The two-kilometer sunflower belt stretches along the side of the Songhua River in late autumn. The large area of dazzling golden light not only illuminates the slowly flowing gray-blue Songhua River water, illuminates the long embankment, and naturally illuminates the mood of the people rushing here.
At this moment, everyone's moods were connected with each other, as if they were soulmates. Everyone was in this golden feast, blew away the birds flying happily in their hearts, as if they flew out of the hidden bird nest on their respective tree crowns from the trembling treetops in all directions. Some even used their small wings to knock off several yellow leaves that were about to fall. They met happily in the air and gathered in the deep blue sky.

all over the land sunflower
For urban people, it is really not easy to see such a large area of sunflower fields.
Similarly, Sunflower seems to have never seen so many army of viewers flocking in. If it is also perceived like a human, it will definitely be incredible. Maybe it thinks, I am growing on my own, why makes them so happy ?

has always been away from the sunflowers in the city. The wilderness is its real homeland. In fact, at this moment, it can also be called a visitor from afar. It was invited by the people in the city to take the initiative and enthusiastically. If these fresh primates in the steel and concrete were not released from the heart, they would be scattered in namelessly in the countryside, and spent their wilderness calmly in the casual glance of the simple farmers.
Sunflowers even thought that one day it would become a brilliant scenery.
For farmers, it is just a cash crop, it means a harvest other than grain and vegetables, and is a supplementary input to the first two.
When autumn comes, sunflower seeds have become commodities on the stall beds in the morning and night markets. Even now, the typical containers that carry it seem to be gray dustpans and yellow-gray baskets. Most of the owners of sunflower seeds dress up in plain clothes, or wear down jackets early, stand behind the stall bed, and combine them with it. together forms a simple scene, overflowing the rich atmosphere of late autumn .
sunflower seeds and the container that carry it are still the most rural part of the agricultural and sideline products market structure, which makes people feel sincere intimate.
It seems that every consumer of sunflower seeds walking to the bed of the stall has a rural complex, and can subconsciously bring out the small self that had rural experience in his childhood, or the figures of many relatives and neighbors.
Sunflower seeds awaken the dusty early memories. Sometimes he or she buys far more than just the sunflower seeds themselves, but using them as an intermediary and symbol. lets the taste buds of themselves when eating melon seeds, and lets the thoughts with the fragrance of melon seeds , today many years later, float back to the pastoral years of the past.

I remember that when I was a child, sunflowers were usually not planted by adults in the fields, but were planted in the vegetable garden in front of and behind their own houses, and were usually placed on the side, leaving a regular and small area. At that time, the melon seeds were more reserved for their own use, or as special gifts for autumn harvest, and were given to relatives in the city, so the sunflowers were more embellished in the vegetable garden. Although their figures were tall and special, swaying in the summer and autumn winds, they were not the protagonists in the vegetable garden, and of course they were not the protagonists in the minds of farmers.
Farmers love sunflowers, but do not give it supreme status. They give way to grain, vegetables, fruits, peaches, and peaches. It seems that it is an embellishment and a supporting role in the gaps between the aforementioned crops.
However, when late autumn comes, after a long wait, it can finally be taken seasonally by the owner. Of course, what we value is not the standing sunflower, but the fruits that bear from its flower plate.Especially, with the arrival of the long winter in the north, sunflower seeds have become increasingly indispensable in the minds of farmers.
melon seeds were brought into the iron pot in the kitchen, and when they were fried, the heat of the stir-fried melon seeds was dry and hot, mixed with the smell of salt and sand. Open the kitchen window and let the cold air outside come in, and hedge against . The melon seeds slowly become cold and no longer hot, so they can be brought to entertain guests.

Of course, by the Spring Festival, melon seeds became unusually important. It became a family of fruit trays series, became a "culture" for chatting before dining, and an irreplaceable "hand" for chatting. Its function is irreplaceable to apples and oranges, or in other words, it and the latter form the essentials in the small view of the northern living room tea table. It means warmth, closeness, no barriers, no strangeness, and no defense. It vaguely implies closer to , implying a heart-to-heart conversation, and contains a metaphor of relaxation. Once you start eating melon seeds, it means that the parties in the conversation can relax and be free from each other.
Think about it, people can ignore each other's sound of eating melon seeds with kindness, creating relaxed conditions for you to open your taste buds and interact. This is a small rebuttal to the so-called politeness of civilized etiquette, a return to the fireworks of the countryside, and is a quiet promise and expectation for the sense of familiarity .

