Summer is lively, with cicadas chirping non-stop, frogs drumming in lotus ponds, the sun not sparing its heat, the bright moon shining high in the sky, and people working hard.
When the air gets hotter and hotter, summer is coming, and it is a new experience.
Summer is intense, the kind of openness that doesnāt need to be concealed. It seems to be pouring passion into the moment, not asking for anything in return, just giving. It is not the shy and half-reserved style of spring, without the Begonia style of not yet raining and half-blooming flowers. What summer entrusts is pure sincerity. If you love, you must love deeply. If you entrust someone to someone else, then Since you have no intention, I will give up and end it happily.
In summer, when the red sun is high in the sky, black clouds will turn into ink in a moment, and white rain will drop. When this depression is vented, the sky will be clear again, and the summer rain will be so vivid. At this time, the child at home is the happiest. When it rains, she will stretch out her hand from the window at home to catch the raindrops. A handful of rain brings summer coolness. When it rains and the sky clears , she will wear sandals and go outside to play. When she sees stagnant water in the community, she will happily run over, step on the water, and chant: "Step on the pond, step on the pond." Children are like this, little things can keep the sunshine in their hearts for a long time.
Summer is a sweet time for people. In addition to the brightness of the sun, the refreshing summer rain, and the pleasant wind. After enduring the test of heat, a cool breeze became a great enjoyment. If you are in the mountains, the shade of green trees is a natural temperature regulator. There are clear lotuses planted in the lake, which stand gracefully. Standing by the water, the summer wind may still carry the fragrance of the lotus. "The lotus wind brings fragrance, and the bamboo dew drops silence it." It can be said to be an advanced state of enjoying the coolness and relieving the heat.
The bitter nights in midsummer are short. When there is no air conditioning, Shikumen residents take out their benches and bamboo chairs at home, swing their cattail fans, find a good seat, enjoy the draft in the alley, and chat about the classics of mountains and seas. , that was the eveningās repertoire. Sometimes, residents would cut the watermelon into pieces and share it. The watermelon was soaked in buckets during the day and has washed away the heat. It is sweet in the mouth and still retains the taste of the earth. Eating watermelon, listening to storytelling on the radio, and telling stories about the past, the excitement will last until midnight before dissipating. At this time, the alley has returned to its usual tranquility, waiting for the dawn of the next day.

This is summer, the summer I love. (Wang Lina)
