At that time, the village where the old house was located was in response to the call of the great socialist reform, and a new peasant village was set up, integrating the scattered families in various places, the houses were next to each other, and the vacant land was re-planned. When the rice was first planted, it was a huge green jade stone as far as the eye could see, and the beauty made people unable to take their eyes off it.

Cedar trees are planted in the open space in front of each house, and cedar trees are planted on both sides of the path into the village. My grandfather said that the reason why everyone chose to plant cedar trees at that time was because they were insect-proof, moth-proof, and had straight trunks, which were rare and valuable pillars.

Tang Yao loved cedar trees very much at that time. I love the energy that grows upwards no matter what, the green that emerges from its branches year after year, and its obscurity and few words. Fir trees can live for thousands of years. Tang Yao thought when he was a child that this tree should be able to understand people's hearts.

One day, you are standing at the entrance of the village and looking out, the tall trees on both sides of the straight country road, like two rows of sentinels, lined up to welcome the queen back to her hometown. At that time, if the sun was setting, the golden light and shadow shone on the top of the cedar tree, and the light and shadow that slipped out of the leaves were mottled and scattered all over the dirt path, as if it was paved with gold, and the momentum was magnificent, and the breath was full of endless fairy spirit. Tang Yao was thinking wildly at that time, if he walked out of this road, maybe he would be able to ascend to the immortal. From then on, one person attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven.

The second cousin once had a pair of parrot birds. But somehow one died. Since then, the other one screams in the cage every day, if you look at its little eyes, you will find that its eyes are full of loneliness, and the hearts of those who see it are also entangled. The second cousin was very soft since he was careful, and he couldn't see anything evil, so he opened the cage door and released the remaining bird.

"The deceased is gone, your life will go on, let's go, you will meet another bird, willing to be with you at the end of the world, day by day."

The second cousin also made a funeral poem for this purpose, which was engraved on the birdcage. I was reluctant to throw it away, and now it still hangs under the beams of the utility room. Tang Yao went to look at it a few times, and the lettering on it was still clearly visible.

"In three or two months, the years of movement.

The summer night is silent, only the cry is soft.

Empathetic and hurt, heartbroken and helpless.

I wish to open the door for the cage, and the red flowers are green and the water is green. ”

The men of the Lin family, both young and old, have sad feelings flowing on their bodies, and they live like poetry under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums, leisurely seeing the days of Nanshan, and envying others.

It is also miraculous to say, since then, on the cedar tree in front of the second cousin's door, every six o'clock in the evening, there is a bird standing at the top of the tree chirping, the sound is sometimes light and sometimes distant, sometimes sharp and sometimes slow, it sounds like a very sad song, but if you listen carefully, you feel that there is still a little gratitude and faint expectation in the song. Tang Yao likes the chirping of birds every day, and she tidies up everything early at ten o'clock in the evening, lying on the stone tiles on the balcony, holding a cup of Coke, and waiting for the arrival of the birds.

Although it was not surprising that there was a leading bird calling from a high place during that time period, Tang Yao felt that the bird was coming for his second cousin. In this life, I am fortunate to have the care of the Yiren, and the sky and the earth are far away. The reason for the second cousin's planting, now she is blessed, the summer breeze is gentle, and she can enjoy the fragrance of birds and rice in this farmland, which is also a beautiful thing in life.