Here, there is a story.
I remember when I was a junior high school student, my cousin-in-law visited my uncle's house for the first time, which was his father-in-law's house. My uncle's family warmly welcomed the new son-in-law.
After dinner, the family sat together and chatted with the new son-in-law. It was winter at that time, and the sunflower seeds just came down. After dinner, the fruits and melon seeds were brought up. But my cousin-in-law sat on the edge of the kang, half-sitting and half-standing, and talked very politely and seriously. After about two or three hours of "on-site assessment", I felt that it was a long time, but he didn't move the melon seeds at all. Of course, the fruits didn't move, but just drank some tea. After he left, my uncle and aunt had a great impression of him and praised him. One of the most important impressions was that he didn't eat a single seed, and he was really a civilized and polite young man.
This marriage will be done.
Many years later, he is no longer a new son-in-law. Once I asked him curiously, and I said, "I was there at that time and I was deeply impressed by your not eating melon seeds, because the melon seed plate was placed there. My aunt kept saying that you were eating melon seeds. You said it, but you just didn't eat it. Do you don't like melon seeds? He laughed and said that I was pretending to show you that I would have a good meal when I went home.
shows how effective sunflower seeds are.

Sunflower, as a cash crop, seems to be constantly expanding the planting area over the years. Some places and regions have even developed exclusive characteristic industries. This is how my cousin's husband is. Although he is getting older, he has already led the villagers of their village to start a business. Relying on extension products such as sunflower seed oil , etc., he has embarked on a path to create wealth. I told my cousin-law, you are no longer satisfied with eating melon seeds, you want to squeeze out the sunflower. He said, you don’t know anything about . The small sunflower seeds are so valuable that they go to .
Not only my cousin's husband entered the sunflower industry, but now in the vast northern regions, in the vast plains and in the undulating hilly areas, planting sunflowers is indeed becoming a choice. One after another, the sunflower fields are becoming a new rural landscape in summer and autumn, especially in autumn, the golden sunflower waves are surging on the earth.
Relying on sunflowers, some places have even formed sunflower seed market distribution centers. The economic value, market potential and medicinal value of sunflower seeds are constantly being released in various places, becoming an industrial chain and value chain that benefit the people and is also beneficial to society.A prominent phenomenon followed is that not only is the realization of sunflower practical functions, but also the aesthetic value of sunflower, as a plant that seems ordinary but is actually extraordinary, has finally made more and more people begin to care and cherish it.
This is a really good sign.

I once drove to a place with sunflower fields in the autumn. Because the scattered sunflower that I remembered as a child was no longer satisfying, so I often pay attention to some relevant information, and then go far away, invite friends to see the sunflower in the film, and feel the spectacular momentum of large-scale planting.
seems to no longer need to go far. Sunflowers have begun to move closer to cities of all sizes. If you pay special attention around the city, you will find that sunflower fields are emerging one by one. is becoming a novel component of sightseeing agriculture . Some experts say that sunflower is a plant with strong vitality and adaptability. It is a vigorous and thriving plant. It does not require strict climate and soil. It should have been widely loved and respected by us humans.
The unique artists have never been stingy with their talents for their praise of sunflowers. The passionate sunflower in Van Gogh's 's writing is probably the most famous. He seems to be Sunflower's earliest friend and soulmate. However, the sunflowers scattered around the world have far more than one temperament and more than one style. Works with various sunflower themes are even more beautiful. There are as many sunflower flower language alone. It is difficult to count the many characteristics it contains, and its connotations are extremely rich, far beyond the comparison of ordinary flower species.
Wandering in this sea of sunflowers by the river, it is an ornamental category, with a plant height of more than one meter. This is a category specially selected for the convenience of urban people to view. In fact, there was also an alias for sunflowers, called chrysanthemums. The name says it is very big and tall. The height of the plant is usually between one to three and five meters, which is clearly an extra-large chrysanthemum! Such a super large specification, breaks through people's perception of ordinary chrysanthemums and presents another noble beauty of the chrysanthemum family.

However, the noble beauty of sunflower is not rare in the world, nor is it high above. It stands simply in the fields and in our daily life. Although it is tall, it has always humbly lowered its head. It turns day by day, slowly and persistent, and its own flower plate is also the shape of the sun, and its petals are golden like the sun. It has such bright and brilliance of such multiple attributes, but it is always gentle and quiet.
This is a great man in the thousands of flower communities, and this is silently standing by the hunchback of corn sorghum and soybeans.
So, although the height of this sunflower by the river is not the highest among the sunflowers, it seems to be enough for the people in the city to be ecstatic, because this is a gift from Mother Nature from the deep embrace of the fields to the city that she is looking for.
This grand gift is like the concentration and expansion of the sunshine, and with its full gold color, it once again defines the golden earth.
