Tsubaki bud trees, white flower peaches

■ Jiang Xiaodong

When I was a child, there were Tsubaka buds and white flower trees on the side of my cottage. In the spring, when the bud tree germinated, my mother -in -law said to my grandfather, "Old man, you take out the bean plug and hook the bud." Grandpa agreed, and a bean insert extended from the cottage house. come out.

The "bean insert" we call is the bamboo pole, but it is smaller than the bamboo pole, and there is a hook on the sharp tip. When Grandpa hook Terry, the sharpness of the beans was shaken, and there was no order, and it was always impossible. Grandpa called her mother -in -law to end the high bench out.

The mother -in -law came out of the cottage for a long time. Grandpa heard the panting sound. Looking back, the mother -in -law moved out a high table. Grandpa said, "You old lady!" Mother -in -law said: "You can stand steadily at the high table!" Grandpa climbed up the high table with a smile, and the bean plugs were still sparkling, but the tender Tsubaka bud hung up The ground fell down. The mother -in -law bent down her waist and picked the bud in the cricket.

Seeing my grandparents so funny, I sat on the threshold and laughed. On the same day, there was an extra dish on our dining table, and we called it "cold buds". The mother -in -law did not finish the chili bud, and she said: "The remaining Chunya is used to make salted duck eggs and salty goose eggs."

After two months, her mother -in -law also called Grandpa to use beans to hook the peach on the peach tree. Grandpa hooked with beans, and her mother -in -law picked up below. The peaches I saw, and there were some reds on the surface of the pink white, and I called it "white flower peaches". The peach is very hard, and it tastes crispy. Because of seeing Grandpa's peaches, Grandpa and mother -in -law made peaches with knives into teeth and teeth. A peach can draw six or seven teeth. Every baby present can eat a teeth.

The mother -in -law said to the baby who ate Taozi, "Do you eat slowly, wait for me, okay?" She returned to the room and immediately cooking eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and cooked it to the baby. The baby died and jumped up with a smile: "It's so delicious!"

It turns out that when the white flower peach matures, the Dragon Boat Festival has also arrived. These eggs, duck eggs, goose and goose eggs are soaked by my mother -in -law with chun buds, and the taste is particularly fragrant.

"Tsubaki bud trees, white flower peaches ..." We grew up, so far we have not forgotten this childhood ballad.
