家乡的滋养 / The Gift Of My Hometown
家乡的滋养
11月的家乡
当我踏入村庄的时候，闻到一阵桂花香
白色的茶花淡淡的盛开，像是对现在开晒茶子的人们说
一浪接一浪
明年依旧丰盛如此
说起晒茶子
这个时段村里大部分人家忙着
当茶果慢慢晒裂，人们拨开茶壳
里面褐色的茶子呈现
傍晚时分
赏着落日
配合着邻居在翻晒和收茶子的声音连连不断
伴着一天的热气退散与丰盛完结
除此二者
金灿灿的金桔和橘子也在盛产
品尝着村里每家每户品种
相互交流
家里2株小橘甘甜
跟妈妈在园子里采摘也成了一种乐趣
分些给邻居
送些给亲戚
也是一种温情的连接
早晚我喜欢散步
早晨比较寂静
傍晚人们也在家里忙活
伴着狗子
享受自己自在的时光
再伴随阵阵花香
感觉自己的心都清静不少
感恩家乡的滋养
The Gift Of My Hometown
Hometown in November
The moment I stepped into the village, I caught the scent of osmanthus flowers.
White camellias bloom softly, as if whispering to the people now sun-drying tea seeds:
Wave after wave,
next year will again be as abundant.
Speaking of drying tea seeds —
at this time, most households in the village are busy with them.
As the tea fruits slowly dry and crack open, people peel away the shells,
revealing the brown tea seeds inside.
In the evening,
as we enjoy the setting sun,
the continuous sound of neighbors turning and gathering the tea seeds
mingles with the fading warmth of the day and the sense of a bountiful completion.
Besides these two,
glittering golden kumquats and tangerines are also in season.
We taste the varieties from each household in the village,
sharing and exchanging.
The two small orange trees at our home bear sweet fruit,
and picking them with my mother in the garden has become a joy.
Sharing some with neighbors,
sending some to relatives —
it’s also a warm connection.
Morning and evening, I love taking walks.
The mornings are quieter;
in the evenings, people are busy at home.
With my dog by my side,
I savor these moments of freedom.
Accompanied by the recurring fragrance of flowers,
I feel my heart grow much more serene.
Grateful for the nourishment of my hometown.
