. In the early years, she fell under stress because the flower growing failed continuously. “When planted on the terrace, the tree will get more sun and wind. Therefore, I watered twice a day, sprayed the leaves thoroughly in the morning and afternoon. In addition, I also pay attention to shading the pot with straw, pine bark … or growing vegetables and short-rooted flowers that both provide oxygen and cool the pink roots,” she added. Insomnia, awake because of flowers She said, in order to accumulate that experience, she spent sleepless nights just thinking and trying to make the garden live and bloom beautifully. In the first year of planting flowers, Hien almost always fell into a state of stress, stress by investing effort and money, but the tree did not sprout, give buds, bloom. Up to now, she has found her own secret to being able to grow all kinds of roses on the terrace of her house. Not giving up, she joined and learned from rose-growing associations and groups. She applies that technique to her flower garden and then spends time researching and gaining more experience from the fact that she takes care of flowers every day in the garden. Finally, after 3 years, she understood and grasped the characteristics of roses. Even, she has accumulated experience and techniques for growing roses on the terrace in the year-round hot weather of Ho Chi Minh City. After 3 years, she has covered her empty terrace with many kinds of roses for bright, fragrant flowers. She shared: “Hong loves the sun, in addition to the need for 3 hours of sunshine or more, it also needs the following factors: first soil, second pot, three varieties. Fertilizer is just the last addition. My soil composition consists of: 25% finely ground alluvial soil, 45% vermicompost, treated coir, smoked rice husks, bat manure and perlite. She also noted that the mixing of the soil must ensure that the soil is loose and well-drained. Because persimmons must be planted in pots, placed on the terrace, the pots also have certain criteria. Ms. Hien’s experience is that it is necessary to choose a good drainage pot, even after buying it, she also drills more drainage holes. To maintain the flower garden, Ms. Hien spends a lot of effort and time taking care of it with her own techniques. In addition, Ms. Hien also listed techniques for fertilizing plants. She always spends a weekend to fertilize and spray her flower garden. Up to now, Ms. Hien has in hand the technique of fertilizing roses according to a specific formula and experience. One of the factors for the tree to flower wrongly and continuously is the pruning technique. These techniques include: choosing a fertilizer that provides adequate nutrition for each stage of the plant, when fertilizing, it must be applied 2-5cm from the wall of the pot, 3 days before the flowers die, apply fertilizer to provide a lot of phosphorus to stimulate the roots.

Old village well… On hot sunny days, when it is hot, the well is only a little less, the sudden showers fill the well. The well surface is paved with fired bricks. The afternoon was full of laughter and laughter from the women, mothers, sisters, brothers and sisters carrying the laundry. The yard of the well is always wet, with moss on the edge of the yard. One day, my aunt went to the well to fetch water, avoiding her mother who was washing clothes, so she went close to the edge of the yard when she was pounced by a frog in the innocent laughter of her friends. I fell a few times, peeling off a large patch of moss, it was very painful, but I still tried because I was afraid that my mother would worry, tomorrow my feet will be scratched and swollen. However, only a few days of moss covered as if not wanting to leave the well. So on rainy days, my father wouldn’t let me and my sister go to the well, just afraid that the moss would hurt the kids. On a clear sunny morning, the friends gathered together to the well to pick moss to make fighting chickens. Crisp, carefree laughter from time to time. The soft, cool moss has made many children slip and fall, their foreheads are swollen, their clothes are covered with moss. One day, he was scolded again because he did not obey, escaped from napping to go out to the well to play with his friends, chased around the well and then stepped on the moss lying on the ground, his face was smeared but still forced a smile to cover the problem. pain. Growing up, we left the village to study, and then got married in a faraway place. Haven’t visited the village well for a long time. The smooth paved road replaces the old dirt road. Tap water, pump wells in every house should have a sad well. There was also a time when the power went out, the house was not ready yet, so I went to the well to draw a few buckets of water for temporary use. How do children now feel the cool water when bathing in the well? Then go away from the village well! Well, no one does laundry anymore. The moss died a lot, each patch was curled on the ground. When I return to my hometown, I often go to the well to draw water to wash my face, drop the bucket down, there are no dark green mosses mixed in the clear blue water. The way back is no longer the path of the grass. I don’t understand why in the past they liked to go back and forth so that the grass was filled with nostalgia, a reminder, a silly love when standing blankly looking at each other, meeting those eyes as clear as well water but the grass without pinning more wishes… There are afternoons when we sit down to remove the grass and let it go with the wind… Now the old neighborhood has changed. The road no longer has a place for grass to grow. The children of the past are now like birds flying everywhere. Someone flew to the western sky. Everyone is busy with life. I don’t know if they think like me. I owe this land a lot, a place that is always full of laughter, a place where I always receive the fullest love, a peaceful place where anyone who goes far will return. This afternoon it was very windy, roaming with a bicycle to the dyke to receive the fresh and peaceful air of the homeland. Missing the grass flowers sewn by the roadside, remembering the moss-stoned chickens, remembering the innocent laughter of friends, remembering someone else’s eyes… Roundabout and then back. Go to the well to borrow a bucket to wash your face, slowly feel the water seep into the cool skin. Looking down at the well, well, there was still a beautiful little moss trying to cling to the strong ferns. I was dumbfounded… Well, the moss still exists there. Glittering smile, look at yourself to see the moss at that time, why remember it strangely.
