□ Li Donghong

Under the eaves of my hometown, there are two bird's nests, one under the eaves of the hall, and the other under the roof.

"The wild grass flowers on the side of Suzaku Bridge, the sunset of Wuyi Lane. In the old days, Wang Xietang, a swallow, flew into the home of ordinary people."

Seeing swallows this year is still spring. After getting up to push the door that morning, I saw five or six swallows crying happily, flying lightly in the yard, fell on the begonia tree in the yard for a while, and flew back to the nest under the eaves for a while, like a group of funny children. Essence

I went back to my hometown these times, and I didn't see the swallows. I didn't know where they went. I couldn't help but lose my heart. I stood under the empty swallow nest several times, staring for a long time.

I really miss them.

I remember when I was a kid, I had a swallow nest. At that time, the house's house was very worn, but the swallow did not dislike it, and a nest was built in the corner of the beam of the house. The mother was afraid that the child was naughty and pounded the swallow nest, and asked me a few times. It was the home of the swallow. Don't destroy it.

In spring, the two swallows flew around outside and in the room every day. At night, they quietly resting in their nests. From time to time, the mother is sprinkled with some foods in the yard and the room to eat the swallows. We are in harmony with the swallows, and live leisurely like a family.

Later, the weather was getting cold, and I didn't see the swallow. I asked the mother swallow where I went. The mother said, "It's cold, the swallow is going to the south's home, and when the sky is warm, they will come back."

Since that day, I have often watched the swallow and waited for the swallow to return.

Swallows built nests, which were sighed from the outside, piled up little by little, and sometimes dried grass, which was considered to strengthen the nest. After the base is good, the swallows will spread some dried grass below, so that the comfortable home is good.

One day, a naughty playmate didn't know where to pound a bird's nest, and took the house to find me to play. After seeing the mother, she was a little angry and quarreled with him. The care of the mother is that everything has spirituality. Swallows are like an angel, and they should not destroy their homes at all. Moreover, once the swallows are hurt, they will never come back.

Later, when I went to school and joined the work, I lived in the hustle and bustle city. I rarely returned to the village.

I saw swallows and swallows again two years ago.

After the death of the mother, in order to realize the wishes of the mother, several of our sisters renovated the old house of their hometown. After the house was renovated, I didn't know when, the swallow came back.

"Don't be close neighbors when you go old, and now I am surprised by Caotang. Hua Kai should ask each other, not the old owner in the village."

When I returned home that day, my elder sister happily said to me: "There is a bird's nest under our door, and I don't know when the base is."

You hurried over, a new, complete and complete swallow nest under the corner of the door and eaves. Suddenly, joy.

At noon, the two swallows who played in the morning flew back, looking around under the eaves, resting in the nest for a while, staring at the eyes, as if to beware of something.

Late at night a week later, as soon as I opened the door at home, I heard the sound of "叽 一". Looking up, there were 4 swallows in the swallow nest and kept their mouths kept crying. Maybe I couldn't live at home. Swallow's father and Yanzi mother squatted under the eaves next to them to guard her child.

The night of the countryside was very quiet. I was afraid to disturb them and stomped into the house.

Early the next morning, when I went to visit them again, I saw Swallow Dad and Swallow Mom are feeding things to the baby in their mouths. That kind of scene is like a person's parents treating their children. Speechless love hit my heart.

Today, it is autumn. I went home a few days ago, and the swallows have not returned. I think they may be in the warm south and enjoy the bright sun. But I believe that after a short time, they will return when they are springing in the yard.

Because this small farmhouse is also their home!
