Spring is like a child, revealing a smile like an angel.
Last night, the west wind withered the trees and leaves, today the morning sun warms the human world.
The four seasons change, it’s beyond human control. Before a few days, it rained and snowed, the cold air was chilling, but spring’s footsteps were unhurried, arriving as scheduled. Small grasses stubbornly poked out of the ground cracks, unknown small flowers showed their figures, wild bees danced in the flower clusters, how wonderful!
Recalling those days, a young girl named Houli, carrying a flower-adorned cart, sang and laughed all the way to the countryside’s rapeseed fields. The air was filled with the fragrance of grass and earth, mixed with the seductive charm of flowers. For a kindergarten girl grown up in city’s concrete and steel forest, it was more than just a curious glance.
The little girl frolicked in the golden ocean of rapeseed flowers, instructing her to be careful of stumbling was useless. Even a slight stumble and a kiss with the earth didn't matter, she crawled up and continued to chase the flowers and bees in the sea of flowers. A clumsy camera could record the girl’s innocent and unrestrained appearance, spring was intoxicating.
Now, the daughter has grown up and moved away, there is no longer the scene of her and her father enjoying spring colors, flower fragrances, and bird songs. The former father-daughter joy, silently resides in the softest grooves of her heart.
The spring breeze blows, and in the shade of the pavilion downstairs, a man is greedily breathing in the humid air. Suddenly, the phone rang. It was the unit, an outsider construction worker carelessly broke someone else’s network cable, causing an obstruction. Quickly, the on-duty personnel handled it properly, minimizing the losses. A little girl hurried over, her fluffy yellow hair was particularly precious, she was even talking to me ‘’ without understanding. She raised her corners of her mouth, showing a smile. I quickly extinguished my cigarette to avoid polluting the air. The little girl swayed, I hurried to support her, and the young mother smiled and nodded, ‘it’s okay.’
The little girl still fell to the ground and struggled to get up, it didn’t matter. Her mother gently brushed the dust from her clothes. The little girl cried piteously, taking the opportunity to reach out her hands to her mother for a hug. Her mother skillfully held the child in her arms. The girl nestled on her mother’s shoulder ‘’ emitted a cry of distress, her mother gently rubbed her and softly comforted her. In a blink of an eye, the little girl stopped crying and smiled at me, I was ecstatic.
In those days, I was also a child in the village, Wang, as soon as I finished school, I carried a babbling infant to run in the wild, teaching the child to speak, seeing green seedlings saying ‘green and lush’, seeing ducks imitating their calls ‘’. It didn’t take long to learn, and later, when the child saw ducks, he instinctively shouted ‘’.
The young mother who held the little girl demonstrated a farewell gesture, the little girl smiled and made a flying kiss gesture to me, I was horrified and moved. This ordinary pavilion is full of beautiful scenery and springtime.
Watching the mother and daughter disappear among the green trees, I wished the little girl a beautiful childhood and a happy life, like the Yangtze River’s waves will push forward the previous waves.
In life, things don’t go as expected, it’s common. Bathed in the warm spring light, the sound of the little girl’s silver bell-like laughter echoed in my ears, time passed fleetingly and deliriously. Life is precious, everyone has their own worries, whether it’s work, study, or life, if you get entangled in disputes and worries, it’s like being covered in dark clouds and unable to pass through. As you feel, as you think, if you face it squarely, there are no insurmountable obstacles.
Even if life deceives you, there is always tomorrow. As long as you never give up, persevere, the future will be hopeful.
Love spring, love life more. The little girl’s angelic smile was more exciting than spring, inspiring and motivating…
